Loving Mr. Casanova

Chapter XI

I was awoken by the loud ringing of my phone, I groaned when I saw that an unsaved number was calling me, to my annoyance I ended the call, but after five minutes my phone began to ring again, so I ended it again, but right after I ended the caller, called once again, so I picked my phone answered it,  "Who the hell is this, why are you calling me at.. 3 am in the morning?" Irritation can be heard in my voice as I asked the caller. "Is that how you greet the person who saw and returned your zither?" the caller said over the phone. My drowsiness and annoyance quickly faded when I heard him,  why would he call this early? Does he want something? Is he my stalker or something? and why does he sound so proud? Do I know him? More questions started to form and my mind began to drift thinking of possible scenarios then I heard him speak again "Don't overthink things Ms. Galvero I'm just a good person who returns the things that aren't mine," 

What does he want? Why is he being a creeper? Does he think this made him more popular?? I thought as these questions appeared one after another, I sighed and asked " What the hell do you want??" And before he can even talk I cut him off and said threateningly "And you better have a good explanation for disturbing my sleep or I will hunt you down, and I will be more than happy to dissect that pretty body of yours and feed your intestines to the fishes,"

"Geez!! You really are one scary lady! I just wanted to call you, because I was intrigued when I saw your zither," he said rather plainly. "This doesn't seem to fit the bill, you better spill the thing I wanted to hear or I will track your sorry little ass, wherever you are in this damned planet and by that time you wish that you're better dead than me catching you, " I said coldly.

"You are one ruthless lady! Can't you be more ladylike?" He said, "Oh! Stop beating around the bush already, and tell me the why the fuck did you call me, or do you really want me to hunt your fucking ass?" I said answered back.

"Fine!! I'll tell you, geez that old geezer should pay me a lot for this!" He muttered through the phone, Old geezer?? Did he mean, Grandpa Smith? As far as I remember only those who Grandpa trusted the most calls him that. Well not directly in his face though; I said to myself.
"Tell me, who is this old geezer you're talking about?" I asked the coldness of my voice still there.

"Haist! You really do live up to your name, Ms. Jean Galvero! Such a cold and ruthless young lady, with your sharp tongue you left quite a reputation before you leave. And to answer your question I was sent here by Mr. Hunter William A. Smith your friend Lady Tiffany is going back here in the Philippines and Mr. Smith assigned me to contact you to help me. I'll tell all the relevant information in person, and someone might jack into our call and get some relevant information to use against Mr. Smith and Lady Tiffany " he said

I was shocked when I heard him, who could threaten Tiffany, with Grandpa Smith around? Did something major happen? No that can't be, because if something major does happen, we will already know about it! I said to myself, I stood up and walk to the window, and look up into the sky, gazing at the full moon the brings light into the darkness. Tiffany, what the hell happened, are you alright? I further asked myself.

"Ok! I got it, send me where and when we will meet up, I'll be there!" I said to him, "Of course, I won't lie to you Ms. Jean or Mr. Smith will surely kill me" he said. "Oh! You better pray to your lucky start that you ain't lying to me because Grandpa Smith will only be one your problems" I said.

"Yes, but of course Ms. Jean, I'll hang up Good night!" He said and the call ended right away. I was about to go back to bed when I saw someone outside the gate, who the hell is this, I asked myself, I don't know if he can see me, but with the curtains closed, and lights off I'll doubt that he can see me. You won't get away stalking outside my house, I turned around and went to my cabinet to grab my bow and arrow. I'll try to shoot this fucker! But when I look again, he was gone.

"Fuck, he got away!" I said in annoyance! Is that the one who called me? or is he someone else? What's all with these weird shenanigans happening?? I better call Angel and the rest, might as well to tell it to my parents so they can talk to my Aunt's and Uncles. I dismissed any more thoughts for now and went back to sleep.

........

When I woke up again it's already 9 am, luckily my class won't start until 12 pm, so I won't need to hurry. I stood up in my bed begrudgingly and grabbed my phone, and started to pull myself to the bathroom to start my morning routine. I played Pentagon's "Humph" then I started to take a bath, it took longer than expected because I keep dancing and singing to the song that is being currently played. I was about to wear my clothes when my phone started to ring when I looked at the familiar unsaved number I sighed; so it wasn't a dream I mumbled to myself. I went to my closet first before answering my phone and since it's ringing like crazy I'm sure he will wait for me to answer it.  After getting a pair of black jeans and a shirt, I answered the phone, "How may I help you today?" I asked. 

"Oh! look so you're not that I'll temper after all" he said chuckling over the phone "Well I do try to be more civil because this concerns Tiff and Grandpa Smith, or do you want to experience how I talk to my preys before I kill them?"  I asked him coldly. "I would like my life safe so do please be civil Ms. Jean," he answered, there was a hint of nervousness in his voice but I don't know whether is it because of my threat or because of another reason, nevertheless I should be still on guard against anything. "It seems that your brain is working well, that aside why did you call?" I asked him, will we be meeting today? will he kidnap me? Is he telling the truth? Does he have any other motives? 

"You don't really like to beat around the bush do you, to answer your question. Yes, we will be meeting today at your school's garden after your class" he told me. But I was a little bit lost when he said we will meet at school, does that mean, he is either one of the school staff or maybe one of the students. What does he intend to do? Either way, we need to meet because I want to know whether Grandpa Smith and Tiff, are safe. If he did lie, I can just kill him or better yet I can torture him so he can answer my questions.

"OK! You can text or call me, if we are about to meet," I said "I'll call again when it's time. Have Good Day Ms. Jean" he said then he immediately ended the call. I better tell it to my parents to make the right preparations just in case something bad might arise. It's better safe than sorry especially we don't know who we are against.

I gathered my things, and I was thinking about whether I would bring my Zither because I can hide my knives there. After deliberating a few more minutes I decided to bring it just to be on the safe side. I was surprised to see my parents in the dining eating, it's already 10 am, shouldn't they be at work. "Oh! Dear there you are! Good Morning!" my mother greeted me.

"Good Morning Ma, Good Morning Pa! I greeted them then I took my seat, while taking my food I asked them "Oh, Yeah! Shouldn't you be both at the company by now? Don't you both have work today?" 

"Well, we are about to go when one of our guards told us that they spotted a mysterious man standing outside earlier at 3 am," Dada said. I was shocked so the guards did notice him earlier this morning; while eating breakfast I told my parents everything, he told me about and that we will meet later after school. "We will contact your Aunts and Uncles so they could also prepare since we don't know his real motives, he might be a spy and he was brought here to finish us. It's better to prepare for the worst than blindly fighting the unknown." Dada said, my mother and I both agreed. 

We might suffer in the end, if we didn't prepare accordingly and that is something we like to prevent. And if Grandpa Smith and Tiff really do need our help, we can act properly and avoid any unnecessary mistakes that could be fatal. Efficiency and safety are always our priority prior to this kind of thing. After making the necessary plans and precautions, I bid my parents goodbye and went to school.
