EXTRACTION

CHAPTER 1

NISSI'S POV

My phone rings loudly as I grumbled within myself.. With my eyes closed I stretched my hand seeking for my phone..
"Yeap"I sighed triumphantly after grabbing my phone..
Opening my eyes lazily as I shut them back due to the heavy brightness from my phone screen..
The phone stopped ringing and I sighed happily but my joy was short-lived when my phone began to ring again..
I lightened up my room at I sat down straight..
Why would Jayden be calling me so early in the morning??
I angrily rejects his calls as I toss my phone carefully on the dressing table..
Oooops!!!
It's 5.00am...
I climbed off my bed as I entered into my bathroom doing my usual morning thing..

I glance at my phone briefly as I saw 10missed calls from Jayden..
I hissed as I shoved my phone inside my bag before I spraying perfume on myself..
"I won't forget to get a new line today"I spoke to myself..
Sitting down on my dressing chair, I began to apply make up on my face..
Fully satisfied with my make-up I grab my bag and a matching heels..

"Good morning Mom, Good morning Dad"I greeted my parent..
"Good morning to you too"My parent answered chorusly..
"Good morning Paul"I greeted my brother embracing him
"Yoku nemuretara īnoni?? (Hope you slept well??)" My brother Paul asked me..
"Yes I did"I answered pecking him on his cheeks and he chuckled..
And we both sat beside each other..
Paul is my older brother but he speaks Japanese fluently..
Funny enough, my parent cannot speak Japanese as fluent as Paul does, but dad still understand it far better than mom..
"Let's eat"mom spoke up as she sat down on her dinning chair..
"Ano baka wa kyō anata ni denwa shimashita ka? ( Did that idiot call you??) Paul asked me chewing his food hurriedly..
"Yes he did but I rejected all his calls"I answered
"You need to buy a new line, apple"my dad said to me and I nodded my head in agreement..
"I will dad"I added
"Nisei what do you.."mom paused as I glared at her..
"Nisei???"I questioned holding my spoon tightly
"I'm sorry I totally forgot"mom quickly pleaded..
I inhale and exhale a deep breath..
"It's okay ma.. Nisei is my childhood nickname.. I shouldn't let my past ruin my future isn't it dad???"
"Exactly"Dad answered
"That is why I've decided to go hunting today and forge ahead with my life"
"That's the spirit baby girl"Paul chipped in clapping his hands
"What will you be hunting child??"mom asked curiously
"Job hunting.."I replied as I chewed my toasted bread slowly
"And I'll also personally get you a new line"Paul said
"You're the best brother in the whole wide world" I blew him a kiss
"I can't trade you for anything baby girl"Paul added
"I'm happy for you" mom said
"Thanks Mom"
"What caused this sudden change of heart???"Dad asked
"I don't know but I'm glad to be back"I answered shyly
"I think is that mysterious dude you hang out with.."Paul blurted out
"Paul???"I glared at him
"It just came out.."
"Whatever the reason may be, I don't really care.. All I want is for my Apple to be happy"Dad spoke up
"Thanks Dad.. I'm working on it.. I promise"
"That's good"mom added
"Thanks for breakfast"I spoke to Mom and she nodded drinking her coffee
"Em.. I'm also gonna be seeking for an apartment too as soon as I find a job.. I'll be moving out"
"Don't sound like that"mom said looking sad
"This is your home Apple.."dad added
"I know.. But you know I like being independent.. I promise to visit as possible as I can.."
"I hope you do.. You've changed alot.."Dad pointed out
"I think I did"I said with uncertaintity
"We all know you did.. But it's a good kind of change"Paul added and I smacked his back..

I start on my car engine.. immediately my phone began to ring..
I glance at the caller's ID and it's Fabian
"Good morning"his deep husky voice greeted
"Morning, hope you slept well??"
"Of course I did.. What's your plan for today??"he asked me
"Job hunting"I replied smartly
"Good start.. I can help"
"Thanks but I don't need connections to get a job.."
"Yeah!! That's true.. You're a qualified and intelligent lady with brainstorming ideas.. No smart company will turn you down"he said
"I'll take that as a compliment"
"It is a compliment. Nissi"he clarified
I love the way my name sound from his lips.. Nissi
"Thanks.."
"Can we meet up for lunch??"he asked
"Are you asking me out on a date???"I teased him
"Of course it is a date.. Or doesn't it sound like one"he asked me
"Kind of.. I'll text you if I'm free" I replied
"Okay.. Meanwhile I'll make preparation should incase you're free. We really need to discuss some things."He said and I heart beats louder.
"There's nothing left unsaid.."
"I need to know what happened to you. I deserve to know. You promised to tell me"he paused
"I promised to tell you if you find out my last name and my background. Which you haven't"I answered as I chuckled softly
"Ooohhh Nissi!! I can have your background checked without any stress...
I do have contacts...
But since you personally asked for it, I'll personally do the research..
Be ready to open up to me"he warned
"Why are you so interested in knowing my past??"I asked
"Because I feel your pain the moment I saw you drinking alone in the bar.."
"It could be because I lost someone.."
"You did loose someone.. I'm not a kid Nissi.. I know what I saw.."he paused as I tried not to remember those painful moment when he comforted me
"You don't believe in love and I don't either.. You don't want a romantic relationship and I don't.. What's holding you back..? I just wanna protect you. I wanna be your friend" he asked
"I don't need friends but you do.."I pointed out mockingly..
He chuckled at my comment
"Everyone needs a friend.." he replied
"Why are you so bent on becoming my friend??"I asked
"Because I know what it feels like to be betrayed. I know what it feels like to be heartbroken.. I know what it feels like to be alone especially when we desperately needs a shoulder to cry on.. I know what it feels like to be backstabbed.. It's a rough road ahead and you are just beginning while I on the other hand I've been on this path for a long long time"
"I don't want to talk about my past for now.. I want to rebuild this little piece of life one step at a time.."I explained
"Okay.. You need time.. No problem but our date stands"
"Okay!! See ya by noon"
"Okay"he hung up and i sighed..
He always have his way..
Unknowingly I've accepted his lunch date..
I laughed at myself..
