• • • • •
"I'm so bored." I sighed as I lay down on the floor, spreading my hands and feet and moving them up and down, like a butterfly.
It's raining cats and dogs outside and I'm not in the mood of doing something else rather than laying down. It's making me sad since the rain will probably keep pouring and we can't go out today to buy something or go roam around somewhere.
But I'm guessing that it still wouldn't happen since we bought a lot yesterday and also, I'm too tired of dealing with those vicious stares and gossips.
Ugh, I should probably just sleep for the whole day. I love sleep so it shouldn't be a problem.
"Watch tv, then." He said without looking in my direction.
As always, Neal is still sitting on his office swivel chair, getting very preoccupied with some business of his. He's always busy. Doesn't he have time for himself?
For both of us?
Well, I mean, what's the use of staying together for three weeks if this is what's going to happen at most times? Getting-to-know-each-other? What a joke.
If I would have known that something as lame as this would happen, I should have moved the schedule and went to school.
If I could, then I would but I couldn't.
My nana told me that partners are given different schedules. There are some who would have their three weeks vacation with their partner after days or weeks or months after receiving the government notice. There are also some people who experience situations like mine. I don't know why but it's just how it is and no one can change it.
I glanced at Neal. It would be nice to know more about him. Like yesterday.
Yesterday.
The things about him that he has shared with me recently, I couldn't forget about it.
"I have a lot of girlfriends and I change them every day."
And what's worse is that he engages in sex with them? I didn't know that he was that type of person. I'm glad I asked him about it yesterday.
He is a dangerous pervert but I can't really judge him. He also told me that he was a delinquent at the age of sixteen. Maybe something happened to him for him to be that way.
Everyone has their own stories and for me to know and understand, I just have to know him more.
The things that I have discovered from him were just skin-deep. Though it was very helpful, it wasn't enough.
He's such a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
I really want to know him more. He has got me curious. Maybe he'll have time to at least answer a few of my questions, right? Then, I'll also ask him about yesterday.
"Why don't you tell me about yourself." He raised his head and looked at me.
"Like what?"
"Yesterday's continuation. I know that there's still more to it." Putting down the papers, he raised his arms and rested his elbows on the table, his chin leaning down on the back of his hands.
"You want to know how I had sex with them?" My eyes widen at him. What the hell?
"Ew! No!"
"Hm, I guess the best position—"
"Gross! Stop! I don't want to hear that!" The corner of his mouth rises into a goofy smirk, obviously making fun of me.
I sat up and gave him a death glare. Is this guy serious? Ew. It feels like I want to vomit garbage.
"Isn't that what you meant?"
"Heck no. What I want to know is how you felt when you have relationships with them. Do you have a crush on one of them?"
"No. They all know that there must be no strings attached. It was all just for fun."
"How many pussies have you break into?" I pressed my lips into a thin line. Was my question too straightforward? It sounded weird but I was really curious and I can't help it.
He isn't bothered by my question at all and answered, "I've lost count." That's probably a lot. Wow.
"I didn't really fuck all my past girlfriends. Just some of them when I wanna have some fun." He quickly added while I was guessing it on my mind.
My forehead wrinkled as I raised my head above. So it's at least, equal to or more than 200 women? Gosh.
"Only once or twice a week or month or never at all." He told me in an unusual defensive tone of his. Why is he telling me this?
It's not like I'm asking about it or anything. It's already in the past. I'm also not bothered by it so it shouldn't be a problem.
"When did you stop?" He sighed.
"When I was 18." 3 years ago when his mother died. His mother's death really did change him. I really want to ask him what really happened but I guess I've asked a lot already. I'll just wait for him to share his story with me. I'm willing to wait.
"Have you ever loved someone?" I looked down at him when he suddenly got startled by my sudden question causing his head to snap up at me.
"No." I sighed. Why do I feel relieved upon hearing that?
"How about you?" His expression is serious as his pair of emerald green eyes stare at me so deep that it gave me shivers down my spine when he spoke.
Shaking my head, I answered. "No."
"How about now?" It made me think. Now? I guess there's no one? Well, I do have a lot of suitors but there was no one that I liked and even loved. I do, love Josh but as my brother and/ or sister and nothing more.
"How about Neal?" A voice in my head said.
Neal? No way. It's impossible. He is a dangerous, pervert, and a tricky man! I could never love him. He's my opposite.
"I—"
"Never mind. I'm not forcing you to answer that." His gaze returned to the papers on the table. He's being weird again.
I ignored him and stood up. With small and slow steps, I went to the window that was behind him and peeked through the curtains.
It is still raining. Perhaps it would be fun playing something on this freezing day.
"Hey, let's play." I heard him turning his swivel chair around.
"Play what?"

Ready or Not Chapter 31: Ate Buba
Ate Buba• • • • •"If you want to be original, be ready to be copied."-Coco Chanel• • • • •"He acted really strange. What was he talking about? I am going to be the death of him? Why? Did I choke him? Of course not." I whispered while walking down the hall and into the elevator.Does he really hate choco floats for him to act that way? Maybe he was referring to it when he said something about his death or something or maybe he doesn't really want to share.Shouldn't be surprised when it's Neal.I decided to buy water for the both of us so I exited the room. He asked me where I was going but I just told him that I'll buy something so I forgot to ask if there was a cafeteria in this place or perhaps some store.Well, there has to be. It isn't impossible after all if there really is. Not in this company of his.I am now in t
Ready or Not Chapter 30: Indirect Kiss
Indirect Kiss• • • • •"As you were saying about a while ago?" Neal asked. He tapped the invisible dust on his dark-colored plain suit and fixed his necktie.He has a pretty good memory."Err, I forgot about it." I looked up at the floor indicator and luckily there was a 'bing' sound, signifying that we are on the sixth floor.We stepped outside and wow, I was amazed. There were a lot of models—men and women all around the place. They were in different clothes, the others going in and out of a room. I have also seen a lot of photographers--which I knew right away since they were carrying their cameras with them.They were all busy until someone saw Neal and greeted him and in just a split second, all eyes were on him."Good afternoon, sir!""Welcome back sirrrr!""Holly molly, it's
Ready or Not Chapter 29: Soykel
Soykel• • • • •"We're here."He said. I looked in front of us and saw a very huge company. There was a sign in front that's made of gold saying,"Davs? What does that mean? How do you read it?"It's actually The V's. Means The Valastro's. The Valastro's modeling company. It was technically my mother's company passed on to me. She made the name so I decided to keep it in memory of her.""Ohh." I didn't ask about it any further. We parked right in front of it, where a sign says 'for the family only.'Neal hastily went out of the car and went to my side. He opened the door for me again. I stepped outside and inhaled the scent of flowers that were nearby. I could tell that he really loves nature."I'll carry it." He said as he took the paper bags that I was carrying.What a gentleman.I followed
Ready or Not Chapter 28: DaV's
DaV's• • • • •I became speechless. Well, obviously Kira, the song is for you since you have requested it. But maybe what he really meant is the other meaning that I'm still trying to understand?"Thank you. That's...wonderful." That was all I could say. Sighing out of disappointment, he stood up from his seat and looked at me deep in the eyes as if trying to tell me something through staring that he can't possibly say out loud but failed in the process.He sighed once again. I tilted my head to the side, confused by what he was trying to convey to me."You are still confused. But not for long. I'll show you so that you'll understand.""Understand what? Why don't you just tell me? I'll listen.""You'll listen but you won't understand. You'll have doubts if I would tell you so it's best if I'd show it to
Ready or Not Chapter 27: Sing Me a Song
Sing Me a Song• • • • •"Which should I press first..." I placed my hands on the thingy, imitating the move that I have seen from movies, and pressed it smoothly.It made a loud sound, making me spun around to check the door and sighed in relief when I don't see him there.I pressed another again and stopped when I've realized that something is missing. "Emotions!" I blurted. Oh right, I almost forgot about it.I laughed at my forgetfulness and suddenly remembered Kousei from Your Lie in April.He was beyond amazing even though the music he played were all classical songs which I'm not totally familiar with but still, the way he played the piano, it was full of emotions. He looked like a rockstar. He was banging his head from different angles and pressing his hands on the piano like he was drumming. It felt like something inside me has connected with Kousei while watching hi
Ready or Not Chapter 26: Curiosity
Curiosity• • • • •After all, it surely is still rare seeing him like this so without a second thought, I grabbed the opportunity and did as what he had told me to. It was not long after time has passed and he was fast asleep."Cutie." I smiled at him. His action was so precious that I want to just protect him from anything bad that could taint his innocence - which is already impossible since he has already chosen a path, but even so, I want to bring back the genuineness that he once had. If he doesn't want to, then I'll find and do it my way.I placed both of my hands on my chest and squeezed myself more into him. He moved closer to me too and tightened his arm that was wrapped around me as I close my eyes and fell asleep.• • • •"Old man? Where are you?" My voice echoed through the big and empty space while I
