Chapter 16 There,I said it
She left him there and walked away.
What a stupid asshole!.
Well, it’s non of her business anyways.
His lost, not hers.
If he should like, he should sleep all day, that doesn’t fucking concern her.
*All this because of a kiss?*her inner mind taunted.
She sprang up from the couch and scattered all the things on the centre table.
Ugh!!!!.
Annie!. Why are you so enraged!.
Because of a kiss?, yes, because of a kiss!.
Damn you Annie!.
*Poor ugly slut.*his voice sounded in her head.
That seems to made her more enraged as she closed her ears and screamed out.
She’s nothing but a slut!.
Yes!.
She screamed even more louder.
Stupid Larry made a light move to her actions as he was still enjoying his sleep.
Just then, John rushed in.
“What’s happening?, are you alright?.”he asked with concern.
“I’m fine!.”Annie replied grumpily.
“Wow. Are you sure about that?, cause you don’t look fine in my eyes. Tell me, is there a problem?.”
“I said I’m fine!!.”she flared up.
John sighed.
His eyes trailed over to Larry on the floor.
“What?”he gasped.
He walked towards him to check what was wrong with him.
When he got there, he saw he was sleeping and he scoffed.
Woah;a whole Larry is sleeping on the floor?.
Really?.
He turned to Annie.
“How did he ended up here?. I mean, isn’t he suppose to be in his room… and…”
“Why not ask him instead!.”Annie fired with an eye roll and sat down heavily on the chair.
That was how the day slipped by. With Annie getting angry at every little thing and Larry sleeping like a sleeping prince.
The alcohol didn’t really did good to him.

The next morning*
Larry eyes fluttered opened and he stared around the room for some minutes.
Why does he feels so… how will he put it?.
It feels like he just woke up from death.
Every part of his body is feeling sore and…
He squinted his eyes and touched his forehead.
He racked his brain for a while, to get anything, any hunch, perhaps, on what happened.
But at that moment, his brain has deserted him.
He couldn’t think straight.
His whole body felt numb.
He glanced beside him and saw his phone.
He grabbed it.
He put it on and was surprised to see just how many text messages and calls are hanging on the screen of his phone.
What really happened?.
Suddenly, his mind was diverted to the night.
He went to the club and… drank himself to stupor!.
Oh!.
The door opened and Annie barged in.
Larry raised up his head to look at her.
“How rude!.”he said.
Annie hissed and stood akimbo.
“Well, and there he is. I thought you were dead from the way you’ve been sleeping like a….”Annie said and paused.
“Like a what?.”Larry asked.
“Like a dumbass !.”she said and rolled her eyeballs.
“How cute, rude baby.”Larry chuckled before getting down from the bed.
“By the way, what happened?..”he asked.
“You don’t know?.”Annie asked.
“I can’t remember anything.”he replied.
“Well, you got drunk, all fucked up!. You messed up the whole house and….”
“Wow. Bad language, rude baby. Bad language.”Larry interrupted.
Annie scoffed and glanced beside her.
“I don’t get. You suddenly become Holy Mary or what?.”she asked.
Larry smiled.
“Get out out of my room.”he instructed becoming going inside the bathroom.
What?.
“You damn prick!!”Annie shouted and stomped out of the room.
He just won’t stop getting on her nerves!.
Uuuugggggg!!!!.

Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours and hours turned into days.
Finally, the day Rosetta was getting discharged came.
Annie is currently in Larry’s car.
She don’t really know where he’s driving her to.
He just instructed her to get inside.
“For the last time, doctor Larry. Where the hell are you driving me to?.”she inquired again.
“What?. You don’t trust me?. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna kidnap your cheap ass!.”he replied rudely.
Annie scoffed and shook her head.
She isn’t really in the mood to exchange words with me.
Right now, she doesn’t know, but she’s feeling kinda sad.
Probably because they will be going back to that house again.
The house she most hate.
She still has two weeks to spend with Larry.
They’d both agreed that she will start resuming by 8:00am and return to her house by 5:00pm.
“Okay. We are here already, so chill out.”Larry voice brought her out of her reverie.
She glanced around to see that they are at the grocery store.
Well….?.
She turned to him.
“What are…”
“To get you some food stuffs. Aren’t I just a good boss?.”he grinned.
“Gosh.”Annie said and got down.
He also got down and they both walked inside.
They started browsing through the shelves and Larry just keep picking everything.
“Wait. What’s that for?. We won’t…”
“No worries. I’m pretty rich. I can just buy the whole building.”he joked but Annie didn’t laugh as she didn’t find it funny.
The thought of going back to the house is really weighing her down.
“Thanks by the way.”Annie suddenly said as they went on shopping.
“Don’t mention.”he smiled.
**
They went back to the car with Annie holding several nylons despite the one Larry still assisted her in carrying.
He opened the booth and they placed all the things inside.
They then drove back to the hospital and carried Rosetta and headed to Annie’s house.
**
“Wow. This is nice.”Larry said as he stopped the car in front of the slum that serves as a house for Annie.
“Quit being nice.”Annie scoffed.
“Thank for the ride, doctor. You’re one in a million.”Rosetta said.
“Awn, don’t make me blush, ma’am. I’m just being myself.”Larry replied.
Annie glanced at him.
Being himself?.
This is the most arrogant and rude guy she has ever met and now he’s acting all nice in front of her mom.
She rolled her eyes at him.
Annie got down alongside Rosetta and Larry.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He opened the booth and help her to unpack the nylons.
“Is that for us?.”Rosetta asked, surprised when she saw Annie lifting them up.
“Yeah. The good doctor bought it for us.”Annie said.
“Wow. Thanks Doc. You’re really nice. I wonder what we’ve done to you to be receiving all this nice gestures of yours. I don’t really think we deserve Thanks alot.”Rosetta thanked him almost at the verge of tearing up.
“Oh, stop it ma’am. Your daughter….”Larry was saying but stopped.
He and Annie both exchanged some looks.
“My daughter?, what did she do?, is she rude to you or…”
“No, not at all, ma’am. She’s indeed very good.”Larry replied.
“Oh, that’s good.”Rosetta smiled.
“I thought she was being rude to you. I wanted to give her an earful.”she added.
Annie faked a smile.
“You can go in, mom. I’ll join you in a jiff.”she said.
Rosetta nodded and entered not before thanking Larry again.
“Your mom is nice.”Larry stated after Rosetta had left.
“Unlike you.”he added.
Annie only rolled her eyes.
“Being naughty in my mom’s presence, huh?.”
“What?. I wasn’t trying to be naughty. Just trying to be nice.”
“Exactly!. Stop being nice. I like it pretty much when you’re yourself. You’re making me feel bad when you act nice.”Annie sighed.
Larry stared at her then nodded.
“I’m… well… I’m…”
“It’s okay. After all, you’re not gonna say that, are you?”she mumbled.
She grabbed the nylons and looked at him.
“Tomorrow then.”she said and turned to leave.
“I’m sorry.”she heard him say and she stopped walking.
She slowly turned to him.
“I said I’m sorry. There, I said it.”
