Revenge

Annie fed Rosetta with the warm vegetable soup.

Rosetta collected it and munched on it while staring at Annie.

Annie noticed her gaze but she refused to look up at her as she just stared at her mouth.

Rosetta gulped down the remaining food in her mouth and Annie moved another spoonful to her month.

She gently shook her head.

"Huh?,why?."Annie asked and she dropped the spoon. She finally looked up at her.

"How....how are..you going to pay the money....it will be quite much,or, isn't it?."she asked lowly.

Annie sighed.

She forced out a smile at her.

Oh. She didn't want to tell her she's doing what she has vowed not to do in her entire whole life on Earth just to pay off their debts.

"I...i got a job."she lied.

Rosetta eyes brightened up a little bit upon hearing that.

"Really?... you've finally got a job?,since all this while?. Where's it?."she bombarded Annie with questions.

"It's a restaurant. I got employed as a cook."she lied again. This time,she couldn't afford to look into her mother's eyes any longer.

She has never lied to her. This is the first.

She nibbed her bottom lip.

"Now,you should really eat. The doctor said you need it and it will enable you to fart really well so,you can eat another."Annie changed the topic.

She didn't want them to lingered on on it.

"God,I hate this."Rosetta sighed.

They had deprived her of eating for long because she didn't fart.

But as soon as she farted,they finally allowed her to eat.

"Don't worry,we will soon be out of here."Annie mumbled and she gave her the soup.

"When will you be going?."Rosetta suddenly asked.

"Hun?."Annie looked up.

"To work. When are you going to go?."

"Uhm...I think in the evening,I don't know yet."she replied.

Larry is an unpredictable guy.

He can come in the next minute and tell her to go back home or in the evening.

"You sound unsure. Didn't they give you any working hours?."Rosetta asked, breaking Annie's thought.

"Uh... in the evening. I will be going back in the evening."she quickly said.

"Oh. That means I will be left alone again. When will I get discharged?."

"Mom."Annie chuckled.

"You're always in a hurry!."she smiled cutely.

"Oh, really?."Rosetta asked and laughed.

They both laughed and for that moment,their problems all seems to fade away.

Mr Sean placed a heavy knock on the door and some minutes later,the door opened slightly and a lady's face popped out.

"Yeah?."she asked.

Mr Sean smiled.

"Hi, please,I came looking for the people living here, but,the house have been demolished and I decided to ask you since you're their very close neighbor. Please,do you have any hunch on where they moved to?."he asked while pointing to the other house.

"And who are you to them?."the lady asked with a raised brow.

"Oh,a very good friend of theirs,a family friend to be precise!."he replied.

"They've moved abroad."she said and shut the door immediately without giving him a chance to ask another question.

Annie slowly  pulled the duvet over Rosetta's body.

She moved in to kiss her forehead and closed her eyes.

She opened them back and stood properly.

She sighed before stepping out of the room. She gently closed the door and turning back, Sam's big face popped up and she jerked back in fear.

"What?."Annie shrieked.

"What?,did I scare you?."Samuel asked.

"Gosh!,so much!."she replied and hold her chest.

"Well then, sorry!."Samuel smiled.

"Yeah, whatever. Did you came to check up on my mom?,if yes, she's currently asleep and..."

"Nope. I came here for you."Sam said.

"For me?"she scoffed while pointing a finger at herself.

"Yes,you!."he smiled again.

*Now,this guy is really weird.*Annie thought.

"Tell me friend, what's your relationship with the doctor?"he asked.

Annie scoffed loudly..

"And why is that your concern?,we aren't even friends."she asked.

"Just feeling concern, that's...."

"Why are you feeling concern?."Annie cut him off.

"Well, obviously. Because Larry isn't a guy a small and weak girl should be around. He is really dangerous."he replied, trying to freak her out so she would tell him the truth.

"Well,if he's dangerous,then,I can be as bad. Let down your worries,weird doctor. Goodnight."Annie said with an eye roll.

She took a step forward and saw Larry staring at both of them.

His eyes were peering into her's particularly and for a second,she got lost staring into that ocean like eyes.

She finally got control of herself and looked away.

His head was wrapped in a bandage. He probably sustain some injuries the other time when his head bleeds.

"Let's go."Larry said.

She started walking away in scurries.

What was that?. She asked her self.

Larry looked at Sam.

"What were you discussing about with her?."he asked.

"Something friends do talk about. What?, you have a business in that?."Sam scoffed.

"Keep your stay away from her, Samuel. She isn't like the others."Larry said.

"Ugh,stop acting bossy,Larry, you're no boss!."Sam grunted and walked away.

Larry stared at him still he was out of sight.

He turned and also walked away.

*

He got to the garage and met Annie there already. She and John were both discussing.

*Gosh. She's just always talking with everybody.*Larry thought.

He entered the car without sparing either of them a glance.

"What happened to him?."John asked Annie.

Annie just shrugged.

"Don't really know. Anger,maybe."she said.

"Oh, right."John nodded.

They both entered the car.

John drove out of the building.

They got home and as Annie stepped down,her mouth dropped open.

How come she's just seeing this?..

The house is frigging good!.

The....

"Hey,i did not bring you to my house just to stare, fucking go in there and prepare my dinner for me."Larry said grumpily.

Annie looked at him and found him glaring at her.

Okay?..why the glare?.

He moved inside and she followed suite.

He climbed the stairs up to his room and she went to the kitchen.

When she got there,she cogitated on what to prepare for him.

She decided to make noodles since that will be easier.

An idea struck inside her head.

She suddenly smirked.

Revenge time.

He's going to pay for talking to her rudely..

Well,this will be fun.

He can continue to yell at her and she will just continue to get back at him in his food.

He brought out some cinnamon and chicken then the noodles and started cooking.

**

Minutes later**

The aroma of the noodles has filled the kitchen already.

Annie turned off the gas cooker and dished out the food.

She took it to the dinning area and placed it in front of Larry.

He immediately grabbed the fork and put a forkful of it in his mouth.

His eyes suddenly became reddened and he sprang up and started gasping for breath....
