Every Line Crossed

"What! What! What, again!" I screamed.

"Faster ha, Ma'am Kill! Baka you'll take maraming light years pa!" she immediately closed the door after.

"What do you know about light years!"

"Nag-highschool naman ako, Ma'am! Excuse me!" I heard her scream back even with my closed door.

Criselle is my handmaiden. I am three years older than her but we both grew up together since she is our mayordoma's daughter. I guess, she's also my one and only friend even if she annoys me in every single day of our lives.

Nakasimangot akong lumabas sa aking bathroom. My hair is tied to a towel and I am just wearing my silk robe. I proceeded in my walk-in-closet where I found Criselle, seating on the couch.

"Get out."

"Aray ko ah. Palaging naka-get out!"

"Do you really wanna see me naked?" I teasingly asked her. I removed my robe's ribbon. Mabilis niya namang tinakpan ang mata niya at tumakbo ulit papalabas.

"Bold! Bold!"

I gritted my teeth. Argh! As if I would really show her my body! Asa siya! Asa! Feeling ang bruha!

I hummed, feeling the peacefulness of my world without Criselle's presence. I ran my fingers on top of the long line of my clothes, trying to decide what shall I wear.

In the end, I chose a blush-pink off-shoulder dress that goes below my knees. I wore my nude pointed high heels and walk towards my vanity table to apply my every day make up.

"Ma'am, stress mo talaga ako! 30 minutes na ang lumipas oh! Para kang pagong na tinubuan ng katawan, Ma'am!"

Umirap ako at sinulyapan lang si Criselle na kakapasok lang muli sa aking walk-in-closet gamit ang malaking salamin sa harap ko. Malakas niyang ibinagsak ang sarili niya sa couch. I frowned. Di naman bagay sa kanya mag-tantrums!

"Didn't you remember you ruined my bath?"

She laid front with her chest, lifted. Her chin is in her palm while she's looking at me through my mirror, sporting a weird looking smile.

"Ruined ka dyan! One hour ka na nga don sa banyo mo! Ano, Ma'am? Camping?"

I closed my eyes tightly while breathing deeply. I tried to hold back because I'm still not done fixing my face. Kung hindi ay makakatikim talaga saakin itong babaeng 'to!

"Ano na, Ma'am! Mapapaglipasan na tayo ng panahon dito! Miss ko na ang aking mahal..." she dramatically said while wiping her invisible tears.

Hindi ako nakapagpigil. I scope the first thing that I saw on my vanity table and throw it on her.

I heard her scream but the thing, unfortunately, fell on the couch. Tsk, dapat tumama na lang sa kanya.

"Ay, foundation! Thank you, Ma'am! Bait mo talaga!"

"Criselle..." I called her and turned from my seat to face her. Galing sa foundation ay tumingin siya saakin at ngumiti. I smiled back at her. "Wanna have that?"

Tumango siya saakin ng suno-sunod at hinawakan ang foundation bottle gamit ang dalawa niyang kamay.

"I can give you that if you would let me sew your mouth..." I sweetly smiled at her.

Her eyes widen and she stood up from my couch. My eyes followed her motions until she walked towards me and put the foundation back on my table.

"Beautiful inside naman ako, Ma'am... 'di ko need nyan." she laughed at me and pointed the door. I smiled again. "Hintayin kita sa labas, Ma'am."
