Ann’s POV:
I woke up realizing that James was holding my hand while his head buried on the bed. How can he sleep like that all night?
I was about to wake him when I heard a knock and a sweet little voice..
“ann? Can I go inside?”
It’s Jane ..
Ann: oh sure Jane..
I saw James scratched his eyes and he finds it hard to open it because of the ray of sunlight from my window. He let go of my hand and stretched a little. Hihi.. I think he broke his backbone. I heard it cracked.. haha!
Jane peeped at the door and went inside my room. She’s in a cute pink pajamas and she’s dragging a big rabbit stuff toy; aww.. cute as ever..
Jane: is the frog still asleep?
I turned to James and saw him leaning on the side table. He’s still not on his mind; maybe still dreaming. I don’t know why but I find him so handsome. His eyes were half-closed and there are marks of the mattress on his face. His messy hair seems to be some strands of gold when the sunlight hit them.
Ann: (whispers) let’s try not to make some noise, okay? (smiles)
Jane: hey frog?
Ann: shhh..
Jane: but he’s already awake..
Ann: he doesn’t want to hear noise..
jameS: (scratching his eyes) no.. I’m okay (yawns)hey Jane..
jane: (grins) you’re still sleepy?
James: (smiles) no.. I’m good (looks at ann) wanna go home?
Jane: what? Don’t go home! I still want to hear stories..
James’ POV:
This kid is really cute..
I was about to answer her when I felt my phone’s vibration. I pulled it from my pocket and checked who’s calling me this early..
Oh.. it’s Ericka..
o-o-o-o
James: hey babe..
Ericka:hey.. why didn’t you call me last night? Did you receive my message?
James: oh.. (rubs his nape) uh.. yea. I did..
Ericka: why didn’t you call me?
James: oh..sorry. I was so busy..
Ericka: It’s okay. (sighs) I really miss you babe. Sorry if I don’t have much time with you; my mom;s nagging me..
jameS: oh.. it’s okay. I understand. Don’t exhaust yourself too much, hmm? I don’t want you to get sick..
Ericka: aww.. how sweet of you! Oh right! Want to spend the day with m? I’m free today.
James: oh.. great! I miss you, too. Let’s have dinner later, okay?
Ericka: okay babe.. I love you..
James: I love you more (smiles)
Ericka: bye now.. see yah later..
James: okay.. bye
o-o-o-o
My girlfriend really works hard. It’s good to know that she still cares for me even if she’s busy..
I was startled to see Ann suddenly went out without a reason. Sheesh.. there goes her weirdness again.
I looked at Jane and saw her staring at me with those big innocent eyes in horror. Her face was full of curiosity as if demanding me to explain something.
Jane: (hugs her stuff toy) you..
I poked her face but it’s no use. She keeps on haunting me with those eyes. Seriously, does weirdness run in their blood too?
James: (pokes jane) hey kiddo..are you alright?
Her eyes—HER EYES ARE REALLY TERRYFYING! X( They’re killing me
Jane: (stares at james seriously) now I know why Ann should marry the prince (blinks her eyes) you..you made her upset..
She’s upset? Just for a phone call, she’s upset?!
Jane: I don’t want to marry you anymore!
James: jane..
Jane: I like the prince now! Hmp! (hugs her stuff toy)
After throwing a pillow on me, she crawled down the bed and slammed the door really hard.
AGAIN! Does slamming doors runs in their blood too?!! She’s like a little Ann!
Ann’s POV:
Why are you hurting again, ann?
Even if how many times I say to myself to just ignore, I really can’t! ugh!
“ann? You’re up this early?”
I looked behind and saw terry. Did he sleep here?
Ann: how come you’re here?
Terry: your mom let me sleep in Ivan’s room. Are you okay?
Ann: (smiles weakly) not really..
The house was so quiet; everyone’s still sleeping. Terry pulled me gently towards the stairs and we sat there to talk.
Terry: any problem?
Ann: (looks down) it’s not really big. It’s just that I can’t accept it yet.
Terry: (sighs) james and his girlfriend? What’s the name again?
Ann: Ericka (looks down)
Terry: Ann, I’m willing to..(sighs) to take you away. Just say when and I’ll definitely talk to you parents. I’m willing to marry you.
Ann: T..Terry..
Terry: I already told you the reason why I came back, right?
Ann: (stares weakly at terry)
What am I doing? I keep on holding on to James and I didn’t realize that I have someone who loves me truly.; someone who wants to marry me and accepts me for who I am. Why can’t I let go of james?! Why am I so stupid?!
Ann: Terry (releases a deep breath)
“that won’t be necessary”
Both of us looked behind and saw james leaning on the wall near the stairs; he’s listening?! >o<
James: (glares at terry)
Terry: (glares back)
Uh-oh.. Those eyes—those fierce eyes of James Reid; why am I seeing them again?!
RUUUUUUUN! >o<
Narrator’s POV:
Terry stood up and faced James with those angry eyes.
James: (still glaring at Terry) Ann.. please got to you room now. Change. We will go home.
Ann immediately obeyed James and run towards her room.
James: are you really gonna continue? I already warned you.
Terry: (chuckles sarcastically) why? Afraid?
James: why would I be? She’s mine.
Terry: (scoffs) rest assured, I’m not a snatcher; I’m just taking what really belongs to me.
James: stop it. Stop it right now.
Terry: why would I? I just made a first move (smirks) stop? Here’s the good news for you, I will never stop till I get her. Don’t just sit and talk James; you never know, while you’re busy with “the other one”, I already pulled her away.. someday, she will realize that she loves me and she will leave you FOR REAL..
James: (swallows hard) here's a good news for you, that someday that you keep on talking about? I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I WILL NEVER HAPPEN..(taps terry's shoulder hard) butt out..
