It's been ten days since Peace's first encounter with the man she call Browny, during that time, she will occasionally drop by and check on his health. Because of the ever righteous and immaculate favour, peace was forced to make it has an oath to keep her romantic intensions on hold until he recovers.
And to make that possible, peace kept her distance by not going into the hospital room. She will just peek inside and then she will leave.However, this particular day peace didn't hesitate to enter were he was resting as if it was her home. Glancing at the man, he was leaning his back on the beds headboard and had his eyes on her figure.The moment she entered the room and until she dropped herself on the couch not far from the bed, he just kept staring at her without saying anything."Don't worry, I won't eat you today", without looking at him peace could feel his eyes on her so she defended herself."I am not worrying, I am wondering why you are here", blinking once, he responded. His tone was flat unlike that night and their conversation days ago.By the looks of it , this was what it truly was. A stiff, boring guy who was too honest for his own good. Yet, peace could never care less. She had encountered a variety of weirdo's and meeting another one wasn't that if a big deal to her."You're wondering why I go to places I am paying for?" Peace stretched and tilted her head back that was resting on the sofa armrest, by this she could see him, although upside-down."Don't get too cocky, Browny. I still pay for this room and all your fees since you can't pay for it just yet", closing her eyes, peace muttered as blunt as possible.For some reason, peace wasn't as cheerful or playful just like the usaul. She seem tired and slightly queit which was more intriguing to him."Roy, my name is Roy ", He corrected. He doesn't have a say to her other statement as she was doing him a huge favour for financing his medical bills and needs."Don't hear you", obviously lying, peace responded as her shoulders relaxed. She preffered the nickname she had given him just because it sounded cute, at least to her, it sounded cute.After that last remarks, silence resounded across every corner of the hospital room. Roy, not saying anything yet, continued to stare at her unmoving head."Is she sleeping?",he wondered inwardly.Slowly, the man carefully assisted himself out of bed. Dragging the IV stand with him, he carefully approached the unmoving figure.As soon as he drew closer, the man saw an angelic sleeping face. If she is like this, one would think how pure and innocent she was.However, after the dangerous stunt she pulled, the time she preffered his service. Roy will not be deceived at how kind she is looked when sleeping.As the man looked at her,he sniffed which made him drew a little bit closer to her. But, just as he head was just a ruler away from hers, he instantly retracted his head why waving his hand in front of his nose as she reeked of alcohol.Just then, a loud ring broke the silence around and caused her at slowly open her eyes. As she regained her vision, she saw a pair of reddish brown eyes looking at her."You really have nice eyes", without short notice, no pause and hints, peace said as she stared at him, particularly his eyes."Your phone", instead of falling for her compliment, he reminded as the ringing continued."Ohh..." Snapping back to reality, peace rolled her body to her side with great difficulty, reaching for her phone on the back pocket of her jeans.When she successfully pulled her phone out, peace didn't check the caller as she answered almost immediately."my friend"."Happy birthday, peace". Favour's lively voice came from the other end of the phone. "Wait , are you drunk?", Instantly her cheerfulness vanished as she distinguished the difference in peace's voice."I am not. I am not drunk but I had a few drinks"," Peace" A heavy sigh escaped from favors lips as she frowned. It was peace's 25 birthday today and yet, Favour as usual couldn't celebrate with her as she was in the country side, celebrating her father's birthday.That's why she is always celebrate with peace next day or days after the birthday when finally they were less busy. Still, she felt bad for not being with her for her birthday all the time."Yeah, feel bad you heartless friend would be sentiments, peace sabotage it by living her sarcastic humor."Uh... Peace how could you do that?" Frustrated Favour didn't take it to the heart but instead, but instead she humored back."Because you disturb my sleep. Anyways, I am catching up as much sleep as I can before my leave would end ", peace chuckled and listened to whatever Favour said before the call ended.As soon as she cut the line short, peace tossed her phone to her feet and turned her head to the side, arching her brows that Roy sat at the opposite couch."Hey, do you want to eat out?" Without further ado, peace inquired which made him crease his brows. He felt that peace's mouth most have spil the wrong words."Apparently","My treat", just before he could refuse, peace offered and without batting an eyes, the man responded."Alright",On the top roof of the hospital where the man was admitted, Vincent glazed at the unhealthy foods peace had ordered for. There was a box of pizza, can beers and other snacks. A deletable only for those who weren't conscious of thier health and definitely not a patient like him. Since Vincent Roy could not go outside yet, peace came up with this bright idea of eating out. Out in the cold rooftop of the hospital. Hence, she wheeled him up to the toproof after she stucked those foods and illegal beverages. "Mmm....", Peace chewed the soft dough of pizza as she closed her eyes in bliss. Just by eating she was delighted to the extent that her cheeks flushed. Meanwhile Vincent Roy glazed at the food placed on the toproof railing and then to peace who had her elbows resting on the railing, a slice of half eaten pizza on her right hand, and a can of beer on her left hand. He pursed his lips on a thin lin
Happy birthday to me-Happy birthday to me-Happy birthdayHappy birthdayHappy birthday to me-. Peace sang herself a birthday song while slowly clapping her hand to it's beat.Earlier after their short birthday celebration on the toproof, peace turned to her small bag. From there , from there Vincent watched her reveal a slice of loaf bread that she had bought from the convenience store. Followed by a small candle and a lighter. Now she was singing her self and ear piercing birthday song with the loaf bread as her cake . How pitiful. "Time to wish!!! Hmmmm...", Excited to make a wish, which she was certained would always remaind as a wish. Peace closed her eyes, linked her hands together in front of her, and then pressed her lips into a meek smile. Vincent settled his eyes on this carefree lady. His assumptions that he was entangled with a con never wavered. However, for
So your name is Vincent Roy, hum?". peace muttered as she turned and walked backwards, her eyes on his blank yet still elegant visage. Vincent though been given his clean bills of health, struggled to walk properly. His every steps laced with discretion not to pressure his healing wounds. "Hmmmm", he hummed as a response, his eyes glanced at the inquiring pairs of eyes before him. It has been days since he introduced himself but yet , peace never for once called him by his name. Aside from Browny, she would usually call him'hey', or just"you" . So this was the first time that his name would come out from her lips. "Sounds familiar," peace pressed her lips together as she shrugged her shoulders before pivoting her heels, thereby walking well again. Vincent remained silent as he gazed at her shoulders. "Actually......" Just as he was about to suggest why it had sounded to familiar
"Not bad,eh?". Glancing at the apartment complex, peace nodded."Thank you", Vincent glanced over at the car where peace stood , outside the drivers seat."You want to come inside?". Seeing that she was staring at him, he raised his brows and invited or rather asked. "Come inside? Why?". Peace blinked her eyes many times as she tilted her head to one side. Her response made him pressed his lips together as he didn't expect that. Considering her personality, Vincent was certain that she would have agreed without a second hesitation, yet she didn't. Was this one of her tricks ? Does she want him to insist?. "I might be a little too pushy but still I do know my limits.... sometimes", saying that her lips stretched into a grin. Despite her attraction towards this very dashing man, peace couldn't just enter a man's place, especially if she didn't truly know the man yet. After
"Master...." Samuels confused words trailed off when he had a glimpse of his boss jaw clenched. That instant he knew what to do, hide and don't show himself until the person outside was gone . Hence without anyother word he went and hide himself inside his bedroom. Meanwhile, Vincent's brows kept on twitching as he approach the entrance. He had never hesitated in making decisions in his life before but however this time he did. Should he open the door or he should pretend not to be home? The headache peace had given him was quite stronger than he could have ever imagined. His chest heaved with conflicting emotions, yet his hand moved reaching for the doorknob before he unwilling pulled the door open. As soon as he did, peace, her pair of twinkling eyes and the very large grin on her face welcomed him. "Neighbor?". Exasperated, he cast her a dull look. Just be his expression, peace could read
Vincent was left with tons of questions as he dragged his feet back inside. As he walked back, he knitted his brows and picked up the phone she had brought in for him. He examined the phone around to see if there was anything weird in it, but fortunately for him be found none. Relieved he turned it on and perched on the living area. When the screen finally lightened up Vincent's brows twitched. What welcomed his eyes was a selfies of peace that was used as the wallpaper of the phone. Why was he even supprised?. "Let's see...". He murmured as he began to go through the phone and see whatever supprise she had left inside the phone for him Going through the contact list there was only one contact the was saved in the phone, obviously she has saved it has "my darling" great. Vincent then went to the photo gallery and as expected, the are a few photos of her that she had taken earlier, she wore the same cl
"Thank you" peace grinned upon seeing his reply, she had expected that he wouldn't respond to her . But we'll, he wasn't as cold as she had assumed he was. "How cute", she whispered through her curled lips. Images of his displeased front earlier flashed across her mind, which made her giggle . "Vincent Roy, what a coincidence". Peace murmured as the thought that he would have the same name as that business man. If not for the fact that she has had a glimpse of the "shorty" Vincent Roy, peace would assume that the man was just a walking bank with his look. She would be glad and not at the same time because if that's the case, peace could take advantage of him for another breakthrough E&E. However, even if he was not the same man, getting to date him three times would be enough for her . After all, peace was certain that in those three dates ho would like her and then she will lose interest in
Peace arrived at E& R group and immediately packed her car in the parking space. This was her home, she lived right inside the building. And the reason she had given "too far from work" was nothing but the pure truth. Although she was interested in Vincent but she wasn't stupid enough to make herself unnecessary trouble by moving next to his apartment. Moreover the already shook him by her aggressive teasess , so she was afriad that he might end up running away from her. Just as peace departed from her car she saw a figure leaning on another packed car from the corner of her eyes. Arching her brows, she turned to the figure that was already approaching her. "What the heck?". Peace shuddered as the person's appearance got closer. "What does he want now?". She murmured to herself before she forced a fake smile on her lips and didn't conceal his insincerity.
