MasukShe turned to him and said, "Well! Grandma's not home. She is probably out, playing mahjong. Maybe she will be home later after dinner." Alexa apologetically explained the best she could.
"It's all right! No bother, I will be in the country for a while. We will have more chances to meet in the future." He told her inspecting her small home.
"Cool! How about you make yourself at home. Give me a couple of minutes to take a shower and change then we can go, alright?" She did not wait for his reply. She took it for granted that he would agree.
Alexa had to hurry, or she was going to be late for her appointment. She went to the only bathroom in the house and took a shower as fast as she could. It did not take her long. It took less than fifteen minutes, and she finished her shower.
She turned off the running water and was ready to dry herself when she realized that she forgot to bring a towel with her.
"F***k me!" She mumbled. She needed to think quickly.
"Ramon!... Ramon, can you hear me?" She called from inside the bathroom.
Ramon was in deep thought and barely heard her calling. "Alexa! Did you call me?"
"Yes! Can you do me a favor, please! I forgot to bring a towel. Can you get me one from the room?"
What choice did he have, "Okay? Where in the room?" He yelled back as he entered the small room that Alexa had been sharing with her grandmother.
"Right behind the door, there's a pink towel hanging. Can you hand it to me, please?!"
'That was easy enough. I didn't have to go digging in some cabinet or something.' Ramon thought. He grabbed the towel then handed it to Alexa, who was peeking from behind the bathroom door, looking all fresh and wet.
"Thanks Ramon! You are a lifesaver." She yelled through the door.
A couple of minutes later, she came out of the bathroom, with only a towel wrapped around her body. As she was walking toward the room, being bashful, she said, "Sorry! I did not have a choice. I'm not trying to seduce you, alright?"
Ramon, who was busy playing with his cell phone, looked up and immediately blushed due to the scene in front of him. He tried to divert his gaze and look down. But from the corner of his eye, he could still see her beautiful, long, bare legs as she walked by.
Alexa was walking as fast as she could, almost running when she slipped because of her wet slippers that were on her feet. She almost landed flat on her back, but Ramon was quick to catch her before it happened.
Ramon banged his knee against the coffee table, and it gave way as he caught her. While being held by Ramon, Alexa fell right on top of him, as they landed on the ground looking cozy.
Alexa scrambled to get up as fast as she could, not realizing that part of the towel was underneath Ramon.
"Oh! Shit! WTF!" was all she could say before running to the safety of her room butt naked.
Ramon; "^-^"
Alexa was so embarrassed that as soon as she reached the safety of her room, she locked it and stood behind the door, with a racing heartbeat. 'It's okay, I am safe now. That was a close call. I can calm down now'. She mumbled to herself while she was massaging the left side of her chest, trying to control her emotions that were currently going haywire.
Ramon's face turned all red from embarrassment. He did not expect something like that to happen. He needed to do something, or Alexa would not want to come out of the room. She still had an upcoming appointment with someone.
Ramon walked towards the bedroom and knocked at the door. "Alexa, it's me... I only want to inform you that I did not see anything, alright? If you are feeling embarrassed because of what happened, think nothing of it. Remember that you have an appointment, and we need to get going."
Alexa heard every word Ramon said. However, she hesitated to reply. She took a couple of breaths; 'inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale,' when she felt calmer, she then replied, "Alright! I will be out in a minute. Oh! Ramon, thank you! Hehe!"
Alexa did not have much time to doll herself up, so she put on a nice-collared polo shirt, dress pants to match, and flat shoes. Once that was done, she tied her hair up into a bun, to make her look a little more professional. She was about to get out when she thought of something else that could make her look more mature. She took out from the drawer a pair of clear glasses and put them on.
She looked at herself again and made sure that everything was in place. She even somewhat looked like a professor. [Hahaha!] She laughed at her image in the mirror; it reminded her of the English Teacher she had back in High School. [An old maid]
Ramon was surprised by her transformation, Alexa now looked prim and proper. He had to blink a couple of times to ensure that he was not hallucinating. "What's with the get-up? Do you have to dress like a spinster, as he laughed at her." He jokingly commented for Alexa to feel at ease.
"Whatever! I was trying to look professional, not like a spinster. However, whatever works is fine for me whether it's "professional" or "spinster" doesn't matter." Alexa replied to Ramon's banter.
"Hahaha! You are still as funny as ever. You have not changed a bit. The only difference now is..."
Ramon did not finish what he was about to say. Alexa might take it the wrong way, and he did not want that to happen. He still had a favor to ask, and if he made her angry, she might change her mind.
"Let us get out of here. I don't have much time left." Alexa threw her arm over Ramon's shoulder, acting like nothing had happened earlier to ease the tension building between them again.
"Let's go then!" Ramon placed his arm on Alexa's shoulder in return, and they walked out of the house, laughing together.
While Alexa was waiting for Ramon to finish whatever he was doing in the bathroom, she decided to call her cousin Andrea. Ever since they were little girls, they were always so close like two peas in a pod.They always told each other whatever was going on with their lives.For example, when Andrea was kissed by a boy from school that she did not like, although it was on the cheek, she felt annoyed and violated like she had lost her virginity.Even as adults, nothing has changed between them except for the fact that they now both have jobs, and they have grown up but not apart.Andrea's phone rang a couple of times before she answered. "Hello! Where are you? Have you started having your dinner now? ""No, not yet. Andrea, are you still in the hotel?" Alexa asked with curiosity in her tone."No, why? I just left, and I am on my way to my next appointment. What's up?" Andrea stated."Nothing much, I'm inside Ramon's hotel room and waiting
While they were inside the room, Ramon and Alexa were also looking out through the peephole in the door to observe what was going on outside.Ramon could not believe what he was seeing.The man and the lady were still waiting outside for them to come out of the room. He motioned Alexa to go and look while stepping aside to give her space.Alexa peeked and the two were still waiting for her at the door. She thought they were hilarious, and she could not contain her from laughter which was heard outside..."What is so funny?" Ramon asked Alexa who was sitting on the floor laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach."Shh! Be quiet; I need to figure out a way to make them leave.."Alexa went in deep thought and then asked, "How about we let them hear us making out?" She said it straight face indicating her full intent…Ramon responded with "Huh...?"Alexa was thinking naughty thoughts again.. She wanted to make the two people
Ramon decided to play along with Alexa's charade, and he did well. " Yes, babe! Whatever you want, I'm in your command." He kissed the top of her head while smelling her hair at the same time. "Hmmm...Honey, let's go to our room now!" He lifted Alexa, carried her like a princess, and stormed out of the elevator." Oh... Sweetheart, I want to be with you." She wiped the imaginary sweat from her bosom."Ahhh... I feel so...hot and ready.." Alexa made sure her voice carried loud enough for the two to hear as they passed by.Antella thought to herself, 'Watch it, man, she is mine. Damn!'The Prince said to himself upon hearing Alexa's conversation,'Sh*t, who is this ugly looking guy, he's annoying as hell. Do you think I'm going to let you have my future wife? I don't think so!'Prince Alexander did not show his jealousy. Instead, he stood still in shock, looking like one of those Greek statues... Lady Antella was utterly shocked by what she heard.
"Hello! This is Lady Antella speaking, whom may I ask?" She said it loud and clear for Alexa and Ramon to hear. As if that was not enough, she put the phone on a speaker just as the other person was about to say something.Prince Alexander saw what she did, grabbed the phone, and turned it off as fast as he could before Alexa was able to hear what the person on the other end of the line was saying."WTF!!!" She kicked Prince Alexander's knees, and then she tried to grab her phone out of his hands. The effort was worthless, Prince Alexander is a head taller than Lady Antella, and she could not reach the phone at all when he raised his hand high up onto the sky.She forgot that she was a Lady and swore like a truck driver.You f*cking assh*le, you SOB give me my phone back, or I will make you pay."You want your phone? I'll give it back to you, but you need to promise me that you will fly back tonight and not meet her in person." Prince Alexander neede
While Alexa was acting crazy and pushing all the buttons, the elevator stayed wide open for everyone outside to see what's she's doing. Ramon was about to burst into laughter, but he did not want Alexa to get mad at him, so he held back his laughter as long as he could.Finally, after a few seconds, the elevator door closed and started moving up. Only then did Alexa feel relief and slammed down on the floor like a rag doll. "What a shitty day!First, my chance of getting signed as a trainee has gone down the drain. Then, of all the people I run into.Ithad to be that pervert's assistant." Alexa loudly complained to Ramon who's turning red from holding his laughter...Ramon couldn't hold it any longer, he finally gave in and laughed out loud while pointing at Alexa who's still slumping at the floor of the elevator. He laughed so hard that he was in tears.Alexa took out one of her shoes and threw it at Ramon who was still laughin
"You! Andrea!Where in the world have you been?"Alexa yelled as the door opened.The person right in front of Alexa was her cousin Andrea who had been missing in action, and Alexa had been trying to contact her for a whole week without luck." Your phone had been unreachable, and when I went to your house, Aunty told me you're on a business trip abroad. What's up with that?" Alexa was glaring at Andrea with anger as she scolded her for not calling her back."Give me a hug before you bombard me with questions!" Andrea pulled her cousin in an embrace.As she hugs Alexa, she looks over and realizes that a man is standing right behind Alexa. A very handsome man who looks perfect in his outfit.Alexa, who is this hunk?Is he your newfound boyfriend?" Andrea was half kidding, but she was shocked to hear Alexa's reply. "What if he is my boyfriend? You got a problem with that!"Alexa pulls out from Andrea's embrace.She pull
