Sudden Turn

Being indebt.

That's not on my vocabulary. Bothering someone and asking favors had NEVER happened in my entire existence. 

But Vera Nazarian  just slapped her belief hard on my face: To every rule there is an Exemption.

And I meant Arthur Axel.

Sure, my father is an exemption. He just gave me this Existence I'm talking about. Had I not confirmed he's my own flesh and blood, I wouldn't be an obedient girl with my eyes open, mouth close, all ears on his sudden and unbelievable declaration:

"You'll have your babysitters."

Really?! Babysitters?! Oh, come on! Do I look like a five-year old kid who needs a babysitter?! 

Okay, fine. It's escorts, not babysitters. I edited his line. But that's not the point!

 Why would I have these escorts?! Bodyguards?!

And take note, there's an S!

But King Arthur does what he wants and he gets it. In just a snap of his fingers.

Yeah. My freedom is gone. 

Just yesterday, I was still dodging bullets, kicking butts, catching criminals. I was still running towards danger, my comfortable zone.

Now I'm caged with this five goons.

But then, there's this Sudden Turn.

"The moment our eyes met, I knew... I want you."

"In case, a foolish like you forgets: I am never not thinking of you."

"Just when I thought I was saved.. I'd fallen for you."

"Simula't sapul, ikaw. Hanggang ngayon."

"It took me years to get over her.. then I met you."

About time when Amelia Earhart started pounding my heart, quoting: It is the woman who chooses the man who will choose her.

Given that I'm a girl, this quotation did very much suits me. It's just that.. 

I've never been in love.

Or so I thought.
