Dylan slowly opened his eyes and came face to face with an unfamiliar calling. Sitting up straight on the small comfy bed while grossing in pain, his dark eyes scanned his surroundings.
The room he is in, is beautifully and brightly decorated in all pink. The walls pink, the reading chair and table pink, the wardrobe pink, the bed, and bedsheets pink, even the reading lamp. Pink. Everything is just so girly.
Where on earth am I? Dylan thought and stand up. He remembered being chased by his uncle men, and because of his negligence, he got shot and ran into a woman's house for shelter. Oh. This is the woman's room.
Walking out of the room, he came face with a cloud like living room. Everything in the living room, from walls to the doormat, is white and sky blue. This makes Dylan wondered if he had not entered an insane woman's house. And just then, a sound sounded behind him. It was a music player as a music starts playing.
“..... You are the light, you are the night. You are the color of my blood….”
A woman's soft voice sounded in a room beside him, and he walked towards it, it was a kitchen. Dylan saw a woman in the kitchen and was momentarily stunned, not because of the woman's cuteness but because of the kitchen. Few minutes ago, he was wondering if he had entered an insane woman's house, but now he was sure he indeed did enter an insane woman's house.
The kitchen from door to all the kitchen wears is all earthly and green. The plates colors are all flowers of different types. The cabinet looked like a tangled tree, like that of a forest. What kind of craziest thing did I get myself into? Is she the one who treats me? No. I don't think it is her.
“Oh! You are awake?!.” Alice smiled cheerfully at Dylan as she sets the table and waved to Dylan to sit down. “Come on. Are you not hungry?"
Is this food edible? Oh, where is my gun? Dylan thought as he sits down. He did not wish to kill her. But.....that was before. Not when he discovered that the woman is insane.
“Come on, dig in!.” Alice said putting food in Dylan's plate. “Don't worry, it's delicious. I am a great cook.” Alice added, proudly stuffing her mouth full.
Raising an eyebrow at Alice boosting, Dylan looked at the food in fronts of him. The food looked quite edible to him, but, is it edible to the stomach? Next time something like this happened, he would make sure not to enter anyone's house again. Not to talk of an insane woman's house. But, nothing like this will ever happen again. Dylan promised and took a bite of the food and he has to admit. The food is delicious. It tasted...... Heavenly. And before he knew it, he has finished the food on his plate, while the woman in front of him has just eats half of hers.
Dylan is shocked as he can't believe he just finished a whole plate of the food, and he is even craving more. He is someone who rarely eats and preferred coffee. The last time he eats like this was 18yrs ago when his mother was still alive.
“Do you want more?" Alice asked as she stuffed more food into her small heart shaped lips.
“No.” Dylan wanted to say, but the moment he opened his mouth, he was surprised to find himself saying, “Yes.” It's like his mouth has a mind of its own.
“Okay. I told you I am a great cook.” Alice smiled boas tingly as she puts more food on Dylan's plate.
Nodding, Dylan started to eat, but this time, in a more reserved way. “Where is my gun?" Dylan asked after a few minutes.
“Ugh!.” Cough, cough. Alice immediately drank some water after choking on her food. Looking at the man in front of her in horror, she said, “Why? Do you still what to kill me?!.”
“What?" Dylan narrowed his eyes at her question and answered, “No. I......”
“How can you be so ungrateful!?" Alice interrupts Dylan mid-sentence and scowled at him. “I saved your life, and you still want to kill me?!. I should have called the police! I shouldn't have spared you! Not only that, but I thought you were a good thief, but I was wrong. You are a bad one. A bad thief!.”
What on earth is she talking about? What thief?!. Though he was glad that she didn't call the police because he couldn't have imagined how he would have coped with their questions, but, what thief? Is that what she thought of him? A thief?!.
“How ungrateful! How…how….how everything!.” Alice continued growling. She had already stand up and Dylan stands up after her. Seeing this, she immediately runs into the kitchen and brings out a fry pan. Holding it defensively, she shouts. “Try anything funny, and I will kill you myself!.”
Oh. No! She is going crazy! “I have no intention to kill you, I swear. I just want my gun.”
“Why would you want your gun if you meant no harm? If you have no intention to kill me, why are you asking for it?!.” Alice questioned angrily.
Never in his life has Dylan tried to convince someone, but he has to do it now, before the woman in front of him go crazy like her house! “Don't misunderstand me, Miss. If I were to kill you, I would have done that yesterday.”
“That's what I thought, too!.” Alice answered with a glare, “That you could have killed me yesterday, but you didn't. That's why I thought you were a good thief. But, I was wrong. You are a bad one!.”
“Miss. I am not a thief!.” Dylan corrected, feeling frustrated.
“Then why are the gangs after you?" Alice asked defensively.
“Gangs?!.” Dylan narrowed his eyes at the confrontation. Did she know he was chased by gangs? How? “How do you know I was chased by gangs?"
“I heard them said 'Boss '. Police officers won't call each other that, Right?"
Nodding, Dylan answered, “Yes.” He felt quite relived, knowing that she is not totally insane. Maybe it's in the first level. “But, trust me. I have no intention to kill you!.”
“No! Handsome guys are not to be trusted!.”
“What?..”
