His Crazy Maid

“Wake up, Annie. I brought some brownies.”a voice said, obstructing her dream.

She stirred and mumbled some words.

“Yes.. yes, I….”she was saying but suddenly opened her eyes to see Larry’s face so close to hers.

Her eyes widened.

He pecked her on her lips and rubbed his nose on her neck.

“You’re finally awake. You must be really stressed out. You literally slept the day off.”

“Wait…. wait… that was all a dream?”she scoffed.

Larry stood properly.

“Did something happened?”

“Of course. And you don’t have to be such a kill joy!”Annie almost shouted.

She earned a perplexed look great Larry.

She got down from the bed.

She was putting on a pink top and trouser.

Larry was putting on the same cloth only that his was blue.

Annie slipped her legs inside her floppy slippers and grabbed the plate of the brownies Larry brought.

“But then. That was one of a million – the dream. I mean… God!. Why did you have to wake me up. I would still be savoring the good moment not if you didn’t wake me up. Ggggg!”she gritted and picked up a brownie in the plate then took a hefty bite.

“What?. You came in contact with a man far more better than me in your dream?. So, now, you planned to dump me, right?”Larry said.

Annie smiled while munching on the brownie.

“Well….”she gulped down the contents in her mouth and picked another one.

“You’re sure a whine baby”she dropped the brownie in her mouth.

“I hate it when you refer me as whine baby, pink face. Why not call me other sweet names?”

“Oh, I see. Sweet names as in handsome bozo, nice prick, sexy stupid?. Sexier!”she laughed.

“Now, I really hate you..”he frowned.

She lunges closer to him.

“Love me more stupid sexier, love me more for your own good.”

“Your really a bad girlfriend.”

“You can say that again… sexy stupid”she threw him a wink and scattered his hair playfully.

Larry stood there, stunned.

After a while, he finally regains himself.

“Now, I think you’ve really charmed me, fine little miss. How chance is it that I’m always left stunned when you do that…”

“Do what?”she asked, dropping the plate in her hand on the table.

“You know, pinkie. Don’t tryna feign innocence”

“Well, probably because you love me!. My touch is like that of fairytale. It electrifies anyone that came in contact with it.”

Larry scoffed.

He watched as she arranged her things on her dressing table.

The room was then silent.

“I had a dream, Larry.”she started. Her back was facing him.

“Go on…”he prodded.

“So, i had a dream that you proposed to me. Including the other guys – Garry, Skyler and Boyd. You all proposed to us.”

Larry didn’t utter any word.

Then, finally, he said,

“That’s… ridiculous. And… well, somehow impossible also”he pressed his lips together.

“And, to say the other guys just spent a few months in their love journey also adds to it.”

Annie turned to him. She was holding a mirror in her head.

“It doesn’t matter. Love is really powerful. It flips. It can turn a wicked soul to a mild one. It doesn’t really matter. So far they love each other. However, it’s not now far, but how well. There love is reasonable..”

“And ours?. Not reasonable?”

“Oh my God, Larry. You just find a way to turn the table over. I didn’t say that!”Annie exclaimed.

“It sounds more like it tho..”Larry said.

Annie gazed at him and then, he suddenly smiled.

“Was joking!”he laughed.

Annie rolled her eyes.

“You’re pretty bad at joking.”she pointed out.

“Yeah?. I will back.”he said and went out.

When she was done doing her stuff, she took the plate and went to drop it in the sink in the kitchen.

She walked out and bumped into Larry in the living room.

“Take this”he said as handed her a bag.

She collected it.

“What’s inside?”

“Check. We have a party tonight. I’m going out now and I would be back. Don’t miss me too much”he said jokingly.

“I never miss you”she retorted.

“Oh. Remember when I went on a long strip and when I came back?. Say that again, lil miss. You never miss me.”he added the last part with a tone of sarcasm.

She pulled his left ear.

“Learn to respect me, young man!”

“Ow, I’m sorry ma’am. So sorry, crazy ma’am!”he winced.

She pulled his ear harder.

“Alright, alright. Sorry, the heart of Larry, sorry?. I just gotta go now.”he smiled.

That was when she left him.

“Satisfied, huh?”he scoffed but he ran away before she would take hold of him again.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

When he was gone, Annie opened the bag in her hand and saw a red dress inside.

There was a short note on it.

*I Red You. I Always Will*

She smiled and couldn’t help but blush.

This is just it. The little she asked. Just to be loved. And this is exactly what is happening. Her wish did came true.

She touched the dress.

“Nice silk..”she muttered.

Her heart leapt in joy when she brought out the cloth from the bag a little.

It is nice. So nice.

She clutched it to her chest and smiled.
