Chapter 45 The kiss you’ve longed for
Annie raised a brow up at him.
“What are you doing here?”she asked while sitting up on her bed.
Larry made to take a step forward but she stopped him.
“Out, please. Your presence isn’t needed here and how in hell did you manage to find out my house?”
Larry sighed.
“Somehow. I found your house somehow, good?. And how careless you are to be asking such questions now. If I didn’t know your house then how will I be sending you those letters?”
Annie paused and gazed at him.
What’s he spluttering?.
She couldn’t believe her ears.
The letter she received that time when they said he was dead…. the other one …. then the other one which he wrote *do you love him?*
He’s been the one sending those letters?.
Mama mercy!.
Why didn’t she think of this earlier?.
Well, yeah, she’s so dumb.
“You… you are the sender of the letters?….”she asked him.
He nodded.
“Yes, I am.”
“But… why?”Annie scoffed.
“Why?…”he asked back.
“Yes, why?!. Are you seriously fucking playing games with me?. That means you know my whereabouts then but chose to hid yourself away?. You’ve been playing hide and seek with me?”
Now, it was Larry’s turn to scoff.
“You’re totally wrong if that’s what you wanna tag it as. Hide and seek?, well, hell nay.”
“Then, what is it?. You’ve been hiding yourself away from me for a long time but then you suddenly show up, sending me letters about missing me,, tailing on me, I guess and I found you. Isn’t that what’s called “Hide and Seek?*”
“Stop acting like a bimbo, Annie. C’mon, I expected it better from your part. Knowing well what I went through, you still thought what happened was the kid’s game?”
“Oh, tell me more about it, bozo.”Annie rolled her eyes and jumped down from her bed.
She opened the door and sighed.
“Get out, please.”
Larry turned to her and raised a brow.
“Why?.” “Tell me, little miss, why should I leave?”
“Because you’re not wanted here. As simple as that, so, out please.”
“No, I wanna stay.”
“Woah. In my room?. Look here, young man, you may be a dictator in your house but not in my room, Larry, fuckin get out.”
“I insist, I’m not leaving. Shout at me, yell. But one thing is sure, I ain’t leaving here.”
Annie scoffed.
“What nerves…”she balled her fist.
“Go out while I’m still being nice, else I’m going to call the cops on you.”she threatened.
“And what?, get me arrested for what reason?”
“For breach of property!”Annie retorted.
“I’m not leaving, kill me, arrest me. Of how harmful will your judgement be, as far as it’s coming from you, then, it’s all good.”Larry said adamantly.
“Do not provoke me, young man.”Annie breathed out a frustrated sigh as she flicked her hair back.
“As far you’re the one my
provocation is on, it’s as good as a fresh baked cake.”
“Fuck no!, bozo. Now, step out.”Annie said and tried pushing him out.
But who was she kidding with?, he’s as strong as a rock!.
“I’m sorry.”he apologized.
Annie stopped and stared at his face.
“I’m really sorry… about that night. It wasn’t intentional.. seeing you with that guy enraged me so much that my anger blinded my eyes and I didn’t know what I was doing to you. The fact that you even slapped me because of another guy infuriated me the more.. I’m so sorry. Please, forgive me, fresh cake.”
No, he just didn’t say that.
Whoo!.
This is quite a surprise.
He finally apologized.
But she wasn’t gonna give in to this easily..
“Please, kindly go out.”she repeated the words again.
Larry sighed.
He knew she was trying to punish him but he isn’t leaving here without earning her forgiveness and getting back to her.
“How about I do this then?”Larry asked and moved a few inches closer to her.
Annie stepped back.
“Hey, hey!. Step back you rude man.”
Larry smirked then in a swift, grab her waist and pull him to his chest.
Annie gasped.
She opened her mouth to talk but instead her mouth was caught in a deep kiss.
Annie’s eyes widened.
She was awestruck.
Is…. is this really happening?..
Is he kis… s.. like kissing her now?…
Her heart softened immediately.
Larry moved in with entangling their tongues despite her not reciprocating.
Tho, Annie did not reciprocate to the kiss but she now one thing!.. IT FEELS GREAT!.
He suddenly stopped and moved a little bit away from her so as to access her full face.
“I’m really sorry, pink face. I didn’t mean to do that. I’m… I’m sorry…”Larry apologized.
“Did… you just kissed me?”
“Yes. And I will do that a million times.”he replied.
Annie’s heart fluttered and her face turned tomato red.
She looked down, suddenly picking some interest on the floor.
Larry studies her then later, he raised up her head making her to look at him.
Annie mouth opened partly when she saw a tear roll down his pretty face.
She moved his hand to his face and cleaned it with her thumb.
“How come you’re crying?”she questioned.
“Because of you. Because you won’t listen to my sorry.”Larry replied and a tear came rolling down again.
Annie gasped “what?. Stop crying, Larry..”
“You know, I’ve never tear up in front of anyone before.. so, isn’t amazing that I’m doing that now?. But, well… it… it feels good cause I’m doing that in front of you… crying like a baby…”
Annie laughed.
“But stop crying now, hm?. It’s really disheartening seeing you cry, you might be a prick sometimes but well, you’re still my… my…”
Larry’s face brightened up.
“Your..?..”
“My… uhm.. will always remain my boy, bozo, prick..”
“What?, so much insults just for the innocent me?, now I feel bad and I might really tear up again..”
“Oh, what did I say now that want you to tear up?”Annie smiled.
“Well, a lot.”Larry responded.
“As lot as?”
“As lot as a million ones. But, I will just pick one out of it, the most important…”he said with a smile.
Annie moved back.
“That smile?…..”
“Yeah, that smile, that kiss.”Larry responded and claimed her lips again.

After staying home for a whole day, Skyler went out already feeling boring.
He contemplated on where to go to free himself out but he is exactly the social type so he rarely knows places here and a Google could just have help but he isn’t the exact type that’s fond of phone and normally, when he goes out, he normally drops his phone at home.
He even hate operating his phone!.
So weird of him!.
He entered his car and just drove to the whatever destination that came to his mind.
Some minutes later, he found himself driving inside and parking Larry’s hotel.
He got out and walked in.
Everywhere seems quite, so unusual of how a hotel should be.
Plus, today is Friday so why does everywhere seems dried up?.
He stopped walking, taking in the appearance of the building.
Larry has did well enough.
This place will surely pass for a mini paradise.
“We are not opened yet.”he heard a sweet voice say.
He turned and saw a lady dressed in white.
He first scrutinized her whole body.
So, he isn’t that good in expressing a lady’s beauty but then.. she’s super beautiful in simple words.
“I. said. we. aren’t. open. yet.”Rose picks her words, carefully.
“I know,”he found himself saying.
Then, he said what surprised himself.
“But are you open?, is your heart still not open or it’s already in business?”
Rose looked at me and scoffed.
“Look, strange cutie, I think you should start going.”
“No. I like you.”

If I’m correct, this is the tenth time that Larry and Annie will be kissing..
But, then, we thank Rosetta for coming just in time to stop them before they damage each other’s lips cause of kiss!.
She opened the door already forgetting that Larry is still in there with Annie.
She barged in and when saw the sight….”whooooooooooooooo!!!!”she shouted.
Larry and Annie moved away from each quickly, feeling embarrassed but Annie is more embarrassed.
She turned around to walk out but then turned back…
“But whooooooooooooooo!!!!!!”she ululated.
Annie blushed really hard.
Your mom seeing you and a guy kissing could be so embarrassing.
“Continue… continue… OMG, Annie this is so great!, wow!, finally, you’ve finally found him!, finally found your him!”Rosetta grinned.
“What?, mom?. Did you see anything?”Annie asked pretentiously while blinking her full long lashes.
“What?, no?, of course no!. I came with my hand over my eyes like this….”Rosetta smiled and covered her eyes with her palm, demonstrating then she went out.
After she was out of sight, Annie let’s out a breath she didn’t know she has been holding.
She holds her chest.
Larry looked at her and pulled her to himself.
“What?, that’s enough kissing, Larry, no more again.. at least for tonight.”
“Really?”
“Don’t even tell me you want to continue kissing me before”
“Should I?”
Annie jabbed his chest playfully.
“No, don’t!.”
“Just let him, Annie..”Rosetta voice sounded at the other end.
“What, mom!. Don’t tell me you’ve been staying there!”
“Oh, of course. I’m just so happy.”
“But you’re being intrusive mom.”
“Oh, shut up, Annie. See you ranting about personal* stuff. Seriously?.”Rosetta replied.
“Why did you even come in the first place?”
“Well because it’s been long you both have been in the room and….”
“Just go away, mom.”
“Alright. Larry, feel free to do any…”
“Mom!!!!!!!”
“What?. So, Larry, is that all?, you can always take her to your house so you guys can continue..”
“Really?, then, how about tonight?. Can I take….”
“Feel free, Larry.”
Annie scoffed and folded her arms.
“Mom?, are you really encouraging me to go home with a…”
“You’re no kid anymore, Anne John. It’s time my grandchildren start running around in the house…”
“Are you insinuating I get married?”Annie gasped, her palm over her mouth.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“If that’s how you understand it then fine, all good.”
Larry took Annie’s hand and walked out with her and they saw Rosetta by the door.
“Are you even my real mom, mom?”
“Of course, I am.”Rosetta giggled.
“Larry, take her home, in my gladness.”
“I didn’t really know you were this naughty, momma.”Annie rolled her eyes…
“Okay, so, I’m just gonna take her with me now, ma’am. Good night.”
“Nightie nightie, you both have a good night rest, hun?”Rosetta replied and pushed them out of the room then locked the door.
“Ugh, mom???!!!!!!”
“Yes, child. Go on, you can do it.”
Larry gave Annie a quick peck on her cheek and gripped onto her hand the more.
“Let’s go.”
“Did you bribe her?, how come she likes you so much?”
“Because she likes me.”
“And why?, why does she likes you?.”
“Because I’m likeable.”
Annie scoffed and removed her hand from his angrily and walked further away while Larry follows after her with a smile.

“Feels good coming here again.. and oh, this skips my mind. Did Garry know you’re alive already..”Annie asked as they walked inside of the mansion.
“Of course, if he didn’t, i wouldn’t be here but at the hotel instead.”Larry replied.
“That’s good. Can’t believe I missed that.”Annie said.
“Yeah, right?”Larry nudged her.
“Yeah…”she smiled ..
*Larry you’re back.*a voice said.
They looked up and saw Gracie on the stairs.
Gracie and Annie stared at each other.
“Oh, here mom, meet Annie.”Larry introduced.
“And, Annie, meet my mom..”
Gracie stared at Annie and finally spoke up.
“I don’t…..”
