Confrontation 2

• • • •

I suddenly let go of the spoon that I was holding and looked at him with wide eyes.

Huh? How did he know? Was I too obvious? Really?

What did I say that made him think of that? If I remember what happened last night, I was doing great at concealing my emotions! Or so I say... but, it isn't that bad, right? RIGHT!?

"How did you know?" He sat properly and looked at me with a very serious expression.

"Of all the excuses that you can think of, why babysitter?" Great! Now he's answering my question with another question. But he has a point though. Why did I make that as an excuse?

Gosh, I want to slap myself right now. So, that was the only problem! I could have told him that his big sister hired me as a maid. 

And obviously, he is too old to have a babysitter. Also, no babysitter in the right mind would wear their boss' clothes. How dumb of you, Kira. 

But it is not my fault! It's because of Ate July! It's her fault. She is the one to blame. And now he's confronting me with this.

Come to think of it, isn't it, his fault too? If it wasn't for his very scary and intimidating aura, there could have been a little chance that my brain would function well at that time and I could have thought of a more decent and believable excuse!

Oh well, the damage has already been done so all I can do is just answer him honestly.

"Because I could not think of anything else." Facepalm. I really don't know what to do in these situations. I am a laid-back person so being in a vulnerable situation would not do me any good. What I would do is just think of foolish things and say something ridiculous. 

In other words, I am always relaxed in any circumstances that's why I could always think right but ever since the government notice, my mind's a total mess.

"You should have just kept your mouth shut." Ouch. That hit me but he has a point. If I did it, things would've turned out differently. 

If my excuse last night was 'being a maid', then probably, he wouldn't question me this morning and just let me do my job properly.

But who knows? There could be a possibility that he would ask his sister if what I said was true so my excuse would still be dumb and useless. He may have also let me stayed for the night but he would still ask me to leave the next morning. Besides, just by glancing at every corner, furniture, and whatsoever in this house, he wouldn't need one. There isn't even a speck of single dirt and dust! Like, WOW.

But, oh well, it has already happened. There is no use crying over spilled milk.

"If my sis really did hire you, you should not have called her 'Ate' when I was about to believe you."

Did I? I don't remember calling--oh right. I really did call Ate July, Ate. 

I pursued my lips together and looked down on the food. He is damn observant. I really need to be double careful next time when he's around but I doubt that.

I admit that I am really not good at lying in the first place that is why it'll be easy for him to read me like an open book especially when I'm not calm. Unlike him, I show too much emotion on my face which I can't deny.

There was a long silence between us eventually. I looked at him and he was eating.

I ate at a slow pace, just trying to get my stomach full even if I've lost my appetite already. He's not going to say anything, anymore? Just that?

Duh, Kira. As you can see, he isn't as talkative as you. I bet he already knows a lot about me; observing that he only confronts and clarifies me directly of things. 

He doesn't ask me things which he is very sure of the answer to it already. Like, damn. How does he do that?

And also about last night. How did he know that I'll try and sleep in the other room? His words yesterday in the evening were,

 'I know what you're thinking', so he told me that 'You shall sleep with me' 

 Was there a reason? A reason where he doesn't want me to sleep in the other room? Why? What's in there? Ugh. He is so hard to read. 

But knowing him, he would not just say it to me openly especially when we have just met.

I have a looot of questions to ask him but it would be rude if I'll just attack him with questions. 

"Ask me." I looked at him shockingly. I guess he could see on my face that I was very puzzled about something.

"Really?" I am really glad though. Now my questions would be answered.

"Yes."

"What's behind those doors? How did you know that I was about to sleep on one of those rooms? Are you keeping something? Something that you don't want anyone to know?" My eyes were glued on him as I ask one question after another.

"All three rooms are dusty and dirty."

"Eh? That's it? But why is it that, you seemed like you were hiding something? Like, you were protecting something."

"I don't want my 'beloved guest' to get dirty and dusty. That's all." I looked at him intently. Hoping to catch a glimpse of some secrets behind his icy exterior but he's good. He's good at concealing his emotions. 

But wow. 

Last night he called me his 'Yaya' and now he is calling me his beloved guest. Should I feel welcome, now?

"No more questions?"

"There's more."

"Shoot."

"Aren't you wondering why I'm in your house, right now? Why do I know your big sister? You also know that I'm not your babysitter. Aren't you gonna ask who I really am? And what's my purpose for being here?"

"Tell me." Ugh. Seriously, now? I wasted a lot of energy just by asking him those questions and that's his answer?? 

Damn this man.

    Ferris Wheel• • • • •I looked around and saw a lot of rides, food stalls, and game stalls. There are also a lot of people.I shifted on my seat and wrinkled my forehead. It was like I've squished something that's overloaded with so many weird things.How bothersome even though I've changed not too long ago.Neal arrived with a lot of food with him like tempura and kwek kwek on a plate, lemonade juice, and other foods that have been put on a container.Slowly, I stood up and excused myself, bringing the bag with me, and went to do my thing.We happily ate and stayed there for a minute to talk about the fun things we'll do first."What do you want to ride, first?""You." I shrugged at him. Well isn't it a wise choice to let him since it is still my first time here?"Wait, what?" He

Damn, I really hope it's not that hard especially when it is still my second day today.We were now in front of the big screen while Neal was leaning on the railing that was not that far away from me.Omg. I wouldn't have noticed until now that more and more people are gathering around us if it weren't for me peeking at Neal. This is making me so goddamn nervous.Yes, I did join a dance squad before but that was all just for fun. I never danced in front of a lot of people nor do something in front of a stage. It's too embarrassing.I looked at Neal again and he was already staring at me. He gave me two thumbs up and smiled, making me feel relaxed.My gaze went back to the screen again when it showed a song which is 'Sorry not Sor

  • Ready or Not    Chapter 47: Just Dance

    Just Dance• • • • •I silently observed both of them. The tarsier's boyfie was very nervous and shaking while Neal was very calm and cool for me but I bet that others would see him as cold and evil for having an intimidating aura around him.Even his opponent seems frightened.I covered my ears. People started to cheer loudly for Neal when his opponent has started to miss a lot and lost the match while he continued, reaching for a very high score of 550.Wow. I bet this is his first time playing basketball again since graduating high school or college and yet, he is still this amazing. He barely missed a shot as he fires them at the net with a breakneck pace.I grinned widely and approached Neal, giving him a thumbs up. He smiled at me and kneeled down, picking up the tickets that were endlessly pouring out of the machine.I peeked at

    The Basketball Match• • • • •"Match?" I looked at the woman in surprise. Why is she challenging me suddenly for that? And, what match?"Basketball. I want your boyfriend and my boyfriend to have a competition right here and right now. Let's see who of our boyfriend will win." She proudly said while puffing up her chest.With that being said, she grabbed her boyfriend by the arm and kissed him in front of everyone, telling him things that are...well, things that are inappropriate. It's probably her way to cheer for him."You will do your best, right babe? Show them that you are the best of the best. That no one in this world can defeat you! Didn't you tell me before that you were better than your classmate? Who was it again? Was it Neil?" The man gulped several times while peeking nervously on my back.'Oh?' I raised my eyebrow at his actions suspiciously. Was the

And besides, I don't really have to worry because I chose automatic! All I have to do is sit and steer!"Get ready to lose, oldie!" I laughed at him naughtily.He sneered. "Right back at you."I gripped on the steering wheel tightly while the race begins its countdown. When the screen displayed the 'go' sign, I quickly steered the wheel but nothing happened.Huh? What's wrong?Neal has started his while mine didn't. Oh no! What should I do!? I frowned and poked Neal's side. He stopped and looked at me confusingly, "Is t

    Let's Play!• • • • •Crap."What's wrong?" Asked Neal when he noticed how restless I was, looking back at the taxi that Bia was in when it turned our way, following us.Oh shit. Did she notice me?"Kira?""A-ah, yes. I'm good.""You don't look like it.""Uhm...m-my tummy is grumbling already. I guess I'm hungry? Uh, can we go a little bit faster?" I bit my lower lip and tried to act as normal as possible. I am really bad at lying so it would be a problem if I keep opening my mouth.Let's take a deep breath and avoid questions for now.I was about to peek at Neal for being silent but sighed in relief when he went faster without asking questions. I gulped and relaxed when the taxi was falling behind.Ugh, that damned Bia! Today is a very special day and she's going to ruin it. Sigh, I just hope that she would give up and stop following us anymore.
