Episode 5
Her alluring lashes fluttered conquettishly along with the curl of her lips . With their short distance, he got a whiff of her subtle and yet delectable scents of vanilla. "I can pay you", he said, drawing his throbbing head back, away from the tips of her fingers on his chin. "Really?" Retracting her fingers. Peace tilted her head to the side. "From the consumption of feul, the interior upholstery of my car, car wash fee, laundry of my damaged clothes and labor, you will pay for all of them right?", Peace arched her right brow as her gaze was glued on his undeniable great facial features. "Yes, including the medical bills", sounding as if he was just in the middle of a formal settlement, the man slightly nodded his head. However, as expected peace wouldn't let it go just like that. This time, she leaned a little closer why her lips curled into a doubtful smile. "Really? Plus an added interest of 30 percent?", Although the man felt dizzy, he still remained composed on the surface. However, his dey and pale lips betrayed him, revaeling how weak he was at the moment. Regardless, he could not let this woman to take advantage of him just for their peace of mind. Hence, despite the coldness that began to seep through his nerves, he still accommoded her. Little did he know, it was naive of him to consider that peace would want anything called peace of mind. Even if her name was peace she never lived her life anywhere close to peaceful, it has always been tough due to business and all, and till now she still didn't think that peace of mind was something interesting. "No, 10 percent ", he calmly refused and negotiated." I would have complained with your demands, but however due to the name you used in my admission form, I believe I have to negotiate.Upon hearing his straight-laced response, peace was quite surprised. Clearly he is in his vulnerable state, that was the reason why she was taking advantage of the situation. Werther he has the ability to pay her with cash or not, it doesn't really matter to her. If he could pay, that was a good thing to her. But if he has financial problems it would only add to her dominance."Mister, aren't you a little bit ungrateful to your herione?", As shameless as she was, peace feigned disappointed before she leaned forward, removing the gaps that was between them again."I thought you were more clever. Say, how about the trauma you caused me last night? Trespassing into someone's property and taking them as you hostage..... Is money really enoughfor the emotional and mental damages ?", Peace said as a fake sigh escaped her lips."After all, I didn't get the chance to sleep yesterday night, just because I was afriad it would happen again", frowning, Peace's gaze never for once left his pair of russet eyes that were scanning her profile.The man weakly gulped, in his mind the woman before him was a knowledgeable and professional con. She wasn't even concealing whatever conceited intentions she had. Hence, the Man gravitated on how to deal with her why keeping silence."Hmmm, and it is very rude of you to throw money at someone who helped you , even after all this", slowly peace narrowed her eyes as her gaze traveled from his face down to his neck and upper physique.Nodding in satisfaction, peace then returned her eyes back to his humorless russets eyes."But you know, I always prefers people's service.... " She said as a sly glint flashed across her face, as it oozed with mischief.Just then, favour sent the medical professionals off and also, took their last reminders and returned to the room. As Soon as she stepped her foot inside, favour instantly heard Peace's last remarks which caused her eyes to widen and her ears to flap.Turning her head to the bed, there favour distinguished what it was that her friend was doing. The predator had sharpen her claws to devour her prey after fattening him up."Hey , hey hey", favour prompted to the bed. The moment she approached peace, she held her on the shoulders and pulled her back from the poor guy."Sorry about my friend ", favour awkwardly chuckled as she apologized in her friends behalf."She is just a little bit tired since she haven't slept since yesterday. Anyways you need to rest , doctors note. She awkwardly added before casting a peace a warning look.Peace immediately frown at her friend for meddling. She was just starting to catch fun and then she intervened with a bummer."Let's go, P?", Pulling peace by her shoulder. Peace widen her eyes as she grinned, showing her teeth. Her expression was screaming'peace have mercy on the sick man', which obviously peace read correctly."Bummer", peace murmured as she helplessly complied and followed her friend outside the room."Peace, see I know he is your type, but can you move your exploit till when he recovers?". Favour whispered to her friend on their way out.Favour pitted the man because not only had she name him Browny brown on the admission form, he has to experience Peace's seduction in his state."He just regained consciousness and he most still be in shock with whatever you proposed", favour sighed heavily as she knew the extent peace capabilities."In shock? You think he is an innocent victim? Casting her friend a side glance, peace pursed her lips. After their short conversation, the man's temperament and how he causlly response to her despite his current state piqued her interest."No, but say whatever you want to say if he recovers, okay? In that case, you can settle it with a good conscience." Favour sighed in distress. She didn't think too much in her friends questions because peace had always been like that."Yeah, yeah yeah. Whatever", only peace shurgged her shoulder until they completely left the hospital room.Meanwhile as the two ladies were whispering to each other why taking their leave, the man particularly had his eyes on Peace's back side.Although she appeared like a simple woman, wearing a thick black hoodie jacket, jeans, sneakers and wore a light makeup, the man believed that she wasn't as simple as she had appeared today."Service..." He murmured when the door finally slid close. After a second, the side of his lips curled into a subtle smirk as an unreadable glint flashed across his eyes."What a weird con"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"
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
