Getting to know you

Marik and Kyana ate dinner silently for the first half. The silence was beginning to annoy Marik.
"So uh, Kyana, how long have you lived here alone?"
"About five years now."
"Do you have any siblings?"
"No.you?"
"I have a sister and a brother sort of."
"What are their names?"
"My sister's name is Ishezu and my brother's Odeon (A/N: Why did they ever change his name to that? It is so close to the word "hate" in Spanish! Rishid/Rashid was better.)
"Oh I see. Tell me about your life in Egypt. What do you do?"
Marik sweatdropped. "Well, I don't really have much to do so I usually go somewhere and observe the surroundings. Occasionally I go to the bazaars."
"Oh that sounds fun. Where do you usually go?"
"You know that park right outside of Cairo?"
"Yes. It's very beautiful there."
"That is my favorite place. Do you go there often?"
"Yes. I go there because it's perfect for watercoloring."
Marik and Kyana finished dinner. "Would you like some dessert? I have many kinds of fruit."
"Whatever you want."
"Ok." Kyana disappeared into the kitchen for a few minutes. She came back with a plate of assorted fruits.
Marik picked up a strawberry. "So is it hard living all by yourself in such a big house?"
"Kind of. I've gotten used to it though. Cleaning up takes a long time though."
Marik and Kyana ate most of the fruit. Kyana cleaned up the table after Marik said he was finished.
"There's lots of rooms upstairs come with me." Kyana took Marik's hand and led him upstairs. "There's many open rooms. Pick one and you can stay there.
Marik chose one with cream walls and a gold ceiling. There was a nice four-poster bed with cream sheets. He closed the door and flopped down.
Kyana really is a nice girl. I wonder what I'd have done if I hadn't met her. I was thinking about suicide a while ago. I don't think that is necessary anymore. The more I think about it, I really am starting to believe I'm falling in love. She is so perfect. She seems like she knows what I've been through. All the pain. Kyana. With that thought in mind, Marik drifted into sleep.
The next morning Marik awoke early. He sat up and hugged his knees to his chest. Maybe there is someone in this world who loves me. Maybe I'm not meant to be alone. Marik sat like that for a few hours until the door creaked open.
"Oh you're awake!"
"Morning Kyana." Marik replied happily.
"How long have you been awake?"
"Oh I don't know, a few hours maybe.I lost track of time."
"Are you hungry? I've made breakfast. I hope you don't mind bread."
"Bread is fine! I'll be right down."
"Ok." Kyana closed the door with a smile. Marik stared at the closed door in awe. Does she like me? Her smile is so beautiful. I guess I really do like her. I wonder why she smiled at me. Marik opened the door an slowly sauntered (A/N: Is that even a word?) down the stairs. He walked over to the kitchen and greeted Kyana. Marik sat down at the table and Kyana brought some fresh bread. The smell was absolutely delicious! Marik sniffed the air and closed his eyes. Kyana broke a piece off and started to munch on it. Marik took a bit of it and took a bite.
"Did you bake this?"
"Yes. Do you like it?"
"It's wonderful! I've never tasted anything like it. You certainly are a good cook."
"Shukrah. (A/N: Shukrah means thank you in ancient Egyptian. I had to add it ^_^) You are too kind."
After both had eaten a sufficient amount of bread, Kyana wondered what to do that day.
"Marik, what do you want to do today? Do you have somewhere you want to go? I should take you back where you live unless that is.you want to stay here. You're very welcome to stay here with me. It's quite lonely all by myself."
"I.but..but..are you sure?" Marik stammered incredulously.
Kyana smiled again. "I'm quite sure."
"Wow..thanks."
"I'm sure we could go to the park today.unless you want to go somewhere else."
"The park sounds very fine to me. Do you want to bring anything?"
"I don't think so. We can just go for a stroll."
"Ok."
