CHAPTER 7
Elva’s POV
‘OMG Elara is beating up Nicky” I said referring to the novel I’m reading. I laughed hard on the couch.
‘Yeah, Nicky is a loser” Mig said.
I badly wanted to pee but I don’t know how to tell Mig,I can’t walk fine by myself and I don’t want to disturb him,I have no choice right now.
I cleared my throat.
‘Hmm..Mig can you please support me to the bathroom,I badly need to pee” I muttered.
‘Ohh..Okay” He said.
‘I’m so sorry to disturb you” I said.
‘You aren’t disturbing me okay?..he stood up from the couch and was about carrying me.
‘I can do with just leaning on you for support” I said even if I badly want him to carry me.
‘Ohh..Really? are you sure you can limp to the bathroom,you badly need to pee and the limping is sure gonna take forever so you wont end up peeing all over your beautiful shorts” He said jokingly and we both laughed..
He ended up scooping me in his arms before carrying me to the bathroom..
Ahâ¦I can stay in his arms forever.
**
‘If you are done,just call on me. I’m right by the door” He said after dropping me in the bathroom.
‘Thanks Mig” I said before he walked out,he closed the door behind him.
I tugged down my short and lowered my butt into the clean toilet seat.
I finished peeing,I twisted the faucet to flush the pee, after that,I limped to the sink.
While washing my hand,I looked out of the window and saw it was almost getting dark.
I called on Mig after I’m done,he walked in and picked me up again..
Uhm..
He dropped me on the couch and sat beside me.
‘Thanks Mig” I said and he nodded.
‘You won’t believe it’s almost dark” I said.
‘Yeah,while engrossed in something,you lose track of time” He said.
‘Ohh and what we are engrossed in is?” I asked sarcastically.
‘Novel” We said together and laughed.
‘But Mig,this novel is more interesting than I thought” I said.
‘Yeah that made it my best novel and you are yet to enjoy it,just wait till you get to the revenge part then all hell will let loose” He said.
‘Really?” I asked in anticipation.
‘Ofcourse”
‘I can’t wait ‘ I said,picked it up and continued from where I stopped.
***
‘I’m home” We heard and raised up our heads.
I smiled on seeing Fleur walking towards us with two shopping bags almost filled to the brim.
I hoped I wasn’t the one she bought those things forâ¦I mean she has spent a lot on me already.
‘Welcome Fleur” I said.
‘Welcome sis” Mig said.
‘Thanks guys,Elva how are you feeling now ?” She asked.
‘Much more better,thanks” I said.
‘How was work today?”
‘Stressful as ever” She said, sitting on a nearby couch⦔I’m so tired and hungry” She added.
‘Sorry” I muttered.
‘Thanks Elva” She said pushing her hair from her face.
‘I left some meat loaf for you,you can just warm it up in the microwave and eat it” Mig said.
‘Ohh..Mig I’m so tired,can you do that for me please” Fleur whined pulling her palms together, she then rubbed it slowly as a plea to Mig who has a frown on his face.
I chuckled inwardly..
‘Please bro” Fleur said.
‘Ok..ok, you sure know how to make that pity face” He scoffed playfully,stood up and walked to the kitchen.
‘I love you bro” Fleur shouted and smiled.
‘ I Love you more sis” Mig shouted from the kitchen.
‘Elva I bought you some toiletries,a body towel,body lotion,hair lotion,pyjamas and some clothes with other things” Fleur said.
‘Thanks so much Fleur but that’s too much, it would have definitely cost you a lot” I said.
‘No it’s okay” She said with a smile.
‘Thanks so much Fleur” I said.
‘I will help you keep them in your room” She said and stood up,pulling the shopping bags with her.
‘Thank you” I said feeling so grateful to have such caring people around me.
Fleur walked back to the living room,now clad in a comfortable shorts with a big polo and bunny footwear.
She sat beside me on the couch.
‘Mig is the meal loaf heated up ?” She asked loudly.
‘It’s ready, I’m about dishing it out” Mig said.
‘Okay”
‘Elva are you feeling pains anywhere apart from your head and ankle ?” Fleur asked.
‘No Fleur” I said.
‘Here it is” Mig said handing over a plate of meat loaf with a glass cup of water to Fleur.
‘Thanks bro” Fleur collected it and started eating hungrily.
Ohh..She must be really starving.
‘I’m going back to the kitchen to make dinner” Mig said.
‘Ok,you are the best” Fleur said with a mouthful.
‘I know you hear this all the time but you’re the best sister in the universe” Mig said.
He flicked a small smile at her before walking back to the kitchen, Fleur grinned.
I felt jealousâ¦Was my family as sweet as this?
Do I have siblings ? I thought trying hard to remember but I felt a sharp pain tore through my head.
‘Ouch” I cried in pain.
‘Are you okay ?” Fleur asked worriedly and I nodded.
‘Yeah,I just felt a sharp pain tore through my head” I said.
‘While you were forcing yourself to remember something right?” Fleur asked and I gazed at her in surprise.
I nodded slowly.
‘But I told you not to do that,it might cause some health failures and also make your amnesia last longer” She said.
‘I’m sorry,I just couldn’t help it” I said.
‘You don’t have to be sorry,I perfectly understand ok” She said and I nodded..
She kept me busy with work talks till dinner got ready !
**
We finished eating the spicy dinner Mig prepared.
Mig is also a very good cook.
We said our goodnights and Mig carried me to my room,he dropped me on my bed and turned to leave.
‘Thanks so much Mig” I saidâ¦
He smiled before walking out,closing the door behind him.
I saw the things Fleur bought for me on the couch and I grinned harder.
âWhy don’t I try on the pyjamas’ I thought and stood up from the bed limping slowly towards the couch..
I poured out the content of the shopping bags on the couch and smiled..Everything is looking so beautiful and colourful.
Fleur sure knows how to select the best.
I managed to arrange them in the wardrobe but left the pink pyjamas behind.
I slipped off my outfit and quickly put on the pyjamas.
Wow,it felt heavenly.
I limped back to the bed smiling all through..The pyjamas felt so soft and free against my skin..
I crawled under the blanket,laid comfortably before switching on the bedside lamp.
I yawned loudly before drifting off to sleep.
