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

“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

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

“Good night, Stephen,” I muttered and kissed him again. I glanced at Nash for a second and saw his eyes closed, it looked like he was sleeping already. He fell asleep fast.“Good night, Alyana,” Stephen mumbled with a beam and kissed my forehead. “Sis Alyana, what are you doing?” I turned to Nash who was now looking at both Stephen and me.“N-Nothing, we’re just talki—““I saw you kissed Mr. Driver.”So, he saw it. Hays, I shouldn’t have kissed Stephen or maybe, I should have made sure that Nash was really asleep.“Do you love my Sis Alyana, Mr. Driver?” he asked, reason for Stephen, who’s now blinking constantly, to turn his gaze on him.“Because if not, I’ll just be the one who’ll love her—““I like her.” I suddenly held my bosom because of what Stephen had just said. Chill, Alyana, you already heard that before and Stephen already told you that so why is your heart pounding madly, huh?”“Like? You only like her? My question here is do you love Ate Alyana...” I’d just get hurt if

Nanny Daley tapped my shoulder and murmured. "Yes... I always miss her."I miss them both.I can't help but stare at Nanny, who is obviously in grief. "I missed my oldest son, who died before me." Losing a kid or a parents causes the same pain... Because they are your companion, it hurts so much when you talk to loved ones and they disappear; you feel empty and as like something is missing.I averted my sight since I couldn't understand Stephen's attention as we completed cooking and set the meal on the table.Nanny said simply. "Thank you for the food, Nanny Daley." He started to eat.I turned to Stephen, who was standing directly next to me, and said, "Alyana."I said, sitting up straight, "Hmm."He murmured, "Feed me," and I growled."You have hands remember--""This is your fault because my hand still hurts from getting stuck in the door?" He put his hand there was that my fault? In the event that I had known his hand was there, I would not have closed it."It's not like both of
