The longer that I think of it, the more I felt irritated. So I decided to take a bath. I couldn't stay for too long though, I'm afraid I'd get sick again. I wore a simple short and t-shirt. I'm glad Gail helped me prepare my things because I'd probably only bring some if I'm the only one who packed this things. Especially that I don't have a clue about where we're going. 
After that, I took my time in drying my hair before going to the kitchen to drink some coffee. It would help me feel better. I'm glad that I didn't saw Lucas on the receiving area. I go straight to the kitchen and busied myself there. I'm sure this rook is expensive, it's huge.
I decided to drink my coffee there as I callee gail.
"Hello, Vy!" she greeted.
"Hi! We're here at the hotel already. How about you?" I asker.
"I'm not sure where we are. But these guys I'm with told me we'll arrive there around 2:00 to 3:00 am. You know how bad traffic is in Manila," she said a bit laughing. She sounds comfortable and it comforted me. That's good, at least I know that she's okay.
"Okay then, take care. How's media? They didn't notice you earlier? You're not hurt right?" I asked worriedly. I just remembered how media flocked in front of her condo building.
"Everything is well planned Vy, don't worry. The guys who fetch me made sure they won't be noticed. They used the way behind my condo's building to make sure no one will see them. When they got me, my father's men came out with two ladies with the same body figure as ours to get the media's attention. Guess what, bestfriend?" she stopped midway to ask me that. But before I could answer, she continued. "We fooled them! No one stayed to make sure that we weren't fooling them. We took that as a chance to leave right away."
She sounded so happy and satisfied with how it all went. I shook my head on the other hand. I didn't know they all planned it with that short period of time. To think that they only met during the time that Lucas went to their house. 
Well, I understand Gail. She's a bit crazy but Lucas? I never imagined him doing such thing. I never thought he can me this tactical, he seems really different. Most of the time he's carefree but sometimes he's too serious. But then, I realized, I haven't really known him too well. That's why I was shook when I heard his sister's stories about him and their family.
Shit.
I haven't fully known you and yet I'm already falling.
Oh Lucas.
I bit my lower lip and pushed myself to divert my attention.
"Did Xavier called?" I asked after she told me her stories. 
"Of course he did, to you. I didn't answer though. He even texted and asked where you are but I didn't reply. He's annoying, he floods you with his messages. He wants you to just go with the flow with all of these so his career would bloom. He's reallg crazy, God! I'm so pissed," she continuously said.
"You think I really shouldn't talk to him? I mean, maybe this won't stop unless we'd talk. I'm just thinking, I want to talk to him to stop this," I admitted, my voice still cracks because of my throat.
"Your voice, Veronica. Make sure that you're okay once I get there. I don't want to see you sick. And please stop thinking about talking to that asshole. He's old enough to do the right thing but he chose not to. Oh God! I'll be out of my mind if you do that," she said histerically. I laughed as I imaginer her face as she say that.
"Whatever, you're always like that," I teased. "Be safe okay? If I'm asleep when you arrive, please wake me up."
She also laughed and agreed, "Alright. I will surely wake you up, you have a lot of things to tell me."
"Okay Gail, take care."
After the call, Lucas came wearing a simple white shirt and comfortable short. His gaze is directed at me.
I looked away and finished the coffee that I haven't drink. I also turned around and was about to leave when I felt his hand holding my wrist. 
"Until when are you planning to ignore me, Veronica?" he asked. He looked like he's already run out of patience.
I faced him shocked. 
"Huh? Aren't you the one ignoring me, Lucas?" I tried my best to not sound too affected but I failed.
He clenched his jaw and look at me like his eyes are saying something to me that I couldn't understand.
"And when did you start being friendly and talkative to other people?" he asked again, ignoring the fact I just pointed out. I looked at him shocked again. What is his problem? I'm really confused.
"You're so happy talking to Ramiel and Uno earlier. Was it also like that on the way to my sister's house?" he added irritatedly.
I rolled my eyes at him. I couldn't hide my annoyance.
"What do you want me to do? I'm bored. Besides, what's wrong? They're your friends," I argued.
I really don't know what his problem is. He's acting weird. He's worst than a woman having her period!
"They're my friends, not yours." he said it emphasizing that Ramiel and Uno is his friends and not mine. I couldn't say a thing and looked at him questioningly. Is he even serious? What the hell?
"I didn't know I wasn't allowed to be friends with your friends, Lucas."
He sighed and shook his head. I can see that he already realized that I am both confused and pissed with how he's acting right now.
He remained silent and look at me intently. He's standing manly with his head a bit tilted as he bit his lower lip. I rolled my eyes again. Shit, even now that I pissed, I still miss him looking at me. He's fucking handsome but so moody!
"I didn't say you're not allowed to be friends with them," he said a bit calm. 
I laughed sarcastically and shook my head that made him curious why. 
"Really Lucas? You've just saif that they are your friends not mine. What does that mean then?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. He shifted his gaze and pouted as if trying to stop himself from smiling.
It's even more annoying. I turned around to walk away but he stopped me and softly guided me to face him again. 
"They're the onesbnot allowed to be friends with you," he said, almost a whisper. I didn't say a thing. 
"I don't want you to be friendly to anyone, not in front of me."
He said that and left me there. I felt my knees weaken and my heart started to beat faster. What the hell is that? Shit. I waited for some moment before I calm down and got myself water. I could still fell my heart beating fast.
When I finally calm downz I decided to leace the kitchen and fo straight to the room assigned for me. Lucas was seating on the sofa watching television.
The fuck? He's calm while I couldn't even breath properly because of my fast heartbeat dammit!
I irritatedly closed the door and put myself to bed. I don't understand him! Why is he acting distant and then say those things to me? And why the hell am I this affected? 
I drifted with my thoughts and fell asleep. And I woke up with a soft touch on my face. It was Lucas. I fixed myself and sat a bit away from him.
"Let's eat so you could drink your meds. You're sick again," he said seriously. I breathe heavily and pushed myself to hide whatever it is that I am slowly feeling again towards him.
He guided me all the way to the kitchen. I didn't argue because I don't havr energy for another arguement. I don't want to talk to him until I figured everything out to myself. I'm confused with all of this but I just don't want to talk to him yet. 
There's a lot of food prepared for us. Although I think it's too much, I chose to ignore it. I was quite the whole time and I felt his gaze on me most of the time while he's eating.
When we finished he indeed make me take my medicine. After that I left the kitchen and was about to go to my room when he stopped me and held my hand again.
