"Lia, my sister who hasn't been watered!" I almost rolled my eyes when my sister shouted upon entering the house."Lacy panty." I greeted back.the smile on her face was gone, the one that should have hugged me ended up in a slap and a scary look."You bitch! It's Lacynia, you fucker! I’m your older sister!" she yelled at me, I rolled my eyes, I pulled her hair and she took a deep breath and pulled my hair as well."Hypocrite, I have a story for you!" I groaned so we let go of each other's hair."Hey, Lia." I lost sight of my sister and looked at his companion, Ashton."Hey, Ash." I smiled at him. he cleared his throat; I was surprised when he handed me a bouquet of flowers which I immediately reached for and smelled."Thank you, Ash. I love it." I said, and smiled at him."Thank goodness, you liked it." he shyly scratched his head. I turned my back just to see my sister, looking at me suspiciously, this madman teased me again, my sister really is annoying in times like this."Let's go, let's sit." I said and let them sit on the sofa. I put my hair in the back and called Kary, for snacks and juice."Why did you come here?" I turned to Ash, I tried to sounded nice and a bit formal.he looks good today, earthly brown eyes and hair, reddish thin lips and he has this good boy aura."I saw your sister on my way here, she said she was coming here so I took her with me." he explained. I nodded a little and simply pinched my boisterous sister."It means he wanted to have sex with you!" my sister whispered so my eyes widened and hit her thigh.This woman is really crazy."Lacynia!" I almost shouted out of shock at what she said."Are you okay?" I turned to Ash and smiled quickly."I'm fine, don't mind me." I chuckled"So how is your father's campaign?" he mentioned my father"It's okay, it's okay. He has a big chance of winning, he also has Mommy with him in the campaign." I said and smiled a little.my father is serving the public for almost fifteen years, he's running for senator again like the usual because his term is over this year."that's great, how are you? how's your security, have you been receiving threats again?""I'm fine, Ash." I answered and glanced at my sister who was starting to eat the cookies lying on the table, while she’s grinning so much, so I frowned.I hope you choke, bitch."I'm uh, I'm okay, Ash." I just smiled, "I can handle threats now and, I know how to save myself in times I am in danger." I answered for him to stop."Do you have any guards?" he asked.oh, guard! where is my drop-dead gorgeous bodyguard?!I rolled my eyes and froze without seeing Phoenix around.Where’s that man? that ice! I took a bath and got dressed because he ordered it! I'm done, I'm fresh and pretty again! where is he now?"Lia?""Uh, yeah." I suddenly looked at Ashton. "There is." I said softly."great, I won't be scared when you're outside." he smiled at me.I just smiled and suddenly felt awkward, so easy!"Is that so?" I chuckled, "oh go ahead, eat there first, my sister will run out of cookies." I handed him the juice and snatched the plate of cookies from Nia to give it to Ashton."Thank you, Lia." he smiled genuinely and took the cookies and the juice.when Ash ate, I simply looked at Lacy panty, and frowned but she just smiled at me."Excuse me first, Ash. I'll just talk to my sister." I said and he nodded.I pulled lacy upright who was standing next to me, and stared at her. when we reached the kitchen irritated, I pinched him and he laughed out loud."What's your problem?""Damn you! Why are you here with Ashton?" I hissed"eh he did see me; he knew I was going here." She told me.
"How can I talk to that? I feel so awkward! I can't bear that he was in front of me for a long time or talking to him, what is he saying, I don't like that." I pouted."Gosh, I thought you used to crush that?" she said and folded her arms."Yes, I just crush him because he's cute!" I answered"He's still handsome until now ah? What is that, you don't want it anymore?""he's a good friend, alright, he treats me well. he's handsome, but there’s no spark, you know that feeling?""what sparks? hey! you're going over the calendar, sparks sparks are you still saying that? that's outside oh! there's a power pole over there, hug that, maybe there are sparks!" she exclaimed and I stomped my feet at that."Lacy!" I groaned"Stop there, Lia! There's a spider web there already, you still don't have a man." she said."I do like him before, as in, but...""but when he liked you, you lost your liking for him?" She finished what I wanted to say.I nodded and sighed."Learn to open your heart. the problem is that you can easily get tired of things.”"Maybe because I haven't really found the one for me yet?" I murmured."What's for you? You can watch that because of rom-com. Hey, Lia. There's no such thing as the one like that of the movies. You'll go over the calendar, go fish a man.""I don't like them!" I sighed."but a lot of people like you, you just don't want to, Lia. baby sister, you're old, even if you don't have a boyfriend? ashton is here, he likes you, he looks like he will take care of you. I'm just worried about you, married I just want you to be able to settle down happily. "I sighed, "Maybe I'm really ugly?" I glanced at the mirror on the side and blinked before winking. "I'm still beautiful." I murmured softly.my sister taps her forehead and stared at me. "Ashton is a good choice, he is kind, that's fine, Lia, answer it.""Is he flirting with me?" my eyes widened and I was slapped on the arm by my mad sister."Yes! Lia, my goodness! are you numb? no feeling?""He never told me he'll court me! as long as he just gives me flowers." I said."You're really numb." She said to me."but you know, I still believe in happy endings. I’m a sucker for it. I want a love like mom and dad. I want to marry the man that I love, not just because I don’t have any choice." I said softly, "I’m, but I can't help but to think if there is something wrong with me.""There is nothing wrong with you sis." said Lacy and squeezed my hand. "You were born beautiful, with talent, rich, with a perfect life, sexy, all of you! While I was just born!" she sighedI held back a laugh and shook her."At least, you already have your own family, your husband loves you, and your child." I whined. "and you are really pretty my sister! Come on! Give me your sample dance steps!!"She was joking to dance in front of me so we approached each other."Anyway, what is your agenda for calling me here at home? It's a good thing Dan is at home, so I left." Nia said."Uh." I cleared my throat and looked around the house, "Have you seen a new familiar face around?""huh?" She asked me, confused."I said have you seen any familiar face around? Like a man you have seen?""Nothing." she answeredPhoenix, where are you?"Because, you will be surprised when you find out who my bodyguard is!" I said"Huh? Who? man, right? is he handsome?" her eyes almost light up."Yes!" I exclaimed. "Just, it's amazing when you find out who.""All right, where are you?" She saidI saw Kary there on the side so I waved and called her."Kary, where is Phoenix?" I asked her"Uhm, I didn't notice, ma’am." She said, "Take a look at the garden and maybe there."I nodded at what she said and smiled, we are almost the same age, she is only a year older than me, so we also talked a lot, we are close and she is the one I talk to most when I am at home, since I was a child, she’ already here, serving us.L I A N AI pulled my sister out to the back door towards in the garden and my eyes narrowed when I saw that he was not there."Where? Nia asked curiously so I thought of a way."Hurt me, Nia." I said"Huh? Are you crazy?" She said and looked at me in shock."Go! Do it now!" I said excitedly."Why?" Confused, she said."Hurry up, hurt me! Push me, like that!" I said"Omg! Lia, look! There's handsome there!" She pointed somewhere so I turned around and shouted in shock when She suddenly pushed me, to my shock at what She did, I got out balanced so I fell, and my knee hit the piercing tiles there.It scratc
L I A N AI sighed, I clung to the sofa and stepped into the kitchen when someone suddenly held my waist. I jumped in shock, I quickly jumped up and was stunned to see Phoenix holding my waist and supporting me on the walk."P-Phoenix," I murmured.He didn't say anything nor took a glance at me, he silently supported me towards dining and presented me and helped me sit down."Oh, Sir, come, join Lia!" Kary said to PhoenixI took a glance at Phoenix and saw him shook his head with a small smile."I'm good.”' He saidKary served food and I glanced at Phoenix who was just standing quietly on the side."Let's eat," I invited. He looked at me,
L I A N A"Ma'am Lia! Are you okay?" I met Kary after I left the room the next day."Well!" I giggled and placed my hand on my waist. "Super cool!" I even dance in front of her."Where are you at, Kary?""Oh, just cleaned the guest room, someone will be using that from now on." she said and I just nodded, wondering.We have a visitor?"Oh, by the way, Ma'am, your Mommy and Daddy are downstairs." she said and my eyes widened and got excited."Oh my God! Thank you!" I giggled happily and almost ran downstairs.I was just on the stairs when I heard the voice of my Mom and Dad talking. My grin widened, high as I went down the stairs and was about to go to
L I A N A“We actually tried setting her up with blind dates,” Daddy said looking comfortable with Phoenix. "But she easily ignores them, after the blind date then boom, goodbye.""Because they weren't interesting!" I said. "They are super chatter, I'm annoyed. Pure self -talk. I prefer boys who's listening, with thrill, quiet. Who will hear your thoughts first before boasting about themselves.”? My nose.When I glanced at Phoenix, I saw his earnest look. I saw his blazing green eyes, cold and unmoving, just staring at me. His jaw clenched a bit and then licked his lower lip."There, there's nothing like that in real life, Liana Baker, just in that book you
L I A NAI blinked, my friends blinked and shut me up. While I was startled, Ash was blushing and chuckled at that."Take care of my Lia. I’m going to marry her soonest" He said and messed up my hair.Lacy pushed me with her shiver and I almost hit her when I lost my balance. My friends teased me but I keep on shaking my head, laughing.Ash has left but their teasing continues. Lacy was about to tweak me but my gaze was fixed on Phoenix who was just quiet there and looked straight where, obviously irritated. Hungry for sure? He didn't have lunch."When will you answer?" Julian asked me, teasing."I don't actually know," I shook my head. "I am not ready."
L I A N AI woke up early, even though I wasn't taking a bath, I was quick and almost ran to the bathroom to wash and brush.I was grinning and almost dancing while staring at myself in the mirror and combed my hair.What a beautiful morning! I am so beautiful!I don’t know but I have a lot of energy today, after I got dressed, I combed my hair with my finger and applied a thin lip tint. I even put powder on my face and put a light red tint on my cheek too to make it blush more but all in all, it looked natural.When I was satisfied, I quickly went out of the bathroom and arranged wearing a spaghetti strap and shorts. I put on my slippers and checked my bandage before glancing
L I A N AHe cleared his throat, his cheeks almost flushed but I smiled at him and spoke."You looked more handsome when you laugh," I murmured softly and bit my lip."Anyway," He said and lowered his gaze on my knees. He knelt down in front of me again and reached for my thigh while I just smiled there. "It's okay, you don't have to wrap it on a bandage.""Not that okay," I sighed."You're crazy," he said and I sighed as he patted my knee."Phoenix!" I groaned when it stung and I kicked him there so he laughed again and laid my foot on the floor, read his lips before standing in front of me and combing his hair."Go, woman, chang
L I A N A"Liana, come on, you should eat." Ash chased after me but I remained silent and closed my eyes."Liana," I felt Ashton touched my arm so I shrugged and glanced at him."I'm not hungry, Ash." I sighed. "Thank you for the food, I'll eat it later, I just ... I just don't feel like it right now.""Is it about that?" His forehead creased."It's nothing," I avoided and bit my lip. "It's just that I don't feel like eating right now. I'll eat if I'm hungry. Thank you for the food."He nodded, when he released my arm, I quietly left him and went to Daddy's ally to greet him."What exactly?" Lacy suddenly grabbed my arm and glanced into the kitchen. "What's wrong with Ashton?"
