Chapter 7 six

A pot can be hung in Carol's lips because it's pouty and pointy. She doesn't have any patients right now so she's impatient. And if there's one, another doctor will take it away from her because they says that she needs to rest. They said a lot of things like; she doing a lot of work here and there, to the point that she can't rest--and that's a lie. When this hospital finally become under her name, she will oust those doctor's out who keeps on kidnaping her patients.

"I'm bored!" Carol shouted and let out another deep breath.

She didn't know what to do. She is not used on doing nothing inside the hospital. She is more used on being in the operating room or in the laboratory all the time, and she misses that moment very much.

She wasn't even sure who planned this unusual things. Whether it's her father, who is loving and clingy or her cousin Maxon who is crazy about his wife-oh well, those men are equally crazy about their wives. They are all head over heels with them, and she won't be surprised if her older brother Charles is the same. I hope I'll experience that kind of affection and love too, in the future.

It's been one week since she came back in her condo, and it's been one week since her mother scolded her for what she did in the vacant land owned by Astaroth. Her father's assistant reported her to her mother, and that's for sure. That's exactly who Tj is, even when we where young. Tj was irritating, and besides Astaroth deserved it because he still hasn't returned Moonlight to her.

One week has passed since her late grandfather visited her in her dreams. He was looking for Moonlight, and she actually force herself to wake up from that dream because she was so afraid of what her grandfather might do to her.

Carol--without a choice, left the hospital with a frown in her face and went to the coffee shop she always hangs out. That coffee shop is located just in front of the hospital they owned, so she's very happy because she doesn't have to go far to get a delicious coffee.

"Good morning doctor," the waitress greeted her with a smile.

Carol's previously frowning face was replaced by a sweet wide smile. The effect of coffee on her system is really different, and she perfectly knows that it is forbidden to drink too much coffee, but here she is...there's ore coffee than water flowing through her body.

"Good morning too, my usual order please," Carol said and sat in her usual spot.

This coffee shop was only built three years ago, and she really wanted to kiss its owner because of the joy she felt the moment they opened. The only thing is that she has not seen the owner even once, neither have the people who works here.

The name of the coffee shop is so pretty. How isn't it pretty, the coffee shop's name is 'Carol' and she almost believe that her older brother is the owner--but he's not.

Carol is humming a song while glancing at the barista who's making her coffee. It was the barista who always make her coffee ever since she discovered this shop. But she had never once seen the barista's face because it always has it's back turned, and based on the shape of it's body, it is a man. His arms are also firm and obviously stretched from exercise.

Carol groaned in annoyance when Astaroth's face appears on her mind. She immediately dismissed it and avoided looking at the barista because if she stared at it for a long time, she might remember someone's face again.

Astaroth is really handsome, she can't deny that fact. Especially his green eyes, they are beautiful...she sometimes saw several emotions in it, but most of the time it is emotionless. And Astaroth's voice? it's so damn menacing, deep, and arousing at the same time. His jaw is sharp, and stubborn, but she badly wants to run her fingers there. She wants to kiss Astaroth's lips again. She can't forget how soft and delicious Astaroth's lips are, and it's making her insane.

Those sinful lips will be the death of her. Is she still a sane woman in this situation? Because the things that keeps on running on her mind is pure sensuality.

Carol was brought back to reality when the waitress placed her coffee in front of her. The aroma of coffee lingers on her nose which she loves the most, but her eyebrow furrowed when she saw that her coffee had a blueberry cheesecake on the side.

"I didn't order this," Carol said to the waitress seriously.

The waitress smiles at Carol and said, "It's on the house doctor, because the owner is in a good mood."

"Is that so? Please say my thanks," Carol said while slightly nodding her head.

The waitress immediately left, so Carol turned her attention to the coffee on the top her table again. Her coffee is latte macchiato-her all time favorite, and all she can say is coffee now--palpitate later.

Carol's problems and concerns suddenly disappeared, because of the taste of her delicious coffee. The barista who made her coffee deserves a golden medal. It's so good and delicious to the point that she can drink five cups of coffee today.

Carol moans in pleasure when the coffee's flavor burst inside her mouth, and her older brother who doesn't drink coffee will never be able to relate and understand her feelings.

After Carol had a coffee she immediately got up, pay, and said goodbye. But of course she also left a tip for the barista who makes her coffee, and she's planning to hire the barista at their mansion and for sure her dear father will love the barista immediately. Carol's love from coffee came from her father.

Carol came back to her office singing and like before she left, she still doesn't have a patient but she didn't get angry anymore because she already had her energizer--coffee.

Carol's phone rang that's why she immediately picked it up and answered.

"Yes, hello?" Carol said while checking her nails.

"Hello there, little sister of mine..." The person said on the other line.

Carol frowned because of what she heard, but the voice sounds so familiar to her. So she quickly looked at her phone to see who called, and she was shocked to see that it was one of her older brothers--Fintan. Fintan is her cousin on her mother's side.

"Older brother Fintan slash cousin of mine! Long time no calls aye? Where have you been? Why did you just call me now brother? I've been waiting too long...I am super sad you know," Carol said while pouting, but there is a trace of happiness in her voice.

It's been five years since the last time they talked, and she perfectly knows the reason why. Her cousin Fintan is a famous celebrity. He's always been on television whether it's international or local, that's how popular he is...and oh! Her cousin also have another job. He is a captain of his own cruise, so she rarely sees him because of it.

"I'm sorry little sister of mine. You know that this brother of yours has a lot of works, and it's very obvious that you're sulking," Fintan said while laughing softly.

Carol just giggle because of what her cousin Fintan said. She let a sigh of relief and said, "Come home handsome cousin of mine. You are near on beating Moana and Ariel the mermaid, if you stay in the sea even more longer. If you really get scales and turn black, I'll make fun of you,"

A loud laugh coming from her phone echoes around her office and that laugh came from her cousin, who sounds nearly dying.

"You're imagination is too far Carol. What am I fishman to have a scales? And another thing, I'm deep tan so it's okay even if I spread all day under the sun. I'll get no problem with that, but...when you're the one who spreads under the sun? You'll definitely get fried," he said, and laughed out loud again.

Because of that, Carol just rolled her eyes in annoyance. It is very obvious that the same blood runs through his older brothers, named-Charles, Maxon and Fintan. They are all bullying her if they sees time.

"You know what handsome cousin of mine? You're really are the same as older brother Charles and Maxon...aren't you? If you call me just to annoy the shit out of me, you won. I'm annoyed now," Carol's jaw clenches when her cousin just laugh even more, and because she was irritated-- she hung up the call without saying a word and took off her lab coat while whispering curses.

"They are really good at ruining my mood and my day," Carol whispered and left the hospital again.

It would be better if she just went home because she would definitely not have a patient until later.

ON THE OTHER hand, a man watches Carol with raised eyebrows. His jaw tightened because he heard the girl laughing inside of her office.

He didn't hear the whole conversation but her laugh explains everything. It seems that someone will taste his anger again. Who is it again? Fintan? It sounds familiar but now he doesn't care anymore.

It really makes him angry every time another man makes his psychi mou smile. He is very possessive to the point that even Carol's own blood relatives can kill him in jealousy, and he didn't even know the reason why. It's just that it's not really pleasant in his eyes that there is another man approaching Carol.

"Sýntoma tha gíneis dikí mou psychí mou, (you'll be mine soon, my soul)" he said with a smile, as he follows her.

He's been doing this-the stalking since Carol is on college, and no one has caught him yet. Well, he is very good at it because he often runs away from home sneakingly. So he can proudly says that he excel in this thing.

He cursed and exhales loudly when some scene appeared on his mind. It's a hot scene to be exact, that no matter what he do to forget about it, he still can't do it-and he doesn't want to forget about that at all. It's his treasure because after so many years, he finally kissed what's his.
