I am wearing a plain white V necked shirt plus fitted jeans and flat doll shoesㅡmy casual or rather, usual wear.
I head to my bathroom to comb my hair and put some powder on my face. After that, I look for my cologne and I'm done.
Many have suggested that I should atleast put make up, eyeliner and lipstick or lip gloss, or whatever on my face, but I just don't consider them. I am satisfied of how I look.
Besides, I have no reason to fix myself. My life is a mess since he left me.
Someone knocked my door, I don't need to guess who is it.
I get my bag and scurry through the door. "Ready?" Stephen asked.
I nod as my answer.
When I turn to head to the car, Dina is happily waving at me. Help me. I prayed silently.
I surely know that I have to deal with this young lady. And it's not an easy task. She knows how to beg for what she wants.
Stephen opens the car for me. "Here." Dina, then, tap the seat beside her. I shrug.
"I missed you, Athena!" Dina hugged me so tight that I can hardly breathe.
"Hey, Dina! Stop that, will you? You promised me." Stephen scolds.
His sister pouted and made a face. "Fine."
"It's okay." I whisper and nod at him.
"See?" Dina proudly says. "She missed me too." She stucked her tongue to her brother like a child and laugh mockingly while he, on the other hand, shakes his head at his sister's behavior and smiles at me.
WE arrived at an exclusive restaurant. Crap! I do not belong here! I gave Stephen a nervous look.
"It's okay. You look simple and pretty." He said.
"Of course! Athena is the most beautiful girl in the world! Right, Athena?" Dina jolly said then cling on my arm.
Jeez! How old is she again? Gosh, she's fifteen and she still acts like a six-year-old child.
She's so playful and she loves to tease her brother, as what I can clearly see.
"I know." was Stephen's answer. "Let's go?" He playfully offered his left arm.
I hissed. "I can walk on my own." I said.
Once again, Dina stuck her tongue to her brother because of that.
I don't know if it's really embarrassing on his part, but he perfectly know I don't do that. I just don't. He must foresee that and didn't asked anymore.
