Chapter 82 - Last Wish

When everyone was doing they own job in the Caspian Castle, these girl never did do her job except for sleeping on the jeep at the large garage.

Nic who was a sleepyhead was already lying on the jeep while sleeping.

She sleeps like a sleeping beauty, nothing could ever disturb her from the awoken from sleep. She put her both hands behind her head and put her left leg on her right knee.

When someone saw her sleep like that, they could think that she was sleeping like dude. And of course she is sleeping like a dude, like a total dude.

Then, Carlos appeared with a basket. Inside the basket was a white cloth that was used as a curtain. He want to dry it under the sun.

Carlos put down the basket onto the ground and that is when he saw Nic sleeping on the jeep. For a long time, he watched Nic sleep and he realises that she was sleeping like a dude.

Carlos smirked but not in an annoying manner. He takes the cloth and hang it on the clothesline. He peeked at a glance at Nic again before he takes another cloth.

"You shouldn't sleep like that, Nic. You are a girl and acting like a dude is not a good thing for you if other people saw it," said Carlos while hanging the next clothes.

Slowly, Nic's eyes opened when she heard a man's voice. She rolled her eyes to Carlos and saw that man doing his job without looking at her. Nic sighed shortly as she closed her eyes again. Nic want to ignored Carlos because she need to sleep.

[So what if I was acting like a dude? It didn't give you any trouble though.]

"Hey, are you listening to me? Stop sleeping like that. It is inappropriate for a girl like you!" Carlos advised her again.

Nic snorted in annoyances and she turned her body to the other side, completely opposite from Carlos's direction. She hates it when there are people who disturb her sleep.

Carlos saw Nic turn around and that also make him annoyed for a reason he don't know either. "See, you not even listening to me? How could you change your 'dude' personality?"

This time Nic get up from her position and she look at Carlos with a very frustrating face. "Shut up, Carl!!! I need to sleep but you keep pestering me. Can you do your job quietly, like a muted person, HUH?!"

Carlos turned speechless when Nic suddenly raised her voice while talking to him.

"I was just trying to help you."

"Stop worrying about myself… You should worry about that ex girlfriend of you instead. Please, I also need my privacy!!" said Nic again with an annoying tone.

Carlos only raises his eyebrows gently as he hanging up another clothes.

When she didn't heard anything from Carlos again, Nic close her eyes and she start to sleep again.

While Carlos was still looking at her but his hands still hanging up the clothes. [Is she asleep again?? That fast???! Is she a human being? How could she sleep like that, just in five seconds?]

"Haisshhhh....!!" Nic suddenly get up again and shouted annoyingly.

Carlos flinched slightly at Nic's voice and he look at Nic with a confused face. [Did she heard what I was saying? But I didn't say it loud? How could she know it then??]

Nic quickly give Carlos a very sharp glance to Carlos with a sullen face. With that face, she could almost kill someone just by that sharp looking.

"Wh-what? What is it again? I did silent just like you've told me," said Carlos.

"It's because of you I can't sleep again, you blockhead!!!"

Carlos couldn't even talk back at Nic when Nic talk to him like that. He didn't mean to make her like that. "Well, if you, if you couldn't sleep anymore, why don't you help me with these clothes then??"

Nic give him another sharp glance again. She surely can eat these man alive at this time straight if he keeps pestering her. "You are the one who make me like this, why would I help you?"

"I just want some help." Carlos reach out a clothes to Nic.

Nic look at the clothes and she look at Carlos still with her sulked face. [That's a good idea too. Since I cannot sleep anymore, why I don't try to help him…]

Slowly, Nic get down from the jeep and she walked toward Carlos. Carlos formed a wide smile when Nic take the clothes he offered.

"There you go," Carlos said and he hang on other clothes.

Nic then slowly help Carlos to hang on the clothes.

After several times they keep hanging the clothes hanging the clothes but didn't talk to each other, Nic saw a dazzling thing hanging around Carlos's neck. Nic closed her eyes temporarily when her eyes made contact with the reflections of the light.

Nic observed the light and it was coming from the necklace Carlos was wearing. Her eyes locked on it and she didn't longer doing her job but freeze there like a statue.

When Carlos realised that Nic didn't move anymore, he turned his head to Nic and saw she was dozing. "What, what is it?!" asked Carlos. He was afraid if something happen to the girl in front of him.

Automatically without realising it, Nic's hand suddenly reach out to touch the necklace at Carlos's neck. Carlos look at the necklace when Nic touch it. He look at Nic with a weird expression too.

"This…. This is pretty."

Carlos turned his gaze to Nic's face again and he surprised a bit to see Nic's stunning face. It was calm but still show some feminine side of her. He might be not realised it before but now he knows that Nic actually has a very beautiful eyes with long eyelashes. Her soft yet pink lips seems to be very alluring and when Nic was focusing her gaze to the necklace on his neck, Carlos could senses the cherry fruit smells on Nic's body. He never know these kind of smell is very sweet before.

"Is this yours?" asked Nic while still staring at the necklace.

"Yes-yes.. It's mine. My mother gave it to me when I was little. I mean, all of my brothers also have the same necklace I wore," Carlos said as soon as he realised from his thought.

"Your mother really have good eyes. This necklace is really amazing," said Nic again.

Carlos smile as he look at the necklace. When Nic mentioned about his mother, he suddenly turn sad.

"Ah right, I never did see your mother when we're still in the Royal Organisation. Where is she?" asked Nic.

"She---...... She was already dead."

Nic turn to speechless when Carlos say like that. She doesn't know that his mother is already dead. "What happened?!" asked Nic.

"She, she was killed by a vampire."

Nic gasped for a while. Then she coughed a little and turned away. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't know."

"It's okay, it's not your fault," Carlos said as he continues to hang up the clothes.

Nic also continue her work.

"But it must hurt to lose someone you love so much. I understand it," Nic said with a low voice but enough for Carlos to hear it.

"It was really hurt and depressing at first because we are not used so much when my mother is dead. My father was the one who extremely depressed because he really love our mother. And he also confused on how to grow up nine sons without a wife beside her. We almost have died if my father didn't recover from his depression and take care of us with everything he has. Since then, my brothers and me promised to each other that we will be looking at each other and also take care of our father. After all, these all are my mother's last wish."

Nic keep hearing to whatever Carlos's was saying and she didn't realise that she was also turn to sad when she heard the story.

"At least your brothers and you have something from your mother before she died. At least that is the last memory of her to you guys," Nic said.

Carlos smile again even though it feels so sad. "You right, this is my mother's last memory with us," Carlos said again and he hang up the last clothes.

Carlos look at Nic and he said, "What do you want to do next? By the way, thank you for helping me." Carlos take the basket and start walking, followed by Nic from behind.

"No problem, dude… I think I want to go back to my room and take a sleep again," said Nic. She yawning and use her right hand to cover it.

Carlos look at Nic with a wide eyes. "What? You want to sleep again? This is not good for your health, Nic. You shouldn't sleep at times like this."

"I know, so stop lecturing me. I know what I need to do," said Nic again while she yawning again while closing her mouth and eyes. She didn't know why she feels so sleepy at times likes this although she didn't feel it when she was helping Carlos. How weird!

Carlos quickly grabbed Nic's hand and he pulled Nic to another direction. Nic almost jumped into the ground because Carlos pulled her too hard. "Carl, slow down. Geez, what are you rushing for!?" said Nic angrily.

"Let's go to the South Garden. I've heard that there are a lot of flowers and plants over there."

"What? That's so boring… I want to go to sleep, why are you taking me to that boring place??? What's so good to see plants???"

"You can get many benefits if you go to that place. Just come with me, I don't have any friends to go with me."

"Then, take your brothers. I want to go to my bedroom!"

"I want you to go with me!"

"Ah, no, no, no! I don't want to!!" said Nic struggling to get away from Carlos's grip while she let out a soft crying like a baby cries when he/she is hungry.

But Carlos also didn't give up and he keep pulled Nic to the South Garden. At the South Garden, Nic keep following Carlos with a sulked facs because she couldn't do the things she likes because of Carlos. But Carlos was happily smile all the way to the South Garden.

Only when they reach the South Garden did Nic's face softened because the South Garden really look so beautiful and relaxing. Carlos and Nic then enjoying their time in the South Garden for a long time.
