Take a Peek

Peek 07

"So, how was the match without using your camera?" Burke said smirking as I entered the living room.

I sighed and decided not to notice him as I went to the kitchen to get some water.

I opened up the fridge and got myself some cold water and as I am drinking, I am having thoughts on what that embalmer has said to me earlier at the match.

Shall I go visit him later? I mean, I still need to fix my camera.

But what if he is making fun of me again? But what if he is also telling the truth that he'll help me with fixing my camera?

But knowing Aesop Carl, he will do whatever he says.

Aesop Carl. I like how my mind says it. Now that I am really looking at him, I can say that he is tall for a survivor. But he is still shorter than me by a few inches.

But why do I feel like he is more built than I am? Well, he does carry his coffin with him and I can also imagine his make-up kit being heavy. But at the same time, it might not be heavy?

The point here is, does he lift? I want some muscles too, you know?

Dropping the glass down, I stare at my muscle-less biceps. Should I also work out now?

"Ahhhh, I want some muscles too." I sighed out loud, dropping my hands to my side.

"Are you okay, dear?" Mary asked entering the kitchen with a tray in her hand.

"Do you think, I'm too thin?" I asked tucking my loose hair strand back behind my left ear.

Mary mumbled something being feminine and a bottom but I can't really understand what she said.

She stared at me afterwards and I am still waiting for her reply.

"No, dear. You are just perfect the way you are, Joseph? Why? Is something bothering you?" She responded and dropped the tray on the other side of the table.

"You did not watch, the match earlier?" I asked, diverting the topic since I don't want to tell her that a certain survivor is making me conscious of my built.

"Sadly, I did not. Robbie is currently running a fever. I guess all that anger from Luchino earlier triggered it." Mary said as she opened the fridge and grab the cold pitcher.

"I think only Michiko, Leo and Jack watched your match. A lot of us knew you will end up with a draw or become a friendly hunter without your camera." She added as she poured cold water into the empty bowl lying on the tray.

"I really don't feel like myself without using the camera." I truthfully said to her and saw her lips raised up a little.

"I think, I need to rest for a bit." I added walking out of the kitchen.

"Ah, Joseph. I dropped your letter for the next match in front of your bedroom door." Jack said walking down from the stairs.

"Thank you." I silently replied as I walked passed him and went to my room.

I found the letter he was talking about in front of my door and I picked it up before opening my room.

It's only the first match but why do I feel so drained?

•••••

All the match ended without any more troubles for the day. Thank God, I did not encounter Aesop again for the rest after the first match.

I did encounter the mechanic though but there was little time and I was afraid to approach her as she was always glaring at me.

What did I do to her?

I know I haven't talked to any survivor aside from Aesop, so why does she look hostile towards me? Or did Aesop talk to her something bad about me?

Aesop did tell that he'll help me with my camera problem but do I really need to go to his place?

I am glad the manor has no CCTV cameras installed or else I might have been punished, banned or exiled from the place already.

I should have my salary given before being kicked out, right?

I mean, I have been working for 2 years already. Ah, what am I even thinking.

I think my performance dropped because of the 2 loses I have today. And this is because I became a friendly hunter for the match.

I am exhausted from all this thinking, I am glad my brain did not explode yet.

But real question here is, should I go visit that damn, sexy embalmer?

I have to admit, he is sexy.

"Ah, I'll just eat dinner first."

I left my room and proceed to the kitchen, seeing everyone at their seats already made me a little annoyed.

Why didn't they call me?

"Ah, I was supposed to call you Joseph, but good thing you're here already." Michiko said placing the ramen on the table.

"Thank you, Michiko." I smiled at the lady and went to my place and sat.

As we were eating, my mind has decided what to do.

Fine, I'll visit the embalmer but this is the last time.
