After two hours Dizzy and May arrived from the school and woke Lina up.
"Lina! I heard about you and Slayer. How fortunate that Testament showed up there." May said with worry in her voice and then smiled excitedly;"Dizzy told me that he is a gear too, did he fight with Slayer?"
"No, Slayer took off because of the sunlight. He is a vampire, so sun rays could kill him." Lina answered with a yawn, rising from the couch. "Oh, Lina, I forgot to tell you earlier. I invited Testament to dinner today and to stay as long as he finds own apartment… I hope its OK with you? He had decided to move closer to me, and is trying to find some good house or apartment nearby." Dizzy asked and Lina gaped at her for a second but put a smile on her face right after;" Of course, it's nice for you to spend more time together. And well, there is the guestroom always empty, and I think this house is big enough for four people to live in."
After about of half hour the doorbell rang and May went to open it. Testament came in, and Lina watched the man entering their home. Testament placed his scythe against the wall, giving it a soft caress before parting with it. Lina tried not to stare too much, but couldn't ignore the fact that Testament really was one hot and sexiest guy she had ever seen in her whole life. She thanked some greater powers that Gears couldn't read other beings thoughts. At least she had never heard that they could. She straightened up and decided to cool her thoughts and try to act as an adult should.
"Want to have a brief tour around the house? I heard you will be staying with us for some time."Lina asked and Testament seemed to be a little embarrassed;"Sure, if it is OK with you? I could go to some hotel too but... well... I don't get to spend time with my little sister so much. And it would be rather expensive to stay long in any hotel."
"I understand. It's totally fine if you stay here. Come on in, and welcome." Lina said with a smile and began the tour.
"OK, here's our living room. And there's toilet... and kitchen and that door leads to the basement. Then we can go upstairs..." Lina showed around, and started climbing the stairs arriving to the second-floor. "There's bigger toilet with shower room and here's my bedroom and there's Dizzy's and May's room. We have this one room for guests, so you can have it. Feel free to be like in your home." Lina said with a smile. Testament looked around the guestroom, and nodded; "Thanks, I'm sure I will feel like home in here. You have a very beautiful house.""Good to know that you like it. You can unpack all your stuff in this room, take a shower or just hang around. I'm going to order some pizza for dinner. Do you have any allergies or something I should know about?"
"No, everything goes." Testament answered, and Lina nodded; "OK then." She turned around, intending to go downstairs but was stopped by a touch of Testament's hand on her arm. It was placed there gently and lightly, yet it was enough for her to stop immediately.
"I really want to thank you for taking care of Dizzy… I am very grateful for what you've done. There aren't enough words to describe my gratefulness." he said looking deep into her eyes and Lina felt a wave of hotness overcoming her; "Oh… Really, it's fine. As I said, she's like family to me." She felt really odd, like Testament's hand would have really been sending some kind of warm vibes. She also find herself staring in the man's eyes, trying to decide with shade they were. Like two rubies.
Testament let go of her arm and nodded; "Yeah, but I just.. I would like to do something for you, maybe I could help with some tasks. Or something." The warmth was gone and she snapped out of the haze she felt being in. "Well.. Uh.. can you do any house chords?" Lina asked and Testament nodded thoughtfully; "I think I'll manage. What you have in mind?"
"Actually, you could clean that huge window at the living room. Dizzy is supposed to clean it today. It's almost impossible to do alone, and Dizzy had difficulties in hovering and cleaning neatly it at the same time… You could help her out." Lina told and Testament nodded; "That sounds great, give me a yell when you need me downstairs."
Lina went downstairs and ordered four big pizzas. They should be delivered in an hour, just in time for Dizzy and Testament to get the window cleaned up. "OK, it's time to cleanup!" she yelled at Testament, who soon came down to living room.
Dizzy went to fetch one bucket of hot water with cleanup liquid in it, and a sponge. She stood on the ladders, and Testament held the bucket for her. The job was done pretty quickly and the result was good-looking. "Thanks, now it's finally fully clean again." Lina beamed and admired the shining window. And just after that, the doorbell rang and pizza's arrived.
They ate the dinner with a good appetite and Lina proceeded nicely without any specific staring. Testament and Dizzy went to couch and watched some horror movie with a smile on their faces while May and Lina washed the dishes. Lina couldn't help it, her gaze traveled all the time to Testament's direction. //I'm so stupid… I can't let myself to fall for someone like him… besides I've heard from Diz that he hates humans the most… Wait a minute. "Fall for him"? Geez, I think there was something wrong with my pizza. I'm hallucinating, or something.//
"I knew it!" May bounced and Lina looked at the girl;" You knew what?" May smirked evilly and cooed;"Oh well… I was little confused when I tried to figure out your behavior this evening. You know what I mean, you have been checking Testament out pretty often! Although you try to hide it." Lina did her best not to blush but her cheeks turned to pink and after every second they became redder until reaching shade of crimson. "You like him!" May giggled quietly and Lina gave out innocent and sincere laughter;"Oh come on, don't be silly. S-since when have I've been going for Gear men, hmm?" Lina got her expression to serious one, and her blush started to vanish. May always teased her about which boy she liked, and she never blushed this much. Gladly May took the bait and thought that Lina wasn't interested. And she really wasn't interested. Or was she?
"Oh bummer. I thought you would be drooling after him. Then it's got to be Ky!"May beamed and Lina just gave sheepish smile as an answer.
When she turned her gaze away, the look in her eyes was confused, and somehow a bit sad //..Was May right about Testament? I know I think he is gorgeous and well, sexy. But does that mean that I.. Do I have some feelings for.. Nah, it can't be. No way. Better to go to get some sleep, I'm probably just in some kind of shock or something for what happened in the morning.//
