His Crazy Maid

….

“Wa…. wa… ter…”he gasped for breath.

The noodles was damn too spicy.

His eyes has turned red and he looks like a…. well… more like Satan really right now.

Annie chuckled and folded her arms.

Larry stopped talking and shut his eyes.

He’s got pepper sensuous right now…

He couldn’t move.

“Wa… water, please..”he managed to say.

“Beg me.”Annie smirked.

“Pl… please, please!, just get me water now!.”he apologized.

Annie rolled his eyes.

“This is no fun.”she mumbled.

She thought he wouldn’t wanna apologize to her at first but then, he would finally succumb to her request when she refused to give him water but, he just apologised straight away, which doesn’t make it to be fun.

She stomped away to the kitchen and came back with a chilled bottled water.

She walked over to him and grabbed his hand then placed the water in his palm.

Larry quickly opened it and drank it all in a Go.

He threw the empty bottle away.

“More.”he said.

Annie scoffed and went to bring another one.

He also drank it all.

His nerves then calmed a bit.

He fell back on the chair and breathed out.

He stared at her, he couldn’t say anything at that moment.

But, his eyes tells it all.

He was also going to get back at her.

They will both live in this house together for a month while getting back at each other.

“Was it spicy?, sorry, I must have added the cinnamon too much than it required.”she said, feigning innocent.

Larry just keep glaring at her.

“Do… do you want another bottled water?, I.. could really get it for you, that’s if you want.”she mumbled the last part.

He felt like shoving the food on her face really.

He stood up and went to his room.

Annie giggled as she watched him leave.

Good. He get what he deserves.

But, she should also be ready for his #comeback tommorow.

She knows him. He can’t possibly let this slide.

Annie went to sit at where he was sitting before and finished the meal.

Well… it is not that peppered tho.

She immediately sneezed…

Fuck that!. She added way too more cinnamon.

She ran to the kitchen to get water for herself.

Larry went to shower immediately he got to his room.

After that, he called it a day and slept off.

#

Annie watched some films before sleeping… Zeeworld in particular.

She just so much love their movies.

She watched THESE STREETS… I DO.. then finally… KING OF HEARTS.

She switched off the light and slept off.

#In the midnight.

Larry turned around on his bed and hummed out.

His eyes opened and he rubbed it and yawned.

He feels the need to drink and he stood up and sleepwalked downstairs.

He heard some muffled cries but he acted less towards it.

He went to the kitchen, moved to the fridge and grabbed a water.

He opened the lid and gulped it down…

The images of the other night flooded in and he scoffed and returned the water inside the fridge.

She was so going to pay.

He walked back to the living room and he heard the cries again.

He stopped walking and went to the light switch and pressed it upwards and immediately the bright florescent lights popped on.

He sighted Annie on the couch and he gently moved to her.

Yes, the cries were coming from her.

He wanted to turn back and switch the light back off and go to his room but he shook his head.

Someone is in need of help.

He didn’t want to make that kind of mistake he made back then which ended in his mother dying.

He gently tapped her, but she didn’t budge.

He did that again and still no move from her.

He did it for the third time after assuring himself that he would just leave her be if she didn’t answer.

And that was when she jerked and looked up.

Her eyes were watery.

“Bad dreams?.”Larry asked but she shook her head.

She wiped her tears off.

“Sit up.”Larry said in a more like command tone and she did just that.

“You can always confide in me, okay?. You don’t have to bear the cross alone, someone is always around, I am always here.”he said softly.

Annie stared at him for a long time.

Is he really saying this?.

“It is okay, I mean, it is fine if you don’t want to tell me what prompted the cries. Everybody has secrets and I just wanna tell you that, it is okay, not to be okay.”he added.

Annie smiled.

Gosh. This is the first time she would be hearing him say things like this.

“Thanks.”her voice ended in a muffled cry.

Larry stood up and walked away but came back with some tissues.

He proffered it to her.

“Thanks.”she smiled out tears and collected it from him with both hands.

Larry nod and sat down beside her.

He watched as he cleaned her eyes with the tissues.

But the more she kept cleaning, the more her tears keep brewing out.

She ended using up the tissues but she still had some water on her eyes.

Larry attempted to stand up to get another tissue paper but she grabbed him back by his top.

Huh?.

He turned to her.

“Don’t worry. Just sit.”she said.

He stared at her.

“Just sit, hmm?.”she let’s out a smile.

He finally accepted and sat back on the couch.

“Let’s make the best out of this moment.”she said.

And immediately, she let her head fall on his shoulder.

Larry was taken aback as he stared at her face.

“This.. isn’t right, you know, right?.”he said.

She nodded.

“Of course, just stay still, grumpy uncle.”she chuckled.

And seeing her laugh, he laughed also, tho it was small and short.

“Just for some minutes… stay still..”she repeated.

Larry pressed his lips together and he couldn’t help but stared into her pretty face again.

She looked just like her mother.

They both looked like they are not both from this world… like they came from the fairy world..

She looks really beautiful.

Annie raised up her head from his shoulder after a while.

“Thanks.”she muttered.

She sniffed trying to control her running nose.

Larry stood up.

“I will get you some…”

She pulled him back again.

“No, no, no, don’t worry. There’s actually one here.”she smiled.

She grabbed the sleeve of his top and looked up at him.

That look!.

Larry scoffed.

“You probably don’t mean that right?.”

“I mean it.”she replied.

“What?, you can’t possibly blow your nose with my… my cloth, the one I’m even putting on.”he said in disbelief.

Then, she gave him that puppy eye.

Ugh!.

“Fine!.”

He probably didn’t say that!.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Then, she blew her nose with his sleeve.
