 Prologue

One day, a beautiful, big bosomed lady with beautiful eyes of brown hazel in the left ,and olive green eyes on right, rosy white cheeks, gold hair, beautiful face and pink hipster glasses with grade of -1 and -.75. Floral patterns of pink and magenta; painting her knitted white sweater and magenta scarf, looking down reveals a long ankle length skirt of pinkish rose color and flat shoes of white; blending the color of the snow. She puts her bag with the name: Michelle K. Holmes. 

She sees a taxi as she shouts "Taxi!' and notice the male voice at her back saying "Taxi" as well. She looks at the bronzy dark brown haired man, with light brown shades covering his amber eyes while red smart phone in his pocket. He was quite tall, around 6'00 feet maroon long coat with maroon pants.

Although, half of face was covered by a red finely knitted scarf with a cartoon bear in the right-end of her scarf. The taxi stops between the two of them, as their hands touched ; when they reach for the door of the taxi; they look at each other and the guy says, "Go on… I'll find another cab…" as he moves a little further. Michelle looks at him and notices his facial features. "He's hiding his handsome face." mumbled Michelle to herself. When she's inside the cab, she says, "Airport please…"

In an office, "So… You have another resident Doctor?" asks by a rugged-sophisticated mature man, stern look, full dark-red extended goatee beard and dark red hair, white long sleeve enclosed by a brown vest and brown pants. "Well… actually you know her…" said by a man behind a big chair.

The man stands up, revealing a gray suite, white tie, brown short hair with greying temples and full beard. He wears his Lab coat with name; Bryce M. Oak. "Well… She's quite a prodigy when it comes to psychology… I chose her for residency…." said Bryce. Gerard smiles, "Your second Protégé I presume… In what field?" asks Gerard. "Psychiatry and Therapy… Mainly therapy… She's very good in micro-observation, I.Q… above 130… She's quite a Doctor in this field…" said Bryce.

The airplane lands… Michelle arranges her things when she sees someone familiar to her. A man, broad chested soldier-like presence with graying hair, sunglasses and newly cut beard of brown. "Uncle Al?" asks Michelle. Al looks at her. Michelle hugs him. "San Francisco too?" asks Al.

"Well…Yes… I will undergo residency and work as a Therapist… In Oakward," said Michelle. They take they're language. The man with the red scarf seems to be asleep. The stewardess wakes him up. "Sir…" said by her as she touches his hand and say, "He's hot!" The steward look at his face carefully, "Yup, he is…" agreed the Steward. "No! Fever hot…" said the stewardess. Michelle observes him and she say, "I'm a doctor… Let me check him…" implied Michelle as she touches his forehead.

"Okay… He's quite hot…" said Michelle. "Yeah, because you are a woman…. He's quite… I think I agree with you…" replied Al. "No Uncle, High fever…" said Michelle.

Chapter 1: Warming The Cold

Al seems to be intrigued of the man's face as they enter the airport's clinic. He realizes it few minutes later as he sits down outside the clinic. Michelle sits down next to him. "He looks familiar…Hector! Bryce should now this!" said Al as he calls someone on his smartphone. On the other side of the line. "Yowh… Al long time no hear! WHAT?!" asks Bryce as he stands up out of shock. "They found Hector!" said Bryce. "Where are they?" asks Gerard. "Airport…" replied Bryce. 

"We're coming…" said Bryce as they go out from classical study room-office. Back at the airport, Hector wakes up in a room, glancing at the ocean shore, with gentle waves crashing softly and seagulls chirping along the waves. The pleasant chilly spring air…can't leave a smile on Hector's face. 

He looks at the room's mahogany interiors, soft red curtains of the window with the familiar terrace with newly blossoming spring flowers. He notices someone's hands holding his right hand. As he looks further, Bryce face, greeted him with a soft deep voice, "Hey there buddy…" said Bryce, "Pops?" replied Hector as he started to laugh nervously. Bryce hugs him in his crisscross manner and Hector hugs him back. "Look at you! You… you matured! Ugh! I miss you buddy…" added Bryce.

Gerard goes out and say, "Let's leave the two of them alone," As Michelle and Al follows him. "By the way… This is my niece… Michelle…" said Al. "Hello… Wait… You are Mich and Elle's daughter!" exclaimed Gerard. "It's nice to personally meet you…" said Michelle. "Pleasure is mines..." replied him. 

They go inside an indoor garden, with some tall bamboo fence covering the other side of the garden. The Garden was full of spring flowers, bees and butterflies. It's quite a happy sight to behold as they sit on a table set, near a koi pond. "Wait… Is that bamboo fence covering an Onsen or Hot Spring something?" asks Michelle. "Good… You're a lady of your culture as well… It's a manmade hot spring pool with medicated saline and sulfur water…" said Gerard . "You still work as a butler… Why?" asks Al. 

"No… I train the butlers, maids and gardeners for new things from time to time… Sometimes I proxy …Bryce in meetings or events, but I got my Restaurant… it's being renovated." said Gerard as he goes inside the hallway door. "Wait… HE was a butler?" asks Michelle. 

"Well before he was in the army…Then we were bunk mates with Gerard, Bryce and Rex…Rex was Bryce's older adoptive brother by the way… I wonder what happened to those buddies of mine… Well they are parenting and co-parenting their sons. " said Al. "Wait… I'm not grasping it yet…. Dr. Bryce wwas an Army medic… But is Mr. Gerard a Butler-co parent?" asks Michelle. "Yes, well… It's a long story." replied Al. Michelle takes a biscuit and asks, "Wait… He has 5 sons right? All adopted?"

"Well… Technically only Bruce is adopted Bryce actually out way the real parents of Lance or Vens. Hector and his little brother was orphaned they lost both of their parents when they are younger… And Eleanor pops up from time to time as a mother figure…" said Al.

 Michelle seems to be blushing, as if she is thinking some dirty thoughts and she squeak and laugh. 

Al looks at her with squinting eyes and say, "What is it Michelle?"

 Michelle covers her mouth and shrug. "Spill it out…" said Al. "I thought Doc and Gerard were gay… Like, hetero acting gay…" replied Michelle. Al laughs and say, "Bryce has a girlfriend, a German Woman! Or secret wife… I met her once… they're like 5 years already… She was a hot like a supermodel! Remember Uberlund?" asks Al. "That's a Pretty humungus company!" replied Michelle. "She owns that Realstate Company… She was 44 I think… But damn she looks 28, quite fierce… intimidating… Shhh… Bryce's sons did not know… they are married" said Al as they continue towards a big hall.

They are amazed by the main hall, The fascinating a marriage of modern and classic design of brown, black, white and gold. "This place screams Masculine-Gentleman-somewhat pervert-playboy-mansion…" said Michelle. 

"First of all, why playboy? Why pervert? Only Masculine and Gentleman was right…" said Al as he looks at his watch. "Well, when will you start in the Hospital?" asks Al. "Tomorrow, The hospital is 4 blocks away…" said Michelle. "I asked Bryce and Gerard to look after you…. SO I'll be leaving after I visit my kids and my ex… Then I'll be off to Los Angeles…" said Al. "But… You are not staying?" asks Michelle. "Don't worry, you are hardy as your uncle Al!Beside…Elle" said Al.

 Michelle seems to be saddened a little. Al says; "Sorry Michelle, Just give Mich and Elle sometime to resolve everything between them." Michelle and Al inhales and say in unison; "Convoluted" They laugh a little. 

Al stands up and walk past Gerard as he say, "Take care of my niece…" said Al. "I will…" answered Gerard. Michelle wanders around. "Anyways… You are Mich and Elle's daughter… Who's your real dad?" asks Gerard. She replies, "They said, it was someone mom and mama's friend… Nikolai Valadger… I don't buy it…" Gerard sips some tea. Michelle looks at him with an annoying grin. "Tsk… Stop looking at me like that… Man up and say it…" said Gerard.

 She laughs as Gerard say, "We met before and you are quite as inquisitive as your mom Elle and quite smart like your mama Mich…" said Gerard. "You do sure remind me of someone…You are kinda daddy-ish?" asks Michelle. Gerard drinks tea. Michelle says, "What do you kids call you if not Daddy?" 

 Gerard laughs a little and say, "Papi… They call Bryce Pops…" replied Gerard. "Do Doc call you honeybear or somethin'?" asks Michelle. Out of realization he spits the tea and say, "What the fuck?! All this time you think I and Bryce is in a… I can't even describe it… LOOK! Damn…Mich's personal culture rubbed you the wrong way… and no… I work here as caretaker of my friend's orphans…And No… I AM STRAIGHT! So is Bryce." replied Gerard. 

Michelle stops and says, "I'm really sorry… I should've…" as she pause out of awkwardness. Gerard calms down and say, "Look… Michelle… I'm sorry… You just caught me off guard…" said Gerard. Michelle grins a little and say, "Can I also call you Papi?" asks her. "No…" replied him. 

"But… is there any chances…?" asks her. Gerard squints his eyes. Bryce goes out of Hector's room and go downstairs, trying to find them. "Bryce, we are here…" said Gerard. Bryce takes off his stethoscope Bryce joins them. "Michelle, May I burrow Gerard for a while?" asks Bryce as they go to study room, Inside the study room/office. Gerard and Bryce open the door and go inside. "This is running off hand… The Inn he worked at was burned down...after an Explosion…" said Bryce.

Bryce sits down. "Bryce! This is too much for him, he might experience it again." said Gerard. "I never Imagined it will come to this…" answered Bryce after a realiaztion. "Bryce… I'm starting to get concerned on Hector's condition…" said Gerard. Bryce calls someone on the phone. "Hello, Is Joy there?" asks Bryce. Gerard and Bryce prepare and go to the hallway leading to the garage. They look at the two cars, one is a Brown van and the other a silver family car. 

Hector stands up. Hector notices the sun setting with colors red orange, pink, yellow orange and violet. He smiles and say, "I'm home…" said Hector as he looks at the bandages and wounds I.V.F. on his left hand. Michelle goes inside. 

"Hello again…" said Michelle as she glances at his golden amber eyes, charming her in the process. She looks away. Hector smiles and say, "Hello…". Michelle laughs that calms her down and she exhales. I never knew you are one of Dr.Bryce's adopted sons…" said Michelle as she takes a thermometer and give it to him. "Please put this in your underpit…" implied Michelle as Hector do puts it inside his shirt towards his underarm.

"You know… you kind of look like a fairy tale's prince charming… Handsome, quite a charmer and have very pleasant presence near you… but… you are quite a silent type…" said Michelle. Hector replies, "Wow… I'm not really like that… especially prince charming…" as he continues to read a book. 

The silence, sophisticated presence ,as he lifts the page of the book entices Michelle even more. "Hey… I think I knew you…" implied Hector putting a happy face. The thermometer sounds and Hector gives it to her. 37.8 Celsius…. It's you are still have a fever, at least it is better now… Have been like this for few days?" asks Michelle as she seemed concerned on what happened to Hector. Hector looks at her with a smoldering face. "Come on… What's actually bugging you…" asks Michelle. 

Hector shrugs and say, "I'm fine…" Michelle exhales as she says, "I happened to overheard Gerard and Doc. "Pops… Am I worrying him a lot again?" asks Hector. "Well sort off." replied Michelle. "Did he say something?" asks Hector. "Well he was worried like… As if you endangered yourself in a fire… maybe rescue some people… and fail to rescue someone…" said Michelle. "My Pops is one of the smartest people I knew… Especially his micro-observation… Oh Well…" replied Hector as he puts the book down and say, " I failed to rescue something... a dog" said Hector. 

Michelle looks at him and say, "Is there a matter between you and doc, you didn't talk that much…" said Michelle. "Whoa… Whoa… I don't need a therapist" replied Hector. "Seriously, your Pops is worried, Gerard was worried, I'm also worried… everyone thus…" said Michelle.

Michelle remembers Bryce's words; "You will be a therapist on someone special to me" as she says, "You will be my first patient…" said Michelle. Hector laughs and say, "Okay… But for the last time I checked, I am sane... Thank you… I don't need help," said Hector. Michelle smiles and say, "Okay… I will help you… Nice to meet you anyways… " said Michelle as she reaches for hand and prepares for a handshake with a smug on her face. Hector smolders.

"Dr. Michelle Kastle Holmes… I will make things awkward between us until you will open up to me and let me help you…" implied Michelle. Hector handshakes her hand. "Okay… I will be stubborn until you give up…Hector Wissex Anderson." said Hector as they laugh. 

The vanilla white with good blush of deep blue covers the newly dusky, cloudy evening sky. Hector looks at his smartphone and realize the evening sky. "Oh no…" said Hector. Michelle asks him, "You are Bruce's best friend right… I'm Sherry's best friend…" said Michelle. Hector looks away. "Yes… Wait… wait… wait! I think we saw each other in their wedding…" said Michelle. "Actually… I…" he sighs and say, "I'm the best man… Who run away…" said Hector.

 Michelle karate chops his head and he says, "Hey! That really hurt!" Michelle strikes him again as she replies, "You ditched me! Dumbass!" said Michelle. "Wait… I did what?!" asks Hector. "I'm the maid of honor! You! YOU!!!" said Michelle as she walks out.

"Doc… Maybe… I need some air…" said Michelle as she goes out of the terrace. Bryce sighs again and Gerard implies, "At least she found Hector's medical records! He's been asleep for few… almost a week before he got here… He's quite better…" replied Bryce. Gerard taps Bryce's shoulder. "Hector is really hurt but he don't notice it…" said Bryce as he goes upstairs and inside Hector's room. Hector was laughing as Bryce sees him. Bryce froze and say, "OH! MY GOODNESS! Have you lost your sanity?!"

 Hector sees him with a dazzled questioning look and say, "Uhm…no…Michelle…is.. kinda, something…" as he giggled even more. "It's seems you're having a lot of fun Hect…" said Bryce. Hector coughs from too much laughing, gracefully.

 Gerard goes inside and laughs at Hector undergoing asthma. Gerard throws him his inhaler, hitting his forehead. "Aw! Papi!" replied Hector as he uses the inhaler and uses it. "Why did you hit my forehead!" asks Hector. "I missed…" replied Gerard. They start to laugh hard as Hector takes another shot of the inhaler but his laughter gets even louder as it echoes in the hallway. "Hey… Enough laughing!" said Gerard. "Sorry…" said Hector. Bryce plays with Hector's face.

"Are you worrying too much Pops?" asks Hector. "No… Well, I mean... You've been gone for 5 years, you are erasing your traces and I admit it you are good at erasing your traces like your Uncle Rex…." said Bryce. "How's Abel…" asks Hector.

 "He's managing the hospital… I let him learn more things as the Hospital's head… He's quite good…" replied Bryce. Hector holds his other shoulder and asks, "Uhm…" Bryce holds his shoulder. "Bruce and Sherry are fine… They have a 4 year old son, Bryan… They came here lunch time… Bruce did not go inside… He says, 'I know he don't want to see me…' He seems guilty that Sherry chose him over you…" said Bryce. As Hector seem to be saddened hearing that. 

Bryce smiles and put his hand on Hector's head and shakes his hair. "You two will be fine…" said Bryce. The maids and butlers prepare the dining area. Michelle, fresh from the bath, as she goes down the stairs in her white T-shirt ,and pink pajama with matching fluffy white slippers.

 Her haired tied without her make-up, but thus making her attractive as usual. Michelle glares at Hector. Gerard was talking to someone on the phone. "Ugh… Bryce… Urgent… It's Rex… He arrived." said Gerard. "Ugh… Sorry… Hect… I'll be gone for few hours… Hect… Be the man of the house for a while…" said Bryce as he wears his coat again. The maids serve them stir fried vegetables, the Celery and Cucumber salad with apple cider vinaigrette.

The chef brings the main dish and say, "Uh! Our Favorite Young master is back! This is a well done pork tenderloin. He opens it revealing a tenderloin barbecue stake in honey and mustard glaze. Hector goes back to his room. "Wait… why he is you favorite?" asks Michelle. "He's a really gifted Chef! Trained by Chef Claud Braun… Though… he stopped cooking for a while…" said the Chef as he goes away. "Mhhh…Impressive… That TV Chef on that Show, Steamer Pot?" asks Michelle to herself.

Few minutes later, Hector was wearing a white T-shirt and a red pajama with a red teddy bear slipper. Michelle quite laughs a little seeing him. "Let's eat…" said Hector. They go to the big table. "No… I want this to be more personal…" said Hector as they move to the terrace.

The maids and butlers take the food and move it to the indoor garden. "Wow… Are you charming me out?" asks Michelle. "Look…I'm sorry… I run away because of something else…Let's call it a date of some sort… Is that fine with you?" asks Hector. Michelle smiles and say, "Who am I to deny your invitation…" said Michelle. "Okay… Actually… you remind me of someone…" said Hector as he bites the barbecued stake in a sophisticated manner. 

"You are very refined and sophisticated…" said Michelle as Hector barfs. Michelle laughs. "You are breaking out of your character…" said Michelle. "I am not prince charming… Sophisticated, yes… Refined… maybe…But…not Prince Charming…" said Hector as Michelle she bites a celery stalk.

"Honestly, I'm sorry… I left you in the wedding…" said Hector in a very soft and heartwarming manner. Michelle seems to soften up and say, "Sorry, I'm just overwhelmed that time… Both Sherry and Bruce were excited to introduce you to me… Well, I was overwhelmed, knowing you are that guy from the business magazine before…" said Michelle. "That was quite a long time ago…" said Hector as he to pause and adds, "I… actually run away because of few problems…I'm sorry…" said Hector.

Michelle replies, "I know I am not in the right moment ,nor in the right time to ask you but… Why did you left Wallstreet?" asks Michelle. "Because…It's not really my calling…" replied Hector. "Like your Grandpa, Viktor, You are also called the young Lionheart…Lioncub."said Michelle.

Hector laughs a little. "I'm not really that strong." answered Hector. "But you are Smart and Courage… Let to know if everything has gone that way, you are as rich as your Grandfather…" said Michelle. Hector looks at her. "Did Pops tell everything to you?" asks Hector. "Yes… Some of which I figure it out… I mean… You are almost a Billionaire, on your own…" said Michelle. "Honestly… I cannot argue…IBut, I'm not…really…a business type… I rather want to cook." implied Hector. 

"Your money is in the bank…It seems you are a 'gifted' chef… I want to try your dish!" said Michelle. Hector was shocked for a second. Hector looks away and grasp his hands. "Did Pops already told you?" asks Hector. 

"In fact he didn't… I figured it out eventually… I talked to Sherry and Bruce, they say..'I miss Hector's foods…' The Chef told me Chef Claud Braun from Steaming Pot taught you..." said Michelle with a smug on her face. "No… The TV Show was Pots N' Fire…By the way… we quite knew each other…To be honest… How about, let's have a game… if you win. And I will answer why I run away, get out from wallstreet and a personal question…" said Hector. Michelle asks, "Is this a battle of prodigies?" Hector smolders and smile. "Okay… Then we will have battle of wits…" replied Hector.

 "Maybe, Let's up the ante…If I win, never ask me about it again…if you do… I'll cook for you once a week." said Hector. "Okay, If you win, I will stop bothering you and I will be your personal slave once a day in every month…" replied Michelle. "Your gutsy…" said Hector. "I'm tough… So let us start?" asks Michelle. They finished their meals and wash their hands. "Nice view… Are you trying to be romantic?" asks Michelle.

"Nope… This is a battle like in games, with a nice backdrop…" said Hector. Michelle laughs and say, "I never thought you are a nerd…Jock? Jock nerd…" said Michelle. "Yeah, You really forgotten me…" said Hector. "Okay, the game is lies and truths…" said Michelle.

 She takes a small pouch with folded papers. "You really do come prepared…" said Hector. He takes a folded paper and read it, "Rules by turn system: The questioner will receive the first points when counting…5 points to win…" said Hector. "Okay… Ladies first…" said Hector. "Okay… One… My nosebleeds in a combination of dry nose and high blood pressure, two… I fight like a girl, three I love to hunt for fun in Canada… Choose…" said Michelle. 

Hector thinks and observe her mannerism. "2… By the means of it… You don't really remember me… too bad…" replied Hector. "Okay, That's two is the only truth... 3 points…" said Michelle. Hector clears his throat. Michelle laughs. 

"I have a dog named cat, I used to be a soccer player, I ran away because I'm a coward…" said Hector. "Only three is false, 1 and 2 are true…" said Michelle. Hector looks away and touch his shoulder as he implies, "I run away because I was a coward… I am not…brave…."Michelle feels sorry for him and say, "I'm sorry… Anyways… I didn't mean to…" said Michelle. "It's fine… let us continue… I got three you got two…" replied Hector. 

Okay… 1 is I have a pet moose, 2 I hate wusses… 3 I love muscles… scientifically…" said Michelle as she picks her nose. Hector chuckles, Michelle laughs with him. "Okay… You have a pet moose is a lie…" said Hector.

 "Erk… I do have a pet moose… I hate wusses is false… I just hate douche bags…." said Michelle."Wow…4 to 4… My turn…Mhhh… I love cooking, I love baking, I love walking in the shoreline…" said Hector. "Mhhh….Tricky… Too tricky… You are Chef Braun's student… me you are good at cooking and making blue berry cookies…3! You don't love to walk on shorelines!" said Michelle.

 "As usual, just one wrong from you, I win… Questioner will receive the first counting points… You must have the perfect score to win… I hate sand in my shoes!" said Hector as scratch his nose. "Well, all are true…" said Michelle. Hector smiles and say, "I'm impressed…" said Hector. 

"Well… I admit it was hard… Especially the last one… If I have chosen just one, you would win… I almost chose number 3 but, You have many pictures of the ocean in your album…Too tricky!" said Michelle.Hector sits down in the chair as he looks at the vast ocean with the lights of the harbor miles away. "Okay…My request…tell me your investigations…" asked Hector. "Sherry and Bruce met in Spain, when your family had a trip… He met Sherry near the ocean, on a wooden bridge…" said Michelle.

Hector seems to approve. "But Viktor was with you and Abel that time to visit the Devinos… It seems Viktor and Vermont Villavino, Sherry was there to, but no they're stepdad/dad… Describe to me by their cousin Mistelle, You are 21 that time, Bruce was 23 and Sherry was 22…Well, I concluded Viktor and Vermouth are not friends but the late Cognac Villavino was once his friends… so is The Don Devino of Italia…" said Michelle. She stands up and say, "So I conclude! Gush…. What a view!"

Hector sighs and say, "Okay, please get to the point…" said Hector. "You and Sherry are supposed to be engaged… You fallen in love to her, she says 'I love somebody else' and we will be politically married…, Bruce then tells I think 'I found the love of my life…' a year passed…" said Michelle.

She faces Hector. "Bruce and Sherry saw each other... gush, This is Like Doc and her late wife's tale… Decided to get married and tell their families, well at the church really, they are married by the mayor of Los Angeles… Then, return her almost a year later… Then there, I also concluded why you runaway… You try to win Sherry back didn't you? You might have said… 'I love you'… please run away with me… But she might have told you, 'I'm sorry, you are just like a brother to me…" said Michelle.

Hector starts to look sad, as he rests his face on the railings and say, "Sherry was doubting herself… She says, 'If I marry Bruce… I will lose the trust of my uncle and stepfather… But I love him… If I marry you… I will lose that problem but… I don't love you like, I love Bruce… " said Hector. 

Hector stands and looks at her, "I do love you two Hector…But… You are just like a brother to me… Bruce… He was different, he was like a sun…always smiling…lighting up my day' She smiled and say 'I do love him, I really do!' then she goes to the car…Me ,watching here go away…I mean… Bruce is really like a smiling gentle sun, bright, funny, good looking… and He cares A LOT!" They laugh and she says, "Like a big brother... He hugs a lot! He was so fun! Also, he's a good actor!" said Michelle. 

Michelle realizes something and felt bad. She looks away from Hector and say, "Your grandpa was mad at you…maybe you fought or something." She starts to wrap her right arm around her left arm and look down. "It's fine Michelle... That's why I quit the Wallstreet…" replied Hector as looks at the sea. 

"Yes… We fought that night… He punched me, I punched him… Then it rained… For an old man he fights hard… I bet him but I break down and cried… I never taught he was that type of monster… I return home, take my things and run away…Leaving a note…" said Hector. "That 'Please don't find me message'... Your brothers, including Bruce find you franticly… But Doc said, 'Let's respect Hector's decision…' After that he knew what happened between Viktor and you…" said Michelle.

Hector looks away. "I'm sorry… I should've been… nicer. " implied Michelle. "Actually I love your frank and tough attitude… its quite refreshing." said Hector. "Well, only few can give me talk and even fewer challenges me to a game of wits…I knew about your PTSD too…" replied Michelle.

Hector looks at her and say, "I guess…I got nothing to hide." She goes away. The Main Butler goes to Hector, "Sir Hector, Master Bryce is calling…" said by him. He hands over the phone. "Pops… Yeah…Well, she's quite smart and tough… I wish I was as courageous like her, she shows her feelings a lot… She is frank and steadfast…Nah… I can handle the house… You will be back tomorrow night right?" asks Hector. He looks back. Michelle was putting things in her notebook.

The next morning, Michelle wakes up, she looks at the clock and it was 5:20 a.m. she takes her fluffy pink dog stuff toy, she looks at it. "We are quite the same right Neko-chan?" asks Michelle to her stuffed animal. "Yes Mi-chan…" replied Michelle while moving her stuff animal. Michelle yawns and stands up. She opens the curtains revealing a dawn where the sun starts to lit the sky in light pink, orange and yellow. "What a very soft sunrise…" said Michelle. 

She goes to the bathroom and brushes her teeth. She plugs the bathtub's sink and fills it with mix of hot and cold water. She looks at her soap and shampoo then she remove her clothes and go to the shower area and wash herself using soap and liquid soap.

Hector was sitting in the table while reading a newspaper. He notices the sunrise. He smiled and go to the terrace. He looks at the foggy shore lines and touch the blooming flowers. "This is nice…" said Hector. He looks at the harbor at the right side of the terrace. "It's been a while…" said Hector. The maids and the butlers serve him some bacon, eggs and whole wheat bread. Then the gardener brings fresh fruits. "Wow, this came from the garden?" asks Hector. "Yes sir… " said the gardener. Michelle goes out in her pink sundress and joins him in the terrace. She looks at the rising sun. "Join me doctor…" said Hector. "Yes milord…" replied Michelle. Hector laughs and asks, "What's milord for?" 

"Technically, you are the master of the house this moment…Plus, you are a Wissex and Wiscon… Duh! You are related to the British royal family , in some way…" implied Michelle. "Well, yeah but that's quite funny…" implied Hector. They chuckle. "But wow, I was thinking on eating fruits…" said Michelle as she picks up the strawberries. Hector covers his mouth and it seems he was laughing. "What's so funny? I am graceful, well poised and mannered…" implied Michelle. 

"No… It's just… You act lady-like but I know you are tomboyish and steadfast…You usually fight the boys that bully me or kiss me when we are young…" said Hector. "Wow, you are very much right…Wait… WHAT?!" asks Michelle out of shock. Hector looks at her and say, "You don't remember me, do you?" asks Hector. "I remember you of course… You were this eligible bachelor, a business prodigy, son of a famous Doctors both Doc Bryce and your real dad…Lector." said Michelle.

 "No… That's general knowledge…" said Hector. "Okay, the Hector who has many admirers… Despite you are not the oldest, you act like a mature man even when you are young… Mhhh…." Said Michelle. "Do I act too mature?" asks Hector. "Well…According to Lance, Vens, Abel and Bruce… Gerard always assigns you to major tasks for the house like Doc does… You are slow to anger, very patient, admired by women and men alike… your friends really do, also the Title Homo-maker" replied Michelle.

 "Nah, they are exaggerating… Why HOMO-Maker?" asks Hector in great shock. They finish their food. "I don't think so! Actually … Few of them came here, well your teammates in soccer… They almost 6 years older than you…" said Michelle. "Well me and my broskies skipped few grades…" replied Hector.

 "By the way, how old are you?" asks Michelle. "Turning 28 this year…July." said Hector. "I'm 26 last January…" said Michelle. "Do I act that mature?" asks Hector. "Well… I don't know…" answered Michelle. They stand up and Michelle remembers… Oh I need to check for your wounds and bandages first…" said Michelle. Hector seems to turns red. "Let's go the clinic…" said Michelle. Hector and Michelle go to the clinic, down the hall.

Hector sits down in the clinic bed. "Remove your shirt…" said Michelle. Hector shrug and say, "No…" said Hector. "Why?" asks Michelle. "said Hector as he flusters. Michelle realizes something and says, "You look embarrassed…,Dude! I'm a professional! I'll be professional despite how cute you are!" replied Michelle. "I'm just not used at this…" said Hector. Michelle grins and say, "Is this my no senpai moment?" asks Michelle. Hector looks away. 

"Okay, Just remove it…" said Michelle. Hector shrugs. "Okay, how about I turn back and you undress your shirt…" said Michelle as she turns back. Hector removes his shirt and Michelle. "Augh… I did move a lot again…" said Hector. 

Michelle turns back, The fresh blood splatter, showing on his bandages, as Michelle glares at his well-built chest and chiseled pale reddish body ,with very pink nipples. It made Michelle bite her lower lip. Michelle looks inside her bra and look at Hector's nipples. "You look so hot and pale but your nipples looks more virgin than a virgin girl's nipples…" said Michelle. "Hey!" implied Hector as he flustered. Michelle wears some gloves and takes a scissors. 

 On the closer look, He really do have a well built, athletic body, Michelle starts to sweat heavily ,as her face flusters too. Michelle pokes Hector's abdominal muscles. Hector groans "Hey… stop that…" said Hector but inside Michelle's mind he was saying, "Stop it Mi-chan… Baka (stupid)!… ecchi (pervert)!" Michelle starts to grin out of nowhere. 

She removes the bandage's clips. "Lean a little…" said Michelle as Hector leans while Michelle as she unwinds the bandages. Hector looks and sees a near contact with Michelle's big bosom. He avoids looking at her revealing cleavage, but he did! Michelle finishes untying it. 

 She looks at Hector's wounds in his ribs, right shoulder, arms and abdomen. "Some of the stitches re opened… But not that bad…" said Michelle. She looks at Hector as his face looks so red. "Your fever is back again?" asks Michelle. "You… Your… cleavage is… distracting…" said Hector. Michelle laughs and say, "Don't tell me you never touched a woman before?" asks Michelle. Hector flustered even more. Michelle was shocked re-adjust her dress. 

"Okay…. Your abdomen, shoulder and arm wounds closed already…" said Michelle as she checks Hector's hands. "I never taught you have calluses…" said Michelle as she pours hydrogen peroxide then alcohol on it. 

Hector flinches a little but endured it. Then Michelle puts band aid on the wounds on his hand. Then she goes back and looks at the 3 long wounds intersecting each other. She applies hydrogen peroxide, stitches opened near the end of the two wounds, with one closed wound. Michelle takes a needle and medical threads as she saw Hector's back. She notices the burn marks in his back. "This came from the fire incident?" asks Michelle. She washes his wounds with alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.

Then she covers it with cotton and medical tape. Hector wears his shirt as he looks at Michelle. Michelle seems to be flustered and she says, "Well, Let's tour first around the mansion…" said Hector. "Are you blushing?" asks Hector Michelle looks away. "No…" answered Michelle. H
