It's already past eight o'clock in the morning, the sun is up, its sun rays hits inside Georgina's room. She felt uncomfortable and cover her whole body with a comforter turning to left side, opposite of the window where the sun's rays came in. Amidst of her peaceful sleep, a loud banging from outside the door disturb it. She tries to ignore it, but after a few minutes, her phone and alarm clock rings, which irritates both ears.
"Argh! Damn it, can't you just let me rest for a day?" She sits down with annoyance—tousle her hair.
"Wake up, idiot. Someone is here for you." It's Warren's voice.
She looks at the alarm clock and turns it off.
"It's only past 8:00 a.m., but someone came to disturb me? Who has the guts besides that annoying Margarette Martinez?" She mumbles.
"Gina? Are you awake? Should I call Big sis Marga to co—"
"Don't bring another disaster inside my room, I'm awake thanks to all of this disturbance..." she said in a sarcastic tone before standing up and head straight to the bathroom to do her morning rituals.
After a few minutes of fixing herself, she went outside the room. Her eyes roam around the living room from the second floor, but no one is around. It's too silent, as if there's no people inside the house. She walks downstairs and keeps looking around again in case they are just near to take some walk, but still no one is in her sight. 'One of Warren's prank to wake me up again?' The only thought inside her mind while massage both temples to calm herself.
She's about to walk back to her room when someone throws a coin. It hits the back of her head. Her left hand touch the back of her head while turning to where it came from with an intense menace aura. Both eyes almost pop out when a familiar man with a wide grin on his face welcomes her. It made her speechless and just stare at him with a question mark on both eyes.
"I know I'm handsome, don't make it obvious, Hon."
Those words make her came back to reality as a steam came out from both ears and nose. She clenches both fist—run towards his direction to grab its collar. It's none other than Jaceriel Yuson, the stealer she just known. Georgina's eyes tell how annoyed and mad she is from seeing the man in front, but he answers him with a playful laugh.
"What the hell are you doing here? Who told you where I live? Answer me!" She almost shouts, tightening the grip.
"Hon, calm down. Is this a new way to greet your lover?"
"L-lover? In your dreams..." She pushes him away, giving a death glare.
"Maybe you're a real sadist Hon,"
"W-what? Argh! Please get out of our house..." Her index finger point on the front door still restrain herself from anger.
A long, deafening silence lingers between the two. They just stare at each other, but in the end, Jace looks away and gives a force laugh with hurtful eyes. She notices it so she looks away too—clench both fists. In the middle of silence, they heard a footstep from someone. Before she can even look behind, someone hit her head, it's a loud smack.
"What the hell are you doing, Georgina? I invite him here. How dare you push away my visitor?"
The moment she turns behind, a death glare from Marga welcomes her, instead to be intimidated, she glares back at her.
"It hurts."
"Of course, I purposely hit you hard."
"Y-you... How dare you hit m—" before she can finish the word, Marga pinch her right ear. It made her winced—try to remove her hand.
"A-argh! Let go of me. You damn idiot dog..."
"Apologize to him,"
"W-why should I? Argh! It hurts," she shouted out of her lungs.
"Jace came here and cook a breakfast for you, but look how you behave yourself, show some gratitude." Marga shouts in front of her ear.
"Argh! Okay, I'll apologize so, let go of me."
Marga gave a sinister smile and let go of her. For a few seconds, they stare at each other, but in the end Georgina loses to her and turns back to where Jace stands.
She gives him a force smile. "Sorry,"
"It looks like my little cousin here didn't know the word sincere..." She flinch when Marga chuckle.
"Damn, I'm sorry. Why don't we sit on the sofa and talk there instead?"
A wide smile form to Jace's lips, which made her roll both eyes.
"Good. I have to see my friends outside so, both of you take your time here."
They follow Marga through their gaze while walking outside the house. Another silence came in between them, but Georgina give him a sign to follow her into the living room. She sits on a single sofa while Jace is on the long sofa and eyes glued on her.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?" She crosses her leg, looks straight into his eyes.
"I want to see you,"
"Then?"
"I miss you..."
"You're here to annoy me? I surrender, okay? You win." Jace laugh, it's quite a pure genuine laugh that made her look away.
"Don't get mad, Hon. I'm not here to annoy you, but I can't help it. Your reaction is hilarious."
Her blood continues to rise as the man keeps laughing to death, holds his belly. She saw a magazine in front of the table and grab it without even thinking twice. She's about to throw it towards him but a continuous doorbell from outside came. Both of them look at each other with questioning but instead of talking to him, she stands up to see who is it this time. Despite of being a Student Council President, only few people know her house. She never invites someone unless it's necessary.
"Do you expect a visitor other than me?" Jace asked.
"I didn't expect you to come. You're an unexpected visitor. The same goes for that one." She answers as she stands up and walks towards the front door to open it.
Both eyes widened in surprise as soon as the door open. The one standing in front of her is Jin Carson, with an awkward smile. Behind him are Akisha and Giovanni Javier, who emit an ominous aura. A chill run downs through her spine as soon as their gaze met each other. She looks away in nervousness and turns to Jin instead.
"Hi. I'm back." Akisha said in cheerful tone—runs towards her to give a hug.
"A-Aki... W-what are you doing here?"
"Big bro, let me see and play with you today, but he needs to come along so, it's fine, right?"
"A-ah..." She look to Jin but he just nod his head. "O-okay,"
"Hon, who is there? Why you take too long to let them in?" Jace said, stop behind her just to see the three who look surprise too.
"J-Jaceriel Yuson?" Jin said in surprise.
"A-ah... You should come in first." They move aside to let them in.
She didn't know the reason, but her heart beat faster than usual when Giovanni step inside and stop beside her. All she can do is look down, not meeting her gaze to lessen the tension.
"Oh, prepare yourself. We're going somewhere." He said before continuing to walk inside.
"Is it a secret date? Hon..."
"Can't you read the atmosphere, Mr. Stealer? Damn, let's go inside." She close the door and went to the living room.
An awkward silence echoes on the living room. Even the child looks at them with confusion, but Georgina turns her gaze away. She didn't know how to explain everything to her if ever she asked. In the middle of silence, Auntie Sita came holds a tray, there's a glass of mango juice on it.
"T-thanks Auntie,"
"Enjoy your drinks. Tell me if you need something." Georgina nods her head.
She's about to get a glass of juice when Akisha talks. "Sis Gina, I wonder who is this man? It's the first time I saw her and why is he calling you Hon?"
No words came out of her mouth. Instead, she grabs the glass of juice with both hands as it trembles in nervousness. It also feels like she emits a cold sweat.
"Hi, little child. I'm Jaceriel Yuson." He said. "I'm her boyf—"
Before he can finish those words a two pairs of hands cover his mouth. One glares at him with a worn look and the other one begging not to say a single word anymore. The only thing they do the same is force a laugh. Jace, on the other side who's quick witted, understands the situation and removes both of their hands.
"A-aki, he's a friend of mine."
"Friend?"
"He's a boyfriend like Jin. Do you understand what I mean, right?"
"Oh, okay." Akisha smile at them and drinks the juice.
Georgina drinks the juice in one gulp as the sweats fall down from her temple. It's not like she wants to lie to Akisha, but it's really not an excellent decision to tell her in this situation. She's fond of both of them and wishes them to be together for a long while, but it will never happen again. It takes time, but now, they need to lie or it will hurt her more than them.
"W-well, I'll take a bath so, wait for me here."
"Hon, can I come with you?"
All of them turn they look towards Jaceriel who gives a puppy eyes on her. She heaves a sigh and tousles his hair out of nowhere.
"Of course,"
