Peter’s POV.
“Please Flora,come out” I pleaded.
She didn’t respond.
“Will you? ” I asked.
“I won’t ” She yelled.
“Fine! I’m sorry” I really am.
“You scared me, you really did.I thought i had commited murder by mistake” She said yet, she didn’t open the door.
“I’m really sorry.I guess i was just being childish” I said leaning on the door.
She opened the door and i nearly fell..
“Are you really gonna stop acting like you’ve got no memory?” I asked staring at her.
“Of course”
“Pls don’t.you know,if you do…”
She interrupted;” Alright,Alright,i won’t”
I smiled.Obviously,she wasn’t upset.
“So am i forgiven?” I asked.
She scorned sarcastically ; ” What do you want for lunch? ” She asked instead.
I smiled.
“Forget about lunch,i want you ” I said.
“Me? ” She exclaimed.
“Your smile”
She smiled.

“How could you ruin your party Peter” Francis yelled at me.
“I didn’t ruin it, mom did” I replied.
“We got the news, you were caught kissing your housemaid”
I was mute.
“Are you daft? ”
“C’mon, I’m not”
“Don’t give me a flimsy excuse”Francis shouted.
“Don’t you wanna hear me out? ”
“Say something fair”
“Listen, i love her”
“WTF”
“Is that fair enough? “I asked.
“Peter” Vincent finally spoke after being silent for a while.. I noticed he has been staring at me since we
“Vincent,Peter’s insane.. You’re in love with an housemaid? Does that even make any sense?”
“You’re dating Monica.aren’t you? ” Vincent asked.
I was shocked.
He found out so soon?
“When did you become a cheat Peter?” Francis said.
He’s not aware..
“Vin-cent..” I kinda stammered.
“You have a explanation? What do you wanna explain?
Why you’re dating the lady i love?
I thought you’d never do that” Vincent shouted.
Jeez, he’s mad at me.
“I think i’m lost here” Francis said obviously confused.
“Vincent, i swear down. It’s not my fault,i didn’t planned to..I.. ”
He cut in sharply.
“My fault? ”
“I didn’t ask her out, she did”
WTF!
“Don’t tell me, you’re actually expecting me to believe that? ”
I swear down” “And you agreed? ”
I was mute.
What have i done?
Flora is not aware too.. What if she finds out?
“Listen Vincent, I don’t love Monica” I said.
“Guys,I’m confuse here. Can someone at least make this clear?”Francis screamed.
Vincent scorned and muttered something i did not hear and then he walked away.
“Peter, do you have something to tell me? ” Francis faced me.
“Maybe later” I replied then i hurried to catch up with Vincent.
Seems like he doesn’t wanna listen to me not even my plead.
