2024-10-29 19:42:56"You sure you're okay wearing that?" William asked Brieanna for the 8th time now.
Brieanna rolled her eyes as she closes the car door. "I told you it's fine. You helped me too much."
"You help me more," William uttered and started to drive away.
Brieanna doesn't know how to act around him anymore. She's quiet shy that she's indebted to him. At some point, she thinks they were destined to meet. How does a stranger save her like they already knew each other?
"Do you surf?" He asked all a sudden that snapped Brie from thinking.
"Hmm...no, I don't really."
"Well, know how to?" He asked again.
"Uh... no."
William flashed a smile. Well then, maybe he can teach her how to. Maybe by then she'll figure out that there's so much in life that-
He stopped as soon as he realized how he sounded like. He can't even find life as that great. Even though he has everything he could ever need he still sees life as boring and evil yet... he's telling her that there's so much in life that she needs to experience?
Who am I kidding? William thought to himself.
They arrived at the market and the townspeople are very busy. Well, there are many tourists and surfers so it can't be helped. In this island, people always come and go.
"Do you think they won't notice that I'm not wearing anything under this shirt?" Brieanna asked looking down to her chest.
"They're not big so don't worry," William replied as he get out of the car.
Brieanna gasped in disbelief that William just said that! She then scorned as she opens the door and went out too.
William stood in front of Brieanna and then whispered to her ear, "Don't worry they're just fine."
After doing that he walked ahead with a grin on his face. Brieanna scoffed again, releasing a short gasp. She then stomped as she walk to catch up to him.
"So uhm what are we going to buy?" Brieanna asked.
William didn't answer, they just head inside a shop who sells clothes and accessories. He wanted to buy her new clothes that she can wear.
"Buy you clothes," he finally replied when they were inside already.
"Uhm you realize, I don't have-"
"I know. Pick anything you like but if you like wearing my clothes, it ain't a problem for me too," he said cutting her off.
"Tch! Listen, if I get back, I'm gonna work and then pay you. I'm going to list everything and pay you someday," she told him.
William smiled on her determination to do so but he doesn't want her to pay him.
"Do what you want to do. Now, get the clothes you need," he told her.
Brieanna looked around then looked at the price tags. It's so damn expensive she thought. She wonders if there are some place that has "ukay ukay" (a store that sells second hand apparels).
"Are there any ukay ukay store here?" Brieanna asked William.
"Uh... why?"
Brieanna moved closer to William. "The prices are too much," she whispered.
That made William lightly chuckle. This girl is really one of a kind, he thought to himself.
"I don't really know but we're in a hurry so I suggest you just pick whatever you want there," he answered.
Brieanna pouted as she head back slouching and stomping her way to the underwear section. She chose the cheapest ones possible. She took a set of seven panties, two laced and and two sports bras. Then she took two shirts and two shorts.
"Why didn't you take a dress?" William asked as the saleslady was scanning the items.
"Because I do not like to wear dresses," Brieanna simply answered.
"Then why did you wear one?" He asked again, referring to when she wore the white cocktail dress.
"It was supposed to be my funeral but then you... yeah."
William seemed to have sensed something different about that answer. He knows she likes dresses as much as she likes wearing shorts and oversized shirts. So, he hold on to her hand and pulled her to the variety of dresses.
"Will! I don't like-"
William threw her a shut-up look and she did shut up. He took a blue dress with some flower design all around the waistline.
"Put this on," he said, handing her the dress.
Brieanna made a whining face as she took it and went inside the fitting room. She put the dress on and looked at herself in the mirror. She sighed as she missed looking at herself with a dress in the mirror.
"If it fits then take it off and let's not keep the lady in the counter waiting." She heard William say.
She took it off then folded it. "It doesn't fit me."
William look at the expression on her face. He knows what that meant. He took the dress and drag her to the counter.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Please include this and these," he said.
Brieanna was shock to see a two pair of pajamas. Oh yes, she forgot about pajamas.
The lady packed it up and and William paid for it. She was about to take the bag when Will took her hand first. He hold her hand and with his other hand he took the paper bag.
They went back to the car and he put the bag inside. "Stay here, I'm going to get us food."
Brieanna nodded and so William went to get food.
After a while she got bored and so she decided to go out of the car. She went to a stall which was few steps away from the car, it was selling different fruits. She took an apple and smell it.
The apple in her hand is just the right one for her. Her mother used to tell her how to pick the right fruits.
"Hey! New here?" A feminine voice asked.
Brieanna turned to her right and saw a lady; a beautiful one. "If four days ago is new then yeah," she answered.
"Hmm... a new girl William brought here, huh?" The stranger asked.
Brieanna frowned hearing that. "Excuse me?"
"I'm Dianne, I'm a surfer. I'm a friend of Will," Dianne introduced herself. "I wanted to chitchat more but I have training. Say hi to him for me."
After saying that, Dianne went running to wherever she was heading. That was weird, Brie thought. She put down the apple while she looks at Dianne fading out of her sight. "What did that girl meant," she murmured to herself.
"There you are."
Brie heard William's voice and she turned to look at him.
"Do you want an apple?" He asked, looking at the still occupied Brie.
"H-huh?"
"What did she tell you?" He asked her instead of repeating his first question.
"Oh Dianne? Nothing... she just told me to tell you she said 'hi'," she answered him. "I'll head back to the car now."
William felt like Dianne had told her something that made Brieanna act like that. He looked at Brie walking to his car. It's too easy to read her yet nobody at her place could. Well, he gotta clear things later so she won't overthink and start stressing.

At the house Brieanna immediately changed her clothes. She hasn't returned his clothes because she wanted to wash it first before giving it back to him.After changing, she went out and head to the dining table. She sat down facing William who was already eating. She remember what Dianne told her.New girl William brought...She continues to think about it, totally forgetting that William was in front of her."You know you can ask me if it's really that bothering," William uttered, snapping her out of her thoughts.Brieanna blinked thrice and cleared her throat. She took some hotdogs and bread completely disregarding what he uttered.

"So you basically did that?" William asked Brieanna. "Duh," she said and rolled her eyes. "I did so many crazy things but yeah that video just posted online on itself and everyone thinks I'm a slut and that's just fucked up." William chuckled, thinking that there was really more to this girl. He wish he could bring back the Brieanna she was just talking about. They just finished the fifteenth round of the game and now the sun is setting. "So what about you? How come you're living alone?" Brieanna asked. "I'm all grown up. I'm twenty four for Pete's sake," William cooly answered that made her raise a brow and gasped. "You're five years older than me!" She exclaimed. Not in her wi

"Took you long to get some drinks," Brieanna said, eyes narrowed at William. Being all alone and waiting in a crowded place isn't her favorite at all. "Sorry, I was caught on something," he replied, sitting beside her and handing her the water bottle. "You look like you were enjoying the lanterns though." "Yeah, they do look nice. They seem to light up everything in this night market." "I bet it makes your heart melt." Does it? Well it kind of, she thought. She was used to dark places. The ones that she can think clearly while the soft breeze touches her face or the ones that makes her lonely is her favorite. Something like this feels new to her since it has been a while.

It was time to be on her own. Brieanna took a deep breath and blew it out. Yes, she met everyone already and they all seemed nice but it's a job. It all starts nice.As she enters the kitchen again she keeps a nervous smile, nibbling her lower lip as she makes her way to the big sink. She was not alone, she will be closely working with a married woman in her 30s or so, named Veron."It's okay to get all shaky and slow at first," Veron tells her. "I used to think I'll break every plate here. I ended up my first shift with five expensive plates broken."That does not help her at all. If she breaks a costly plate, that is probably going to cost her five days of working. She should be extra careful.And so Veron taught her everything she needed to know. She was also told not to throw every left overs. Veron told her to segregate it, from the foods that should go directly to waste and the meats and rice they can feed stray animals."Wow, the

Dinner was quiet and after it William waited for Brieanna to finish washing the dishes. He already prepared a contract and the rules they needed to abide in his house. When she finally finished, she gaze down the papers as she sits in front of him. "What are these for?" she asked him. "I forgot to give you the work contract and this on my right are the few rules I would like you to follow. Also if there are things you want me to follow you should list it so we can talk about it." Brieanna looked at the contract first, reading it as if she understands. Then she took a glimpse at William and to the pen he prepared. She reached for it and signed the contract. "Didn't take you the exact time to read it," he uttered. "Well if I did, I would still not understand all of it," she told him, putting the the contract and taking the rules. The first rule was not to enter the room that is not yours and never enter nor open t

Finally, Brieanna's shift has come to its end. She has done a terrible work today and she earn herself a cut from the knife earlier too. As she walks out of the resort, she decided not to go home early. There was nothing to do there, she will just get bored laying and gazing at her ceiling. So, she starting wandering around the town. The town is sure a livelier place at night than at morning. Vendors were busy putting up their stalls at the moment, the street foods were already set up and tourists like she once was were busy taking pictures everywhere. Her stuffs crossed her mind. Should she go dive in the water and retrieve her stuffs? She's sure there were no damage to them since she sealed it with plastic. Problem is, she will probably run out of air before getting to the bottom. Brieanna deeply sighed. If only that cold William didn't save her she wouldn't be in this town, thinking about how to live. "Ano... excuse me." When sh

Brieanna stared at William's hand. Has anyone ever reached their hands for her to take, like this stranger in front of her? Has anyone ever waited for her to catch up to them? She slowly raised her head and saw how desperate he was. "Why are you so eager to save me?" "Because you haven't seen the best in life yet, Brie. You've only seen the dark side of it. You can't tell the devils nor the angels that you've seen everything down here when you're just exploring one side," he replied. "Please, Brie. Let's go home." They stayed staring at each other as if the cold didn't bother them both. She sees it. The way her eyes are when she looks at the mirror. His ocean blue eyes were the same as her hazel ones. Dull. Finally, she turned her body around and got off the parapet. She placed her hand on his and he pulled her into a hug that made her eyes wide. "Damn you, Brie! Don't make me hold my breath like that again!" He was breathing heavily, ti

Richard and Willaim were glaring at each other for the longest time. Brieanna feeling uneasy with their atmosphere. She should say something! "Uhm..." "I didn't mean to intrude, bro. I thought she was single," Richard said. "I am--" "She is but she isn't here to date anyone." Okay, they were not allowing her to speak and William is just repeating what she said to him when she was new here. Dang, she's really that cold to him. Richard glances at her and she kept a thin smile which made his mouth turned up. She gaze at William and she instantly look down. His face was darn scary she swore she's going to die later. "Well, I have to get going. Nice meeting you uhm--" "William," he coolly said. Richard nods and turned to her, displaying a lopsided smile. "I'll see you around, Brieanna." If she could just pull Richard and let him stay talking to William while she makes an escape then

A year since that day I ran away from home and decided to die on an island. I had the perfect idea of the perfect death. It was not unsuccessful. In fact, the lost soul, Brieanna died and is still submerged down the ocean floor. I never retrieved my backpack, it's my grave. Today, I am just with my surfboard, staring at the vast horizon, a golden one. The sun was setting beautifully like that day when I decided it was my last day on earth. It's majestic. The only difference was right now, the waves are crashing into my feet and I was not at a high place and I want to live. A corner of my mouth lifted when I saw the wave I wanted. I ran towards and embraced the ocean, not minding if it was cold or warm. I dived. With my chest on my board, I paddled to the lineup, my take-off zone. I waited and when I saw the wave I want, I chased it, ride it the way I would enjoy. With a grin on my face, I hop on my surfboard again. When I glanced at the shore, there I s

Florainne's birthday finally comes and Brieanna could not be more happy. The past few days since she came here have been really intense. Yes, Viola never asked her to leave nor was she offered money. But seriously, every now and then, Viola would indirectly tell her to leave the mansion, leave her children and leave them be! Oh if she could just leave without Florainne getting angry at her, and if the mansion was not so far away from the exit, oh dirt! She would have left already! Every time when Brieanna and Viola get to be alone, the demon in Viola comes out. Earlier this morning at breakfast, they had greeted Florainne with a happy birthday. They all looked like a happy family but Viola and Miller were not okay and so was Viola with everyone. It also looks like Viola is aware but she just would not care. Today is a busy day since all the preparations and the decor needs to be done before six in the evening because that is when the guests wou

Their plane just landed and Brieanna's legs felt like they have lost their strength. All the time she spent on the flight was her praying and hoping William's parents won't eat her alive. As they walk out of the airport, Brieanna was heading towards the line up for taxi when William grab her arm, pulling her towards the other direction. When she face ahead, her eyes widened at the Batmobile limo. "Are we r-really riding that?" "Though it's old, yes we are," he replied, flashing her a smile. A middle-aged man greeted them, opening the door for them. Of course, William let her enter first because he is a gentleman. The inside smelt expensive and she isn't comfortable at all. "Why can't we just ride a taxi instead?" "There's no taxi going to our house. They are just not allowed there." "So that means if I want to run away, I would need to run a couple of meters away to get a taxi?" "I wouldn't use '

It has been a week since Florainne and Ashton's visit came to an end. Now that Florainne's birthday party was coming, Brieanna could not focus on her work and neither could she on surfing. She has been telling Evie that she's really nervous and whenever she thinks of it her heart would not stop pounding. "Can we just move our flight, William? Make it like the very night of the party?" "Nope, I already booked the flight. It's tomorrow, Brie." William gave her a thin smile. "It'll be alright. Viola is the only enemy at the house. I'm sure father and you will get along like how you got along with Flora." "But Rain is a sweet girl! Your father is your father! He is a man!" She groans, rolling her eyes as she sits abruptly on the chair. "They are your parents!" Now she remembers how she was close with her parents too. Her parents were awesome until that accident had to take it all from her. It's just sad. Suddenly she felt William wrap

William woke up with the indistinct chatter he is hearing. And when he opened his eyes, he groaned because of the sunlight hitting his eyes. Damn it! His head is throbbing! Slowly, he sits up, his eyes still closed. Then he hears laughter from outside that made his brows draw together. One was sure Brieanna's but the other sounds like Florainne. To be sure, he got off his bed but once he did he felt dizzy that made him pause touching his forehead. After a while when the spinning stops, he continues to walk. When he was out of his door his eyes widened at the sight of Ashton just coming out of the other room. The young man immediately bowed his head down to him. "Master William, good morning!" If Ashton is here then he was not wrong when he thought he heard Flora's voice. But how would they know this place? "When did you--" "Yesterday, master William. Miss Brieanna came running to the resort to greet Miss Florainne," Ashton explains. "S

The room Florainne chose really shocked Brieanna that she 'eh' loudly. Why would William's sister want to sleep with her? Does she plan to kill her in her sleep? Since it has been decided, the young butler Ashton moved Florainne's luggage to Brieanna's room. Then after that, he left them to put his things in his room, telling the little missy that if she needed anything just knock on his door. Wow! Brieanna didn't think personal butlers still exist. "I search this up and the internet says I will be closer to you if I sleep with you," Florainne suddenly explained. Now that she said that, Brieanna gets it. "But why would you want to be closer to me?" "You are William's girlfriend, aren't you Miss Brieanna?" "Oh! Yes!" she chuckles nervously. "And yo-you can drop the 'miss'. You can call me sister too if you like. I think that would be cute." "A sister..." Florainne whispers, moving towards the bed and sit

Brieanna just got out of the shower when she hears a loud bang outside. Startled by that noise, she immediately walk towards her door, opening it and sticking her head out. Then she saw William's door open which made her frown. "William!" She calls but there was no answer. Slowly, she steps out of her room with only her towel around her naked body. Brieanna went past the living room and saw everything was fine. But what was the loud shutting of the door? Did William just storm out without saying anything? Was there an emergency? So, she went back and in front of her room, she suddenly faced William's open room again. With curiosity in her mind, she stepped inside his room. Nothing was a mess except for the towel on his bed. "Maybe there was just some emergency at the resort," she mumbles, shrugging as she turns around. Just as she was about to step away, she hears a ringing which made her turn around. Then she saw

After spending three days in the City, the four of them together with Mochi returned to the Island at last. Now that they are finally back, Brieanna was better than when she left. When they got home, she immediately went out to surf. Oh, how she missed the cold water, the warm sun, and the waves! She feels really alive to be back here again, no worries in her head, no more heavy burden. As soon as she sees her wave, she chased it, ride it before it broke and dissolves entirely. Just after some minutes, she sees William with his board, paddling towards her who just finished riding one. Her prince coming to meet her in paradise. "You are getting better and better. The way you snap and turn, it's sure a unique one," William commented that made her smile. Even she is aware that she has improved a lot. "I don't know how I did that. I just know it's kind of the right time to do that. I think it worked." "It did work." "I spent al

Around six in the evening when the four of them gathered inside William's hotel room. What Brieanna did to cover up her love bite is put some plaster strips there, saying Mochi had accidentally scratched her. Evie seemed to believe it which relieved her. If Evie believes it so will the rest of her family. "So, what did you guys do?" Richard suddenly asked them that flustered Brieanna. "We went somewhere to get some hot and spicy ramen," William answered. Although he lied, it saved both of them. "There's a ramen place here? We should all go there together before we leave!" "We are having dinner at Brieanna's place! Don't be stupid, point one! We'd be full by then!" "Oh yeah, I forgot to ask what time the dinner was." She took out her phone from her pocket and texted Kendal. Just some seconds later, she got a reply that says eight. Judging from the hotel's location, they should go around seven twenty-five since for sure they'll be spending
