Hi!
It's Emma.
My heart soars right now...
Here's why!
Louisa has been inserting herself into my life a lot recently. She's been around at the flat all the time: kicking me out of bed to sleep while I have to sleep on the floor, stealing food from under my nose as soon as it's prepared, and just being really loud all the time, and she never leaves...
Doesn't she have some place she needs to be?!
Luke hasn't made any effort at all to come to my defence, just letting Louisa be her full, unadulterated, bitchy self, and... really, if I'm honest, Luke is a fucking pussy, and I would swear Louisa is wearing his balls around her fucking neck in a purse made from his scrotum. Charming imagery, I know!
I swear, the only reason I'm being kept around is because my paycheck helps to keep this place, which I'm not going to kick up a fuss about because it's hard enough to keep this place, let alone threaten to go somewhere else. I mean, I could try to slink back to Mom, but, she's been very closed from me recently. Can't say I blame her with how Luke and I acted, but she's not completely blanking me either. Still, I don't think I can bail on Luke and Louisa and leave them to it just yet.
Louisa did something tonight that I didn't see coming though. It involved a romantic dinner, prepared by her own two hands (for whatever that was worth, but the thought was nice), and it was for me and Luke to enjoy. She waited on us with wine and everything. It felt so awkward, I was just waiting for the catch, but, nothing... It was nice...
Luke was also very shocked by this turn of events. He looked like he would say something rude to assert himself, then back off just as he would open his mouth, and he couldn't even look at Louisa. He just quietly ate his food, and drank his wine, and he pouted as Louisa mocked him like he was a toddler at the table told to eat with correct table manners.
I just held myself with dignity, and acted as grateful as I could; so obvious and over-the-top trying to make it so clear I was thankful for what Louisa was doing. I didn't care if it was some joke just barrelling down to the punchline, because I felt proper butterflies and everything, and I loved that feeling.
I sat and watched as Louisa cleaned up, and ordered Luke to help dry the crocks and pans, and put everything away, and Louisa would flick bubbles from the washing-up liquid foam, and whip him with a tea towel... It was all very cute, and adorable, and... I struggled to recall me and Luke having fun like that...
It was after dinner that shocked me though.
We went to the bedroom, and I was requested by Louisa to strip off and lie down on the bed. I was very surprised, but I went along with it, just waiting for it to happen (whatever it was), but all that happened was Louisa sitting in the corner watching as Luke climbed on the bed with me.
Louisa just waved, prompting Luke to, "Go on... Do her..."
