His Crazy Maid

“I am sorry if my nice words makes you uncomfortable.”

Annie turned to him fully and glanced left and right.

Nope!.

He didn’t just apologised?, did he?.

Larry sighed as he watched her.

As she said those words, it felt like a heavy stone have been lifted off his body.

He suddenly felt light.

“Are you sure you’re Larry?.”Annie blurted.

“The Larry I know… he won’t be the one saying this… he is…”

“It’s really me, pink face. It’s me Larry. No other person.”he replied.

“Woah;if this is a dream, then, I don’t want to wake up. This is… is quite unbelievable… so…. wow!”

“It’s no dream, pink face. Standing in front of you is still the handsome Larry.”he joked.

This time around, Annie laughed.

“Seriously!. Who told you you are handsome?, bet that person is blind!.”

“Really?.”Larry smirked and took a step forward to her.

Annie moved back.

“Of course. To me, you aren’t in any place handsome, not even beside handsome talk less on it.”Annie smiled.

Larry still had that smirk on as he took another step towards her and this time, she stood still.

“Now, say that again, pink face.”he hushed.

Annie stared at him for a long time before moving back.

“What do you think you’re doing, doctor Larry. You probably don’t wanna be a naughty boy in front of my parent’s house.”Annie said.

“I can just be as naughty, pink face. Just be as naughty, just for you.”he smiled.

Annie sighed softly and smiled back at him.

“I’ll head in now. Bye.”she said.

“Alright.”he nodded.

She gave a nod and moved inside the house, a huge smile was plastered on her face.

She suddenly replaced th e smile with a little frown when she got to the door.

She doesn’t want her mom to be suspicious.

Larry stood on the spot and watched her till she entered the house then he hopped inside his car and drove away.

~All this while… Rosetta was watching them.~

~While wondering what was between them~

**

That night, Annie’s thoughts were all caught up around Larry’s word.

Gosh!.

He fucking apologized to her!.

He fucking did!.

She just wouldn’t stop smiling all through the night.

“Hey Larry. Can we talk?.”Skyler asked as he bumped into Larry.

“No.”Larry said with an eye roll and continued walking.

“It’s quite important. It’s about your brother.”Skyler added.

Larry halted in steps and stood still for some moment.

He continued walking again.

“Why did you think I’m really here?. Is life is at stake.”Skyler said again.

Larry stopped walking and slowly turned to him.

“You said what?.”he asked.

“You heard me, Larry. Your brother’s life is at stake. I came here for a reason.”Skyler repeated.

Larry moved closer to him.

“And why do you think I should believe you?.”

“Because…. because I’m sure you still love your brother despite the hatred and… and you don’t want him, dead do you?.”Skyler said.

Larry gazed at him quietly.

“And what if I later find out you’re just pulling a stunt on me?.”

“Kill me. Then kill me.”Skyler replied.

Annie woke up lately and she hurried through her house chores.

Gosh!.

She can’t believe she slept off.

Larry is gonna get mad at her real bad.

She’s suppo se to resume work by eight but the time now says, 10;00am.

She’s so dead.

She prepared some food for her mom and do the necessary things then dashed off to the bathroom and took a quick bath.

She dressed quickly in a white short and blue shirt.

She grabbed her bag and went out of the house after saying her good bye to Rosetta.

She opened the entrance door and collider into her father.

“Ooh!, and… the prodigal daughter is here!…”he said.

His eyes were half – closed.

He is drunk again. That’s has turned to his normal routine.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He tends to blab about things when he is drunk.

“And here comes the most foolish man on Earth!.”Annie retorted.

She shut the door and rushed past him.

“Oh, I get!. Going to satisfy your client as usual?!. Well, I don’t fucking care!. Just make sure you bring me home some fine dollars!!!”he yelled after her.

“Curse you man!.”Annie yelled back as she held out her middle finger at him.

“Curse your motherfucking clients!.”he yelled and laughed maniacally and fell down on the floor.

..

Annie went to the mansion and prepared Larry’s breakfast and packed it in a flask and went to the hospital.

She went to his office and knocked on it.

“Who is that?.”came his grumpy reply.

“Uhhh… it’s me. Is this the wrong time?, should I come back?.”she asked.

“Annie?, come in.”he replied a little calm this time.

She breathed out a sigh before stepping inside.

“Sorry I’m….”her words got interrupted by his ringtone.

He picked his phone up and hesitated before picking up the call.

“Hello, dad.”

“What?, why so sudden?.”

“Okay….”

He said before hanging up.

He stared at the screen some time as he nibbled at his bottom lip.

He put the phone down and looked up at Annie.

“You came late. No worries. Put it down.”he said.

“Okay.”Annie nodded and placed the food down on his table gently.

“I will be traveling tomorrow.”Larry suddenly said and she looked up at him.

“Tomorrow?, well.. that’s good.”Annie chuckled.

“You’re going with me, little fine miss.”
