Capítulo 5: Chapter 4
Masha
Hugging a total stranger, huh? I never thought I will see the day that this will happen to me.
To everything I've experienced so far, I am not the right person who can give comfort to someone.
Because all my life I never experienced to have someone that will comfort me, give me attention, care for me and love me. So I'm really clueless in regards with giving comfort to others.
I am far from perfect, nor I'm innocent. I've seen enough devil in this world making me believe that no one will gave you anything without ripping something from you.
Trusting someone will only make you weak and vulnerable. Letting them in your heart will only hurt you in the long run.
Love, its just a cheap empty word without any meaning. And life is not fair, and it always will be.
To be strong enough, I need to harden the wall around my heart. Letting my mind become more mature as what my father taught me, because as he says no one will save me but myself.
And its true, as what I've seen so far. I live my life, as what my father taught me how should I lived mine and like he said nothing really bad happened to me.
But why, I'm feeling like this? There is an unknown feeling blossoming deeply inside me, while I gave comfort to this man.
Gripping the man tightly around my body, I can't help to feel scared but at the same time happy and content.
Why is that?
Suddenly he pull away, and wipe his cheeks that has been soak with his tears. Seeing a grown man cry like that might be hard to believe, but I guess like me there is something deeply hurting him that he can't tell to anyone.
Actually I felt envious of him because he can cry his worries away, but I can't. Like my tears have frozen, and even my heart.
"You know, I never thought that you will have such a smart mouth.." He suddenly said, snapping me away from my thoughts.
I grin and scoot farther from him, and lean back on my chair. "Its not originally mine, actually. I've just learned it from someone.."
Surprisingly, he grow rigid as his eyes turn to slits while gripping the armrest tightly with his hands.
"Who is it?" He growl.
I blink my eyes, and gape open mouthed at him. What just happened to him?
"Huh?"
He suddenly lean towards me, and slam his hands over my head totally caging my body.
Whoa?!
"I ask you who is it?!" He hissed and I don't know if its because of the darkness but I think I saw his eyes change color.
Scoffing to my own stupid thoughts, I touch his chest and push him but he is much stronger than I thought he would be.
Sighing defeatedly, I drop my hands and look at his eyes. "Geez, its my father. Why are you being like this anyway? Is there something wrong?"
He's face turn red up to the tips of his ears. Moving away slowly, he drop his gaze and sat back down on his chair.
Silence envelop us, and honestly its quite suffocating. Looking back at him secretly, I saw him fidget on his seat, tapping his foot uncontrollably. Sometimes he will turn to me, as if he want to tell me something but he will abruptly stop and look ahead while mumbling incoherent words under his breath.
Honestly, its creepy and pretty scary. He just broke down to tears a while ago and then he suddenly become angry, and now he's being paranoid.
Ugh, people is really hard to understand..
"Sorry for snapping at you. I really don't know what came over me, I'm just scared, and jealou--" A loud thudding noise cut whatever he wanted to say. Standing up, I saw the other man on the door. He is fuming while looking around the room with a glare. And he's actually pretty scary than these other man.
Because the way I can see it, this man sitting beside me is more beautiful than any woman I've seen. With longish wavy black hair, gorgeous gray eyes, perfectly sculpted face and olive tan skin. No man can look masculine, and look beautiful at the same time. Well, I guess he's different.
While the other man who is now walking over us with frightening eyes, is much bulkier and taller. With short cropped blonde hair, vivid green eyes and a healthy tan skin.
Honestly, I can't help to be envy with them because I do not like the way I look. Having a feminine face and body always got me in to countless trouble, and I assure you its not easy living throughout of it all.
"The both of you are still here! Were gonna land in fifteen minutes Lo, and you still didn't fixed your things!"
The other man suddenly grip his hair tightly with his fingers, and glare at the newcomer. Then he stand up, and look at me with a soft smile. After a while he turn his back on me as he start walking over the door.
I don't know what came over me, when I suddenly stood up and run after him while I tug at his shirt making him stop walking.
"Your name..., what's your name?" I suddenly blurted out when he turn around to look at me.
A smirk slowly make way on his lips, and then he brush his knuckles gently on my cheeks. "I'm Louis Caine Lexus, but you can call me Lo.."
"..Lo.. its nice meeting you."
--
I'm nervous, and completely scared when the plane touch the ground. I know and understand that I need to leave them because I still need to find someone but I can't.
Its just a short time, I felt that I knew them all my life. There is something inside my head saying that I can't leave and just forget about them, especially Lo. He stir something deeply within me and it is something I never felt before.
Throughout the remaining hours of our ride, I notice myself looking at him unconsciously. I am captivated by every gesture that he might do, and I felt myself in trance.
Something is really wrong with me, and I don't know what.
Then the others suddenly stood up and go out the door. With trembling hands I slowly unbuckle myself and stand up, while I pull my duffel bag with me.
Bright sky greeted me, with a soft breeze as it sway my hair gently. Looking down, I saw the others coaxing me to get down with smiles on their faces.
"Come on Masha, hurry up! The car is already waiting for us.." Lo say while his face is full of enthusiasm.
Gripping my bag tightly in my hands, I shook my head. "I'm sorry but I really need to get going Lo.."
His mother and the other man stop talking and look at me, Lo's face contorted with so much fury as he grab my arms and start dragging me. "No! You are not going anywhere, because you are coming with me!"
I wiggle my arms and fought his grip on me, but he is stronger. I drop my bag and let my other hand slam his arm, quite hard. He yelp as he remove his hand at me.
Rubbing my bruised arm, I gave him a glare but I gasp when I saw how angry he is.
"Why you don't want to come with me?" He growl.
"Stop being an idiot Louis, I thought you're the genius one here. Just let him explain first, you know that we won't meet him first if he didn't get on our plane. And of course he is not that stupid to do it without having enough reason to do so in the first place.." The other man snap at Lo. But Lo just growl at him and glare at me.
Seriously...
Huffing, I drop my arm and look at them. Them my eyes stray back towards Lo, "I came here to find my father.. I received a mail from him last month telling me that he's here. But he didn't said where exactly..so I still need to search for him..." I murmur softly.
To my surprise, Lo's face suddenly lit up as he squat down and look directly in my eyes. ''Then you don't have to worry anymore, because I can find him for you. I have all the resources that can help you to find him, you just have to trust me okay?"
I don't know why but I actually nod my head and agreed to him.
Huh? What just happened?
''And you just have to stay by my side." He state with finality.
I gape at him, and look to his mom and to the other man who have the nerve to avoid my eyes like they didn't see us. Lo start humming while he took my bag and grab my other hand and drag me again.
Oh God, what I've gotten myself in to!
--
My left eye twitch when I look down at the table, as my hands start shaking. I don't know what happened when I enter the car, as everything become blurred to me. I just noticed that I am already sitting on a soft chair and there is a lot of unknown food on the table and they're already eating.
But the most confusing is the different utensils in front of me. Oh God, I just knew spoon, fork and knife but what the others are for?
My vision start swirling, while I glare at it with so much concentration. Letting my mind remember if my father told me anything about these. But there is nothing. As in none.
Ugh, what should I do now?
''You're not hungry?" Lo, suddenly ask.
I whip my head towards him. ''I am, but I don't know how to eat..''
He blink his eyes at me, and my cheeks blush profusely when I realized that I phrase it wrongly. ''No, I mean I don't know how to use this..'' I state with heated cheeks as I pointed the perfectly alligned utensils beside my plate.
''Oh, well if you like I can help you..''
I suddenly nod my head enthusiastically, but become surprised when he scooted over me and even place his plate near mine. Then he slowly slice a piece of meat on his plate and brought it in front of my mouth. ''Say ah...''
Honestly...
But what can I do, as I look at his face which is shining with so much happiness.
No. I really can't say that to him. Because shattering that smile will undeniably hurt me too.
--
Obviously, he is happy but quite frankly I'm starting to get annoyed with every fiber of my being. Remembering the glances of the other patrons on that restaurant, as what they called that place, will become a permanent reminder to me that I needed to learn a lot of thinngs so that I can live here more peacefully.
Not just that, because Lo has the decency to drag me around. Going to different stores. Buying so many stuff for me, dressing me up. And to be honest, I'm already fed up with all of this.
Even though I said that, I will admit that I pretty enjoyed being with him. My eyes grew wide every time I saw something that deeply interest me. And of course Lo will pick it up and buy it for me..
Not just that, as my eyes will glisten seeing that everything is sparkling around me. Its all so bright, almost blinding. And truthfully speaking, I don't know what to look at first.
"Let's go there!" Lo excitedly exclaim as he stir me in a book store. "You will need a lot of things, because you're going to school next week.."
My steps halt, making him stop too. He suddenly face me, and look at me with questioning eyes.
"I am going to school?!" I screeched.
"Yeah.."
"Why do I have to?" I ask.
He lift his brow at me while he cross his arm in front of his chest. "Because I said so.."
Huh?!
--
Its almost dark when we went home, and honestly I'm already tired even my foot is already cramping from so much walking. Suddenly my nerves spike up when I thought that I'm going to start living with them. Because like Lo said, I'm going to become a part of their family from now on.
I don't know what to think, and honestly I don't have any idea on what are they true intention with me.
I'm just a lowly peasant, I don't have anything and I have nothing to offer but myself. And for God sake they just met me, and they don't know me very well so why? Are they really willing to adopt me in their family, even though I'm a complete stranger?
But my train of thoughts came to a halt, when the car stop. Opening the door, my jaw totally drop on the ground. My eyes widen and I am sure I start drooling.
In front of me, is a freaking palace! And what the fuck?! Please excuse my language, but is that a tower? For real? Am I really in America, or we transported in some kind of fantasy world. Because I don't know if there is something like this in our world.
The whole building is glittering and it looks like majestic under the moonlight. A well kept garden encircles the whole palace which is full with different varieties of flowers.
Looking around, I saw that the whole place is surrounded by wild trees and wilderness. Thinking back, I remember that we drove through a long passage that's surrounded by large forestry.
"Mom, brother Lo! You're back!!" A happy cheery voices yell out. Whirling around I saw three people run toward us.
Two teenage boys and a girl who might be around 14 or 15. They stop in front us, as the girl jump at Lo and squeal happily.
The two teenage boys came toward Josh, (I just learned his name when we were eating lunch) and do these weird thing with their knuckles and greet Ms. Leny.
Suddenly they look towards me, "Eh who are you? Are you the new omega?" The boy with sandy brown hair and gray eyes ask.
What? ''Omega?" I ask confusedly.
He blink, and weirdly sniff me. Ms. Leny suddenly smack the back of his head and pinch his earlobes making the boy yelp painfully.
"Ugh, Mom what the fuck??!"
"Stop treating your brother's mate like that!" She hissed. Then surprisingly the two boys become completely still as they gape at me, even the girl who is in Lo's arm look at me curiously.
Actually, I've been hearing that word for quite a while now and I don't know what they mean. I think that sounded how Australian's call their friend, but I doubt if they meant the same.
"Eh..really?" The girl exclaim as she jump down, Lo turn at her and scowl.
"Kia, stop! And please Darrel, Jess what are you guys doing here." Lo glare at them.
They just smirk at me, "Darrel you owe me 20." The boy with dark brown hair and blue eyes exclaim to the other one.
''Eh! but its not the same, its not that woman. And look closely he is a B.O.Y"
My face morph confusedly while looking at them as they start bantering. But I suddenly yelp when the girl with blonde hair and blue eyes from before appear in front of me. I become uncomfortable when she starts studying my face like I'm an interesting new specie. Then she scrunch her nose disapprovingly.
''Ugh, please brother Lo you can do better than him..''
