Chapter 9: This man is too good at seducing women...
EDEN ESTATES.
SAINT VILLA.
It was the first weekend since August Maijune moved into Eden Estates with Aaron.
August Maijune could count with her fingers the number of times she saw Aaron Saint. He left before she woke up and returned only after she went to bed.
Having a big house with a housekeeper who only came to prepare their food and clean the house at certain hours of the day made August Maijune felt like she was the real definition of what people called the 'lazy bone'.
She didn't have anything doing and because of that she somewhat felt out of place. August Maijune did so many things in that one week to try and remember who she was but she only ended up with serious headache and decided against it.
August Maijune woke up when it was almost time for brunch and went downstairs. As she strolled down the stairs she saw Aaron Saint who had just returned from his weekends workout and was gulping down a cup of water as he stood by the vanity table dividing the kitchen from the hall.
August Maijune looked at his abs which rose up and down as he breathed and thought of the movie she watched on that Friday called 'The Seductive President Huo'.
August Maijune couldn't help but relate to the main character in the movie called Iva who couldn't help falling for her boss, the president.
August Maijune felt she really was Iva as she watched Aaron Saint with that tone-fine body. There was only one sentence that could describe her feelings in one. 'This man was really good at seducing women'. Aaron Saint put the cup down and looked at August Maijune on the stairs and spoke.
''Are you hungry?''. August Maijune shook her head and spoke as she got down.
''Where is aunt Cate?''
''She asked for the day off. Are you hungry? I will prepare you something to eat''. Aaron Saint said as he watched her come down the stairs.
''Yeah, I suddenly feel hungry, very hungry'' August Maijune blushed and looked away.
''Pancakes will do, right?''. Aaron Saint asked.
''Sure, pancakes are good''
''Good, I will change quickly and be back. I'm taking you somewhere after we have eaten''
Before August Maijune could ask, Aaron Saint had already run upstairs to his room.
...
Aaron Saint pulled over in front of a hotel building and got down. August Maijune got down with him and looked at the sign and stepped back towards the car with her arms across her chest and spoke.
''Is this where you wanted to take me to after brunch?'' Aaron Saint looked at her strange behaviour and sighed.
''Just what kind of thoughts are you having?'' Aaron Saint asked with a frown.
''Is not what kind of thoughts I am having but what you are planning to do by bringing me here. Let me just tell you, I might be someone who loves handsome men but it doesn't mean I will sleep with them just like that, okay?'' August Maijune said and stepped back creating a distance between them.
"August Maijune, do you really think I will bring you to this kind of place if I wanted to sleep with you?''
''Then, why are we here? You better tell me the truth before I scream''.
''We are here to see a neurosurgeon. His office is in the last floor of this building''.
August Maijune looked at Aaron Saint with a flush and chuckled awkwardly.
''Listen, I can't prevent you from having perverted thoughts since that's what you do all day but, don't see me as a cheap man, okay? Let's go''.
" You should have said that earlier. I totally misunderstood you and thought that...we were" August Maijune tried to defend herself speaking awkwardly.
"Let's go before I strangle you to death"
August Maijune watched Aaron Saint walk away feeling bad.
SAFE PLAN BRAIN SPECIALISTS.
Aaron Saint and the Neurosurgeon, Adams watch from the monitor as August Maijune laid inside the machine. Dr. Adams looked at the computer as he spoke to Aaron Saint.
''There is nothing abnormal about her. She is fine. Her brain looks fine and there is no internal damage to the skull''.
Aaron Saint sighed. ''Then, why can't she remember anything?''.
''Sometimes, it could be a psychological problem. Why don't you visit a psychiatrist with her? You know, her subconscious mind could be refusing to open up due to some trauma prior to the accident''
''A trauma prior to the accident? Okay, thanks''.
Aaron Saint thought about what the doctor said and frowned. He didn't like how clueless he was about August Maijune's condition. He was afraid that there was something more than normal about August Maijune.
INSIDE AARON'S CAR.
August Maijune looked at Aaron Saint sternly as he drove and said ''do you think I'm pretending to not know anything about myself?''
''No, I just wanted to make sure you were alright." Aaron Saint answered without looking at her.
''Why don't I believe you?'' her voice sounded heavy.
''August Maijune, I don't care whether you regain your memories or not, because, you will always be with me. I am not going to let you go anywhere. Hungry?''
August Maijune shook her head caught off guard and said ''yes, sorry, I am hungry.''
Aaron Saint changed lanes and drove towards a restaurant.
SIGHT RESTAURANT
Aaron Saint pulled over and a valet took over the car and he spoke to August Maijune.
''Follow me''. August Maijune walked fast to catch up with him. August Maijune stood at the entrance and looked at the restaurant totally mesmerised and said.
''This place is so divine, Aaron Saint. Are we really going to eat here? Doesn't it cost a fortune to eat at a place like this?''.
August Maijune walked absent-mindedly and bumped into Aaron Saint who had stop to look at her ''sorry, I didn't see you''
''It cost a fortune so make sure you finish everything we order you foodie''.
August Maijune frowned and they turned to go towards a private room and saw Liyah Myers walking out of one of the private rooms. Liyah Myers saw them and looked surprised before she spoke.
''Aaron, hi''.
''Hi, Miss Myers''.
Liyah Myers frowned and masked her sadness and replied.
''Do you really have to be so polite?'' Someone would think we are strangers''.
Liyah Myers looked at August Maijune and spoke ''you must be August Maijune?''
August Maijune looked at Liyah Myers from head to toe and spoke ''Saint, who is this woman and why did she call you by your first name?''
August Maijune's question was not something Liyah Myers expected, hence it made her flustered for a while but she quickly masked her emotions well as she spoke.
''I am Liyah Myers, Aaron's friend''.
''I see, Saint has never mentioned you to me. I guess you're not that important to him, because I know his friends very well''. August Maijune said and looked at Liyah Myers innocently.
Liyah Myers bit her lower lip, a habit she does when she is annoyed. Liyah Myers clutched her fist angrily and looked at Aaron Saint and spoke.
''Don't you think you're been rude especially since we are meeting for the first time, Miss Maijune? Aaron, can I have a moment with you?''
August Maijune puffed her chest and flipped her hair backwards and spoke to Aaron Saint.
''Is that our room? I will be going in first'' August Maijune made a final look over at Liyah Myers before entering the private eating room.
Aaron Saint watched August Maijune as she went towards the room and opened the door and went inside. Liyah Myers flashed an innocent smile and spoke to Aaron Saint.
''Is that what you've been enduring every day? That girl is so rude. How do you cope with her? I bet she is so annoying? Well, what can we expect from a girl who was in coma for five years. I somehow feel responsible for her too. Since it was because of me that you got into the accident with her''.
Aaron Saint's eyes darkened and he glared at Liyah Myers making her fret.
''Let this be the last time you will ever talk about August in that manner. Liyah!!''
''Aaron, are you seriously scolding me because of that girl? She is just a stranger to us''. Liyah Myers spoke as if wronged.
''No, you are wrong. August is not a stranger to me. She is a very important person to me and you don't have the right to say anything about her. She is rude? Yes, that is what is most charming about her. Excuse me, Miss Myers''.
''Aaron!!''
Liyah Myers watched Aaron Saint walked away to the room.
PRIVATE ROOM.
Aaron Saint closed the door behind him and looked at August Maijune who was busy devouring the food in front of her. August looked up and saw him ''this food is so delicious. I didn't eat all the meat''.
Aaron Saint sat across her and started eating.
"Was she the one? The perfume from the other day?" August Maijune didn't manage to ask the question on her mouth tip after seeing the stern look and aura Aaron Saint gave. She decided not to be a busybody and enjoy her food.
