*Ring ring*
"Hmmm." I said softly and tried to reach for my cellphone while I closed my eyes. I was rolling all over my bed trying to look for my ringing phone while my eyes were closed.
I'm too lazy to reveal them because I want to sleep longer. "Ahhh! Where are you?" I said softly while trying to feel under my pillow, and under my comforter.
My phone kept on ringing, so I had no choice but to open my eyes and look for the phone with it.
When I opened my eyes, I looked for it on the side of my bed and under the pillow but it was not there. Until my eyes landed on the table in front of the bed.
Where my TV is. "How did you get there?" I mumbled and slowly stood up from my bed and tried to take it---.
"Ahhh!" I screamed loudly as my foot caught on my comforter, causing me to hit the floor with great force.
I writhed in the pain of my fall and the comforter wrapped around my body bounced. “You idiot Olivia!!!” I snorted to myself and slowly crawled to reach for my cellphone next to the TV.
I took it and immediately answered the call even though I didn't know who it was. Because I didn't bother to check who the caller was on my phone screen.
"Hello?" I answered with a frown.
"Hello, Olivia, it's good that you answered my call," my eyes widened, and I immediately looked at the screen of my phone.
Shit! Why didn't you look at Olivia!?
"Hello, M-mom" I regretted not looking at the caller. "How are you? Why is your voice like that? are you ok there? Are you feeling well?” this question is full of concern.
I closed my eyes because of his questions and rubbed my forehead gently. "I'm fine Mom, I'm just busy with the shop hehe, you know we have a lot of orders this coming month" I lied and tried to cheer up my voice.
"Is that so, it makes me proud. Your brother Arries wants to visit you there because he doesn't know the new address m---” I cut her out and spoke.
"Oh mom, I don't have time for you now until next month. I'm very busy because I'm really busy at the shop and another thing I can't face him, the schedule is very hectic and I almost eat at the restaurant because I'm so busy, then I rarely stay at the condo, next time you can" stand up and I immediately left my room while continuing to talk to Mom on the other line.
"Is that so, I'll just tell him that the next time he goes there, you'll just go there. Can you just give me your address so I can just tell him----” again I couldn't let Mom finish speaking and said.
"What? Ok, ok, I'm coming wait for me outside... Mom, I need to go now, I'll just call you later ok" I said in a hurry even though I didn't really have anyone to talk to inside my condo.
"Ah, ok, Be careful there Olivia, I miss you and... I love----" before she could finish it, I end up the call and weakly sit on the floor. Staring at my silent condo.
I also couldn't help but fake a laugh, because I was able to act like I was talking to someone even though the truth was that there was really no one else in my condo but me.
"Hectic schedule at the shop?!" I said sarcastically before pulling my hair up and laughing again.
"You're so fake Olivia." I scolded myself before bending down and hugging my knee.
I close my eyes and just stayed like that for a moment before I glance at my phone and look at the time.
9:00 a.m
I got up quickly in the bedroom when I saw that I was late for work. “Tangina Olivia!!!” I slapped my face and ran to my bathroom.
I quickly showered and dressed. It will happen to me again. I was moving fast and carelessly, I put some make-up on and tie my wet red hair up before I put on my short black hair wig.
I wear a wig and put on thick make-up so that other people don't recognize me. New York was once my mom's working place and it can't be denied that she knows a lot of people here, so I had to disguise myself so she wouldn't recognize me.
I’m hiding from my parents because I’ve done a very failure thing that they don’t have to know.
I put on my black shirt and paired it with white shorts then top it with a black leather coat and wear black boots. I look so different from the real me but I need to look different to hide the real me.
I quickly left the condo and locked it. I ran very fast, because the elevator didn't open.
I immediately hailed a taxi and went to the hotel. "Here," I said and handed the payment to the taxi driver, and quickly entered the hotel.
As soon as I opened the door to the stuff room, a loud cry immediately greeted me. "WHAT THE HECK POLA! YOU'RE LATE AGAIN!!!” Our manager yelled at me, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I just have a bad stomach this morning" I let out while walking to my locker.
"DIDN'T YOU JUST USE THAT EXCUSE YESTERDAY!!!" he shouted while looking at me.
I glanced at her and chuckled, doing a peace sign before I ran to the changing room.
“POOL!!!” he shouted outside so I just closed my eyes and changed my uniform.
I am a chamber maid here at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, here in New York. and this is my job.
"Clean, room 908 this instant" the Manager said after I left the changing room. I immediately took the cleaning cart and said, "Yes Sir, Yes Sir." even though this cleaning cart is heavy, I still put it in the elevator and go upstairs.
I went to room 908 and as soon as I opened it, I wanted to throw up because of the strong smell of alcohol inside. They said they had a birthday party here last night so it must be a lot of work.
I pushed the cart in before closing the door. I slumped my shoulders and looked around the room. “What did you use it for last night? Human or animal? Look at this mess.” I muttered dejectedly before starting to pick up my cleaning supplies.
"Work-work, Olivia" I tried cheering myself up but I guess I can't motivate myself either.
"Ewww" I whispered while trying to wipe the vomit from the bathroom floor. Vinegar spread here and it smelled like alcohol, I even wore a mask to avoid vomiting.
I picked up the beer cans and some plastic chips, as well as small confetti with the vacuum cleaner.
I also arranged some disgusting leftovers around the room. Even the random shot in the trashbin haven't been done yet.
I also went to the side of the bed and picked up the dirt under it, but I was stunned when I found something sticky under it.
When I slowly pulled it out I immediately threw it where I saw a condom with male semen. "EWWWW DISGUSTING!!! SHIT!! SHIT SHIT!!!” I ran to the bathroom to wash my hands well.
The person who used this room last night was very prophetic, Eww.
After I washed, I came out of the bathroom and turned to the TV. "Whore---- if you're being looked at oh!! AGHHHH!!!” I stumbled when I saw that condom on my TV.
So now I have to clean the TV with the semen dripping. I grudgingly cleaned it and threw that condom in the trash.
It also took me almost an hour to clean this room.
As soon as I left this room, my radio phone rang, and I received a call from the Manager. "Pola, room 310."
"Roger that," I replied and went upstairs to room 310.
When I went inside, it looked fine and not too messy but when I entered the CR. I almost felt nauseous because I saw poop in the toilet bowl.
“YOU ARE SO AWFUL!!!!!” I shouted inside the room and raised the sleeve of my uniform and put on a double mask.
"SHIT YOUR STINK IS PENETRATING--AHHHH!!!" You'd think I had an enemy screaming in here while cleaning these poops.
\I was trying to scrub the dirt off the side of the bowl when I suddenly splashed water on my cleaning apron.
“AHHHHHHH!!!!” I shouted.
***
"DON'T BE LATE TOMORROW POLA, OR ELSE I'LL JUST FIND A NEW CHAMBER MAID!!" The manager said after I changed my clothes.
My whole day ended with bad luck, because the rooms I cleaned were very disgusting.
"Yes, yes, yes...I'll keep that in mind" I uttered before I stepped out of the hotel and headed straight to my next work.
I just walked because it wasn't that far from the hotel. While walking, I light up a cigarette and smoke while walking. I do this after stressful work. Just to calm down a little before jumping into another stress.
The city lights here in New York are so bright and alive. It's so nice to live here in New York if you're not where I'm standing.
I should be living my life to the fullest here in New York but look what I'm doing right now. Cleaning someone's poop, semen, and others more.
What a shame Olivia. I smile bitterly before I enter this small shop that I've been working for during the evening.
"Good evening, Mademoiselle" I greeted the owner of this small coffee shop, Madam Tallia Armsworth. I work here as a waitress and sometimes a mascot, because why not. As long as I can earn money, I go.
“Pola, we need a mascot tonight. Give flyers outside are you ok with that?” she asks as I enter the staff room.
I glance at her smile, "Sure madam." I said and immediately got dressed and put on the Coffee Icon mascot of this shop.
Even though it was hard to move, and it was hot I took it and did my job. "Ma'am/Sir, try out the shop we have free promos inside," I said while handing out flyers that people just threw away.
"Ma'am try our sho---" I didn't finish what I was going to say when she ignored me and bumped into me, causing me to be out of balance and sit on the side of the road.
The mascot costume is a bit heavy, so even if it collides with me a little bit, I fall down immediately. "Ouch" I whispered as I felt that ache on my butt.
"Here, let me help you" my whole body went cold when I recognized that voice.
I slowly lifted up my face and saw my brother standing in front of me. He offered me his hand and helped me to stand up.
I couldn't speak while he stood me up, my whole body felt stiff, and it was like I saw a ghost. "There you go," he said and smiled after he stood in front of me and got some of my flyers.
Give some to his friends and said, “Be careful mascot man” he gently said before he starts walking together with his schoolmates.
I just stood there dumbfounded until they disappeared from my sight. My tears started to fall but I quickly stopped them and forced myself to continue my work.
But my heart is still beating. I miss him so much but I can't show them my condition like this.
It's not possible, I continue working until 10 pm. After I got dressed, I hurriedly said goodbye to Madam Tallia. "Madam, have a goodnight bye" I ran out of the coffee shop and headed to a place that was very important to me.
"Ma'am please would you consider my t-shirt designs, please" I begged as I kept knocking on the glass door of her shop. "No, Pola, I already told you that we are not accepting any designs anymore, and the shop is about to close. Go home" said Ma'am Corrin.
I have been passing some of my illustrations for T-shirt design to her to be sold in her shop but I have been rejected several times.
"Ma'am, please!"
“No!” she said and closed the blinds of her shop, turned off the lights, and left.
I let out a deep breath and started walking back home. It's night, and it's already late but New York Street is still alive. So don't be afraid to walk alone.
I walked home to my condo unit and I reached one in the early morning, it's a shame because the fare money is so expensive."HAYYYY...!" I uttered as I lay down on my bed and looked at the ceiling.
I feel so tired and weak today, but I need to sleep and work again tomorrow.
Before I sleep, I tried calling my boyfriend.
But…
"Hi, this is Anton Beckham, I may be busy at this moment try calling later or leave a massage, thank you..." I threw my phone on the pillow without being able to call Anton, before closing my eyes and taking a deep breath.
"Anton, where are you?"
Hector’s POV“Let’s all welcome the grand entrance of our lovely bride,” it was a breathtaking moment, seeing them opening the door of this church.And My Olivia showed up under the light from the sun. I shed tears as I watched her take her steps toward the aisle. At first, I actually thought that I wouldn’t like a woman like her. I met her in her worst situation, running in the middle of the street trying to chase after someone with those messy black short hair, a black leather jacket, and a dress underneath. Sweat is all over her face and her eyeliner smudge, lips are darker than blood red. She was not the typical girl that any guy would be whipped for, at first sight but underneath that messy look, I know I saw her beautiful eyes that marked something inside of me. That time, it was a bad day for me, so I thought she was trying to get herself into trouble. I thought she was going to commit suicide, so, I drag her to the nearest police station that I know. Olivia was so messy th

Olivia’s POV “ Olivia, do you want syrup on your pancakes child?” I looked at Mom as she asked me from the kitchen while she was busy cooking Japanese pancakes for me.“I want blueberry syrup,” I smiled as she slammed me from the kitchen counter. She urged her beautiful smile and nodded. “ Your baby might have a sweet tooth, pure sweets are required of me eh,” I stand sitting here in the living room and move to the kitchen counter.I watched Mom put the syrup on her fluffy pancakes, “ I think mom too, haha” I chuckled and waisted for my food.“Oh, this is your cravings,” Mom mixed it in front of me with strawberry shakes and white kisses chocolates.

Hector’s POV“Sir, aren’t you going home tonight?” I was focused on reading the cases in my table when Dave came into my office and asked. I did a quick glance at him and nodded as an answer, “Damn man, you’ve been working for straight two weeks, I didn’t see you leave your chair for a week and half. Are you trying to kills yourself?” he asked. I smirked at him, “There’s no point in going home anymore,” I whispered. “What do you mean man? Look at you, you’ve lost weight already, you’re not fucking eating well. I never saw you grow a beard before but now look at yourself. You look like a working mess. You didn’t even sleep fuck man.

“Olivia woke up,” I opened my eyes and my heart instantly pounded so fast when our eyes met.“H-Hector,” I'm weak and slowly sit in the hospital bed, “Y-you're here,” I reach for his face, so, he seated beside me here in the bed with tears all over his face.“You're here,” I couldn't believe he was hugged and he immediately embraced, my body feels a bit numb but I don't care, I want to touch him.The more she cried as I hugged her and rubbed her face on my shoulder. “W-why are you c-crying?” I ask.She was more attached to me and I seemed to feel the pain she was feeling. “H-Hector,” I tried to present him to me.

He looked me straight into my eyes and held my hand on his cheek.He closed his eyes, shook his head down and, “I'm s-so sorry,” he whispered.“Shh, why are you saying that?” I ask him, lift his face up and wipe his tears.“ I'm sorry,” pain is very visible on his face, tha
Naivy’s POV“Are you sure about this? We're just gonna wait for her? What if she changes her mind and run away?” Ellouise worried about her not walking here in our hotel room.We stay here in New York for a week, to wait for Olivia. Tonight we were flying back to the Philippines and we had only two hours before our flight, but until now Olivia has not been.I know for myself that Ellouise has a place, but I wanna trust Olivia. I was going to wait for him and I knew he would come. I seated on the couch before I glance on the door. “She will come Bunny, don't worry,” I whisper.I stayed looking at the door, coming on Olivia it was time to go home and rest. I couldn't help but bite my finger because every running of time it was worth the twitter in my heart that Olivia might not have knocked on this door.“Oh my gosh, Olivia where are you?” Ellouise kept mumbling as she was finally seated on the couch beside mine.I didn't take my eyes off the door, asking for Olivia to knock and come an
