Chapter Fifteen: Her Choco's Real Parent
Last Updated:
2021-07-11 19:20:18“Vince Aldred Garcia. Sleep it off and get her out of your head, please.” He scolded himself as he can’t able to sleep while thinking about her. He turned around his body almost three times in a row on his very own masculine king-size bed.
Thinking over a girl often is not a hobby of his. However, it just reminds him of all the instances that he always meets her. It started when she met her in the Chemistry class and then so on. Yet, contemplating the first thought. He really was the one who gets into her first.
Maybe because he was a little bored, and she was there as his doll to play with his clingy little flirtatious game. That he disturbed her sleepy and silent world. Though she ignored him two times consecutively.
Thinking it over again, the instances that happened to them are like fate. Specifically, when she’s the one who found his little boy in the parking lot. Speaking of Chippy, he misses his playful buddy.
The last time they were together was in the library. He brings him whenever he works there. Despite his supervisor disallowing pets inside the library. But because he is her favorite part-timer, Chippy is the only one who can roam around in his working area.
One of these days, he surely meets him again with his newfound parent. That pretty schoolmate of his, Cara.
.........
She woke up feeling awesome. She noticed her twinkly face when she opened her eyes, looking up at the nice ceiling of her room. While being fascinated by the dream that she had last night, even though she forgot it. But she believes it was a wonderful dream she ever had as she can’t able to move her body after a minute of waking up.
When she realized she needs to go to school this early so she immediately rises from her bed and gets herself ready for today’s classes.
She headed down and straight to the kitchen to feed herself alone. Her parents went again on a business trip to another Asian country.
While eating her breakfast, she remembered Jean will fetch her today. She can’t have a ride as her car needs a check-up. So she asks her best friend to get her before she heads straight to her work. And because they’re both going to school.
“Cara Nathalia, my dear. I cannot fetch you today because I have an urgent matter to do before going to work. You may rent a cab to go to school. I’m sorry.”
Her best friend nicely texted her saying, she has no choice but to ride in a taxi. Though her friend knows she hates the smell of it. So, taking a bus is her last option.
She’s ready for school. Walking alone on the road is really not her thing. She always used to leave in a car. Even those days that she doesn’t know how to drive. Because her parents hired a bodyguard at the same time driver for her.
After learning how to drive and getting her license, she begged her mother to allow her to drive and get rid of her bodyguard. As she wants to live her own free life. Her parents allowed her later to think that she was no anymore a child.
She arrived at the bus station. A familiar car suddenly halted in front of her. The driver opened down the car window and offered her a ride with his familiar sweet smile.
“Hey, Cara. Get in. I’m heading to school. Let’s go together. Taking a bus is not an option today, you will be late for your classes.”
Before thinking about anything else. His inevitable charm easily fooled her. She realized she was already inside his car, embarrassing herself to death.
When she’s back to her senses after an awkward silence of getting herself in his car. She remembered the thing she was thinking about earlier when this car halted in front of her.
“Do you have a pet? I mean, are you taking care of a dog or any kind of animal?”
She suddenly remembered this car that Choco chased after the last time she found him. The last two digits of this car’s plate number and the color of it matched in her memory. She’s not that sure about it. But for her peace of mind, she finally asked the owner of the car.
“Why did you ask?” He simply replied.
“I found a wandering puppy last time at our school. I adopted him knowing the fact that he has an owner and had lost by whom. Sad to say, I have to return him to his rightful owner even though I’ve grown to love his cuteness and playful charm.” She said to him, feigning sad though she had the feeling that he really is the owner of Choco.
“Well, you can have him if the owner did not seek for him. As long as you can take care of him with your love for animals. I’m sure, the owner can surely be happy for him.”
So, he gave her the authority to adopt his puppy for her. Does he know already? Or she was mistaken that he is the owner of her adopted pet.
“Well, never mind my asking. Anyway, back to the topic you’re going to ask me about on the project. What about that?” She just ignored her thinking and change the topic to lessen the awkwardness inside his car.
“Can we talk about it later? I want to ask something that’s not related to our subject. Do you have a boyfriend?”
She knew it. She already leads him out of such a topic, but there he goes leading into an awkward topic that she hates the most. Yet answering it may satisfy his being nosy.
“Can we also talk about it some other time? I think we’ll be late for school.” Thank goodness they arrived. She chose not to answer it leaving the question on his face as she got off the car.

She went straight to her first-period class, leaving the guy in a rush. As she felt embarrassed on the way she left him without a word of thank you for giving her a ride.

“Yeah, she’s wearing a costume of Maleficent. Can’t you imagine that? When she found out about her blind date, is none other than, me? She walked out and run away on the road, still wearing her cape and headdress. She embarrassed herself in front of me. What a pity.” “That's because she’s not even equal to your handsomeness. What a pathetic woman.” The girl he doesn’t know her name wearing a very short skirt and cheerleading uniform with her lipstick on commented on him. While waiting for Cara, a group of cheerleaders joined his table at the cafeteria. “We actually fit if I wore the costume of Hulk.” The girls laughed and giggled at his joke.

What happened in the library has nothing to do with his purpose of following her a while ago. And as far as he remembers, he’s just a good Samaritan who helped her when he saw her suddenly faint in front of him. “The stalker. Are you the one stalking me at the library?” Cara answered his question frankly. He did not know what she was talking about. The important thing he intends to ask her about got suddenly switched. He wants to blame his slipped tongue for it. “Right, let’s clarify the misunderstanding. First, I wasn’t the one stalking you at the library and earlier in the corridor. Second, why do you think someone was stalking you like you’re always being paranoid? And last, what really happened to you at the library? Do you have a death threat? I just found you looking frightened and when I came near you, you suddenly fainted.” She’s not suspecting him. She just needs someone to blame for her little absurdity. “Maybe because you happened to be there twice when I thought there w

She also remembers the dream she had with his face. There have some points of his character that look the same as the man’s character she dreamed of. And the feeling that she had in her dream is being the same as this man in reality. “I’m good. Don’t bother.” She answered him, pretending like she had no interest. Getting back to her right senses. She ignores the feeling she had earlier. “Um, if next time you want to sleep in the library, you can hide in that room where no one can bother you.” He insisted, displaying his striking and hypnotizing beam. As she easily swayed by it, discerning to fall on his hands again. “Even you?” She asked in her thoughts. “Where’s the place?” But she uttered a different question, expecting her thoughts to happen. “Follow me. And ask no more questions. Only me and

Her school attendance was almost perfect to where she can slack off anytime. Not that bad in her grades if she will be absent at the acquaintance party. She thought so. “Hey, don’t tell me you’re not interested to come?” Her friend’s mind is more advance than her. “Hmm, I’ll be interested if you tell me who will be your date first.” For a very long time, she was her friend, not even at any moment did she remembers her friend was dating any guy. Or maybe her love life was so private for her to know it, even if she was her best friend. Though her friend has five years ahead of her, it is not a reason for her not to tell her about her dating the opposite gender. “I’ll introduce him to you soon, don’t be so excited.” Oh, really. Her eyes broadened in surprise. “Thank God, finally! You allow me to know your dating status.

She can't believe it, this is not yet the time to tell her mom about her relationship with Vince. But her mom's ear was like a dolphin's.

"I don't want to end this." She whispered in her mind when Vince ceased for a moment. Like a wild tigress, she drew him with her alluring play. Unlike those memories in the past that her mind brought, what they are doing right now is not in her wildest hopes to happen. This is very new to her. The emotion she feels rages inside her like a beautiful disaster blasting suddenly. "Oh please, penalize me." She again whispered but in his ear, permitting him to do what he had to from the start of his zeal. She offered herself to him. They filtered those negatives and allowed themselves to give in to their bursting emotion. Allowing themselves to be driven by each other's embrace is the cure for all the wounds they had in the past. She now had this feeling of blaming their parents for what they incurred in their minds because of that thoughtless remorse. Even when she remembered, everything that happened wasn't their fault. Reminding herself of selfishness is not her thing anymore. When she r

And as far as she remembers, they were as good as strangers again when he avoided her every moment she ran into him. Nevertheless, she still found her way to him again when her feet brought her to the hidden room at the library. She looked like she was hypnotized after she read his message. Perhaps she admits to herself that she is missing him. Heading her stride like a fool walking near the end section of the library, she is excitedly feeling nervous. A mixed emotion is raging inside her. She was going inside the hidden room when she sensed a strange atmosphere. She saw Vince on his back and quickly turned around when he heard her footsteps as she entered the room. She suddenly remembered the eyes of someone who was the reason for her fainting from the last time she had been hospitalized. She wa

He was planning to come home early, but he felt uneasy about her sister exhibiting her brat-like attitude toward Cara. Looking from afar while walking near them, he saw them looking familiar to each other, but he sensed Cara's face looked like she was just being nice to her sister's undefined character. As if she already knows how to handle her. "I knew you'll find it hard to make friends here easily knowing your snot character, my dear sister. My appreciation for Cara because she could accommodate your type." He bluntly remarked on her sister the instant he went near their table. He was very annoyed by his thoughts of her sister's hidden plans. "Hey, your words!" But Cara understood his words clearly like a harsh brother to her sister.

“Hey, Vinci!” He knew it. His world will be a mess again because of her. She always annoys him. But he found himself still walking near her table with his today’s lunch. Or maybe he just wants to warn her about being his clingy sister. “From now on, you are not my sister.” Her eyes sparkled like she was waiting for the moment that he will finally cut their connection from each other. He thought, she adores him as her older brother, but why does she look very happy? “Okay. I will tell Dad that we are not siblings anymore because you are now my boyfriend.” As if she can tell it. Her sister is all bluff. He knows her very much to think that she is the more childish. He ignored her and begin to swallow his spoon full of rice and a piece of fried chicken as his viand. “I am not kidding. Since no one knows that you are an adopted son of the school director here. And no one knows that I am his daughter. You can be my fiancé.” She lowered her voice for the reason that others might hear them

“From now on, I am your dad and she is your mom. We are your family now. Forget everything bad that happened in your past. Only remember the good memories with your real parents who gave birth to you. It’s the only thing we cannot change for you. You are only seven-year-old but I know you understand what I mean since you are a smart kid.” The memory he recalled was when his foster dad talked to him the first time after he went with them as his new family. As he also wanted to forget everything that had happened in the accident with his real parents, he followed his dad’s word for him to escape from it. He can’t admit to himself that it was his fault. And his inner side was blaming someone he also treasured from his childhood memories. When he realizes now, he undeniably forgot everything in the past for him to save, condemning the person from his subliminal dark ego.

“You’re going to meet my very first childhood friend. I remember her. The only friend I have before I became your brother.” He finally dared to admit to himself that he forgot his real childhood memories and Cara had a great part of it. And his sister on paper, Lizzy, who’s just arrived from abroad, will be his starting point to speak to her. “At last! I’ve been wanting my whole damn life to meet one friend of yours. Does she know you’re the son of the school’s director? Although I’m the real child of them, you were the first child of our parents the moment they adopted you.” He already knows what she’s thinking as if he knows how their conversation going to end. “That’s why I need you to not be yourself if you meet her, got it?” Because he dislikes her character of being noisy and childish. “Do you like her? You know I can’t shut my mouth when I’m being excited.” That he was expecting. “I’m begging you, please, my pretty little sister?” He implored like a real sweet older brother.
