Chapter 10

CHAPTER 15 • (PART 1)

To this day I am still gaping. It was as if my brain didn"t want to absorb everything that was happening. It's great because it's a coincidence! Imagine, I was planning earlier to be kind to Uno's brother so that he would have a good first impression of me, and now I'm really in arrears with Dos. Kagaleng lang!

"Hey, you're staring at that again." The language is Uno. We are still in the store today and we even talked to the manager. I turned to face him and shifted my gaze to Dos. I looked at them again and again and only now did I realize that they looked alike.

The manager told Uno everything. And as expected, a deadly look was given to us by Dos. Even without a sermon, I still felt scared. It looks as ready to eat anytime.

"A total of 10,000 pesos were damaged by the two." I averted my eyes because of what the manager said, while Dos seemed to have nothing. Ten thousand ?! If we divide it, Dos and I will be five thousand each, but where will I get five thousand ?! Is it time to cry over the tears?

"I'll pay you the damage," Uno said without hesitation and took a check. The manager just nodded. Hala? Will he pay? Gosh, it's okay with Dos, but he'll pay for mine too?

Dos and I just kept quiet while Uno was negotiating. No one dared to speak out because the only wrong step was that we would get Uno's deafening sermon right away, and we both knew that.

When it was over we left. It was there that Dos spoke.
"Why are you with that witch? Why did you go there to the store?" He asked Uno and then looked at me for a while.

"I searched you all around NAIA, then I found you in arrears at a store," he said instead of answering his brother's question. It tormented him.
They were side by side in the front of the car while I was in the backseat with the two dogs sleeping peacefully.

"I was going to buy a new collar for Viana but thanks to that someone who interrupted me." He said then glared at me.

"It's really me, eh, who kidnapped it? Aren't you?" Malditang singit ko. Then now he is cleaning. Uno would have answered this when he spoke.

"Shut up you both! You're both just stupid so stop arguing like fvcking kids!" We both fell silent. It's not my fault.

"First, just deduct half of my salary." He know what I'm referring to. It's also embarrassing that the first one will pay. But even though I told him that I was still praying, he would not have agreed. It's a pity for the five thousand.

"Yeah I should do that." Its simple answer. I was weak because of that. I thought he would set me free again but he didn't. Bye-bye five thousand pesos.

"WHAT ?! SHE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND ?!" Dos's cry was unbelievable.
We just came back from Uno's private cemetery to visit their mom again. Her daddy also went there with aunt Jezel.

And here we are now in the mansion library. Uno did nothing but tell his brother about us, the main purpose of which was to let all his relatives know that he was in a relationship. Of course not everyone, hide what should be hidden.

"And she is three weeks pregnant," he added, his poor brother's eyes widening.

"Bro I can't believe this. How did you end up with that witch ?!" He was curious and taught me at the same time. Uy grabe maka witch ah.

"Witch? Is there a witch as beautiful as me?" I could no longer restrain myself from responding. His reaction was priceless. I wanted to laugh but I stopped myself.

"Hey you, what are you making my brother drink?" He was mad at me.

"She doesn't make me drink anything, it's all pure love." Uno said then touched my waist. I was shocked so I turned to him. It just made me regret it and winked. My heart skipped a beat. His charms are in different level! I can sense danger on them. For me standing at the end of a cliff, one wrong move and you'll fall.

As Uno did, I wrapped both my arms around his waist and pretended to tremble. It's part of the acting!

Is that part? You want it too
Said may other half. Oh shut up and just blow.

Shocks here again is the inviting scent of him. Not a word came out of my mouth. I just nodded and looked at Dos who was shivering looking at us.

"Get a room," it said and walked out. I laughed at his reaction. The cute.
I rested my head. I didn't even smell Uno's polo shirt. The scent really, I won't get tired of smelling it.

"Ahem, won't you stop biting me? You look like a dog," I heard him say. I blushed when I realized what I was doing. Embarrassing!
I immediately distanced myself from Uno which caused my arm to accidentally touch his hand. I moaned and grabbed my arm because it hurt.

Uno confronted me even faster at four o'clock. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"It's nothing."

He just scratched my forehead and removed my hand holding my arm and pulled up the covered dress on it. A large bruise and a small scar appeared on him. Supposedly I had bruises and scars? I didn't notice it before.

"I'm okay. That's just a little bit, far from the gut." I just said and averted my arm from him. He just stared at me.

"Damn that jackass, what did he do to you?" He said referring to his younger brother.

"Because we pulled over when the collar was damaged, so I jumped on the stool hahaha, but it's really okay," what's the use of lying, right? Knowing Uno, he's persistent.

"Tsk, stay here, I'll go get the first aid kit." He said then left in front of me. He cared, that's all I can say. I felt a thrill because of that.

He came back immediately and made me sit on the long couch. He took my right arm.
"It's me," I groaned.

"Sshhh," he said and avoided the flower. I'm tired. I just didn't force him and let him do what he wanted to do. Uno has already started teasing me.

I watched him closely. The pogi really is. From his hypnotic and capturing blue eyes, his proud nose, to his gorgeous and perfectly chiseled jawline and to his natural pinkish lips. I wonder how it tastes? I mean, yeah I already kissed him but I didn't feel that because I was so nervous.

"Ouch, slow down." I complained to him.

"Over acting," he commented and continued cleaning my wound.
I continued staring at him for about one minute until he noticed it and turned to me. Our eyes met for a second and I immediately averted my eyes. He smirked.

"You do like me, don't you?" Confident words he said.

"S-Spell, ASA." I stuttered in response. He just laughed and turned his attention back to what he was doing.

Honestly, I"ve been noticing something in myself these past few days. It started after the incident in the mall. It's as if I feel weird when I'm near or touching Uno, just like the abnormal beating of my heart, the little butterflies on my belly and that freaking electricity. I'm not dumb to not know what are those.

Shit, this is so wrong Jessica.

CHAPTER 16 • (PART 1)

"Bye sir, be careful," I waved goodbye to Uno as his car drove away to work. It's only six in the morning. He came in early so he also left early every day.

"The sweet girlfriend," grunted Ella who was just behind me. I lowered my hand and smiled at him. "Stop right there, maybe others will hear you." I scolded him.

The witch just laughed at me and went inside and someone else had to take care of me. I also followed him. I just stopped walking when I saw Dos coming down the stairs. Obviously this is just a new bath because of the wet and messy hair which is not bad. That thing eh.

When he noticed me looking at him he smiled at me. Hala? Why is he smiling now? Only yesterday she was stuck, she even called me a witch and now she just smiles like nothing happened? What did it eat?

"Good morning," he greeted me which surprised me even more. Maybe he realized that what happened yesterday was his fault. I'm not a rude person so I just smiled back at him.

"Good morning too," I said and headed straight to the kitchen. I caught up with Viana and Black there who were practicing. Everywhere, this is where they really thought to unfold. A little respect for singles.

Are you single? I thought you had Uno? Insert when I irritate my conscience. Sometimes I also get annoyed here in my brain. Always against it, there is no unity at all.

I prepared dogfood and squatted then presented it to the two moaning dogs. Viana is Dos' poodle that he brought to the store two weeks ago. In good terms, Black and I are already flirting. Tsk.
I was just watching the two eat when someone spoke.

"Looks like the two are getting along ah," Dos said and gulped down the glass of water he was carrying. I didn't realize it was just following me. I nodded.

"It's already flirting," I commented and stood up.

"Jessica, right?"

"Yes why?" I answer here.

"Do you really love my brother?" He asked seriously. I suddenly thought of his question. Do I love Uno? I feel a bit weird when he's there, but is that love? Maybe not. Crush yes, but love? It is unlikely to happen. Just in case, we still don't matter. Knowing our worlds are far too different. He's out of my league. He deserves to be admired because he's at the top. He has tons of expensive cars, expanding businesses, and extravagant lifestyle. He just lacks attitude. But if you sum up everything? That's nearly perfect. Yes I lived in wealth, but that was before. Now, I consider myself as a poor lady who works as a maid to sustain life. But why am I questioning myself? The answer is simple.

"Of course, will I get pregnant if I don't?" I told him. I'm just confusing myself. This is an act so I shouldn"t be connecting my true feelings to it. Juicecoloured.

It shrugged. "I don't know, maybe it's pure lust." He answered and set the drinking glass on the table.

"I'm not that kind of woman," I said which is a matter of fact. I'm not a slut that anyone can be beaten. My mom raised me with respect for myself. It looked at me and approached.

"Good, then let's be friends?" Smiling its offer and he held out his hand to me. I smiled back at him and clasped his hand and shook hands.

"Friends," I asked.

"Sorry about nung sa store, and for calling you a witch." Its language. It's nice, I'm still feeling stuck. They look like Uno every time they smile.

"No problem, we're both at fault then so it's okay," I said. Dos smiled, as if in a close up commercial, the opposite of his older brother, like when I saw in the cracked picture in Uno's room. Maybe if that mokong just smiled, I might have been in love with him.

Dos talked to us a lot. I found out that we were the same age. He's two years younger than his older brother. He also told me about Uno's stinking secrets. He's funny so I just laughed out loud when the doorbell rang.

I apologized first and went to the main door. I was shocked when the artistic Frizzy appeared in front of me, when I opened the door. It's high waist jeans and a crop top with a denim jacket. He was carrying a suitcase that confused me. What is he doing here?

He looked at me for a moment and passed out. It entered the mansion without hesitation. Annoying!

"Frizzy, what brings you here? I missed you." I heard Dos calling to him. He was also obviously surprised by the paraphernalia the witch was carrying. Frizzy approached him and kissed him. Didn't auntie Feli put up with her evil anymore and just drove it away? If so, good on him.

"Hey couz, I'll be staying here." He answered and sat down on the couch next to Dos. My eyes widened because of what he said. Why did he choose to stay here?

"Yaya, bring my things to Uno's room." He ordered me to raise my blood pressure. Nanny your face! Thick face, feel and feel at home the demon! Wait, why in Uno's room? It can be in the guest room.

My eyes caught the change in Dos's expression. His smile was replaced by a frown. It was suddenly in a bad mood. "Why in my brother's room? You can stay in the guest rooms." Its cold words.

"Of course, you're not my babysitter," I added. The witch just stared at me.

"You're still a maid here. Take that, more complaints!" He growled at me. Ugh! She's really getting into my nerves! The taste of his tweak.

"No, take that to one of the guest rooms." Dos was against him. I nodded and was about to take his luggage when he suddenly stood up and pushed me slightly away from his luggage. I restrained myself from pulling her high hair. Just relax Jessica, inhale, exhale.

"It's me! Don't you dare stop me. I do what I want!" He sighed and loaded the suitcase into Uno's room. She's a complete spoiled brat! Do not want to be stopped. We did nothing else when it left in front of us. I noticed that Dos said, 'tsk' before leaving the living room and going to his room. It slammed the door shut which startled me. He is really in a very bad mood.

Night came and Uno went home. I told him that Frizzy was here at the mansion and would stay here. At first he didn't have a pack, but when I told him that it was in his room and that he would sleep there, that's when he got bored.

Dos is not here. He left earlier, I asked him where he was going, he said that his friends were getting along. It doesn't seem to be in a bad mood anymore because it's already smiling.

Uno went up to his room. I did not follow it and entered my own room. I took a shower and got dressed and then went to bed. I tried to sleep but I was just tossing and turning here in my bed and was restless.

What will Uno do when he finds Frizzy in his room? Is it okay for him to sleep next to them? Wait, can I use it? I don"t care what he does with life. What just enters my neck. Annoying!

I tried to close my eyes again. Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep- ugh! I really can't! The place where they are next to each other is what I see every time I close my eyes! Maybe that's okay because they're cousins- but at least! It looks like Frizzy has a cousin complex, very close to Uno.

If only I were next to him

I was overwhelmed by the thought. Like wtf ?! Why would I want that? I think I'm crazy. I weakly slapped myself to regain consciousness.

"You're right Jessica," I whispered to myself. Inhale, exhale. Okay, I'm going to sleep. I looked at the time on my cellphone and it was too late. It's twelve o'clock and I'll wake up early tomorrow.

I had turned off the light and started to go to sleep when I heard three knocks. Who else is this troublemaker? The man is sleeping, haler.

I could do nothing but open it. I frowned when I reached Uno. He was wearing a plain white t-shirt that definitely had his six pack abs underneath and pajamas.

"What are you doing here?" I asked and raised an eyebrow at him. Did I think they would be side by side with Frizzy?

"Can I sleep here?" He said at the same time as high as the pillow he was carrying. Eh? This is where he will sleep ?! As in legit ?!

"B-Why?"

"I can't sleep in the guest room. I can't sleep alone, except in the bedroom." Did he sleep in the guest room? Maybe he was also annoyed with Frizzy. My paranoia is useless. I smiled at the thought.

"What are you smiling about? You're creeping me out. Hey don't take advantage of me." Its mocking words. I let him inside.

"FYI, we're not going to get hit, move on — you're not going to." I answer him while getting an extra blanket. Thick face, porket he is yummy and ready to be raped, exploited immediately? I'm not a rapist, it's okay if I'm raped mo- erase erase erase.

"Don't be shy, feel free to confess your love for me," he said laughing. I stared at him.

"Leche, go to bed ready to chat. It's late oh." I scolded him and then put the bed sheet and his pillow on the floor.

"You want me to sleep on the floor?" He complained. I smiled at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah so don't complain about that."

"I'm the boss here."

"Oh done? This is my room. You're just sleeping"

"You're in my mansion lady."

"You know, if you're going to go on with your uncle, just sleep outside."

"I'll deduct 50% of your allowance."

"I'll scream rape."

"I'll fire you."

"I'll tell them we're just pretending-" I couldn't continue what I was saying when Uno suddenly covered my mouth and pushed me on the bed and then came on top of me. I was suddenly nervous. Juicecoloured what is this again?

"Don't you dare," he told me with mixed threats. He was also very serious. I nervously nodded at him in agreement.

I can feel my heart beating so fast. We are only a handful away from each other.

He seemed to have realized what he had done so it immediately moved away from me. It silently lay down on the floor and turned away. I thank god for that. It's as if I'm going to explode because I'm so nervous.

To be continued
