When we arrived at my home it was empty.
"Josh!" I shouted.
"What's wrong?" Lexie asked following me.
"My boyfriend..." I said quickly going the stairs up. "He should be at home!"
"Your boyfriend? I thought..." Lexie muttered.
"What did you think?" I turned to her for short.
"Anyway!" Lexie shook her head. "So what's wrong with your boyfriend?"
"He is... How to say... He has amnesia and is unstable..."
"Do you mean... He is mentally sick?"
"No..." I shook my head rushing to our bedroom.
The bed was empty. I stood for a while thinking where he should be at this time. It was already 3:00 a:m. "Avani..." It was the first thought what came to me. Suddenly I felt the anger.
"Witch..." I muttered.
"What?" I heard Lexie's voice.
"Nothing, dear..." I shook my head. "Let's go... Do you want to eat something, to drink some tea or should I make a drink for you?" I turned to Lexie when left the bedroom.
"Oh, no... Thanks!" Lexie smiled widely. "Let's go outside!"
"OK..."
We went outside and sat down on the one of the pools near my home.
"You're looking very worried and upset..." Lexie looked at me.
Yeah, I really was and couldn't hide it.
"Do you feel bad for your boyfriend?"
"Yes... We argued... Now I am feeling guilty... If something wrong happened to him? He is... Like a kid. Anyone can hurt him. But I think... I know where he is..." I sighed.
"Where could he be? With friends... or... Is he cheating on you, Lucien?"
"Maybe... But I can't blame him."
"Shit... It's not right, Lucien!" Lexie exclaimed.
"Josh!" I shouted.
"What's wrong?" Lexie asked following me.

"Shit... It's not right, Lucien!" Lexie exclaimed.
"It's very complicated, Lexie... It's a life..." I looked at her.
"That's bullshit..." She shook her head and yawned. "I feel tired you know..."
"Really? Why didn't you tell me at once?"
"I wasn't tired... The tiredness came... somehow suddenly...." Lexie yawned again.
"Then let's go inside..." I rose to my feet. Lexie followed me.
When we entered house I also felt tired. It seemed me weird.
"You can sleep in any room you want. Feel yourself like at home." I said Lexie.
"OK... Thanks, Lucien..."
I almost didn't see how she went away... I entered the bathroom wanting to use a toilet and felt that I hardly can stand on my feet. My body seemed me too heavy. So after using the toilet I filled up the bath with the water, took off my clothes and got in. I fell into the deep sleep at once when my body got into the cozy warm water.

When I woke up it was already early morning. I couldn't say what time was and how long I slept... I felt so dizzy. I shook my head and went to the sink. It seemed like I'll throw up soon.
"Shit.." I mumbled turning the water on.
Suddenly I remembered that night when Joshua lost his memory. I felt the same and now it was even worse than that night. I washed my face with cold water and went the upstairs on the roof, jumped in the hot tube for short. Then I thought of Lexie. She was my guest. What if something wrong happened to her? "Oh, no..." I got out from the hot tube and rushed the stairs down. My legs didn't want to obey me, my stomach made me stop. I threw up straight on the floor.
"My Watcher..." I mumbled grabbing with hand by the wall and staggered to bathroom to wash my mouth. I've never been sick, so to feel like this... It was more than weird. I tried to breath deep and slow, after few minutes I felt better and finally could walk although my feet were still like rubber.
"Lucien?!" I heard Lexie's voice.
I found her sitting at the computer in one of the rooms.
"Yes, Lexie! Good morning!"
"Good morning!" Lexie looked at me carefully. " You look pale a bit. Are you OK?"
"Yeah... I think I ate something wrong..." I nodded. "But now I'm better. And you? All is fine?"
"Well... I still feel tired... and a bit dizzy as if I had hangover..."
"Should I check the bar?" I joked.
"Shit.." I mumbled turning the water on.

"I think I didn't drink everything yet", she chuckled playfully and looked at the screen. "Look... Someone is disappeared in Newcrest again!"
"What do you mean?"
"I read the news... It's already a third time..."
"Oh, it happens often!" I said. "Cops always have what to do."
"I think it's weird... Because people disappear and then they return not knowing almost anything, even their own names."
"Hmmm..." Lexie's words made me to think. I thought about Joshua, but can it be that Joshua's amnesia is somehow related to these events? I wanted to doubt in that.

"Well... And your boyfriend? Did he come back home?" Lexie turned to me.
"No..." I shook my head. "If he would be here he would come. Joshua is very curious..." I smiled.
"Really?" Lexie smiled. "Maybe it's good that he's not here, because I would be jealous..."
"Why?"
"Because he has such handsome and great boyfriend like you..." Lexie blushed biting her own lip.
I laughed softly.
"Are you flirting with me?" I asked her with a flirty voice. "Whether is just a compliment?"
"No..." I shook my head. "If he would be here he would come. Joshua is very curious..." I smiled.

"Both..." Lexie said looking straight at my eyes.
"Oh, girl... Be careful..." I said looking at her feeling how the pheromones fill the the whole room.
"Why should I be careful?"
"Don't play with me... I don't want to make us both regret and ruin our friendship..."
"Why should I be careful?"
"Don't play with me... I don't want to make us both regret and ruin our friendship..."
She was too beautiful and I was too lonely. Ascetic life wasn't for me, so while my mind wasn't under control of the passion I turned and went to the kitchen. I couldn't stand her look at me although I enjoyed how her glance strokes my bared body. But it wasn't right. Lexie was my good friend. I didn't want to use her, I neither wanted to betray Joshua if even he dated Avani. If even he was with her at this time.
I gave a deep sigh, opened the refrigerator and took the leftover of the lunch I prepared yesterday.
"Lucien..." I heard Lexie's voice.
I turned my face. She stood in the doorway and looked at me.
"Sorry..." She said. "I... It's just because... Anyway." She smiled and shook her head. "I have to go home."
"OK..." I nodded. "Do you need taxi?"
"No... The morning is great, so I will go on foot."
"Cool..."
"Yeah... See you soon, Lucien..." She smiled turning away and went staying me alone with my thoughts.
And they weren't funny.
