Annabelle

Raymond passed a note to baby and said "I think this is for you, I saw it in the bag." baby opened the folded paper and saw the short letter. [did you enjoy the food?, remember to come home after your shoot. your dad complains everyday about how he missed you, I love you. mum.] baby twitched his lips dad would do anything to make mum happy even lying that he misses me. he tore the paper and threw it in the dustbin. "why aren't we eating? I'm hungry." Romeo complained. after his words, the doorbell rang. ok! I'm too lazy to stand up. "is the door locked?" baby asked. "just say that you are too lazy to stand up, I'd go and get him." Raymond replied.

.....

how do I ask Raymond about Luciana? baby thought as he stared at Raymond. "is something on my face?" Raymond asked. "uh nothing." baby said and drank his soup. Ryan smiled boss doesn't know how to start the conversation from that won't hurt Raymond's feeling. hehehe Raymond, it's time to make you cry. "Raymond, do you know Luciana?" Ryan asked. Raymond continued to chew what was in his mouth and replied when he was done. "I don't, why did you ask." Ryan scoffed in his heart liar! she's clearly your childhood sweetheart. baby monitored Raymond's expression but it's just normal. "oh, this dummy reminded me of the last time Raymond was sick." Callum said. you are the dummy! your whole family is a dummy! Ryan screamed In his mind but smiled at Callum. "what did I remind you of?" he asked. "when he was sleeping, he kept mentioning a name Anna. I tried guessing whom it might Eliana? polyanna or is it Annabelle." Callum said. Ryan stiffed his laughter oh please polyanna?. "did I? I was probably having a nightmare. after all Annabelle doll is a very scary doll." Raymond replied and continued to eat his food. "oh, I see I thought she was your ex. "you said you don't know Luciana but you guys get into an argument almost everyday." Romeo finally spoke. yes tell him that he's a liar! "that's what I was about to say. she complained to me about a very annoying boy who seeks her attention." Ryan said and laughed internally hehehe Raymond it's time to cry. Raymond went stiff for a moment and said "why would she complain to you?" baby smiled, Ryan well done, I'm finally getting a reaction from Romeo. oh my why does it fell like if I answer this question Raymond would kill me. "why would she complain to me? she's my girlfriend and we work at the same place. she loves me so much that she followed me when I changed my part time job. she said she can't bear to part with me so she applied for the scholarship exam to nirvana high." Ryan lied with a dreamy smile on his face. Raymond didn't hear anything else apart from the word girlfriend which kept repeating itself in his head. she already has a boyfriend. "you guys need to break up." Raymond said. "are you mad? why would we do that? let me tell you something, our relationship is as solid as a rock even if the world is against our relationship, we'd rather take the world as our enemy than breaking up." Ryan said pretending to be mad at Raymond. baby smiled I've gotten the answer I want, Raymond didn't forget her. he knows that she's Luciana. he must have his reason for pretending not to know her. "you are right, why would you do that. just forget what I said." Raymond replied. "wait a minute! I need to understand what's going on, Raymond finally has a crush but before he could make a move, he found out that she's Ryan's girlfriend." Ryan said with a I finally understood what's going on look. "don't tell me that you're giving up because she has a boyfriend?" if I love someone, I'd go for it. you don't have to worry about this chicken, I'd take care of him." Raymond said. you are a chicken, your whole generation is a chicken Ryan cried in his heart. "Raymond is right, you are better than this chicken, who'd see such a young handsome rich intelligent man and turn him down for a country chicken." Callum added.

"you have to flirt with her, charm her, let her know your worth, compliment her, buy her gifts, let her know how much she means to you." Romeo said. "don't forget to respect her and her decisions, you can be romantic but don't go too far. she might not like flowers, jewelries, fancy things but you have to find out about what she likes." Callum added. Raymond who was listening attentively said "you are right, she doesn't like those but she likes racing. Callum and Romeo nodded while rubbing their chin but a light bulb finally shone in their heads "how did you know?" they asked in unison.
