Dangerous Love [ COMPLETED ]

Chapter 4

A few hours passed as we got to know ate Maxine’s family, and i decided it was time to head home since I was starting to feel sleepy, while Frea was still full of energy, chatting with a guy who was Maxine’s cousin.

I glanced at Frea and winked at her; she did the same. We were the only ones who really understood each other.

“Seah, are you tired, ija?” Dad asked, noticing how I was starting to drag.

“A little, Dad,” I replied.

I checked my wristwatch and realized it was already 11 PM. No wonder I was feeling sleepy—it was getting late. But it seemed like Dad and Tito still had no intention of heading home since they were still drinking.

I wasn’t really used to sleeping in someone else’s house, so I decided to let them know that I’d be heading home early since I was already exhausted.

“Dad, I think I’ll head home now. I’m really feeling sleepy,” I told him.

“Why? Aren’t you going to sleep in Ate Maxine’s room?” Tito offered.

“Ah, I’m not really used to sleeping in other people’s houses. I can’t really sleep well,” I explained.

“Oh, I see, ija,” Tito said, nodding understandingly.

I just smiled at him and turned to Dad to say my goodbyes.

“Hi, Clark, we’re heading home now. It was nice meeting you all. Maybe next time,” I said as I waved to Maxine’s relatives.

“Alright, Seah, take care,” he replied.

“Bye, Clark. My friend’s really sleepy, so we’re heading home,” Frea chimed in with a grin.

We were outside Maxine’s house, waiting for the taxi we had booked. We didn’t want to bother Dad and Kuya—they were still in the middle of their celebration inside—and besides, Frea and I were independent enough to get home on our own.

A taxi pulled up in front of us, and when I checked the plate number, it was the one we had been waiting for. Frea and I hopped in and I gave the driver our location.

The ride was about half an hour, so I decided to close my eyes for a bit. Frea was with me, so it was fine if I took a nap for a while.

When we finally got home, most of the maids were already asleep. Frea and I headed upstairs and went straight to my room, both of us exhausted and ready to crash.

“Seah, I’ll sleep first,” Frea said, already crawling into bed.

“Okay,” I replied.

I decided to go through my evening routine before bed. I couldn’t skip it, of course. Once I was done, I got myself ready to sleep. It was already 12 AM when I checked my phone.

After.........2 weeks

The days flew by, and all Frea and I did was shop and hang out. With only one week left before classes started again, I couldn’t help but wonder if we should just enroll at Mertyle Academy. I was staring blankly at the bathroom mirror, drying my hair after my shower.

“Ma’am Seah, lunch is ready,” Ate Martha called out.

“Okay... Ate, I’ll be downstairs. Please tell Dad I’ll join them,” I replied.

I stepped out of my room and saw Dad, my brother, and Ate Maxine already waiting for me to start lunch. I hadn’t left my room this morning.

“Seah, hurry up! You’re walking like you’re on the moon,” my brother yelled at me.
