Confrontation
I 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 just find him after doing my morning routine.
• • • •
I went down the stairs. Now that the room is full of light, you can clearly see the beauty of the mansion.
The walls were painted dirty white. It was clean and soft as if it was just newly painted. High ceiling and large windows covered by thin, light-blue curtains. The area was very spacious. No dust particles in every corner your eyes can see. It is really very well taken care of.
Even on the living room. It's really pleasing to look at. The area was an open space. Just by standing on the living room, your eyes can scan around the kitchen and the dining room. No walls were between it.
I continued to roam around the space, admiring each furnitures, designs and paintings neatly placed and designed everywhere. Freshly picked flowers of any sort put into a vase and was placed on the tables.
"Lovely." I went near the table where the flowers were placed and smelled it. They smelled really fragrant and are even neatly arranged.
I looked around me but I couldn't see him. Maybe he went somewhere? But where, exactly? Ugh. I'll just eat my lunch first while waiting for him.
I was about to go to the kitchen when my eyes caught a sight of a picture frame. I took it and stared at it. It's them. Him and his family.
'Beautiful' I thought. Even if they're still young, I could clearly see where Neal and Ate July inherited their gorgeous features. Ate got her blue eyes from her father while Neal got his from his mother's.
Just by looking at them, you could certainly see how happy they are. Especially Neal. There's a very big difference between the old and the new him.
In the picture, his face was radiant. His eyes glowing bright and his smiles very wide. He's so handsome but the present him was different.
Even if I just met and saw him this evening, I could still see how stoic his expression was. How he stared at me was very deadly and cold and how he spoke was unwelcoming.
He is still good-looking but he's more attractive when he smiles. I guess he's become like this because of the death of his mother. He has changed a lot, I could tell.
Whatever happened to his mother had made a very huge impact on him for him to be this way.
𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘭. Oh, right. I haven't eaten yet since this morning because I woke up late. I returned the picture to its place when I captured a very familiar scent nearby.
Mint and Vanilla.
I smelled it on the sheets earlier. Is this...his smell?
If that's so, he's here?
I turned around and saw no one. Oh, I am now imagining things . "Hmm."
"Looking for someone?" I screamed from where I was standing as I held my chest tightly. I looked at him standing behind me, his arms crossed while he leaned on the table where I got the picture frame just a second ago.
Why didn't I saw him there just standing a while ago? And more importantly,
"Are you trying to kill me!?" Damn him! I thought I was going to die of a heart attack!
"I thought you noticed me."
"I was deep in thought. You can't blame me."
"You're just hungry." He stated calmly and walked towards the kitchen, ignoring how shock I was. Seriously?
I stared at his back while he was preparing food. I really admire how broad his shoulders and how toned his muscular body is under his fit, sleeveless T-shirt. He has a light golden brown messy hair that compliments his very beautiful slightly tanned skin. He also has long, slender legs.
In short, he is perfect.
He was probably out in the open when the sky was raining of perfection while the other men were hiding.
Josh is also handsome but not as close as him! I bet, he had a lot of hook-ups with girls because of his gorgeousness.
He faced me and stared at me with his usual expression. He didn't mutter a single word and sat down silently. His cold stare was still on me while I looked on the table and saw two plates. One for him and one... for me?
My stomach growled again so I went near him and sat across. He started eating and so I did the same.
Spaghetti and meatballs, roasted sweet potatoes and stir-fried shrimp were on the table. I guess he's not a rice-eater. Probably one of the reasons why he's healthy and fit.
The two of us were eating silently. Only the chinking sound of the utensils were heard when hitting each other.
I tried glancing up at him but he was too focused on eating. He's very handsome and to be honest, I couldn't take my eyes off of him even if I wanted to.
He noticed me eyeballing him so he looked at me. I quickly looked away, pretending that I wasn't staring at him but I know too well that what I did was just too obvious.
"I know now."
I looked at him surprisingly. "What do you mean?"
"It's quite obvious, you see."
"What's obvious?" I asked quickly at him. My heart was beating out of my ribcage as my palms became sweaty, waiting for his answer.
"That you're not my babysitter."
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
Cupcakes• • • • •Making someone happy with just a simple effort, I would totally do it over and over again if that is the case.I looked on the wall clock that was in the living room and it's already 3 in the afternoon. My cookies are now in the oven, baking.It didn't take long for these yummy sweets to bake so I got them out of the oven and placed them on a clean white plate.I sniffed the cookies and it smelled super delicious! Well, only for me though. I'm not pretty confident about this. It has been so long since I've baked and I don't know if it looks good to others. In my eyes, it looks wonderful and probably ten times better than my cookies from before. I really think that I have improved so much and I'm very proud of it!I may be a little nervous but cheering myself up into hoping tha
Trouble• • • • •He would certainly get mad at me for gossiping about him behind his back. What if he will catch me doing something so bad? And then the worst case scenario is that he will forever hate me and ignore me.And that would give me a hard time.I'm now in the living room and the same as always, I couldn't see him. Where is he? Damn that guy. I don't want that misfortune to happen again. It was very embarrassing on my part and he didn't even say a word when it happened. Maybe he was even enjoying it.Damn, I can't take it out of my mind now. The scene...it is still as clear as day. My hands still remembered how warm and nice those abs felt. Gosh, I have sinned but I don't feel sorry about it.How naughty of me!I was about to walk
Trouble 2• • • • •"Let me go!" I screamed at him. He was just standing in front of me, his arms crossed, and his expression blank. It's like he doesn't hear anything! How merciless!I want to escape but I couldn't move.All I can do is just watch him observing me carefully while I sit helplessly on the sofa. My hands and feet are tied with a goddamn rope. It is tight but it didn't hurt me. He was rather gentle when he tied me with it. Ugh, damn, Kira! You shouldn't get distracted by such things.My eyes flicked at him alertly, still quite surprised about what had happened earlier.~ ~ ~ ~ ~Right after he took a hold of me, I tried to twist his arms that were holding me but it was very impossible. His grip on me was firm enough that he just spin me around in one go. His grasp on me was gentle though but still, seeing him with that much strength...it's crazy
Apology Not Accepted• • • • •I still haven't apologized to him when I lied to him about being a babysitter, wore his clothes without HIS permission, baked the wrong sweets, kicked his huge crotch,...and even making him a villain in my nightmares?Gosh, that's so evil of you, Kira!Growl. I forgot that I was very hungry since a while ago but still, I don't want to go out of the room because maybe he was just waiting outside for me and I don't want to risk it. I'll just imagine food while sitting on the floor.He'll probably see me dead before he could even get the phone first."Ugh." My side was slumping on the door, my eyelids heavy and my stomach empty. Oh wow, now it's rhyming. Am I really like this when I'm hungry?I jumped on my seat when I heard footsteps coming. He stopped right in front of my door a
