The One

THE ONE: 012

Ion's POV

I'm having a dinner with my sister in this fine restaurant.

She just arrived from the states. She was finishing her stuying there because our parents wants to. Though she wants to graduate here but our mom and dad keeps telling her that it would be better if she finish her course there.

"Kuya, care to drive me home today? I'm too lazy to drive." she spoke while munching her food. Our parents knows that she's back. Actually, she went home first and went straight to my company.

"talk when you're done eating what's on your mouth" i told her. "stern as ever. hmp" i heard Jackie whisper.

(i miss jackieee girl :<<)

"now, answer me?" "what?" i pretended i didn't understood her earlier. I heard this sister of mine groaned. "i said, i want you to drive me home." that's not what she said a while ago though. "i can't." she looked shocked. "eh? when did you learn to reject this pretty sister of yours?" she looked annoyed. "i'm not going home today, Jack" i told this brat. We're both brats, yes. But she's more lovable and lively.

She's friendly to everyone. She loves to go shopping and buy anything her eyes catches. She's too kind but once she's fuming, expect a riot.

"why? do you have a girlfriend already? omg who is she?" she excitedly spoke. The hell? Where did that came from? I was about to defend myself when she cheered again. "ohh myy kuya can't wait to go shopping with her. i bet she's pretty. knowing you, you won't settle for less hahaha" she laughed. Why on earth i thought of Sam? I hate it here.

"you know what? i agree with mom and dad, you're better when you're away." i told her and she just laughed at me and took a sip of her juice. This mouthy sister of mine i swear. "Oh kuya, don't be shy. I'm your sister. You can talk to me anytime." she said and smiled sweetly. "I don't have any girlfriend, Jack. What the hell. I don't have time for that sh't. That will be a distraction for me" i said and saw her rolling her eyes. "Damn you, brother. Man up will ya? Go find yourself a freaking girlfriend so you won't be experiencing drought." Drought? "The hell are you saying, Jack" i hissed. "Old virgin" She said with her bitchy voice. Is that an insult or what? Why is everybody so pressed about my lovelife. "hey, i'm your brother. In case you forgot" "nye! I just want someone to go shopping spree with me." There she goes with her shopping agenda again.

"Just finish your food and we'll leave" i told her and rest my back at my chair.

After she's done eating, i paid the bill using my black card. It has no limit. She grabbed her bag from the table and started walking with me. "Kuya, where are you sleeping tonight?" she asked me. Jackie is the sweetest. We're inseparable when we're younger. She's my closest aside from my friends. "Condo." i answered. "Eh? Why?" "I've been so busy lately, Jack. It will be a hassle if i go home everyday." i explained and she pouted. "Why?" I stopped. We're almost at the door. "I'm just home occasionally. You know I want to bond with you right?" Now she's sulking. "What do you want then?" "Can I stay at your condo?" she acting cutely in front of me. Is this really my sister. I have two spare rooms inside my condo so it's fine. I think she really missed me.

"Fine. Let's go." I saw her faced lightened. "yay!" she beamed and excitedly pulled me. I just chuckled on her childishness. I'll just text my driver to get Jackie's car and send home.

We're about to exit when I heard a famillar name. "Hey, you're spacing out Sam." Sam? Is that my secretary? I turned my head in instant and I was right. Did she heard us or see perhaps? And why do I care. This is not me.

Jack opened the door and we're sucessfully ouside. I just let this annoying sister of mine drag me to the parking. I shook off the thoughts of her inside my head. My sister will assume things again.

Sam's POV

Did I just saw Ion? Right it's him. He's with a girl. Why do I feel affected? I accidentally heard them talking. Is that her girlfriend? I guess so. Knowing my boss won't let anyone even his friends touch what's his so this girl might be very special to him that he would let her stay in his condo.

I saw him chuckle the moment when the girl pulled him outside. He won't let anyone drag him like that. That's so new. I didn't heard anything about him having a sister so i think he's in a relationship with that girl. They're match made in heaven. They both look so elegant and rich. They're every couples dream.

I admit now. I have growing feelings towards my boss but knowing him having a relationship already, i must stop liking him. That would be disrespectful. I need to focus on my job as his secretary. I felt a little sting by my heart. Is this pain again?

I went back into reality when Karylle spoke, "hey, you're spacing out Sam" "O-oh no don't worry. I'm fine." I smiled to assure them "I shouldn't have insisted you to come, Sam. I know you're tired. Sorry, sissy." Anne apologized. "Don't worry haha I'm really fine. I'll be extra busy this days so I think I won't be able to go around with you guys" i left out a chuckle. "It's fine, Vicey. No worries" They both smiled at me.

I'm so lucky to have them as my best friends. They're both with me the times when I needed someond the most. The times when I was cheated on. The times when I just want to quit and leave everything behind. I'm very greatful for having this to bitches here with me.

They sent me home after our dinner. They invited me so they should be the one to pay the bill. They brought me in a fine dining restaurant. I can't afford this sh't. There's no way I'll pay that bill. I'll just spend my money for my mom and house bills instead of paying that eleven thousand amout of charge. We just ordered some light meals and why the hell is that so high cost? Oh well, atleast I have free meals for tonight.

I just told my mom that I already ate outside so she won't extent effort to cook for me. She eats dinner even before I come home that's why.

I just layed on my bed thinking nothing in particular when I remembered Ion having a date earlier. I just met him in a short period of time. How come I fell for him this hard?

My tears unconsiously fell. I hastily wipe them off. This is not so me. I never fell for anyone whom i just met. But Ion is different. He feels home. He's cold and has an intimidating aura but i felt security with his touch. This feeling is so famillar. The feeling I miss the most. I can't explain but it somehow made me feel so happy at the same time gloomy.

I let this heavy feeling of mine slip off my mind and sleep. I need to focus tomorrow and forget this stupid emotion that is distracting me. I promised myself to focus on my goal and I'll do it.
