The next day, I had been camouflaging with the bushes, as I looked around. I relaxed with him nowhere in sight. Just when I turned around.
"Wahhhh!", I screamed.
He tilted his head and said ,"Ready? To be my server for a week?"
I said ,"Oh no…Mister I have..like I lost my memories. Who are you?"
As he stepped closer and said ,"Your boss for a week"
I nodded as I stepped back, crap. The bushes are making it harder to step back. As he stopped and said ,"Stop running away"
I nodded petulantly. He stepped away and said ,"Follow me, what's your name?"
Ughh this cocky cockroach!
I replied through gritted teeth ,"Kia"
He turned around, a slight smile tugging in his corner as he said ,"Now your first task is follow me around, be good cause I don't like mistakes"
"Seriously? You want me to follow you around?", I blurted out incredulously. The man had tons of stuff to do yet he chose to just walk through some parks. I followed behind him in the scorching heat.
As I watched him, he was just walking…for some reason he looked so distracted, like he is here yet he is not. What a weird guy.
After about an hour he is right now sitting on meadows. For a literal hour his phone was ringing but he was unperturbed. The worst part is he keeps on ordering me to do the most insane things!
Like I hate the sun… so I laid down on the grass he spoke up ,"Did I tell you to lay down? Sit up"
I sat up lazily, Ugh.
He asked ,"What are you 30? Sit properly"
I sat down properly as I retorted ,"Now? Are you satisfied?!"
The rest of the day, he had been making me stupid stuff.
He said as he leaned on his chair ,"Get me a drink"
I took the money and hurried off to buy a drink, as I came back and handed it to him he shook his head and said ," I don't drink sugar"
I nodded as I asked "All right tell me which drink you want"
He thought for a moment before replying ,"Get me coffee"
I clutched the can of cola tightly. This man is doing all these on purpose.As I bring him coffee after waiting in line for 12 freaking minutes.
"Ugh…I drink black coffee" he said as he didn't even bother taking it from me. This time I bought a black coffee.
"Did you spit in it?" He asked as he examined the cup.
"Why...why would I do that??" I asked incredulously.
He said ,"I don't know. You drink it, I don't want it. " as he gulped down water he had right beside him. I felt like throwing the coffee over his darn head.
He asked ,"Why are you standing there? Go and stand on the back. I don't like being watched."
I complied I didn't want to watch him either. As I noticed he doesn't do anything much. Right now instead of working on whatever he was doing, he is in an Internet cafe playing games. After he was satisfied with his record, he got up as I followed.
Right now, we are in his room. The room was clean. He had a whole wall full of trophies and certificates. On the right he had tons of machinery tools. As he sat in front of his very high tech computer set up which I couldn't help but ogle at, he said ,"Alright look away while I work"
I asked ,"Can't I just leave?"
He said ,"Fine stare at me"
I objected ,"No I didn't mean that! I mean you don't need me now…also I don't wanna stare at you"
He stared at me as he said "Yes you will, you will stare at me while I play games"
He is so cruel… I kept my face in his direction as from the corner of my eyes I tried getting a look at the game. He is engrossed he won't notice, as he lost he aggressively threw his headphones away, as he cursed.
I slowly got up as he went ," Did I tell you to get up? Stare at me while I sleep"
I asked "Why?"
He said ,"Because you hate it"
I had nothing to do as his eyes fluttered shut. His breathing became steady. Soon the room was silent except for his soft breathing. I tapped my feet impatiently, what am I doing? Seriously all he does is play games, take walks, or sleep. I don't see him working or studying.
As I stared at the wall filled with trophies I couldn't help but sigh, my eyes darted towards his peaceful face. It is the first time I am seeing his face properly, of course he is handsome.
As I mumbled ,"Who would believe under such angelic face leaves a menacing, evil, gruesome devil!"
I almost felt my heart leap out of my chest when he said ,"Shut up Kia"
I gulped, as he just went back to sleep, not bothering to open his eyes. Ughh I wanna go home. Seriously, his room is so dark. Except from the light on his turned on PC. I slowly got up as I made my way to the door.
"Since you are so eager to leave, take those unfinished assignments with you as well" he commanded. I couldn't help but glare at his sleeping form. I aggressively grabbed the stacks of assignments as I went out.
The next day, I felt extremely tired. If he had made my life so much of a hell in just a day…I didn't want to even think about the rest of 6 days. I walked in and immediately slumped on my seat.
I had to finish my assignments and his as well. I couldn't get a wink of sleep, as I felt my eye lids get heavy, before I knew it I was asleep.
"Ms Flounce" someone called out as I slowly opened my eyes and rubbed them before groggily replying ,"Yes"
I fell asleep in history class. As I had to endure a 20 minute lecture from Devian. I was walking like a zombie as I saw Lioren waiting for me. He smiled as he waved a hi at me.
Bastard.
He spoke his voice filled with amusement ,"Oh my, just one day with me and you are already walking dead"
I mumbled ,"Maybe because you are the grim repear"
As he said ,"Oh yea? Anyways I am getting late follow me"
For some reason today he didn't go home, or the Internet cafe. He walked through the streets, and as we reached a park, the security guard gave him a sympathetic nod, huh? Why?
As he handed me an umbrella, the sky had never been so clear, I could see the sun all bright in the serene sky, as I stared at him in disbelief.
He laid down on a bench as he said ,"Hold the umbrella over me. I don't want a tan"
I obeyed, as I looked around confused. He seemed unperturbed by the situation as he closed his eyes. I had to ask ,"Why are you sleeping here?"
He responded ,"My mom's home"
This made me even more confused. That's when it hit me. It was no secret that his mom had remarried. I felt a bit sympathetic because from what I know from the book, he grew up in an unhealthy family.
His parents never loved each other. Although I didn't know much, I asked ,"Why?"
He responded ,"I don't want to see her"
I nodded, as he said ,"...It's weird" and sat up. He continued ,"Hey, talk. Maybe your yammering can help me sleep"
I conceded from asking him anything else despite my growing curiosity, Lioren just now sounds…different? I was pulled out of my thoughts when he broke the silence.
He crossed his arms. I reluctantly sat down beside him still holding the umbrella, I couldn't help but smile a little, he thinks he is making it harder for me. But little does he know I was crowned as a chatterbox in my previous life.
I had been holding back a ton ever since I reincarnated as I started to talk a bit awkwardly ,"Alright, isn't today's weather really good?"
Time skip…
"I love mountains, really!"
Time skip…
"The government should fix all the man holes. Uhhh last time I almost fell into one"
Time skip…
"Do you know how it feels if a vampire sucks your blood? Does it hurt? Like I had always wanted to understand"
I could see his face contorting into a horrified expression. He didn't respond throughout but I didn't care, it was such a long time since I could talk so freely again.
As I went on ,"I don't understand the difference between a hill and a mountain"
He looked at me right in the eye as he said ,"You must love your voice a lot"
I thought for while as I agreed ,"Yeah I like hearing myself"
He nodded as he sighed and got up ,"You should be in a museum "
Huh? I also got up, I didn't understand he was the one who wanted to chatter away, now he is getting bitter. As we were walking on the pavement. My thoughts kept wandering back to our conversation in the park.
Just then we heard some noises coming from the alleyway. It scared the crap outta me, it sounded like a woman's screaming.
Oh shoot it's a backalley, I watched as he peeped to see, his expression unreadable as he walked into the alley way I said ,"All right bye bye "
He spoke ,"You are coming with me"
I protested ,"Huh? No…no..you see I don't want to be in an alleyway with a guy"
I could see his sarcastic smirk as he responded ," Don't worry we won't be alone"
It somehow made me even more scared. We walked through the narrow concrete floors, I felt my heart beating faster and faster with each step we took. As he stopped and said "Now be quiet"
He and I watched by the wall. There was a group of men advancing on a woman. I clenched my hand at the sight as I looked at him. He didn't look disturbed but relatively calm. As he said ,"Give me your drink"
Seriously!? He thinks this is a show?? He is having fun!?
I asked exasperatedly ,"Are you kidding me?? You-" he cut me off as he grabbed the glass bottle in which my drink was. And before I could blink he had kicked the bottle at one of the men. The man immediately stumbled back, as blood trickled through his forehead.
My drink…
I stared at the lunatic beside me who doesn't seem to care at all. The lady was left alone by the rest of the group. It took them time to process what just happened as well.
I felt him grabbing my wrist as I asked ,"What the hell are you doing!?"
He responded ,"Shut up and run!"
It clicked…as I looked back to see those bulls following us as they shouted at us, I felt my throat run dry. We are really being chased by backalley goons!
I didn't know if I should cry or laugh… but I can tell it will be a long day ahead…
