Aslistened to the sound of the shower, she started to think about the guy’s situation and about what she just had done letting him get in her house. She was washing his jeans as he took a shower in the guest’s bathroom, her head was a mess, she knew it was wrong putting a guy she just met in her house but something inside her just made her help him, she felt he wasn’t a bad person but still she didn’t trust him 100%. Whenwas putting his jeans in the dryer she heard some footsteps behind so in a reflex, she punched the guy’s face when he touched her shoulder. _Ouch… what are you? Mike Tyson or something? – he asked rubbing his chin. _Well… no I’m not Mike… and you can’t come like that… you’ve scared me and in reflex I’ve punched you… I’m sorry… - she said trying to hold her laugh. _That’s ok… are my jeans done? – asked passing his hand on his hair letting his face clean. _Not yet… moved away from him ‘cause they were too close. She walked to her living room and he came right after her. _We need to find who you are. – she said sitting on a black arm chair. _Yeah I know… as soon as my jeans are ready I’m gonna leave you so you can get some sleep. _No, I’m gonna take you to the hospital and then we see what’s gonna happen next. _But I don’t know my name… _Yeah… we need to think of a name for you ‘cause I need to stop calling you “you”. _But what I’m gonna say in the hospital? _Since you’re a lucky guy my mate Mark forgot his ID here a few hours ago so, don’t worry about it, I have all in my head. No we could look through some magazines for a name for you. _Fine then. got him by the hand and both went to the laundry space, she opened the closet and got the magazines. _So… what about Alfie? – he asked sitting near the wash machine. _Ewwww….
