Nothing I Can Do

with a lace of amusement in her voice. I quickly look away. She laughed.

”W-where am I? ” I asked, my throat dry. She poured a glass of water from a pitcher that was next to me on the bedside table. She helped me sit up and gave me the glass. I nodded my thanks.

”You
e in my house, ” She replied. Damn, this woman. I place the half empty glass back on the bedside table.

”W-where is…? ”

”Hm? ” She asked tilting her head slightly to the side unsure of what Im asking. After a moments pause her face lits up.

”Oh! You mean…! ” She exclaimed. ”I see… ” This damn woman. But just as I was about to cuss her out she replied.

”Shes out right now, ”

”Where did she go? ” I asked.

”Shopping… ” She smiled. I could tell by the way the corner of her lips lifting further upward. She seems to enjoy teasing me.

”Who are you? ”I asked not trying to sound annoyed.

”Hmmmm….. ” She seems to be debating on whether she should tell me or not. ”A friend of a friend. ”

”Tch, ”

I was just about to ask more questions when a sudden wave of exhaustion came over me.

”O-oh… ” I moaned. The room seems to be spinning. Sensing that I was overcome with exhaustion. The woman got up and helped me lay back down. Patting my head in a almost motherly way.

”Rest, ” She said all amusement completely gone. Her voice sounded almost magical. ”Rest. ”

She started humming, patting me as she hummed. It helped drift me off to sleep.
