His Cure

“what comes to your mind right now?”he leaned on the wall, few miles away from her.

She squinted her eyes before scrunching up her nose.

“I.. don’t get.”she smiled nervously.

“The position we are right now does rings a bell, no?”he gazed at her raptly.

“Uhm??.. I am not quite sure. I’m sorry for.. entering your room.. I.. I would like to leave now.”she made to leave.

“Your first day in my house at the lake. You went inside my room without permission and you saw me coming out of the bathroom. Still don’t remember?”he said when she got to where he was.

She stopped walking and cleared her throat.

She stared at the curtains and huffs lowly.

“How does the past connect with the present?”she scoffed without looking at him.

“Of course. It doesn’t. I just like to recollect memories.”he smiled.

She rolled her eyes before walking past him to the door.

She banged it closed and scoffed.

How did she even made the mistake to go to his room?

His room stood out among the others quite well but maybe because she was in a hurry, she didn’t got the time to study the rooms well.

She moved downstairs and met the maids still standing there.

“Welcome, miss Beatrice. We would be at..”

“Pause. Just pretend I am not here. Thank you.”she flashed a smile at them.

The guards moved her stuffs inside the house and went to drop it in George’s room, unknowingly to her.

Alyssa chuckled.

She was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed.

“They have to offer you their greetings, girlfriend. If not, they won’t be allow to leave there.”she rests her head on her hand which was relaxed on the armrest, watching the scene.

Beatrice’s mouth dropped in shock.

“Is it that hard?. I mean.. why.. is that compulsory.. forceful?”

“Because that was an order from your husband. You’re his dear wife after all so, he obviously won’t stand anyone disrespecting you.”she explained.

Beatrice scoffs.

“And I don’t want that. Go and do your work, please.”she said to them but they shook their heads.

“Just let them offer the greetings to you and get out, if you really wanna help them. It’s that simple.”

Beatrice was still stunned.

Is this how the rich oppress the poor?

“Greet me then. That sounds so weird.”she laughed.

..

Zack laid on his bed face up, staring at the band in his hand.

He stroke it gently and smiled.

“Too bad you’re taken.”he sighed.

He smiled at the pink thing and wore it on his head.

When his heart opened, it does for a girl he cannot have.

He took his lips in cutely and shut his eyes.

“I wish I will get over you.”

..

Alyssa left after a while and Beatrice took the stairs up.

She opened the room next to Gregory’s but she found it empty. She opened the next one and she still didn’t found her luggages in there.

She checked all the rooms and she grumbled.

Where did they took her boxes to then?

A maid appeared and bowed.

“Are you looking for something, ma’am?”she inquired, politely.

“Oh, yeah. Do you have any idea of the place where my belongings were dropped?”she stood akimbo.

“Your husband’s room, ma’am. If you are looking for anything in the future, feel free to call onto me or the other maids.”she smiled.

Beatrice’s mouth twitched.

Fuck no…

“Alright, sure. Many thanks, miss.”she said to the maid.

The maid bowed and high – tailed away.

Beatrice stood awestruck on the spot.

How does she go about retrieving her belongings from his room?

She just do not think she is ready fo face him again.

She eventually mustered some courage to face him.

She puffed out some air and sauntered to his room.

She stood in front of the door and heaved out before placing a knock on it.

As expected, he didn’t give any response.

She knocked again.

Still no reply.

“It’s me Beatrice, can I come in?”she finally speak up.

“Okay.”his reply was two edged.

Okay – You’re Beatrice, but stay there.

Okay – Since you’re Beatrice, come in.

But, she pushed the door in and stepped inside anyway.

She shuts the door loudly behind her and sighed.

“I came to pick my things up. I think they brought it here by mistake.”she informed.

“Hmm. he nodded.

He was engrossed in whatever he was doing on his phone.

Hmph.

She dragged her stuffs to the next two rooms.

She arranged her things in there and settled down on the bed after she was done.

She logged inside her Instagram account and saw that she has a new message.

She tapped on the message box and saw it was a message from Zack.

What does he wants again?

‘Hi?.’

She rolled her eyes to the side before texting him back.

‘I already paid you back for what you did for me, didn’t I?’

She went to her news feed to check out the latest news.

Her phone pings as a notification of a new message came in.

Uggh.. it’s Zack again.

She bit her lower lip before checking it out.

‘You didn’t think a mere head band would settle it, do you?’

He puts a smiley emoji behind his message.

She scoffs.

‘Now, you’re a bad man?. You def. said that would be all.’

‘That was what I thought too. But, that doesn’t settle anything within me. How about you pay me in this one way?’

‘Gggg. I’m out.’

‘Believe me, this would solve it all at once.’

‘Oof! Hit me with it then.’

‘A date. Go on a date with me.’

Huhhh???

She stared at the screen in disbelief.

A date?!!!

Is he insane??

‘That doesn’t sounds good. I’m going to be getting married soon enough and.. should we get caught going out together.. you know what the outcome would be.’

‘Friends do go out on a date, don’t they?. Or, do you see me as a shameless man that has ulterior motives?’he sent.

‘Just an hour stuff. Send me the date, venue and time.’

‘Today by 7pm. I will send you the address later.’

She took a breath in and swallowed hard before typing,

‘Sure then.’
