Morning Luck

The disturbing sound of the doorbell rang repeatedly, stirring Alyce up from bed. Her brows squinted in perturbation.

She tiredly rose, seeing it's morning she pondered on who will be at the door by this time of the morning.

"Don't they have families?" Alyce groaned to herself with her eyes still closed as she walked towards the door of her room.

Upon reaching the stairs, she grunted in laziness when looking at the long flight of stairs all the way down there.

"I am so tired." Alyce stretched as she yawned sleepily.

The sound of the door bell rang again, reminding her why she came down in the first place. She painfully forced her eyes open and began walking down the stairs.

Before she could reach, Alexander had beat her to it.

There he was, opening the door for whoever it was standing there.

The moment she saw him, her eyes automatically became clear, the sleep was gone.

"Oh no! the doorbell has been ringing for long now, Is he going to be mad at me." She stood there fidgeting her fingers. She could see he was having a light conversation with the person at the door, she couldn't see who the person was because the large build of Alexander completely shadowed him from her view.

"Is it someone he knows? Oh Lord I'm dead. Alyce!!" She grumbled.

Standing by the middle of the staircase, she didn't know what to do. Whether to go down or to hide before she get scolded. Her expression was as though she wanted to cry. One last look at his back, she hurriedly turned around to evacuate but the morning luck was not on her side.

"There she is. Alyce!"

Hearing her name she immediately paused, 'Oh no he saw me.'

Alyce turned around robotically slow. "Mmmm Good morning Master, good morning….. Sir." She greeted.

"Come on, I'm not that old to be called a sir. Just call me Mr. Morgan." The man Alexander came in with spoke.

"Oh..I got it." Alyce replied awkwardly.

"Is she the girl you told me about?"

"Yes, she is." Alexander affirmed.

"She's pretty, nice one Mr Luen." He playfully winked at Alyce.

Making her shrink back in where she stood.

"Get to the point Ethan." Alexander bellowed with an angry stare.

"Fine, chill come on."

Alexander walked up to Alyce, leaving Ethan behind. He carefully placed the back of his palm on her forehead.

Alyce held her breath strongly the moment his hand came in contact with her skin.

"Her temperature has gone down a bit."

Alyce realized that she wasn't the one he was talking to but to Ethan. She didn't understand why at first, not until she took notice of the white lab coat worn by him.

'He is the doctor?' She couldn't help but ask–In her mind of course. Because he didn't look like one.

Normally in her own definition, doctors are always serious and gloomy. But who she was seeing here, didn't have does traits. Most especially he looked too young and carefree and also too handsome for the Job.

Alyce was in her own world busy scrutinizing him, she didn't hear when Alexander told her to go back to her room so she could start her treatment. Her gaze were still stuck on Ethan, not realizing he was looking at her too.

"Hey, Bro, your girl seems to have a crush on me." Ethan whispered to Alex, earning a sharp glare from him.

"She is not my girl." Alexander said, word on word, enough for Ethan to stop with his joke.

"Alyce!!" Alexander's voice grew thicker as he called her name.

"Ah? Yes Master?"

"Go back to your room, Ethan will come give you a check up."

"Okay." Without hesitation, Alyce ran up to her room as told.

"What are you waiting for? Follow her." Alexander casted a look at Ethan inquisitively.

"Why can't you show me to her room instead, I can't just follow a girl to her room like that." Ethan yammered.

Alex only casted a look of condescension at him. "Isn't that what you do your whole life." With that being said, he left him and walked away. Leaving Ethan flabbergasted and speechless at his remark.

"What?" Ethan couldn't believe what just happened.

. . .

Alyce patiently waited for the doctor, since she was supposed to wait in her room. "Why couldn't we just stay downstairs." She smack her lips in thought.

She knew she was not going to be comfortable staying with a man in a closed environment, well except for Alexander. "That is explainable." She mumbled to herself.

Especially with a hot doctor like that. She wouldn't feel as if she was getting treated at all. "Are doctors allowed to look that hot?"

"Of course they are."

Her eyes widen when she heard an unexpected reply to her shameful outloud thought.

Ethan walked in with a sexy smirk gracing his lips as he stared at her awkward state.

"Any more questions little girl?"

Alyce shook her head sideways repeatedly. She felt like shrinking down to the ground. 'Ahhh! He heard me, he heard me!. This mouth of mine.' Alyce could do nothing but scream at herself inwardly and blame her leaking mouth so badly.

"You are Alyce right?"

Alyce nodded in acceptance.

Ethan chuckled slightly. "You were speaking just now, how come now I asked a question and you couldn't speak."

"Uhh Yes,... I'm Alyce." She replied.

"Nice, you are a very interesting girl I must say. How old are you?"

"I was told I'm seventeen."

Ethan raised his seductive brows at her. He knew about the memory issue so he didn't drive deep into it. He nodded slowly and took a step closer to her.

Alyce instinctively took two steps back following his moves.

Ethan was amused by her movements. "I only approached with a step and you took two, amusing isn't it." He chuckled, making the sexy dimple at the side of his right cheek come into view. It caught Alyce's attention. It was enthralling to look at.

Alyce only had one impression about him, psycho!

He acts creepy which makes her wary of him. She didn't know if she was save with him here but since it was Alexander who called him, then…. everything should be fine, She trusts him.
