Live With Us!

She slips her hair behind her ear when the wind brushes her face. She looks at the fall leaves near her as she sits at the bus stop bench waiting for the bus to come over.

She put the earphone on her ear and play her playlist on her iPod. Listening to the song, she starts remembering the blue eyes men she met before at the cafe.

He was tall with a great shape of the body. Not a bulge one, but it was the one that will imprint to each woman's eyes once they saw his figure.

His blonde hair and perfect jaw were so alluring. His eyes..is blue like sapphire and he gives an aristocratic vibe around him.

Honking sound made her jolt her body a bit. She looks at the bus which already stops in front of the bus stop, she then stands up from the bench and steps inside the bus.

After 15 minutes ride, she steps out from the bus and walks to her apartment.

"Hi Vi, just got back from your work?" a man who is her neighbor asks her before she twisted the doorknob.

"Hm?" look up at the man, she said again. "Yeah..going to work, Rick?"

That man nod. "Yup. Oh, your landlord was just here looking for you. But I told your landlord that you might be at your part-time job."

"Oh, really? Thank you for telling me. Have a nice day Rick." she smiles and opens her apartment door.

Closed the door, she strolled to her room and lay on the bed trying to take a nap for a bit.

Just after she closed her eyes, her phone ring. Looked at the caller ID, she groans a bit before she picks it up.

"What do you want?" she asked lazily.

"I need a hundred bucks. Can you transfer it to me now?" an old man's voice sounded from the end of the line.

"Gambling again?"

"No-no. This is for investment. A good one."

"Dad…don't waste your money on some scheming investment again."

"Violet, just give me the fucking money!" he started to yell.

Shut her eyes tightly she sighs and says "I'll wire it tomorrow."

She ended the call and throw her phone on the bed before she takes off her outfit. She takes her towel and walks inside the bathroom to take a shower.

Standing under the shower, she whispers.

"Why did you leave me with him, mom? Why?"

...

"May I take your order sir?" a plump woman figure approach their table.

Look up at the lady, Chase divert his eyes to the menu again.

"I'll have salmon steak and a glass of lemonade please." he closes his menu and passes back to the lady.

"I would like to order this prawn pasta and oranges juice." Joe also passes the menu back after ordering.

"Um, I would like to order this one and a glass of mineral water, please." Aaron points his finger on the menu before he passes the menu back.

"Is that all?" the lady asks.

"Err...Wait, I have a question." Joe said while keep looking at the counter.

"Yes sir?" she asks.

"Where is the girl with long and wavy hair? The one with big green eyes?" he looks at her face.

Frowned a moment, she then smiles. "Oh..you mean Violet? She just finishes her shift for today."

"I see.." Joe smile as the lady start to walk back to the counter.

"Violet huh?" he mumbles.

Chase already carried away with his own world while Aaron looks at him with a questioning look.

"Oh, don't worry. I just happen to find something interesting to tease Chase," he explains to Aaron. He knew Chase is already in reading mode. He will automatically turn deaf to his surrounding.

While waiting for their dinner to be served, Joe takes out his phone and calls Nigel.

"Yo Nigel! Where the hell are you man? You went missing the whole day."

"Erm..where else I would be." his raspy voice makes Joe snickering.

"Dude, did you just get laid?"

"Fuck off!"

"Hey, we're in the Moon cafe, wanna join us?"

"Are the girls also there?"

"Nah…just the bros."

"Okay..order for me first," he said before he ended the call.

…..

"Baby, I need to go now." Nigel sits up from the bed and covers his girlfriend's body with a wool blanket.

"Mm...Lock the door before you leave," she said and continue to sleep.

Kiss her forehead, he wears his outfit and walks out of the apartment.

After 15 minutes, Nigel parked his motorbike at the side parking in front of the cafe.

He takes off his helmet and placed it on the bike's tank before he walks into the cafe.

Searching around the corner, he saw three-figure man were enjoying their dinner. He then strides to the table.

"Hey, where's my dinner?" he asks and sits beside Chase.

Just after he sits, a plump lady brings him his dinner.

"Thank you," he said politely to the lady before he starts to dig in.

"What are you doing earlier? It's not like you too went out of the Sun House. Well, we all are too lazy to go out I supposed." Nigel's eyes were fixed at the ribs steak on his plate.

"We just bought some stuff for our new bro here. He broke. Remember? He's homeless too."

"Hey, you hurt my feelings man." Aaron glance at him.

"Ah….I forgot.. so, did you become our bro now?"

"I'll leave once I am able to pay Hazel's money."

"If you talk about Hazel's fees then I could only wish you good luck. You will never able to pay her, man, unless you are rich." Nigel said with a serious tone.

"I can lend you my money," Chase speaks after a long silence.

"Oh, no thanks, Chase. I already owed you too much." Aaron rejects his idea.

"So, how about the place to stay? Where do you want to live? Do you have any place to go?"

"Hmm… I have no idea."

"Live with us!" Nigel and Joe said simultaneously.

"No way. I don't want to live in the isolation room again."

"Then, don't." Chase looks at Aaron's face.

All the eyes fix on Chase afterward.

"I'll talk to her."
