22 Dr. Aslyn (1/2)

”Violet, there is a man waiting for you outside the campus.” one of the third year senior walk to her.

Her face looked blushing and her eyes look sparkly. Violet frowned looking at her senior expression.

”Huh?” Violet replied.

”Oh god Violet! Why don't you tell me you have a hot brother? He's so handsome. Introduce me to him, please..” she hold her hand and wriggles it.

Feeling a bit annoyed, she just nod her head. Her senior then follow her from behind and led her to the place that she mentioned before.

Violet thought it is Luke, her brother, but she was totally dumbfounded when she saw Chase figure leaning against the car door and crossing his arm looking down at the ground.

”Chase?” she asked in a surprised tone.

Look up, he smile upon seeing Violet in front of him.

”Vi.” he replied.

”Ehem..Violet.” her senior nudge her arm making her turned her eyes to her senior beside her.

A bit awkward, she still introduce her to Chase.

”Chase, this is my senior. Julie. Julie, this is Chase. Urm, my neighbor.” she said looking at both of them.

Julie extended her hand want to greet him, but he just bow his head a little before smiling.

”Shall we go, Vi?” he turned his eyes to Violet.

Julie retract back her hand. Violet feel more awkward with this situation right now. She don't know how to react.

”Come on, you'll be late for your shift.” he hold her waist and bring her closer to him before he open the passenger door.

Get inside the car, Violet still silent until 5 minutes after he drive off from the campus.

”Why didn't you greet her properly?” she asked after a long silence.

”I smile and bow my head a little.” he said casually.

”I saw that, but she want to handshake with you.”

”But, I don't want to.”

”But..”

”No buts..i just don't like to touch other person if there is no need to do so.” he cut her word. His voice was plain like always.

”Are you perhaps.. germophobe?” Violet ask while scrunching her eyebrow.

”To certain people only.”

”Oh wow! Uh- I need to change my attire first before I go to the cafe.” she change the subject and since she know his new secret,she thought it's better to stay clean beside him. Even though he never said anything about her hygiene or anything, she still want to take the precaution.

Chase take a quick glance to her and nod his head.

6 months pass within a blink of eyes.

Within this seven months Hazel attitude toward Alan and Aslan has improved as they usually spend their time together more often then other occupant.

Akiko, Joe , Nigel and Lola are currently busy with case that they handle in a far country. Hazel let the case under the care of the four of them since she still need to monitor Aslan until Mr. Brandon return back from his long vacation after Christmas.

...

For dinner, Alan decide to make some herb rice and meat stew. He prepared the ingredient along with Aslan as his kitchen helper today.

Hazel approach them at the kitchen and sit on the stool silently. She used his right hand to support her chin and stare at both of them.

Alan wear a white long chef hat and apron while Aslan copy his attire. They keep talking until they didn't realize that Hazel were behind them.

”Ok Done!” he said happily looking at Aslan. Aslan put both of his hand on the air.

”I'm done too!” he giggles.

”Let's eat. Otherwise, princess Elsa upstairs will freeze us both.” he turned his body around and found Hazel already staring at him.

”Oh god! Jeez Hazel! You're scared me.” he yelled a bit.

”Mhm? Who is this Princess Elsa, if I may know?” she lift up her eyebrow making Alan stuttered.

”Err…it's..no one..yeah, no one.. just imagination that i play along with Aslan. Right, buddy?” he shift his eyes to Aslan.

Aslan nod in a yes hurriedly when seeing his Uncle Papa in trouble.

”O-kay..I'm hungry..let's eat!” Hazel said and Alan start to prepare the cutlery and glassware for her.

After sipping his soup that he made, Hazel look up at him.
