"Okay so sinasabi mo na yung magiging 'step-brother' mo ay yung nasa bandang pinapanood mo lagi sa youtube?"

TRANSLATION: Okay so you're saying that your soon-to-be 'step-brother' is in that band you're always watching on youtube?

"Yes! Na-star struck nga ako nung nakita ko sya eh! Shet bes ang pogi nya talaga! Kaso yung ugali...ewan ko ba dun. May bipolar disorder yata" I said to her then laugh at the end.

Im currently here in my room talking to my bestfriend over the phone. Its past 10 pm in manila right now while its already 12 midnight here. Well at least our timezones are not that complicated.

TRANSLATION: Yes! I was actually star strucked when I saw him! Shet bes he's really so handsome! But the attitude...I dont know. I think he has a bipolar disorder.

"Grabe ka naman sakanya, bes. Baka naman bad mood lang sya" she defended making me sit up in my bed.

TRANSLATION: you're so much to him, bes. Maybe he's just in a bad mood.

"Anong bad mood? Ang bait-bait nung una tapos pagdating sa taas biglang nagtaray?!?!? Ang sabihin mo plastik sya!" I said with a louder voice and mentally cursed when I heard a door open then saw a little bit of light sneaking under my door.

TRANSLATION: what bad mood? He's so nice at first then when we got upstairs he suddenly bitchen out?!?!? Just say that he's a plastic!

"Wait bes. May nagising yata. I'll call you tomorrow. Goodnight. Mwah" I whispered then hung up the call, not letting her finish talking, and throws the sheets on me covering my head.

TRANSLATION: someone has woken up, I think.

My bedroom door creaked open making a bit of light from the outside illuminate my room a little. I prayed for it to be Liz or Andrew. Just not Luke. Please.

Footsteps starts to come my way and I prayed harder for it not to be Luke Hemmings. It stopped but I know the person is already standing beside my bed. Then it happened. The person snatched my blanket away from my face and that person is Luke Hemmings. Wow lucky for me. Note the sarcasm.

"You know, its not good to talk loudly on the phone when you know everyone is asleep" he says towering over me and I sit up grabbing the material out of his grip and cover my chest unnoticeably because Im not wearing a bra.

"And how did you know that Im talking on my phone if you're asleep?" I said cocking one eyebrow at him.

"I was in the bathroom thats why I heard your annoying voice obviously talking over the phone with that ching-chong language. Im just holding back myself not to go in your room, but I clearly lost it when you practically shouted" he said coldly and I glare at him.

Then why did he have to open my door when he could open the bathroom's?

I thought annoyingly to myself but remembered I always lock my bathroom door.

"I.did.not.shout. My voice just got a little bit louder that time. And sorry not sorry for making you up all night. Now please leave my room because I need my beauty sleep" I said demandingly. He bend over making his head on the same level as mine. My eyes widen at our sudden closeness. I mean, who wouldn't right?

He look me directly in the eyes before placing his index and thumb over my chin then examine my features. I gulp at all the thoughts of what-could-happen-nexts that keeps rushing in my mind. I cant speak or move, I just stare at him. In short, Im paralyzed at his actions.

What the hell is he doing?!?!

"Yeah. You really need your beauty sleep. You're looking ugly as hell" he said then smirk at the end.

What the-

"Peste ka! Lumayas ka ditong hayop ka! Get out!" I said while pushing him out off my room.

TRANSLATION: You fucking pest! Get out of here you animal! Get out!

He just laughed at me while Im literally pushing him out. When he's finally out of my door he turn around to face me and was about to say something when I beat him to it.

"Have a bad sleep and a horrible nightmare, Hemmings" I said with an angry tone and the last thing I saw before I shut the door was his annoying smirk.

That night, sleep didn't came to me and that's because of that stupid guy with an annoying smirk and... gorgeous blue eyes?

WHAT THE HELL?!?!??
