HIDDEN

Chapter nine

"I can't believe you are up so early today." Nanny said smiling. "That's the magic of Javy's arrival huh?" she winked at me. "u guessed right." I smiled.

I helped nanny to prepare breakfast and I helped clean the house. "Ok Bianca. I think we are fit to welcome a visitor." Nanny said all pleased and satisfied with the work we have done.

"Tut. Javy isn't a visitor." I said disagreeing. "Yes. He is not a visitor but he doesn't stay here with us, so you will have to create a good impression." I leaned against the couch and moved my lips playfully.

'Ding dong.'

The bell rang. Happily and uncontrollably, I ran outside.

"Bianca be careful."

Nanny shouted from inside. I don't need to be careful because I know it's Javy.

As I opened the gate, I remembered the fall we had as a result of our crazy hug at granny's place. A first victim is not a fool. I opened the gate. It's indeed Javy.

"Welcome to my humble abode." I said and gave him a very tight hug. I think this is better instead.

"Bianca, my muscles are still aching from this whole basketball thing. Reduce the grib." He sounded like he's out of breath. He is good at exaggerating things.

"You are such a killjoy." I said leaving him.

"I'm sorry little sis. I'm only kidding. I've missed you very much." He hugged me.

I'm used to Javy this way. "come and greet Nanny". I took his bag and pulled him inside.

"Javy, you are welcome."

"Thanks Nanny Carla. It's been a very long time." Javy gave a winky smile and hugged Nanny.

"We have been waiting for you. Most especially..." Nanny signed at me.

"I just knew. Bianca can't go a journey without missing me." Javy said, shrugging, feeling content, like it's some sort of achievement.

I rolled my eyes.

"Ok Javy, let's go arrange your stuff."

"What about we have breakfast first." Nanny winked, cutting me short.

"That is a great idea, Nanny. Bianca doesn't care about my tummy at all." Javy freed himself off my grib, chuckling and following Nanny Carla.

After breakfast, nanny and Javy and I conversed happily for a long time.

"You see, you are so full of yourself. You were boasting and boasting only to claim the second position." I laughed whole heartedly.

"Bianca, what is wrong with you. Being the second position is not bad either." Nanny said defending Javy.

"Nanny I know, but he was so full of himself. I thought he was even going to exceed the first position." I said and roared into a heartly laughter.

"Nanny Carla, don't pay attention to Bianca. She is not motivative at all. After all, I still qualified. you will soon see me on the tv " Javy prodded my shoulder with his elbow, winking.

"Let's forget about that m word for now. You should learn to stop boasting." I said, still happily laughing.  I just can't stop laughing.I don't know what is wrong with me. But whatever that may be, I wish it is always like this.

We arranged Javy's stuff and ate dinner.

We didn't talk for long after because Javy is so exhausted from fighting for the second position. I'm just happy today.
