"Roger, stop the car." He said while stopping himself from exploding I got alerted to what he said. He is mean!
The driver followed him and that Roger stops the car in the left side of the road, so that we won’ make a traffic in the middle.
"Get. Out." He said while gritting his teeth at the same time, he open his eyes.
I swallowed hard to his reaction.
Is he mad?
I was kidding. Why he is too serious in his life? Don’t he know the word joke? He must a stupid. Stupid man with a lot of money.
His dark brown eyes constructed in annoyance to me.
“I w-was j-joking…” I said nervously. I even showed him a peace sign.
.
"Roger." He called his driver in getting teeth. His breath become heavier. That Roger name get out of the car and open the door besides me. He held my arm to drop me from this place but I hel this man arm.
“No!” I scream of the top of my lungs as I close my eyes deeply. I held this cold man arm more tighter. “Brother no!” I hysterical.
"Can you please lower the fuvk your voice." The cold man said irritatedly.
“Sir! Don’t drop me here! Please!” I beg, “I’ll behave myself and just don’t drop me here!” I got teary eye, “drop me to a near hotel just-j-just don’t drop me here.” I cried without a tear.
Roger pulled me with force but he release me when his phone rang.
I grab the chance when brother Roger answers the caller. I hurriedly get inside the car and sit in that cold man laps and I encircle my two hands in his neck, it is like I am hugging him.
He stilled when Isit in his lap. He looks at me with a disbelief in his face. He looks shocks but he return to his serious expression.
"Sir, the investor is waiting for you at Hotel Del Rosario. They arrived at the hotel by now."
"Tell them we're on our way."
"Yes, sir!" Rodger close the door besides me and get back to the driver seat.
Huh, they forget about me?
I smiled mischievously. I am so brainy. They really forget about.
We get in a five star hotel so fast.
That cold man suddenly push me and my forehead bumped in the door of the car and the two left me.
He is so mean!
He is good looking with a black attitude! Hmmp! I prefer those not ugly at least they love me with their heart.
If he is my boyfriend I’m gonna break up with him! He doesn’t have manner and he is not gentleman!
I got bored waiting inside the car that’s why I decide to get out and I smelled the polluted air in the city. I sat in the entrance of the hotel where there is stairs and I look around as I put my one hands under my chin.
I can’t call my friends to ask for help and the two me left me here
I tried to borrow a phone to strangers but they didn’t lent me and someone even threatened me.
It's already past seven in the evening and I am still here waiting patiently to them. My butt is hurting and I feel so bored. My feet are aching too.
I haven’t eaten lunch, I feel so hungry. Hungry? Grab a sneakers.
I wanna take a bath and rest.
I really smell like sun.
When I notice them going i my direction I hurriedly get in the car again so they won’t left me here. Knowing that cold man, he have icy heart. He is showing no mercy.
I don’t know if they notice but they didn’t talk and we are so silently in the whole ride. That icy cold man close his eyes deeply. He looks worn out and tired.
What they did inside the hotel? I close my mouth in my thought? Did they do a different inside the hotel? Oh my!
They stop in a condominium. This building is not that high and it looks simple in the inside. I bumped in his back when he stops from walking.
"Are you following me?" He asked coldly and he raise his eyebrow at me.
"Are you blind? I had been following you.” I rolled my eyes at him.
He sighed as if he is restraining himself
“Ay! Can I stay with you? Even just for today?”
"No. Get lost! Stop following me!" He said hardly and continue to walk fastly. He had long legs. I can’t follow his steps.
Because I am kind I didn’t listen to him instead I chase him. I tug his coat and get his attention.
“Please,” I beg while following him, “just for today and besides I don’t have place to stay at this hour plus I don’t have money. You don’t want me to borrow your phone for me to call my friend and you also don’t want to stay me at your place.” I also followed him in the elevator.
He deeply sighed again and he snatched something in the pocket of his pants. He looks to his iphone for minutes and he walked in front of me. He looks at me and I smiled. Huh, he is going to lent he just want me to pursue him. I excitedly get his phone from him. He looks away when the moment I touch his phone.
My smiled vanished when I realize something. I don’t memorize the mobile number of my friend. This is sorrow.
I brought his phone back and his face is questioning me, “ I forget that I don’t memorized his number.” I scratch my head in my stupidest.
“Can I just stay at your place?” I beg again
"I don't know you." He answered me without any emotion.
"I'm Jiselle Mika Alcantara. 26 years old. I'm currently living in Makati City. I have part time job and half unemployed."I I held out my hand to shake hands but he didn’t accept it.
I change the subject and didn’t mind what he did. "How about you?" I curiously asked. His smell seems familiar to me.
"I still don't know you." He answered and didn’t mind my question.
"That’s not my problem. I already introduce myself." I said confidently and I pouted.
He didn’t answered again and he get out of the elevator leaving me behind. I followed him in his condo and clean place welcome me. There is no things inside.
"Wow! This is too manly." I commented sarcastically.
“Where I am going to sleep?” I asked while looking at his place. His condo seems he is not always staying here. It is actually dull and empty. “Do you have clothes for woman? I haven’t taken a bath and I am also hungry. I haven’t eaten lunch.” I said even though he is not asking.
"You'll sleep on the sofa and I don't have female dresses here. My fridge is also empty" He licked his lower and he remove his coat.
My eyes widened in disbelief. He became kind. I just initiated to stay in his place even though he didn’t let me in.
I go to his kitchen to check for foods but his fridge is also empty. Even water I saw none.
"Wow! Your fridge have a lot of foods!." I sarcastically commented and close the fridge door.
I am really hungry and tired.
His condo is not that huge and small. I saw a one door and maybe that’s the room. Maybe he bought this only for him. One room only.
“Can I borrow your shirt instead? Please?.. Thanks!” I said in advance before he change his mind. I am hoping that he’s going to lend me and buy me foods. I am that thick face.
He didn’t answered me instead he enter his room.
I don’t feel that I am welcome here.
I sat on the sofa and I patiently waiting for nothing. Someone knocked on the door and I open it and It’s brother Rodger.
"Here's your personal needs, Madam." Roger smiled at me.
“This is for me?” My mood brighten, “weh!?” I can’t believe this. I open the paper bags and I saw clothes for woman and I also saw soap, shampoo toothbrush. This is complete set. There is also a bra and underwear.
“Thank you Rodger!” I scream when he’s about to enter the elevator. Why I didn’t notice that he walks away?
He is like his boss. They are both silent.
They are kind but brother Rodger is kinder than his boss. Hmpp!
I run into the bathroom and took a bath. They are good in picking a cloth, they are all suited on me. Wow cap amazing stories!
This day worn me out.
When I am done to my things and bathroom things I go to his room and I knocked. “Mister? Hello?!” I scream from the close door, “mister can I borrow money?! I gonna pay you when I saw my friend!” I lean my ear in the door to hear his answer.
“Mister?!” I knocked loudly.
“I’m gonna open this, okay? You’re not answering so I’m gonna open this door!” I warned him and I am worried to him. He might do something in himself.
I was about to open the door when he came out.
I smiled at him.
“Can you borrow money? I am really hungry.” I held my tummy to show him how hungry I am feeling.
.
"I waited you outside the hotel for almostfour hours and I haven’t eaten lunch and dinner. Have mercy on him.” I acted.
"So what." He commented without any heart. He came out of the room and I followed him again.
"You're too demanding. I didn't know you. I let you to come here in my condo and you keep on demanding and too noisy." He said seriously yet softly. His eyebrow creased.
He sounds kind.
“Eh, if you feed me you won’t hear anything to me and you can rest peacefully, right?” I made him realized my point.
"How can you pay me? Someone is chasing you and you don't have money." His voice is so soft and gentle, it melts me.
“If we met again I’m gonna pay you or give me your mobile number. I didn’t say that I’ll pay you right now.” I made it clear.
He tsked and he did something in his phone after that he turn on the TV and sat peacefully. I’m just looking at him the whole time and he didn’t bother to look back at me.
I am really hungry and there’s no foods in his condo, even a bread. He only have water from the faucet.
Minutes passed and I heard someone press the doorbell and I open it with low energy. That man show no mercy. He is heartless.
I saw a delivery man holding a plastics of foods and my face glow.
“Foods!” I exclaimed.
I excitedly get the foods from his hands.
“They are already paid, ma’am.” He smiled at me.
"Thank you brother!" I even send a flying kiss through my free hand.
I came back to the sofa and open all the plastics and paper bags and there’s a lot of foods. Delicious foods.
“Thank you mister!” I looked at him with shining eyes, “I will pay you if we met again. Love you!” I return my attention to the foods.
I stop from taking out the food when I realized to what I said to my last sentence.
I look at him and I saw him, he clenched his fist.. He turn around to face and his expression is blank. He is glaring at me.
He didn’t like what I told him.
I am doomed!
When I woke he is not in the whole condo and the good thing is, he left food for me. He is kind, I admit. The food yesterday night I ate all of them and I sleep on the sofa.
I still have fair of clothes they bought for me and I go out when I done fixing myself. I need to go and I only ask for one night. I may have thickened face but I know my limit.
I won’t stay any longer and I still need to find a full time job. I do not want someone to degraded me because I don’t have permanent work.
I forgot that I need to call Weltry. I’m going to ask a helo from him.
Shet!
I hide when I saw those chubby ducks looking for everywhere.
How did they know that I am here? Do they inserted a tracking in my body? I touch my body and feel if there’s something suspicious.
They are looking something to the thing that they are holding on while looking at the whole place.
“There she is!” Someone notice me and he told his duck and friends.
