I was staring at the ceiling as I lay down peacefully. I woke up pretty early. That was weird. My alarm clock usually wake me up. Luckily, I forgot to set it last night. It's alright. It was still quite dark outside. I want to sleep again but it seems like my soul was wide awake.
I hugged my big stuff toy. I only had three. The first one is a big teddy bear. My father gave it to me on my 13th birthday. I really have weak spots on big and cuddly things. My pig stuff toy and my monkey stuff toy. I always have them in my sleep.
I stood up lazily while dragging my teddy bear with me. I made it sit on my chair. I need to do my morning rituals. I went to the bathroom. I really want to sleep but my eyes won't let me. I pout childishly because of that.
Hmm.. I stared at myself on the the mirror. Why am I blushing? Well I'm used to it. I always woke up like this. I don't know why. I look so ugly right now.
I raked my fingers through my messy brown hair. I need a haircut. But I know the twins will freak out because they really love my hair. They said it was soft and silky. I got the natural color of my hair from my father. I'm a brunette. It wasn't that dark and not that light. I don't know what shade of brown is that.
After several minutes of standing here, I got frustrated on fixing my hair. Do I have any ponytail here or something? This hair blinds my eyes already. I open a drawer and took out a ponytail. Don't judge me. I just bought this because I already experienced having a long hair. I just took the hair that blinded my eyes and tied it on top of my head. I grimaced. I look like a shitzu. Ugh. But I think it's okay. Atleast I can see now.
I blinked many times as I stare at myself clearly. Eh? I look like my mom. Seriously, I just realized that I'm a male version of my mother. Some of my relatives told me so but I didn't quite believe it. But now I know. Well actually,I got my nose from my father. My eyes and lips from my mother. They said I'm cute. Oh c'mon. My brown eyes are so big. Well, forget it.
After my morning rituals like washing my face and so on, I went back to the kitchen. Hmm.. What will I eat for breakfast? I opened my refrigerator. I want some egg and hotdog. And a hot chocolate. Oh I also want rice. I want a heavy breakfast today. I'm half Filipino remember? I eat rice. I always have rice here. I still have time to cook.
After several minutes of cooking, I placed the omelet in the table. Well I mixed the eggs and hotdogs. I whisked the eggs and added the sliced hotdogs. The way I sliced the hotdog is like slicing a carrot. In circle shape. Adding a little salt is okay but the hotdog I bought is salty already. Too much salty food is bad for our health. For addition, I mixed catsup and mayonaisse and added a little bit of hot sauce on a little plate. This is where I will dip my omelet. Yummy! Oh my rice is cooked already. I will make my hot choco later.
After my delicious breakfast, I clean my kitchen. It was a little bit lonely. I hate eating alone. I sighed sadly. Maybe someday I will have someone who will cook for me. And ofcourse I will cook for that special person too. Someday. Okay, stop it already. It was too early to think about those things.
I grabbed my towel and went to the bathroom. Oh gosh. I have no heater so I always endure the cold water. Maybe for a few months, I'll be able to get one.
I started to strip my clothes to take a bath. I need to go to school early. I need to talk to my classmates about the cookfest we will manage for the next month.
B-But.. Girls are separated to boys.. That means.. O-Oh gosh. I bite my lower lip as the events yesterday keep flashing back on my mind. N-No way. I absent-mindly cover my chest with my arms.
H-How will I interact with the boys now? What if they.. Oh gosh. H-How will I protect myself.. if.. if.. s-something may really happen? I-I'm weak. They're taller and bigger than me. They can easily take advantage of me. W-What am I going to do? I'm so dead. I palmed my face. This is so frustrating. This is his fault. That guy.. But it's also my fault. Why did I do that? I put myself in danger.
His eyes..
I felt my body shuddered. W-What was that? Oh gosh snap out Alexis! It's not the right time to think about those eyes! Those eyes are the reason why.. why..
I closed my eyes tightly. Calm down Alexis. He won't find you. He can't hurt you. Breathe. Inhale, exhale. I don't know how long I've been doing that but I found myself relaxing already.
I step out of the bathroom after a long shower. My body's shivering from the cold water a while ago. Where are my clothes? I need to go to school now.
After dressing, I went in front of the mirror. I admired the small pendant that my father gave me. I always have this. This is my father's pendant. I open it and saw my parents' picture inside. My mother is so beautiful. I miss them so much. I smiled sadly and sighed. Everything's gonna be alright Alexis. Cheer up. I kissed it and grabbed my bag to walk to school. I need to go now.
I locked my apartment and started to walk. After minutes of walking, I noticed something. Something's weird. The streets are cleared. It's already seven. Many people should be crossing the streets right now. And another weird thing is, I can't see vehicles passing by. Eh? What's happening? It's kinda... familiar. I shrugged it off. Maybe it's just nothing.
After few minutes I reach the University. I looked around. Okay this is also weird. There are no students. Is there a typhoon or something? Why aren't people around? I need to call the twins. Wait. Where's my phone? Sheez. I forgot it. Why did I left my phone at this situation? Gosh. Something's silly.
After walking around for I don't know how long, I swear there are no people in this University. Even here in the parking lot. Where are they? Maybe I should go home right------
Shit. Aww. Gosh. Why now? That hurts. I really should head home right now. I pouted and rubbed my bum as I slowly stood up. I just slipped. That was embarassing. But luckily there are no people around. I'm so clumsy. I hate it. Maybe----
I gasped as I turn my head. I froze on my feet as I try to think. My mind went blank. It was so fast that I didn't even noticed. I was holding my breath as my knees wobbled and I fell on the ground again.
I-It's like a deja vu. I-I was almost hit again. It was inches away from me. The car stopped in front of me unlike before. I-I thought.. I'm going to die in that way. My heart is pounding so fast. I'm so scared. I closed my eyes and hugged my knees. I was shaking so badly. I-I won't cry. N-No not this time.
I was startled when I heard it closed harshly. T-The driver went out of the car? I felt my fear worsen. I still didn't open my eyes. N-No. I really won't. I can hear heavy footsteps getting near me. I-It was a big person. I whimphered by the thought of that. I-I'm so dead. Someone help me.
I can't find my voice. I was shaking more as the person got near me. It was very intimidating. I can feel the heavy atmosphere. My body shivered suddenly. That kind of shiver.. I.. I.. N-No way.. T-That.. That familiar scent.. N-No, it's impossible. I-It can't be.
It can't be. H-He can't be. I can feel my eyes open on its own. I don't want this. I thought my heart is going to burst in any moment. I raise my head slowly. I-It was a big person. I know its a big person.
F-From his feet.. T-To his body.. I gasped.. U-Until.. N-No..
Those eyes..
I was staring at those cold eyes. They were dead, emotionless. It seems like they were staring right through my soul, piercing it to pieces. H-He's...
Those familiar grey eyes.. I can see a tint of blue on it. This kind of guy.. His sleeves were folded into his elbow. The first two buttons of his white shirt were open.. E-Exposing his tone chest. Those big muscles that can crush my bones easily..
His dishaveled black hair that seems like he just ran his fingers on it. His pointed nose.. T-Those sinful.. lips. His smell.. A description of.. perfection.
Oh gosh. Why am I thinking of these things? He almost killed me.. Twice! I can feel the anger rise through my chest as I thought about it. I clenched my fist as I got my composure. I stood up and dusted my pants. I looked up at him and glared at him. I don't care if I'm half his size! I will not let this go! Definitely not!
"Hoy! Alam mo sumusobra ka na! Alam mo bang muntik mo na naman akong mapatay?! Wala akong pakelam kung mas malaki ka sa akin! Buhay ko na ang pinaguusapan dito. Kung makapagmaneho ka akala mo sayo yung daan! Hindi ka ba marunong sumunod sa speed limit?! Mga tao nga naman ngayon. Para sabihin ko sayo mas mahalaga ang buhay ng tao kaysa sa kotse mo! Wala akong pakelam kung hindi mo ko naiintindihan! Wala rin akong pakelam kung guwapo ka! Itong tandaan mo, mas cute pa rin ang puwet ko kaysa sayo!"
I panted harshly as I finished my rant. I'm still glaring at him no matter how cold his eyes are. I'm always like this when I'm angry. Words will automatically slipped from my mouth especially Filipino words. I saw something in his eyes but it quickly disappeared. His eyes turned colder. I gulped. D-Did he understood what I said? Y-Yeah that's right. I blabbled silly things.. and sometimes it's too late to bring it back. And that's why I'm so dead. I'm so dead right now. I gulped again. Shit. What have I done? H-He's glaring at me.
"Ah!"
I was lifted and was slammed to the hood of his car. His hand was wrapped around my neck tightly. I-I can't breathe.
"Repeat."
His deep voice made my body shivered from.. f-fear. I touched his hand. I-I can't grab it. I can't breathe. It's like my neck is going to break. I slowly open my eyes and I was greeted by his blazing eyes. Am I going to die?
"I-I.... I-I...."
My eyes started to water. A whimper escape from my lips. His face harden more. His jaw was tense. His eyes darken. It was killing me inside. He released my neck harshly. I gasped and coughed as I try to breathe some air. I almost died again. I can't stand up. I'm still lying here in the hood of his car. He's so cruel. How dare he!
"I-I... I said.. M-My bum.. is cuter.. than.. than y-your face. So back off!"
Oh gosh. D-Did I said that? I'm so stupid. Am I digging my own grave? I screamed when his right fist connected near on my face. H-He punched his own car. I-I know he left a dent on it. I-I heard it. He leaned over me and growled.
"You're dead."
I gasped. Why did I provoked someone like him? You're the worst Alexis. You're so stupid. I shouldn't have said that. Why am I a magnet of trouble? His eyes were more dangerous now. I can feel his hot breath on my face. H-He's so near. Oh gosh. N-No Alexis. No. I avoided his eyes and turned my face to the left. I bite my lower lip. I heard him growled. I made him angrier. I-I..
Wait. My eyebrows furrowed and I gasped when I noticed his hand. Oh gosh. I sat right up.
"Y-You're bleeding."
I grabbed his hand and look at it. I-I hate blood. I-I really hate blood. Oh my.. It's bruised. Oh gosh. I started to panic. I don't know what I'm going to do. Tears pooled on my eyes. I'm so stupid. It's all my fault. His hand was bleeding because of me.
"I-I'm.. so sorry."
I sobbed. My tears fell down on my eyes. Why am I-I crying.. because of him? I'm good at stopping my tears. B-But why am I crying right now? Specially on a guy like him. I promised not to cry anymore. B-But its my fault. He's hurt. My chest tighten. I brought his hand through my lips and closed my eyes. I-I don't know what I'm doing. B-But I remember my mother done this to me. She told me that it can help to ease the pain.
I gasped when my back hit the hood of the car again. Oh gosh. He's so angry. My hands are pinned above my head painfully. I'm staring at his blazing eyes. Is he going to kill me? Stop crying Alexis. You're making him more angrier. I can't do anything about it. I bite my lower lip again just to stop the sob to escape from my lips. I'll just wait if he's going to kill me now.
I don't know how long I am in this position but I didn't leave his eyes. I don't want to make him angrier. I blinked my eyes and released my lower lip. I can feel myself come down. Is it because he's h-handsome? Oh gosh. W-What kind of idea is that?!T-That's not what I mean! I can feel my cheeks heaten up. But no one can deny how good looking he was. I got this urge to run my fingers through his----- Oh goodness! W-What am I thinking? Stop stop stop! I avoided his gaze. No you can't Alexis Rodrigues! N-Not now please! I look up at him again and saw his jaw clenched. Oh gosh. Did I made him angry again?
"Lucas."
Mr. Gray eyes didn't even bother to leave my eyes. He's watching every move. I swear he's planning to kill me. I look at the person who just spoke earlier. Oh gosh. Another giant wearing a suit. He glance at me and he had this surprise look on his face. The guy suddenly spoke in a familiar language. I think its portuguese. Is my spelling right? Español and that language have similarities sometimes. Mr. Gray eyes released me.
"Ele é meu."
He said coldly. What? Eh? The other guy smirked.
"Understood."
Then Mr. Gray eyes stared at me for a second and left. What's that?
"He hurted you badly."
I glanced at the formal guy that I didn't notice at all. I didn't even notice him got near me.
"Be careful."
He said then left. I'm still sitting here in his car for I don't know how long. What did just happen? Oh gosh. This day is so frustrating. I can't say anything.
I'm staring at myself at the mirror. I can't forget the events that happen this morning. I didn't go to work tonight because I'm not feeling well. I didn't do anything today. I-I can't think straight. After I arrived here, I open my phone and saw Eva's message saying that there are no classes today. I tried to call the twins after I read that but they are not answering the phone.
I sighed and touched my neck. It was obvious. His marks.. I can see them even in my wrists. That guy.. Who is he? I bite my lower lip as his face invaded my mind. No no no! Not again. I was startled when my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and answered it.
"BABY AL!!!"
Oh gosh. Here they go.
"Sorry for texting you late. Did you went to school?"
Yeah. I went to school and I almost died. I sighed and shook my head.
"Hey baby Al! Are you there?"
I took my monkey stuff toy and hugged it.
"Y-Yeah."
"Are you alright? You sound weird."
"I-I just caught a cold a while ago."
I hate lying to them but I can't think properly. I don't know what to say.
"Hmm.. Okay? Well.. Hey baby guess what?! We just heard something very interesting a while ago!"
"What is it?"
I lay down and closed my eyes.
"THE SEXY BRAZILIAN BILLIONAIRE WAS IN OUR SCHOOL THIS MORNING!"
I took my phone away from my ear. Sexy brazilian billionaire?
"Oh it's just another believable rumor! They said someone spotted him."
"And then?"
I asked uninterested. I had enough for today.
"Oh c'mon baby Al! You know what if you saw his face, you will have a boner! He's that handsome! So show some interest!"
I rolled my eyes. I can feel my eyes got heavy again. I'm so sleepy. I closed my eyes again. I'm ready to sleep.
"You will regret it! We had enough! Let's see. If you just saw those grey eyes you will change your mind and pester us about him! Don't think little about Lucas Santoro!"
They hang up on me. Oh those drama queens. I was about to placed my phone on the top of my little drawer when it rang. There's a message. I took it again and sleepily open one of my eye.
Take it mean baby Al!
I felt all the hairs of my body stood up. My eyes widen. My mind and soul awaken. I froze on my bed. Oh gosh.. N-No.. Way.. I-Impossible. It can't be. H-He can't be. T-They must be kidding me. N-No. I stared at it for I don't know long. My heart was beating so fast again. I must be dreaming.
Ele é meu.
I can't find the right words to say. What's the meaning of this? This is a nightmare.
"O-Oh.. shit."
........Kill me now.
******
You had a clue babies? Sorry for the late update. See you again. I'm sleepy. Do you want the translation? Wait for it. :) Ooh this will be fun.
