Chapter 49

"I'm tired of this kind of society. I'm not going to say that I'm tired of this world because the world has nothing to do with it, we're just living in this world. The number one problem is the people around us."

I raised my hand and put my arm around him, patting his shoulder lightly.

"What can we do? This is the new world of you, the one that just keeps up with the flow of the environment. Let's just try not to mind them, we have different lives to care for and to live."

He sat up and I also removed my hand from his shoulder.

"I want to ask you something,"

"Hmm, what's that?"

"This is related to what we're talking about today." I read my lower lip before nodding at him.

"How does it feel to have someone who loves you?"

"Uhm, happy! She feels good of course." I promise.

I was taken aback by his stare at me now so I just drank alcohol.

"What do you think of me Elyse?" He asked me, I was confused by that question.

"Huh?"

"What do you think of me? Do you think anyone will like me?" I suddenly laughed.

"I thought so. Of course there is! Because you're so handsome, a lot of people will like you!"

"Is that really so? What if I'm not so handsome, no one will like me?

Why is that what I often hear from women, when they are handsome many will like ... "

"Can't it be based on a man's character? Do you have to be handsome to be liked by someone?"

"That's not what I mean. It's true that many people will like you because you're handsome, it's also true that women often look for handsome but the word love is different from love, especially when you love a man or when you first learn Love him, accept what he is. Like mapa whether you are ugly or handsome, whether you have bad manners or whether you are kind, as long as he accepts everything. "

"There's also a woman who looks handsome and then she doesn't fall in love with someone who isn't handsome, in other people's eyes that man is ugly but in the woman's eyes he is the most handsome. That's how I was when I was in- I love Daren, I'm not saying Daren is ugly, but I'm also not saying he's so handsome, that there's really nothing like him. "

Maybe then yes, when I was still in love with him.

"What I mean is it's really very different when you're loved first, because you're just looking at him and even if another man passed by in front of me, I didn't have a boyfriend. I remember then, there was a handsome man beside me but when I think he's always compared to Daren, who is even more handsome, that I wouldn't trade him for that. "

"What an idiot, he's already lucky to have someone like you." I heard it say before you consumed the wine.

"I wish someone would love me for who I am, not just because I'm handsome."

"You're kind so I'm sure someone will like you, the only thing missing is time for him to get to know you like that ... wait! You're not interested in dating either! What's that? You'll just expect that woman by chance." I looked at him with a shake.

"I'm just asking duh," I laughed at its behavior.

"Don't fuck me Xander, you look gay!" Laughing I said.

"Tell me Elyse, am I happy with you?"

"Yes but sometimes no ... joke!" I laughed again.

I stopped laughing when he spoke. "You're laughing, are you happy right now?"

"Yes, I'm happy." I smiled at him and so did he.

"Thank you." He hugged me and I hugged him back.

"Thanks for being here, thanks for coming into my life." The sweetness in the ear that I hear him thanking me, the sweetness in the feeling when someone thanks you.

"You're welcome ... always." He slowly lost his grip on me and so did I. He looked me in the eye, I swallowed one after another because our faces were so close now.

I noticed that he looked down at my lips so I was more nervous.

Is this a dream? Maybe I'm imagining it again today.

"Can I kiss you?" My eyes widened a little at his question.

"Can I ...?" I didn’t know what I was thinking, I said nothing, I just nodded in response.

He brought his face closer to mine and I just closed my eyes. I felt something soft touch my lips and I knew it was Xander's lips.

He touched both my cheeks and I slowly lifted my hands and then wrapped them around his shoulders.

His lips did not move so I was surprised. I opened my eyes as he moved a little away from me.

"H-I don't know how to kiss."

He seems to be ashamed of me.

I bit my lower lip to avoid laughing.

"I'll teach you," I said and I was the first to kiss her.

I am no longer in the right frame of mind. The only thing on my mind is to kiss her and make the most of this moment.

I woke up and was held by my head because it hurt suddenly.

I rolled my eyes around and there was too much light around. I looked to my side and Elizabeth was gone.

"What time is it?" I asked myself in surprise and stood up to pick up my cellphone.

My eyes widened because when I looked at the time it was close to 9 am. Nako! Elizabeth is still busy!

I left the room while holding my head. "My father, why is my head so sore?"

I went downstairs and when I came to the table I saw a letter. 'I'll deliver Elizabeth' I read on the small piece of paper. I was able to breathe a little easier because don, I just sat on the chair first and sighed.

There was a glass of water here on the table so I took it and drank it all. I was surprised when my cellphone suddenly rang.

I smiled when I saw Mindy, I immediately answered her call.

"Hello, Mindy!" I was born with him.

[Elyse? Why did you just answer my call now? I'm already upset with you.]

"I'm sorry Mindy, I left my cellphone at Xander's house."

I frowned because even though I can't see him, I know he's frowning now.

[Why? Did you leave? Where have you been?]

"What's the matter, it's just a long story."

[Tell me a story quickly! I'm here at church now,]

"Huh? What are you doing there?"

I asked him in astonishment.

[Signal, high signal here, right.] He said laughing so I laughed too.

Yes, he is right, the signal is high. Back then, those of us who knew each other had cellphones, when they wanted to facebook or someone wanted to call, they would go to church just to don.

[All right, let's talk, you! You're keeping it a secret from me!]

"What happened like this ..."

_

[Wait, he's bringing your son? Elizabeth?]

"Yes," I nodded.

[Are you done? Kinikilig? Maybe you'll f-fall for him ah!] He said something to teasing me.

"Gagu not so!"

[Don't deny Elyse, do you like her?] I suddenly fell silent at her question.

"H-No ah!"

[Sus kunware ka pa!]

Suddenly my head hurt so I cried.

[Oyy? Are you all right?] He asked me worriedly.

"I just have a headache,"

[Huh? Take medicine, do you have a fever now?]

"No more, I'm fine. I don't know if I don't remember much about what happened last night ... just in case I really forgot something."

[What happened last night? Remember ... wait, what are you going to drink?]

"Drink?" I asked myself and it was as if I remembered a little of what happened last night.

"Ahh, yes! I had a drink with Xander then ... then ..." I covered my mouth remembering the kiss we shared last night.

"What the f ** k ..." I couldn't help but say.

I was amazed to gradually remember everything.

No ... No freaking way! Impossible a!

Maybe I'm just imagining? Or maybe it's a dream, what seems to have happened that I thought was true but just a dream. Is it so impossible ...? Why are we kissing non?

'I will teach you'

I covered my mouth.

Tang*na panaginip nga talaga yon, ba't ko naman sasabihin yon no! I will teach you? Gagu ang sagwa ...

[Hey? Elyse? Are you okay? Why didn't you continue? What just happened?] He asked one question after another. How can I answer that, I don't even know what happened to us.

I'm confused, if we really kissed ... what happened then? Why did I wake up in the bedroom? It's not that I expected something to happen between the two of us but it seems like that ... joke. Isn't that so? How did I get to my room? Did he make me?

Hayst is really hard when you don’t remember afterwards. Maybe what happened after that isn't exciting anymore because I don't remember. It's also possible that after we kissed he pushed me, I fell to the ground and then he took pity on me and pulled my foot into his house and took me to the bedroom ... I'm good at imagining.

[Uhm, hello? Is there anyone else? Are you still alive there Elyse?] I suddenly woke up because of Mindy. I almost forgot, I forgot that we were talking about it.

"Ahh, what's the matter ..." I scratched my head and wondered what to say to her. I was about to speak but suddenly someone rang the doorbell.

"Mindy let's talk later ah, go ahead bye be careful there!" I promised and he immediately lowered the line.

I was holding onto my chest because I was suddenly nervous. I don't even know where this shiver came from in my chest.

I stood up to hear the doorbell again. "Is Xander a?" I asked myself.

But he didn't ring the doorbell ...

I mean, he doesn't ring the doorbell because he's going straight inside, why does he even ring the doorbell, isn't it, this is his house.

I stepped closer to the door and I heard the doorbell over and over again. To my recollection Mrs. Ferrer was the only one who rang the doorbell like that ...

I suddenly stiffened when I opened it and now I am facing Mrs. Ferrer.

"P-Bitch ..." It's too weak to say to yourself.

"Ohh, ija good morning!" He said and was about to hug me but he suddenly covered his nose.

"Woah, your smell ... ija? Did you drink? Amoy alak ka kase." Faster than faster I smelled myself if clothes as well as breath.

Sh*t! I smell wine.

I was nervous to laugh.

"I-I didn't drink Mrs. Ferrer, I was drenched in S-Sir Xander's alcohol ... last night I just forgot to get dressed, I'm really sleepy." I promised and I tried not to stutter but I still stuttered but it's okay, it doesn't seem that obvious.

"Oh? Xander drank?" He asked biting my lip. Why did I say that, I got through but I'm going to have a problem with Xander!

"O-Yes, but it's just because you threw more alcohol at me ha..hahah." I said and tried to laugh. He nodded and smiled at me so I'm a little less nervous now.

"Ahm, come in. I'm sorry I forgot to let you in heheh."

I opened the door even more and he came in, I broke it and looked at him with all my eyes now inside.

"By the way, where's my son? Where's Xander? Is he in the room?" He asked me one question after another.

He turned to me and waited for my answer. "Go away," his eyebrow rose suddenly.

"What? Where?"

I'm really dead of it! How can I say? That Xander left to take my son to school?

What would be his reaction when I said that?

*Imagination*

"Oh Mrs. Ferrer, Xander left, I took my son to school."

"What ?! What do you think of my son! Driver !!" It told me angrily.

*End of imagination*

Yes, that's right! Maybe that's what he thinks so I shouldn't tell him especially since Xander has been doing the housework here for the past few days, maybe he won't only tell the driver but also the assistant.

'What do you think of my son's driver and assistant ?!'

I'm sure that's what he'll tell me and then slap me ... it's a pain non for sure plus we'll be kicked out of Xander's house, the pain is double non!

"Ija? Do you know where my son went?"

"U-Uhm, a-ahm ... k-kase ..."

I can think of no excuse! If I just say so I don't know? But what if he asks Xander? Or maybe Xander can go home now after he sees Mrs. Ferrer here?

"I'm waiting Elyse," she said making my chest tremble even more. Just wait! I haven’t even thought of a good excuse hayst!

I was about to speak but suddenly I heard the door open. I would have smiled because he had already arrived but suddenly it disappeared when I saw who was with him...

Oh my god! What is he doing here...?

"Mommy!" Elizabeth ran to me and hugged me.
