Aaahh! I immediately sat up to bed when I woke up because of that crazy dream again! Why can't I forget that guy's face and-- and-- aahh! Why can't I forget that stupid kiss!

How can you forget if that's your first kiss?

My thoughts talked to me. I'm beginning to go crazy!

It's been two days since that happened. Pero hanggang ngayon binabagabag parin ako ng mga thoughts ko. Nakakainis ang lalaking yun.

After that unexpected kiss, sa gulat ko ay bigla ko siyang naitulak sa pond. Yes I literally pushed him there at hindi ko naman yun sinasadya. And because of that nagawa kong tumakas sakanya.

Ugh. If everyone knew what I did I'll probably be grilled next time. Isipin ko palang ay nanginginig na ako sa takot.

Imagine ang isa sa possible heir ng isa sa pinaka tanyag at mayamang pamilya ang sinaktan ko at hinulog sa pond! Baka bukas lang hindi na ako sinagan ng araw.

But it was his fault! It was considered as a sexual abuse kaya pinrotektahan ko lang ang sarili ko. Hmm. Tama yon.

I felt a bit startled nang may kumatok sa pintuan. It was Bethany. She greeted me a good morning as she went to the giant window near me. She pulled the rope at the side and the curtains opened up as my whole room lit up by the sunlight.

My room is painted in pastel pink color. It is spacious but there's only one tiny closet here aside from my walk in closet of course. A beside table, a medium sized couch, a table mirror and my pink-white laced canopy bed. Wala masyadong kagamitan ang kwarto, I just wanted it simple.

Beth then assisted me to get ready for breakfast along side with the other maids who made up my bed and had ready a warm bath for me. It's really nice to live like this I know. But still I prefer to live in a simple cottage at a countryside. Enjoying the view of the sea or a valley. Simple and no complications. Can that be possible?

I took a bath and changed my clothes into my favorite plaid cotton classic long skirt.

When I went downstairs nagtaka ako dahil napaka tahimik nanaman ng mansion. Nasan sina papa, kuya at Gray?

I asked the maids that are currently cleaning the receiving area.

"You're father went away early Miss" sagot ng isa sakin at tumigil panandalian sa paglilinis.

"How about my brother?" I asked again and someone behind me unexpectedly answered.

"Missing me already sister?" he said and laughed. I turned around to face him only to see his boyish playful grin with a white envelope in his hands. He waved the envelope upward and fanned it as if wanting me to get curious where did he get that.

And he's right. I did became curious nang makita kong may red seal iyon.

He took my curious expression as a cue and humored me. "We've got a job to do for father" he said. "In his behalf he asked us to the attend his friend's lunchdate. Good thing you're already set" tingin nya sa damit ko at pimasadahan ako ng pa ako mula ulo hanggang paa.
