CHAPTER VII

Lincton POV

I woke up on a soft mattress and my body didn't felt any sore or pain, I yawned and stretcted my arms, I looked around the room and the monster was nowhere to find, but I let that go, I walked in the bathroom and found an unused brush.

I brushed my teeth and got out from the bathroom. I just laid there on the bed when I felt hungry, I went downstairs and looked for Candice. I saw her in the kitchen.

"Good morning." I greeted her.

"Good morning, do you want to eat? it will be ready for about a minute." She replied.

"Okay, but where is monster?" I asked, I still don't know his name, so I'm just going to call him monster.

"Monster? who's monster?" She asked.

"The guy last night." I answered.

"Oh! His name is Darsh and don't worry he's not a monster." She said.

We continued our conversation until she put my breakfast on the table, I asked her if she wanted to eat with me but she said she already eat.

When I finished my foods, I put it in the sink and washed the plates that I have used. I then followed Candice around the house, I looked like a lost child in the hypermarket.

"Why is he like that?" I suddenly asked.

"Huh?" She asked confused.

"You know, he acted like a monster but you said he isn't." I stated.

"You really don't know who he is, do you?" She asked and I shook my head.

"Well, do you heard about the owner and the CEO of the National Airline?" She then questioned.

"Of course, I heard some people taking about how arrogant, the most cruel human being that they have ever met, I heard a lot of bad things to him." I answered and looked at him questioningly.

"Do you know what his name?" She asked.

"N-----" My eyes widened and my mouth gaped open when I realized it.

"D-don't t-tell me that h-his name is D-darsh." I said stuttered.

"Then I won't tell you." She responded.

"Are you for real?" I asked still can't believe that monster and the true monster was same people.

"Now I know why you acted like that, you don't know who he is." She said and laughed at me and I just pouted.

"Even tho I know him now I will still act like that towards him, he is a monster." I said and cross my arms on my chest.

"Thank you for what you have done for me yesterday." She suddenly said.

"It's fine, everyone will do that." I said and shrugged.

"Not everyone." She responded and I just looked at her.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, you know everyone is scared of him well except for his friends." She answered and my eyes widened.

"Why? are you scared now?" She asked then laughed and I pouted again.

"No, I'm not, I'm just surprised that he have a friend." I stated very seriously and she just laughed at me.

"Anyways, where is he?" I asked.

"I don't know, maybe he went to his office." She shrugged.

"Oh! yeah right, where is the garden here? I really wanted to see the flowers." I stated excitedly.

"Come on." She stated and I followed her.

We walked towards the glass door that I just saw now, we both went in the door and I saw a bunch of different flowers there, sunflower, tulips, roses and some vegetable plants are there too, I looked at them like it was my first time to see flowers.

"This is so beautiful." I stated.

"I didn't know that you will be this happy just to see flowers." She replied.

"Not only flowers, I also wants to see seas, mountains, trees, I really love nature." I corrected her.

"Why?" She asked that made me looked at them.

"Because they calm me and they are the only one who listened to me when I was living in the street." I asked and smiled at her. She looked at me with a sympathetic eyes.

"But it's alright, when I'm seeing flowers and trees on the street, I just feel that I'm not alone." I added.

"Is it hard to live outside without a roof, food or money?" She asked.

"Of course it is at first when you're used to having a lot of money, but when you live there for a couple of months you will get used to it." I answered.

"May I ask how many months you're living in the street?" She asked.

"3 years." I answered smiling.

I was surprised when she suddenly hugged me but I hugged her back. When she pulled away I saw her crying but I don't know why, she don't have a reason to cry.

"Why are you crying?" I asked.

"Because I feel sorry for what you got through, it was definitely tough for you." She stated then wiped her tears away and I chuckled.

"Of course it was but I'm brave and I was tougher than my problems." I stated and she laughed.

"I'm glad that I have a friend now." I said.

"I am too, Dominique, Leila and Sarah is your friend too, so don't be shy if you want to talk to them because they want you to be their friend too." She said and I'm more than happy now.

"Oh! yeah, I forgot to ask." She said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Where is your parents? I mean what if they are worried to you because you were gone for 3 years?" She asked.

"They're both dead." I stated.

"Oh! sorry to hear that." She said.

"It's fine and I'm fine now." I replied, I just looked at the flowers when I saw Dominique, I called him and he went on our spot.

"Good morning, what are you doing with the hose?" I asked.

"I'm going to water the plants." He answered.

"Can I help?" I asked.

"Of course." He answered happily.

We both started to water the plants and it was fun, after that he went out from the garden to do other things.

Me and Candice sat on the bench there after I finished looking around, I'm really happy that I saw flowers again. After a couples of minutes looking at the flower we then decided to went back inside.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked feeling bored.

"We can clean the house." She stated and I nodded my head.

We then started to clean the whole house, it was fun, Leila and Sarah joined us and we all talked while cleaning the house.
