Chapter 10 Tryna steal a kiss?
Then, she blew her nose with his sleeve.
Larry faced sideways, already feeling irritated.
Gosh!
He couldn’t believe he allowed her to clean her nose with his sleeve.
Ew!. Gross.
*This is just for tonight. Just for tonight.*the word resounded in his head.
Annie dropped his hand and that was when he looked at her.
He stared at his sleeve and it was already wet.
Ugh!.
“Thanks.”Annie said.
Larry watched her as her eyes started closing.
Soon, her eyes closed finally and her head fell back on his strong and comforting chest.
She rubbed her head against his chest like a puppy and smiled in her sleep.
Larry stay stilled for a moment.
Seriously?.
This girl is a pain in the ass!.
He wanted to push her away but he shook his head at the thought.
No, he would just wake her up and he didn’t want to do that.
So, he has no other option than to entertain the action for a while.
He found himself drooling over her again and he didn’t know when he slept off also.

Mr Sean went entered the room with a bow.
“Sir. They moved abroad.”he said.
The unknown man scoffed.
“Did you confirm it?.”he asked.
“Yes.”Mr Sean replied.
“Are you sure he won’t make any absurd move?, can we trust him?.”the second man asked.
“Certainly!. He seems to be living a quite life over there. I can assure you, sir, that there will be no problem.”he stated.
“Your words better be it.”

#the next morning.
Annie’s eyes fluttered opened and she stirred up.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Oh, this is so comforting.
She turned around but suddenly sat up and found Larry beside her and worst part, she has been sleeping on his legs.
And she even called it comfortable!.
His head was on the couch headrest and his mouth was slightly opened.
Those small pink lips looks pinker this morning.
Annie smiled and moved to him.
She gently and carefully touched his lips and she blushed.
She felt like kissing it!.
She moved her mouth towards his and his eyes suddenly opened.
She frozed immediately.
What?.
He caught her!.
Larry’s brows creased up in a frown.
“What do you think you’re doing?. Trying to steal a kiss from your boss?, don’t you think that’s rude, little miss?.”
Annie stared back at him, embarrassed.
“I wasn’t… hm!, trying to anything… I just..”
“I hope you do know your incompetent in telling lies. Geez, I thought you’re better than that. Didn’t actually think you’re just like every other ladies. I thought you were different. Ugh, get the hell out of my face, poor ugly slut!.”
What?..
Annie gasped.
She moved back from his face and dug at her lower lips.
She just literally disgraced herself.
She was the cause for this hurtful words.
Well, she expected it tho.
The sweet moment were just for that little moment.
“Kiss stealer.”Larry mumbled and got up then walked away.
Geez… what a bitch she is!.
“Hey, get into that kitchen and cook for me cause I’m damn hungry!.”he yelled half way through the stairs.
Annie smiled bitterly.
*Poor ugly slut!.*
No one has ever called her that.
Well, she had seen his caring side in the mid – night and now, she’s left with no option but to see his grumpy and rude side.
She stood up and went to the kitchen.
She started cooking and when she was done, she set the table and went to do the other chores.
After some hours, she was done and Larry had finished his breakfast also.
She also ate her food in the kitchen and on moving out of the kitchen, she bumped into Larry.
“Jeez. You blind?.”Larry scoffed.
He is trying so much to give her the impression that he dislikes her.
He couldn’t believe he went up to that level last night.. just to satisfy her.
He didn’t quite believe that he, Larry, allowed a guy to blew her nose with his sleeve!.
He didn’t like the caring act he put up in front of her and he wants to change that.
He wants to show her he can be as bad just as he is good.
He wants to be ruthless towards her.
He doesn’t want what happened the other night to cloud her mind and give her a positive thing about him.
He want her to think of him as negative.
He’s doing so much, all this to wipe away the little good time from her memory.
He wants her to think of him as bad, nothing him.
Think of him as negative.
Why he wants all that… he knows but didn’t quite know.
“I’m sorry.”she quickly apologized.
He wanted to tell her to go on her knees, but his heart refuses so he just glared at her.
“I’m sure you know your way to the hospital now,”he started.
She nodded.
“Yes.”
“Good, I want you to trek down to the building.”he added.
Annie’s eyes widened.
“What?, impossible?, how did you want me to… I’d rather stay back in the house than coming to the hospital then.”she almost yelled.
Larry’s eyes darkened.
Annie moved back in fright.
She haven’t seen this side of him before.
“Don’t provoke me, kiss stealer, don’t!.”
Good!, now, she has gained another title.
Kiss stealer, not little kiss again.
She had been given another name.
“I’m giving you one damn hour to get to the hospital, hmm, got that?.”he said.
The last part of his words made her remembered what happened on the other day.
When she asked him to call her sister Annie.
Oh.
That was damn fun!.
Her lips surged forward, ready to release a smile but she quickly wave it off. Not now.
“But, why are you doing this to me. I don’t remember offending you in any way, so why!.”she yelled out and tears streamed down her face.
“Really?”he chuckled dryly.
Annie remembered what she did the other day.
Oh.
Payback!.
“Now, you do know.”Larry said and walked out.
Annie threw some pictures in the air at him in annoyance.
Where is she even going to take her bath?.
He hasn’t not given her any room yet and from the look of it, he doesn’t look like he would do that any moment.
She decided to bath when she get to the hospital.
She walked out and towards the gate.
She met a guy sitting beside it.
“Good morning.”she greeted.
“Yes, where are you going?.”he asked.
“And you?, who are you?.”she asked back.
“Dummy!. I man the gate.”he rolled his eyes.
“Ugh, just let me be and face your friggin job!.”she scoffed and grabbed the gate handled and opened it then stomped out.
She started walking under the harsh sun.
After an hour and thirty minutes, she got to the hospital.
She was sweating back to back.
Her legs feels so wobbled.
She headed to Larry’s office and entered.
“Go back and knock.”he said without looking up at her from the book he’s studying
Annie was left with no choice but to go back out even though she felt so weak and knock.
First knock.. no response.
Second…,,
It was at the third time that he responded and when he did, he managed to sound as faint as ever.
She walked in and breathed out.
“I.. am here.”she announced.
“I ain’t blind, neither I’m I dead eared(deaf). You don’t need to announce your presence.”he said and dropped the book he was going through on the table.
“I said one hour, but, you spend an accurate one hour and forty minutes, now, little miss, don’t you think you really need a punishment?.”
Annie just breathed out.
All she needs now is a very chilled water.
Gosh, she made a mistake by coming to this prick here first.
She should have go for water instead.
He picked up some money on his desk and stretched it out at her.
“Here, get me two cups of chocolate hot coffee down street with this. I will give you twenty minutes, no, that’s too much, fifteen, you have fifteen minutes.”he said.
Annie scoffed loudly.
She can’t believe this?.
He’s asking her to go all the way downstreet again???.
“Here!.”he frowned.
She moved towards him and as she made to collect the money from him, he suddenly took his hand away.
“What’s that?. You smell awful!. Go take a bath first before grabbing my coffee for me. Geez!, ew!”
He covered his nose with his two fingers.
Annie glared hard at him before turning to walk away.
Her legs felt so sore and all her strength had left her.
She moved towards the door and as she reached towards the doorknob, she collapsed.
