Dere-deresto lang ang lakad ko papunta sa Restaurant ni Asher. Sarado na halos lahat ng nakapaligid dito dahil anong oras na rin. Ang tanging nagbibigay na lang ng liwanag ay ang mga streetlight."Sia!" Rose shouted for the nth time but I didn't look back. "I swear, you will not like what you---"I could no longer understand what she was saying when I saw what was happening in front of me. "Asher..." I whispered. He tries to dodge all the blows given to him. "Asher!" I shouted and quickly approached him.I kicked the man in the stomach before going to him. "What happened to you? Are you okay? Why did you turn off your phone?!"He suddenly grabbed me by my shoulder and pulled me away from our place with all his might. I turned to the man and saw that he was holding a stick. I stood up and closed my eyes firmly. After a few seconds, I opened my eyes and looked at him. I shifted my gaze to the pole so he bumps there."Are you okay?!" I asked him again. He weakly nodded at me. "Don't clos
"Good morning!" Asher greeted me when I got down to the living room. I saw him preparing food on the table. "Kain na tayo," he stood behind me and pushed me to sit down. "Did you sleep well?" "What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Wala lang. Gusto lang kitang lutuan ng almusal. May gagawin ka ba mamaya? Samahan mo 'ko sa Restaurant.""Why would I go there with you?""That's my wish for today," he grinned before starting to eat. He's using his wish card again! "Come on, let's go! Wala ka namang gagawin, eh!" He said as he forced me into his car."Stop pushing me! I could ride your car without you pushing me!" I told him then rushed to get in his car before I slammed the door shut. I fastened my seatbelt right away before I let out a heavy sigh. "Don't you dare go somewhere alone. My sister might come to you again." I reminded him. He just nodded before driving.“Kaya nga sinasama kita, eh,” umiiling na sabi niya."Ma'am Sia, good morning po!" Vince cheerfully greeted me as I entere
"Is everything fine?" Rose asked me while sipping her coffee."Why didn't you tell me?" I asked her back. "Tell you what?""You met my sister before I did," I said before looking at her. "Do you have no idea about her or are you just pretending that you know nothing?""She's being protected by my sister. You know I can't meddle with someone else's property.""Don't say that as if my sister is a lot. She is no one's property," I quite angrily said.“Wala akong alam, okay na? My sister planned this.""I'm not buying that. Deity knows everything," I answered with my disbelieving voice."Can't you speak in Tagalog?""Can't you just leave?" I fired back. I glared at her before I turned my attention back to the movie I was watching. I don't even know why she's here. All of a sudden she emerges from nowhere."Anong plano mo? Anong gagawin mo?""What else? I'm planning to adopt them both. I'll give them the life they missed for the past years. The life they wish they had," I seriously said
I woke up the next morning when I heard someone knocking on my door. I turned my back to the door before placing my pillow on my head to cover my ears but he was so persistent."Wake up! Kanina pa ako tapos magluto ng agahan!" I heard Asher's voice before knocking again. I groaned in annoyance before getting up to open the door. I looked at him badly as soon as I opened the door but he just smiled at me before hovering over my clothes. He blinked a few times before averting his gaze."Grabe, alam kong bagong gising ka pero sana inayos mo muna sarili mo bago humarap sa akin," he said as he wiped her face using his hand. "Ano pang ginagawa mo? Magbihis ka na!" he commanded me before slightly pushing me. I unconsciously scanned my clothes and when I realized what he said I let out a soft curse before I slammed the door shut. "What the fuck. This was your fault! If you hadn't aggressively knocked..." I can't finish what I'm saying because of the embarrassment I felt."Sorry. Hintayin ka
I was feeling lazy the next day. I was exhausted because I had to save someone this morning. I had taken a shower and all when I went down but I was still drowsy."Good morning, zombie."I heard Asher's voice from the kitchen so I quickly rubbed my eyes to confirm if he was really the one I heard. I saw him wearing an apron while holding a spatula."What are you doing here?" I asked in astonishment. I walked over to the refrigerator to get some cold drinking water to wake me up."I came here to cook breakfast. Wala kayong kakainin ng kapatid mo kung hindi ko gagawin 'to," he said."We can order, you know," I said artfully."Gastos na naman," he whispers. "Tatawa talaga ako ng malakas kapag isang araw ubos na pera mo."I raised my brow at him. "Excuse me? Are you saying something?""Wala, umupo ka na diyan," he said in monotone. I heard footsteps from the stairs so I assumed that it was Aeris. And I was right. She's still in her pajamas while carrying her dog. Our eyes immediately met
"Surprise!" I frowned when I saw Kaito with a big smile in front of me."Sabi ko, surprise!" he repeated himself and acted like he's throwing confetti. I remained a poker face on my face. "Grabeng reaksyon 'yan, alam kong miss na miss mo ako!" he joked."Ha ha, funny," I said in sarcasm before slightly pushing him. "I heard someone is doorbelling. I thought I had a visitor," I said with no emotion on my face."Grabe, ako lang 'yon! Huwag mo namang ipahalatang hindi mo ako mamukhaan kasi sobrang pumogi ako lalo!"I gave him a disgusted look before closing the gate. I even laughed when he banged his head while entering."Aray! Ano ba 'yan! Ganito na ba talaga kapag matangkad?" he complained while slightly massaging his head."There's this word called stupid. It suits you," I told him."Okay lang, pogi pa rin," he said again. Why is he so GGSS? He looks like a mushroom to me! "Uy, aso! Bakit may aso?!" his eyes widened as he looked at me. He knew I was allergic to dogs. "Long story," I
"Shit," I mumbled before I ran faster. "I will kill you when I catch you! I swear. Did you hear me?!" I shouted. I turned right before effortlessly going ahead of him on his way. I was still catching my breath when I looked sharply into his eyes."I said, I'll kill you, for real," I told him before getting the wallet he snatched. The police who were chasing him also arrived and quickly handcuffed him."Thank you, thank you!" she said when I gave her wallet to her. "Maraming maraming salamat, hija!""Be careful next time," I said before turning my back. I sighed before getting the alcohol in my pocket to wash my hands then I lazily crossed over to the other road with my hands placed inside my pocket. I was just quiet as I walked into Asher's condominium.I encountered two girls having a conversation when I entered the lift but I just ignored them. "Dito ata siya nakatira. I wanna see his face for real."I heard the girl say before giggling. When I reached the exact floor, I went out
"May parcel ka raw!" Aeris shouted from the living room. I immediately went down then hurried to the gate."Si Ma'am Alessia Mackenzie po?" he politely asked when I opened the gate."That's me!" I said like a kid, I even raised my left hand before getting a parcel."Paki-pirmahan nalang po ito, Ma'am," he handed me a paper. I was smiling widely while signing it. "Thank you, po."I closed the gate before heading back inside. "What's that?" Aeris asked me. I immediately went to the kitchen to wash my hands before opening it."What else? It's a bag!" I told her. I feel like my eyes turned into a heart shape when I saw the bag. I only ordered this yesterday and was really surprised that it was shipped immediately. This is so pretty!"Saan Ate mo?" I heard Asher's voice so my smile faded. I put the bag on the table before waiting for him to come to the kitchen."Hi," he greeted me. I just raised my brow on him. "Galit ka pa ba? Sorry na, hindi naman kita sinisisi kahapon. Sinasabi ko lan
