Chapter 40 A friend
“I like you too but just as a friend.”Annie said truthfully.
Boyd face dropped.
He chuckled bitterly.
“Let’s go.”he said.
He tried walking past her but she pulled him back and immediately hugged him.
That took him off in surprise.
“I… I….. thought… you…”he stammered.
Oh. Who would actually think a young billionaire like him will be stammering in front of a lowly slut?, just as Larry as called her.
Awn, this felt good.
She suddenly wished she could love him back.
“Yes, I know. Just stay here like this, okay?. Let me borrow your chest for the next minutes..”she breathed out.
Boyd circulated his arms around here and buried his nose in her hair exhaling her fragrance.
*I’ll only love you more if you keep doing this.*he thought as she rubbed her back affectionately and Annie’s eyes automatically shut.
*
“Okay, let me get ready for the door you’re cooking. Bet it will be damn delicious!.”Annie said as she leaned against the counter watching Boyd as he was preparing dinner.
Well, he insisted he would do it so she just leave it up to him.
“Stop flattering me, little Ann….”he drawled out with a smile.
He walked towards her and stood in front of her.
Annie suddenly became shy.
“Okay?… she pressed her lips together.
“Okay?, so I want to take something behind you.”he replied and leaned in and grabbed the container of salt.
His pointed nose grazed against Annie’s and they both paused to look at each other.
He quickly kissed her softly on her lips then moved away.
Annie watches him as he moved to the cooker and touched her lips.
It seems, she doesn’t know, but, I Esther know that a small smile touched her face and she fucking blushed!

Larry paced tho and fro in his room.
“Hey… baby…”Rose cooed from the bed.
Larry stopped to look at her.
“Why did you let her go?, huh? why?, just fucking why!”he yelled.
Rose got down from the bed and wrapped the blanket around herself to cover her nudity.
She stood in front of him.
“And you would just have r*ped her!.”
He sighed.
“But… but…. just leave. This isn’t right.”
Rose scoffed.
“Stop lying to yourself!”she huffed and brushed her back.
“I’m always yours, Larry…”she licked her lips trying to seduce him.
“That wasn’t me!. No, it wasn’t!. And go away, you devil for I love you not!. God!”he rasped and got out of the room shutting the door loudly.
Rose put her finger in her mouth.
“What you don’t know, Larry, is that you will always be mine whether you like it or not.”

Garry was quite overwhelmed with what was going on around him.
First, he has to sort things out in the hospital.
He has to avenge for Larry’s death.
He just has a lot of *has* to do.
He decided to go out to loosen up a bit.
He took the power bike and went around the towns.
He finally decided to settle in a place probably a bar.
He drove past a lot of houses and finally saw an hotel in sight.
Hm.
He would go with this.
They should have a bar room and the hotel just seems to be an exquisite one.
The owner must have a high taste.
He pulled the power bike in front of the hotel and removed his helmet then placed it on the bike before getting down.
He looked up at the name.
Well, it seems plain tho.
*Hotel de suite.*
Larry got dressed and left the hotel.
He drove to the apartment and after parking his car, went to knock on the metal gate.
At first, there was no response so he knocked for the second time.
Then, he waited for a reply and after some minutes, he heard approaching footsteps from the other side.
The gate opened and Rosetta appeared in front of it.
She looked surprised seeing him there.
“Doc!”she called.
He smiled and gave a little bow.
“How are you ma’am?, how have you been, ma’am?.”
She smiled.
“Oh my God, this is really a surprise!. Come on in!”she said moving aside for him to enter.
He nodded and stepped inside thinking Annie would be in.

Garry strode inside the hotel and cast a strange look around.
Why is there no customer?.
“You came back early.”he heard and turned around.
It was Nancy.
He glanced back wondering who she was referring to.
And well, he was the only one in the room so?…
He turned back to her.
“Do… you know me?”he asked.
“Aha, that girl is now driving you crazy, isn’t she?. Come over here and have a drink.”she said and walked to the bar.
Garry followed and sat on the high stool.
She grabbed a bottle of lavender from the bar and turned back to him.
She took a glass cup and placed it in front of him then popped the drink opened.
She decanted some in the glass and he carried it and drank it in a Go.
Nancy gave a chuckle.
“Messed up, aren’t you?”
Then she refilled the drink.
“I thought you left. I wasn’t expecting to see you here. I mean, why would you be drinking here in the bar when you have a bar of your own fill with expensive drinks in your room?. So strange!”Rose scoffed as she walked over to him.
Garry turned to her.
“Alright, you both. Why the informalities?, we’ve not even met before!”
“Oi?”Rose said.
“Leave him be, Rose. He’s obviously drunk.”Nancy said.
“But I’ve barely take two shots of the drink!.”Garry complained.
“Yeah?, you drunk, Larry. But with love.”Nancy insisted.
“Do you want me to lead you to your room?. You could use a rest really now.”Rose asked.
Garry scoffed and rubbed his neck then nodded.
“And what’s with the change of clothes? And really?!, you didn’t go out with your mask?!”Rose freaked out.
“Oops!, just noticing that!”Nancy sighed.
Garry stood up and cast them both a weird look.
“Is… is this some kind of psychiatrist place?.. you’re all mad.. in everything!”

Larry walked inside the sitting room and Rosetta offered him a seat.
He thanked her and sat down.
He scored his eyes around.
He stared at Rosetta and found her staring at him.
“Any problem, doc?. You seems troubled.”
“Annie, where’s she?”he asked.
“Well?…, she’s staying at a friend’s house which I….”
Larry brows perked up in curiousity.
“That friend of her’s, do you know where she stays?”
“I was just about to say *which I don’t exactly know!* You shouldn’t have interrupted me.”she replied and also came to seat on the sofa.
Larry scoffed and stood up.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Bye.”
“What… you should have at least stay a little longer so I can…”
“Next time, ma’am. Next time.”he replied and stormed out of the house.
He brought out his phone just as he stepped out and dialed Rico’s number.
“Hello?”
“I will send you a number now. Track it down for me.”he said into the phone and cuts the call.
He walked out of the gate and entered his car then zoomed off.
**
*How rude!* Rico thoughts as he stared at the blank phone.
He’s just all so bossy.
Well, he should enjoy it when he still can cause very soon, he believed, the master will take him out.
He walked out of his room and headed out to the bar.
He bent his head, operating his phone and raised his head up when he suddenly bumped into someone.
He blinked.
The hell?!.

Grace felt so uncomfortable under the man’s gaze as she ate her food.
She took a spoonful of the cereal but suddenly drop it back in the cup and sighed as she looked over at Pedro.
“You’re exceedingly and strangely quiet, Pedro. What do you have your sleeve this time around?. And, just why the hell have you been staring at me?”
Pedro scoffed and smiled.
“Thank your stars.”
“You sound so rude.”
“I respect you enough to have saved your when your beasts son almost killed you. Now, that’s enough of respect. And to say you’re even thinking no seeing them again is quite shocking. Oops!, sorry!. Seeing him again. One of them is dead.”
Grace took a long stare at Pedro.
“You’re just heartless*. I tried to put it in on simplicity I could muster up. Are you sure we are birthed by the same parents?”
“Now is just not the time to start to deny me. I take you to your son’s house, hun?”he stood up.
“We will go tomorrow”
And he walked out.
