CHAPTER 51: CAUGHT IN HIS ARMS

"As much as I enjoy you staring at me, your boss is really heavy, and I'll really appreciate it if you help me." I gave Theo a disgusted look, which he laughed off. Despite the chilling temperature of the night, I stepped outside and walked towards them. My nose wrinkled when the rancid scent of alcohol reeked from Garren. "Garren has a high alcohol tolerance, but no man on earth would be able to stand still after twenty bottles of vodka," Theo blurted out while we're carrying Garren upstairs. He keeps on wobbling that gives us a hard time. He's also muttering gibberish that is really painful to the ears. I'm not getting paid enough for this. Most definitely, I don't recall having to take care of a inebriated man as part of my job description as a nanny. "Why did he even consume liquor that he couldn't handle?" "Hear! Hear! This bastard should be thankful that he has me," Theo responded, tooting his own horn. We resumed walking and are now on our way to Garren's room. Garren

CHAPTER 52: BOWLING

I looked at Garren in the distance. He's playing with his son in the living room. There's an effervescent smile plastered on his face. It seems like he doesn't remember a single thing about what happened last night. When we came across each other earlier this morning, he didn't ask me anything. He's not acting weird. Nothing changed. He still asked me to make him a coffee and give him medicine for his headache, which was certainly caused by the liquor. Fortunately, he drank the first coffee that I made. He didn't torture me by making me go back and forth to the kitchen just to appease his pathetic demands. I was alleviated. I don't know how to deal with him if he confronts me about the horrendous event last night. But come to think of it. I wasn't the one who put me in that situation, so why should I be mortified? If there is someone who should be appalled, it's him. "He's already melting with your stares." I averted my gaze when I heard someone speaking beside me. And i

CHAPTER 53: MOTIVE

"That was without a doubt a failure," Enzo jeered. "I know. You don't have to rub salt in the wound." "I was stating a fact. No need to get so worked up." He picked up the bowling ball and began demonstrating once more. "See how I'm holding it? If you want to have a decent honk, use fewer fingers, exaggerate a cupped hand, and jerk your arm up as fast as you can when you throw the ball." He suddenly went behind me and gave me the ball. He held my arm to guide me. But anyone who will look at us at first glance will assume that he's back hugging me. "Observe those arrows, dots, and, most especially, the foul line. You can use them to your advantage." I could feel his breath fanning on the skin of my neck. Despite our proximity, I didn't feel uncomfortable. Truth be told, I didn't feel anything. Unlike when I'm with Garren. A meter of distance with him is enough to put me on tenterhooks. I don't know if it's because Enzo exudes an amiable aura so I'm at ease with him, or if hi

CHAPTER 54: A DATE?

"You're going out with Enzo again?! Are you for real?!" My face screwed up with Lauren's vehement reaction after I told him that I would meet Lorenzo today. I already mentioned him to her before. I don't want her to nag at me for not telling her the recent updates about my life. "You don't have to scream like an unhinged banshee," I grumbled. She scoffed. "Shut up. But seriously, that Enzo guy is being suspicious as fuck." I knitted my eyebrows. "What do you mean?" "You two only met a month ago, but he's already being palsy-walsy with you. Anyone who's smart enough would know that he's not merely running after friendship. Enzo likes you, Cleo." I could already imagine the sly grin on her face while saying those words. "You know what else is a fact? It's that, anyone with a rational mind would not slag off my affinity with a man," I snapped back. I can't even think of a single proof that Lorenzo likes me. Lauren snickered. "I'm sorry, okay? But you can't blame me. He's reall

CHAPTER 55: AT THE END OF HIS TETHER

Despite my bewilderment, I keep a straight face. "Good evening, sir," I greeted him. He didn't respond and just continued staring dead at my soul. He's creeping me out. Thank heavens, the doorway is wide enough for me to pass by despite him being a huge obstruction. I walked past him silently. However, I haven't taken two steps when he abruptly pulled my hand, almost bowling me over. I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. "Do you need something, sir?" "Do you like my cousin?" His question caught me in the hop. I'm pretty sure the words "what the fuck" are written all over my face. I don't know what's up with him. He was ignoring me the whole week, and now he's on my way just to ask that ridiculous question. Have he lost his mind? I tried to take my hands back, but my efforts were in vain because he didn't even badge. I laughed awkwardly. "W-What do you mean?" Of course I know what he means. I could've answered no because that's the truth. I don't feel any romantic affec

CHAPTER 56: RECKLESS YET CERTAIN

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW "Before I forget, say hi to Cleo!" The smile on Garren's face faded in a flash. His son only mentioned Cleo's name... and he's already getting agitated. The woman's strange effect on him is riling him up. Cleo appeared on the screen and flashed a subtle smile, and God knows how much he hates how that made his heart prance. Despite his nerves raging, Garren still managed to keep a stolid face. His heart's erratic beating only ceased when he couldn't see her any longer, but deep within him, he longs to see her face even for a few moments longer. "What the fuck?!" Garren internally castigated himself. "Bye, dad! I'm going to prepare for school now! I love you." He smiled at his son. "I love you too, buddy." He washed his hands over his face out of frustration after the call ended. He hates it. He hates how Cleo can stir an unsettling feeling inside him with the slightest thing that she does. Suddenly, his mind took a trail down the memory la

CHAPTER 57: OFF THE WALL

"Did you swallow a rainbow? Your smile can already reach the Milky Way," I teased Greyson, who couldn't stop himself from smiling the moment he woke up. He giggled. "You can't blame me, Cleo. Dad will arrive today. I can't wait to see him." The smile plastered on my face faded like blazes. That's when I remember that it's Wednesday, which means Garren will arrive home any moment now. My two days of peace and solitude are about to come to an end. I put my smile back on and tousled his hair. "I'm pretty sure your dad misses you too. Now you should finish your meal quickly." He nodded fervently. "Alright!" After he took his breakfast, I let him rest and play with his tablet for a bit before we headed back upstairs so he could take a bath. While he's taking his time in the bathroom, I'm preparing his bag. All of a sudden, I felt my phone inside my pocket ringing. Surprisingly, Lorenzo's name flashed on the screen. I was quite shocked because he hasn't called or messaged me for the

CHAPTER 58: WING NUT

It has been three days since Garren arrived, and it's also been three days since my mind is in a mare's nest. He's been acting really weird. This time, I'm not even piling things on. This is not merely because of that abrupt change in the car seat plan, but the way he's been behaving as if he didn't leave me with a bunch of unsettled questions that night before he left. He's acting oblivious and indifferent. It's as if he hit his head against a wall and now has amnesia. For starters, he now talks to me like he used to before. That affable aura surrounding him when we were on Santorini and when he brought us to the amusement park suddenly came back. Mind you, oftentimes, he's the one who initiates a conversation. Like that time he drove us to his son's school, he asked how I've been doing! It wasn't supposed to be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that he stopped regarding my existence a month ago. But that wasn't the last time he acted as if he cared for my welfare. I was tr

CHAPTER 59: WHEELS OF HEART

"Where are we exactly heading, dad?" Greyson asked in the middle of the ride. Being this close with Garren again is enough to make me anxious. So I'm here in my seat and trying my best to make the slightest gestures. Gladly, Greyson is here to ease the tension in the air. "Picnic Grove. It's an hour ride from here," Garren answered. "You'll have a lot of fun there." The depressing silence returned as Greyson went back to playing with his iPad. "Have you ever been to a picnic before?" Garren blurted out all of a sudden. See? This is what I'm talking about. He initiates conversation with me, something that he stopped doing. "My parents brought me and my brother to a picnic before." I still responded because I don't want to appear snobbish. "What do you guys do when you're there?" "It's nothing fancy. We eat the foods that my mother cooks and then talk about some random things." A smile made its way on my lips, reminiscing about those simple yet happy memories—during those

CHAPTER 60: BUTTERFLIES

"Dad won once again!" My face contorted as Garren took down my last chess piece. The exasperation I'm feeling heightened when I saw the smug grin plastered on his face. God knows how much I want to tear off that arrogance in his face. After we got tired of ambling around the park, Garren took out some board games that he brought so we could idle away the hours. Greyson has been playing this game for two years now, so he's good at it. But what made me fall for that notion was because he defeated his father. Then the latter challenged me into a game. I also know how to play chess. And since it's been a long time since I played one and I kind of miss it, I took on his challenge. I was confident that I'd be able to defeat him because his son did. But he proved me wrong. Because in the two sets that we played, he defeated me in the most humiliating way possible. I was only able to take down three chess pieces of him from those two games. It turned out that he was just goofing arou
