Chapter 2
Her POV
"Oh my God" I said feeling embarrassed,i quickly pick up the blanket wrapping it around my body even if its of no use anymore, he already saw everything.
I felt badly embarrassed..
"I'm so sorry,i thought you were hurt and needed help,that was the reason i had turned,i didn't know the blanket had slipped away from your body" He said and i saw sincerity in his cute eyes.
"It's okay" I said and walked back to the bed sitting on it. The damn pee that made all this happened has flew away...Gosh ! this guy saw the whole thing.
"I'm so sorry" He apologised again and i nodded.
We heard the door open and a pretty young lady came in carrying two full shopping bags.
Her hair is black and shiny,styled in a bob,her eyes are big and brown,her nose is just perfect like this guy's, her lips is small and pink.. She's beautiful plus she has an amazing figure.
She must be his sis.
"Oh my God, you are awake" She said walking towards me..how are you feeling now ?" She asked.
"Better" I replied slowly.
"I brewed some coffee for her and i think it helped a bit" The guy said and the lady nodded winking at him.
"Okay what's your name ?" She asked.
"My name" I said.
"Yes your name" She said.
"my name? i don't know my name" I said.
"You mean you don't know your name ?" She asked.
"Yes i don't remember my name" I said trying hard to remember but i couldn't and instead the headache increased.
"Wow ! She exclaimed "Where did you come from? " She asked.
"I don't know,i can't remember that either " I said.
"Really ?" She asked.
"Yes, i can't remember anything before now, what's happening to me ?" I asked worriedly.
They both glanced at eachother.
The more i'm trying to remember,the more the headache increases.
"Mig she's got Amnesia" She told her brother with a sad expression.
"Amnesia !" Mig exclaimed.
"Amnesia ?" I thought within.
"Yes your memory has been lost,you won't be able to remember anything from the past for some period of time" She said and my heart dropped.
"That's pretty bad" Mig sighed.
"Yes it is. And also we didn't find any means of identification on you" The lady said.
I tried holding back the tears that was threatening to flow out but i couldn't,it rolled down to my cheeks...continuously.
Why can't i remember a thing?
What if my family are out there,worried about me.
Do i even have a family?
"Hey it's okay,you don't need to cry" The lady said cleaning my tears with her thumb.
"I can't remember anything not even my own name,for how long will this continue,where will i even stay till then. How am i gonna survive" I said in tears.
They both looked at me with pity and i cried more,my head throbbing terribly.
"No you don't have to pity me,i will find my way" I said even if there is no way i could find.
"No..you will stay here with us for the mean time till you regain your memory" She said and i looked up with surprise..
"Yes you can stay here with us okay?" Mig said.
"You mean you will both accommodate me without even knowing where i come from ?" I asked with surprise.
"Ofcourse, we cant leave you to go out to the streets" She said.
"Thanks so much" I said with excitement..."Thank you, thank you" I said with a smile..
"You are welcome" They both said smiling back at me.
"Don't force yourself to remember anything cos it's gonna make your head throb with pain,just be free and the memories will come steadily ok?" Fleur said and i nodded.
"So...Let's start the introduction ; I'm fleur and this is Miguel my elder brother,we stay in this house alone,i'm a nurse and i work in the hospital not so far from here,Miguel takes care of the horses in the stable and also goes to work once in a while..He's lazy yunno" She teased and i chuckled..Mig shot her a playful glare and she laughed.
"Thanks Fleur,thanks mig" I said and they both nodded..
"You will get to know more about us as time goes on" Mig said.
"Now you need to take a warm bath and also eat a hot meal,i bought some soup ingredient along with clothes for you,so while you have your bath,i will be in the kitchen preparing the soup" Fleur said with a smile.
"Thanks Fleur" I said.
"Ok but first i need to change your bandage,it's soaked" She said.
"Bandage ?" I asked and scan my body but couldn't find any bandage.
"Yes you have a deep cut on your head and i'm afraid it will take long to heal" She said and i gasp.
I touched my head and truly,there is a bandage,i now realise why my head aches badly..I exhaled.
"My bad" Fleur said.."we have to give you a name"
"Do you like Elva ?" She asked.
"No Diana is better" Mig said.
"No Elva sounds more cool" Fleur said.
"No it's Diana"
"No it's Elva"
" Diana is better"
" Elva is more better"
"she's gonna be called Diana"
"She's gonna be called Elva"....
They kept arguing and i couldn't help but smile.
"Okay let her choose herself" Fleur said and they both faced me,my heart skipped a beat.
I don't want to offend Mig neither Fleur, but i think i like Elva better.
"Hmm..I like Elva more" I found myself saying giving Mig an apologetic look..Fleur squealed around and stuck out her tongue at Mig..Mig shrugged.
"I'm not surprised she like the name you offered because you are both females " Mig said and i'm glad he isn't offended.
"Okay Elva you will be called then" Fleur said and we both smiled..She walked to a drawer,opened it and brought out a white square box,i saw FIRST AID BOX inscribed on it,she walked back to the bed, placed the box on the bedside table.
"I will leave you both to it,i have some laundry to do" Mig said.
"Okay bro" Fleur said opening the first aid box..Mig walked out.
She wore her gloves before loosening the bandage on my head,she folded it neatly and placed it on a transparent board,it's soaked with blood.
She brought out an antiseptic followed by cotton wool.
She took some cotton wool and used it to clean the sides of the wound,she disposed the stained wool and took a new one,she applied some antiseptic on it,then placed it on the wound.
I winced in pain..."Sorry Elva" Fleur said and i nodded.
She rolled out a clean bandage and placed it round my head severally before clipping it.
I sigh in relief after she's done "Thanks fleur" I said and she nodded.
She packed her tools back into the first aid box before locking it firmly,she took it back to the drawer and walked back to me.
She dropped the used bandage and cotton wool into a disposable nylon.
"Now have this" She said stretching two shopping bags filled with clothes to me..."Have your bath,dress up then you come to the dining" She said.
"Thanks so much fleur" I said collecting the bags from her.
"It's nothing,i will give you your medications after lunch" She said and i nodded.
"Ok then,i will be in the kitchen and there are two shower caps on the bathroom cabinet,you can use the pink cos it's new,make sure you use it to cover your hair completely so the bandage won't get wet" Fleur said.
"Ok fleur thanks " I said and she nodded walking out of the room.
I poured the content of the bags on the bed and a 'wow' escaped my lips..There are dozens of clothes with underwear and they all looked beautiful.
I checked it out and settled for a black T-shirt with a pair of blue jean,a purple and black underwear.
I removed the blanket from my body and hurried naked to the bathroom with the clothes in hand.
I finished bathing and my body felt more strong and better,i dried my body with the towel i found on the bathroom cabinet,wore the undies before slipping on the T-shirt and jean. The jean fitted me perfectly but the T-shirt is a bit loose,i like it that way.
I removed the shower cap and my hair flowed down to my waist..
Woah..i have a very long hair. I carefully brushed through it with my fingers to avoid touching the bandage.
I'm done.
***
I walked out of the room and entered a short passage,there are four doors and i wonder which door leads to the living room..I stood there deliberating..
"Open the left door" I heard behind me and flinched. I turned around to see Mig.
"Sorry i startled you" He said.
"It's okay" I said staring at him.
"This left door leads to the living room,dining,kitchen and a lot more. This right door leads to my room while the two other doors are the guest rooms" He explained and i nodded. He entered his room and i opened the left door and there is the living room,i walked inside.
It's not very big but it's beautiful, neatly painted in cream and orange ,there are four beautiful couch and the floor is covered in floorboards,there is a big fire place opposite a three-seater couch,a wooden table is placed at the centre of the living room with a beautiful flower vase on it.
An enormous television stationed across the leather recliner,with a medium-sized shelf filled with films.
So simple and beautiful. I like it.
"Elva over here" I heard fleur call and i turned to see a transparent curtain demarcating the living room from the dining room, i walked towards it and open the curtain,a delicious aroma filled my nostrils..I'm standing in the dining room which has six chairs and a centre table covered in a floral table-cloth..I looked across and there is the kitchen,fleur is coming out with three bowls of steaming home-made soup in a tray,she smiled as she saw me and i smiled back...
She placed the bowls of soup on the table,i saw some other things on the table to eat with the soup
i felt my stomach rumble and my throat tingle.
"Have your sit Elva,and besides you look good" Fleur said and i sat smiling.
"Thanks" I said.
"Mig,lunch is ready" Fleur called loudly and i heard heavy footsteps coming towards the dining room,the curtain opened and Mig came in,he took a sit opposite mine while fleur sat beside me..
We started eating in silence and i kept wondering if i'm making them uncomfortable..I mean it seems weird to suddenly have a new person in the house..
Anyway the soup is delicious and i can't help but rush it..
***
We finished eating,and i said 'thanks' to them..Mig nodded ,stood up and left the dining..Fleur stood up and started packing the empty and uncleaned dishes, she's going to wash it,i can't let her do that..I have to help.
"I will wash the dishes" I said, wanting to collect it from her but she didn't give it to me..
"No Elva,just go sit at the living room,i will come join you soon" She said and i shook my head.
"Just leave the dishes to me,i will wash it" I said.
"No you are not very strong for this" She said.
"No i feel strong,please just allow me wash the dishes" I said...But it doesn't seem she's going to give in..."Just to exercise my numb bones" I added and she sighed..
"You sure know how to persist" She said and i smiled.
"Ok" She said and my smile widened.."But" She added.
"What ?" I asked.
"I'm not going to let you wash the dishes alone,we are washing it together" She said.
"Ok fleur" I said and collected the unclean dishes from her,i headed to the kitchen.
She packed the remaining ones and came to join me..
The kitchen as well as other part of the house also is wide and beautiful.
We finished washing the dishes and dried our hands on a clean kitchen towel.
"Come with me,let me show you round the house" Fleur said and i nodded following her.
I feel happy that i got a beautiful place to call home and also with the nicest people I've ever met.
Well..i don't know if they are the nicest people I've ever met..since i can't even remember anything or anyone.
Well...I owe them a lot...
Chapter 3
Mig's POV
I sat on the couch in the living room after lunch, Fleur is outside with Elva showing her round the house.
My mind flew back to when i saw her unclad...I cant seem to get the image off my mind..Her body is thick and beautiful with alluring curves.
I kept stealing glances at her while we were eating lunch, her boobs pushed against the T-shirt.
Even the jeans fits her like second skin.
Her shape is just overwhelming..
Of course he should stop this ! She's a stranger for goodness sake. but he couldn't just stop thinking about it.
I slapped the remote control on my head and kept mumbling.
"Mig" I heard Fleur call interrupting my thoughts. I turned and saw Fleur and Elva standing behind me...
"Elva wants to borrow your favourite novel,She read the summary in the library and said she will like to read the entire novel so i brought her here to ask for your permission..Can she take it?" Fleur asked..
That's my favourite novel but i have no choice here not when Elva is using those cute eyes to plead with me..
"Please bro,i know it's your favourite but just borrow her for some days" Fleur said and i nodded..
Elva shifted behind her and i wondered if she's shy to ask me herself.
"Ok but please make sure it doesn't get torn" I said and a smile lit up on her face.
"Thanks Mig" Elva said.
"You are welcome and trust me you are gonna enjoy it" I said and her smile widened.
"Come Elva, i have to show you to your room before i leave for work" Fleur said.
"That..room..i was..in.." Elva mumbled.
"Oh..That's my room,i just thought you may like your privacy,that was why i decided to give you another room but we can stay together in mine if you want" Fleur said.
"No its okay,i will stay in the other room you've prepared for me" Elva said.."But the clothes are still in your room" She added.
"Okay let's go pack the clothes to your room" Fleur said and they both walked away..Fleur is leading the way while Elva is at the back,i kept staring at her back till they cornered into the passage.
"Mig get a grip of yourself" I mumbled slapping the remote control on my head..
"Ouch...It hurts".
Elva's POV
I laid on the soft bed in my new room after Fleur had shown me round the house.
She has left for work,saying she's on afternoon shift.
My room is as big as fleur's,it has a one-sitter couch beside a little shelf,there is a fireplace opposite the bed and also a bedside table with a table lamp on it,the floor is covered in floorboards,virtually all the floors in the house are covered in floorboards..
I've checked the bathroom and it looks just fine.
This house is big,i kept staring in surprise when Fleur was showing me around..It's big and beautiful with clean surroundings,she showed me the stable and i saw their two horses,she also showed me the farmhouse.
But what interested me most is the Library,there are tons of novels in there and i had this urge to read them all.
Do i read novels before ? i asked myself but how would i know.
The first novel that caught my fantasy was Mig's favorite novel..The summary really gat me and i yearn to read it..
I stared at it in my hand and smiled,i'm glad he agreed to give me.
I positioned the pillow comfortably beneath my head and began reading.
**
"Oh my God..to hell with Nicky,for embarrassing Elara on her first day in school,this seems more interesting than i thought..
I heard a knock on the door and stood up from the bed,i slipped my feet into the bunny slippers Fleur gave me and walked to the door.
I opened it and saw Mig standing there.
"Hmm..I was thinking if you will like to watch a movie with me" He said..
Ohhh...I badly want to continue reading the novel but i can't turn him down not when he's been nice.
"Ok i would love to" I said and he smiled..I closed the door and followed him to the living room..
I saw some biscuits in a wide plate with two cups of chilled orange juice,i sat on the couch while he went to switch on the tv and insert the disk into the DvD player..
"It's a Kdrama,i purchased it when i went to the city" He said walking back to me,he sat on the couch beside me.
"City ?" I asked
"Yes we are in the countryside of Australia,Fraser island to be precise " He said.
"Ohhh" I said.
"Countryside is a beautiful place to live,the only disadvantage is power supply,the power is supplied once in a while but with the fresh air including the fresh and natural things you will see around,you won't even notice there is no power supply" Mig said..
"Really ?" I asked.
"Ofcourse" He said.
'Where do i also stay before..Is it in the countryside or city' I thought but couldn't remember.
'Gosh why can't i just remember a thing' I thought furiously..
"I believe the floor is the best place to sit or lay while watching a movie,so should we ?" Mig asked.
"Ofcourse" I said and we both slid to the floor and began watching the movie,crunching the biscuit and sipping the juice.
***
"I'm home" We heard and turned to the door.
It's Fleur holding two full big Nylons.
"Welcome Fleur" I said standing up to meet her.
"Welcome sis" Mig said.
"Thanks guys" Fleur said.
"Elva come with me,i need to show you some things" Fleur said.
"Mig can you please pause the movie,i will be right back" I said.
"Okay" He said.
"Thank you" I said and followed Fleur to her room..
We entered her room and she handed a nylon bag to me..
"Fleur the clothes you bought for me is okay for now" I said feeling like a burden already.
"No, Elva. I should have bought you more in the morning if i know you will be staying here,just accept it okay? you really need it" She said and i collected the nylon bag from her.
"Thanks so much fleur" I said.
"It's nothing" She said.."And take this" She said stretching a smaller nylon bag to me, i collected it with a "thanks"..
"It contains some sanitary pads,i hope you didn't forget how to use it?" She asked..
"No thanks so much fleur" I said.
"It's okay,if you need anything just let me know ok" She said and i nodded,i couldn't resist the urge to pull her into a hug.
Is this how nice people are?
How can these people be so nice to a stranger they overnight..
Fleur is nice and caring,the perfect definition of a nurse..
I hugged her and sobbed quietly on her shoulder.
"It's okay Elva,i understand...Don't cry okay" Fleur said and i nodded pulling away from the hug.
"Thanks so much fleur" I said.
"It's nothing..Now go meet Mig,you are keeping him waiting" She said and i nodded,thanked her once more before leaving her room.
I walked inside my room,dropped the clothes in the cupboard,the sanitary pads in the shelf before hurrying back to meet Mig.
I entered the living room and met him patiently waiting.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting Mig" I said sitting on the floor beside him.
"It's fine" He smiled and we resumed watching.
But my mind kept drifting to the novel i was reading,i can't wait to finish watching this movie..I need to go and read what Nicky did to Elara at the cafeteria.
**
We finished watching the movie and i said thanks to Mig,i stood up about going to continue the novel when i heard sounds from the kitchen.
"Is someone in the kitchen ?" I asked Mig.
"Yes it's Fleur,she's about preparing dinner" He said..
"Wow i didn't know it's evening already" I said and went to join Fleur in the kitchen..
We finished eating dinner,Fleur and i washed the dishes and we all sat in the living room and watched another Kdrama for a couple of hours.
I started yawning and was already half asleep on the couch when Fleur woke me up to go to my room.
We exchanged 'goodnights'
......
I landed on my bed immediately i entered my room and fell into a dreamless sleep..
Chapter 4
Fleur's POV
I yawned opening my eyes at the sound of the alarm,i slipped the blanket away from my body and sat up. I switched off the alarm,got to my feet and wore my flip-flop before heading to the bathroom.
I'm on morning shift,i have to get to work before 9am,i got to the bathroom,pulled off my pyjamas and placed it on the sink,i have to get pyjamas for Elva soon" I thought putting on my shower cap,i got under the shower with sponge and soap in hand.
*
I took a towel from the cabinet after i was done bathing and tied it firmly around my body.
'Plus a towel for Elva' I thought.
I walked over to the sink to brush my teeth...I finished brushing and hurried back to my the room,i opened the wardrobe and brought out a cream armless gown with a belt,i opened the drawer and selected my undies and then walked back to the bed,i laid the clothes on the bed,dried my body and applied body lotion.
I started getting dressed and in few minutes,i was done.
I picked a pair of black shoes and quickly slide my feet into it.
I brushed my hair and applied hair lotion, carried a black shoulder bag,adjusted my dress once more before walking out of my room.
I knocked on Elva's door but there was no response,i knocked severally..no response.
'Or could she be in the living room' I thought.
I peeped inside her room and saw her on the bed still asleep with a novel on her chest. I walked in heading towards her. She's still in her yesterday's outfit..I gotta get her a pyjamas today.
I wouldn't have liked to disturb her but i have to tell her something.
I tapped her shoulder twice and i saw her lashes bat. She's opening her eyes.
Elva's POV
I opened my eyes at the taps on my shoulder.
*Yawns*
It's Fleur..she's dressed for work.
"Good morning Fleur" I greeted,sitting up.
"Morning Elva,hope you slept well ?" She asked.
"Yes Fleur, thanks" I said.
"I didn't wish to disturb you but i just want to tell you that you can microwave yesterday's leftover cause i'm running late now,i won't be able to make breakfast" She said.
"Okay i will" I said
"Bye i will be back by afternoon" She said walking towards the door.
"Bye" I said.
"Arrrgh" I groaned and fell back to the bed,i felt like having more sleep but it's damn morning.
I got up from the bed and walked to the cupboard,i opened it and a blue blouse with a pair of black shorts caught my eyes,i picked it out. I selected my underwear and walked to the bathroom...
I pulled off the cloth i was wearing and set it aside for laundry,i wore the pink shower cap and got under the shower..
I brushed my teeth and then got dressed right there in the bathroom...I don't know if fleur took my measurement cos the clothe seems perfect on my body like it was made specially for me..
I walked out of my room and headed to the kitchen.
I brought out yesterday's leftover from the fridge,plugged the microwave and slipped in the meal closing it back immediately.
I rested my back on the kitchen counter with my hands folded beneath my breast waiting for the meal to heat up.
I wonder where Mig is
'Should i ask if he wants some ?'..
"I better do" I said and walked out of the kitchen heading to Mig's room,i got there and knocked gently,i was about knocking again when the door opened revealing Mig,his hair looked messy,he was still in his pyjamas...
His appearance didn't even hinder the perfection of his look.
I felt my cheeks heat up as we stared at eachother..I don't know the reason i'm always shy to speak to him.
"Good morning and i'm sorry for disturbing you,the thing is..i'm microwaving the leftover so i came to ask if you care for some" I said.
"Ohh..Sure,i will join you soon" He said and i nodded walking away.
I breathed a sigh of relief as i entered the kitchen.
I switched off the microwave and brought out out the now 'hot meal'..I dished it out in two plates and carried it to the dining room,i went back to the kitchen to get two bottles of water including two glass cups..
I sat down deliberating if to wait for him or not,i decided to wait for few more minutes then if he doesn't show up, i'm gonna start eating..
**
I perceived the scent of shampoo followed by the sound of footsteps,it got louder and bolder as he approached the dining..I know it's Mig without even turning.
He sat opposite me and.. damn!
He looks hot !!
He's putting on a black sweater with grey pants,he looks fresh and clean from bathing and his thick black hair was dripping wet..He licked his lips and i almost shiver.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting" He said and i nodded swallowing hard.
We ate in a strained silence...I was getting uncomfortable with different thoughts running through my mind.
I stood up immediately i scooped the last spoon into my mouth, walk to the kitchen and placed my plate it the sink,i started washing with more effort than i'll normally apply.
I washed and rinsed my plate then placed it in the drainboard,i dried my hands and walked out of the kitchen..
"I will be in my room" I said to Mig at the dining and he replied with a nod.
I felt his gaze on my back as i walked to my room..I opened the door and closed it gently behind me.
I walked to the bed, sat and picked up the novel on the bedside table..
I opened it to the page i stopped, smiled and continued reading..
Mig's POV
Arrrrgh !!
Why does she have to be damn attractive..I mean she's exactly my type, i like ladies who gat more flesh..She's beautiful with nice curves and i found myself staring at her while we were having breakfast, her deep black eyes glistened,her lips looked more pink than it was yesterday,her face is starting to regain it's color.
Her black hair had a gloss to it even without applying hair lotion...and her hair is so long that it spreads on her shoulder down to her waist..
I was about starting up a conversation with her when she stood up went to the kitchen..She left the kitchen and walked back to her room.
And my gaze had of course rested on her back as she walked away..
"Oh..God,get a grip of yourself" I scolded..She's just a stranger who would leave as soon as she regains her memory.
I stood up from the chair, i have to go feed the horses..I took some carrots from the store and got a bucket of clean water then walked to the stable.
I got there and opened the little door,i dropped the carrots and water on one side and i smiled walking towards the horses.
We have two horse in the stable,clea and con which belongs to Fleur and i..Clea is mine while Con is Fleur's.
I rubbed their backs as i got to them and they neighed at me in recognition.
I picked the carrots and started feeding them ,they both chewed on it very fast and i kept feeding them more till there was nothing left...
I placed the bucket of clean water in front of them and they both dipped their mouths into it.
I was about rubbing clea's back when i suddenly heard a loud bang followed by a shout of pain from the house..
"OMG that's Elva,i hope she isn't hurt" I thought, rushing back into the house.
