Paroxysm

sudden outburst of emotion

I came up with five choices. One, I'll run out of my hiding place and pretend to sleep the rest of the day, which is not unusual. Two, run away from home and never come back ever again. Three, lock myself in my room until he goes back to France. Four, kill myself or let Luca do it. Five, kill freaking Lewis, which is impossible.

I just don't understand. Why does he have to come home now? He never did for the past four years.

All of my options make little sense. I'm positive that even the universe knows that. How? 'Cause out of a sudden, I hear the squeaking of a rat somewhere inside the cabinet. Everyone that knows me knows that I hate rats. So what happened next? I loudly jump out of the hiding, shocking my uncle, Brayden and Law, who is standing silently at the corner. What's worst? I am still in my pajamas and my hair's all over the place. Everyone's staring at my childish figure on the floor as I try to hide my embarrassed face

"Good morning, guys!" I say innocently as I slowly stand up. As I do, I quickly fix myself, making sure despite being in my sleepwear, I still look presentable.

"Sweetie, I thought you were still asleep?" Uncle Philip asks, still in shock at what just happened. He stands beside a frozen Brayden, who's staring straight at me as if he just remembered I exist.

"What were you doing inside the cabinet, Irene?" Law has the courage to ask loudly, making me a little more flushed.

"Uh... Uhmmm..." I stutter as I thought of an excuse. Suddenly, Audrey comes inside the room, holding a bouquet of freshly picked flowers from the garden.

"Uhhh... I was playing hide-and-seek with Audrey! Yes, I did that." I say as if in a hurry. With that, I was cursing myself in my head for being such a terrible liar.

"We were?" Audrey asks loudly for everyone to hear. God help me!

I thought about being caught red-handed stalking Brayden (I'm not saying I was, cause I wasn't.) Was the worst thing that could happen that day, but I was wrong.

Without warning, the rat I heard squeaking a while ago came out running. I leap as I closed my eyes and held onto the next thing beside me.

"Ahhhhh! There's a rat. Oh, my goodness! There's a hella rat!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

I thought, I will hear everyone shuffling and saying curses and orders here and there, but then, I realized something's strange. Why does it feel like I am being carried by someone's arms?

I slowly open my eyes and realize I just mess up my life, big time.

"uhh..." Brayden awkwardly stuttered as he was holding me, bridal style.

I move away from him in an instant. I look at everyone who are staring at us. I can feel my face getting red. With that, I run out of the room hurriedly, but not before accidentally hearing what our butler mumbles to himself.

"A match made in heaven, coming up!"
