We continued talking until one in the afternoon. She probably saw that I look tired so she asked me to go to one of their guestrooms. And before leaving me alone in this room, she said that she'd wake me up when Lucas arrived. We haven't talked to each other after he left that day. Even though he planned all of this, he didn't bother to talk to me. He just looked at me for a split second and then ignore me again. To be honest, I don't understand him. I don't know why he suddenly became like that. When he left after we talked he never reached out to me again. No texts, no call, no anything. And I can't help but to feel irritated at him because he really did not try contacting me after that. And then he's there all of a sudden, helping me. I don't get it. Why would he help me while he acted like he's mad at me. And how could he face Gail that much and yet he didn't almost look at me. Now, here I am. Everything that I discovered about him just drives me crazier. He has a sister. Harriet is really nice and welcoming. He's rich, not only that, he's the future owner of their family businesses. His parents are away, and he has a cousin named Sam. What the fuck. I don't want to think much of it but I couldn't let it slip either. Was it a coincidence? Is he really Samantha's driver or what? Shit. I don't know what to feel. And I don't know how to react about the things that is going on in my mind right now. I sighed. I don't want to know because I'm scared. I don't want to know because there's something on my mind that I can't accept. I don't really know him yet after all the informations that I heard today. But then, If I'd only base on how he is whenever he's with me, I know for sure that I trust him. After all, he didn't lie to me right? He just didn't share stories about him. I fell asleep as I think of everything. When I woke up, I felt hungry. I looked at the clock on the wall and it's already eight in the evening. I stood up and get my bag. I don't feel well, I think I have a fever again. I took out my phone and dialed Gail's number. "Vy, glad you called. I've been waiting for your call. How are you? Is everything is okay there right?" she asked worriedly. "I'm fine Gail. Sorry, I forgot to call earlier. I was also busy talking to Arrie, Lucas' sister. I fell asleep after and I just woke up right now. How about you? Are you okay? Do you have your bodyguards with you?" I also asked worriedly. I tried my best to not sound sick. She sighed, "That's good to know. I'm with dad's bodyguard don't worry. Anyways you should eat now, it's almost nine Vy." I nodded as if she could see me. I felt at ease knowing she has their bodyguards with her, "Okay, you too. Please take care. I'll call you again later or tomorrow morning. Make sure to pick up or I'll freak out." I heard her laugh that made me smile, "Okay okay I will, don't worry. Call me anytime, specially if something came up okay?" "Okay, bye Gail." After the call, I decided to take a bath. I feel like doing this would make me feel better. I took my time in the bathtub. I felt relaxed as I allowed myself to soak in there. I'm really lucky to have Gail in my life. With all that I've been through, she's always there to help me. And I don't know how could I ever survive without her. Gail isn't just a best friend to me, she's also my family. I stayed there until I felt better. When I finished, I fixed myself and decided to go down. Arrive was about to go to my room when I bumped into her. "Oh, you're awake already. I was about to wake you up because the dinner is ready," she said while smiling. When we reached the dining food is already prepared. I noticed some people in the garden and even saw Lucas there. I can only see his back, he's talking to Ram. He's here already. I wonder what time he arrived. "Sorry the dinner is late. We got busy when Lucas arrived. He didn't want to wake you up so you could rest," she expalined. I nodded and started eating while secretly observing Lucas. They continued talking and didn't join us. "They already ate. They are already preparing for tomorrow. Lucas told me that you two will leave tomorrow early so they are still planning on how to fetch your friend." Even though I haven't asked her, she already answered. "Ah, do you know where are we going?" I asked in a low voice. Whenever I get sick, my voice always get affected. "On one of our rest house in Pangasinan. You guys will stay there," she said. I just nodded and didn't say a thing. I felt even more sick than earlier. My head also hurts and I feel dizzy. Harriet noticed and asked, "Are you okay, Vy?" I nodded right away to avoid her from worrying too much, "Yes, I just feel a bit dizzy. I'll be better later," I said. "Are you sure?" she asked again. "Yes, I'm sure." I smiled at her even wider so I could convince her. Good thing that I did. After we ate, Harriet guided me to my room. She's still worried about me so I allowed her. I also thanked her for everything and she just hugged me. When I was left alone, I felt irritated. Before we finished eating, Lucas got some water for himself. I looked at him and waited for him to look back but he didn't. He just left after he got his water. What really is his problem? If he's mad at me, why does he help me? I don't understand him! And I hate the fact that I also don't understand why I feel this way. Who cares right? Argh. I pushed myself to bed and allowed myself to dwell on my anger. I know that I should be like this, they were just helping me. Lucas is just helping me. But then, I couldn't stop myself from feeling this way. Plus, I don't feel well. My head hurts and it makes me more irritated. I don't easily get sick but here I am now. Shit.
