Chapter 4 Sister Annie
Larry moved out of the surgery room and moved to the restroom.
He stood in front of the mirror and removed the glove he was wearing then dumped it in the trash.
He opened the tap and put his hand under the rushing water and started rubbing his hand over another, washing his hands.
He also removed his mask and threw it inside the trash.
His stomach made a troubled sound and he sighed.
He’s really hungry.
Thank God he sent her home earlier.
She would have probably prepare some food for him.
He walked out of the room.
And, talking of her, he haven’t ask her about her name and he possibly can’t keep on calling her little miss.
He bumped into Sam and scoffed.
“Don’t know you’ve suddenly went blind.”Larry said rudely.
Sam sighed and just walked away.
He isn’t ready to throw tantrums with him this night, ever again even.
Larry headed out of the hospital to the the garage.
John had returned after dropping Annie off at home.
He met him sitting by the car, already dozing off.
Larry stopped walking and stared at him as his head fell to the back.
The chair two front legs went off the floor and he immediately fell down.
Larry stifled a laugh.
The little event seems to woke John up as his eyes snapped opened and when he realized he was laying on the floor, he quickly got up.
His heart jumped out of bus chest when he saw Larry.
Oh, no no. He was going to deduct from his salary again, oh no.
Larry just sighed and rolled his eyes.
He got inside the car without replying John’s greeting.
*Well, that’s unusual.*John silently thought.
But he knows that Larry is certainly going to deduct from his salary.
God!, why did he have to sleep off.
He quickly entered the driver’s seat so as not to keep him waiting.
His heart beat was rapid with fear.
He’s not saying anything, but he might be thinking about a new way to punish him.
He ignited the engine and drove off.

Larry got down from the car before John went to park and hurried towards the house.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
He opened the door and as he closed it, he caught sight of sleeping Annie.
As if that wasn’t enough, she was sleeping on his couch, his favorite couch.
Her two legs were sprawled apart, one was carelessly dangling on the air and one was placed across the chair.
Larry’s chest itches.
What the heck in hell?.
He took short steps towards her and looked into her face.
His heart hardened the more.
He felt like kicking her off his couch that moment, but, he possibly couldn’t do that.
She’s a lady and he hate treating ladies roughly.
Well, he would make sure to give her an earful when she wakes up.
He went to the kitchen and found it just the way he left it.
Nothing changed.
A loud bell sounded in his ear.
He rushed to the pots and opened them after one another and found it empty.
What the….?
Then, what the hell has she been doing all this while?….
Sleeping?!, perhaps.
She didn’t clean the living room, even the kitchen!.
He ran out and straight out and to her.
He raised up his hand, ready to smack her legs which was sprawled over the couch but she suddenly mumbled something in her sleep and that made him to stop.
“Hmmmm… I miss you grumpy Rico…”she mumbled and smiled.
A drool was on her mouth. It made her lips looks more tempting and wet.
Larry breathed in exasperation as he stared at her beautiful face.
He raised his hand down and glared at her before moving up to his room.
He was going to sleep with empty stomach again tonight.
He would surely vent his anger on her tomorrow.
She would definitely regret not cooking for him.
He walked inside his room and slumped on his bed.
He really does not have any energy in him to pull off his clothes.
He turned off the lights and put the lights stand on.

#Next morning
Larry took the stairs down and rubbed his eyes then yawned hungrily.
Oh, he’s so famished right now.
The aroma of some fresh stew hit his nostrils and he smiled as he walked to the kitchen with his eyes closed.
“Doctor, please.., my mom, she’s fine now, right?.”Annie’s voice rang in his ears.
His eyes snapped opened immediately.
Annie’s face popped up in front of him and he folded his arms.
Punishment time.
“I’m sorry. I also slept off last night and apparently, I forgot to perform the surgery on your mom, I’m sorry.”Larry yawned.
He smiled inwardly when he saw her expression.
“Whaaat?…. you slept off?!.”she yelled.
“Oh, calm down, little miss. You also slept off last night and didn’t pre….”
“Shut it, you damn doctor!. My mom better not be dead it else, I will cut you open and feed your lungs to the dogs!.”she threatened as she pointed the knife she was using in slicing the onions at him.
Larry became frightened, but, he wasn’t going to show her that.
“Empty threats, little miss, empty threats.”he smirked.
Annie charged towards him and pinned him to the wall.
Woah. That happened so fast.
She raised the knife up to his chest and said amidst gritted teeth; “don’t tempt me, doctor, don’t!.”
Okay, and that was it.
“I was only joking!. I was just trying to get back at you!. I didn’t mean it that way!.”he quickly said.
Annie smirked.
Hmm… a little display of her craziness could help anyways.
She grinned seeing the look on his face.
“You look like a frightened little boy.”she said as she went back to resume the onion she was slicing.
“Just like you said, it was just an empty threat.”she said, her back was turned to him.
“But that definitely frightened you, oh, such a weakling!.”she added with a laugh.
Larry stared at her with an expressionless face.
Should he just kill her?.
He suddenly became really embarrassed.
He cleared his throat.
“Well, I think your mother didn’t exactly tell you that you greet an elder person first before talking about anything else.”
“Oh. Cut the crap. I’m way older than you.”she rolled her eyes and gave him a quick glance.
“Lie!. I’m older than you.”
“How old are you then doctor.”Annie said sarcastically.
“I’m twenty four years, get that stuck in your fu*king brain!.”
“Ooh. Then, let me burst your brain. I’m twenty seven years old, which means I’m three years older than you.”Annie smirked and turned to him.
“So, from now on, you should call me sister Annie, hmm, got that?.”
