Chapter 11: AIO 8 • THE PILLS
ALEXANDRIA
-------------------------------✒--------------------------------------
" Goodjob Child, we'll continue this later "
I informed Akila before she ran towards her toys.
I must say, the child actually surprised me, the way she pronounced the Irish words, wrote them down and formed minor sentences on her own.
She is indeed; a fast learner.
" Hey Alex?"
She called out and I hummed for her to proceed.
" How were you like as a kid? Did you play with all these dollies?"
With a sigh, I answered her question.
" No "
" Did you play with male toys"
She teased.
" No "
" Did you play dress up? Tea parties?"
" No "
" Did you play outsi-"
" How do you know about all these games Akila?"
I asked quirking my brow.
" Well..Mrs Whiskers told me about them and we played them together before she left "
" Hmm.."
" So what did you play? You can teach me some of your childhood games "
She grinned walking towards me, whilst I pursed my lips thinking of any kids game I might have come across as a child.
Which was quite hard, considering I only played Scrabble, Monopoly, Pool and oh..chess.
My childhood favourite, I haven't played chess in years.
" Well, I didn't play any of those games you mentioned but, I used to play Chess, Monopoly, Pool and Scrabble as a child"
" Those are all huge names"
She scrunched her face.
" Well, you're a big girl for a four year old. Which reminds me, you'll have to start schooling soon "
" I'll attend school?!"
She exclaimed while I nodded.
" Thank you!"
No hugs, no hugs no hugs, no--
She hugged my torso, squeezing the life out of me.
Oh! Mrs Whiskers, what are you teaching this kid.
" You're supposed to hug me back, silly"
Considering that it would be hurtful if I didn't, I patted her back awkwardly and stiffly.
She pulled away and palmed her forehead.
" You don't get much hugs do you?"
She asked and I forced a smile.
" Well, that's gonna change because I'll share much hugs with you, Mrs Whiskers, teddy and..Cotton "
Oh gross, the weird creature.
" Oh yeah! yeah! yeah! I wanted to ask you a question and then I forgot because Mrs Whiskers' meal was delicious and I even dropped my fork while eating and she was like 'don't even think of using that fork again young lady' and I had to change the fork be-"
" Breathe.."
I trailed covering her mouth as she ranted.
" Anyways, where were you last night. You didn't have dinner with I and Mrs Whiskers "
She pouted, folding her arms.
" I had to go retrieve something from my old residence "
I explained to her.
" And yeah! I think you forgot to put these in your drawer. Are you feeling okay?"
She asked handing me my bottle of..sleeping pills.
" I hope you didn't ta-"
" No silly, ofcourse I didn't. I only kept it for you. Are you having a fever? Why do you need these tablets?"
" They are sleeping pills "
I explained taking it from her.
" They make people sleep?"
She asked and I nodded.
" No silly, you sleep like this. Watch"
She climbed onto her bed and rested her head on the pillow.
" See "
My lips twitched upwards. She thinks I don't know that?
" Oh? Really, I never knew "
I lied.
" I know you do. Everyone knows how to sleep. So what do you need them for?"
She scrunched her face.
" I am..Insomniac "
I shrugged.
" What is that? Is it a Disney princess? Are you a Disney princess? Do you have a pretty dress? Oh my goodness! Fairy godmothers are real! Am I a Disney princess? Do I have a fairy godmother? Where is your prince char-"
I covered her mouth once again and she blushed realising that she was just ranting.
" It's far from that Child. It's means that I have a usually abnormal
inability to get enough sleep "
" Oh? I'm sorry. Maybe I can sing you a lullaby. I know you're not a kid but it helps sometimes. Everyone one needs someone to sing them a lullaby and it's really fun I promise. Maybe I could also ask Mrs Whiskers to bring a pacifier for you "
" What?"
