Chapter 5

Falling

“Good morning ma’am Irene, breakfast is already served” Joy smiled and bowed as soon as I get out of my room

"Good morning Joy" I smiled as a greeting then silently follow her leading the way to the mansion’s kitchen.

She opened the double doors and my eyes immediately went to the corner center of the long table

My smile disappeared when I caught that empty seat beside Leo who’s sipping his cup of coffee. So she’s not here? Already?

“Good morning Irene, how’s your sleep?” Leo smiled

I seated on my usual seat in front of him “Fine, where’s your sister this early in the morning? Already in the hotel?”

He put his cup of coffee down and flashed a wide smirk “Why? You lonely Lisa is not around to join you in breakfast? Oh man I will tell Lisa about this Irene”

I heavenly rolled my eyes and slice the pancake on my plate, you know Leo has this professional ability to ruin my mood every morning

“I am just asking, what’s wrong with that?”

“Nothing, well she’s already in the hotel as you expected”

“She didn’t mind having breakfast?”

“Nah she said she’ll have a breakfast there. Don’t worry about my mighty sister Irene, she can take care of herself” Leo suppressed a loud chuckle

I just ignore him and heave a relief sigh. I am actually relived that she’s not here, after that kiss that we shared yesterday I’m actually starting to get awkward whenever she’s around. I didn’t even join them with Leo on the dinner after, I don’t know why I just felt like I don't want to see her because my heart is starting to race when she's around me

No I can’t feel that way towards her, I can’t get attach. I can’t fall in lo-

“Kidding, she’s actually sick Irene. She’s bed ridden”

I stopped on eating and my eyes went wide “What?”

“Yes, I am just kidding earlier. She’s sick, she got fever for aggressively staying in that heavy rain. She can’t join us for breakfast and oh don’t give me that look, it’s not your-

I stand up from sitting “Where is she then?”

No Jennie, you are not worried.

Let me repeat, YOU ARE NOT

“In her room, I ask the maids to bring her a breakfast in bed actually. You can-

“I know, I will. Where’s the maid you ordered?” I asked Leo as I hastily went to the maid busy putting some soup, glass of water and tablets of medicines in tray

I heard Leo laugh on his seat but I ignored him and went to the maid to carry the tray

“Ma’am you’re still eating. I can do it”

“No let me” I said and snatch the tray she’s carrying.

I didn’t say anything anymore and hurriedly went upstairs to Lisa’s room. I only stopped when the realization hit me when I was about to open her door.

“Wait, what am I doing here?”

Geez Jennie, you sure are worried about her!

I scratch my nape and tilt my head to the side as I am trying to understand what the hell I am doing, stopping on eating my delicious breakfast just to bring this breakfast to Lisa? Really? Is this because of my first kiss yesterday?
