Love to be Loved

L.A (Chapter 4)

The day has come. I am here waiting for boarding. Kuya was not thrilled to know na aalis ako at first but after explaining I am happy na sinuportahan niya pa rin ako. He just made me promised na umuwi dito taon taon. I don't think it's a problem naman. Natawagan ko na rin yung cousin ko na si Jenny and she told me that I am very welcome to stay in her house. She is the secretary of the well-known Connor Naples. I just hope na Jenny won't invite me to attend parties 'coz I don't think I am capable of taking care of myself when it comes to drinking. But still hoping life would take easy one me this time.

After 15 hours of travelling nakarating na rin at hello California na ako. Nasa isang tabi ako while waiting for my dear cousin to fetch me, medyo ma lelate lang daw siya kasi nasa beast mode daw si Connor. Always naman yan eh, she always complain to me about her job pero hindi niya naman magawang mag resign masyado daw malaki ang sweldo niya para sa isang normal na secretary to think na graduate ng education ang pinsan kong ito.

After 30 mins of waiting....

"Elizabeth Cortez!!!! oh my gush! Ikaw na ba yan cous?! she squealed giving me a squash hug.

"Can't breath" trying to gap for air.

"Hihihih. Sorry cous I'm late, beast mode si Connor eh. Nakaka stress talaga yang ugok na yan. Naku kung hindi lang malaki ang sweldo ko sa kanya matagal ko na yang iniwan." Naghihimatok na sumbong ng pinsan ko. As if I care. He is known as the most tempered guy in Hollywood.

"You don't have a choice naman cous, magpaka practical ka na lng nga" I smiled bitterly.

"yeah right. let's get you moving. Nasan na ang iba mong gamit? "

"That's the only luggage I have" I smiled. I really don't need to bring those bulky bags, as if naman wala akong mabibilhan ng gamit dito.

"Rich Kid" pairap na sambit ni Jenny.

"Halika na nga. Baka nakalimutan mo galing ako ng ibang time zone I really need to rest"

"asa ka pa na mkapag rest ka, jet lag nga dba? Irest mo na lang ang puso mo cous"

I smiled bitterly. "Tama cous, lie low muna tayo sa puso nay an.

"Oh yeah"Is all she can say.

The ride from the airport to her house took us almost an hour, she dropped by the market para dw bumili ng shampoo at necessities sa bahay niya. She highlighted that she is always not home due to her schedule. Looks like I am gonna be alone all the time in her house. No tour guide. Great exploring Las Angeles all by myself. Cool.

"So this would be your room cous" sabay turo ng isang pinto malapit sa entrance ng pinto sa bahy

"ahm . cous hindi kaya ako ang unang pasukin ng magnanakaw dito. The house is big, dalawang floors ito. Tatlong rooms sa ibabaw at dalawa sa ilalim and to think ditto pa ako sa malapit ng entrance inilagay ng pinsan ko

"cous, you should be privileged na diyan ang kuwarto mo, eh yan ang master bedroom eh"

"master bedroom? Are you mocking me cous?" Naloloka na yata to ang pinsan ko.

But my mind changed after I opened the door to the room gad it is huge and very manly? Kulay gray halos lahat ng gamit. The window is crystal covering the right wall of the rrom which is facing the front lawn of the house. May plasma tv, and on the left was the comfort room with a walk in closet connecting on it and as I opend the other door beside the cr, it was connected into a study room. Books lots and lots of books. I would really to love to stay here all day just to read books.
