CHAPTER 12
"Wow, it's good here..." I uttered in amazement when Jinx told me that we should go to the backyard of a unique house. It was really good.
The looks of the backyard was so good in the eyes. It has a lot of flowers that could attract someone. The Bermuda grass was cut nicely. I do not know who owns this but I admire them for making this beautiful view and for taking care of it.
"You know who owns this...?" I asked Jinx in a slow manner. When I looked at him, he was already staring at me. My cheeks then heated because the way he really stares at me was different. I see something that I should not see and know.
"Me," he said and forced a smile. He then looked away while I was stunned. Really? I would always be surprise to the things he shows at me and I would know later on that he owns amazing things? That he was a part of everything I was amazed of.
"W-wow, how nice, Jinx..." I whispered and smiled. He bit his lower lip and just nod his head, could not even

It was so hard to live with no freedom. It was not easy to just see the darkness and you are struggling seeking for the light. It was hard to live if you do not even want to. It was hard to do everything that you are not even fond of. It was so freaking hard like you're in hell.I covered my face with a white pillow and stopped myself from crying again. But I am not that strong to stop my tears from falling. And since I am just alone here in my room, I just let my sobs come out my mouth for me not to struggle from breathing.It was been weeks when I choses to study at home but I could not focus myself on the lessons because something bad was stealing my mind which made me to not think clearly.Even Jinx was confused because of my situation.

I don't get myself anymore.I sighed heavily and wiped my tears strolled down my cheeks. Funny why I am crying in the midst of washing the dishes I have used after I eat. I remembered my family and especially my father, I miss them but they do not even do the same.I bit my lower lip to stop myself from crying nonstop. When I finished washing the plates, I looked at the time and saw that it was already six in the evening.I should go to sleep now.I yawned and stared at the blank wall. I do not know what would be the right thing to do since I could not think clearly. I closed all of the windows and doors first before I head to the room where I would be sleeping. But in the midst of walking towards the room, I saw a note plastered on the cabinet.It caught my attention because I have read his name over there — Jinx' name.I went near it and got it before I read what was written. "Always full your stomach and ta

After we had breakfast Jinx invited to the mall and I could not refuse because I wanna see the view of it too.Not that I never went to mall, maybe I did but just thrice and no other. I want to see what it looks like now and I also had to enjoy life. Life is too short and even if I am anxious having fun, I do not want to waste my time here in the Earth.I just realized that life is too short to be just stressed and feel blue."Do you want this, Astra?" Jinx asked and showed me a shoes. I bit my lower lip out of shame. I am not used of him buying me some stuffs. He had not tell me that he would buy me things I need and I thought we will just wander around."Uh, I don't want that.."He raised his brows before he looked down at my shoes. "Yeah, you do not because you need it. Come on and wear it to know if this would suit to you."I had no choice but to wear it like what he said. I then stifled myself from smiling upon seeing it suits to

"Do not let others makes you feel down, Astra." I sighed when I remember what Jinx said before he brought me home so we could rest. I do not know why I smiles very often and whenever I remember him doing good things for me, I feel something strange. I don't know what he's doing to me anymore. But one thing's for sure, I am slowly falling for him. The side of my lips slowly rose up with my thoughts. Damn it. I can't believe it! This feeling is very different. It was like sending me to a different place that causes cloud nine feeling. I am confusing myself, big time. "Astra, Jinx texted me." I looked at Sew when she talked all of a sudden. The whole unit was just silent and her voice echoed. "Huh? What did he said?" I asked while sipping on my coffee. She then smiled and showed me her phone a bit. "Here," she handed it to me. I got it and read what was written. I the stopped myself from smiling upon reading his message. J

"Have you seen Jinx?"Sew looked at me with the side of her lips rose up. "You have been looking for him often, why? Are you missing that man already? I doubt about it, Astra."I bit my lower lip because she seems like teasing me. I could not even deny because I know to myself that I really miss Jinx already. He did not even show up himself these past few days! I started my home school and he said he will accompany me but he did not.Anyway, he made me borrow his another laptop. I told him that phone is already okay and enough since I do not know how to use laptop, hence he guided me on how to open it and such a thing so I would familiarize it before I start my class."I just need his help for our lesson, Sew. And he also promised that he will help me make my projects if I struggles." I had to defend myself so I will not be doomed. Sew is such an observant person and without any of my notice, she already know things that I hides against her.She ra

"Sew said that you are looking for me, was it true?"I held my chest in so much shock when Jinx appeared from my behind all of a sudden. How did he get here silently? I was just busy cleaning the unit because Sew has left and he came on the other hand to shock the hell out of me. But then I stiffened because of what he just asked. But yes, I was looking for him.I slowly turned my body to him while holding cleaning materials for the dusty floor. I the gulped when I saw him with his formal shirts and shorts. His hair was plainly nice. He seemed like he just went to a meeting. "H-Huh? Did I?"He pursed his lips and slowly nodded. "I came here because Sew told me that you are looking for me, I thought you need something?"I felt guilty. He might in a work that I do not know and when Sew told her that I was looking for him, he went here just to see and know if something happens and if I need something. "U-Uh, I do not really need something."His

It felt surreal because it was like I am already doing so fine.Jinx guided me to work in their mansion as a secretary of Mister Adonis. I have no knowledge about being a secretary of a business man but Mister Adonis was so nice. He knows what I have been through and he respects me if I do mistakes in every of my move. But I know he was just resisting to not be mad at me because I am just new. I am getting shy because it was like I just applied and got that job to make his business life a mess."While you are at work, Astra, do not think too much because that could affect the things what you do. Just relax and act calm, okay? You seemed like so afraid of me, don't be, okay? I will not hurt you or something," Mister Adonis said while busy typing on his laptop. I, on the other hand, gulped, busy fixing and arranging bunches of résumés aside so his office would look neat."Y-Yeah, pardon me, Mister Adonis.." I uttered on air and give him a

"Why are you getting silent?"I looked at Jinx when he asked me. I then shook my head as a response and did not bother uttering to answer him. Their living room was so silent and he seemed noticing that also so he opened their television to kill the time. We are waiting for Fin to bring food here, though. Jinx also requested for his drinks so he could join me eat.Yeah, he do not want me feel alone. How sweet of him, right?"You like action movies, am I right?"My lips parted when he said that while busy looking for a channel for a nice movies. "How did you knew?"He did not look at me. "I just know, I mean, Sew told me that."I let out a small laugh before I diverted my eyes off him. I do not know why he sounded funny with that, there is nothing's even funny or something. "Yeah, I see."He fixed himself beside me upon choosing a nice movie to watch. I felt awkwardness because his mere presence was making me feel something
