He should have just told me that he needs house help or something! I was so damn mad after I did the dishes. I was even sulking when I went back to my room. It’s not the fact that I had to do the chores. I hate it because he seems to have the last cards in everything that I do. And I hate it. I hate it when he’s always the one to have the final say. It’s not supposed to be like this. I should be annoying the hell out of him until he gets tired of my attitude. But what’s happening is the other way round. I’m hella annoyed! This shouldn’t be like this. I need to think of ways from now on. Because if this set-up goes on, then I think I would really end up being his slave. Not mentioning what kind of slave though. I look at the clock. The evening is still not at its peak. I stood up and went outside the room  wondering where his room was. I convinced myself not to be impudent. Even though

He did come back that night. I acted as if I didn’t do anything unusual this morning. Like as if I didn’t sneak into his things without this permission. Like he said, we went out for dinner.  I busied myself by watching the night city. Before, this was so far out of reach for me. I’m jailed inside our house and forbidden to go out. So looking at the view, I still can't help but to be amazed. ”What did you do in the unit?” I was a bit startled when he suddenly asked me. I gulped thinking that he knew what I did this morning. ”Did you get bored?” he added. I breathe in relief. I thought he’s talking about the little crime I committed. I smiled lightly and shook my head. I then remove my eye on him because I can’t bear to look him in the eye after what I did. I would never look at him the same way. I thought he’s just one of these rich businessmen but

Whatever that kiss may mean, it was nothing. I expected worse actually. Sure, he makes me a bit nervous every time he’s around but maybe that’s just because I’m intimidated and my reflexes as well because of past experiences. ”Are you going now?” I asked when he stood up after eating the breakfast that I prepared. He looked down on me and it seems like the amusement on his face will be forever embedded when he’s talking to me. ”Yes. I have an early meeting.” ”Uh, alright.” I pursed my lips. I stood as well and started to fix the plates. Deep inside, I am rejoicing. I’ve been waiting for him to leave. I busied myself in the kitchen and like usual, I felt his presence on my back, I didn’t react and just continued washing the plates. ”You don’t always have to wash the plates. I can make my house help do that.” My m

Whatever it is that he said. I tried not to dwell much on it. I don’t want to lose when I’m not even starting yet. ”How was your day?” I looked at him when he suddenly opened a topic in the middle of supper. I don’t know why he’s suddenly been friendly to me these past few days, but maybe also because I’m casual to him? I don’t know. I’ll just fake it till I make it. “Fine. How about you?”He didn’t answer me, he just had this slight smile on his lips. I shrugged and continued eating. ”I’ll be leaving for the countryside this weekend. There’s a business matter I need to attend to.” I listened to him. Though I didn’t know why he’s suddenly saying this to me I just nodded. ‘That’s fine then. No presence of you for days.’&rd

We stayed in this one villa along the Long Beach area. It’s one of the places near the beach. I was entranced by seeing the beach for the very first time. A beach that I only see on television is now here in front of me. ”You should rest first. We’ll meet my colleagues later.” he said, still salty. I pursed my lips to stop my little smirk. He reached for the knob of the room. ”Where are you going?” ”In my room, beside yours.” I was a little startled. We were both quiet waiting for something to say, but no words came out from the both of us. ”I’ll go now.” I nodded lightly. As soon as he left, I spaced out thinking about things. Right, I thought we’ll sleep in the same room. It’s not that I assumed but it’s because it’s what I’m used to. You don’t expect those people to get a separate room for th
