The Return (De Laurel Trilogy #1)

02

I woke up with my head pounding. Geez! Didn't know I was that drunk last night. I jolted up immediately when I notice that I'm not in my own room. Instead, I was in a very masculine one. What happened last night? I get my phone which I found in the bedside table along with a tablet of aspirin, a glass of water, and a piece of handwritten letter. I first checked the letter where I find an absolutely good penmanship.

To the girl that fainted,
You passed out absolutely drunk last night so, I figured you might need this.

-A. J. K.

Who the hell is A. J. K.? You know what? I don't really care right now, I'll just focus on my throbbing head. I drink the aspirin and flush it out with the water beside it. After drinking the aspirin, I checked my phone and I find missed calls and messages flood my notifications. I first checked of Instagram family group chat where I find all my cousins and family members all worried. Oops.

oliversoren: @miseleneous Where are you?!

dnvrgnzls: @miseleneous Where are you?

killianrg: @miseleneous What is happening there?

olendelaurel: @miseleneous Lil' sis what's happening? What's with all this messages? You better answer young lady! You better thank that I'm in Spain right now or else you're in big trouble right now!

God! Just looking at Olen's text you know that he's already lividly mad. You see, Olen is our oldest brother he is in Spain right now because he wanted a getaway from whatever.

I also panicked when almost all my cousins mentioned me in the group chat and say that I'm in big trouble or they ask what's happening.

I also got tons of direct messages from Lev.

From: My womb housemate

Olivia Selene Fernandez De Laurel! Where are you!

From: My womb housemate

Nic said you were going to the bathroom. You're not there!

From: My womb housemate

Liv! Answer your phone!

"I'm in deep trouble. How would I explain my situation to my brothers and cousins?!" I muttered.

Realizing again that I'm not in my own room, I take all my stuff and exit the room. I looked around and see that there's a staircase leading downstairs. As I took the stairs, I find a man probably my age or a few years older that me, cooking.

"I see that you're awake." He said while cooking.

CABUEÑAS

Just how did he notice my presence that fast?! I wasn't even that noisy!

"Here, you should eat," He puts a plate with an English breakfast on it on the table behind him.

I hesitatingly went to sit in the chair in front of the plate before talking.
