After annoying me, he took a shower so I have to wait more than an hour for my turn. My eyes widened when I saw him walking out of the bathroom half naked. He only had a tower around his waist and every moment he made a step, his third but shirt leg also moved as if it's stepping. “Don't stare at me that way, mommy. My body might melt,” he said. I looked at his face and I caught him smiling like someone who feels high because of cannabis. “Excuse me, Kalvis. You're blocking my way.”“Oh, mommy, I thought that you like it?”He move his chests and it caught my eyes. I just noticed it now that he has a tattoo on his right chest. It's a sword that has ang angel wings.“Kalvis…” I have to compose myself when I realise why I was here. I am here to represent Marcov. As his secretary all I need to do is to never give his son the attention he's seeking. “What, mommy?”“If you want to keep your balls safe, then do not come near me.” I took a few steps before I looked back at him. “By the
I fixed my things inside the luggage. Ester called and said that our flight is near.We checked out of the hotel, and we are now riding in a taxi to the airport.I sighed when I went out because of the hot weather in the Philippines. My head totally gets the point of why foreigners love to go here for beaches because of the almost unending summer season here. I never looked at Kalvis after I heard an extreme abhor of his heart feeling towards me through his tongue. He accused me of stealing his dad away, even though I was not doing it. Marcov isn't letting their relationship be ruined; instead, he is doing everything to save it. The real problem here is Kalvis; he just can't accept it.“Miss Sterling, are you alright? Don't you want to hear stories about him?" Esther inquired, looking at the man in front of us.“I am enjoying our flight, Ester. Save your stories when we arrive at our destination.”“As you said, miss.”I smiled without showing my teeth, and I bowed a little.I cast my
-Marcov-We are now facing each other. I was sitting next to my uncle while the family of whom he had credit was in front of us. We had dinner with them as we planned to discuss the marriage of Kalvis to their daughter.“I am really excited about this, Emberson,” Matthias said, the father of the woman who will be married to Kalvis.“Well, me too. This union will definitely make us one. The future of both our families is in good hands now. We won't be worrying about the separation of the powers we have in the field of business.”They all faked laughs. I looked at the woman; she has fair-pale skin, and she has round honey eyes. I can feel that she's a typical fresh graduate from a famous university that only has makeup set inside her bag.“Marcov, why don't you tell them about Kalvis?"I looked at Uncle Emberson. I cleared my throat before staring at the young woman, who was pushing her breasts out. I don't know what she's trying to prove, but she is making an effort to amaze everyone a
I heard roosters waking up all the people at the orphanage. I woke up with a great feeling. So it's the feeling of waking up here in the Philippines. It's literally amazing.I opened the window and saw some of the kids cleaning the surroundings. Some of them are watering the plants, and others are sweeping the ground.I see well-disciplined children, and it made me smile like my heart was already caught by this place.“Veronica, we are not here to sleep like oil. It's not a great idea to lay down above the bed while the sun wakes up before you. More than that, we are here, not as guests but as helping hands and support individuals this week for the orphans.”I rolled my eyes. “I'm already awake, Kalvis.” I sighed deeply. It's early in the morning, and I am offended because of the way he said the word “orphans.” It seemed he was trying to imply that the children have nowhere to go and no hope to see because they have no parents looking for them.“That's great, then! Take a bath and hel
I let the children do the activity I made them do. In order to give them peaceful surroundings to focus on the activity, I left them. Kalvis also went out. He sat on a rock while I faced the flowers in the small garden at the side of the room where the children were taught.I suddenly turned around when I felt the wind blowing on my neck. I felt that wind because I tied my hair in a ponytail."God, Veronica, we are not doing what we are supposed to do," he said.My eyebrows almost met as I looked at him with a stare that asked him if he was certain about what he said."What? Are you just going to stare at me?”“Kalvis, what should I tell you? I mean, what do you want me to say? Whether I'm going to justify myself or not, it still means bad to you. I am always wrong in your eyes. Remember that you don't see the right things I do, but you can quickly see my mistakes. You're the only one who's always right, right? ”“Whatever! Just make sure what you're asking the kids to do makes sense.
Kalvis and I just repeated our routine while we were here at the orphanage. I noticed something about him, as if he was avoiding me in some other way. We came here together earlier, but now he has left me."Come on, kids. Let us all read this one. Ready to go.”"Ana is beautiful," I and the kids chorused.I gave them an activity before I went out. I rested. I've been looking for Kalvis for a while, but I can't find him. It's his time to watch over the kids."Kalvis?"He didn't answer, so I called inside the house again."Kalvis? Are you here?”"Y-Yes."The door was slightly open, so I peeked in. I pushed the door open when I saw him lying on the bed, and it was obvious that he was not feeling well.I put my palm on his forehead. I withdrew my hand because of the hot temperature of his forehead."Shit! Kalvis, your fever is high.""It's nothing serious.""Huh?! What is nothing serious?” I shook my head. That's why I thought he was avoiding me. He was not in the mood because of his high
I put my palm on my forehead and slowly pulled it down, then I sighed heavily. I am outside of the house and leaning on its bamboo wall. I forcefully shook my head as what he said kept running in every corner of my head. I saw Lukas running towards me. The child is freshly bathed. "Miss Veronica, let's eat," he said to me. "Who told you to inform me about dinner?""It's Miss Ester. She said that we should eat together," said the boy. I look around before I look up at the sky. I don't feel like eating for this meal. I don't have the appetite to swallow food because of my heavy thoughts. I am already full of the thoughts that Kalvis made me think of. "Tell Miss Ester that I am alright here.""Okay, Miss Veronica. I will bring you some food here so that you will have something to eat with Sir Kalvis.”"You don't have to—" My lines were cut because Lukas left me. He returned with two kids and each of them brought something. I helped them enter the food inside the house. "I told yo
The next day, I felt like not rising from my bed. It's morning, but my body is still under the white linen, feeling like it's still in the solemnity of the evening. I closed my eyes again after a long yawn.I quickly opened my eyes when I heard the sound outside of my room. Those were big knocks against the door."Hey, Veronica! What are you doing? It's already nine in the morning and you're still in bed? Damn! Come one, Veronica. Wake up now! You always let the sun rise first!”His voice sounded like a broken record being played on the radio. Besides, this jerk is really kind when he sleeps, but when he's awake, it's like he's always surrounded by a thousand demons. “Veronica Sterling! Wake up, because we have a lot to do! ”Damn this jerk. He is to blame for why I didn't sleep early and properly, and now he is trying to annoy me by waking me up early with his loud voice and noisy knocks.I didn't answer, even though he called me several times. He made me feel like I was floating li
