Time: 7 a.m.
Surely, we could not attend church. Because right now, if it's a normal day we're already there by now.
Ugh, my neck completely hurts.
I closed my eyes and dreamed that I am still there, watching and enjoying the view. I miss it so freaking much.
I was a bit startled because of the sudden opening of my door.
And there, I saw his serious, handsome face, hungry for my attention.
I spread out my arms and waited for his hug.
He clambers up to my bed as he responds to my hug. He wrapped my body with his. He's very heavy and warm. Is this guy okay?
"Hey, you alright?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm just so sleepy." I caress his hair as he nuzzles my neck.
He's sleepy and yet he's here in my house.
"Why don't you rest in your home, instead of going here? You know, you shouldn't sleep here." I said, my voice sounds urging him.
He's just a phase far from us. We're in the same village, but he still needs to use his car to come in here.
"I can totally have my nap here if I desired to. You cannot restrain me from it. So stop restraining me from your room." He said. It made me groaned.
I slightly slapped his back.
He's so hard-headed and discorteous! And this is one of the attitudes I hate often hate about him. Can't he give me some well-mannered words!?
"Why are you so rude right now? I did not do anything wrong to you." I said, glowering.
"Stop blabbing, please. I'm tired." He said.
It made me glared at him even more. I forcefully shoved his body out of me and it made him fall flat to the other side of my bed. A bit far from me.
I gaze deadly at him.
This pain in the head guy! He could really make my mood shift instantly!
I was about to stand up when he yanked my arm.
I too, had fallen into the bed with him. He's just too strong even without his full strength!
Ugh! He's being so annoying again!
"Not too fast, babe! Not too quick." He chuckled and hugged me tighter than earlier this time.
"Why are giving me a bad mood!? It makes me hate you and you know that, but still you always do it!" I loudly said.
Can't he see, that every time he pisses me I avoid him!?
He likes it very much, does he?
I continued lecturing until he had spoken...
"Hey, end your rantings. Withdraw everything and let the both of us sleep. I know you're sleepy too." He whispered. I can hear how much he is sleepy right now. His voice is very raspy that almost made me think he's sleep talking.
I sighed. Okay, I surrender now. I will take pity on him, because I understand that he's tired.
I think I can't help myself from sleeping too. My eyes were shutting down as I relaxed my body from our positon.
***
I woke up because of the sound of splashing water in my toilet. Is he peeing?
It made my face grimaced even when my eyes were still shut.
I slowly open it when I felt somebody hugging me tight from the back. I felt him nuzzle my hair.
"You awake?" I heard him whispered.
I didn't answer.
After a while, still my eyes were shut but I'm half awake, I heard a deep breathing.
He's maybe asleep again.
I tugged my phone out of my bed and glance on the time. It's now 9:30 a.m.
I think I could no longer sleep even if I still wanted to.
I just busied myself through scrolling social media on my phone.
Minutes passed by and an idea raced pop in my mind.
Well, it's just a simple thing.
I took a photo of me and the man beside me, whose mouth is slightly open.
I send it to him. Idea accomplished.
I chuckled. He's still gorgeous even in this kind of position, only that he's mouth is open. It kinda made me turned off.
Ew.
I faced my body to his and hugged him on his chest.
Best smell ever.
I looked at his face and trace his beautiful jaw. It has short stubbles. He needs to shave, it made him looked too matured.
Then I examined his face. I always do this whenever I'm with him and I will never be used to his face. He has the most beautiful eyes. It was black and looks very dark. It can make a woman shiver and a girl like me bite her lips. His face is flawlessly shape. His eyebrows that were perfectly shaped by the Creator. His nose is perfectly mixed by his mom and dad's blood.
I sighed heavily. He has all the perfect physical appearance. I can no longer describe him, because he's the picture of the word flawless.
I rest my head on his chest and hugged him tighter.
I love him so much that I don't ever think or even imagine of losing him. I just can't, I really can't.
It's not just the appearance that I loved about him. Well, it's in the picture, but most is his personality, although there is always imperfection when it comes to that.
He's very kind, caring, thoughtful, selfless but not when it comes to things like me, his companion in everything, being far away from him. Maybe that's the only thing that makes me frustrated these past few days.
But all is good. He's everything that a man I will always desire to have.
After some time of cuddling him. I roused up gently and sat down, I fixed my hair.
I was about to clamber out of the bed when he moved his body.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"Downstair. I'm hungry. Just continue sleeping there. Rest. I will come back and bring you breakfast after."
He didn't answered and just stick his eyes on me as I leave my room.
***
Time: 3 p.m.
I have decided to walk my dogs around the village with the twins and as usual, Dec came with us and also brought his dogs with him.
We have three Golden Retriever and two Pomeranian, which is walking with us right now and sniffing the ground.
While Dec has his two Alaskan Malamute and one Husky with him. He did not brought his two Mastiff and one Kangal Shepherd dog, because they are too, too much to handle. They are very large dogs. They don't bite, but they are scary when they bark with their thick, loud voice. And plus the fact that they are noisy and hungry for the outside world.
They are not jailed in their backyard, actually, they are very free walking around, but they don't go outside, because their masters wouldn't let them to.
"You, guys, hungry? Want something to eat?" I looked at Dec who's asking us right now. He's looking at the twins, waiting for their response.
The twins' eyes widened, "Yes, yes!" The ever-hungry Cullen said.
"Sure!" Said by the other twin.
"Okay, let's get these babies back and I will cook for you." He answered, brows wiggling. He meant the dogs, 'cos we call them 'babies.'
Well, I'm hungry too. Very nice timing of him as always.
We moved to his house first, because it's the first place we'll pass over.
We left our two husky with the other dogs in their backyard and brought the two Pomeranian with us inside his house.
As I enter the main door, their extremely spacious house welcomed me.
I saw Dec's youngest brother, Damlien, sitting comfortably in the living room and watching tv.
He just looked at us and nod his head. He's truly unapproachable and kinda snob.
Cal went to him and joined him in watching anime. While we followed Dec throughout the kitchen.
I sat down on the high chair and rest my arms on the tall kitchen table.
"What are you going to cook?" I asked as he appeared in front of me and locked me with his right arm on the table and left arm at the back of my chair.
He stared deeply at me. I felt my sister grimace beside me, but didn't say anything.
I rolled my eyes, "You are so weird. Stop staring."
He didn't answer me, instead he made his face closer to mine and sniffed the part closer to my ear and neck.
And now I felt my sister rolled her eyes.
"Gregorio, stop it!" I said in a harsh tone. My sister is here, she's not allowed to see things like this!
His name is not Gregorio, it's Gregory. I just called him that to emphasize how he's irritating me right now.
He chuckled and kiss me on my cheek, "Okay. I'm sorry. You just smell so sweet."
I forcedfully pushed him away, but he gripped my hands, "I said sorry. Stop acting so mad again. I w--"
I halted him, "Who wouldn't be mad at you? You're acting like a crazy guy... El tonto(moron)." I whispered the last word.
I heard my sister chuckled.
"I heard what you said." I rolled my eyes at him. He sighed, "I'm sorry, okay? Stop saying bad words... And to answer your question, I will do a Club House Sandwich."
He turned his back from me and started walking through the electric stove. He wipe it first with a wet tissue. Then he prepared the recipes he needed with a serious face.
So it's my fault? That's why he's acting cranky now?
I heaved a deep sigh and glance at my sister. She's busy taking a picture with Gabē, our lovely pet.
I stood up and went to him.
"What can I do?" I asked.
He didn't bother to answer or even glance at me. I rolled my eyes and started walking out of the kitchen.
Let's let him have his drama there! Ugh!
***
When he called us for the food, he acted like nothing happened.
Well, I don't care. He's the one who has a problem between us and not me.
He placed his arm on my waist as he gave me the sandwich and as he sat beside me with his own food.
"You sure you want to be with me tomorrow?" He asked in the middle of eating.
"I already said yes. Why d'you keep on asking? Tell me, you really don't want me to come with you, do you?" I asked doubtingly.
What is his problem? Why can't he explain to me directly that he doesn't want me to go with him or maybe that I'm not allowed to be there?
"No, I don't mean that. I just really want a definite answer, 'cos I told you that you will just get bored there."
"I have my phone if I get bored. I can text someone to fetch me. And I can take care of myself so stop fussing."
He nodded, "But I want you to wait for me until I leave the company."
"Fine, if that's what you're fussing about."
I rolled my eyes.
So that's it?
It made me shook my head. He's shallow.
***
Time: 6:30 p.m.
I lie my body comfortably on his huge mattress.
Now, my body felt more weak. We consumed our time playing with our pooches in their backyard after eating.
And now I'm resting for a while.
Declan fell flat beside me after changing his shirt, 'cos he was very sweaty after playing with our babies.
"You sure--"
"Yes! I am! Ugh! You're so annoying!" I cried out.
Why is he imitating his question again and again!?
He cracked up loudly, "Babe, you're so sensitive." He said as he moved toward me and hugged me from my back at the edge of the bed.
"You really like pissing me off." I said.
"Yes, because I love wooing you after." He replied and peer at me then snuggle his nose on my cheek.
"What a nutty reason of you." I said pushing his head away from me.
"Don't." He warned, and I let him do his sniffing thing on me.
After a minute of fondling with each other, I felt sleepy. The twins already went home after playing with the pooches, while I stayed here to take a short rest.
And now I need to go home.
Just as I was about to say that I'm going home, he spoke.
"Why don't you just sleep here? You're eyes looks so tired." This guy is really the opposite of me.
"You think?" I asked. I saw him bit his lip.
"Yes."
"Sorry, but no." I smirked.
He heaved a deep sigh and frown at me.
"Okay but stay here until..." He tugged his phone beside him and glance at the time. "8:00 p.m."
"Okay."
"And eat dinner with us."
I nod my head and faced him.
"Okaaay." I said, then kiss his cheek as I hugged him back.
***
Time: 7 p.m.
"So, I heard that you want to be with my figlio(son) tomorrow, Casselle? You can go, but are you sure? He will be very busy I tell you.. because tomorrow is his first day and he's going to be trained." Said by Dec's dad in a massive voice.
We are eating all together in one table here in their modern style dining room.
I looked at Zio(Uncle) Giorgio and nod my head, "Yes, I'm very sure. I don't have anything to do at home so might as well consume my time with him, Zio." I said.
I heard Aunt Leiandra laugh.
"Let them spend their time with each other, cara marito(dear husband), it's their choice.. let them enjoy themselves at being youth." Said by Aunt Lei.
I smiled and bit my lip discreetly.
"I know, honey. I'm just saying that she might get bored." Uncle Giorgio said.
"Then let her be. Greg's there to take care of her. Right, honey?" She looked at Ded and raise him a brow.
Dec nodded gently beside me, "I can take care of her. So don't worry, dad." He said.
After finishing the dinner, we went for a walk outside. All that is left in the sky is darkness.
"What are your plans tomorrow for the company?" I asked as I clung my arms into his.
"I will be assisted by dad's assistant, so I still don't have much idea. Maybe learn some things about running the company on its best."
"Duh, of course you really should." I said.
He chuckles and encircles his arm on my waist, "You're the only one who can make me laugh like this."
"So, I think you should learn about the plans of how you will properly run it and attend meetings with some of the clients."
He nodded.
I looked up at him and saw him smiling, showing his attractive dimples.

Time: 8 a.m.
I hastened my paces to reach the outside of our gate. I clumsily place my phone in my bag, that made it almost slip from my hand. Oh! Thank, God! It's safe.
I don't know if he's so much furious at me right now by the way he mashes his car horn so loud. Oh my! I hope he's not that mad!
I was just late for half an hour. Is that literally bad?
I hold my breath as I open the passenger seat.
And I was welcomed by his roaring shout.
"What kept you late!? Oh, Eeve, you're making my head hurt! Don't you know how important is the time for me right now!? We might get stuck in the traffic!"
Oh, no... I didn't mean to be late, it was just that I slept very late and I snoozed my alarm. He is freaking furious right now! What am I going to do to calm him? How am I going to calm him if he is being violent right now? Please, Lord, calm him. Please, please...
I bit my lip as I place the seatbelt on my body. Please, don't be mad I was just late for 30 minutes...
"I'm sorr--"
"I already told you last night." He said once again, trying to calm his voice. "You are such a bratty." My brows furrowed.
What he just said honestly hurt me.
That's not true! I'm not bratty. I'm just an imperfect person that sometimes makes unintentional mistakes!
It made me look away. Now, I just want to go home. I can't believe he said that to me!
He sighed loudly and hardly hit the steering wheel.
It made me more anxious and frustrated.
"I'm sorry.. I truly didn't mean to be late." I said, my voice shaking. I can't help but to be hurt because of his harsh way of rebuking me.
He can't just scold me and say things that his mouth desires to say without thinking.
Words can extremely hurt another person when you didn't surely thought about it.
"Shut up. We can't do anything about your excuses anymore. You already made a mistake." He harshly said.
Slowly, tears welled up my eyes, but I immediately wiped it with my hand.
He was driving the car too fast, which made me shut my eyes tightly.
"Please, slow down." I said with a very low voice. It's like he hadn't heard anything and continued driving fast.
"Slow down, please." I said, my voice clearer this time.
But he just kept on being deaf on me.
***
He slammed the door of his car with a force, which made me flinch.
Tell me that he would not go inside the company with his furious head! Oh my, good, Lord, help him, it might affect his first day of work!
He hurriedly strolled the way inside the elevator of the parking lot and I hurriedly ran inside, biting my lips intensely.
I feel so nervous beside him even if our distance are far from each other.
There are two people in here. The other one is a stunning, sexy smiling woman with her formal attire, while the latter is a chubby, serious, handsome man with his suit.
I feel so out of place with my jeans and shirt. Felt like I don't belong in here.
I looked at Dec and saw him glaring at me. I looked away and grip my hand on my jeans.
I distance myself more from him.
I just want to go home right away after saying sorry to him, and I will, when we arrive in his office.
I watch how the girl stares at Dec with so much awe, she gawk at him shamelessly until we reach 16th floor and that's when she realize that the one she's looking at right now is the young successor of the company.
Her eyes dilated and she bit her lip with so much shame, "Sir." She acknowledge immediately and hastily went out of the elevator when she reached her floor.
Okay.. that was rude.
I saw Dec in my peripheral vision, shooking his head like he was very ashamed of what the woman did, even if she was attractive to anyone's eyes.
I glanced at the chubby man beside me, and I gulped when I saw him looking at me.
He smiled, "Hi." He said. I just smiled a bit. I felt the furious man kept an eye on us. Then I felt him looked away and started to bore a glowing hole in the elevator wall. Oh no, not now.
"Recent employee here?" The chubby, handsome man inquired.
"Uhm.. uh.. no." I said, awkwardly staring back at him.
"Perhaps an.. intern?" He asked once again after nodding his head.
His face is very handsome and he's tall too, but not tall us Dec, and only that he's kind of chubby. But I can say that it looks good on him(his fats).
If I were to calculate his age, probably between 22 to 25.
I glance at Dec and saw him clenching his jaw with phone on his hand. I heaved a sigh. Good. His attention was withdrawn from me.
"Uhm.. no. I... I just came here to be.. uhm with my.. bes.. uh, I mean friend to.. uh.. to avoid being.. uhm.. uh bored at home." I said, sputtering.
I don't know what to say!
He chuckled, "Looks like you're nervous." He raised a brow.
"No." I hastily said. What is he trying to say? That he's gorgeous and I'm being intimidated by his looks?
He smiled, "Then may I ask, why are you stammering?"
"Hehe, can I just keep it to myself?" I can't help but to show the sarcasm that I was trying to resist on my throat.
He's asking too much. Ugh!
I heard him chuckled. He accidentally glanced to the man beside me and his eyes widened.
"Oh, shi.." He halted himself, stand himself properly and lifted his chin high and bow his head slightly, "Goodmorning, Sir."
I know that this is just his first day of working in here, but this isn't the first day he had been in here, the reason why everyone knows him. For sure his dad introduced him to everyone before as the next boss of all the bosses in their company.
He place his phone back in his pocket and glance at him, "Morning.. next time, stop yourself from interrogating other person too much whom you don't know." He said with a stern voice and serious face. I saw how his jaw clench a bit when he glimpse on me. I bit my lip and looked away.
The handsome man bow his head as a sign of respect to what he said and he went closer to me.
"I didn't saw that he was the son of my boss." He said with an anxious voice, then he chortled lowly.
I chuckled awkwardly. He's being too close on me. I step aside to distance myself a bit from him, but he just followed me.
"By the way, may I ask you what's your name?" He whispered.
The elevator door opens and Dec quickly went out, leaving me inside.
"I'm Casselle. Gotta go now." I said as I swiftly followed him.
"Okay, Casselle! See you around!" He yelled.
Some people looked at me and I bit my lip because of the feeling of embarrassment creeping through me.
He's such a talkative guy. He's trying hard to be friendly. And I kinda didn't like it.
I started to walk normal again when my eyes caught him. He went inside a room and I followed him.
I scheme of saying sorry to him and ask someone to fetch me after. I know he could not work properly if I'm here, because he's mad of what I did and maybe angrier right now because of entertaining a man.
I'm scared that his dad might scold him of being late and that I was the reason why. I know I will let him down if that will happen, but I hope not.
As I enter the room, I saw his dad laughing with another man that was like same as Dec's age. The man was handsome too and looks like Chinese.
I heaved a sigh because of the feeling of relief, for he will not scold Dec by the look of his face.
"Son," His dad acknowledges his presence, then glanced at me and smiled.
I walk towards the settee and settled myself.
He introduced his son to the man that he's talking to.
I watch how the other man accepts Dec's hand as he offered it.
After a while of discussing some things with each other about the company and other things, Uncle Giorgio tapped Dec's shoulder and bid goodbye to him and the Chinese man.
Then he went to me. "You sure you're okay here, dear?" He asked.
Uncle, I'm not okay here. I just want to go home. If only I could voice it out.
But I just nodded my head and smiled.
"Message me if you need anything or just ask Gregory to call my secretary to take charge of you." I smiled once again because of his thoughtfulness. And I said my thank yous.
He bid his last goodbye and left.
I stared shamelessly at the man as I appreciate his handsome face. He looks much of a snob guy.
He glanced at me. I shyly smiled at him.
I saw how Dec glances at me when he realized how the man stares at me
"Who is this gorgeous woman.. your sister?" I heard the man asked. And I felt appreciated at what he said.
"No.. my girlfriend." My eyes widened a bit.
The man nodded his head and I saw him look at me once again. He gave me a smile.
They continued discussing some things. And after a while, the man left, saying that he has some errands to do and that he will visit again if he finds time.
I looked up immediately at him from my phone when I heard the door shut.
He was busy scanning papers that was placed properly on the top of his table.
He didn't even take a glimpse on me even after a minute that I waste my time staring at him.
Should I approach him right now with his serious face like that or not?
I'm so confuse on what to do.
I know that he will only get mad if I ask him that I shall just go home.
I plan of going out if this room, without him thinking that I will leave.
And I also know that if I ask him for his permission that I will do something outside this office, he will think that I will run off of him. I know that he has an advance mind, and that he will not let me leave this place without me waiting for the end time of his work, even if I beg him to, because he really yearned for me to stay yesterday, but I hope that what happened earlier shifted the thing he yearned for.
I stood up, and slowly made my way towards him.
"Hey," I called, I can't help but to bite my lip from the anticipation I'm feeling.
He glanced at me and averted his eyes back on the paper he's holding, "What do you want?" He asked with a cold voice. Can't he move on?
"I.. uh.. I will just buy food outside." I hope this will work. Although, I haven't truly eaten a food yet for breakfast, because of waking up late.
What happened inside the car was just nonsense, because his dad did not even acknowledge that he had been very late.
That's why it's just good for me to bring myself home, because he really ruined my day.
"I will informed dad's secretary to buy you food." He declared. My brows furrowed.
I can buy my own! Can't he see that I have my own hands and feet?
"Truth is.. I want to go home." I said.
"No, walk what you talk. When you promise do it and I will not permit you to." He said, brows furrowing as he stares back at me
"Please... I'm really sorry for what happened, okay? I don't mean to snooze my alarm... And see, we didn't disappoint your dad, so please just let me go home, and just clear things out later, when your head is not sharp anymore." I begged.
"No... I'm not mad anymore." He faced me and his face loosened up a bit, "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry for the things I have said.. I just thought wrong. It's my fault, okay? Can you please not go home now?" He went closer and held my face up as my teared welled up in the edge of my eyes because of the memory of his harsh words on me.
I nodded on what he said.
A tear fell and he gently wiped it. I can't help but to sob even if I tried to resist it by inhailing air deeper. "Okay, but next time, be watchful on how you will say words." I said. He hugged me tight.
"Yes, I know. I'm truly sorry, sweetie."
I can't help but to groan, "What are you.. my mom?"
He chuckled, "Silly as ever." He said as he kissed the top of my head. "Won't you hug me back?"
