Aixela's Pov:
I woke up when the morning rays shine through my window and kisses my face. I immediately noticed the food covered on the table. He didn't seem to touch the food I cooked for him last night. Is he still mad at me?
I washed my face first before heading to the table where the covered food was. It looks like he read my note because it was in a different placement already.
"Hmmm, it may have been spoiled," I said before opening the cover but I was surprised because that's not what I cooked last night.
"He ate what I cooked last night? And what is this? Did he cook breakfast? Does that mean, he's not mad at me anymore?" I smiled.
I just sat down and started eating. When I finished breakfast, I washed the dishes and did the housework. His house wasn't that messy so I finished quickly. I could do nothing. It's so boring.
"Ahh!" I thought of calling Louis to ask how he is. Fortunately, he responded immediately. "Hi, Louis! How are you? I miss you! It's been a while, right? Did you miss me too?" I asked excitedly.
"Oum. It's been a while. I'm fine here. Don't worry about me. Always take care of yourself, hm?" He said.
"You didn't answer my question. Does that mean you didn't miss me?"
"Oh, of course, I do. When you come home, let's meet, okay?"
"Oww, seems like you really missed me, huh?" I heard him smiled which made me smile as well. "I want to meet you now because I really miss you and I'm curious about what you're going to say... But I can't.."
"It's alright. Maybe it's still not time. Just..."
"Just what?"
"Just remember, I'm always thankful for you and your family. And I'm sorry for not being a perfect boyfriend."
"Louis, you don't have to be a perfect boyfriend. You are already perfectly fine with what you are and I love you for being that..."
"I-I'm sorry but I have to go. We have many guests here. I'll talk to you later, hmm?" He said and hanged up. I felt the pain in his tone. Maybe he misses me that much. Poor Louis. I miss you, too!
After talking to Louis, I found my new victim to kill my boredom. And it's of course, Denise.
"Hey, girl! Sup?" I greeted.
"Xela, my daughter! How are you?" Mama suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Ma! How are you? I'm very much fine here. How about you, guys?"
"We miss you so much, Xei. Our customers are also looking for you. When are you going to be back here?" Mama asked.
"I still don't know, Ma. But promise I'll go back there as soon as this case finally ends."
"Just be sure to take care of yourself, ok? We're not there to protect you so please, always inform us whatever happens."
"I will," I said.
"We're now going to the shop, sis! Enjoy your vacation while I work here hmm?" Denise bantered which made me smile.
"Don't worry, I'll treat you in a fancy restaurant when I come back," I bribed.
"Of course, you should," She said.
A few hours passed and I'm just rolling out on the couch until I thought of having fun on YouTube. I just watched vlogs until something caught my attention.
"Basic Sign Language Tutorials?" I said to myself as I read the caption. I started watching the video. I grabbed my pen and notebook and started taking down notes. I have watched a video like this last time and now I finally decided to try doing it.
"Oh, so saying hello in sign language is like how you normally do it. I think this is easy." I continued watching.
"Ah, now I know how to act when people ask why I'm not talking."
"So, yes is just like you're knocking? Cool." I think I'm enjoying learning this.
"Oh, so I can say my name without writing or talking. Amazing."
I found a sign language for sorry and it is like moving your closed hand on your chest with a circular motion. I can use it later when he gets home.
Oh, and if accepts my apology, saying thank you in sign language is like giving a flying kiss but your hand is below your lips. Oosshh. Let's see his reaction later. WHAHAHAHA.
Later, I noticed that it was already night. I really enjoyed learning sign language that I even practice it while cooking. Until he came. I'm not talking even until he sat down and ate dinner. I sat opposite his chair and showed him my sign language skills.
I slide my pointing finger to my neck to ask if he's thirsty but he just looked at me. I signed him to wait and get him some water then placed it beside his plate while smiling. He just continued eating.
I tried kissing my middle finger and thumb to ask if it is delicious. He just literally stopped eating and looked at me. I just smiled.
After he finished eating, I started washing the dishes and he entered the bathroom. I waited for him to come out and tell him I'm sorry. I signed him I'm sorry but he ignored me. I tapped him to look at me again and I think he's annoyed.
"Can you stop fooling around?" He said.
I signed sorry again. "I'm sorry," I said while signing.
"Oh yeah, the emotions are very important. Again, again," I told myself. "For causing you annoyance, I'm sorry," I said while signing sorry. "I'm just practicing sign language. I think it can help me whenever I have to say something and also, maybe I can find a job to pay you my food and all."
He was about to enter his room but I held his wrist.
"I'm sorry.." I said while signing. "..for what happened last day. And thank you for eating your dinner last night."
"Tell me, what should I do for us to be friends?" I asked.
"I don't have a girl friend and I don't want to have one," He answered.
"Sister?" I asked again. He stared at me. "Ok, perhaps dog?" I said. Suddenly he grinned.
"You want to be a dog? Are you serious?"
"Dogs are man's best friend, right? I'm the only one left here to take care of your house when you're away.."
"So you really consider yourself as a dog? How pity!"
"Why? What's wrong with being your dog if that is the only way I can be closer to you." He stopped smiling. "We both hate each other. You hate me because I'm a girl and I hate you because you're rude. But can't we be friends? At the end of the day, we're still living under the same roof."
"Do what you want. If you want to be my dog or my slave, I don't care. Just don't make another foolish mess," He said and entered his room.
I smiled even he closed his door. "Yes, master," I saluted.
Officer Dy, maybe you're thinking I'm stupid because I want to be your dog. Actually, you'll gonna be my dog. Just wait, you'll be soft on me too. I'll show you soon that you shouldn't be annoyed with us women. And most of all, I will be the bridge of your romantic relationship with Officer Yzerman. Whaaa! It's so exciting!
