Chapter 10 Weird Miss!

  • Annie hit herself continuously on her head immediately he left.
  • God!. God! God!.
  • You're too gullible, Annie!.
  • Too gullible!.*She yelled in her head.
  • Ugh!.
  • She can't believe she almost let him have his way.
  • Even if...even if he was gonna kiss her ..is that how she will just...
  • Geez!. You're too weak Annie. Too weak!.
  • She paused for a second and frowned.
  • Why the hell is she even getting her nerves with a kiss?.
  • She's his maid!.
  • She has to bear that in her mind.
  • His maid and nothing else!.
  • She sneaked to the door and opened it slightly to see if he is still around.
  • She breathed out a relief sigh when she saw no sign of him.
  • She opened the door and stepped out then closed the door behind her gently.
  • He has probably gone to his room.
  • She stared at the staircase for some minutes and as she turned away,she found him standing before her and her heart jumped inside her mouth.
  • "Jesus!!!."she shouted.
  • "Jesus?."Larry asked with a scoff.
  • "Jesus what?."he asked.
  • Annie's eyes bulged out of its socket.
  • "I thought you've gone to your room already so how come you're here."she asked.
  • "Is that the reason why you called Jesus?,does my presence shock you that much?.Larry said.
  • "What?,no,no. That's a new song by Esther. Her recently song. Jesus!,yay!, Jesus,yay!,I worship you,I love you..."Annie sang quickly.
  • Larry cast her a confused look.
  • "Weird miss."he muttered before walking past her to the kitchen.
  • Annie stared at him as he walked and seeing him step inside the kitchen,she ran away in other to avoid another heart attack.
  • 😊
  • 💟Next day. 💟
  • Annie went to visit her mom in her ward when they got the hospital.
  • Rosetta was sitting quietly on the bed, lost in thoughts.
  • "Hi Mom."
  • Annie's voice broke Rosetta's thoughts.
  • She looked up at her and her face brightened.
  • "Annie!."she called happily.
  • Annie smiled and went to hug her.
  • "I'm sorry,mom. I didn't check up on yesterday. Work."she said.
  • Rosetta sighed and disengaged from the hug.
  • "Yeah, right?. I'm so useless, aren't I?. It's.. it's all because of me. I should have just.. just die."
  • "What?,mom!."Annie scolded.
  • "C'mon, please. I hate it when you say those words,so much!."she added almost at the verge of breaking into tears.
  • "It's... it's just the fact, Annie."Rosetta said and sniffed.
  • Tears streamed down Annie's face.
  • "Did you hear from your dad?."Rosetta suddenly asked and Annie shook her head.
  • "When did you go home last?."
  • "Since the day you were admitted."Annie replied.
  • "I pray he haven't gambled with yet another valuable thing in the house again. My life is just messed up, it's really of a mess!."Rosetta cried.
  • Annie engulfed her in her arms again and they both cried in each other's arms.
  • **
  • "This looks good than a place meant for experiment."Skyler complimented.
  • Larry rolled his eyes.
  • "Yeah, right?."he scoffed.
  • Skyler turned to him.
  • "That was just a beautiful comment,you don't have to be grumpy about it."he said.
  • "Let's get to work. That's the first thing I did. I mixed it up with some..."Larry was still talking when Skyler went to what he pointed at and grabbed the plastic.
  • He opened it and sniffed it in.
  • "You are not gonna drink that,are you?."Larry asked with a sigh and folded his arms.
  • "What?."Skyler turned to give him a glare.
  • "You're one bitter man."he added with a loud scoff.
  • A knock sounded on the door back outside but they didn't hear it.
  • "Hello"someones voice sounded and Larry excused himself and went out ready to lash out at whoever it was.
  • His nerves calmed down a bit when he saw it was Annie.
  • He had asked her to grab some coffee for him earlier.
  • He watched her moving around in the room. Her back was turned to him.
  • "Hey."he said.
  • Her head snapped back and she shuddered.
  • "What?,how come... you're behind me,how?!."she asked.
  • Larry rolled his eyes and pointed to the door he just walked out from.
  • "Woah. So you have another room here. This is really good."she giggled.
  • "You can drop it on the table."he said.
  • She nodded and dropped the box of coffee on the table and glanced at the door and at Larry and as their eyes met,she bowed and moved out of the room.
  • Larry smiled.
  • He walked back to the other room and met Skyler browsing through the other contents.
  • "Get here and let's get started."Larry said.
  • Skyler moved to him and they started mixing some chemicals.
  • Larry's mind drifted to what happened earlier and a smile found it way to his lips.
  • Why did she bowed to him?.
  • "Weird miss!"he laughed out suddenly.
  • "What?."Skyler asked, confused.
  • Larry quickly adjusted himself and replaced the smile on his face with a frown.
  • "Nothing"...
  • # ♥️#
  • *In the night*
  • Annie was in the kitchen chopping the carrot while Larry was sitting in the living room watching a movie.
  • Annie opened the pot and the aroma of the soup filled the room immediately.
  • She poured the carrots inside before stirring the contents in the pot.
  • Larry came in and moved towards the pot.
  • "Is it ready yet?."he asked.
  • "Nope!."Annie replied without looking back at him.
  • "What?, since?, I'm really hungry..why is it taking you hours to prepare just a soup?. One of the reason why I go with having a soup tonight is because I thought it would be faster. I don't know why you're just being slow."he complained.
  • Annie scoffed and covered the pot.
  • "Then,get your ass over here and see if it's easy. You think I'm playing here?."she replied rudely.
  • She suddenly turned to him and then bowed before turning back.
  • Larry glared at her.
  • "Weird miss!."he huffed and walked out.
  • "Handsome guy with no brain!."Annie huffed back.
  • Larry stopped walking when he heard her words.
  • "Weird miss!."he said again.
  • "Handsome man with no brain!."Annie replied back in the kitchen.
  • "Weird miss!!."Larry almost shouted.
  • "Handsome man with no brain!!"Annie shouted back.
  • Larry opened the door and stomped inside the kitchen.
  • "Say that again"he demanded.
  • "Huh?, what?"she asked innocently while bringing out the plates.
  • "Stop pretending, little miss. You know what I'm talking about."Larry frowned.
  • "What's that,I really don't know. Give me a hunch."Annie replied coolly.
  • Larry fumed in anger.
  • "You called me *handsome guy with no brain!* How can you be so good at lies?!."
  • "What?,me?. No way!. I called you that?,I mean...why?."Annie arched her brows then turned off the gas cooker.
  • "You did!. Gosh,stop driving me crazy!."Larry yelled.
  • "How could I possibly insult my boss. Is that when possible?."Annie asked and turned to him.
  • "Then who said that then?. Since you said you are not the one,who then!."Larry asked.
  • "Might be my second. You know,my shadow. She's always protective of me. Might be her definitely."she replied.
  • Larry scoffed loudly.
  • Why this poor thing!...
  • He walked to her and grabbed her right hand.
  • Annie was taken aback and as a result of that,the plate of hot soup slides out of her grip and landed on her toes.
  • She yelped out in pain as the plate broke into pieces and the hot soup hit her toes.
  • "What?,are you okay?"Larry asked in concern.
  • "Damn you prick!,see what you've done!..aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!....I said I wasn't the one...it was my other one. Now,see!,you just portrayed *handsome man with no brain* God, you young fool!!!."Annie shouted at him as tears streamed down her face.
  • Larry blinked rapidly before running out of the kitchen.
  • What?.
  • Can this guy be more stupid?!.
  • Annie slides down to the floor.
  • Larry returned with a first aid box and went on a crouch beside her.
  • Oops!. Turns out he's not that stupid.
  • He took her leg and the saw that the surface has turned red.
  • Some little blood was on her toes also.
  • "What a mess."Larry mumbled.
  • "That you caused with your messy attitude."Annie completed.
  • Larry looked at her and sighed.
  • Without any notification,he drived out a piece of glass which has gone deep inside her leg and Annie shouted in pains.
  • Larry pressed his lips together.
  • He is not enjoying any bit of the scene at all.
  • He shouldn't have grabbed her like that.
  • He should have been more careful.
  • He brought out the ointment and cleaned the surface with it which made Annie to cry out more in pains.
  • The pain was so excruciating.
  • The ointment increased the pain more intensely.
  • Larry stopped applying the ointment on her leg and he looked up at her.
  • Her eyes were shut tightly and tears wouldn't stop comi ng down.
  • That kinda hurt him.
  • "....I...I... I'm......"he stuttered but paused and stared down.
  • He's so much of a prick that he couldn't say those two words.
  • He bit his lips angrily then continued what he was doing.
  • **
  • "It should be fine now. Try not to be clumsy another time."Larry said and stood up.
  • Clumsy?.
  • Annie scoffed.
  • He did this to her and now, he's putting the blame on her by telling her her clumsiness led to this accident?.
  • Woah; so much of a prick.
  • He can't forever change!.
  • He took the 'first aid box ' and left the kitchen.
  • Annie stood up and limpers out of the kitchen to the living room.
  • He should have at least pretend to be a gentleman and carry her to the living room.
  • She rolled her eyes at her thoughts.
  • Always expecting the unexpectable from him.
  • She sat on one of the couch heavily and switched the TV to another channel.
  • Some minutes later,she heard descending footsteps and soon,Larry showed up.
  • He was dressed up in an all black outfit.
  • His trouser was ripped at his knees giving it a somehow *crazy* look.
  • "I'm heading out to the club."he said while heading to the door.
  • "What?,this late?."Annie scoffed.
  • "And, that's non of your business. You are not my mommy."Larry scoffed and walked out.
  • "I'm more than your mommy!."Annie said with an eye roll when he was probably out of sight.
  • She focused back on her movie.
  • **
  • **In the midnight***
  • Annie was starting to doze off as she tried so much to be awake.
  • The film she was watching has ended a long while ago and they are now showing another one.
  • She was feeling sleepy already but a part of her told her to wait for Larry's arrival.
  • Her eyes moved to the clock but she didn't get a clear view of the time as her eyes were blurry.
  • A sudden knock sounded at the door.
  • She didn't reply.
  • The knock sounded again,more heavier.
  • She stirred up and squinted her eyes then stood up.
  • She went to the door and opened it just to see a drunk doctor Larry.
  • "Wha....."her statement was interrupted by the sudden fall of Larry's body on her shoulder.
  • And, immediately,he threw up on her.
  • What?...
  • Her eyes widened in shock......
