Chapter 19 He drunk

I woke up early and miraculously I would still be alive after I did that, I stood up slowly I felt myself. My body doesn t hurt like it used to. What they say seems effective. I fixed myself and wore a pajama again, I had almost nothing to do and was still looking for distraction. I grabbed the phone and texted him and to say thank you. It also helped somehow. But I was about to hang up the phone when it rang again, but it didn't come from Fred.
Kev:
Good morning Annika, I'm going to the bookstore in the afternoon, can you buy something?
To Kev:
Don't know, but I will come with you, I will buy something.
After I sent, I dried my hair and never answered his message again. He will pick me up at one o'clock later. I decided to open the gifts a month after sitting on that table, I sat down on the chair and then put my foot on a chair. I removed the gift wrappers one by one and inevitably smiled. I made sure I turned my back on the door so that what happened last night would not happen again. The earphones were just plugged into my ear and the songs were playing loudly. Each gift had a note included, the earlier I read them the more I smiled.
Writing a letter is the best gift, ever.
They are mixed with humor especially with the men I know, and of course, with the man who is why uncle is thinking about me now.
One time, I caught him, he took me a picture while I'm writing. So by the way, he sketched me. I look very similar to that and really detailed everything including my mole near under my eye. Someone even told me that that mole meant something because it often went through tears. I don't believe in such a thing because there is no basis.
Some I received were pure books while others were material things that I also used often. But I was even more surprised by Veron's gift, a magic pillow with a photo on it. I knew it wasn't me because I didn't take a picture like that, it was clearly pouty. This is not me. I arranged myself and then decided to leave the room, even before I could go down the stairs I could already hear the voice of Aunt Ezra behind me. He was talking on the phone.
"Don't wait for me to go there, I'm telling your kid, I'm going to swallow all your medicine, do you understand?" annoyed it says on the other line.
I seem to know who he is referring to. Aunt doesn't have a headache with Sevein, the youngest.
I slowly walked away from her and greeted my uncle who was busy having coffee. I simply lay down on his shoulder which he immediately felt. I want to invite uncle to eat out, but I'm busy. I felt it kiss my forehead.
"Anything?" he whispered.
I just shook my head and tilted my cell phone slightly while still lying on his side. I could see the astonishment on its face and just shook my head back to the coffee. I'm still wondering. Why doesn't he just want to get married? It's a shame after all, and one more thing, no one will use Ficarro next. No Ficarro will survive in case my siblings and I change our last name. Uncle is the only Ficarro man left.
I know that he wants to forget everything as well as the wheel happenings. Uncle is my ideal man. So maybe until now I had a hard time finding someone like him because he was weird. He is unique. Everyone is unique in their own way.
"I'm leaving, Kevin and I will just buy something later," I said.
"How much do you need?"
"Nah, I have my own. I just want to tell you," I replied immediately.
He just laughed and then sipped his coffee again. I don t know how Veron manages to be sweet to uncle. I want to do but I don t know how. I'm not comfortable to express my feelings, to say anything sweet. I am not numb.
Soon after Kevin arrived, I just wore pajamas and a fitted shirt. I just combed my hair so as not to see my skin in the back. It wasn't too hot because that afternoon, it was also a bit shady but I hope it doesn't rain. The flow of our conversation was normal, as if nothing had happened to admit, he just didn't really want to be deceived and from what I could see that seemed to be the only way to get rid of what was bothering him. Weird. After we bought his sister's necessities and ate we went straight to the national bookstore, I want to buy something new, something I will never read again.
I only bought three books and I don t know why I chose that. Even Kevin was wondering too but I just widened my eyes at it.
"R-18, huh," Kevin promised with a laugh after I paid.
"Even if you're barren Kevin, only now can I read like this," I smiled as his eyes widened. I want to explore.
I don t know if I m an open minded person when it comes to this kind of thing, but I can t help but stare especially at the pictures I see I see on the internet. Hell yeah, I'm curious, instead of do that fvck things, I rather to read this one. Only my brain is to blame and not the body.
I noticed a paperbag he was holding that I hadn't noticed before, I just let it go and then looked at where we were going. There are a lot of people who are almost exchanging faces. Not surprisingly, we are close to Phase 1 so this is the surroundings. Phase 1 is One of the largest amusement parks in the Philippines.
Everything is here, there are also places here that are just quiet. "Do you want to go home?" Kevin asked as soon as we stopped in a seat opposite the fountain just near the parking lot. I shook my head then watched the high water gushing down.
"I don't want to first. The people in the mansion are busy," I simply promised.
I never heard it answer again, I was just surprised because it immediately gave me ice cream that I didn t refuse you. Chocolate flavor, my favorite. While talking about things about jobs, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I feel like someone is looking at our other people, but every time I look around people are busy just walking by. Maybe it's just tired.
"Hey, your filth," Kevin whispered pointing to my face.
"What?" I quickly wiped my lower lip but it made me laugh even harder. "Are you teasing?" I asked annoyed because we were already looking at each other.
"Look at your tissue. Traitor." When I looked at what he was saying I was so shocked to see the scattered melted ice cream on my tissue, I immediately feltg stickiness of my mouth and surrounding it.
Kevin quickly stood up laughing took his handkerchief and gently wiped me. I did nothing because my hand was also dirty. It took a clean tissue so I cleaned myself right away.
"Thanks — Oh my god!" Kevin's rapid fall to the floor made me cringe, gripping his jaw.
I quickly looked at who it was, I was so shocked when I saw it hit Kevin so I pushed it causing him to fall to the floor.
"You stop!" I scolded the man who still couldn't stand up until now.
I approached Kevin immediately with a bruise and his nose was bleeding. I didn t know what to do anymore, I just wanted to get lost in that place because of the crowd watching us. It would have been appropriate for Kevin to jump when the man with the squinting eyes and looking drunk appeared, his eyes narrowed and he smiled and pointed at me.
"Z-Zeke?" I whispered and Kevin and I looked at each other.
I quickly helped Zeke whose body was so heavy that it could fall down at any moment. We looked at it but it turned to Kevin again.
"I said stop! Zeke!" I rebuked for re-worshiping it.
"Annika..." he whispered which I almost didn't understand.
I was in front of Zeke and prevented his body from getting close to Kevin who was confused by the incident.
"I can handle this, just go home Kevin. I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry," I said to him as he nodded softly.
"I'm okay. He's drunk, it looks like he doesn't know us anymore," he said wiping his lip.
"I'll take care of Zeke. I'm sorry Kevin," I apologized.
I quickly looked at Zeke who was rolling his eyes staring at me, he was frowning as he stared hard and recognized who I was.
"Let's go!" I was weak and then he was suspicious.
It was awkward when I walked, so I carefully supported it. I don t know how he got here, he was carrying nothing even me except his wallet and his body. I quickly hailed a taxi and gave Zeke's address. Fortunately, he didn't scratch and make noise. His head just rested on my shoulder so I could feel its hot breath and the smell of wine that looked sweet. Looks like I already know what it took.
The Arcus brand. Poor.
When we got down to a subdivision, the guard immediately smiled at me. I don't know if he knows or what. When I saw Zeke's house I just gasped because of the height of that fence. I don t know if he was hiding drugs or what.
"Where's your key?" I asked the man who was still holding me.
He pointed to what s at his gate that I don t even understand what it is.
"What?" I whispered again but there was something pointing at the gate.
I could do nothing but search him, I just searched carefully because I might have handled it wrong, fortunately and the key was behind him. But no, this is not the key to the gate.
I couldn't continue what I was about to say when the two of us leaned against the gate so I could feel his lips on my neck. I heard an opening so I stood up straight and then I noticed that there was what pressed Zeke to the iron behind me.
This time it finally fell on me. The weight of its body felt like I was lifting it. But his playful hands did not escape me because the tightness of his grip on my waist caused me to feel something strange. My body heats up that I can t understand.
