David and Rose Stay
“Did you tell them to stay here? Where will they sleep?”
“Come on Idri. Get idea. Tell me where will they sleep?” He squinted at her passing on his own question back to him.
“Did they say they will stay?”
“I texted Rose telling her to stay with David. So yeah, they are going to stay here for the weekend.”
“How about you come to the mansion to stay?”
Her heart starts beating fast. “I want them to stay here with me for the weekend and it is decided.”
He frowns and gives up arguing. He silently starts preparing the lime soda squeezing in the lemon into a small bowl. She looks at his sad face and replies, “We can give them our bedroom and we can sleep in the living room. It will be like camping.”
“Huh? Giving them the room. I can agree to that. Where do we sleep in the living room? There is only one sofa. You cannot sleep on top of you the whole night. You will suffocate.”
Her eyes pops out. She clears her throat, “You keep your dirty thinking to yourself. I have the floor bed set with me. We can place it at the center and sleep. It is big enough to accommodate us both.”
“We will sleep on the floor? Are you sure it is a good idea? What if cockroaches crawl on us?”
She laughs, “There are no cockroaches here. We can sleep. I will kill the cockroach if it comes near you.”
Idri lifts one of his eyebrows, “Says who? The one who jumps off the bed hearing about a rat.”
She pouts at him and ‘Huh’ she says and turns towards her dumplings checking if it is ready already.
