Chereads / Burnt / Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

So here we are in my car. And actually, we're going to the temporary house of those people whom I've helped. You know it might be a good thing if I showed her to them. Idk, but I have the gut feeling she will like it there.

"Where are we even going?"

"You'll see"

After a minute, she was stunned at what she saw. And yeah, we're here at La Casa De Rosa. And people are already here, they moved already since designing and working with the interior is not that hard. Also, the place is already clean. I hired some caregivers and guards to look after the people.

"Wait, What's this?"

"There are over 300 peoples living in this beautiful mansion. Including kids and senior citizens. Kinda great right?"

She was dumbfounded at what I said. Well, I don't know why she's like that though.

"wa-wait, this doesn't make any sense...whats...what's this? I mean yes, I know what this is...but I never thought you did this....wait...my mind is initializing I dont..just what is?????"

~~~~~

Gosh, I can't believe it, is this even true? He did it for real....unbelievable...this guy is unbelievable.....

We were walking in the hallway while people are greeting us. Some people are very recognizable. Means I had seen them somewhere. Well, you know homeless? So like I'm everywhere.

"Bro North, here flower...thank you very much, your so kind"

I looked at the North. And see...he's not that a cold guy you think he is wow..look at how his eyes melted while looking at the kid and gave him a flower.

"Thank you so much..."

Then the kid ran away...

"Wow this felt weird I was the one who was given a flower. When supposedly it's you ahahaha."

And wow! He knows how to laugh! So cute. Ok, pull yourself together self.

"What?"

"Ah eh...nothing..."

"So yeah here, I made a housing for the people as what you've said. It took me a few weeks and here it is. This mansion looks alive now, when before it looked like a haunted house. And there's a rose garden there, it looked like a maze..its very beautiful here.."

And he became talkative wow. In fairness ah, It's been a long time since we last met and now he changed a lot. It creeps me out but it's so nice at least he's not the same as before.

"Well, at least it changes you a little North. I'm happy for you to have achievements now...and the people here love you. I can see it..."

"Well, it's not like that... I mean yeah it changed me a bit...maybe this is what they called happiness? I feel so satisfied with it. "

"So like you're gonna put me here? Like I'm gonna live here??"

"What?"

"You brought me here. So probably you wanted me to stay here...."

"Well...about that.....actually...--"

"Yep..well it's actually fine for me. There are lots of people and kids..and.."

"Let me finish alright?"

Oops hehe...I thought he was finished...

"Let's just go to the garden first ok?"

"Ah yeah"

We were walking around the and there was a garden of roses here and it looked like a maze. Wow cool.Like OMG...it's so beautiful....ok.....

I ran towards the flowers and smelled them.

"Oh gosh, this is heaven..."

"Well. I guess you like it here even more....."

"Huh? Why?"

"I want to......"

....

"I want you to live with me"

.....

*bird chirps*

"what? maybe I misheard what is it again?"

"I want you to live with me..."

"Are you crazy?"

"No, I'm not, I'm sane"

"Why are you asking me that?"

"Because I want you to live with me, I don't want you to live here. You're a special case."

"And why?"

"I just want to"

Is he crazy? For real??

"You don't have to work anymore, ill pay for your school, ill give you everything you need. Won't you like that? I will do the same for the people too..if you want... I will give them everything they need.."

"Why are you being like this North? I'm confused. Why are you doing this?"

"I- I don't know...."

Then he looked down.

So he didn't find it yet? What are the reasons why he did this and asked me out of the blue?

"I just want you to live with me...that's all...because...."

"Ahahahaha...ok ok....I'll agree with your offer no more but's or whats' it would be a waste if I deny it right?"

His face lit up. Man, he looked like a child. He's so handsome oh please stop me from pinching his cheeks.

"REALLY???"

"oh yeah of course "

"Ok then let's go let's get your things"

Then he hurried back to his car. Wow, excited?

~~~~~~

Man, I can't believe she said yes. I mean yea, I didn't give her a proper explanation why I needed her to live with me. Actually, I don't know exactly. Maybe I just want to know a lot of things from her. You know, when she said I should help those people I have a lot of realization. I felt genuine happiness for the first time. And the flower the kid gave me. My heartfelt so warm. I couldn't take it, it's very heartwarming. Dude, I felt their adoration towards me.

And this girl beside me. I don't know....maybe I want to feel something from her. I don't know what it is but I guess I'm near that.

"Let's go to the ice cream shop that I worked. My things are in there I left it"

"Ok..."

We went to the ice cream shop and the staff was looking at us. And her manager? She looked at me.

"Do you really need to quit Amy?"

"Eh...well actually...something came up so....."

"But you're our lucky charm here..don't leave, please? I will double your pay I swear...."

Wow...i think everybody in this place might adore her a lot that her manager pleaded to the point.

"Well...maybe you can just quit your other jobs. And I guess everybody loves you here so. Maybe you know...dont quit it here its fine.."

"Well yeah, that's true your boyfriend has a point...."

"Ah..eh ???? ahh..he's not my boyfriend he's my friend...ehehe"

"Come on Amy don't be shy no need...ahahahaha"

"Ah..eh ano...ok ill just quit my other jobs, and yeah maybe keep on working here..."

"Ok yes! I can't stand to see our lucky charm leaving the shop..."

"I'm no lucky charm..."

She whispered but I clearly hear it.

"What?"

"Ahh nothing, can I take my things already?"

"I'll go get it"

~~~

"Wow..amy ah. It seems like you hit jackpot now"

"Manager, he's really not my boyfriend come on"

"Oh gosh, you were just. Good catch kid...ahahaha"

"Ayy whatever"

"It's all here. Why is it only a few of it?"

"Just let it be North, I don't want to spend a lot of money..uh miss manager we're going ahead now.. bye"

"Ok...ok just update me about your love life ok? ahahahaha"

"Oh please, gosh byeeee"

I thought I'm going crazy about my manager's assumptions.

"Anyways why are there only a few shirts and dresses you have?"

"Remember North I'm poor"

"Then let's go buy you something. It's on me so no need to worry. What kind of clothing do you want?"

"Anything. I'm not choosy anyway"

"Ok"

We went to a mall and guess what I almost choked because we went to a very expensive boutique. And I'm pretty sure the prices are very EXPENSIVE. and he just chooses whatever he sees. Without even asking me. Well, I'm not choosy so anything is ok.

He even bought sandals, rubber shoes at my size, and doll shoes. He even bought oversized shirts, jogging pants, crop tops, and any girly outfit he sees. And he also bought a bag or bags.

"Ahh North, I think It's already enough. It's too many..."

"You sure?"

"Ahh yeah..."

"Ok..lemme pay for it. Wait here ok?"

And he went to the counter. So maybe I just have to wait for him in a few minutes.

"Miss your bf?"

"Ah? Uh no, he's my friend"

"Ehhh, Wow good catch he's handsome...But I recognized that face. I think I saw him somewhere........ah! He was the one who came with Lady SM last time when she came here. Right, it was him, he worked under Lady SM's husband"

"hmm? Who's Lady SM?"

"Ahh..you don't know her? She owns this mall.."

"Eeeeehhh??????"

"Oo, yeah you know that kid has wealth too and he's also smart. That is really the good catch"

"Eh?"

Then the sales lady left.

"Wow that was weird" I mumbled to myself

"What did the saleslady say to you?"

"Oh, you're here already? Ah well nothing important ahahah"

"Ok then let's go"

Then we went to the place where I used to deliver. Yes in that very luxurious building. And also yes, starting from now I will be living in this place. I feel so small, I'm the only beggar who lives in this kind of place. I feel so out of place. Well, it's really true you will kinda regret your life choices and ask yourself what have I gotten into? Lol, I really felt that.

"Don't worry you'll like it here ok?"

"Ahh maybe? It's ok don't worry about me"

And then we went to his room and...viola so cool as in..modern design and the space like men! It's much bigger and wider than the Mansion La Casa De Rosa. The things are so nice very well arranged, and I can feel his scent around the house. Wow just wow...

"Hope all rich right?"

"Try to arrange your things I'll show you...ah...wait for fuck....."

"Oh, what is it this time North?"

"Sorry... I wasn't thinking... I remember there's only one room here...."

Ok, he's crazy I can say. But Nah nevermind that. I wouldn't care less anyway.

"Ok, where's your room? I'll arrange my things there. Gosh you're crazy"

"Is it ok for you?"

"Do I have any other choice North?"

"Ahhh there that the room"

"Ok ok"

"I'll just cook something"

Then I went to his room and I was like oh lala~ It's even cooler. I really can see the beautiful scenery. Wow, this place is really cool.

Ok, I admit I like it here already. I might live here forever lol.

While I was arranging my things I noticed there's a lot like lots of it. Man, how much did he spend on all of this? Thank goodness and there's still space in the cabinet. Well of course North is living alone and the cabinets are so big that there's still a lot of space.

"Why do I smell something burning?"

I finished my work and went to the kitchen. And guess what I saw, Well it's just North and the overcooked rice.

"Ok get away from there. Your house is too nice to be burned, it's not right. Come on ill take things here."

"Sorry I was just trying to cook cuz you know. I have someone with me today at least..."

"I'm not your visitor ok? I'll just cook since I'm a girl after all. So yeah just sit back and relax ok? Just cut some veggies there"

"Uhh, what kind of veggie is that?"

"Yeah ok, whatever ill just do everything. Just sit there"

"Ah ok..."

After a few minutes of cooking and there he is it seems like he's looking like a hungry child.

"Oh here, rice and adobo coming up. Come on let's eat"

I can really see his amazement. Wow, he's such a baby.

"It's my first time eating homemade foods... it's delicious"

"Yeah, I know right..."

"Can you stay with me forever?"
