Annoying Gesture

"Did you grasp the lesson?"When Howard asked the question, all of the kids nodded. He explained the lesson to the children for more than thirty minutes. It was even more enjoyable than presenting business projects and proposals when he was still employed. He seemed to enjoy what he was doing."I hope you'll be our teacher forever."When the boy in the background said something, his ears clapped. He smiled because he had never heard a compliment like this before when presenting in front of big bosses in various companies. He's finally demonstrated that a compliment from a child is more genuine. When they praise someone, they are not lying, and they are more grateful."Sure," he replied.He saw Zannie frowning so he approached her."What can you say about my teaching skills?" he whispered. Zannie just averted her eyes and left again. Howard suddenly fell silent. At this time, why is Zannie acting like that?"My advice is, you have to be good at speaking so that your crush Jacob will no

Thrills And Confusion

Zannie walked slowly into the living room. Howard offered her a piggyback ride because she could no longer when she stumbled because of her shoelace earlier. But on the other hand, she is still annoyed with Howard for saying that she's not pretty enough to show a stern attitude, and even said that she won't ruin the reputation that is best kept just for him. That had an impact and it was like a broken plaque repeated in her mind. The wind blew her away and she looked in the mirror. She slapped both cheeks for thinking such things. She couldn’t fathom the impact of Howard's presence and his sudden mood change. It turns out that the scent of him also lingered on her clothes because he had been on a piggyback ride before. ‘This is strange for me. Why am I feeling something that makes me thrilled?’Why so? Does she feel the thrill that she should just have only for Jacob? That thought made her lose concentration. Damn, that man is invading her whole system. Until now, she admitted she qu

Unpredictable

Zannie and her fellow volunteers overcame the busyness of the soldiers in the training camp. Her eyes immediately searched for Jacob and her superior to turnover first aid kits and food supplies that the soldiers would need at any time. There is no alarming scenario yet. She also prayed that the opponents would not threaten again and destroy the town."Is there no one to assist us here? Where is the head of operations?"Zannie's thoughts vanished like a bubble because of Howard's question. She noticed that everything seems new to Howard based on his gaze while wandering around. Zannie can't get if Howard is just clueless or acting ignorant."You didn't see anyone to meet us, so obviously, there's nothing." Here she is with her demeanor. It looks like the petty quarrel is starting again.He couldn't say Zannie could be allergic to handsome guys because when it comes to Jacob, she looks like a gentle kitten and she only gives that man her smile, but when it comes to him, Zannie's mood q

Awkward Situation

"Come on guys! Let's have dinner together. It's such a tiring day. Let's call it a wrap."Quickly, Howard approached Lucille's place to have dinner. Earlier his stomach was churning due to hunger. Normally, he can't allow himself to feel hungry even if he's working in his office. The few boxes of rice he carried to the soldiers' camp were really exhausting to him. Honestly, he was pressured as Zannie was consistently nagging him. Clueless, he glanced at the girl and guided himself closer to her."Do you have a problem?" he asked in a whisper."Courage, you'll just eat and you won't even help even if I told you to." Annoyance registers on her beautiful face. Howard also heard a hissing sound from her.Their eyes met once again. She dared not to look at Howard's attractive eyes but it seemed like someone on her inner side was begging her to look at Howard for a long time—even about five more seconds. All she knew was that she had been grabbing rice from the big pot before as she was bu

It's Raining

It seems that Zannie will not be put to sleep by the loud giggles of her peers because of their conversation outside the barracks. She knew right away that the female volunteers were just happy because Howard was there. She covered her ears with a pillow but the voices of the people outside could still be heard.“They're so shallow for relying their mood on a handsome man that they're talking to,” she bemoaned and switched her position while still laying down on the bed.A few minutes later, she overheard another word from her colleague outside. “We really can't imagine a handsome man like you, going to this place and volunteering. Tell me more about you.”She hissed upon hearing that.Alodia said that to Howad, one of the younger volunteers who always had a crush on handsome rescuers and soldiers in Trias. Then, she seemed to have an urge to listen to their conversation. After all, she couldn't sleep because of their noises. She guided herself to the wall to better hear the conversa

Confused

“Are you sure that you're going to wait over there until the rain stops? You might catch a cold,” Lucille said, loud enough for Howard to hear on the other side of the place.“Yes, I'm sure,” Howard responded.“Okay, after this, we're heading to our corresponding barracks. How about you? Do you have a place to sleep?” Joel asked.Howard responded with a quick nod. Three minutes had passed, and the rain had already stopped. Howard decided to go to Zannie's barracks as he was fully aware that she was not asleep.“Hey, it's me,” Howard softly said while he was standing in the front door area.Zannie scratched her head as she heard that annoying voice. She had nothing to do but stand up and open the mini door for him.Her tone was full of annoyance. "Why are you here? Why can't you just stay with other acquaintances?"“Well, I saw you peeking through your window earlier. I know you weren't asleep yet. And I know that you are going to welcome me here,” Howard confidently replied, but he lo

His Other Side

They also spent an hour going to the said camp. They found the medical team there busy. Howie, on the other hand, unloaded food supplies and first aid kits needed by the soldiers. "Is that complete, Sir?"Zannie couldn't help but hear the female nurse's voice that seemed immediately attracted to Howard. She’s a woman too, and for Zannie, she knows if a woman like her wants to convey something, especially when a fellow woman likes her like someone.‘You are obvious too. How could you be able to flirt here while doing your job?’She could not understand why she was affected by such a scenario. She remembers being secretly territorial to Jacob. But that was before. She felt that every person who came after Howard should be investigated for no reason.Zannie examined the location of the young man. Unwillingly, she observed Howard's interaction with the female nurse, which seemed to have an effect on her. To be fair, that nurse was stunning and looked sexy even though she was dressed in a

The Unexpected Hero

Howard and Zannie walked quietly to their barracks. Zannie's secret smile still hasn't disappeared and she has no intention of speaking, neither does Howard. Until Howard couldn't hold back anymore and sighed before speaking."Zannie?"Calling the girl's name was enough to get her attention."Why? What's the problem?""Did you follow me because you didn't trust me? Were you afraid I'd be arrogant in front of Ms. Aida while teaching the kids?" Howard inquired softly.Zannie shook her head and nodded timidly. "I know your demeanor; I just thought you got short tempered on the youngsters.""I can't be angry with the kids, especially in this situation where they're also losing hope," Howard admitted to Zannie. "Did you find that surprising?""Yes, I'm just surprised; you weren't like that before, and I didn't think you'd change," Zannie responded.Howard didn't say anything, instead continuing to walk with Zannie, and they were only interrupted when they saw a child on the side of the roc

He's Back

To avoid the disgusting view, Zannie immediately sought out Jacob in the camp. The annoyance caused by Howard was immediately forgotten when she saw Jacob nearby..She felt giddy today. She tied her loose hair tightly just to make her look comfortable in Jacob's eyes."Zannie..."She automatically smiled at Jacob's approach.How are you?" At the same time his question was a slight sulk in her voice. Because of Jacob’s failure to speak about being a perfect soldier. "I'm fine, Zannie. And I know you are too." The young man's smile was wider than she was flaunting. "Is that all that you are going to say?" Zannie asked once again without any hint of enthusiasm in her voice. It seems that Jacob has no plans to open his career plans or maybe that was a part of the protocol as an aspiring soldier. She felt betrayed at the same time. He was her best friend, and it was frustrating to realize that Jacob preferred to keep his mouth shut."Of course." Jacob raised an eyebrow obviously, curiou

Tease A Friend

Instead of minding Howard's business, Zannie decided to keep herself busy, and when she turned around, Jacob was already behind her back.“You almost startled me,” Zannie uttered and timidly smiled.Jacob nodded and went to the designated area where the fellow novice soldiers were. “I’m sorry. I just noticed that you’re observing Mr. Howard, as you see, he looks so dedicated today.”"As he should. By the way, I'm happy because you've fulfilled your dream."If before, it seemed like she could not accept the realization of Jacob's dreams, now it seems okay to her. She may look very selfish if she stops him from pursuing his dream career and she has no right to do that. Time flies, over the length of time they’ve been together, his passion hasn’t even changed. But for Zannie, her feelings for her best friend have not changed.‘I'll be okay too. Hopefully tomorrow, I don't want you anymore. Hopefully I have someone else to crush on.’She stopped looking at him from her direction. When s
