Can't Hate You

" Yes, now I'm fine" said Elin, trying to resuscitate her consciousness, which was almost floated by the masculine scent of David's body.

" Are you guys going to stay that way" said Jamie, making the two humans both foggy and embarrassed at the same time, "is there anything else I can do ? " ask Elin trying to shift her embarrassment.

" Sit down, you're so tired today "

" No bi, I'm so happy to do it " said Elin smiled, " sit down son, you can chat with David " said Jamie made Elin's eyes glanced at the young man and re-twisted his eyeballs when he saw the man's eyes were also looking at him.

" How is the office today ? " ask Elin , trying to start the conversation with David , "good enough, but Love is so not excited because you are not "said David while opening his work shirt , making the face of Elin who was looking red instantly.

" Aunty, I want to change my clothes " cried David because Jamie is no longer visible where he is.

" Look for your clothes in the usual place "reply Jamie and David can be seen walking straight to the room where Elin slept last night ,

and before long he'd been out in such casual clothes, "are uncle Larry and aunt Jamie your brothers ? " ask Elin who saw David so close to the couple.

" Even I have considered them more than that "said David while walking towards the sofa and turn on the television, the man was seen so freely with objects that were in Jamie's house.

" What is your relationship with them ? " ask David to Elin.

" I just. I.."

" He was also my name "said Jamie who dahtah since when he was back there ," but I never knew with him " said David with two eyebrows intertwined.

" I'm no one David, I'm just a lucky guy for having met Larry's uncle and aunt "obviously Elin smiled, "but you're no longer someone else to me " timpal Jamie's fast.

" I'm aunty too, since we first met I've considered uncle and aunt to be my family "

" You look at David, she's so beautiful and so polite" said Jamie showing his admiration for Elin, "you're so overrated bi "

" No, even this is the first time I've met a woman like you " explained Jamie, "I think David would be a stupid man if he didn't like you" he said , it made Elin's eyes slightly rounded and David refrained from shouting because he was so ashamed of Jamie's words.

" Am I so late" said someone who had just arrived, "uncle "call Elin so surprised at Larry's presence.

" How are you doing, son ? " ask Larry who is now hugging David's body, "very good, sorry I just came today " david said he felt so guilty because usually he would come right on the birthday of his best friend who was none other than the daughter of Larry and Jamie.

" It's okay son, we understand you're so busy "said Larry smiled.

" I'm really happy you're still here, miss "he told Elin.

" Uncle why did you come home so soon ? " ask Elin , because it was still so late afternoon while last night she met when the middle-aged man was at work, "uncle could not have missed this" explains Larry , ' said , it was confusing for Elin.

" What are your plans for today, baby ? " ask Larry on his wife.

" I want us to throw a barbeqeu party "say Jamie who seems busy with groceries, "David help your uncle prepare the roasting and Elin help auntie make barbeque sauce " pinta Jamie and everyone else already seem busy with their respective duties, "You know Elin, today's aunt is so happy" said Jamie suddenly , Elin, who was busy helping her slow down a bit to listen to the woman's conversation, "yes, your face is able to explain it" Elin said.

" He looks so close to you guys, I even thought he was your son "

" He was like my son "said Jamie, "he kept us company after Alessa left, when he was just my little princess's best friend , but he kept coming here to see how we were both even treating us like his parents "obviously Jamie, making Elin turn her eyes towards David who was still busy with his work with Larry ,

" i'm sorry I was so presumptuous, but can I know what happened to your daughter ? " ask Elin who has been so curious since yesterday ,

" i'm sorry bi, you don't have to force me to tell you " she continued when I saw Jamie sighing so heavily, "My poor girl " said Jamie who once again looks to sigh, "do not continue if it will only hurt your heart bi " said Elin hugging the cross body of the middle-aged woman.

" I've accepted it son " said Jamie smiling but couldn't hide the sad look in his eyes, "He's a victim of a hit-and-run "clearly short Jamie but able to make Elin so surprised.

" he's been around for so long to stay with us and until finally he gives up " Jamie continued, rubbing the corner of his eye, "believe me he's been happy in his current place " elin tries to calm Jamie down.

" Yes, he did look happy when he left us, and I know, during that time he had been so difficult to endure "the next and was no longer able to hide his tears , " I'm sorry " said Jamie feeling so embarrassed.

" You don't have to cover up your grief bi, everyone knows, you're very difficult through it "

" Yes, it even makes me so down and forget about my own life, but your uncle was so patient to keep me company and ended up making me think that I wasn't living for myself "

"You're so lucky to have it "

" One day you will also find someone lucky to have you" said Jamie, making Elin smile and sigh at the same time.

His brain recalled the face of someone who had hurt his heart, but it was not enough to make him not miss the man.

" After what happened, I still can't hate you "he murmured.

" Everything is ready" Larry approached the two women and broke Elin's daydream.

" Let's "take Jamie and Elin follow her to the back garden .

" You juggled this uncle ? " question Elin stared so amazed at the beautifully hanging lanterns, the carpet that was lazed over the clumps and the ready-to-use roasting , it looks so perfect for a small event that was just planned.

" It wasn't the uncle who made it but David "clearly Larry pointed to the man who was still busy hanging the rest of the lanterns.

" Aren't you aware of Larry, your son looks so excited today "tease Jamie while glancing at Elin.

" You're great" said Elin, drawing closer to David with a smile so sweet and pointing both thumbs at him, while David's eyes were stunned at the woman's sweet smile, "I love lanterns so much " said Elin who kept staring in awe at the row of lights hanging.

" You like this ? " ask David with the two eyebrows slightly interlocked because it looks so simple but the woman sees it as if she is looking at the Eiffel Tower tower, "you are so funny " said David who involuntarily smiled, because he looked at the strange woman in front of him but also looked awesome.
