Alfred paused. He stirred blankly at the screen.. "Everyone calls her that"
"You're not everyone. " Alfred turned and looked at her. "These clothes suits you perfectly"
"Why change the topic?". When she didn't get a reply, she apologized. "I'm sorry if I asked a question I wasn't supposed to."
"Forgiven". He snapped and continued with his setting
"All done. Do you play?"
"Very well".
"Impressive. I should believe you can play all?"
"All except football"
"Why football?"
"Let's just say, it's not my thing"
"Hmm. Do you want to try?"
"Hmm?"
"I will teach you". She nods. "Grab a pad". She took the second pad from the table.
He followed the necessary procedures and began tutoring her. She was quick to learn. They continued playing not realising how quickly time went by.
Afterwards they played chess. They argued a lot as they played. They were Laughing and having fun until Alfred began to yawn repeatedly.
''Don't you have anything in that kitchen of yours or do you want to swallow me whole?". Julian joked
"You would make a great meal" Alfred replied. Julian glared at him. "I'm too tired to make anything"
"Let's make something together. I'm also hungry."
"Together?". Alfred smiled.
"Hey, don't get any funny thoughts". she warned.
"Noodles would do". Alfred said pretending not to have said anything.
'Yea". They paused the game and left for the kitchen.
Jillian cooked while Alfred assisted.
They looked like a picture perfect couple. After cooking they ate in the kitchen laughing at their own jokes.
After eating, Julian washed the plate while Alfred rinsed and dried the plates.
"Time was really fast today" Julian spoke
"Yea. I can't believe it's already 6". Alfred replied.
"I'll be right back'". Julian said after washing the plates
She entered the bathroom and sighed. "Why do you have to flow so heavily today. This is the third time I'm changing today". She decided to bath first before
changing. Another cloth was already waiting for her. "He sure knows what am about to do". This time around he laid out a big polo. She wore it but refrained from looking in the mirror. she was afraid the cloth made her look like a..... She didn't want the mirror to confirm it and discourage her.
Alfred's jaw dropped as she walked into the sitting room. He had chosen the polo because he knew she would need something free to sleep in but he never thought about the consequences. The polo was barely
covering her thighs. He nipples looked like they could poke a hole in the cloth and run loose. Her wet hair was no longer in a ponytail. She let them fall over her
shoulder down to her back. The dimmed light
complimented her. She looked breathtaking. Alfred was smitten for a few minutes before his phone beeping interrupted his thoughts.
'I love that look':-; Jeff
'Disabled' :; Ethan. it's just for remembrance. 'You can take the cameras down'; Ethan
"I hope not". He said out loud
What's wrong?". He didn't reply as he checked his WhatsApp message.
"They took this too far."
"Who..." She paused realizing who he was talking about "What else have they done?
"Have a look". He handed over the phone to her. She was surprised to see pictures of today, everything thing that happened today. "They are dead". He used the angle of the
pictures to take down the camera's. There were two in the sitting room and one in the kitchen.
"Im sorry about....," Alfred stopped because Julian was smiling.
"This looks cute" she commented on a picture.
"You aren't mad?"
"Why would I be?. I would like a copy of these". Alfred had a hard time deciding if she was being serious or just pulling his legs. "I'm serious"
"Fine. I just realised I don't have your number"
"I'll add it once am done"
"Miss!" She looked at him. "You look breathtaking in this cloth"
She smiled shyly "thanks". When she finished she added her number to his phone.
"What can we do tonight?". Alfred stood in front of her and smirks.
"we would do what couples do"
"What" Julian was alarmed. "What.... What exac..you"
"What do couples do in the evening and in a dimly lit room". Alfred walked towards her.
"Wh... Wh... What are ... You trying to do?"
"Alfred stop" she said and drew back until her back hit the wall.
"You really don't know what couples do". He stretched his hand as if to touch her waist, his close proximity caused her to shut her eyes involuntarily. He turned on the switch which was behind her, "They Watch
movie". He picked up the remote and sat down
"Huh?"
"Let's watch a movie..
