"Oh, sorry." He said, and I knew he meant it!He laugh. "Perhaps you already have heart disease; you didn't run, did you? When did my heart begin to beat faster?""When you held my hand...?" I inquired and said, covering my mouth because of what I just said. "I-I mean, what's the deal with your heart beating so fast?" I nodded slowly, biting my lower lip since I didn't know what to say or do next."Y-You make my heart beat fast, too; every time I look at you, my heart seems to go crazy." He said, and I was devastated. Was he serious or was he making a joke? I don't know if he's making fun of me or what!"I guess, I like... you Alyana." He confessed.What?? What am I going to say? Is he for real? He likes me? Why and how?? Is it true that I like him as well? Huh?! I shook my head, unsure if I liked him or not. I'm kinda confused right now.It's too fast, It feel likes I just meet him yesterday...(Flashback)I’m wearing a skirt now, then just long sleeves. This is how I wear always
All the customers here are men, most of them are already old. Women are dancing, the other women are sitting on the guy’s lap then hugging the man and I even saw someone kissing in here. I just look away and pretend that I didn’t see that. All women here are wearing sexy clothes. I can see their cleavage.It’s my first time to be in a place like this. I guess, only me is not wearing this kind of clothes.Mom said that I’ll work here from now on, of course, I am just a waitress. I am thankful because Mom didn’t think of me dancing on that small stage, working like them.“Hey, Alyana!"“Ma’am?”“What the-- why are you still wearing that clothes?! Nevermind! By the way, give this order to that man.” She pointed at the man who’s wearing a business suit. I guess he’s rich, just by looking at him.“Faster!”I walk towards that old man nervously, I stop where he is and then placed his order on the table.“Hey, baby girl, you look different from them but still you look beautiful and sexy.?” I
I opened my eyes; I wrinkled them... I frowned as if it wasn’t my room.I felt like something heavy on my chest. I gently touch it and was about to remove it... “ Wait, is this my hand?” I looked at it carefully.“What...” I slowly look around.I was surprised at the man next to me now. My eyes widened, even more, when I saw we were both naked.“Ahhhhhhhh!!!” I took the blanket that was just on my leg. I covered my whole body.I’m about to stand up, but I felt pain between my thighs. What’s happening...“Is this how you wake people up? My ears hurt because of your scream! I think you just break my eardrums.” He looks at me badly, it’s like he’s going to eat me alive.I gulp twice when I stared at his body. He is handsome. I’ve seen no one like him, with a face so perfect, so symmetrical, it cannot be real. His brown eyes suit him. His perfect cheekbones led down to a full mouth.“Are you done staring at me? I guess you’re enjoying staring at my handsome body, huh?”And I realized I wa
I was startled awake by a voice calling my name, "Alyana." When I woke up, Stephen was holding a tray.Have some breakfast here, he murmured, setting it down on the bed.I ask out loud since I'm at a loss for words, "Are you cooking?""Is it not obvious?"I jokingly remarked, "I'm just wondering, is it poisonous?"I asked, sheepishly, "Do you fear I'm trying to poison you."I apologized and bent before him, saying, "It's a joke, I was just kidding."He sniffed as I turned to face him. "If you're sorry..." He said.Does he want me to kiss him? Because of how he now acts and the fact that there are times when Stephen is incredibly kind to me, I couldn't help but smile inwardly. My cheeks were already hot when he told me he wanted me, but I remembered it right away.I carefully leaned in to kiss him and I was about to do so when he spoke up. "Could you please explain what you're doing?""O-Oh, I thought you're asking for a kiss? I'm so s-sorry, I misread you. I misunderstood you a-again.
“What’s your problem, Stephen? Is it bad if he kissed me on the cheek?” she questioned. Of course, it is! I don’t like this boy so he can’t kiss you! He’s not even handsome! Tsk, I am way even better than him!“I am the only one who can kiss her, clear?” He then nodded his head. “Glad to know you know how to understan—““Okay, it’s not clear to me, bleee!” He ran away from me so I chased him but I suddenly fell when I stepped on something slippery.I ended up hearing that dwarf laugh at me. “Who the heck put a banana peel on this floor!” I vexatiously stood up.“Nash, were you the one who did that? I told you, right, that any trash or banana peels should be put in the trash?”“Sorry, Sis Alyana. Sis, I want to go to the playground.”“Playground? I’m sorry, Nash, your mom’s not here so you can’t—“ She suddenly fell silent when her phone vibrated. Wait, someone texted her? Who is it? I didn’t text her today.I quickly draw near her, wanting to see what it was but she just immediately
“It still hurts. We should just throw her into a river.” They both laughed, they really crazy sometimes. I just laugh too but then suddenly John spoke, and that made my expression serious.“Hey, bro! Do you have a picture of Alyana?"“I... don’t have any.” At the same time, I averted my eyes. There was really nothing! Why would I have a picture of that woman on my phone?! Is she special or important to me? Of course, she will never be! She’s too common and... Damn! Nevermind.“I think it’s your first time stuttering, Mr. Wilson. Hey, nanny Daley is here!” John pointed at my side and I turned around. I scratch my shoulder. “Damn, there’s no one there, John!” I said, looking around at them at the same time. My eyes widened when I saw that they were already holding my phone.“Just lend me this finger for a second. I need your fingerprint.” I couldn’t stop him because he immediately pulled my index finger.“Oh, what the! There she is...woah, not that bad.” I looked at him badly. I wa
We immediately went back after we played. “Oh, did his mom send you a text message already?” I asked as I sat next to her.“Not yet—“ Her phone suddenly vibrated, the reason for her to quickly check it.“What did she say?” She didn’t utter a word, she was just biting her lower lip so I grabbed her phone from her hand.From Madam Nessy: Alyana, I’m sorry but it looks like I’ll be home tomorrow. Please take good care of Nash. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you pasalubong once I get back. And I know you know that I trust you in everything more than anyone. And also, don’t tell Nash about this matter. If ever he asks you, please, just try to lie. “So, what now? You’ll accompany that dwarf tonight? Damn, don’t tell me you’re going to sleep here, Alyana?!”“Hmm, looks like it. It was Madam Nessy who told me to watch over Nash.”“No way! I won’t ever let you sleep with other boys!”“Stephen, what are you thinking? Nash is just a kid. A-Are you jealous?” I fell silent because of her question.Jealo
“That’s just nothing, Nash. Are you sleepy?”“Ate Alyana, let’s watch a Disney movie.”“Disney movie?” He nodded. I bit my nail, I do not know enough about Disney movies.“Pfft... what are you, a girl? Disney, for real? What kind of Disney is Cinderella?” asked Stephen, laughing.“Yeah, Cinderella! Why do you care?” he seriously questioned. Hayst, there they go again.“There’s nothing like that here—“ “There is when if you have a laptop. You’re rich, aren’t you, Mr. Driver?”“Wait!” Stephen stood up, went to his room, and when he came back there, he was already carrying a laptop.He sat next to us, we had Nash in the middle. Stephen searched on YouTube and found what Nash called Cinderella.“Sis Alyana, I want to be the prince and find someone like Cinderella.”“Why do you want someone like Cinderella?” I asked, wondering.“I feel sorry for her because her stepmom and her stepsisters were so cruel to her. I want someone like her because she is kind, and generous, even though the ones
