Come With Me novel Chapter 88

I saw wood in the yard during the day. By the light coming out from the window, I took some wood and set on fire to keep warm in both east and west houses.

I sat by the fire, watching it burning until it was full of fire and wood. In fact, I didn't have to sit outside all the time, but I didn't want to go in. The feeling of something can be seen but without my reach was so torturing.

"What are you thinking about?"

I didn't even know when Rogelio came out and squatted beside me.

I was surprised. The light of the fire reflected the delicate outline of Rogelio. He smiled slightly and looked at me with soft eyes.

He put a piece of wood into the fire.

"Why did you come out? Aren't you playing cards? "

Rogelio looked at me, with fire and me in his eyes.

"I'm not good at playing cards anyway. The three of them also can play cards. I want to come out to see what I can do for help."

"It's not clean here. Your clothes might get dirty."

"It doesn't matter. I have clothes to change."

I looked at Rogelio and felt a little sad. I didn't want him to leave tomorrow, and I couldn't go with him.

"Rogelio, I seem to be going to break my promise. I'm not going to leave tomorrow."

Rogelio's eyes darkened for a moment, but soon he smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter. In fact, I also want to tell you that I might be the one who broke the promise."

"You?"

"I won't leave for now. Robbie is here, too. I want to stay here and make up for the lonely time with him. Maybe you know, he rarely comes back home."

I couldn't remember if I had been very happy to see Rogelio for some more time.

But I remembered that day we sat there, roasted the fire together, and sometimes looked at each other. I would feel shy and Rogelio would smile at me as if he was comforting me.

"Let's let it go. I hope we can go back together." Rogelio added.

"What are you two talking about here? What can't be said in front of us? Why you sneak around here?"

Xenia blurted out and said without thinking again.

I was ashamed and annoyed. "Can't you shut your mouth? If you don't shut up, I'll fire you! "

Xenia made a funny face. When I turned around, I saw Rogelio look at me and smile gently.

I stood up unwittingly as a way to ease the embarrassment, and asked Xenia, "how did you get out?"

"Hey, are you not happy that I come out? I want to tell you that it's twelve o'clock. It's getting late and it's getting dark outside. I'm afraid and you have to go to the toilet with me. "

I walked out of the room together with Xenia. I couldn't help but scold her the moment I stepped out of the room. "Can you think about it before you speak?"

But Xenia raised her voice deliberately, "I'm not talking nonsense."
