Fervid Desire (Good Pleasure Series #2)

Kabanata 36

Kabanata 36

After that night, I prepared myself for tomorrow. I have to be early— not because I was going to be late but I really want to get out of this country for now. Last night, I hadn't had a soundly slumber because of the fiasco I was facing of. I have to be stout, this wasn't the end of everything. I have my Family, I cooed myself to just stop me from contemplating things.

Quean, that was the epithet of Blair Camisone Victoria. All night, that was I had ever thought. But even how I tried to repel Zach from my mind, all my trying was futile, I always had him in my mind. The dread in the pit of my stomach was incessant, it did not give me any time to close my eyes without thinking about my image to all people around me. The beats of my heart was stentorian, I can almost hear all the wallops of my heart against my chest.

As I extruded myself from my trace, I heaved a sigh as I looked at myself on the life-sized mirror in my bathroom. I was now wearing a black hoodie and jeans. It was already five in the morning but all the people in the house were awake. Mom and Dad were in the living area with Papa whilst ate Carmi, Lilia and Kia were in my room. I admit, the thought of them being away from me made me antsy.

New York was fine thought. But then, I hadn't had any relative or friends there. But I have to go where no one will know or ever suspect a place where I was staying. I want a normal life for a while, not for a lifetime but at least, for peace. Maybe, I could find the happiness I was yearning a long time ago.

All my accounts on any social media sites had been deactivated. I don't need any of it anyway, but if I have to, then I can make a new. Some people now were toxic and poisonous, instead of giving enough time to solve the issues in the economical and political problems they chose to problem the issue of the ordinary people around them— gossiping like it was the best thing to do and it could help mother earth to regain its normal form.

I emerged out of the room and saw Lilia, Kia, and ate Carmi just on my bed. When they noticed my presence, they craned their necks and glimpsed at me. I descried into their eyes the melancholy. Well, I know my friends wanted me to dissuade not to do what I had said to do but I was adamant. For a while, I have to lodge to where I can feel peacefulness and tranquility and for now, I have to tell that that place was not here in the Philippines.

"Are you ready?" Ate Carmi asked and lunged to me.

I nodded, "Yes,"

"Take care there. Dad already bought a house for you."

"House— what?!"

She nodded, "Yes. Don't worry, Dad and Mr. Alighieri did not quibble about this thing."

Sighing, I just took my luggage and hauled it out of my room. Last night, before I got asleep, they informed me that the video was already deleted in any web sites but they were still tracing the person behind all these issues. I want them to just let this slip because I wanted a life without any problems again. But then, my Fathers were determined to know who was it. I have something on my head that I could not spill but I don't want them know. Even how the spleen reigned over me, the affection I have with him was still in here.

We ambled to where my Parents were. As Papa looked up and saw me, he heaved a sigh and slightly shook his head. He wasn't able to be with me in New York for days because he has a very important meeting with an European investors. I know it was a serious matter to the company so when he told me that he'll be with me in New York, I immediately reprobated it. I am of age, I can handle myself if any unexpected circumstances rise.

Mom on the other hand can't also be with me. She has to take care of Daddy for a mean time especially that Dad was going to face the medias about the issue of our family. Before, I despaired for the relationship of my Parents— just that, it was so hard to bind them together. Well, if I were on their shoes, I think it was such an awkward scenario.
