“That’s just nothing, Nash. Are you sleepy?”“Ate Alyana, let’s watch a Disney movie.”“Disney movie?” He nodded. I bit my nail, I do not know enough about Disney movies.“Pfft... what are you, a girl? Disney, for real? What kind of Disney is Cinderella?” asked Stephen, laughing.“Yeah, Cinderella! Why do you care?” he seriously questioned. Hayst, there they go again.“There’s nothing like that here—“ “There is when if you have a laptop. You’re rich, aren’t you, Mr. Driver?”“Wait!” Stephen stood up, went to his room, and when he came back there, he was already carrying a laptop.He sat next to us, we had Nash in the middle. Stephen searched on YouTube and found what Nash called Cinderella.“Sis Alyana, I want to be the prince and find someone like Cinderella.”“Why do you want someone like Cinderella?” I asked, wondering.“I feel sorry for her because her stepmom and her stepsisters were so cruel to her. I want someone like her because she is kind, and generous, even though the ones
“Good night, Stephen,” I muttered and kissed him again. I glanced at Nash for a second and saw his eyes closed, it looked like he was sleeping already. He fell asleep fast.“Good night, Alyana,” Stephen mumbled with a beam and kissed my forehead. “Sis Alyana, what are you doing?” I turned to Nash who was now looking at both Stephen and me.“N-Nothing, we’re just talki—““I saw you kissed Mr. Driver.”So, he saw it. Hays, I shouldn’t have kissed Stephen or maybe, I should have made sure that Nash was really asleep.“Do you love my Sis Alyana, Mr. Driver?” he asked, reason for Stephen, who’s now blinking constantly, to turn his gaze on him.“Because if not, I’ll just be the one who’ll love her—““I like her.” I suddenly held my bosom because of what Stephen had just said. Chill, Alyana, you already heard that before and Stephen already told you that so why is your heart pounding madly, huh?”“Like? You only like her? My question here is do you love Ate Alyana...” I’d just get hurt if
“What? There’s a washing machine so--““But I want my clothes to be washed by hand, the dirt will be removed more if you’ll do it manually.” Just for me, using my hand is better.“Sh*t!” I heard him cuss and held his nape.“I don’t know how to wash clothes manually, to be honest.”I blinked. “Uhm, I can teach you.”“Okay, let’s go! Let’s start now so that we can finish it quickly.” We went out of his room and got soap in Manang Daley’s room first. We’re already in the bathroom, he first took his phone that was in his pocket and gave it to me.I just put it on the side, and I sat on the small chair. I’m just on his side now.“Add water first, just add a little...” He then followed what I told him.“Add a little more,” I said and he added but only one drop... Is he really serious?“A little more, Stephen... That’s enough. Then, put soap in the water... By the way! Wash the clothes first.”“I thought it’ll only be your clothes? Why are there panties and a bra—“ I quickly took my undies a
Nanny Daley tapped my shoulder and murmured. "Yes... I always miss her."I miss them both.I can't help but stare at Nanny, who is obviously in grief. "I missed my oldest son, who died before me." Losing a kid or a parents causes the same pain... Because they are your companion, it hurts so much when you talk to loved ones and they disappear; you feel empty and as like something is missing.I averted my sight since I couldn't understand Stephen's attention as we completed cooking and set the meal on the table.Nanny said simply. "Thank you for the food, Nanny Daley." He started to eat.I turned to Stephen, who was standing directly next to me, and said, "Alyana."I said, sitting up straight, "Hmm."He murmured, "Feed me," and I growled."You have hands remember--""This is your fault because my hand still hurts from getting stuck in the door?" He put his hand there was that my fault? In the event that I had known his hand was there, I would not have closed it."It's not like both of
"Oh, go ahead. I'll just let you two in here, and I'll cook first. I'm already hungry from you two." Nanny said as she entered the kitchen.I turned to face Stephen with a smile. "Let's be gentle, Nanny." She urged."Stop it, Stephen. You're still not feeling well.""When am I going to be fine? Is that all right? Alright, you said okay ah, so go ahead." I'm taken aback, I haven't spoken anything yet, have I? I don't agree with you.Stephen and I ate and fed him again once Nanny finished cooking, like if I had a child. After we finished dining, we heard the doorbell ring a few minutes later.Nanny was about to stand up so she could open the door, but I stopped her. "Nanny Daley it's okay, I'll handle that." I says. I walked over to the door and exited."Sis Alyana!" Nash was standing outside the gate with someone, which shocked me..."What brings you here, Madam Nessy?""Nash indicated this residence as the location where he wanted to visit you. Alyana, what are you doing in this house
"Obviously, you appear like a child if you can hang on to Alyana," says the narrator. John laughed, but Stephen seemed unconcerned.It's only now that I realize Stephen is currently feeding me.I pulled the spoon from his grip and added, "I should do that since you're sick.""Of course," says the speaker. He said, scratching his head. As I began to feed him, I saw that the two were staring at Stephen and me."You two are so kind, it's like you and Sanaol are dating!""It's tight when envy is restrained," Flyn said John."Tsk, you're one of them, too!" You're much more envious than I am, that you miss Camille so much." Flyn stared him down square in the eyes."I apologize, I didn't mean to."Camille, who are you? Hmm, I'm intrigued.John hadn't spoken since mentioning Camille Flyn's name, and the silence was deafening, revealing the depth of his thoughts. Is it possible that he was taken aback by what John said, or does he hold a different opinion?We're both in the room because it's l
"I-I know I shouldn't be jealous because I like you and you like me, but we're not as good as we are... it's difficult to picture what the two of us are like! It's as if we had a connection in the eyes of others, despite the fact that we don't. I know, just because you like me doesn't mean you won't like anyone else." Other people stare at us as we walk by, but I don't mind."Alyana—""Just tell me now, Stephen, if you have any intentions of having a relationship with me. If you have a plan for us, I'd like to know what it is because you are always present in my dreams when I think about my future! I only wish you were like that, that we were on the same page. Yes, I'll acknowledge that we don't have much in life, and I have nothing else to offer you but to love me and my body." My tears haven't stopped flowing."Tell me if I should expect anything from you, Stephen, tell me if I should expect anything from you—""I'm in love with you!""I don't say "I love you" to women who aren't si
"Has your menstruation come to an end?" I thought he was going to wait, so why did he ask when my period will end earlier?"Stephen, it only started yesterday.""Are you nearing the end of your period?" He looked at me intently, as if he was genuinely interested."Ahm, for me, it'll be approximately a week.""Is it really only one week? I'm guessing the length of time. Do you have a specific date in mind for when your period will end?"I had just bitten my lower lip because I had never spoken such a topic with a man, even Xenon and I had never discussed it.But now I'm not ashamed of what Stephen and I are discussing; instead, I'm at ease."Perhaps it'll be gone by Monday or Tuesday," I replied, as he took his phone and tapped a button."Okay.""Can you tell me what you're doing?" I was taken aback and tried to figure out what he was up to."I just put it in my calendar as a reminder so I don't forget." Because of his response, I was on the verge of dropping my jaw."What's the matter
