Opposites 2

There are also some people who were heedless enough to disobey the law so they were punished. No one really knows what the consequences are. Punished people would not say it to anyone. All I know is that you will suffer severe penalties if you don't follow.
I didn't notice that I was already mumbling to myself when Nana tapped my hand. With a raised brow, I turned to look at Nana who was sitting not so far away from me. "Huh? What is it, Nana?"
"Kira? Are you alright?" Nana asked me worriedly. Ate July was also staring at me and at the government notice that I was holding tightly in my hands. I know that she knows about the notice right from the start so she already knew what my problem is. Instead of answering my Nana, I stayed silent in my seat and sighed.
Ate July sat beside me and patted my back as she cheered me on, "Dearie, it's a big challenge for the both of you! Like Andy Warhol would say, 'The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.' So, just trust yourself! I know you can do it! And also, I know that you are very dedicated in reaching for your dreams but this, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don't worry, I and grandma will always be here if ever you need help." She smiled sweetly at me.
"And besides, my little brother is a nice and a very sweet person if you get to know him more. Just be yourself and it will work out. Trust me." She reassured me.
"Thank you Ate, that is a very nice thing to say. Don't worry, I'll try and give everything as best as I can."
I guess she is right. I guess they are all right. I just have to be the laid-back lady like I was and everything would be alright.
I stood up from my seat and was to get back to my room and sleep, placing the papers back to the folder and left it on the table. "July, iha. Weren't you going to say something to Kira?" Nana asked as Ate July widened her eyes.
"Ah, that's right! I forgot to tell you. It's about tomorrow." I only stared at her and waited for her to finish her sentence. She coughed and sat properly, grinning widely at me.
"We will be going somewhere the next day! Just the two of us. You know, girl stuff." She excitedly said.
"Ehh? I thought that our families would meet and get-to-know each other?" They told me that this is what would happen every first day of the three weeks.
"Nah. My father is very busy with something and li'l bro is off to some business trip and also, Lola here is too old to have long walks so, she wants the two of us to bond and have fun."
I looked at Nana and she just nods at me. I glanced back at Ate July and asked her, "Where will we go tomorrow?" Still feeling a bit nervous for tomorrow.
"It's a secret."

Going down the stairs, I wore my stripe knee-length sweater dress and Cuban heels. Tied my hair into a messy fishtail braid and applied some lipgloss as usual.
I went to the living room, a bit excited as I saw them there, sitting.
"You look gorgeous." Ate July said as she happily clapped her hands together.
"Thanks." I smiled shyly at her. To be honest, I'm not really used to wearing something like this when going out with someone else other than my Nana.
My Nana looked at me with a big smile on her face whereas Ate July grinned widely, looking lovely on her loose dress.
My gaze then stopped on a man who was sitting casually beside her. He is a tall man with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He has olive skin and a strong, healthy built.
I went closer to them as I looked at Ate July with a 'who is he' look on my face. She then tapped the hand of the man, telling him to introduce himself. The man stood up and bowed at me slightly.
"It is very nice to meet you, Kira Castelle. I am Truce Lovino, July's beloved husband." He smiled sweetly while looking at Ate July as she looked away in embarrassment, her whole face blushing.
"It is also nice to meet you, Kuya." I smiled at him. So it's him. The only man who could make her cheeks blush in crimson just by smiling. The man that Ate July would gladly love over and over again. Just wow, they're amazing to look at. I could clearly see in their eyes that they really love each other.
"You know what, the two of you are very lovely to look at," I spoke out my mind.
"Hear that, Love?" Kuya Truce smirked at Ate July whose face is now as red as a tomato. She stood up, rolling her eyes at Kuya, and ignored him.
"Grandma, it's time for us to go." Ate July said while giving Kuya Truce an irritated look. He ignored the look and poked her cheek.
"Of course, iha. Take care." Grandma said while laughing. Ate July hastily left the house while her husband followed her, whispering out some sweet words to her.
I, then, kissed grandma's cheek and bid goodbye. "Enjoy your day, Kira."
"Yes, nana." I waved my hand at her and followed the couple outside.

I leaned on the side window of the SUV car, glancing up at the clouds. It was tinted deep-blue as it hovers over the sun, covering it completely.
I glanced at the two lovers on the front, teasing each other. Guess they're on good terms now. That was quick. I stared at them for a while now when I remembered something.
"Ate. Didn't you tell me that it will only be the two of us? Will Kuya Truce come with us too?" I asked as I thought about the things that she told me yesterday.
• • • •
Who are you?• • • •"He'll go somewhere, dearie. He'll just drop us at our destination. And also, we'll do some girl stuff, remember?" She said between her giggles."I could become a girl and join you two. It'll be fun." He teased."Heck, no. You'll ruin the fun.""What a killjoy." I laughed at the both of them. They argue like dogs and cats and it's cute to look at.Kuya Truce went silent as Ate July widens her eyes at him. It didn't stop him from teasing though and shrugged. "I suppose that it'll be more fun picking out the best place to have a honeymoon.""Oh, shut up." Kuya and I laughed. Ate July is once again in a bad mood as she averted her gaze away from Kuya but it's evident that deep-inside, she's feeling the 'kilig' feeling.You know, the weird feeling where your whole body just bursts to flames and your stomach twisting to
BabysitterMy whole body froze in shock while my eyes were still glued on the man. It's dark and I can't clearly see his face especially when he's very tall. All I could see with all the darkness was his green emerald eyes. It was glowing beautifully in the shadows. Mysterious. Empty. And Dead.I was taken aback when he suddenly lowered his face, leveling mine. "Who. Are. You?" He asked again, giving emphasis to each word. His deep green orbs was bewitching while it was glaring at me, observing my every move.I stayed silent while staring at him, fascinated by the alluring beauty he possessed. I could even clearly see now that his face was only inches away from mine. He has a strong and a chiseled jawline. Flawlessly thick eyebrows and kissable lip
Babysitter 2I inhaled sharply. What should I do? Fuuuuckkk! Keep thinking Kira!???? ???????. I thought to myself. Relax and think.Think.Think..In the end, I couldn't think of words to say so I looked away, feeling my face continuously pouring off sweat--if that's even possible. I glanced up at him but he is still looking down on me with his unreadable expression."You should go. I don't need babysitters." He started walking past me. He was about to go up the stairs when I shouted at him. "Wait!" I held the tip of his V-neck T-shirt, stopping him from walking."What?" He said softly this time as he glanced over his shoulder.Oh wow. Now he's kind?Anyways.Should I tell him? About the government notice? That, I'm his partner? But...
ConfrontationI quickly looked at the right side of the bed and saw no one. I also scanned around and sighed in relief when I saw no signs of that man in the room.Was that real? T-the things that he did to me? Can he do such thing? But...Maybe that was all just a dream? A nightmare? He's not the kind of person to do such things, right? Besides, if it was really just a nightmare, why did it...disappear? Then, suddenly, it was replaced by a wonderful dream?This is the first time that it happened.Ever since I've been having nightmares, I would stay awake or be awaken because of it. Even in the middle of the night. But today, it's different.I don't want to conclude something that I'm not sure of so I'll just ask him.Where is he, anyway?I stood up and went inside the comfort room. I'll
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.
My Woman• • • •"That's why I'm asking you. Why don't you answer it? You are very observant. Try and guess."He stayed silent. His deep green eyes looked at me, making its way to my soul. It was hypnotizing. If I was just any normal girl out there, I would have given myself in. Surrendering myself to whatever He commands me to do.But I am different.I stayed silent and gave him an eye to eye contact. It was like a staring contest. And I'm gonna win this crap. I won't give up unless he would.He'll give in soon enough.
Request• • • •I saw him exiting the house earlier. Maybe he's just hiding? Then next thing that would happen is him giving me yet another heart attack!? Not really a heart attack but it was close!
Request 2• • • • •"How adorable," I exclaimed and smiled at him. He glared at me and continued what he was doing.What he did was actually very cute. It is also my first time seeing a man blush so hard even at little things which, is very rare.I didn't know that a man like Neal Valastro would have a precious side. Well, he is probably always like this around his mother. Back when she was still alive. He changed when she was gone, unlike his big sister who is still very much childish at the age of twenty-seven.I just noticed that he is wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt—probably his favorite tee—perfectly molding his broad shoulders and well-toned torso. Also giving shape to his 8 packs and well-trained pecs.My eyes slowly went to his face.I could not stop gazing at his g
