Sorry

Alex licked her lips as she finished her meal. Nathan grabbed the napkin and cleaned the corners of her mouth.

She looked up and he smiled, "Should I bring the same next time, you seemed to like it"

She pulled back, "Mmm, it was good almost like my mother's cooking"

"Am glad you enjoyed it" he got up and took the tray away meeting the quiet Cynthia in the kitchen.

"Your sister claimed that you offered to help her with her bath," he said.

She nodded, "Yes".

"Then can you go ahead and help her, she has been uncomfortable the whole day I am worried it might affect her skin," he said.

Cynthia blinked and glanced at her sister still on the couch licking her lips.

She had not done that when she bought the food that morning but with his, it seemed she even wanted more.

"Okay" she replied to Nathan and walked to the living room.

Alex looked up at her sister.

"Time for that bath I promised in the morning" she smiled.

Alex smiled, "I do need it"

Cynthia turned to Nathan still in the kitchen and then back to her sister.

"What is it now?" Alex asked.

"Am sorry but am not strong enough to get you to your bathroom?" she said.

Alex frowned, "Just put my arm on your shoulder and support me to my room that's all"

Her sister sighed and bent down doing as Alex had said. They were up but lazy Cynthia was unstable almost throwing them both back on the sofa.

A hand grabbed Alex scooping her into Nathan's arms missing Cynthia who dropped to the sofa alone.

"Careful or you will hurt yourself again" his black eyes where seemed annoyed.

"Sorry" she found herself saying. Cynthia looked up and saw them stare back at each other.

"Should I head this way?" he asked. Alex nodded and he moved to the door she was pointing at. Cynthia quietly followed them.

Cynthia helped open the bathroom door where he placed her down next to the bathtub.

"Okay, I will leave her to you now" he briefly glanced at Cynthia and walked out closing the bedroom door behind him.

.....

"Okay you need to tell me what exactly is going on," Cynthia said holding her sister's arm.

"What now Cynthia, can you ask the question as you help me with my bath" she cried.

"Okay" her sister agreed.

As she soaked in the tub her sister sat down on the toilet seat.

"So you mean that ever since that night, his been on to like this?" she asked.

"Yes, and I don't even see what's so good about me that his so interested" Alex sighed.

"What, your gorgeous you just never let yourself show it. That man outside sees it and I know he's not going anywhere until he has you" Cynthia giggled.

"Stop saying nonsense and come help me wash my hair," she said.

Cynthia helped her, "I know you don't believe it cause you never give anyone a chance. But this man has gone out of his way just to show you his intentions so why don't you give it a chance"

Alex closed her eyes to the massaging fingers in her hair, "Am not like you sister, I don't have any love in me to share cause I think about is making enough money and help mother with her life. So that man out there will leave when he sees that am not interested in his affection".

Her sister laughed, "But you seemed to enjoy the attention a while ago".

"Don't say anything that will piss me off"

Cynthia shut up and washed her sister's hair.

After her bath, Cynthia helped her dry up, change and get in bed. She left her alone and headed back to the living room when she heard her phone ring.

When she returned Cynthia said, "Your prince charming had to leave for a brief meeting but said he will be back later in the evening"

Alex scowled, "his not my prince charming".

"We both know he is, and he seemed sad leaving you as if I want here with you. I bet if it was important he would not have left" said Cynthia.

"Can we please talk about something else am tired of hearing this topic"Alex yelled.
