Yau Fic Chapter 2

An aroma of spices and jumbling wakes Clarissa up abruptly. Alarmed she looks around and up at the doctor holding her. "Ayyyyeeeeee!!!!!! What are you doing?!??!?!?!" She screams as she smacks him across the face. Startled he almost drops her but he quickly regains composure.  "Please refrain from violent behavior, I was just carrying you home." He whispers calmly despite his clearly agitated, red hand printed face. "Put me down!!!!" The blushing girl yells with force. He lowers her legs to the ground, she tries to stand but starts to stumble. Quickly he wraps an arm around her and pulls her to his chest. "Be careful!!!! You just got out of the clinic idiot!!!" He exclaims. Her eyebrows bunch together at his words. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT?!" She screams back as his other hand covers his left ear. He glares back at her, "Are you going to shut up and let me help you or would you rather fall and crawl home?" There is a moment of awkward silence as she looks up into his eyes with frustration......... her sulky face turns away from him and she slumps in his arms in defeat. "That's what I thought." He replies smugly. He stoops down an little bit and places his arm under hers, she leans on him as he turns back towards Bolles Manor and they hobble together until she is back to her bed. Lee Yau sets her down carefully then removes his stethoscope and checks her pulse. Silently he crouches down and gently applies pressure up and down Clarissa's legs. "Im fine! Just leave me alone!" She says with a blush on her face. He notices her redness and immediately draws close, placing his hand on her forehead, his face a few inches away from her own and his eyes fixed on her intently. Her eyes open wide, slightly shocked then she looks down and twirlers her thumb. "Umm.. w-what are you.... what are you doing???" She stammers, the redness crawling up even to her ears. "Hmmm... your face is red but you dont seem to have a fever maybe I shou-" THWACK! "Owwww!!" He yells out as he holds his head, "What was that for?!" She glares at him angrily, "For being stupid!!!! Baka!" He looks back up at her quizzically, "I dont understand. I was merely checking if you had a fever, how does that make me stupid? And what is a baka?" She sticks her tongue out at him then replies with crossed arms, "a baka is a baka and that's all you need to know." His eyebrows knit together for a moment before he sighs. "Fine, I am done here. You seem to be just fine." He stands up and turns around but pauses for a moment and looks around. "What now dooooctor?" She says sassily. "Once you feel better maybe you should work on fixing it up in here, even my bedroom looks nicer than this." He replies before walking out the door, leaving an opened mouth girl gapping at him from her bed.

"I cant believe that no good, two faced doctor... making fun of my bedroom! What's the point of decorating if I am just going to leave?" Clarissa grumbles as she takes a soapy cloth to the kitchen counter and scrubs. Hours went by as she sweeps, mops, and dusts around the room and kitchen. For such a small place there was a lot of work to be done. Around noon there is a tiny knock at the front door. "Coming!!" Clarissa yells as she makes her way to the door. Peach is standing on the other side with a huge Perch in her hands and a massive grin on her face. "Issa!!! Grandpa let me have one of the fish he caught today! Can you make it for me? You always make the best fish ♡" Clarissa smiles, "Hai hai. Come on in. Though I dont have any recipes for Perch but Ill make up something." Peach hands the Perch over to Clarissa and plops down on the bed. (Even my bedroom looks nicer than this) the thoughts run through Clarissa's head and she rubs the top of her head with both hands in frustration, (Man I don't even have a couch or a table for her to sit at...). She takes the fish into the kitchen and begins to skin, chop, and debone it on the wood cutting board. "Issa did you clean? It looks so nice in here now!!" pipes Peach. Clarissa blushes and grins, (Peach is such a good girl!!!). "Mmhmm I did a little cleaning. I figured maybe it wouldnt be so bad to at least make it presentable in here." Peach kicks her legs back and forth on the side of the bed while she looks around, "But Issa, should you be doing this much work? I found you on the ground yesterday, Yaus said you worked too hard!" Clarissa makes a firm, loud chop at the fish upon hearing his name. "Aw sweetie Im doing alright now. I didn't know you were one that found me." Peach gets up off of the bed and walks over to the TV. "Yup! Grandpa came home and was worried so he sent me to check on you. You didn't answer when I knocked so I had a look around the farm. It was hard to find you with all the tall weeds and trees... I couldn't wake you up either! I ran to get Yaus and he got up and ran with me to you real quick!" She says as she turns on the TV, Elly's Cooking Program popping up on the screen. Clarissa pauses, "........he ran? Lee Yau ran to get me?" Peach wipes her drool as she stares at the screen and gives a mindless "Yup!" (..........he ran..... he never runs....) Absent mindedly Clarissa continues to cut the fish for a few minutes while thinking about Lee Yau until the fish is finely diced. "Oops!!" (......errrr what am I going to do with this fish now?????) She stares down at the fish. (Oh I know!) Opening up the cabinet, Clarissa grabs a bag of rice, some carrots, and some peas. She fills a pot with water and sets it on the burner to boil. Cutting the carrots into thin slices, she seperates the pieces and dumps everything, including two cups of rice, into the the boiling water. After 5 minutes she turns the pot to low heat and puts a cover on it. Then she begins cleaning the cutting board. A while later a small blond head peeks past the kitchen opening. "Mmmm Issa, whatever you are making smells good!!!!" Peach coos as she eyes the pot with stars in her eyes. Clarissa laughs, "It's not ready yet, go sit back down and watch TV." Peach skips into the kitchen, "I dont want to watch anymore, I want to talk with you!" Clarissa smiles, "What would you like to talk about?" Peach ponders for a moment, "Is Yaus your Prince?" Standing up straight with her mouth wide open Clarissa stares at the little girl dumbfounded. "W-w-w-w-what? Why would you ask something like that?" Peach stares up at her with admiration and excitement, "Because he held you like a princess!!!!! I wanna be held like that someday!!!!! Maybe I should ask Justin to pick me up like that... hmmm I wonder if he would...?" If Clarissa had been drinking water it would have been spit out all over the floor, luckily for her and her newly polished floors she was not. "Peach, he was just taking me to the clinic. And you are too young to have thoughts like that anyways!!! Plus a stuck up snot like him is hardly a prince." Peach winked at Clarissa, "You never know, he could be. Issa you shouldn't be talking like that, God says that kind of talk is not very nice." (God? God hasnt spoken to me in a long time.) She kept quiet though, it was best not to upset Peach. The little girl started rambling about her day as Clarissa added seasoning and olive oil to the fish, rice, and veggie mixture. She turned the burner up to medium heat and stirred until the rice was crisp. Grabbing two bowls, she poured in the rice mixture for two medium sized portions. She grabbed two sets of chopsticks out and handed a bowl and set to Peach. They made their way back to sit on the floor and watch TV while munching away and happily chit-chatting.
