Chapter 3

(Leon's POV)

"Is this our home?", Kate asked totally in awe of the place.
"Yep, this is the living area, over there is dining area, that's kitchen over there, it leads to basement and laundry room. My study is there and the stairs lead to bedroom and guests room each with attached bathrooms", I pointed out the basic layout of my house.
"Wow, we really are rich. What do you do?", she asked me curiously checking out the place a bit.
"I… I am an Government Agent", I told her the truth.
"Why do you think so much before answering, I mean it feels like you're lying", she said looking back at me, "Anyways where's our bedroom I need to have shower."
"Go upstairs first room, it won't be hard to find since others are always locked", I told her making my way to the living area.

Kate at once ascended up the stairs and I dragged my feet to the couch and flopped on it, 'It went well until now, I don't think it would be much of a problem', I thought closing my eyes relaxing a bit.

"Leon!", Kate yelled from above, "Would you please come here a minute?"
"Coming", I yelled back and hurried over to her, "Yes?", I said opening the bedroom door.
"There's nothing", she said pointing towards the closet, her hair was up in a messy bun and a towel was on her shoulder.
"What? I didn't understand", I said moving further inside.
"There are no clothes", she said looking a little bewildered.
"Huh?", I asked still not getting her.
"Where are my clothes Leon?", she said confused trying to find her clothes among mine, "There's nothing, not even an underwear", she said plainly without showing any line of shyness or anything. She looked at me, "Where are they?", she asked again.
"In the other closet", I answered trying to handle the situation.
"Where? I see no other closet", she said scanning the room.
"It's in the other room", I replied.
"Show me, I am in a desperate need of a shower", she said starting to move out.

"Wait, why don't you go to shower and I'll bring you, your clothes", I suggested and she was about to say something, "The rooms are locked, the keys in the car, the car is outside and is locked too and the keys are lost somewhere I need to find them", I spoke really fast not understanding what I said myself.
"I didn't get anything", she said totally perplexed by whatever I said.
"Go take a shower and I'll bring you clothes, go", I said pushing her into the bathroom.
"But… ", she tried to say something.
"I said I'll bring them, now go shower now", I said persistently and pushed her inside the bathroom closing the door, "Take really, really long time", I yelled and she yelled an okay.

'What do I do? What do I do? Where do I get the clothes when they really don't exist', I thought feeling a little anxious, as I paced up and down, calculating when Kate would come out, 'I am doomed', I again thought helplessly, 'I know… I should buy her new clothes but if I go and she gets out then she would know that we're faking it. If only someone… yes! Claire', I picked up the phone and called Claire.

"Hello?", Claire answered cheerfully as always.
"I need clothes, I need clothes", I could only say.
"Leon? What?", she said sounding confused.
"Kate is in the shower she wants clothes but I don't have any of her clothes please buy her some dress quick and bring it here", I said speaking fast.
"Who's Kate?", she asked dumbly.
"I meant Kathleen you idiot, get her some clothes and that too quick", I emphasized getting a bit nervous.
"Okay got it I am on my way", she said.

"Uh… Claire get her…", I felt a bit embarrassed saying it.
"Get her what, you have some specific demand Kennedy for your wife", she said chuckling on the other end.
"No", I almost yelled, "what I meant was get her everything", I said going back to normal.
"Everything?", she questioned.
"Are you being stupid on purpose Claire, get the under-… things too okay?", I said and disconnected. I had never, ever in my life had been so embarrassed.

"Leon!", Kate yelled from inside the bathroom.
'Oh no is she done already?', I thought dreadfully, "What?", I asked.
"Where's the shampoo?", she asked.
"It should be there, look in the cabinet", I said sighing in relief.
"Got it, thanks!", she replied.

I was desperately looking out the window waiting for Claire when my phone rang and I lunged for it, "Where are you?', I asked panicking a little.
"Don't have time what's her size", she asked in an urgent tone.
"What do you mean?", I asked confused.
"I am in lingerie store, Leon. What's her size?", she asked again in an obvious tone.
"How am I supposed to know, just make a guess and get here before she finishes her shower", I said gritting my teeth in anxiety.
"Okay what do you think B or C", she asked.
"What?!", I asked looking at the bathroom door.
"Her size Leon would it be 36B's or 36C's", Claire asked giggling.
"You're having fun don't you? Look quit joking, I am in serious trouble here", I told her feeling uneasy.
"Look if I won't buy the right size she would know and plus it won't look good on her, so…", she was saying.
"36B, get it", I said and disconnected the phone, feeling even more embarrassed than before.

After fifteen minutes of more patient waiting which felt like an eternity I heard the doorbell ring and I almost ran down the stair taking three steps at a time, "You got it?", I said even before opening the door.
"Now that would be 50$', the pizza boy said and I felt like punching him.
"We didn't order pizza", I said and then after telling him the right address I was about to close the door when I saw Claire's car, she was with Jill.

Claire hurried over to me stifling a laugh, "This is only one pair of clothes, this was all we could manage in so little time", she said trying to pull a serious face.
"You're enjoying it don't you", I asked taking the clothes.
"Sort of and to tell you the truth, she's a hot and sexy size 36C", she said with a playful grin.
"You knew?!", I said going red with embarrassment.
"Yeah she had to remove her clothes for physical examination and we were curious, so we just checked it out. You know, even John could guess her right size and you're…", Claire was saying expressing her disappointment.
"Get going", I said pushing her off my porch.
"Desperate huh?", she said teasing me.
"I'll get you for this", I could only say as I closed the door and hurried upstairs taking out the clothes from the shopping bags and rolling them in a bundle.

'Lingerie is pretty hot and sexy', I couldn't help but notice as I rolled them inside a blue dress, 'My favorite color', I thought again and opened the room door and just then Kate stepped out from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her hot body and she was holding on to it with one hand. And although she was covered properly but still somehow it didn't reduce her appeal, since her long sexy legs were visible.

Kate noticed me and walked angrily towards me, "What's with you I was calling you for ages. Where are my clothes?", she asked getting up close, really close, so close I could feel the heat. I couldn't say anything as my throat felt dry, I just held out the crumbled clothes to her and she took them, "Thanks", she said taking them calming down. She took them and placed them on the bed. She looked at the dress and then looked back at me, "Would you like to help me dressing up?", she asked with a smile and I felt extremely embarrassed, "You behave as if you're seeing me like this for the first time", she added loosening her towel and I hurried out of the room before I could see anything inappropriate.

'Man, she's one hot woman, I don't know how long can I control myself', I thought leaning against the door wiping of the sweat with my hand.

"I am done", Kate yelled after a while, "I know you're out there, why don't you come in", and I stepped inside. She was fully dressed now, and she looked beautiful, "You know you behave like we're just married."
"Everyday feels like the first", I said and to be honest it be the first day of this fake marriage.
"So you didn't find my old clothes?", she asked and I gave her a questioning look wondering how did she figure it out, "the tags, you got new clothes but forgot to cut the tags."
'Shit! How stupid of me', I thought, it be game over soon enough, if I keep making such mistakes.
"Tell me are you my husband or not?", she asked again seriously and I think she would be asking me this every time I make a mistake. Just then the doorbell rang.
"Looks like somebody's on the door, I'll go and check who it is", I said dodging her question.

I wanted to kiss whosoever on the door and when I opened it, I immediately swallowed my words, since it were Claire and John smiling at me more like holding their laughs. I felt like slamming the door on their faces but I resisted the urge to do that. It seemed Claire stopped at John's place, which was just a couple of blocks away, to tell him about the situation and now they both were here so they could laugh at my face now.

"So how is it going?", John asked with his signature grin.
"How does it look like", I said letting them in the house.
"Does the clothes fit her?", Claire asked.
"Look by yourself", I said and yelled to Kate, "Kate, come down John and Claire are here to see you."
"So you gave her a nickname", John said.
"She wanted me to give her one", I told him uninterested in the subject.

"Great! So everything's settled then?", Claire asked all of a sudden.
"I think so", I replied a little confused about the sudden change of topic.
"So did you find Kate's lost luggage then?", John asked.
"My luggage got lost? When?", I heard Kate and I now understood that they were here to support me, sort of and really lifted my mood up a little.
"Oh you forgot everything right. Let me explain, you guys arrived at DC two weeks ago. A little while after that you had an accident and slipped into coma. And a couple of days later you went missing", Claire brilliantly manipulated the truth and beautifully weaved a lie.
"Oh that explains Leon buying me new clothes today", she said buying the well framed story, "You're so sweet", she added giving me a quick hug.

"I know, we'll buy new clothes for you tomorrow", I said with a smile. It really felt good when she hugged me, even though it was for mere fraction of a second.
"Yes and until then use this", Claire said and handed her another shopping bag.
"You brought two?", I blurted out.
"Yes", she said with an amused smile on her face.
"Why didn't you just…", I began as she moved to sit by John's side.
"It was fun", they both chorused together.

"I seriously don't understand what you guys are talking about but I like this dress", Kate said breaking their laughs, "So what would you two like to have in dinner? You'd have dinner with us, right?"
"You can cook?", we all said in astonishment.
"I think so", she said a bit doubtfully.
"What was that 'think'?", I asked concerned.
"You all said it in so much amazement that I doubted myself; I mean I may not cook very well but I know how to cook", she said shrugging.
"Yes, we'll have dinner and I'll have whatever you're best at", John said smiling.
"Me too", Claire said getting a bit excited.
"What about you?", Kate asked looking at me.
"Uh anything would do", I said not getting my hopes too high.
"I don't understand why you have to think to answer any of my questions", Kate said moving towards the kitchen, "I really doubt that you are my husband."

"Looks like you're not doing a good enough work", Claire said in an accusing tone.
"Look its hard to live a relationship you haven't lived before", I argued feeling exhausted.
"Hey the spot you are in is worth fighting for, I fought and lost too even when I have girlfriend", John said possibly trying to make me the pros of the situation.
"Finally things were falling in place in my life and then this happened", I said almost screaming the last part of the sentence and Kate peeked from the kitchen.
"Don't worry you'll get that promotion", John covered up for me and just then Kate got back to her cooking.
"Don't go screaming out like that", Claire scolded me a bit and we shared a moment of silence.

"Do you think it's okay to make her cook", I changed the topic not wanting to discussing the uneasy circumstances I was in now, "I mean what if she doesn't know how but forgot about it. Well you know, I don't want my new house to burn down or anything", I said sitting on one of the loveseats.
"I think she knows how to cook. Becky said in amnesia you forget your memories but you do not forget doing trivial things or any skills you have", Claire said in explanation.
"Does that means that she can still shoot and fight like before?", I asked keeping my voice down.
"Yes, but I think she forgot that she knows that", John answered, "because it is not trivial, is it?"
"I guess it's not", I said looking over at the kitchen.

"So is Ada mad because she showed up?", Claire asked lowering her voice further.
"Yes, a bit", I replied letting out a sigh of distress.
"I don't think it was a bit it was more than that, it seemed that she wanted to kill her", John said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"It's not like that", I defended her.
"I think so too and totally agree with John", Claire said siding with John, "She wasn't happy at all that Kathleen was okay. Ada, maybe she wants to help us but it's like she don't have any morals; if one of us dies in our fight she won't feel any regret, yes it doesn't applies if it's you but even so she could be more social to us since now that she's a part of us."
"Kat wasn't comfortable with us but at least wasn't totally hostile to us", John said and I gave him a sarcastic look, "Okay I admit she threatened to kill all of us but she didn't have something sneaky about her."
"C'mon she's… I mean was just like Ada and we didn't like her until the very end when she decided to take down Wesker all by herself", I said defending Ada, "And you", I referred to Claire, "You like her after she brought Steve back to normal."
"But you liked her from the beginning, didn't you?", John asked with a smile.
"No", I said wondering what makes him think that, "I didn't."

"You didn't… What?", Kate asked bringing some plates with her to set the table I guess.
"I'll help you", Claire said and walked to her.

The two of them got busy with setting plates and having some feminine chat, seemed like Claire enjoyed this amnesiac Kathleen's company. John again started to annoy me as always but I was very good at ignoring his attempt and just concentrated on the news which openly announced about Kate and Ada being found and safe and that we haven't enclosed any details as always.
