Chapter 17: Missing you

"A-ah! Did you know that it's cold outside?" I started

"Then why you're wearing shorts? " he fired back.

Aish! A bad introduction.

"Huh? I mean if the huskies will sleep at the cage, it's cold there! How can they sleep there properly?" I
clarified

"They have a fur! They often sleep there anyway!" he acts like he's cold hearted and snob again.

"Y-yeah, you have a point. Anyway, thanks! I have to go!"

"You can't stay close with them again!"

"What? You're so cruel! How can you do that?" I snort out of shock.

"Okay! Fine, not until your scar isn't healed yet!" he seriously say with a blank expression. How can he
do that?

"okay! let's go or I'll go first?"

"Just go!" that line breaks my heart.

How come that he'll let me go back alone? Aish! Fine, who am I anyway?

I'm fine, I don't need him... it's just that the feeling with him was different.

"Hey! where's sweetheart?" she asked like a snob.

"At his room!"



"K! next time be careful, you ruin a nice conversation...for you to know!" she sarcastically said and
continue walking.

I see, maybe Raze was mad because I ruin their nice conversation. Hayss!

The borrowed time ended? That was so quick and easily!

After a moment, I saw Raze walking downstairs with Sabrina who suddenly squealed her arms around
Raze's arms, she clings so close at him like they're lovers, well, yeah! They are, whereas, I sound
jealous, obviously because he's not mine and I don't have a chance.

Conscience: Why he make you feel special when he just intends to play your feelings, that's sad! Get
lost!

Lorence: Don't make me even sadder.

Conscience: T.T *sobs* I'm rooting for you.

Our eyes met, I really waited for that chance so I can tell him that my eyes can't like that for another
time, my eyes we're sad. His gaze were cold and blank.

He never get his pierced look at me so I just turn my back and get inside my room.

I lay at my bed and look at the ceiling, why I saw his image there like it's projected? Damn! I scobs my
eyes and take a deep breath.

I told myself once, I said I have to forget him but it's impossible now. I even love his warmth everytime
he holds my hand.

I open my phone once again and stalk Raze's Instagram account, trying to find Sabrina's account too.



"Going somewhere, dinner date?" I saw her story and that was her caption with Raze's photo who's
driving and she who's taking a selfie. That pinch my heart.

I sadly press the exist button and look at our photos earlier. Damn! He bother my thoughts so much! I
stood up and change my clothes, I wear my sleep wear, basically wearing my pair PJ's and go out.

I'm going to check the huskies at their cage. This is a very huge house, a mansion to be exact the
reason why I can't even find where the others go.

•Rufff! Rufff!

"Yeah! hi babies! Brix you hurt me a 'lil bit. Don't worry!" I said showing him my fingers that acts like
measuring an inch. As if he could understand what I mean.

•ruffff! ruffff! rufff!

"You guys want to go out?"

•Ruff! ruff!

"Okay! Don't tell dad that I let you go since you guys let me hear a sweet bark." then I open their cage.
Vyan was running around as she go out like red while others starts to sniff and stay close to me.

Luckily, it's bright here outside though it's already gloomy.

"Baby!" I call to catch Vyan's attention, she can't go too far or else I'm dead. They'll know that I let them
go out. I sat at the bench nearby and have fun looking at them playing. They're all cute.

"Brix! baby!" I call him and instantly he run towards me while barking and jump at the bench and sit. I
hug him.

"You're so cool, why you can understand what I say easily, huh?" I was groping his fur.



"Baby! can I take a photo with you?" I'm that insane but I love talking with them anyway. He lick my
cheek.

"Baby no! not that!" I was laughing while wiping my face.

I took out my phone and also took a lovely selfie with Brix.

"Look, you're handsome here baby boy!" I said smiling while showing our picture to him and he make a
sound like he understand it, like he know that it was him at the photo.

"Lay here Brix! Babies come on!" I call them and they run back.

"You guys are funny! I'm not asking you guys to tongue out!" I laugh and pat their head. They're so
nice, how come that the others were scared of them.

"Lorence!" oh? it's mother Sharn, she's riding on the golf cart. Wow! She know how to drive.

"Hi mother Sharn" I wave. She's walking now!

"I search you everywhere! but you're just here. I thought señorito told you not to come nor play with
them?"

"It's fine mother Sharn, Brix just accidentally do it!"

"Okay! let's head back now, it's already 5:30, I'll call Arron to bring them back at the cage later"

"Can you ask him to bring them at their room? It's cold outside, Please!"

"Okay! Let's go."

I just nod,she drive, I love the place, I mean, the background because the light there was a perfect dim
especially under the acacia trees but at the dog's house was pretty bright.



"Wow! look at brix mother sharn, he's chasing us!" I was amazed while looking at him.

"I'll look or we're going to crash?"

"Just don't look!" I said and laugh.

"Mother Sharn I also want to learn how to drive the golf cart!" I said seriously.

"Well, George can teach you or Vince can! They thought others to drive too, I can ask them to teach
you everytime you're free." she smile ...

"Wow! I'm glad and excited mother Sharn. Thanksss!"

•••

We eat around 7pm, after that I talk with Stacey and the rest of the family. I got scolded because I told
mom about my scratch, that's no big deal tho.

Then I just open my Instagram and add brix and I photo, I was about to sleep when Raze sent a
message.

Razekhen: I told you not to play with them, not until you're healed! You're really hardheaded, Chump!" I
just read it, he don't even reply on my first story. I sigh and turn my phone off the lights and shut my
eyes close then memorize multiplication table like crazy to push Raze image out of my mind.

I woke up the next day, fine and strong for the chores.

Raze seems very busy and Sabrina was with him, Erika said sorry yet still annoy me like she's said that
Raze was just playing me, like hell I care, I know about that anyway. She's a pain in my ass! Heck!

After my chores, around 1pm, Vince teach me how to drive and I have fun and at the same time I gain
more friends. All boys but that's much better than girls who do nothing but judging each other.



Few...more days had passed and I do the same thing everyday, wake up like shit and prepare myself
for a work, seeing Raze with Sabrina and it feels like a hundred of knifes did stab me inside but luckily
I'm always able to pretend that I'm just perfectly fine.

Then, at noon hours I'll practice driving a golf cart with Vince, hanging out with them at the guards
house and have fun bike racing with them at the backyard. I had fun, because of them I eventually
forget him... at least I'm able to laugh out loud for the moment.

I took a warm half bath, I was very sweaty earlier. I wear PJ's to cover my scar, it's healed now
because I'm always putting an ointment that mother Sharn gives to me.

I was blowing my hair to dry when I hear a knock.

"Come in,that's open" I yell

"Lorence!"

"Oh! Erika?"

"Let's go eat now!" oh, dinner. It's the first time that she call me.

"I envy you!" she whisper

"Why? You don't have to!"

"Because he treats you differently and I love your personality. Everyone likes you, even the boys." That
was an honest answer but I'm just me.

"Oh? He didn't treat me differently, it's just that he's nice to everyone and Erika, I love your personality
too, you're very loyal!" I said and smile, I know she's very loyal to her señorito.

"You have your own room, how does it feels?" she look around.



"It's boring, you wanna sleep here? My bed was very huge for just one person" she once hurt me but I
can't hate her maybe she's just going through something hard that day so she acts that way, I have to
be more kind and considerate that being so harsh.

"I-I'm shy!"

"D-don't be! You can sleep here, we can even set a schedule so you and others can sleep over here,
imagine that we can talk here about the things we like while eating some snacks before going to bed.
Isn't it exciting?" I joyfully say.

"That's fun, I'm looking forward to that! Let's go? They're waiting." she reply and smile.

"Hi Kyle! Vince! reserve me a seat!" I said.

"Sure!" he wink.

"You replace me with him already love?" Kyle acts dramatically.

"Yes dear! I'm sorry! I realize that what I feel towards you isn't love at all. huhu!" I act too, we often do
that, Kyle and I always act like we're on theatre play and that's fun.

"That's it? How can you fix my broken heart?" he's stoping the urge of laughing, his expression is
funny now.

"I can stitch that, don't worry but if it won't work, you can cook your heart!" I reply and laugh!

"You two must stop that and eat now." it's mother Sharn who keeps smiling.

Everyone was happy, they're happily talking about some stuff while busy getting there foods. I sat
beside Vince, around the boys.



I feel more comfortable with them because some girls seems like they hate me. That's weird though,
their looks made me feel awkward.

I'm very lucky that the fate brings me here, the fate brings me in a safe place.

After the dinner I walk outside like always but I bump into Kyle so we both walk, slowly, while talking
about some basic stuff. Why? Why is that I'm with Kyle but it's Raze who's here in my mind?

"Hey!"

"A-ah?"

"What's wrong? I asked if why you didn't just manage your family business?" he was laughing so I
smile awkwardly.

"Ahh! I just want to try something new, I want to explore here in the City." I quickly reply and look at the
sky.

I hear the crickets, the stars shines beautifully and clear, they're lovely.

Is it true that a shooting star grant wishes? I didn't see one for years and I forget what's my wish and if
it came true before.

*Beeep!

A light from a car blurry my sight. It's Raze who stop the car and let one of his guard drive it to garage.

"Good evening Señorito!" Kyle greeted and bow while I can't speak.

"Good evening, ah! Can you please excuse us? We have to talk!" he's talking to Kyle then Kyle politely
nod and follow him.



"Lorence, I gotta go!" he tap my shoulders and wink.

"O-okay!" I reply

"Can we talk?" Damn it! My heart's beating rapidly again like it's stopping me to breathe.

"Ah! s-sure!" I reply and look away, my face were hot! I can't believe this. He softly hold my hand that
sent me the feeling like there's an electric shock am make my heart beats more wildly and like it's
knocking out my ribcage, trying to go out and celebrate like "Finally, I'm happy again."

We reach his room that no one talks, he was silent that made me more nervous.

"Alexa, turn on the light!" he ordered. He place his attache case at the nearest table and loosen his
necktie.

"W-what do you want to talk a--"

"I missed you!" he said and suddenly hugged me tight like I can feel everything, his warmth and even
something more secretly superior that him, the massive one sometimes.

Just in blink, our lips crashed against each other sweetly, I see how he close his eyes while cupping my
cheeks and the situation bring me in. My eyes automatically close and I hug him back.

His right hand were on my nape, helping to make me closer like what his left hand does...it's hugging
around my waist.

"R-raze!" I was panting.

"I-I'm sorry!" he whisper and again hold me close, I only feel my heart that thumping hard while our
tongue fight against each other.

"I love you! So much!" he whisper, making me feel comfortable at his warm embrace.
