005- ALANA!

The house fellt cozy and warm and it was a two bedroom apartment, there were two sofas in the living room and a Sony television at the center. The warmth was both comforting to the body and the soul as denim had been out in the cold all through the previous night. The living room was painted white not too bright but it was still white.

"Alice!!! you're back, come over here and lend some help okay" a voice sounded from what would be the kitchen.

" I'm coming!, Denim that's the owner of the house. I live with her here" she said while walking to the kitchen.

Denim followed her and when they got to the kitchen, Denim saw a young woman who looked to be in her early 20s, she was wearing a casual blouse and a free pajamas trousers, She had a milk-caramel type skin and oh my goodness she was beautiful matter of fact she was gorgeous. Her body shape was sublime with a decently sized boobs and perky ass, she was perfect and when she turned, her face was just as beautiful, with a hint of maturity in it.

" So Alice tomorrow we're making smoked turkey and lettuce Packets, nice Beef Wrap-Ups, Herb Popovers, Christmas Goose, Stuffed Potatoes with Buttermilk and Bacon but this night I'm making toast there are no Christmas ingredients, so we'll to go to the mall as early a possible tomorrow to get our ingredients, and tomorrow we'll have an outing with....." When she noticed me standing behind Alice she stopped talking.

" who is he" she asked.

" uhm he's a bit stranded, so I'm having him stay for a while"

She kept quiet and was staring at denim for a while but her gaze conveyed her discomfort with having me around.

" Alice can we talk for a while....alone" she asked.

And then they went out of the kitchen to another place probably a bedroom in the house leaving Denim in the living room.

Alana's pov

" This is sooo not funny, you just pull up at the house with someone we don't even know, what if he's bad news" Alana stood there looking at the young lady staring back at her with very peculiar thoughts running through her mind.

"Tell me what a stranger is doing here and spare me the story of "he is stranded" for God's sake, he looks like he's barely weaned and you are telling me someone as young as that is stranded. Listen I know you're a kind hearted person but I really don't feel good having a stranger around okay" she said in very stern tone.

"So maybe tell him to tell us how to contact his parents or something, he might just be a rebellious kid running away from home"

" his parents are dead, he's basically an orphan and the least we can do for him is just to having around for a few days till he knows what he wants to do" Alice retorted with her emotions evident on her face.

" how do you know he's an orphan "

" he told me"

"What if that's not the truth, he might be lying okay, how could you even trust a random stranger"

" Alana stop okay, this is going too far. I know you're not cool with having a stranger around and that's okay but I pay rentage fees to live in here so at least I can accommodate someone if I have a visitor"

" Oh you pay rent, nice is that how you want to go about it, have you thought about the fact that if anything goes wrong I live here as well, you paying rent does not mean you can bring any random stranger into the house Alright, listen girl it's not all that safe round here okay"

" Alana for the love of God he is just a 14 years old kid is there a need to get this worked up"

Alana was about to fire back when they heard a male voice from the door side.

General pov

"Uhm miss I don't think you guys should fight because of me Alright, don't worry I'll findca way to get by, so don't worry if you don't feel safe having me around it's okay I'll leave" Denim said. There was no sound containing instruments in the house so when their voice got raised he could hear what they were saying to each other. He knew they treated each other well and that she might be the only person that Alice can rely on and so he was reluctant to have them fight each other because of him.

" And Alice thanks for having me around I really appreciate" he turned and he went outside the house, it was snowy and cold and he basically didn't even know where to even go but he just kept walking 🚶 along the road with his hands in his pockets as he wore no glove.

" Denim!" He had walked forward for a while before he heard Alice's voice calling out behind him, she was breathing a bit heavily as if she had ran to get here.

" come, I'm not allowing you to go anywhere okay, don't worry about me and Alana we always have arguments and we always sort our selves out and I'm very sorry for the way she treated you" she said

" but....." Denim wanted to say before she interrupted.

" no buts I won't forgive myself if I let you leave just like that on a cold night" she said and then she ran towards me, grabbed my hands and started dragging me back to her place.

Denim did not resist again but a nice smile broke out on his young face and a drop of tear slid down his face.

"I cry too easily for a man of my age, there has to be a problem somewhere, why are my emotions all over the place" Denim thought worriedlly.

When they got back into the house Alana was still in the living room but she acted as if she did not see him.

" when you're done your food is in the kitchen and I made a plate for him as well" she sighed softly before walking into her room.

" thanks sis" Alice muttered while looking intently at the receding frame of Alana.

" now the bathroom is over there go get some shower, you stink!" she said while making a nose holding gesture at me.

" Damn, you gon treat me like that " Denim said before storming into the bathroom, he could die if he went one more minute without a shower.

After he had a hot nice shower and the stench was now gone from his body he felt so good and magical.

" You really do have some nice looks, anyways that's your food on the table, you'll sleep on the sofa, the bedsheet there is for you to wrap yourself. Good night " she said before walking off to her room.

After he had finished eating, he took out the painkillers that alice bought him and used two, he laid his tired self down gently on the long sofa and in no time he was off to dreamland.
