249 About Lucy

"I wish you could stay."

"I don't wish to stay,I have school work to complete,and my laundry awaits me also."

"I said don't worry about your laundry."

"You're still doing them, right?"

"Yes,Lucy will do them when she gets back."

"Lucy?"

"Yes, she's my house help. She went to bury her uncle in Brooklyn."

"You guys have a house help? How come I didn't see her or heard about her all the time I spent here?"

"She's not someone we put in our conversations."

He locked the house door and they both headed towards the parking lot.

"About Lucy." Aria said when the car was moving.

"What about her?"

"How old is she?"

"Fifty_one,why?"

"Nothing,I was just asking."

"Wait,are you jealous?"

"Why will I be jealous of a fifty_one years old lady?"

"You thought she was a young girl that I may be attracted to."

Aria couldn't speak because it was so true,she thought Lucy was a girl of her age and got jealous at her being Corey's house help.

"So she takes care of you and your friends?"

"Yes."

"How much do you guys put together for the house rent?"

"Rent? That's my house,I'm not renting. My father bought it for Nicole and I when we were enrolling at NYU,she claims it's too far from the campus so she prefers the dorm."

"But Jake said you guys are renting."

"That's what we say,but it's my house actually. Jake and I have known each other for years, so when I saw him on campus the first year,and the dorm which he was staying in with Mario had problems. I invited them to be with me until the problem with their dorm was solved. We've been living together since."
