"He acted really strange. What was he talking about? I am going to be the death of him? Why? Did I choke him? Of course not." I whispered while walking down the hall and into the elevator.
Does he really hate choco floats for him to act that way? Maybe he was referring to it when he said something about his death or something or maybe he doesn't really want to share.
Shouldn't be surprised when it's Neal.
I decided to buy water for the both of us so I exited the room. He asked me where I was going but I just told him that I'll buy something so I forgot to ask if there was a cafeteria in this place or perhaps some store.
Well, there has to be. It isn't impossible after all if there really is. Not in this company of his.

Biatchrice• • • • •"I really appreciate it, Ate Buba but can I borrow twenty pesos? For me and for Neal." I smiled shyly at her. She nodded her head without hesitation and got money from her pocket."Of course, Kira.""I'll really repay you later, Ate.""No need, hehe." She got two ten peso on her hands and inserted one by one on the vending machine. I got the water and thanked her again."Kira, I should go ahead. I still need to do something and also, please beware of Biatchrice. She's the number one enemy of the people in here.""Biatchrice?""Biatrice is her real name but most of the people call her that since she's said to be a hooker.""Ohh, no problem Ate Buba. Thanks for the caution! and, thank you for the water again!" She waved her hand goodbye.I started walking my way towards the exit when I've hit some
Ready or Not Chapter 33: A Nobody
A Nobody• • • • •"You can call me Bia, Biatrice, Biatchrice, or even Bitch or anything that satisfies you except for 'Ate' since I want to look young. I know that you see me as a slut—which is very true since everyone is a slut at heart—like everyone else but duh, that's because you're just jealous that men would bow down at me like I'm their owner and they're my precious dogs. They would do anything—even die for me just—""So, Bia, how many years have you been working for this company?" I just want her to shut the hell up. She's too noisy that it's making me deaf.And, me? Jealous? Hell, no. Never. Why would I get jealous of someone who sees all men as toys? Well, maybe I would if I want to get treated that way too but, I can't imagine myself doing things like what she does.Besides, isn't the golden rule, 'don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you?' So

It is such a simple and small thing yet it makes my mind and heart spin around in chaos. Why is this happening?How is he doing this? Is this even normal?I don't feel the same when Josh calls me by my name. So, why? Maybe something is wrong with me and it's time for me to go see a doctor?Maybe I should. I just hope that I'm fine.Also, now that I think about it, I haven't called him by his name, right? What would his reaction be if I were to do it? Would he think and feel the same way? Or maybe,it will be normal for him? Not a big deal? Gosh, Kira. Why would he feel the same as you do? He is pretty healthy

He pinched my cheek which I ignored and asked."We will go home already?""Yes. Why?""I want to ask Bia about the matter that you mentioned a while ago." My eyes are only glued at the floor indicator where the light went to the fourth, third, second, and to the last floor."It's no use asking her and you know why." I probably know only half of what he really means.Because Bia has a rude personality? Feeler? Plastic? Snake? Chatterbox? What else? Uhm,Always fantasizing that Neal loves her? and that she owns him? Ugh, I should really slap her back to reality."Kira."To be honest, I really could have done it b

And also, I don't see anyone around so, it's safe to say that I'm the only one that could see it." I gave him the puppy eyes and pouted. He looked down at me and heaved a deep sigh while his hand was still covering half of his face."You're tempting me and I won't fall for it.""Hmmph. Okay then. I guess you want me to announce it to everyone in this company that you can blush? And then--""And now, you're blackmailing me. That's cheating.""No. I was just being cunning." I smirked. He sighed in defeat and placed his hands down, showing me his adorable red face.I stared at him, adoring how his slightly tanned skin glistened

I Know Her• • • • •I unconsciously stopped from walking any further and looked up at him. He halted upon noticing that I wasn't by his side anymore and glanced at me with great confusion and curiosity in his eyes.I just can't believe what he just said.Did I really make him happy with just that? Being beside him all the time? Even with all the horrible things that I did to him? It may not be a big deal for some but it is already for me.Making a distant and cold-blooded Neal, happy with just a simple gesture? I never thought of that. It's totally new and thinking about what he said over and over makes my heart beat crazily.I could feel stirred up emotions starting to form in my heart but one sensation dominated all the other emotions that I was feeling.Joy.I was happy. I'm happy because he is happy.

Uninvited Guest• • • • •I was about to turn around and walk back inside the house when she shouted at me with her high-pitched voice."You little piece of shit! Open the goddamn gate NOW!" A little piece of shit? Me? Then, that makes her a big piece of shit.I ignored her but she begged and begged, thinking that there's no way that she will definitely stop so I turned around and rolled my eyes at her."I'm sorry! But please, open the gate! This is very important! I need to talk with Mr. Babe! Please!" Ugh. I guess she has left me with no choice.I approached and looked at her. She's now on the verge of crying. What a nuisance. I know that she wouldn't just go away even if I ignore her, right?"What do you want from Neal?" I asked her. I know I sounded so irritated because she pursed her lips together and looked down at the folder that she wa

And I Despise You• • • • •She looked at me unbelievably and shook her head. "I can't believe that my Mr. Babe is stuck in here with you. My poor babe. The woman who was supposed to be his future wife doesn't even know how to cook? What do you feed people? Just some disgusting stuff?" She exaggeratingly said, mocking me.She even wiped an invisible tear on her eye as she looked at me with pitiful eyes. "I bet he's tired of you, Kira but he is just hiding it. Maybe the truth is that he doesn't really love you, well, look at you! I don't see why he should see you as his future wife. You don't deserve to be loved! Ugly! Short! You're just too boring for his likes and I am better! I know that he'll choose me."Nye nye nye. Can someone please shut this woman's mouth!?She really talks a lot. I just want her to leave so that I could sit on the couch and rest my hips that were still hurti

Ferris Wheel• • • • •I looked around and saw a lot of rides, food stalls, and game stalls. There are also a lot of people.I shifted on my seat and wrinkled my forehead. It was like I've squished something that's overloaded with so many weird things.How bothersome even though I've changed not too long ago.Neal arrived with a lot of food with him like tempura and kwek kwek on a plate, lemonade juice, and other foods that have been put on a container.Slowly, I stood up and excused myself, bringing the bag with me, and went to do my thing.We happily ate and stayed there for a minute to talk about the fun things we'll do first."What do you want to ride, first?""You." I shrugged at him. Well isn't it a wise choice to let him since it is still my first time here?"Wait, what?" He

Damn, I really hope it's not that hard especially when it is still my second day today.We were now in front of the big screen while Neal was leaning on the railing that was not that far away from me.Omg. I wouldn't have noticed until now that more and more people are gathering around us if it weren't for me peeking at Neal. This is making me so goddamn nervous.Yes, I did join a dance squad before but that was all just for fun. I never danced in front of a lot of people nor do something in front of a stage. It's too embarrassing.I looked at Neal again and he was already staring at me. He gave me two thumbs up and smiled, making me feel relaxed.My gaze went back to the screen again when it showed a song which is 'Sorry not Sor

Just Dance• • • • •I silently observed both of them. The tarsier's boyfie was very nervous and shaking while Neal was very calm and cool for me but I bet that others would see him as cold and evil for having an intimidating aura around him.Even his opponent seems frightened.I covered my ears. People started to cheer loudly for Neal when his opponent has started to miss a lot and lost the match while he continued, reaching for a very high score of 550.Wow. I bet this is his first time playing basketball again since graduating high school or college and yet, he is still this amazing. He barely missed a shot as he fires them at the net with a breakneck pace.I grinned widely and approached Neal, giving him a thumbs up. He smiled at me and kneeled down, picking up the tickets that were endlessly pouring out of the machine.I peeked at

I want your boyfriend and my boyfriend to have a competition right here and right now. Let's see who of our boyfriend will win." She proudly said while puffing up her chest.With that being said, she grabbed her boyfriend by the arm and kissed him in front of everyone, telling him things that are...well, things that are inappropriate. It's probably her way to cheer for him."You will do your best, right babe? Show them that you are the best of the best. That no one in this world can defeat you! Didn't you tell me before that you were better than your classmate? Who was it again? Was it Neil?" The man gulped several times while peeking nervously on my back.'Oh?' I raised my eyebrow at his actions suspiciously. Was the

And besides, I don't really have to worry because I chose automatic! All I have to do is sit and steer!"Get ready to lose, oldie!" I laughed at him naughtily.He sneered. "Right back at you."I gripped on the steering wheel tightly while the race begins its countdown. When the screen displayed the 'go' sign, I quickly steered the wheel but nothing happened.Huh? What's wrong?Neal has started his while mine didn't. Oh no! What should I do!? I frowned and poked Neal's side. He stopped and looked at me confusingly, "Is t

Did she notice me?"Kira?""A-ah, yes. I'm good.""You don't look like it.""Uhm...m-my tummy is grumbling already. I guess I'm hungry? Uh, can we go a little bit faster?" I bit my lower lip and tried to act as normal as possible. I am really bad at lying so it would be a problem if I keep opening my mouth.Let's take a deep breath and avoid questions for now.I was about to peek at Neal for being silent but sighed in relief when he went faster without asking questions. I gulped and relaxed when the taxi was falling behind.Ugh, that damned Bia! Today is a very special day and she's going to ruin it. Sigh, I just hope that she would give up and stop following us anymore.

Date 2• • • • •"Hey, sleepyhead. Wake up."I grunted irritably and slapped the hand away that was poking my cheek.Ugh. My face turned sour as I felt the heat of the sun touch my skin. Why is he waking me up? How annoying. He is putting me in a bad mood first thing in the morning and I don't like it. What I really hate the most is when someone would wake me up from my sleep.I want to wake up whenever I want to and not when anyone wants me to.He poked my cheek again so I decided to hold and clutch it, preventing it from prodding my cheek again. He laughed at my naughty behavior that caused me to frown at him.I thought that he was in a bad mood since yesterday? Well, because after making fun of him, he left me in the living room and went up the room. I saw him again in the afternoon, carrying some sheets with him. He ignored me so I i

He may be dominating me right now but it won't last for long. I'll be turning the tables and show him how it's professionally done.Something that would leave him wanting for more.Wow, Kira. Coming from someone as innocent and as inexperienced as you. Duh, I'll trust myself on this.I smiled at him seductively as I moved closer to him, kneeling on one knee and with a sweet tone, I whispered in his ear,"You're not doing it right, darling. How weak."I moved away from him to see how he would react and laughed at the view. He looked at me with wide eyes, couldn't believe with what I just said and did but reverted to his calm demeanor and sm

He grinned at me.This man."So that means that it's okay with you whether I am in a bad mood, too? Tsk, you don't know how mad I am today. Especially at you." I said with gritted teeth as I move away from him, crossing my arms over my chest. He'll probably think that I'm joking. Hah! We'll see.Well, what I said was still a bit true since he didn't arrive sooner when Bia was still here. I wouldn't be this mad and anxious if he didn't leave."Why's my darling mad at me?" He moved closer and wrapped his arms around my waist. I tried to move away again but he's not letting me so I let him be and pouted."Hmmph. How would I know? Why don't you talk to yourself?
