11. Kiss

He stop his black jaguar in front of a house. Or should I say a mansion? It's so big to be called a house. Suddenly, the front gate opened. I guess it was controlled by a remote or something because I didn't saw a single person opened it.

I glance at Ethan. He still looks furious. I don't know what really pissed him off. He parked towards the garage. I gawked when I saw a pile of cars inside. I am not familiar with the different models but I know, it cost a fortune. Ethan got out of the car. I was about to do the same when Ethan told me not to. Then, he walk around and open door beside me. He pulled me from my seat and dragged me. Well, again.

My eyes widen as soon as he open the main door. There are maids lined up in two, looking like they are waiting for him. When they saw him, they greeted him altogether. Seriously?

Ethan didn't bother to take a look at them. How ungrateful?! I smile at them but they seem to be taken aback. Why would they be? I thought.

"Master Ethan." I startled when I heard a voice at the side. He is wearing a coat and tie kind of clothes. I guess, he's in his 50's. His hair is gray and is wearing an eyeglass. He looks very strict to be exact.

"Jack." I heard Ethan called his name.

"Tumawag po ang Uncle nyo, Master."

"Later, Jack." He cleared his throat. "I'm with someone." He pulls me in front. "This is Winter. She is mine. Treat her well." Mine? I look at him sideways but he didn't even bother to explained further.

"Winter, he is Jack. My butler." I turned to face his butler.

"Hi!" I greeted him enthusiastically. "Nice to meet you, sir!"

"My pleasure is all mine, lady." He bowed his head on me. Looking like giving me courtesy. "Please just call me, Jack."

"Sure." I cheerfully answered.

"We'll go now to my room." His room?!

"What-" I didn't have a chance to continue what I will say as he drags me away again. We went to a luxurious white stairs and climb up. It is designed with black carpet in its middle. There is a chandelier on top middle of the mansion. It looks very expensive. It has crystals all over. I wonder what kind of stones are in there.

"Diamonds." Ethan said.

"Huh?" Did I voiced out my thoughts? I grimaced. I look at him while we still ascending the stairs. He is holding my hand and all I can see is his back. I blush as I thought of his broad shoulders.

"The chandelier is made of white gold and the stones on it are diamonds." I gaped at him. He said that while shrugging. I'm right. It's very expensive. I used to living in fortune. But we never had that kind of thing in our house.

"Wow." I uttered.

As we reached the second floor, Ethan and I still continue to walk further. He stopped at the last room in this floor and gently let go of my hand. As he opened the door, cool air welcomed us.

"My room." Ethan said as he turned and stared at me. He is already inside but I didn't step forward as soon as he said that. I feel like I'm invading his personal space if I comes in.

"Come."

"But it's your room." I protested. He just raised his eyebrow. "I mean, isn't it bad for a girl to just barge in a guy's room?" I remember my grandfather when he learn that I am always barging in Clark's room. He went mad about it. He said it's not proper for a young girl like me to be in another boy's room. Especially, when we're just alone.
