Shun
Alice and I were rushing to our flight, due to the fact neither one of us set the alarm clock last night, and we were now running late. We finally found our gate after a few minutes of frantic searching, and bolted onto the plane with six minutes to spare. Both of us were standing in the aisle, hands on our knees, and bent over trying to catch our breath. A flight attendant walked up behind us, and asked if we wanted him to place our luggage in the overhead compartments. Alice and I both nodded, and were still bent over out of breath.
I told Alice between huffing breaths, "I don't…..remember…..being this….out of shape…oh my god I can't breathe." Alice then said, "Same here…." The same flight attendant came out from the little snack room with two glasses of water for us. "Here. Nobody wants you two passing out and blocking the aisle." We took the water and guzzled it down in a matter of seconds, and handed the empty cups back to the attendant. The intercom then beeped, signaling the plane was about to take off, and we moved our tired legs and took our seats.
We both plopped down in our seats with a oof cause the seats weren't exactly comfortable. The two of us closed our eyes and sighed in unison. We then opened them up and stared at each other, then began laughing. Both of us stopped laughing when the intercom came on with the pilot speaking. "This is your pilot, thanks you for choosing our airlines. We will be taking off any minute now so enjoy your flight."
Just like the last flight, they brought out snacks and put a movie on. Neither me, nor Alice, watched the movie. Instead, we slept the entire flight back to Moscow. I was then woken up by the landing gear of the plane touching down on the runway, and saw Alice was sleeping through the landing. How is she still sleeping! I tapped her shoulder lightly and she looked up at me and yawned. Seriously! She looked around and saw people getting off the plane. "Oh, we've landed already?" I just shook my head and helped unload our luggage from the overhead compartments.
The two of us remembered the layout of the airport from our last flight, and made our way easily, and quickly, to the exit. As soon as we walked outside, we both saw a familiar face. It was Dr. Michaels old friend, Dr. Fredrick. The same guy that came and made a house call for me and Alice when we were sick. He was standing in front of a black BMW and said, "Hey guys. I thought you two would need a ride back home, so I volunteered." Alice ran up to the old family friend, and hugged him. "Thank you so much Mr. Fredrick." He waved his hand and chucked. "Now now. How many times must I tell you, we're like family, so just call me Uncle Will. That is, unless I'm on business." We laughed for a minute before climbing into the car.
Alice and I were sitting in the back on the tan leather interior when "Uncle Will" said, "I'm really sorry about Michaels passing. How are you holding up Alice?" Alice sighed and then said, "I'm doing better now." I remained quiet and only listened to their conversation. "That's good. You know, about a month ago, Michaels took out some kind of policy, and now the house belongs to you and Shun." Both of us looked at him wide eyed and said simultaneously, "What!" We must of said it rather loud because the man swerved a little on the road.
"No need to yell. But yeah. He recently paid off the last of the bills and debt, so the house is completely paid off. And Shun, the reason you're name was placed in ownership of the house is because Michaels saw how strong the bond between you and Alice had become. He basically just wanted you two to have a place to live if something were to happen to him." Me and Alice…..Have a place to live now….. I smiled slightly. Thanks Michaels.
Alice and the elderly man were still talking, and explaining to him how we thought about renting an apartment when we returned. "Well, you two won't have to rent now. Heck, you won't have to pay anything on the house. Michaels made sure that everything was set up if something happened." The car then arrived in the driveway, of what was now, mine and Alice's home. "Look's like we're here. Do you want me to help you guys with your luggage?" We told him there wouldn't be any need, and that we could get it inside. The old man stuck a key in the doorknob, and opened the door.
Alice was the first to enter, and she just stood there looking at the house. "Everything looks the same as when we left." Uncle Will walked up behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "It's strange isn't it? Hey Alice, if you want, I can stay here with you two for a few days if you want some kind of family here." Alice turned to face him and smiled. "Thanks Uncle Will, but I don't think that'll be necessary." He nodded his head in understanding, and said good-bye to us and left. "You sure you don't want him to stay?" She walked over to me and kissed my cheek. "I'm sure. Besides, I've got you, Shun." I smiled and carried the bags and placed them in the owners rooms.

Most of the night was quiet, except when Alice was in the kitchen fixing dinner. The sounds of pots and pans banging into each other rang through the empty house. I was sitting at the table in the kitchen, covering my ears as she pulled out a medium sized saucepan. "Oh quit being dramatic, Shun. It isn't that loud." I replied sarcastically, "What! I cant hear you! It's too loud!" I was then hit in the face with a wet dish rag. "Oh hahaha. Very funny Alice." She rolled her eyes and went back to cooking.
After an hour or so, the meal was ready and she placed two plates at the table, but stopped at looked at where Dr. Michaels used to sit. "It's so strange not having him here anymore." I stood up and hugged her. "Yeah, I know. Even though I wasn't here that long, it seems so empty now. Come, on, we should eat before it gets cold. I'd hate for all your hard work to go to waste." She nodded and sat down across from me. We both finished our food at about the same time, and I took the plates and put them into the dishwasher. I then yawned and told Alice, "I think I'm gunna go on to bed. I'm beat from the flight."
Alice walked over to the sink and got out a bottle of cleaner and said, "Ok. I'm gunna stay down here for a little while and clean up." I knew she'd be ok, and headed up the stairs to my room. I stopped at the top of the stairs, and was able to see Alice still cleaning, then walked into my room. I looked at the bag I packed from the trip, and went ahead and placed everything back into its designated places. As soon as I finished unpacking, Alice walked into my room. "Alice?" She looked like she was about to start crying, so a hurried over to here and wrapped my arms around her. "Shun, I miss him so much." I rubbed her back slowly with my hand and whispered to her, "I know. I actually miss him too." We leaned back enough to look at each other, and then our lips met. Without breaking the kiss, we both walked over to the bed, and flipped the lights out.
