Siren Song 165 Coffee And Croissants Ii

Sitting up he ma.s.saged his aching temples, reaching for some clothes to put on to take care of the incessant ringing. Feeling around blindly he remembered that he had left his suitcase at her grandparent's and didn't have anything to put on other than the suit he was wearing last night.

The bell called for his immediate attention though so he went to go get it in just his under s.h.i.+rt, boxers, and socks. Also donning his rarely seen gla.s.ses that he has in his suit pocket.

Frustrated he slumped to the door feeling his head pound from the time change as well as their late night. Justin had planned to get up a little earlier and make her breakfast, but his body's time clock was saying it was still too early. As he made his way to the door Justin clicked his tongue in distaste, her home was incredibly beautiful with an artful layout, but it bleached of any color or life like a sanitarium.

Opening the door he prepared to unleash a thorough tongue las.h.i.+ng to whoever was on the other side in vengeance for his lost sleep.

"Hey you! Are you paid on commission for every time you ring the d.a.m.n bell or are you just haunted by the ghost of vengeance against sleep! Whatever you're selling we're definitely not interested now so just leave!" Justin instantly let out a barrage against whoever had been obnoxiously ringing the bell before even fully opening it.

Once open he stood there in utter shock to see Liang Jian Amal standing there. The man stood there unfazed to Justin's tirade as if expecting it, holding a coffee tray in one hand and a bag that faintly smelled delicious and b.u.t.tery. His thick hair had been swept to the side and he wore a thick black woolen pea coat.

'Huh I should have know who it by the ridiculous amount of times that the bell was rung. He did this last time too.' Leaning against the door frame he stared at him in shock adjusting his gla.s.ses on his face.

"Wow, are you like a world cla.s.s stalker or do you have a radio antennae on your head that automatically seeks her out? Do you think you are Sherlock Holmes or Zodiac P. I., always finding her wherever she is in the world?" Justin couldn't help exclaiming looking at the man standing there stoicly ruefully.

"You know we left in a rush last night for a reason, right? Why should I let you in now when she obviously isn't ready to face you right now?" Although Justin's tone was light his black eyes held an edge to them as he looked at him.

"Well, for starters, I brought a peace offering." Liang Jian Amal gestured with the bag and the three coffee cups on the tray. "Were you not also the one who told me that she was calling for me?"

"Indeed I did and she did. Well is there chocolate in that there bag of yours?"

"I believe so, I ordered one of everything."

"You may enter for now." Justin stood aside and let Liang Jian Amal enter closely watching him as he led him through the brightly naturally lit halls to the dining room.

On the table a solitary vase of flowers stood with a single shriveled white bud lying beside it. Pulling out one of the wooden chairs he gestured to the man before heading to the kitchen.

Liang Jian Amal stood there for a moment looking around admiring the environment as Justin rummaged through her cupboards and found some plates. As he viewed the mostly pink and white bouquet, with the smattering of blue in it, he picked up the shriveled bud, a smile curling onto his face.

'I am glad you liked them.'

His eyes kept wandering back to the curved hallway that continued, after opening to the dining room, presumably where her room was. Setting the plates on the table, Justin then headed to the continued curved hallway to go knock on her bedroom door, seeing the man's eyes continually flicker over there.

"I'll go find out if shes coming out anytime soon." The man nodded in acknowledgement, unb.u.t.toning his coat in the warm house while he waited.

After making up a lie to get her out quick and listening to her reply, Justin got a sly grin on his face and tiptoed back to Liang Jian Amal.

'He he I bet she's gonna be super surprised when she sees you. ' Looking at the man sitting calmly on the other side of the table, he straightened his face and told him that she would be out in a moment.

Sipping on a coffee Liang Jian Amal gave a low humm in the back of his throat, patiently waiting as held the dessicated rose bud in his other hand, mindlessly spinning it.

Justin chatted for a bit with him, trying to get the man to respond before he heard Shar coming out of her room calling for him.

"Heh, get ready for the scream in 3..2..1." Justin held up his fingers with an evil grin and turned to look at Liang Jian Amal counting down to her entry.

She truly didn't disappoint him a d arrived right on cue. Her face instantly blanched as she let out an earth shattering scream, slapping her hands to her face before animatedly scurrying back and slamming her bedroom door.

"Hahaha ha! That was even better than I could have imagined! You should have seen the look on your face girl!" Howling with laughter Justin held his stomach in as he rocked back in his chair.

Liang Jian Amal, in sharp contrast, was concerned and immediately stood. Casting the other man a scowl he went to her room and gently knocked on the door.

"Chang? It's me. Can I come in?"
