[Carlos]
I drive the van fast to reach him and I am now here on his left. I bumped his car going to the right that is why he doesn't have any choice to change route. The path is taking us away from the city and this seems going from a working place.
“Give up, Duke!” I bumped his car going on the side.
“No! I won't let you win this!” Duke replied and bumped me also on my side, “You'll kill me first!” he drives the car fast and I left behind because the van is not capable on that kind acceleration.
“He is now on his way in the abandoned warehouse,” Vincent said and they still following him with the lights of the helicopter.
I changed the magazine of my gun and goes down as I arrived on this abandoned warehouse. Duke's car is parked messy and the door of the trunk left open. He might have her inside that's why I followed. There is no lights coming from the inside
[Christmas]I’m letting my tears to fall together as the rain drops coming from the grey sky. I am watching him who is looking at me without tears for my mom’s death. An evil smile glimpsed at his face before he turned his back at me. In the first place that I saw Carlos, I never like him. He is just 2 years older than me and yea, my mom become his sugar mommy. Gross! But that isn’t bothering me this moment.“Christmas, let’s go!” Carlos shouted, standing right in front of the car waiting for me.Six months after my mom brought him in our house…“Don’t worry, Baby. My daughter will understand why are you here.” My forehead knotted as I heard what my mom said. I’m just right here at the kitchen, finding something to eat that’s why I heard her clearly. I walk out in the kitchen to see what is going on.“Oh, Christmas,” my mom uttered as s
[Christmas] Exactly at noon, I decided to go outside in my room, bringing my black backpack where I putted all my things that I’m going to use tonight. I haven’t heard anything from him as she tried to go inside my room recently. Maybe he is in his work by now. That’s a good thing because I can go now. I immediately walk downstairs and run through the door but my forehead knotted when I can’t turn the knob. It’s like the door was locked from the outside.“What the hell?” I try turning again the knob but it was really lock and I know who did this. Carlos! He is really had something in his head. I run towards the backdoor and it was locked at the same time. In frustration, I pulled my hair and headed back in the living room. My eyes averted at the window and a smile formed on my lips. I walk through the window and open the sliding glass before I go out. “I guess he forgot to lock the window. Tsk.”
[Christmas]“Hmm,” I groaned as I felt someone is carrying me. As I opened my eyes, it was Carlos who is carrying me heading upstairs. “P-put me down asshole.” I said, groaning in so much pain of my body.“No, not until we get in your room,” he replied. My body was in pain as the car that I’m riding bumped in a store. I remember Kashia’s condition before I passed out and she needs help. Carlos putted me down here in my bed and my sight wasn’t that clearly. Everything around me is whirling around. I feel like I’m going to lose my consciousness again.“I’m sorry on what I’d done,” he said and start unbuttoning my clothes.“W-what are you doing? Get your hands off me,” I tried to yell but I only made a whisper.“You need to get clean and change your clothes.” He was still continuing what he is doing. “Don’t worry I won’t do anything except watch
[Christmas]One year later...(Phone ringing)I was in the middle of my sleep when the phone beside me suddenly ring. I took it under my pillow and answer the call without opening my drowsy eyes."Hello. Christmas speaking, how may I help you?" I started."Christmas! Don't tell me you are still sleeping?"As I realized that it was aunt Lorie in the other line, I automatically get off my bed and open the curtain of my window. My mouth formed an 'O', seeing the sun is already set in the sky. "I'm already awake Auntie. Actually, I'm already on my way there." I lied."Hmm," she replied in the other line, seems she is not believing me, "You better get hurry Christmas or I'm going to cut off your salary for being always late.""I'm on my way Auntie!" I yelled and hang off the line.I throw my cellphone in my bed and immediately fix
[Duke] I’m wearing my smile while driving towards the condominium where my fiancée is currently living. She didn’t answer my calls since last night and I’m starting to feel worried what is the reason. I admit that I’d been busy this past few days and the last time I saw her was last week. That’s why I bought her favorite tulips and the Earl Grey chocolate that my company producing. After three years of the car accident of my parents, I start managing the Earl Grey and it’s never been easy from the start but I already getting used in controlling the company. I stop the car as I got here in the parking lot. I am now heading inside the building, holding the bouquet and chocolate I bought for her. I know she miss me too like how I miss her so much. She will probably get surprise if he saw me. When I got in front of her unit, I took my duplicate key and open the door with
[Christmas]The shop is already closed but Duke isn't yet coming back. I am here outside, standing with my bike together his laundry basket. It's already 10:00 p.m. and I'm already thinking he forgot to get his clothes or he is on his way? I don't know which of the two but I'm still going to wait him till 11:00. I'm already tired and I want to take a rest."Oh, Christmas, why are you still here?" asked of the old lady who always clean her clothes here in the laundry shop. She owns a Flower Shop that is two blocks away from here and we are living in the same apartment. Our room is just facing each other in the third floor. She told me to call her granny since I am like a granddaughter to her. Granny doesn't have her family here in Florida because they are all living in California."I am waiting someone to get this laundry basket, Granny then I'm going home later," I answered to her question.She nodded. "I see.
[Christmas] I knew it! The thing happened to us remained only that night. Nothing more and nothing less. He left a payment for cleaning his clothes before he left at my apartment. It's been one week but I'm still hoping that he will step inside here in the shop. For what? To make clean of his clothes again or to talk about what happened to us?Smash!“Christmas!” I came back to my senses when Aunte Lorie smashed the counter that I supposedly to clean. I could see her fury eyes nearly because her face is just in front of me. I can even see her large pores. Gross!“What, Auntie?” I asked innocently.“You are not working!”“I am, Auntie," I replied and continue wiping the table with the cloth I am holding. “See? I'm working. Hehehe.”“Stop playing around!” She yelled and go back at her mini office.“Stop play
[CHRISTMAS]Duke brought me here at the Holy Grain Coffee Shop that is only nearby. He is now sitting in front of me and we are waiting for our order to arrive. I only order a Cappuccino while he order Dolce Latte.I'm a little bit uneasy at this moment, thinking what are we going to talk about. Is it about what happened between us that night? Oh crap! I hope it is not."Is there something troubling you, Christmas?" Duke asked in his forehead knotted."Can I go in the comfort room?" I asked permission instead of answering his question.He chuckled. "Of course, you can just don't make me wait too long."I didn't reply on him and immediately walk towards the comfort room. I face myself in the mirror and close my eyes for a second, thinking what I should do if it's that we are going to talk about."I think I can ditch and leave him here?" I said to myself in the mirror
