20 A temporary roommate (2/2)

-Yes Selina? I'm here.

-What's gonna be his *official* name?

-Shen Anderson. My bad.

-Prett..,- His screams interrupted me.

-No don't! I am hydrophobic! Layla(sounds of water splash).

-...,- It was satisfying to know that he finally made it for a day. As an isolated individual the contentment that comes with being around people one loves was lost on me. But even if it was for a mere few hours, I was able to find them as my own. Maybe that's why I was happy with myself, I guess.

-...I, sorry for that. As I was saying, I chose the name without your consent. It kinda felt bad too.

-Pretty catchy too.

-Yeah...No, not you too Jane! Here goes nothing!

-...

-Hey? I had to write something on the paper.

-Maybe you need your partner. Getting overwhelmed much?

-You bet. Next time?

-Yeah. Alright, talk to you later.

-...and he should be okay to hit the club in a week. Check back if there's anything.

-Thanks Ma'am. I appreciate the time.

-Take these and sign out at the reception. No need to worry, he'll be kicking it off soon.

-Yes Ma'am.

So I bailed out a new Shen from hospital whom I had caught with a stolen file now officially approved as my cousin.
