-----Chapter 2: If Only, If Only-----

I felt really sad for Al, I walked away frm him, and h was sobbing. I walked into the laundry room to place some clothes in the dryer, but when I got there Pinklo was already placing them in the dryer.

"See, the whole point of hiring me was so that you can relax." I said while I had a sirmk on my face.

"I like to take breaks of course but if i dont do anything then ill get rusty." Pinklo said. She placed her pipe in her mouth and let out a puff.

"Well you can do what ever you want with the laundry madem, just dont go in the kitchen." I picked up a pile of folded clothes and was about to walk away when Pinklo stopped me.

"I know already." She blurtted out.

"Huh?" I sounded confused but I knew what she was talking about. I let out a brief smile and walked away. I havent seen her all day,but she knows. She knows...

It was late at night when it was time for me too leave.

"Sorry madem, I couldnt cook dinner." I bowed with greace for her to accept my appolies.

"No, thats okay." She leaned close to me,so I bent down,"Just dont tell anyone that I forced you to leave, so I can cook dinner." I nodded my head in agreement and walked to my car.

"Oh," I wispearhed, "I want to clean Winry's room first...If you know what I mean!" I yelled. Pinklo nodded her head also in agreement.

It was the next moning when I parked my car and walked inside at seven o' clock in the morning. I didnt go into Winry's room first because I guessed what I might see. I went into Al's room. He was up, just writting in some notebook.

"Knock!Knock!" I yelled so he would snap back to reallity. Al russlted his papers and pushed them under his bed. I smiled with laughter.

"Im doing your room first, and dont worry...I wont look under your bed." I said. I picked up a duster and dusted his dresser. Pretending he was not even alive.

Al walked out of his room and down stairs. And like I promised, I didnt look under his bed. I walked out of there and walked towards Winry's room. I stared in it. And there was Winry and Ed, once again in the same position. Pinklo broke her promise. So I just walked down stairs to make breakfast. Then I saw Al. I smiled a little nervously.

"I saw." He sounded upset while saying that.

"Its okay." I said with a cheerfull voice. Al stormmed up stairs, "Breakfast is in one hour!" I yelled up stairs.

I wonder why Al loves Winry so much... If only he would notice me.
