Butterflies~

I slowly opened my eyes as warm rays from the sun striked my face. Maybe I forgot to move the curtain last night. Well, I'm already so exhausted yesterday, that I doze off to sleep immediately.

I sat on my bed, stretched my arms, then stood up to do my morning routines. I was just wearing a pajama and over-sized t-shirt when I went out of my room.

"Good morning, Ms. Clardia." bati sa'kin ni Mr. Lincoln na naabutan kong nakatayo sa hallway.

"Morning, Mr. Lincoln. What are doing here?" malumanay na tanong ko sa kan'ya. Wala pa kasi akong energy, kakagising ko lang.

"I'm waiting for Prince to wake up, Ms. Clardia. I needed him to sign an important document." tugon niya.

"Why don't you knock on his room? Why just stand there?"

"Prince don't like anyone interrupting his sleep no matter how urgent it was. A heavy consequence will be given once you dare to."

"Wait, what time is it now?"

"It's already eight o'clock, Ms. Clardia."

Same pala kami ni Xavier. Tanghali na rin ako magising at ayoko rin nang may gumigising sa'kin mula sa pagkakahimbing ko. Madalas nasisipa ko talaga yung mga taong nang iistorbo.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Lincoln. Why don't you just wait for him downstairs? I'm sure that brat is still snoring."

"Who's snoring?"

My shoulders jerked up when, I heard the voice of the brat I'm referring to. I shifted my gaze at him and his new showered look again welcomed my sight.

Bakit ba tuwing makikita ko itong lalaki 'to ay palagi na lang bagong ligo?

"Ahhh... what I mean is... my parents told me that I am a brat and I snore loudly every night. I was just proudly sharing it to Mr. Lincoln." I plastered a forced smile on my face.

Walang nabago sa itsura ng mukha niya. Parang walang kainte-interes at kasaysay-saysay siyang nakatingin sa akin. Sa totoo lang ay nagmukhang akong blangkong pader sa paningin niya.

Hindi pinansin ni Xavier ang palusot ko at dire-diretsong naglakad patungo sa gawi ni Mr. Lincoln. Anyway, he is wearing a royal blue coat with golden embroideries on it and diamond-like buttons.

Grabe pormang-porma agad, ang aga-aga. Talagang kinulang lang siya sa blower kaya halatang basa pa ang buhok.

"Study." maikling sabi ni Xavier kay Mr. Lincoln na agad sumunod sa likuran niya.

Nakita ko silang pumasok sa isang pintuan ilang hakbang lang ang layo sa kuwarto ko. So, nasa third floor lang din pala ang sinasabi niyang study.

Pumunta na rin akong hagdanan at bumaba patungong ground floor. Ask me where I will head to? Of course, in the dining area! I want a hot milk and cookies! Also, a fried rice with eggs and bacons! And as well as a chocolate cake for breakfast! Sorry, I really love sweets.

Pagkababa ko pa lang ng hagdan, salubong na sa'kin ang nakakapanira ng araw na mukha ni Lieutenant Neud. Tumingin ito sa 'kin na parang naalibadbaran.

"I thought you're a flirty woman, but you just proved me that you're an unkept woman likewise." pang-huhusga ni Sore eyes.

"I thought you're a bastard Lieutenant, but you just showed right now how ugly you are of a Liuetenant." pagganti ko sa kaniya.

At dahil pikon si Sore eyes, umakma siyang bubunot ng baril mula sa tagiliran niya. I prepared myself by pointing two fingers on my temple.
