Babysit

The old man really went out of town with his wife and kids and left me all alone at home.I am glad.I've been waiting all my life for them to leave this mansion even just for weeks or months.

Finally,i'm free.

"Good thing umalis na ang mga tyanak sa bahay nyo," Ava, my friend giggled while we are inside the salon.

"As if i'll let them stay there for the rest of their lives," I said before i stood up and picked up my black louis vuitton purse.

We went out of the salon and just go straight to the mansion since it's getting dark already.This whole day,i've done nothing but to relaxed and live freely.I wasted a lot of money today,ofcourse i also need to enjoy.I can't just relax without using a big amount of penny.

"Sana kasama natin si Clara mamaya," Ava pouted while scrolling on the screen of her phone.

"Clara is busy with their family business."

I shrugged my shoulder.

We are already infront of the guard house of our own village when my phone rang.I picked it up without looking at the screen of my phone to see who is it.

"Stella, nasaan ka?," Dad asked.

"Inside of our van?," I answered, bored.

Narinig kong nag pakawala ito ng mababaw na buga ng hangin.

"Wherever you are right now.Come home already."

"I am."

"Nasaan ka na-"

"I'm already inside of our village.Ava will be with me tonight," I said before i took a glance on Ava and saw her smiling cutely to me that caused her eyes to twinkle.

"Alright,call me when you're at home already," He said.

I nodded as if he's just here infront of me, before i cut the line.

I rested my back on the seat before i faced Ava who looks excited while humming.

A few minutes later, we are already infront of our house and my eyes landed on the red car inside of our garage.

Nangunot ang noo ko.

Kaninong sasakyan iyon?, marami kaming sasakyan pero wala kaming kulay na pula.

"Gamo,whose car is that?," I asked my driver as he drove our van to park in the garage beside the red fancy car.

"Siguro ay sa bisita, madame."

I shook my head.

"I am not expecting any visitors today.Why did Leandro let it in?," I asked,pertaining to the security guard of our mansion.

Gamo did'nt speak.

He went out of the car to open the door for me and for Ava.

"Salamat!," Ava said, polietly.

Leandro just smiled at her before he turned his back on her.

"Ava,let's go," I said before i walked inside of our mansion.My mind was full of questions about the red car behind our cars in the garage.Someone is inside our house.Who could it be?

As the large double door of our mansion opened,my eyes landed on the guy who's tall enough to look down on me.He is standing a few inches away from me,and who the heck is he??

He has double eyelids and fox eyes, his lips were shaped like bow and her jaw is perfectly molded.His hair is undercut but long enough to tie it to bun.

My eyes widened.

"Excuse me?who the hell are you?," Iasked calmly while intently looking at him.

He is wearing a brown lacoste polo shirt and tucked in his black slacks.

When my eyes landed on his branded belt, i could tell that he is rich enough to buy a house.He is even wearing a fancy and expensive black coat.

I saw his lips parted in awe while standing and looking at me.

"Stella!"

Nanny Rosa rushed from the kitchen to me.

"Oh,Stella.Sino itong pogi na to?," Ava asked when she's already beside me.

I could'nt answer her since i also don't know the answer to her question.Who is this guy?and who allowed him to enter my house??is he one of dad's business partners?shareholders?

"Stella, tumawag kanina ang Dad mo para ipaalam na dadating si sir Uno at dito muna makikituloy."

Nangunot ang aking noo.

I glanced at the man standing infront of us while looking at me as if he's trying to figure out something to me.Those fox eyes.What the hell is wrong with his stares?

Before i could say a word,my phone rang and show my dad's name.

"Stella, nakauwi ka na ba?," Dad asked.

Sa background pa lang ng linya ay alam kong nag kakasayahan na sila dahil naririnig ko ang pag tawa ni Layla.

"Yes?mind telling me who's the guy inside of my house?"

I asked while having eye contact with the guy infront of us.

"Stella, he's Rafael.Isa sa dalawang anak nang tita Regine mo.Remember her?the woman who always bring you gift whenever you are having special event-"

"In short,your business friend.I knew her."

My dad's friend who's living in canada.

"I asked Rafael to look after you while we are away.Her mom and dad is also here with us.He will stay in our house until we get back there."

My eyes widened and my jaw almost drop.

"You- what??," I asked, panicking.

What the freak is this old man thinking?making his friend's son stay in this house with me??is he joking?hell no!

"He will stay there and i am hoping you won't give him a headache-"

"What?no!get him out of here!"

My voice raised as if the guy we are talking about is not here in front of us.

"Stella."

Dad's voice warned me.

"I don't need someone who will look after me.I can handle myself!"

I could feel my face heating up while waiting for his turn to talk.

He started talking but it was'nt clear.He continued talking but his network seems to be bad.The line dropped in instant.

"Hello!?"

Freak!

I faced the man infront of me and saw him stopping himself to raise his eye brow to me.

"Stella,calm down," I heard Ava chuckled.

"Nay Rosa, iwan nyo muna po kami saglit," Ava politely asked nanny.

Nanny Rosa was confused but she still managed to walk back to the kitchen.

"I am Rafael Siveros,your dad asked me to babysit you-"

"B-Babysit!?," I asked in shocked of the term he used.

What does he mean?do i look like a four month old baby?this is ridiculous!

"Ikaw si Stella, right?"

He asked as if he already knew it's me and he just want a confirmation.

His aura shouts confidence and authority that made me stunned for a bit.

"Yup!, siya lang naman ang nag iisang Stella," Ava answered before she laughed while staring at my reaction.

"Your father asked me to look after you until they come back from abroad.I'll be here with you."

He crossed his arms before he took one step closer to me.

"You will follow what i'll ask you to do or you'll be grounded until they come back here."

My jaw dropped and my eyes widened.My ears could'nt even believe what i am hearing!is this a nightmare?what the freak is this handsome but evil man??

Ava laughed and came closer to me.

"Mukang nahanap mo na ang katapat mo ah?," She whispered before she continue laughing.

I gave her my death glare before i cleared my throat.

"Can you shut your mouth?can't you see what's going on-"

"Your mom already informed me about your behaviour but i want you to know that i do not tolerate bratty atittudes."

My eyes automatically went to Rafael who's seriously staring at me.

"Looking after you doesn't mean i'll always be there with you.I also have my schedules in my family's company but..."

He put his both hands inside the packet of his coat.

"I can see you everywhere."

I swallowed hard when he said those words.

Hell i'm not scared!i am just annoyed that he talks to me this way!what the hell is this freak!

Before i could say a word, he turned his back on me and was about to leave us.

"W-Where are you going?"

I almost bite my lower lip after realizing that i am nervous, to the point that i stuttered.

He stopped and faced me.

"I'm going to take a rest after a long flight.Please don't make a mess while i'm asleep."

Wtf!

He left me dumbfounded and that made Ava laugh because of my reaction.

I closed my eyes and my shoulders almost fell down.

"Oh my god!"

I groaned.

What the heck is this?that old man!i will blame him if i die here because of irritation.

"Rafael,uh?"

I opened my eyes and saw Ava looking at the direction where Rafael went.Ofcourse he went upstairs,in our guest room.Feel at home!

"He's hot."

Ava glanced at me.

I rolled my eyes.

"To the point that he made my head hot in just a minute," I respond.

Ava giggled.

It took me minutes while ranting about Rafael.I don't know what's something about him that i can not do anything about what he said.

I highly disagree with the idea of him or anyone i just met today, being here to babysit me or look after me!

God.

Imagine, i just met him today and he already made my blood boil because of his confident and annoying personality.

"It's fine, let's go to your room."

Ava said.

We went inside of my room and Ava tried to enlighten up the mood.I tried to erase Rafael in my mind and tried to calm myself.What's the big deal anyway.

We wasted our time inside of my room until we both fell asleep.We did not have to go out of my room to eat because we already ate outside before we went to the salon earlier.Also, we have pizza and other snacks, i bought it earlier.

Kinaumagahan, maagang umalis si Ava sa mansion namin.May pasok kami ngayon, mag kikita din naman kami sa school pero hindi nya kasi nadala ang school uniform nya dito.

I took a bath and wore my uniform.Just a white polo sleeve, and a brown sweater vest.I tucked it in my brown and white checkered skirt and i put my white high socks.

I went downstairs when i feel satisfied with my appearance.I am already carrying my bag.

"Nanny!"

I yelled while walking.

I saw foods on our dining table that made my forehead creased.Every maid in this mansion knew that i don't eat breakfast here when i have a class.

Before i could say something,Rafael appeared,walking on the stairs, fully dressed up with his corporate attire.

I bit my lower lip.

"Stella."

Nanny Rosa came out of the Kitchen.

My eyes went to her.

"Nanny,i'll go now-"

"Sit, kakain tayo," Rafael cutted me off.

"What?"

I almost whispered.

He sat on the dining chair before he raised his face to see me.

I saw him swallowed.

"Nanny, continue your sleep.It's still too early," He commanded.

Nanny Rosa nodded and left us quietly.

I quietly closed my eyes.

Early in the morning, this guy will really test my patience.

"Sit here."

I opened my eyes and look at him with my dagger eyes.

"Can you not boss me around?I am not your slave," I added, "I won't eat breakfast, i dont eat breakfast here.Just- shut up!"

I turned my back on him and ready to leave the mansion.

What is he?dad's new son?is there something between dad and Rafael's mom?

"Stella."

I was stunned when he voiced my name as if he is trying to warn me.

"I am not here to tolerate your atittude.If you think i will let you be like that, think again.Now, sit here and eat your break fast.I will drive you to your school."

This bitch!

He's getting in to my nerves!

Before i could burst out, i inhaled some air to calm myself.

I don't think he will let me go.He looks really confident of everything about him and that's annoying!

I heard my stomach made a noise.

"Come here, sit."
