I woke up as early as possible the next day but still got beaten up by her own body clock. My lazy movements on the couch caught her attention. She was in front of her dresser and fixing herself while staring at her mirror, surrounded by lights.
I hastily looked at my wristwatch and furrowed my brows.
"You're early. Are you going somewhere?" - I asked almost lowly since I'm still not in the mood to talk.
She glanced my way for a few seconds before going back on whatever she was doing to her face.
"You slept so fast last night that you didn't hear my family's phone call. They want us to pay a visit to them since I'm on a break," - she informed, using her gentle tone.
I stood up, put my hands inside my pockets, and raised my brow.
"Us? Baka ikaw lang. I can perfectly remember how your relatives snobbed me before."
Her breathing becomes heavy from how her chest moves while she stares at me through her mirror.
"We'll be going to one of my family's haciendas. I already told them I'd bring you, so I think it's better if you go and pack some stuff," - she said, smiling a little, completely changing the topic.
My jaw clenched, and without a word, I left her room and went to my own, feeling stupid for following her.
Damn it! Why can't I just remember so I would know how to act around her and her family?
Tapos na ako maligo at mag impake ng ilang piraso ng damit at ng iba ko pang kailangan sa katawan bago ko narinig ang marahan na pagkatok sa pinto ng kwarto ko.
"What?" - tanong ko kay Butler Joe.
"Good morning, ma'am. Nasabi po ng misis nyo na paalis kayo kaya nag handa kami ng breakfast na masarap para hindi kayo ma gutom sa byahe."
"Just send my breakfast here. Ayaw ko bumaba."
Hindi ko na sya inantay pa na magsalita at sinarado ko na ulit ang pinto. Bumalik ako sa kama at humilata habang hawak ang phone ko.
A few minutes have passed, and I'm growing a little bit impatient. My stomach is not even helping at all.
What the hell do I want?
Food!
Yeah, I want to eat.
Bumalikwas ako ng bangon at nagtungo sa pinto. Desidido ng bumaba sana pero napahinto ako dahil pag bukas ko ng pinto ay hindi si Butler Joe ang nabungaran ko.
It's Cassiopiea with her blank expression.
"Are you really not going down to eat?"
"What time tayo aalis?" - tanong ko dito at sinadyang hindi pansinin ang tanong nya.
She shut her eyes for a moment and opened them again while sighing.
"After breakfast."
I nod my head and go back to my room to get my bags. She was still at the door when I came back and was obviously waiting for me.
"You're weird," - I stated as a matter of fact, and I closed the door behind me.
She tsks and walks away gracefully, but I just hold back my laughter. I gave my bags to one of my bodyguards and instructed him to put them in a car we'd be using later.
We settled down in the dining hall and ate in peace. When I say peace, it's literally like no one is talking and only the sound of utensils can be heard.
