Chapter 2

"Admiring the view?"

My cheeks warmed up. I didn't mean to stare at him. And what’s even more annoying, I got caught.

I blinked when I heard Kier moan.

"I-I can't breathe. You're so heavy, Fatima."

I think I was so amused by staring into Kier's eyes and forgot that I was lying on top of his body.

With my weight reaching eighty kilograms, I had difficulty getting up.

"Ouch..."

"What's wrong with you?" I asked Kier worriedly. I was wearing fitted jeans, so I had a hard time standing up.

"My-"

"What?"

"M-my sexy back. I think my spinal cord was broken in two. I think the pig that was supposed to be roasted fell on my body."

Annoyed, I looked at Kier's face and saw a silly smile.

"You will pay for what you did to my car. And now you will also pay my hospital bill."

"Stop being overacting!" I said angrily to him. "You deserve it. You lack attention."

In my annoyance, I stood up. I pulled on my dog’s leash and turned my back on the man who was still lying on the grass.

"Fatima, where are you going?" He shouted at me. "Won't you help me get up?"

I pretended to hear nothing. I walked fast. But I haven't gone far yet, I'm out of breath. My dog ​​and I stopped for a moment.

I didn’t want to look back at Kier but I couldn’t help it. I saw him walking towards the parked car, and before he could get in, he even looked at me. Our eyes met, and we stared for a moment. I shrugged and started walking.

I'm in beast mode already and that's because of one person. The malignant Kier! When he sees me, he happily annoys me. That’s not just a simple joke to me. It's an insult! And what annoys me more, I’m not used to it yet.

I put Beauty in the cage. I gave food and water to my pet. I know my dog ​​was also stressed with Kier.

"Oh, you poor little thing. We saw that scary man again. He's a mutant whose only guts are gills." I'm talking to my dog. "Remember his smell, huh? And that way, we can avoid him."

"Nice. You still mention my name even when I'm not in front of you. Did you miss me too much? We just met in the park less than an hour ago, didn't we?"

I almost jumped in panic when someone whispered in my ear. And when I looked back at who it was, I almost punched him in my annoyance.

"Why are you here, don't you have a house? My brother isn't here." My snout snorted. "You've ruined my day, don't annoy me anymore. Go away!"

"That's why I'm here because your brother called me. But he's not the only one I came here for, I have another reason."

I smirked at him.

"Auntie Elena and Uncle Carlo need to know what you did to my car. And what happened earlier in the park."

Annoyed, I scratched my head and widened my eyes at him.

"Is Mayor Rodrigo Williams' only son already suffering? You're asking me for money to repair your car," I said sarcastically.

The Williams family – is known for their provincial politics. Kier's grandfather became the governor of Cavite in the 1960s. His father and three uncles were just swapping positions as mayor in Wellington.

Mayor Rodrigo Williams and my father were childhood friends. My father was a supporter of Mayor Williams even then.

Their mother has been friends since they were in high school. Their relationship as good friends continued until they were born.

"You're the one in arrears with me."

He almost had to feed me the word ‘arrears’.

I was about to speak when my brother Tristan came into the kitchen.

"Kier, bro!"

We turned to Tristan.

"Fatima, why does your face look like crumpled paper?"

"Because your friend, as usual, ruined my day again."

"You're not used to it yet?"

I glanced at Tristan and gave him a weird look.

"Kier insulted my body again. Talk to your friend and maybe I can't help it, I'll kick him out of our house!"

"Brat," Kier whispered, and it didn't escape my keen hearing.

My ears tingled. I narrowed my eyes on him. He met my eyes defiantly. But instead of speaking, I chose to be silent.

"Kier," Tristan scolded him.

Deserve, I whispered to myself.

Kier didn't say a word.

I turned my back on them. I left the kitchen and went straight to my room. I was pissed when I looked in the whole body mirror. I winced when I saw my reflection in the mirror. 

Oh, my gosh! I get even fatter!

I had fun eating. Then, every day I go to Lover’s Café which is owned by my family.

Lover’s Café is my mother’s business. She first built the Café in Tres Cruses, near an exclusive school where I attended college then. At Harvard College University.

Lover’s Café is famous. Because Cafés are hype now, three years after building the first Café, my mom built three more branches.

I pulled on the end of my T-shirt. Even though I was wearing a plus-size shirt, it didn’t hide my big belly.

I bit my lower lip.

Even though other people think I'm pregnant because of my big belly, the truth is screaming… That I'm pretty!

Even though I'm the size of a closet, I can carry it. Even though I'm so healthy, I'm good at choosing clothes to wear.

I often watch videos of my favorite famous vlogger whose content is about plus-size outfit ideas.

I'm a fashionista!

I’m not going out of style!

I looked at my body in the mirror. Left, right, front, and back.

I'm not fat!

I'm just healthy!

A woman that has a voluptuous figure!

The day will come, I will feed him all the insults he said to me. I’m referring to Kier.
