"What are you doing here?" Elena finally asked
"..I..I.." She played with her fingers nervously
Elena raised her eyebrows "Are you okay?"
Audrey pressed her lips to a thin line, her head still lowered.
Not wanting to pry again "I'm hungry" she finally said
"I-i would make something for you right away!" Audrey ran to the fridge, she looked at it blankly
"What is it?" It was obvious she didn't know what to cook or... didn't even know how to
Elena chuckled and walked behind her "What are you looking at?"
Startled, the young girl turned "..Ma'am?"
"Where are the others?"
"Asleep" She bit her lips
"Do you know how to cook?"
"Uhmm..." The little girl shook her head
"Noodles? Do you know how to?" Elena thought, noodles was an easy meal to make
Still, she shook her head. This surprised Elena, what really was her background? Not knowing how to make noodles?
Feeling embarrassed "But I can try!"
"Should we?" Elena found this little girl adorable
"Huh..we?"
"Hmmm" Elena went towards the cabinet taking out the noodles "Uhm...can you help bringing out the materials?, I really don't know where they are kept?"
"I-i, you shouldn't be doing this"
Elena held her hand stopping her "I asked you to bring out the pots and all not to stop me from cooking" she said
"Okay..." And together, they both made the meal and enjoyed it together in the kitchen
Elena found out Audrey was the only child. Well, that explains why she couldn't make noodles alone
"You should go to sleep now, its late already" Elena urged her
As she went back upstairs, her eyes drifted to Adrian's door. This time it was slightly opened. Did he go out? She walked to it and peeped her head in...No one was in there.
She walked fully into the room, this time all the lights were on and Adrian wasn't there. Where did he go? She looked at the bedside clock. It was thirty minutes past midnight already...
She should rest, cause his mother, Evelyn had asked her to go somewhere with her tomorrow or today..since it was past midnight already. But, where was Adrian?
A door opened and he stepped out, water dripping from his hair as it flowed down his chest. He had only a towel wrapped around his waist, Elena swallowed hard as she turned her eyes away. So, he was taking a bath?
Adrian stared at her, why was she here? He had gone to take a bath the second time when he couldn't fall asleep "What are you doing here?"
"..I..the door was opened" she stuttered, her cheeks feeling hot. Oh Lord! What was this?
Smiling, he entered into his closet closing the door
She sighed in relief, wait...why was he even taking a bath this late?
She heard a sound and her eyes drifted to the phone on the stool, seems like it was Adrian's phone and he had a message. Then, she remembered, she haven't checked the message he said he sent her but her phone was in her own room...
Turning, she went out...
