(AUTHOR'S NOTE: THE ITALICIZED SENTENCES ARE SPOKEN BY THE CHARACTERS IN FILIPINO...SO YEAH..)
IT WAS ALREADY THE DAY OF THE TRIP...
UGH I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M STUCK WITH THIS ANNOYING BOY...
We were entering the bus..."Hey Cherie, Which seat do you prefer?" He asked..."Uhmm, I don't know...Maybe in the middle row?" I said. "No, I mean which do you prefer the seat near the window or the seat near the aisle?" , "Oh, uhmm..." If I seat near the window he'll corner me then pest me again and gain ughhhh...
"Near the aisle..." I answered. "Hm, but I think you should seat near the window since you're a girl...girls don't seat near aisles." WHAT? "Uh, okay..." I said. But he just asked me where should I seat ... WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM ...
We are supposed to head to a hotel..."Hey, do you know the hotel that we're visiting is where I was staying at? It was also the place where I met a beautiful looking girl named Cherie.." he said then gave me a smirk."Oh yeah, I remember the place..." I asked. "I wish I could see you again wearing a dress and looking so beautiful. " he whispered...
"You really have bad taste don't ya?" I said.
"I don't have bad taste, in fact I find you pretty all the time..." then he cornered me then leaned to me closer...I pushed him slowly..."What's so beautiful about me?" then I laughed. "PFFT, HAHAHA... seriously you're wasting your looks on me..." I said with a poker face... "Oh so now you're saying I'm handsome...You're already turning me on..." He whispered to my ears...his lips touched my ears and it gave me shivers..."We are meant for each other..." he whispered. "Pfft, no way... " I said.
"I'm sleepy, can I rest on your shoulder?" He asked suddenly then he yawned... "..." I didn't reply. He rested his head not waiting for my reply.. PFFT..
Our classmates who're in front of our seat truned to us then teased me..."Ohh, I envy you Cherie!" Clarissa whispered..."Huh?" I said..."Can we switch places?" they asked pfft sure! "Uh, sure!" I said then Ryouichi pulled my arm..."I love this pillow..." Is he dreaming? EH?? "Aww, he's so cute!" my two classmates whispered...
"What's cute?" some of my classmates asked then they were approaching us even while the bus was moving..."Aww... Ryouichi's so cuutee!" they chorused..."Cherie, lets switch seats!" the girls kept asking me that...but Ryouichi won't let go of my arm... "Ryouichi, I'm gonna switch places!" I whispered... "Stay here..." , "Wow, he spoke in Filipino!" , "How cuute!" they were all looking at him.
UGHH Ryouichi won't lose his grip of my arm..."Don't leave me..." he said. "Girls! what's the commotion all about?" Our professor asked with his mic. "Go back to your seats..."
I can't move, he already cornered me... "Hey, are you alright sleeping like this?" I whispered..."Why do you want me to rest my head on your lap instead?" he suddenly opened his eyes then lifted he head up..."Uhm...no not really." . Then he smirked "Your arm is so soft..." then he gripped again my arm and hugged then he rested his head again on my shoulder. "You're so perfect Cherie..." He suddenly said. "What?" I pretend not to hear.
Suddenly he hugged me and I can't move already. I was like his stuffed teddy-bear... "Cherie,your body is so warm..." he whispered to my ears... His body was warm too...and I felt like it , how he hugged me... WAIT WHAT? HUH? WHAT THE HECK?
We already arrived...Ryouichi was still sleeping..."Dude, wake up!" I whispered..."Huh?" then he looked outside... "Oh, we're here...".
"Students arranged in two lines!" our professor shouted.
"Don't fool around the hotel all right? Stay with your partners all the time..." Our professor shouted.
"Hear that? Professor said that we should be together so stay close to me..." Ryouichi said..."Whatever..."
We all went to the lobby...The owner was there and he noticed Ryouichi...
"H-have I seen you before? Oh that's right you're Usui's son!" he called out...
"Yes sir...We are having a field trip today and all of us are tasked to ask you questions..."Our classmates were looking at Ryouichi...then they started to whisper to each other.. "He's rich!" , "Woah...he has looks, rich and intelligence!" , "He's so perfect!" .....
Yeah the only thing he lacks is good taste in women...PFFT. He's nuts...
"All of you line up and ready your questions!" our professor ordered. "When you're done you can explore the hotel come back here at exactly twelve pm..."
"Ryouichi, you want to be first so you can tour the hotel with your partner?" the owner asked...
"Really?" Ryouichi grew excited it's as if he didn't stayed here..."Did ya hear that, Cherie I can tour you wherever you like..." Oh maaan... He will toy me again.
"So how's it going with you and your dad, have you found a nice house to stay?" the owner asked Ryouichi many questions... about his dad and stuff related to him and I was stiff I was just like an assistant of his... "Oh, this is my partner... " WOW they finally noticed me... "Uhmm, Nice to meet you sir..." I greeted him awkwardly. Then we asked him our questions about how to manage things and stuff about business...
"Uh, so what're we going to do now?" I asked him..."Didn't you tour the whole place when you were here? " he asked "Well no not really I was just at the lobby and inside the big ballroom..." then he interrupted..."I can tour you...You want to go to each floor?" then dragged me to an elevator..."Hey! Ouch!" His grip was too strong...
"Oh sorry, I just grew excited because you're with me... When I stayed here I was a loner like you. I explored the hotel by myself since dad wasn't with me..." , "Oh..." I can sense that he's longing for his father..."Hey can we see the pool?" I spurted out so he wouldn't be so sad..."Oh sure...You know what the pool in here is so big!" he blabbed about the things about the hotel and stuff... I liked it when he's like this...
When he's childish and excitable...
The elevator stopped on the 13th floor... I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS...
"Hey didn't you know that there are rumors in the 13th floor?" he said...
"R-rumors? What rumors?" I asked, shit if this was about ghost and spooky stuff I'M GONNA GO DOWN..."Y'know, about white ladies and stuff...That's why people don't check-in in this floor." he said he doesn't really looked scared...In fact he pushed me outside the elevator and he dragged me. He ran like a child..."It's so fun running down the hallway it's like a maze! Hey Cherie, imagine that we're being chased by something..." he said "What something?!" I asked "Y'know, mummies and white ladies!"...WHAAAAAAAAT?! UGH I'M SO SCARED RIGHT NOW! We were all alone in the entire floor...
Then suddenly all of the lights turned off and we couldn't see anything since we are in the middle of the hallways which does'nt get sunlight...SHIT HAPPENS, UGHH MY HEART WAS BEATING LOUDLY... then I didn't feel Ryouichi's hand, he let go of me!
"R-ryouichi? Where are you?" I asked then there was no response SHIT! UGHH WHY DO I HAVE BAD LUCK?!! I'M A BIG COWARD... UGH IF I PANICK I MIGHT RUN EVERYWHERE...I tried to reach my cellphone from my small backpack then it fell off the floor... SHIT! I grew desperate trying to search for my cellphone. I was on the floor...I couldn't feel anything then there was something I felt...It was a skin...It was a hand! I was shocked..."Ryouichi?!" , "You got me!" Pfft it was him after all. "I was trying to scare you...So I crawled down the floor..." he said I can sense he stood up "You turned off the lights?" I asked then stood up...
"Uhm... Why would I turn them off? Ooohhh you sure are scared eh?" he was near me then suddenly I felt his hands around my waist...WHAT NOW?!
"Dude what is it just now?" I said..."Stay close to me..." he said "You're sacred right?" , "No I'm not!" I lied...then he suddenly let go off me..."Okay then suit yourself...I'll leave you there, By the way I got your cellphone!" He laughed then added "Have a good time with the nice white lady over there!" SHIT UGHH HE'S LEAVING ME! SHIT, SHIT,SHIT...."Hey Ryouichi wait up! Where the heck are you?" I shouted...then
THUD!
I bumped into him and we fell down the floor... I can't see anything all I know is that I was over him...
Then I felt his face I accidentally squeashed his face with my right hand...PFFT...
"Ow... that's my face!" , "Oh, uhmm sorry..." I tried to stand up but he dragged me down to his body...
"Dude, let's stand up already..." I said...
"I told you keep close to me...." He whispered...SHIT MY FACE WAS NEAR HIS...His breath was so warm...
"C'mmon lets stand up...." I said. He put his arms around my waist... he locked me to his body. "Your body is so soft..." he whispered to my ears... "Dude what are you a pervert?" then he laughed...
Suddenly the lights turned on
I can already see him, SHIT! Urghh maybe I'm all red now...
"What's with the lights here?", "Guess they turned them off cause there are no people here..."
I stood up and I offered my hand to give him a lift..."Say, do you eat tomatoes and apples everyday?" He asked suddenly...PFFT..."Eh?" , "Well it's just that you seem red always..." then he smirked.
"W-what the hell?" , "You opened up to me these days but you're still embarassed..." then he laughed..."Whatever... Let's go to the swimming pool...I wanna see the pool..."
"Fine, Ms. Cruz....Why are you so into the pool anyways?" he said with a sigh then smirked at me...
" I like to see huge blue pools..." , "Do you swim?" he suddenly asked. "Uh yeah..." , "Oh that's why you were like me...I also liked to swim but I had a trauma once..." he told me his trauma when he drowned because of cramps, since then he doesn't want to swim...
We arrived, It was a really huge pool! I want to take a dip already...
