Idea

I rest my head on the car window. Everything looks the same in El Colmillos. I can't help but smile while looking outside the car window. It feels so nostalgic to be here again.

It's like it's been years since I've been here and I never really had a chance to say goodbye on my own because I have no memory of it. Mom said I slept all the way to Manila but I don't usually sleep on trips. I like to look out the window when we ride a car or anything.

We stopped at a big mansion.

"We're here," Alessandro said.

Is it just me or what?

Alessandro's house is not just an ordinary house. It's a freaking mansion!

I can't believe it. He is working a government job which pays well but not as I expected!

Or maybe his parents are actually wealthy. Now I feel so silly, wearing only a shirt and pants. I look very simple, who knows if they're actually wearing a gown inside this grand mansion!

I grew up here in El Colmillos but it seems like I just went to Alessandro's mansion. It's funny because I didn't know there was actually a House here.

I have no idea.

It's a bit far from us, so maybe Alta and I didn't pass by it before. Another thing is that Alessandro studied in Manila so he was not our classmate either.

But before I met him, he seemed familiar to me. Like I've seen him before somewhere.

After I met Alessandro's family, I stayed at their mansion.

Because they say I can't stay in our damaged house, even though it's pretty good, the basement has a big hole. I don't know how it got a hole. It's really surprising because the hole is really big, it's like a lot of people or monsters rushed in.

Much worse vampire.

Fuck!

What the heck are you saying Adra?

How about a vampire?

All that is just an illusion, because vampires are not real.

Another thing is that Mom doesn't want me to mention it. I'm used to not saying it because I know she would be mad, but she's not here so I guess it's fine.

Alessandro's family is nice, they actually look like him.

Of course Adra. They are his parents.

Of course, what was I thinking?

Thank you

But Alessandro's Mom is still very beautiful, his Dad looks like he's getting old, he's still happy! The appeal is not lost.

It can be a sugar daddy!

fuck

What am I even saying?

I shook my head.

I headed to the guest room where I will stay.

Alessandro is still downstairs talking to his parents. I think his parents are okay with me. It's just that the two of them look at us differently, it's like the way Mom talks.

I'm sure they are thinking that we look good together or that we are in a relationship.

Oh, how wrong they are.

Mom didn't even know I was in El Colmillos, fortunately Alessandro was a good hid.

I may not look at him as a boyfriend but he is definitely a trusted and good friend.

"Do you like it?"

I shrieked when someone spoke.

"Of course I do! I can't believe how huge your house is! It is a mansion. How come you didn't tell me?" I asked him as I sat down near the end of the soft bed.

"I don't have to brag about it, besides this is an old house Addy."

"Tsk. Even if it's not, it's beautiful! The museum can do it!"

"Really? Do you like it? Is the bribe over? Did our house make you see me differently?" He asked, smiling.

"Hey, no! You're thinking too much. Can't you just make your house really beautiful?" I asked him.

He laughed and sat in front of me.

"I'm kidding. I don't know if it's effective. You might fall because of that."

I stared at him. He looked at me waiting for an answer.

My eyes caught the veranda in the guest room. I went there. The whole forest can be seen here. I don't know why the forest here in El Colmillos seems familiar to me even though I've never been there.

I took a deep breath and looked at him, I found the right thing to say to him.

"It takes more than a mansion to make me fall, Alessandro."

"Like what?" He appeared beside me.

"I have no idea." I laughed.

It is true. I have no freaking idea.

He laughed with me and looked at the beautiful view of the forest.

I stared at him.

I frowned at him. Alessandro has a real resemblance. I just don't know who.

"El Colmillos is changing you, Adra."

"Huh?" My brows furrowed with what he said.

"What do you mean?"

"You are laughing genuinely now," he said.

"Hmm? I'm always smiling."

He leaned forward. "Not like this."

I looked at him puzzled. I don't know what Alessandro means. I just ignored it.

I slept well in the guest room. The bed was too big and soft. I don't know if the air conditioner was normal or if I left the veranda open because it was really cold!

My few days in El Colmillos passed quickly, Alta and I also met and went to the mall. I have a girl who collided with me that Alta is planning to fight because she didn't even say sorry but I let her go. Nothing will happen if he fights it. Another thing is that it's better to just let it go because it's terrible if Alta gets angry. I didn't really see the look of my bumping into me because he was in a hurry.

When we returned to their mansion, Alessandro was also amazed at his house. Even he couldn't believe that there really was a mansion that we hadn't been to.

We are currently on the veranda of my room. The veranda is big so there is a mini living room over looking the forest.

"Hey you! It's Alessandro's wealth too, where are you?" She said,

"Tsk. You're like their maids, teasing me too."

I became close to Alessandro's housemates. On the first day, Alessandro didn't allow me to leave, so I just talked to their maids. They say that his family is very kind. And they expect a wedding to take place because they say I am the firstborn girl he brought and introduced to his parents.

They are voting. Not sure about Alessandro's parents.

"Oh gosh! If I only knew! You like Alessandro too, don't you? It's better that you stay together so that Tita won't have any problems. I don't know how she got you to allow her, well she knows that—" she cut herself off .

"Huh?" I asked her.

Alta is always like this. Stop talking!

"W-nothing! It's just nothing. Wait, do you have a picture of you and Alessandro? Look!"

She said as she reached for my phone.

I immediately took it before he saw it. It frowned because of what I did.

He took the phone again, but I didn't let him.

I knew she would tell Mom when she saw my phone wallpaper. I drew a man in the forest and took a picture and made it as my wallpaper.

For the past few days, I can't help but draw something, and there is something about the forest that is pulling me. I also dreamed of a mysterious man calling my name in the forest. I don't know who he is but I felt like I knew him. I couldn't get my mind off of it so I drew him.

"What is that Adra? Don't you want to show it? Oh, you must have made Alessandro's shirtless pic your wallpaper!" She teased.

"N-no no!" I said.

He tried to take the phone, which is why I stood up, he laughed as he snatched the phone from me until we reached the grills of the veranda. My eyes widened as it slipped from my hand.

Shit!

I even threw my phone in the forest!

I didn't wait for Alta's reaction. I immediately ran down and went to it.

Even the maids who called me as if confused by my haste I ignored.

When I got to the forest, I quickly searched for you.

"Fucky shit! Where is that?" I groaned.

This is like Alta, the skin!

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, I knelt down and bent down just to see and get the phone.

"Fuck how am I supposed to find my phone here in the forest?!" I said in frustration.

I go further in the forest. I knelt and reached out for the phone when I noticed it under a tree branch on the ground.

How did it get here?!

It seems that the distance is too much!
