Chapter 12

Maxine s POV
The eyes are still heavy but I slowly wrote you. Red ceiling, that was the first exposed in my sight. I slowly looked around the whole thing, familiar to me where I was. What am I doing here? I struggled to get up despite the weakness of my body.
I was holding my stomach tightly. I felt hungry, as in I was very hungry. How long have I slept and my stomach seems to be empty ?!
I was about to get out of bed when the door suddenly opened. Luke was the one who was spit on.
"Don't move." its gentle language though that command. It came in my direction and sat on the side of the bed. "How do you feel? Are you still in pain? Does your head still hurt? " it s a series of questions that can be toned down with concern.
I stared at Luke's face for a moment. I'm sure I saw Luke that night. There seems to be something wrong. And God forbid, where did the creature that attacked us that night come from ?!
"Maxine ..."
I forgot. "H-hah .."
"Are you okay?"
I nodded slowly. "I-I'm hungry." I'm still a little weak.
Something pressed Luke from the ding-ding near the headboard of the bed and spoke there. "Man, please bring me breakfast to my room. Right now."
"Lucas ..."
"Why?"
"How did you do that?"
It was slightly taken aback and averted its gaze.
"I do not understand you."
"I saw what you did. You were able to walk well after what happened. How do you lift that motor so easily? "
It took a deep sigh then looked at me.
"Sometimes, there are things you don't need to know. And it s better to leave it that way than messing yourself with things you don t know anything about. "
I wanted to protest but it didn t go ahead because of a series of knocks from the door.
"It's tomorrow, man."
An elderly woman was thrown out the door and was carrying a table tray of food. The Lady was a little surprised to see me but she didn't speak and walked straight in our direction.
"Thank you." I spoke politely as I laid the table tray in front of me. He smiled wryly but still did not speak. He also bowed to Lucas before finally leaving the room.
"Eat well.."
Even if he doesn t say I m really going to get full.
I was so hungry that I left the food in front of me.
"Slowly ..." Lucas laughed as he watched me.
"I'm hungry." I sniffed at him and I wanted to laugh at the shock because my mouth was full.
"Haven't you been taught proper manners. Don t talk when your mouth is full. " Luke whistled.
Once again I breastfed him. "There is no proper manners for a hungry person." a few rice spat out on its face.
Ayay!
"It's weird ..." he shook his head and wiped his face.
"I'm sorry ..." I apologized and then signed peace here.
NGIWING stared at me on the left side of my forehead. The wound has not healed from there. Mom might notice it.
"Let s go?"
I was distracted by that voice of Luke. It peeked out the door.
"Okay ..." I replied. I looked in the mirror again. I tied my hair and then wore a wide headband that I borrowed from Ate ni Lucas, she also lent me clothes to wear.
Luke held me by the hand while going down.
"Good day, Sir!" greetings from the old man who brought food to Lucas' room earlier. We met it on the stairs to the second floor while there were bedsheets being carried.
"Morning .."
We continued until the ground floor show.
I was amazed at the amount of motors I saw when Lucas opened the oversized garage, as if it was customized just for motors.
Lucas turned on a white motorbike and put on a helmet and turned it on.
"You all have that?" I asked curiously when it landed in front of me.
"Yeah. Hop in. "
I followed. Something pressed Luke from the hand causing the garage barrier to come down.
AZTIG!
The trip lasted only a few moments.
"Thank you." I whispered as the motor got off. We are already in front of the mansion where I work. "All right, I'll go first."
I turned and stepped toward the gate when Lucas spoke again.
"Wait."
I stopped and looked at it. "Why?"
He did not speak but pulled me closer with his hand.
I quietly went back to its habit. "Why?" I'll do it again.
He took off his helmet then stretched and quickly kissed my lips.
Bwesit! Good on him it's okay. He seems to be used to kissing just about anyone. Eh me, so not OKAY! I was affected!
"I ll pick you up tomorrow.
"What's tomorrow?"
"Monday. Don t you have a class, do you? "
I was stunned. So, I haven't been home for two days ?!
Waaaaaaa! Mom and I are dead!
"Your mother knows I'm with you." Luke said again as I frowned.
"H-hah? But ---. "
"I gotta go." it cut to what I would say and wore a helmet.
"Wait --- argh!" annoyed that I just followed the gaze of its moving motor.
I FOUND Mom cooking in the kitchen. It turned me slightly when it noticed perhaps my presence.
"Oh, I thought you were going to tutor your friend there for a week." he returned the attention to what was being done.
"Ahh k-kasi 'Nay .. kuan." I don't know what to say. So 'yon pala' yon --- tsk. "He's a quick learner, eh." I'm just sorry. "Uhm, did he come here?"
"Yes. On the night of your acquaintance party. "
Somehow I breathed a sigh of relief. I also didn't know what to tell Mom why I didn't come home for two days.
Beatriz s POV
I was very upset. That bitch is really pissing me off! I was on the veranda of the bedroom and looking out the gate. Luke had already left. Our good mutsatsa also entered.
"You're really getting into my nerve, Maxine." I whispered and went inside.
I'm about to get Hevo, he's just going to give it to me. But damn, that woman doesn t seem to be affected at all. He has a replacement right away, another HARRISON! What s wrong with that witch ?!
"Keinth Lucas .." I whispered under my breath. I can t help to burst an evil smile on my face.
I FOUND Maxine mopping the floor. It looks tired as well based on the sweat I see on the part of its forehead.
"Hey, bring me a glass of juice." I ordered it then passed it and sat on the couch. It quietly followed.
Eventually he was carrying a glass of juice from the kitchen. He laid it on the glass table. It was about to turn around when I removed the glass causing the contents to be spilled.
"Opps! Sari. But will you get me another one? " I smiled tongue. "Please clean up, hah."
He frowned slightly but did not utter a word. He just quietly picked up the glass and headed to the kitchen area.
"Soon I'll be able to evict you and your Mom .." I uttered in a lower voice and leaned my back against the couch. I barely turn a blind eye --- I m thinking.
"Etoh na po, Miss Beatriz."
I opened my eyes.
"Where have you gone for two days?" I asked and sipped a little bit of juice.
Long before it answered. "I just did something."
Tsk, there's his expressionless face again. Annoying!
"Lemme remind you, Maxine. You are paid here to work, not to wander. Do you get me? "
"I understand."
"Good. Learn to settle down. "
?
Maxine s POV
ALAS Seven ymedya tomorrow. I still go to school at nine o'clock but I decided to go to school earlier. It's hard, I might get sick again. Luke may never catch up with me. It's up to him.
But contrary to my expectations, he seemed to immediately pop up at me outside the gate.
Hays! Why does he always wake up earlier ?! With nothing to do, he was free to wander this early.
"Your morning, hah." I sniff here.
"You also. Are you planning to run away from me again? " it's also annoying to turn around.
Tsk, mokong is cute!
"No." I refused and just rode its motor.
"Did your mother scold you?" I heard Lucas ask as he started his motor.
"No. Why did you say that? " I'm referring to the tutor thingy it said to Mom.
"I can't think of anything, eh."
I sighed and hugged his waist slightly. "But thank you too. And at least Mom wasn't worried. "
It did not speak, but rather began to run the motor.
"THANK YOU Lucas." I drone and got off the motor. It took off the helmet so I suddenly backed away and crossed my arms over my face.
"What is that?" its a ridiculous question. "You look crazy."
"I don't know about you. There you are! " I turned my back to enter the gate.
Ayay! Muntanga lang. Tsk, maybe that arrogant person will kiss me again, I'll bite Miss Gillany again later.
"HI!" I smiled openly at Meghan when she arrived in the room. But to my surprise he did not speak and turned his gaze to the window.
Embarrassed, I just sat down and quietly took the book from my bag, I'll just read in advance for our lesson later.
Until Miss Gillany arrived Meghan still hadn't spoken to me.
What's wrong with her?
Ma am later started discussing.
I can't be bothered. Why doesn't he ignore me ?! What am I doing?
I simply glanced at Meghan, she was seriously listening to Ma am.
I WAS ALONE crossing the hallway of the Management building, I finished my first subject this morning, and at two o'clock in the afternoon the next. I couldn't help but feel sad, because Meghan left me. He hates me, I feel that.
Phone Ring
I automatically looked at the bag. I immediately picked it up and answered the call.
If arrogant.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"It's out --- ammpfft!" whatever I was going to say was cut off because of the strong smell of the handkerchief covering my nose and part of my mouth. I felt dizzy as my vision darkened.
