Chapter 12
"Took you long to get some drinks," Brieanna said, eyes narrowed at William. Being all alone and waiting in a crowded place isn't her favorite at all.
"Sorry, I was caught on something," he replied, sitting beside her and handing her the water bottle. "You look like you were enjoying the lanterns though."
"Yeah, they do look nice. They seem to light up everything in this night market."
"I bet it makes your heart melt."
Does it? Well it kind of, she thought. She was used to dark places. The ones that she can think clearly while the soft breeze touches her face or the ones that makes her lonely is her favorite. Something like this feels new to her since it has been a while.

It was time to be on her own. Brieanna took a deep breath and blew it out. Yes, she met everyone already and they all seemed nice but it's a job. It all starts nice.As she enters the kitchen again she keeps a nervous smile, nibbling her lower lip as she makes her way to the big sink. She was not alone, she will be closely working with a married woman in her 30s or so, named Veron."It's okay to get all shaky and slow at first," Veron tells her. "I used to think I'll break every plate here. I ended up my first shift with five expensive plates broken."That does not help her at all. If she breaks a costly plate, that is probably going to cost her five days of working. She should be extra careful.And so Veron taught her everything she needed to know. She was also told not to throw every left overs. Veron told her to segregate it, from the foods that should go directly to waste and the meats and rice they can feed stray animals."Wow, the

Dinner was quiet and after it William waited for Brieanna to finish washing the dishes. He already prepared a contract and the rules they needed to abide in his house. When she finally finished, she gaze down the papers as she sits in front of him. "What are these for?" she asked him. "I forgot to give you the work contract and this on my right are the few rules I would like you to follow. Also if there are things you want me to follow you should list it so we can talk about it." Brieanna looked at the contract first, reading it as if she understands. Then she took a glimpse at William and to the pen he prepared. She reached for it and signed the contract. "Didn't take you the exact time to read it," he uttered. "Well if I did, I would still not understand all of it," she told him, putting the the contract and taking the rules. The first rule was not to enter the room that is not yours and never enter nor open t

Finally, Brieanna's shift has come to its end. She has done a terrible work today and she earn herself a cut from the knife earlier too. As she walks out of the resort, she decided not to go home early. There was nothing to do there, she will just get bored laying and gazing at her ceiling. So, she starting wandering around the town. The town is sure a livelier place at night than at morning. Vendors were busy putting up their stalls at the moment, the street foods were already set up and tourists like she once was were busy taking pictures everywhere. Her stuffs crossed her mind. Should she go dive in the water and retrieve her stuffs? She's sure there were no damage to them since she sealed it with plastic. Problem is, she will probably run out of air before getting to the bottom. Brieanna deeply sighed. If only that cold William didn't save her she wouldn't be in this town, thinking about how to live. "Ano... excuse me." When sh

Brieanna stared at William's hand. Has anyone ever reached their hands for her to take, like this stranger in front of her? Has anyone ever waited for her to catch up to them? She slowly raised her head and saw how desperate he was. "Why are you so eager to save me?" "Because you haven't seen the best in life yet, Brie. You've only seen the dark side of it. You can't tell the devils nor the angels that you've seen everything down here when you're just exploring one side," he replied. "Please, Brie. Let's go home." They stayed staring at each other as if the cold didn't bother them both. She sees it. The way her eyes are when she looks at the mirror. His ocean blue eyes were the same as her hazel ones. Dull. Finally, she turned her body around and got off the parapet. She placed her hand on his and he pulled her into a hug that made her eyes wide. "Damn you, Brie! Don't make me hold my breath like that again!" He was breathing heavily, ti

Richard and Willaim were glaring at each other for the longest time. Brieanna feeling uneasy with their atmosphere. She should say something! "Uhm..." "I didn't mean to intrude, bro. I thought she was single," Richard said. "I am--" "She is but she isn't here to date anyone." Okay, they were not allowing her to speak and William is just repeating what she said to him when she was new here. Dang, she's really that cold to him. Richard glances at her and she kept a thin smile which made his mouth turned up. She gaze at William and she instantly look down. His face was darn scary she swore she's going to die later. "Well, I have to get going. Nice meeting you uhm--" "William," he coolly said. Richard nods and turned to her, displaying a lopsided smile. "I'll see you around, Brieanna." If she could just pull Richard and let him stay talking to William while she makes an escape then

Today, Brieanna celebrates her day off. Like what William and her talked about, surfing is part of today's agenda. She didn't want people to laugh at her so they decided not to practice at the public beach and just do it outside their house. An hour since they started catching waves and Brieanna had caught none at all. William kept going on with her duck diving and to paddle and paddle which she was not prepared even though they warmed up. The duck diving was really dreadful for her. Her board just doesn't go down no matter how much she tries. "I need a break!" she yells, panting. When she got to the shore, she just went and lay on the sand. She's pretty bad at it. The waves aren't even that big but her feet keeps getting swept off and she ends up falling before she could even stand. "It's your first day. You can get better," William said, sitting right next to her. "You totally flop though," he added, laughing softly which made her throw a dirt

Brieanna just closed the door behind her. William and her just finished talking about him leaving for work. Two days and three nights and he leaves tomorrow. That means she's going to be alone! What if some bad guys decided to play a prank? At dinner, she was all quiet again, thinking about being alone in a place like this house with no neighbors. She might die before even a rescue comes her way. "Are you upset because I'm leaving so suddenly?" She stopped slicing her meat and looked at William. "Nope. I'm just worried that people might play a prank on me while you're away." "Hmm... you can come with me if you--" "Nope! I am not fond of parties and busy people's businesses. Plus I have work. I am aiming a promotion to be a waitress." William then laughed at her determination but even so he keeps a concern face. "Also, I think I made friends with a lady earlier. Her name is Evie and she j

The next day Brieanna was running late for work. At the entrance like always, she meets Richard and she waves at him while he says hi to her. At the kitchen, her shoulders were really sore, she keep grunting every now and then. If she didn't need money she would have taken the day off. "You okay, honey?" Veron asked her, noticing how she keeps massaging her an arm after another. "Yes, I uhm... I was a bit hard on myself practicing how to surf. I paddled too much," she replied, flashing Veron a smile. "I have a lot to learn." "Take it easy. Just have fun with it." Brieanna nodded. She will take it easy from now on. Just let things fall on their places while she do the things she loves. Like learning how to surf, needing to catch every wave and not just wait for the perfect one. Every wave is perfect, sometimes it is just not for you to ride it. William was bored in his dad's office. He finished
