Chapter 275

The loud noise woke her up; she rubbed her eyes and pushed the blanket that was covering her and sat up and looked in the direction of the noise. It came from the kitchen; he was cooking; he had dropped something and hence was the noise. She didn't see him but she could hear the noise of cleaning. She continued to look in the direction and within a minute he appeared carrying the broken plate and a garbage can. She couldn't help but laugh at him; He looked very funny with messed up hair, some white stuff that looked like flour covering his nose with a red dot in between looking like a clown. His left sleeve was rolled up to his arms and the left one completely covering his hand. He smiled at her and apologized for waking her up and walked past her to dump everything in the trash. She turned around and looked at him, now with his back facing her; she struggled to control her laughter by covering her mouth with her hands. She waited until he entered the bathroom and she broke into laughter; she laughed so hard water came out of her eyes. He came out from the bathroom, looking clean and nice with both sleeves folded up to his wrist. His face was clean and no flour etc and he had also combed his hair a bit.

Not wanting to embarrass him, she just giggled and got up and concentrated on folding the comforter and tried to push up the bed to make it back into a sofa. He walked over to help her and said, "Sorry! The noise woke you up. Hope you had a good night sleep. Well one good thing came out of it, you are laughing compared to how you were last night. I thing me looking funny had accomplished something" and smiled. She giggled and nodded and walked towards the bathroom to clean herself up. She was surprised to see that there was a disposable single use brush and paste that is usually given in long distance flights laid out for her. She felt that was very thoughtful of him and appreciated him very much. In about ten minutes she had brushed her teeth and freshened herself up and stepped out of the bathroom and walked towards the kitchen. He was cutting something with his back to her and she couldn't help but laugh looking his hind side covered with flower. It clearly covered the sitting area, and was evident that it had formed into a paste, maybe glued onto to his bottom so well; It was even funnier since he had no clue about it and her taken care in cleaning his face and hands. He turned around with an exclamation in his face wondering what was so funny. She tried to tell him but she was so consumed with laugher he could hardly make out what she was trying to say. When she kept starring at his bottom, he realized and ran his fingers only to find out that now his hands were sticky.
