Chapter54:dead sister.

"I didn't say such a thing."I told him though I was not sure I said something like that.

"How would you know when you said you don't remember?"he asked smiling. I don't want to believe him because he can't be saying the truth.

"I don't want to talk about this. Let me remember something first then we'll talk then. How about that?"I asked raising a brow at him.

"Of course. I don't mind doing that."he said confidently. Damnit he's not lying. I thought he would give excuses about that. I will have to give excuses to escape this conversation.

"Can you put me down now?"I asked him when I realized I was still on the kitchen counter.

"But I'm not done. I came for this. I missed you baby and I still love you, you know that right."he said smiling.

"You came today?"I asked him.

"I arrived a few hours ago. Now stop with the questions. I need those lips right now."he said and before I could say anything he had started kissing me. I really wanted to ask him why he's here and not in China. He broke the kiss and I groaned in displeasure then he chuckled.

"This is not funny." I said pulling his shirt towards me so he can continue kissing me but he refused to kiss me. What the hell is it now? He flicked my forehead and I glared at him as I touched the place he flicked. It doesn't hurt but I feel like acting spoilt right now.

"Stop exaggerating baby."he said then he lifted me and carried me like a baby." you need to eat don't you feel hungry? I've just heard your stomach grumble." He said and my mouth hung open.

"No way my stomach did that."I denied but immediately it grumbled loudly and I hid my face in his neck and he laughed out loudly.

"Oh my God, you again? What the hell. I need to go now it seems I'm not needed here anymore."Shawn voice was heard screaming. I stiffened in Alex's arms and struggled to be put down but Alex wouldn't let me as he tightened his grip under my but.

"You are not needed Shawn. You may go." Alex said and I hit him in the shoulder and he laughed. He's been laughing a lot since he came and I like it so much.

"Please Shawn don't go. We are just about to eat, why don't you sit and eat. Alex cooked."I said.

"Hell no, no way he's eating food that I made for you baby. It's special only for you, now Shawn just go like you said you were."Alex said shouting and I got out of his neck and I looked at his face. He's really angry.

"I changed my mind, I might wonna stay for lunch, even supper though. You know what, I think I'll stay for a while." Shawn said smiling at Alex and now their game is on. He wants to get back at Alex. Alex glared at him and he took me to the dining room and sat me on the chair.

"Let me get the food baby. I want to see how some people are going to have the food I cooked."he said going to the kitchen. I held his wrist before he can move.

"I know it was special for me honey, but you can't starve my best friend. He was the one keeping me company all this time. Consider this a thank you gift for him. Please baby."I told him sweetly because I knew he's gonna starve Shawn just like he said. He looked at Shawn then me and sighed.

"Fine, but only this once. Once I pay this gift or whatever it is, I'm done with doing more favours for this guy. His boyfriend is a good cook too, he should probably visit him."Alex grumbled and I looked at Shawn. He has a boyfriend and I don't know about it?

"He's just bluffing to come back at me."he said immediately Alex left and I nodded smiling.

"Have you seen Melissa? It's on Saturday, she's busy even on weekends? I thought she would come down to see her brother?"I asked Shawn who just shrugged. He doesn't like Melissa I guess. They barely talk but Meli and I barely talk too. That's so weird because I get along with almost everyone. I didn't think much about it because she's probably so busy with work such that she don't find time.

Alex came with food and he served me but he didn't serve Shawn. I was grateful that at least he did bring some food for him.

"Did you find the pill?"I asked after I was done eating.

"Yep."he said looking down at his food." Alex really cooks great. I never thought a guy like him can cook. Actually I wanted to taste his food so I can judge it and trash talk it but now I can't even do that."he said smiling at Alex and I glared at him.

"That's mean Shawn."I told him but he just shrugged. What the hell is always wrong with these two?" Alex, have you seen your sister?"I asked him but he didn't respond. Well, that's weird. I didn't say anything neither did everyone until a voice broke the silence.

"Wait, you had lunch without me?"Melissa asked sulking. No one replied to her. In fact I'm the only one who looked at her, Shawn was busy on his phone probably ignoring her and Alex stood up and left without sparing any glance at her. Someone had to play the bigger person I guess.

"Ummmm. I thought Alex left some for you. Have you checked the kitchen?"I asked her.

"He cooked?"she asked and I nodded."don't bother, I'll just go make something for myself."she said and left for the kitchen. I looked at the dirty utensils and collected them and took them to the kitchen to wash them. I found Melissa cooking and I looked at her.

"Are you and Alex doing okay?"I asked because I noticed something was not really good.

"No, we are not."she replied.

"Ooh what happened?"I curiously asked.

"I... You know my dead sister Lexi right?"she said and now I was seriously shocked.

"Dead?"I asked just to confirm if she's saying it right.

"Ummm.. yeah. He didn't tell you? He has a history with her and I said something I shouldn't have. Maybe that's why he's here I guess. He thinks I'm not taking care of you the way I'm supposed to be."she said and I looked at her worried. Alex just argued with her sister because of me? That's not right. It's not Melissa's job to watch me, I'm a grown ass woman for fucks sake. What is he so afraid of? 

"I'm so sorry Melissa. About your late sister. I didn't know about that."I told her sincerely.

"No, it's fine."she said and continued doing her cooking and we didn't talk any more.

I washed my dishes and dried them then I excused myself. I found Shawn still busy with his phone so I didn't bother him. I went upstairs to look for Alex. He and I need to talk. He also need to tell me about this Lexi. He promised he would tell me about her now it's the time.
