Chapter 25

HE just closed his eyes and waited for what the young man would do next. He suddenly lost consciousness when he touched his arm and violently erected him.
"Do you really think I'm going to hit you? Get the hell up!"
She just stared at the young man. Alexendris get his belt back tied to his hands to put back in his slacks.
"You're so thick!" he was tired of recovering. "You're the one who came first!"
He snorted. "What do you expect? You're the one who dominates? Hell no. I don't fuck girls like you."
O-ouch ah
He stood up and straightened the clothes that were tangled then glared at the man who casually returned to his seat. It's as if there's nothing here that has left what he cooked. How she wishes she put on that poop!
"I don't shoot people like you either! Malande!" restoring his promise
"Shut up. I am eating." its harsh rebuke
"I hope you choke." he muttered
He was very careful not to hit the man in the face with his heels. The thickness of it to chase him, tie his hand, then tell him not to type. Why? Is he a type! Not at all!
"Just don't admit to being attracted to me." umismid sya
"What?"
"What are you up to and do you still want me to stay here ?! I still have a job. When I'm fired. Will you revive me? Ha!" daldal nya
"I'll raise you when you're pregnant. Simple as that." he made a serious promise
Her cheek turned red. The man's words conveyed something else. He wanted to put packing tape on his mouth again.
"A-what are you saying !? I thought you didn't type me?" he stammered
"There's if woman. As if I will impregnated you. Just zipped your mouth and wait after I finished my work. May pupuntahan tayo."
He just rolled his eyes at the man then turned away from him. He leaned his head on the sofa and closed his eyes.
She released a deep breath.
That's almost ah.
HE moaned in annoyance as he slapped his forehead several times. He slapped that hand and opened his eyes. He fell asleep without being aware of it.
"Wake up woman! You're wasting my time."
It's him again. He could hear her harsh voice again as if there was always a deep -seated resentment. He looked up.
"Why?" he asked angrily
"Do you want me to lock you here? Stand there. We're going." its salt
He would have complained if the bird had turned his back on him. He approached the table and then took his laptop. He just stood up. She combed her hair trying to fix it then followed the young man. His eyes were still narrowing due to drowsiness while following it.
He suddenly lost his sleep when he stepped on something and lost his balance. The young man stared at her as if in slow motion until his ass fell to the floor.
"Aray!"
The man! He wasn't even helped. It just stared at him. He released a harsh breath. It's like he's a bit of a quack.
He tried to stand up but when he felt the pain in his leg. He sat down on the floor again.
"B-maybe you want me to help." he said sarcastically
"Why would I?" this question is rude
"Because I can't stand?" she said sarcastically
"It's not my problem."
His lips parted as he started to walk away. She closes her eyes. She feels that she will have highblood because of that man. There is not even a gentle bone in the body.
Annoying!
He looked for a captain and tried to stand up. He endured foot pains with his eyes closed while walking on tiptoe. She started to cry but she just restrained herself.
"B-why did you stop?" he asked
Alexendris turned around looking at her seriously. He was just surprised when it suddenly lifted him up. Her heart started drumming inside.
"Goddamn clumsy." he murmured
His voice was not disgusting. The young man just stared straight at the walker as he stared at its face. She can't help but look at his deep ocean blue eyes. Even sideviewed. It's still beautiful.
"Stop staring."
He was swallowed up when its blue eyes hit him. She can't help but say unconsciously.
"Your eyes are beautiful." she whispered
"I said stop." its voice was full of seriousness
"I-I don't want to. I'm only now seeing blue eyes-"
"Stop."
He closed his mouth to see the darkness of its eyes. That means it's not joking so he just looks down. She kept quit until they reached the parking lot. He deposited her inside his car then circled in the driver's seat. He has no driver.
"Where will we go?" he asked curiously
"In my house."
Her eyes widened. He quickly turned to it.
"What are we going to do don ?!"
"Stop asking that much question." its irritating promise
He just lowered himself while one hand rubbed his injured leg. He stared outside because he wasn't in the mood to warm Alexendris's head. Later when it doesn't hurt anymore. Her feet.
A few more minutes passed before they stopped at a two-storey house. Napa 'o' na lang mga labi nya sa ganda ng bahay nito. It's not a mansion but the exterior is very beautiful. What else is inside?
Alexendris came out first. She thought it would lift her again but to her dismay someone came in a suit with a wheelchair.
"You're really stupid." he could not keep his promise to the young man
He felt the shock of looking at him, Alexendris' staff. This is the person carrying the wheelchair and pushing him into the house.
"I know and I'm proud." ignore its promise
He looked around inside and it was just as he expected. Very nice interior. The equipment is minimal and very spacious and very clean.
"Bring me ice. Now!" the young man commands the maid to greet
Confused, the poor woman obeyed what he had just asked. This man is from hell. The really bad habit.
"Why did you bring me here? You expect me to praise your house?" he asked bored
"My house is beautiful and I don't need your complements for it to be called one."
The yabang!
"Why then?" he asked impatiently
Alexendris stood in front of her. He put his hands inside his pocket. He looked so handsome and intimidating but right now. Celestine just wanna strangle him to death.
"You guess."
He was even prophesied!
"I won't guess!" he disgusted the harvest
His forehead twitched again. That's how he is when he starts to get bored. Gradually he mastered the young man so it was no longer difficult to guess the man.
"Just guess!"
'Kay. Fine!
"Are you going to house me?" he asked bored
"What ?!" His voice sounds like a thunder inside the house
"You said guess me? That's what I guessed. Why are you angry?" he asked innocently
The young man's face turned red because of annoyance and restraint, perhaps. Celestine doesn't care. He would let her die of annoyance just like how it bwisiten him.
"You said for one month. You'll do everything that I want."
Wait ... Why does he seem nervous about what this man is saying?
He didn't seem to like what he said next.
"What are you pointing at?" he asked confused
But he just smirked.
"There's a reason why I brought you home."
He just stared at the young man as if he was losing his mind while his chest seemed to explode due to nervousness.
"Cooked for me. I like what you cooked earlier."
Stop me! I will choke it!


MADIDISLOCATE NA ATA her jaw moves just to reduce her overflowing annoyance with the man. He was just brought to his house to cook?
Her toughness!
The hardness of the face!
Even if he wants to hit the man. He just chose to cook. He has no choice. He kept on threatening her that she would be imprisoned for trespassing and her prostitution.
"Is that still a long time?"
He glanced at it sitting on the highstool. Facing the laptop and typing. He stared at Alexendris even though he couldn't see him.
"Wait there. What do you think of cooking? Just put everything and boil it and then it's okay?" his sarcastic answer
"Stop nagging. I am just asking." its sharp answer back
"Don't ask so I don't do it!" asik niya
"Goddamn it!" weak droning of the young man to himself
Celestine rolled her eyes. He looked back at the cooking that was about to end. He just wanted to annoy the young man. At least it's a reward for its budgeting.
He turned off the stove when he finished cooking and then turned to Alexendris' assistant who was on the side. Waiting for someone to do something.
"Teh, penge plato." aniya
"All right Ma'am." it complied and handed him the plate. "I'm already there ma'am."
"Don't. I can do it." he refused
"Let her do it. It's her job." male groin
"Shut up there!" asik niya
"The fuck ?!"
The man is still struggling. He just stared at the frying pan while transferring the food to the plate and then placed it on the table, in front of the young man's frowning face.
"Don't you know how to smile? You're in front of food like that?" his sermon
He put the plate as well as the cutlery in front of it. He also took her and then sat down in front of it.
"Smile at the food for what? For respect because I am going to consume it later." He said sarcastically
"If that's how you're going to face the dining room table in our house. Maybe mama missed you." he was shaken
Celestine saved every piece of meat she was chewing when she noticed that Alexendris was slightly taken aback. His hand literally stuck to the right spoonful of food.
"Are you okay-"
"If you want to go home. Go home."
She blinked suddenly. All emotion disappeared from the man's face. It released the cutlery which created noise in the quiet surroundings.
Alexendris stood up and was about to leave when he grabbed her arm.
"T-teka!"
Alexendris piercing eyes bore at her. The man was emotionally blank so he didn"t know if it was anger or disgust. He's always hot-headed. He shall be cursing again or something. Not like this.
"Don't worry. My chaffeur will drive you ho—"
"Not that!" he stopped
"Then what ?!" he growled
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her disgusted voice. This is normal because he is used to it.
"It's bad to give up food so you sit there." he stood up and waved. "I worked hard to cook it and then you'll just turn your back on me!"
"I'm not hungry."
"Even though. You eat!" It's hard
He pushed the young man to sit down with all his might. He also put rice and a dish on his plate while Alexendris just watched him.
"Even if you have a bad habit. I'll prepare you. I know you're tired so you should take that back with food so you don't lose weight." saad nya
"Why are you so concerned at me when everyone wants me dead?" its sudden question that he stopped
"Even if it's annoying. Not once but always. I won't ask you to die. One more ..." he took a deep breath. "You don't really have a bad attitude. You just don't have much patience and you're insensitive."
"How sure you are i am what you think i am? Afterall, I am stranger."
He returned to his seat.
"If you're really bad. You should have imprisoned me a long time ago. You shouldn't have lifted me earlier and another, you are a gentleman. Okay?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and then looked down at the food. After a few seconds. It also started to eat.
He just smiled and then we continued eating. She kept on telling him stories even if the young man only spoke once. Sometimes he even interrupts.
But she thinks, that's really how the young man is. She can't change it anymore so she might as well just ride because that won't work. Even if they were together for a while with the young man.
Celestine already figured it out that she wasn"t as bad as others say. It's either they've misunderstood him or they want to take him down by it. That's really it.
At least, he knew in himself that Alexendris is not what people said he is.
HIS FOREHEAD FUCKED as he watched the girl circling in his living room. She kept on touching his figurines like it was some kind of gold.
"Can you sit down?" He said, irritated
Celestine glanced at him. Once again he looked back at his hand.
"Just look." its complaint
"It's just figurines. Put it back. You don't want to run out of debt to me, right?" he said with a sigh
Fortunately, she did put it back then sat on the single sofa.
"Am I not home yet? What time is it? I'll be in tomorrow." Celestine said
He did not answer immediately. His hands automatically stopped tapping in his laptop's keyboard. He didn't like what he just heard
"Why are you in a hurry? Let me finish here first. I'll deliver you." saad nya
"I don't want to! I want to go home. So I can rest for a long time." it yawned and lay down on the single sofa it was sitting on. "I'm sleepy too."
He leaned in his sofa staring at the woman. Clinging and curling up in the chair.
"Then sleep. I'll just wake you up."
The girl who was lying on the padin turned her back on him. It didn't answer so he assumed she's sleeping.
He stared at her for minutes before sighing and closing his eyes.
I am not liking this
He was startled to feel the vibrate of the cellphone inside his pocket. He fished it out his pocket. His jaw clenched when he saw the caller's ID.
"What?"
"I haven't seen you for months now Alexendris. I'm expecting you tomorrow ..."
"Is my abscense not enough to tell that I'm done with your shit ?! Stop calling me." He hissed
"I'm expecting you tomorrow ..."
His jaw clenched in anger. He wants to get lost. He's just controlling his self for the woman sleeping on his sofa. He's so fucked up.
"Fuck you!" her singhal
He turned off the call and then threw the cellphone on the table. He closes his eyes tightly. He can feel the fury running through his veins.
"Are you okay?"
He instantly opened his eyes when he heard that tired voice. Celestine's awake and she's looking at her, curious.
"I'm not." He said without thinking
He was surprised by her reaction but he did not show it. He simply averted his gaze.
"You look like a choker again."
His forehead furrowed. "What ?!"
"Walaaa." it stood up and stretched. "Is that over? I really want to go home!"
His blue eyes bore at her. He quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit down. Celestine stiffened when he use her lap as his pillow.
"I want a massage." he closed his eyes
"A-what?"
"Hair massage. I'm stressed." sagot nya
"I don't want to—"
"Just do it. Don't be artistic."
He heard her murmured incoherent words at him but do it anyway. He released a soft sigh before drifting slowly to sleep.
He doesn't know what magic Celestine has that he always finds peace.

He sat comfortably in his usual seat here at the fast food chain where he regularly eats. He was with Ericka who was very fond of eating chicken with gravy. Van, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes at her.
"It's good you're still alive." Van's sarcastic promise
Ericka looked up at the two of them.
"Huh? What happened?" question it immediately
He scratched his head as Van's eyes deepened on him.
"Your friend. It's causing trouble again!"
Ericka turned to him with a frown.
"What did you do again huh?"
He would have said in front that he was Van who was starting to eat. Ericka's eyes almost widened at what she heard.
"Are you crazy ?! Haven't I warned you not to mess up or even get close to that man. What if your parents found out?" its sermon
"I know it's wrong but it's already there. The important thing is I found a way." her defense
He took the coke and sipped it. The eyes of the two were narrowed at what he said. They're doubting what way she made.
"What way?" Van asked
"I made a deal and he agreed so everything is okay. Don't worry." he assured
But Van and Ericka were still doubting so they didn't ask him a question. Celestine has no choice but to answer the two.
And the jaws of the two almost dropped when he answered. Ericka bit her lip.
"That's crazy Celestine! Out of all the things you can offer. That's it ?!" Ericka exclaimed
"Eh, because ..." he scratched his head. "I couldn't think of anything during those times. Don't fight me anymore!"
"My gosh Celestine! Your curiousity is really taking you everywhere!"
He frowned. She knows that she really has a headache and sometimes, it seems like I don't have the brain to act but when it comes to her curiousity. He could not control himself. Every question must have an answer for her.
"Don't stress that. It already happened. Let's just thank that he didn't hit back on your parent's business. We all knew him. He's ruthless. You're lucky to be in that situation after you teach him." Van shuddered
"I know." his weak promise
Everyone consider Alexendris as short-tempered, ruthless and insensitive but to her. He is not like that. Celestine can see through him and she only notices one. Lack of care.
She's not mocking him or something. He is literally saying that because he has encountered such a person several times. Alexendris must've experienced horrific things when he was young so that's how the young man acted.
"Be careful around him. That man is known for his ugliness." Ericka's reminder
He just laughed at that. Alexendris's always frowning face came back to his mind every time he ran out of patience. She always pisses off Alexendris but he never hits her. That's also one of the reasons why he knows deep inside that ampalayang is good.
"I can handle that asshole, trust me." he said with a laugh
Ericka just frowned at her, as well Van. He was finishing his meal when his cellphone rang. She checked it out.
"I need to go." he was in a hurry to say goodbye
"Where are you going?" Van asked.
He could no longer answer Van's question. He picked up the bag and hurried away. Fortunately, he had a taxi parked so he quickly got on and reached the young man's house.
"Lady Celestine." opening to him by the guard
He was slightly surprised at what it called him.
"I-I am. Is your boss already there?" he asked
"Sir is waiting for you inside."
He went inside. He even asked the maids where the grass was. He saw it in one of its living rooms in the west wing. He's drinking. Napameywang tuloy sya.
"It's noon. Are you drinking alcohol? Do you want to say goodbye early? What a race!" his sermon
He walked in front of it and snatched the wine glass from its hand. He thought Alexendris would complain to him but he didn't. She stared at the young man's face.
His blue eyes were blank staring at the glass center table. It seems that something is right but the thought has overcome the right of alcohol. He's spacing out.
"Hey! Are you okay?" he shook his shoulder
"I'm not."
There is a problem ..
Alexendris leaned on and closed his eyes. Its breathing is violent as if it is trying to calm itself. Her curiousity started again. Unknowingly, his eyes dropped to her hand. Her eyes widened. Its fists are bleeding.
"A-what happened to the hand ?!" he asked in a panic
He got up and immediately looked for an assistant to get a first aid kit and then returned to Alexendris. He's eyes were still closed.
"Did you fight? Why is my hand so sore ?!"
"You have a lot of questions." its complaint but in a calm voice
He narrowed his eyes even though the man was closed. He is already concerned. It's still rugged. Tsk!
"Aw! Fuck!" its moan
He intended to increase the amount of alcohol in his hand. She smiled smugly before saying 'ops'. The young man thought he would be killed but he didn't retreat his hands.
"I know your behavior is bad but we can still change it." aniya. "It's just like being grateful when someone concerns you."
"Did I tell you to care? Not, right? So shut up. Clean my wound."
His jaw moved at the bwiset because of his answer. She smiled plastically at the young man.
"Is that so?"
"Aw! Fuck! Let go of my fucking hand!" He hissed loudly
He held one of his hands tightly as he pressed cotton on his fist despite Alexendris howling in pain.
"Just wait. It's close." She said in a sing-song voice
"Celestine! Stop it! Goddamn it! It hurts."
He felt pity so he stopped. He stood then waved in front of it. It bit the fist that was hurt.
"It hurts, doesn't it? That's how the people around you feel every time you speak. It hurts. Do you want to grow old alone? How can you find a woman. The forever if that's how you tend to beat you ?!" shivered his sermon
"I'd rather live alone than make a goddamn effort to someone who would live me eventually. I'd rather be ruthless than be nice to someone who would take advantage of me." it raised the gaze
She paused for a moment as soon as their eyes met. His eyes were cold but there are something more to it.
She is in pain.
"I don't need any love from any people who would just hurt me." He said through gritted teeth. "I'd rather kill or die than love Celestine."
He let out a violent breath then patted the man's forehead. His eyes widened. Shock of her reaction.
"I thought you were just lacking in caring. You also lacked courage. You know, you're just afraid to try because you haven't felt the joy of someone who loves you."
His jaw clenched. He slapped her hand away and glared.
"Your words won't change anything."
"Incapable." he sat down next to it. "You just have to try. Will you just allow pure pain? Of course there should be fun."
Suddenly the young man became silent so he turned to it to find out what it was thinking. He just looked straight at the wounds on his hand that he had bandaged.
"Try?" he murmured
When he laughed, he stood up. He just followed the look on it.
"I'm used of this life. I don't need whatever you're talking about. Go home. I shouldn't have told you to come." the man went back to being rude
She just followed the man's gaze as he walked away. Celestine sighed. He was shaken.
"She really lacks aruga. Tss."
