"Nothing," sana quickly answered. "Go back with others." She commanded her bodyguard and looked back at the nurse who was still in awe. "I'm sorry about that."

"I-it's okay." The nurse blushed. "I'm really sorry for interrupting."

I didn't bother to stay so I entered the room once again. Umma was still eating. She gave me a concerned look when I sat back.
"What happened?"

I shook my head. My appetite died down so I just played with my spoon. "Umma," I mumbled. "She's driving me crazy."

I had no energy to argue anymore nor to talk about it. Sana really did annoyed me this time. I was so mad and I could still feel my blood boiling.

Not her type, huh? As if she was my type! Duh?

-

The operation had started. I would like to stay but umma asked me to get some stuff at the hotel. She couldn't go because she had to fill up some papers for the operation. It was olay for me too because I just realized I haven't taken a shower. It was not like I smelled though, but I really wanted to jump insider the shower right now.

And that was what I did right when we got there. I didn't speak to Sana the whole ride. We were not okay.

I was not okay.

I sighed in relief when the cold droplets of water hit my skin. It had been a long day. So many things happened yesterday and to think that it was just our first day here.

What she said bothered me a lot. In a way that I felt ugly. I felt insecure. Why would that statement bother me? It was not like I cared about what she thought of me.

I slipped into my comfort outfit, jeans and shirt. I tried wearing dress before, it was not bad. I would love to wear a dress because people said I looked really good on it.

Wait, when did I ever wanted to look pretty for someone. Looking descent was enough.

"Are you still upset about the dating thing?" Sana asked me once I stepped out of the bathroom.

"It doesn't matter." I started combing my hair. "It's not even real at all."

"Yeah." She added, "are we cool now?"

I nodded in response. I turned my back from her.

"You're mad."

"I'm not." I denied. I went back on drying my hair. She should know why I was mad! She was being so annoying!

"Am I that annoying?"

I quickly turned around to find her standing in front of me. How did she make it that fast?

Here I was, once again, cornered by Sana. Frozen under her stare. I gulped down hard.

She put her both hands at the wall, completely trapping me. My breath hitched. "Tell me, Tzuyu. What's on your mind right now?" She spoke in deep voice.

I bit my lower lip, her eyes darted down on it. I had to look tough or else she would make fun of me. "We can fix this in a more appropriate way."

She let out a husky chuckle. "Am I not being appropriate?"

Was it me or the room was just getting hot? "Do you think this position is appropriate?" I managed to speak.

"What position do you like?"

My heart was now going to burst. I knew my face was burning red. No matter how hard I wanted to control it, my heart really wanted to jump out of my chest.

"S-step a-away," I bit my lip harder.

Sana was inching close. She whispered, "you can feel it too, I know."

I was anticipating what would happen next. I felt something tingling. I squeezed my legs.

Sana must have noticed that because the side of her lips pulled upward.

She was mocking me. I would not let her.

I pushed her away. "We have to go back to the hospital."

She was about to speak but I dismissed her right away. I snapped a look at her. "Stop this."

She was playing with me. I couldn't allow that. This must stop now. Or else I would be the one who was hurt at the end.

I was just being irrational. Yes, that was it.

She let out a sigh in frustration. "Something must've gotten into me. I'm sorry."

I looked at her. She was looking at the ground. I couldn't read her face. Emotions were all mixed up. And then all of a sudden, I forgot that I was mad.

"You can tell me everything," I carefully said.

Sana closed our gap again. But this time, her forehead was leaning agaisnt mine. Our eyes met as she whispered, "I don't want to lose you."

I could feel her hot breath agaisnt my lips.

Tell me Sana, I was screaming inside my head.

Tell me. . .

I wanted to understand her. I wanted to know what was bothering her.

I wanted to know if. . . . . .

. . . . .she could feel it too.

"But I have to. You're fired."
