Chapter 83 - Get out! (1/2)
Kris was the first one to be awoken from the bang. Usually, he would wake up right away, but somehow, he felt that he had a good night sleep. When did his bed get so tiny?
Kris tried to move but his arm was heavy. He opened his eyes to see a woman on his bed! He got off the bed to the side and Lena's body suddenly woke up like a ghost.
”AHHHH!” Kris screamed.
Lena turned to face him and screamed very loudly too. James who was still outside thought best if he did not go in. He will stay outside.
”Why are you screaming?!” Kris shouted at her.
”Because you are screaming.”
”Why are you here?!”
”This is my bed!”
Kris stopped and looked around the room. He ruffled his hair. This was not his room. He gave Lena a deadly stare. Lena jumped from the bed, standing on the opposite side of Kris.
”Don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything!”
”What did you do!!”
At this point, James opened the door. He knew that something was wrong with the situation. Lena quickly moved behind James. She poked her head out.
”You fainted in my hallway and I dragged you inside. You were like a zombie and you choked me and then you called me mom and then you hugged me and then you dragged me to sleep and then that's it!” Lena said all that in one breath. She tucked her head back, making sure James was her shield.
Kris was trying to remember what happened. Lena stuck her head back out.
”Except that part... where I dragged you in.” She stumbled to say that out. She had promised herself to put the blame on James last night but it already slipped out of her mouth.
From all the experience Lena had with Kris, she knew that he gets aggressive whenever he touches a woman.
”You called me mom too.” Lena reiterated that part.
”Get out!”
”But this is my--”
”OUT!”
Lena dragged James and shut the door behind them. She looked up at James and then back at the door. ”Do you think he's mad?”
Lena was going to walk to the door and put her ear on it but it suddenly opened again. Kris stuck out his hand.
”Give me your phone.”
”I don't have mine.”
James quickly took out his cellphone and gave it to Kris. ”Passcode is 1015.” It was the birthday of his daughter.
Kris abruptly closed the door again. James looked down at Lena. She was still wearing the clothes she had on yesterday.
”Did you change your bandage?” James asked.
”Ah.. no.” Lena looked down at her wound. The skin has healed but she still needed to clean it until it fully heals. An infection would cause the wound to be reopened and take longer to heal.
Lena grabbed the first aid kit from the living room and entered the bathroom in the hallway. She cleaned and changed her bandages. She looked at her neckline and luckily, there were only some slight redness and no bruises. They were barely noticeable unless you looked very close. When she came out, her bedroom door was still shut tight.
”What is he doing?” Lena went to the door and put her ear by it. She could hear the water of the shower running. ”He's taking a shower?” Lena looked at James. ”What is going to wear?”
