Cherry Blossoms - Love in the air..

Chapter 8- Birthday gift.2

Luciana:

The day before Luke's birthday. I was in front of Dylan's apartment when I got a message from him.

> Remember to take the elevator to the 9th floor and then walk up to the 10th floor. If you forget you know what will happen. Be a good girl.

Be a good girl? What does he think, I am a dog or his pet? Whatever I should just walk one floor or stairs. I texted him back.

< Alright

Why do I have to walk to the tenth floor? Whatever. As long as I can make something delicious for Luke with my own hands. I will do anything.

Honestly, the building structure was so complex and confusing. It took me forever to find Dylan's house. Wait, is it really okay to come to this demon's house. Even though he has been helping me all this time. He also has been irritating me at the same time. What should I do now? I was thinking if I should ring the bell or not before the door. I was having a self debate with myself and finally decided to do it for Luke.

It creaked and opened before I rang the bell.

"Yo, Lu-ser. Nice that you finally showed up." he said opening the door. He was as usual in a plane shirt and pair of jeans.

"How'd you know I was at the door?" I asked him immediately as it freaked me out.

"I guessed you would be getting close, and I saw you run around in circles downstairs." He starting smirking. Evil! Very evil! He has the talent to piss me off in seconds. I could feel my facial muscles hardening.

"You saw me and didn't try to help me."

"Yep! Come it." He moved asked to let me in. All I could see inside was a.....HUGE MESS. There were books everywhere, some study references, some novels and some magazines. There was food here and there. I don't think he can survive after eating from them anymore. His house was nothing more than a whole trash can. Literally, it was a trash can with lots and lots of trash.

"Your house....Did someone rob you? Should I call the police?" Those were my first sentences after seeing it. How did he survive in here for so many days?

"No need. We can get started."

"Star-ted?"

He opened his mouth to speak but shut it down again. After a huge break of silence he spoke with a huge grin on his stupid face, "But, I seemed to lost the cookbook. Can you help me by looking for it?" He spoke as if he was in some comic. You know get that background filled with flowers when someone smiles but unfortunately his was filled with trash.

"I thought you said you knew how to bake!"

"Yeah..I'll know when I look at the cookbook."

"So just look for it on your phone."

"We have really really bad signal here."

"Good-for-nothing." the heated conversation finally ends. Tomorrow is Luke's birthday. I really want to do something he likes with my own hands. If I leave this jerk's place now, I have nowhere to bake a cake. Just bear with it Lucy. You can do it. I gave myself enough courage to enter the house.

"It may not be in that room. Just look all over the place and also clean up a little while you are at. Thanks." he said giving his trashy smile again.

Jerk! Dumbo! Asshole! Did you invite me to help and clean over your place. He really knows how to benefit from the situation. Now I can clearly understand the words from before, 'I am counting on you'. This guy really knows how to talk. Whatever he says, that's what it is.
