WHEN they reached Phoebe's house Sawyer look the whole place. The house is small but the cleanliness can be seen. She took good care of the plants outside, it's colorful and fattle.
"Come in."
He followed Phoebe as she entered the house. Sawyer stop from walking when the first time he get in he saw the surrounding. The whole place is very clean, it's calming thought. He could not believe that this house was something than he thought.
If the outside is clean, then if you go inside you will not see any clutter or dirt at all. Each furniture is arranged properly and placed in the right place. It's so beautiful inside.
Sawyer notices something inside Phoebe's house. He look around until his gaze stop at her ceiling, every corner of her house he looked through. A small smirk plastered at his lips. Phoebe seems to love flowers. When he first came inside, you could know it immediately. It's too obvious actually because of its design.
Outside of her house is full of colorful flowers as well as the designs inside. From the wall, furniture, to the chair there are also flower designs as well as the curtains are the same. There is nothing inside without a flower design. There are also at the ceiling.
Sawyer shook his head and grin. "You like flowers, huh!"
“ Isn't it obvious? And who's girls doesn't like flowers? ” Phoebe's quick asked.
She even scratched her head so because of the shame of what he said. She couldn't help but blush as well as her whole face. She bent down her head to hide it from his sight.
Why did he even notice the designs of her house? Could he just ignore it?
She really couldn’t control her embarrassment. If he is her friends she's would be proud of this design but to the man in front her? She doesn’t seem to be able to do that. He was different from her friends.
"Sit down first."
Again Phoebe supports Sawyer to sit in the wooden chair. She saw Sawyer's slightly grimace as he held onto his waist. She think it's hurt so much because of he suddenly sit.
She worriedly glanced at his waist he was holding before looking at him pityingly. She could not help but feel pity for his condition. She just doesn’t want to show it that him because he might not want to felt pity.
He might suddenly get angry with her. She knew the man's pride was high, they do not want to be pitied.
What happened to him to lose his memories?
That's what she ever wanted to ask but she can't say it. He doesn't even remember it so how can he answer it? And he already answered her lately, and said he don't even know. Sometimes she forgets to think correctly. She just shook her head.
"You alright? I'll just take the first aid kit so I can clean your wound.”
Sawyer just nodded at her. Because of tiredness he slowly leaned his head in the chair and closed his eyes. Maybe he's tired of walking towards here.
No matter how hard Sawyer tries to remember his lost memory he just gets nothing, his head hurts even more. He need time to remember it. He couldn't force it. He will wait until he remembers, and also Phoebe told him that she will help him until he recovers and remembered it all.
He didn't know why he felt secured to Phoebe. He immediately trusted her even though he didn’t know her yet. Didn't even enter his mind that this girl was wicked. He also has no choice. This is the only person who help him.
Sawyer thinks she's a good person. She wouldn't help him if she's bad. She didn’t even know him but she still helped him. So maybe that's the reason he quickly trusted the girl.
Her face is too innocent. Her voice was soft and gentle. She is as if she's charming you because of that tenderness. She's different. Even if she is angry or annoyed, she will not lose the refinement and tenderness in her voice.
"She's a witch!" he said shakily as he remembered that he had been dazed lately before he had just opened his eyes.
He thought he saw an angel. Her beauty is uncompeer. He felt the strength of her aura even though she was wearing only a very simple white t-shirt and paired with pajamas. The woman is very white and you would never think that she was living her on this island.
She seems to have a lineage. Looking by her appearance, she looks like an Brazilian or Australian child. Her color is very different. He thinks she is the whiter of all individuals here in the Island.
When he felt a presence coming, he sat up properly. He slowly opened his eyes and again the eyes of him and Phoebe met.
Phoebe was walking towards him while holding the first aid kit. His jaw clenched when Phoebe sit beside him. She's too close. He could even smell her scent. He could not deny that he was affected by the smell of her.
“I'll clean your wound, hmm? I will clean your wounds on your body before the one on your face.” Phoebe grabbed Sawyer's dress and suddenly lifted it, she don't even ask him.
"What the?" Sawyer looked at her in shock. He doesn’t expect that she suddenly do it.
"I'll clean it now." She pouted as if she had done nothing to surprise him. Very innocent.
Sawyer sighed before slowly nodding. He bent down to look at his body that already exposed to Phoebe's sight. He saw a large bruise on the side of his abdomen, with scars on the other side of it. He can't believe it. Even though it was full of bruise Sawyer was sure it was still attractive.
Phoebe swallowed when she saw Sawyer's body. She couldn't believe that she could see such a beautiful body. His stomach was full of bruise but its beauty is not diminished.
She couldn't take her eyes off the lumps in his stomach. She wanted to touch it but he just restrained herself. Why does he have a lot of pandesal in his stomach? She swallow her saliva because she think she abruptly became hungry. Does she still have rice? She apparently prefers to eat first before treating his wounds.
‘Caldwell’s doesn't have that plenty of abs. Ohmygod!’ Phoebe’s eyes widened as she looked up him, she could barely breathe.
"What?" Sawyer asked with a frown when he saw the girl's wided eyes.
Phoebe shook her head quickly, her lips still hanging. "Y-You have many ..." she's not in herself when she as that before looking at the lumps in his stomach again.
“What are you saying? How many what?” Sawyer's eyebrows met, wondering at her.
Phoebe swallowed. She raised her hand and pointed to his stomach. Sawyer looked at where her finger was pointing. What's her problem to his stomach?
"Lots of lumps here," Phoebe said softly then brought her face close to his stomach. She would count how many lumps he had in his stomach.
Sawyer was shocked at Phoebe's approached. The girl's face was too close to his stomach. He even got away from her a little bit. Sawyer felt something because of what she did. He could not help but to turn on.
‘Fuck! This is fucking not right! ’Sawyer growled to himself as Phoebe moved more closer, her finger pointing at his stomach and count the whatever in there.
Sawyer just grinned at what he felt was strange. He can't affected at the girl.
"You want to touch it?"
She looked up at him. He was slightly taken aback by Phoebe's repeatedly nods. He was just joking but he didn't expect that she would take it seriously. Strange.
"Really?" Sawyer observed the twinkle in Phoebe's eyes.
Sawyer's face lost emotion as he touched Phoebe's face and pushed her away from his stomach. Sawyer sighed in disbelief when he felt something between his legs. Someone lived there that shouldn't be.
He closed his eyes tightly and calmed himself. He sighed and when he opened his eyes he looked sharply at the girl.
"I'll clean my wound," he said wrinkled.
He took the first aid kit in her hand but Phoebe quickly snatched it from him. She even took it away when he tried to grab it again.
“I'll clean it, don't be hardheaded.” She leered at him. “I just want to touch it! If you don't want then I'll just touch Caldwell's abs. Stinginess! ” She pouted at him before she leered again.
After Sawyer heard what she said he seemed to want to appeal but he restrained himself. He wanted to stop her but he was wondering. He's holding back himself for what reason? He doesn’t care who the hell she was touching at.
Sawyer sighed and let it be. He closed his eyes again. He feels weak. He wondered why he only felt that now, when he woke up earlier he only felt body pain.
Phoebe's every touch of cotton was light on his body which made him even more drowsy. He just let the darkness sweep him away while Phoebe cleaning his wounds.
"SAWYER?" Phoebe called Sawyer but when she looked at him she saw that his eyes were already closed. He's sleeping?
Sawyer's breathing was heavy, he was sound asleep. After Phoebe clean the wound on Sawyer's body she stared at him. He will clean the bruise on his face.
Even though he had a bruise on his face, he still very handsome. There is nothing that can match at his appearance.
"You are handsome. Does you have a girlfriend? Married?” she whispered before tracing her fingers through his nose. So pointed.
Phoebe felt envy for the first time. She envied the tip of his nose. Her nose is pointed too but Sawyer's nose shape is very perfect.
"I want to know what's really happened to you why you lose your memories. Ah, I think I can't sleep later remembering it." She continues to talk to the sleeping Sawyer. She couldn't help but to talk to him.
She apply lightly the cotton to his forehead, there was also a large scratch in there. On his cheek and on the left side of his head also have. There's hugeness size in his head. He put gauze on his head after cleaning it.
When she already finished, she got up and went to her room. Phoebe got a pillow and blanket for him. When she come out on her room she saw him almost fall over on his seat. Fortunately, she immediately catch his head. She put down the pillow and gently laid Sawyer down. She settle him before putting him her blanket.
"I'll cook for him first." She left him there then went to her small kitchen.
She took the ingredients and cut it expertly. Phoebe move quickly. Sawyer might wake up right away. She knew that he was too hungry.
Phoebe sang along while cooking. Every time she opened her mouth she will move her body too. She didn’t know why she was happy that day. She was excited to see Sawyer's reaction when he taste the food she was cooked. Phoebe cooked one of her favorite ginataang tilapia. That's one of her recipes that was favorite of her friends.
"What did you cook?"
Phoebe jumped in shock when someone suddenly speak behind her. Her eyes widened as she looked at food that she was cooking. Is he awake right away? She hasn't even finished cooking yet. Was she only a few minutes away from going to the kitchen? He wakes up so fast.
"Why ... are you awake already?" Phoebe couldn't help but stutter as she turned around and saw Sawyer's face meet her.
He was leaning from behind her, peeking at what she was cooking. She did not feel him enter the kitchen.
Sawyer saw her embarrassment earlier? Her eyes widened.
She shake her waist exaggeratedly a while ago, then her voice earlier she knew it wasn't in the tune. Phoebe distance her face when she feel blushed. Well she felt like her whole body was red with ashamed.
“Don't worry I didn't saw anything.” Sawyer was smirking at her.
At that's it, she know that he saw what she did a while ago. So embarrassing.
PHOEBE knows that she blushed even more. She turned her back on him to hide the redness of her face. Why does he even need to smirk? It's really embarrassing."Go back to the living room," she while pouting.When he didn't move from his position she faced him but that was probably her wrong decision. As she faced him their noses touched. His face was too close to her. They were both stunned, Phoebe can't move quickly especially Sawyer.They're staring each other for a minute. No one wants to blink, no one wants to move as well. As Sawyer's face slowly come close Phoebe's eyes widened. As their lips were about to meet she suddenly woke up on his dreamland. Phoebe pushed him away and step back that make him growl.Phoebe didn't know what to feel. Her whole face was red from what had happened. Why did she push him? That's so close! She could have tasted his lips.Her eyes almost went out of the widened because of what she thought.What the hell is she thinking? What the hell is she sayin
PHOEBE was just shocked to see Sawyer's face suddenly darken while frowning and stared at her lips.“Tsk! No thanks! ” He stood up and without saying something he came out of the kitchen.What happened to him again? He just always walks out. Is he a walk out king?Phoebe just scratched her head. Why did she seem so comfortable talking to him? Really? How many hours have they only know each other? She shook her head and just continued what she was doing.By night come Phoebe's face could no longer be painted. She used to be happy to help Sawyer but now she regrets that she helped him. She couldn't cope at his attitude. She is having a hard time handling him. He's arrogant and jerk.“Get off at my bed Sawyer! You will sleep on the couch. Agh! I'm sleepy!" she said that for several times but as if he heard nothing, he hugged her pillow and closed his damn eyes.She didn't care if he had a wound but she really didn't want to sleep next to him. She didn't want anyone to share with her bed.
Phoebe was walking happily in their town the next morning. After preparing Sawyer's breakfast she already left. She didn't waited him to wake up but she left a simple message for him."Good morning to all of you!" she greeted back to those who passed by her with a wide smile.“You look happy, Phoebe. Did something happened hmm? Your face is so bright,” said of a fat woman while carrying her cute baby girl.She smiled and approached them. She happily touched the child's cheek and gently squeezed it. She giggled when the baby pouted her lips because of what she did.“I am? Nothing happened Auntie, I'm just happy because the weather is so beautiful. Hello Shenay, did you eat already? You missed Pretty Phoeb? ” she spoke softly but still showing a wide smile on her lips.The children in Isla Berde called her Pretty Phoeb. And many young women on their Island, Phoebe was very different or special from them, that is what the elders of the Island have said.With just the color of her skin no
Caldwell approached her while rubbing his head. She motioned her others friend to go first. But before they left she warned them first.“You can only buy vegetables, fruits and fish, just like before. If you overdo it, I'll spank all of you. Do you get it?”The five snorted at once. They love to add to her purchases. They keep her away when she is in the market to add others merchandise or stock so Phoebe never try to leave them again. Sometimes she was late or just walks ahead, she was shock because they has already bought all their wants, their hands was very quick. They are so stubborn."I'm telling you," she threatened them.Suddenly they walked away from them while pouting. Phoebe confronted Caldwell. She sighed and adjusted Shenay's lift."Can I ..." She was embarrassed. She bite her lower lip then she bowed momentarily. When she looked up she stared him in the eyes. This was Caldwell’s weakness and all their friends knew it. “Can I borrow your clothes? Even if it's just a few,
UNTIL the three released Ziegler they were still laughing. Phoebe shake her head and picked up Shenay again. She walked away with them.She even had to go to Sawyer and tell him not to leave the room first. She also know that her friends were shameless when they suddenly entered her house without her permission. Like that as if it's their house protection.“I will just get dressed before I cook for you. I'm ashamed of you. You look like crazy for suspecting me. If you're just not my friends I will slap you 360°I swear guys,” she muttered and then she walk fast.When they reached the gate, Caldwell quickly opened it. She smiled. Yeah, this is one of a reason why she have a crush on him. He's a gentleman and everyone knows it. Even though his an abnormal, it does not lose his gentlemanliness."Thank you!"She pointed first the hut near her house. It's just in her garden, beside of the basketball ring.“You will stay there first. I will get dressed. ” Then she quickly left in front of th
A FEW minutes later, the three of them finished their cooking. Phoebe thankful that she cooked fast because of their helped.And she was just thankful that Sawyer didn't come out of her room. Maybe he could also hear the three of them talking in the kitchen so that he choose not to clamoured."Shall I call them?" Ziegler asked as he picked up the plates.She was momentarily stunned. She thought of something. If they ate here in the kitchen she would have a hard time getting to Sawyer. She know they'll watch her every move and she's sure that they will evesdrop. They putting her in the hard situation. Phoebe shook her head and pointed the plates.“No, you'll eat at the hut. Take it.”“Why not here?” Dewey asked confusedly.She rolled her eyes, “Shenay will wake up to your noises,” she stated.The two laugh while picking up the plates and other utensils. They are abnormal. They still seem proud of their noises."Wait, I think I heard something like we're noisy? Who's little bunny who
AFTER the three of them ate, Phoebe brought the food to the kitchen and then told Sawyer to watch over Shenay first because she was going to take the six to the hut."Just make it fast. Come back right away," he said.She could do nothing but nod at what he said. She didn't know why Sawyer was saying that. She didn't just complain at him because he will definitely wouldn't make lose. He's a hardheaded also.Even though they only met yesterday, she seemed to know him immediately. She could not understand herself why it was so easy for her to obey him."Are you finished?" she asked immediately after entering the hut.She shook her head to see that they were still holding their plates. It was really good and she cooked a lot of rice. She knew as much as she could not satisfy them in the slightest when their favorite was the one she cooked.Her tinula was also one of their favorite. If only that was their dish everyday, they would prefer it but nothing tastes better than her cooking. She
THE next morning Phoebe woke up because of the fragrant smell that came from somewhere. She sat up from her bed and scobs her eyes.“Is anyone cooking? Why does the smell reach this far?” she yawned then got up from her bed.She was about to wake Sawyer when she saw that he was not there on the sofa. Phoebe forehead furrowed. Where is that man now? She was suddenly confused. She hurried out of the room, regardless of her appearance."Sawyer Zane?" she calls him.At five o'clock in the afternoon, she and Sawyer delivered Shenay in their house. The man stayed far away from Aling Gali's house. She also wanted to introduce Sawyer here but she thought not to. She would first introduce Sawyer to her friends before them.No one answered her when she called his name so Phoebe was even more nervous. Where is the man? She went out of her house venturing that he was only there for the sun but she did not see even a shadow of him."Sawyer?" she called him again but still no one answered.What if
