Chapter 7 "Alyssa, Brian! Thank you so much for taking time to go out with me for the baby room" Holly said, happily. They just got home from shopping, holding a few big paper bags. They shopped the whole afternoon today for Holly’s child.
"You’re very welcome honey” Brian grinned, today was the most happy for him because Holly smiled all day when seeing some cute babies stuff at the mall, he really enjoyed to see her smile. Holly had not gave such a happy face like that for very long time, ever since David was not around her
"Are you tired?" Alyssa asked Holly.
"Nah! I’m enjoying shopping for my child, I'll never feel tired because I'll do anything for him" Holly smiled so brightly "And I decided to pick light blue color for the walls of the baby room"
"Light blue sounds very cute for babies" Alyssa grinned.
"Yeah that what I was thinking. Blue is David's favorites color and I love light colors so I mixed them, then I can almost feel David is here with me participating when I see the room" Holly gave a big smile.
Brian was hardly breathing when Holly mentioned David again, he felt the beat of his heart deeply, he was a bit upset that her eyes were only on David, 'why wasn’t she moved by all the thing I do for her?'
Alyssa turned on the television, they watched some sad movie about to lovers ripped apart by death
Brian switched off the television right away, he was afraid that it would remind Holly of her grief again.
"That’s okay Brian, I’m fine, turn it on please" Holly managed to give a nice smile.
"No! please" Alyssa said
"Ok. I got something to tell you. Well I- I’ve met a girl named Liz the other day when I went to David’s grave" Holly sat on the couch "She told me that she still loves David"
"Uh-huh. Really?" Brian was not surprised, but he said in uneasy
"You already knew that?" Holly said suspicious
"Tell us honestly hun" Alyssa said.
Brian had no choice when the two girls he loved, forced him.
"Yes, I know that" He nodded slightly.
"And?" Holly emphasized.
"They had just dated twice secretly"
"Ohhh!" Holly put her hand on her forehead .
"But trust me please, David just dated her twice only, they didn’t keep in touch anymore since he decided to marry you, Oh, sorry David" Brian said inward because he broke the promise with David but he couldn’t hide anything from Holly when she asked.
Holly let out a long sigh "That’s okay, there’s no need to get mad at him about this David passed away" she was walking toward the stairs "I’m going to take a shower"
"Oh! It’s time for me to rush" Brian said
"See ya, nite" Holly looked back and smiled, Brian waved his hand.
"Have a sweet dream honey" Alyssa hugged Brian from behind and whispered but Brian was startled as he was staring at Holly’s back who was walking on upstairs.
"Alyssa" Brian held her and whispered in her ear
"Huh" Alyssa replied to him softly
"Nothing, just wanted to say your name" Brian was hugging her tightly, he lied his head down on Alyssa’s shoulder
"Silly sweetheart" Alyssa said sweetly with rosy face.
"Sorry Alyssa" Brian stroked her hair
"For what hun"
"Sorry for having a bad temper at you, sorry that I’ve been yelling at you" Brian said.
Indeed he still kept a word in heart, didn’t tell her - Also Sorry for if someday I leave you.
"Don’t say sorry sweetie. You know we never start a fight for just those little things. I understand what bad mood you ware in you lost your best friend" Alyssa whispered.
"Sorry sweetheart" Brian said, softly. They were cuddling tighter and tighter.
Alyssa kissed passionately his thin soft lip before Brian left.
At 4:00 in the night, everybody was asleep at that time. Except Holly, she woke up by a sweaty and hot feeling. "Why I feel so hot? Summer is not coming yet" Holly said on mind and sitting on the bed "No wonder" She had discovered that she got two thick blankets on her body. "Pfff! Silly Alyssa always worrying about me like I will be sick anytime like a kid" Holly shook her head slightly and smiled. She folded the one blanket and packed it in the drawer then went to bed to sleep again.
The next morning
"Morning!" Alyssa yelled enthusiastically as soon as Holly came to the table to get ready to have breakfast.
"Morning! hun. Did you sleep well?" Holly sat down.
"Yea I did, did you?" Alyssa passed her a glass of milk, Holly toke it
"Same here! Plus thank you honey for getting me the thick blankets making me so warm" Holly smiled.
"Thick blankets?" Alyssa said
"Yea! You got me a thick blanket but I woke up in the middle of the night suddenly cause I felt hot. Haha! But it's very sweet you are thoughtful"
"I didn’t do anything last night" Alyssa shook her head
"You didn’t?" Holly looked surprised and raised her eyebrow.
"I even didn’t come in your bedroom" Holly waved the knife.
"It’s weird. I usually only take one blanket in bed but last night I got two. Or did Brian do that for me?"
"No way, he had left already when you took a shower"
"Huh?!" Holly looked confused at Alyssa.
"I think you probably forgot that you took two blankets" Alyssa said, assuredly.
"Hmmm maybe you’re right" Holly muttered, thinking to herself: did I take it myself last night?? But I was quit sure I didn’t take it before I went to sleep, what’s wrong??
