A/N: I dedicated this chapter to @IdlewildReaders because I want to express my gratitude to her for making a cover for the story :) I really appreciate it. Enjoy reading :)
You ready?
Daron requested na iwan ko nalang daw yung sasakyan ko sa parking ng condo ni Avril. When I told the girls that I'm gonna go to Daron's house they frantically reacted. They keep on insisting na ang bilis naman daw yata ng 'meet the parents.' As if naman that's the reason kung bakit kami pupunta. I went there because of the request of Zaye and I also want to meet her twin.
I nodded at Daron and he opened the door of his car. When I'm already inside, I can smell his manly scent. I actually like the smell. Hindi siya masakit sa ilong. I saw a lot of medical books, papers related to medicine, some compact disks and many more stuffs that could help him in the field. I suddenly wanted to borrow the books.
"Can I borrow this one?" I showed him the book and he nodded.
"Naisip mo ba minsan to quit modeling?" I got his attention after a few minutes of silence. I was just curious because pagsabayin ba naman ang modeling at med? That's too challenging. I can attest to that.
I thought na ako lang ang nagmomodel na kumukuha ng medicine course. It's true na mahirap pagsabayin ang dalawa. I haven't heard of someone pursuing medicine na nagmodel before. My Mom, she was a model but that was during her high school years. When she went to college, she gave modeling up.
Modeling while studying medicine is a risky choice. I promised myself that I will do my best because I really needed the money I could gain from modeling. I convinced myself that I can do it. It requires good personal scheduling and self- discipline and I believe I have that one! I need to believe in my talents and skills.
Most people believe models just have photo shoots everyday, but actually no! Bookings don't always appear to be regular. Daron does modeling as a part-time job, too. I don't know kung saan niya gagamitin ang pera na nakukuha niya. He's famous even if he doesn't have a long pile of projects! Kapag nagkaproject naman siya, madami ang nag-aabang. That's the reason kung bakit ako dinumog ng mga tao when I became his parter.
"I want to also earn my own money," He said.
"For what? You have money!" I said confused. He can't have the same reason with me! His parents aren't strict and I can see that they're supporting him in whatever he does.
"How 'bout you? May I ask? You have money, right?" He countered. I went quiet after the question. He doesn't know of how my dad treats me. We never talked about my personal life. Does he even know our family issue?
"I need the money," Yun lang sinabi ko. At least, I didn't lie, right! It's true I need it. My mother warned me that I shouldn't expect trust funds from my father. My mother is the one providing my needs for college. This is also the reason why I'm doubting if Dad would really want me to manage the company. Maybe he wants me to stand on my own even when I'm still studying? Maybe they were treated that way, too?
It's confusing because father only does this to me. He answers all the whims of Zaila. I need the money for support. That's why no matter how hard will it be, I know I can be a model while studying medicine.
Di ko na namalayan na nakarating na pala kami. I realized it when the guards greeted us and opned the gates. So, this is their house? No, wrong term. That's a mansion!
It seriously looks like a castle. The pool in a weird shape in front of the house made it more stylish. A mermaid statue is also placed in the center of the pool, same with their fountain in the garden. The gate itself looked luxurious already. I'm sure there are more to expect inside.
Daron asked me to stay in the living room because he'll call his Mom and Zaye. He said that his dad is on duty in the hospital. Like mine, his parents are also both physicians.
Then, I saw a crying child going down the stairs. Palagi na ba talaga akong magpapatahan ng batang umiiyak?
"Kuya Axel! Huuuuuuuuhhhh! Huhhhhh!" I went near the grand stairs and I spread my arms wide open. Surprisingly, sumama siya. I was suppose to offer him a hug but I carried him nalang going to the sofa. Di niya naman ako kilala. Paano pag kidnapper pala ako?
"What happened to you baby?" I hushed him.
"Hinahabol po ako ng snake," Then he started crying again. Bakit kaya ang Kuya niya ang una niyang tinawag? Why not his Mom? Ahhh! I want to have a younger brother and sister!
"I dreamed bad po. Where's Kuya Axel po?" He asked turning his head.
"Tinawag lang saglit yung Mommy mo," I asked the maids for water while I was wiping the face of the kid. He's the twin of Zaye.
"What's your name po?" The kid asked.
"You can call me ate Iyah," The kid nodded and offered his hand just like how formal Zaye introduced herself.
"I'm Dawin Xyle Wood. Nice to meet you ate Iyah!" He's happy now. Zaye like last time, shifted her mood this fast, too.
I gave him the glass of water.
"Girlfriend ka po ni Kuya?" He suddenly asked after drinking the water.
"No, baby," Natatawa kong sabi.
"Ayaw po namin ni Zaye tawagin ng baby. But if it's you po, it sounds good so it's okay!" Nagsign pa siya ng thumbs up. Natawa nalang ako. Hinila niya ako paakyat sa staircase.
"Where are you bringing me?" He seem so eager to bring me upstairs.
"I'll show you something ate Iyah! Please!" He pouted and he looked so cute!
"Okay, but make sure it will just be for a while. Baka hanapin tayo ng Kuya mo," He nodded and then continued holding my hand.
We entered a dark room with a manly scent. Grabe naman ang pabango nito? Ang bata bata pangmalaki na ang bango!
"This is your room?" I asked Xyle.
He just shook his head and turned the lights on. When I saw the room I realized it's Daron's! I was about to go back but picture frames caught my attention.
"What the hell?" I whispered while getting the picture frame with my face. Xyle is already laughing and he got the camera, too. The camera contains all my pics! When did Daron even take this?
"Meron pa?" I joked I'm not expecting more but when Xyle nodded, I just followed him. I'm curious of what else could I see here about myself.
He showed me my baby pics and my pictures in Mode Exquise. My gosh! Where did he get this? Xyle sat in the sofa inside Daron's room and he asked me to stay there while looking at the pictures.
"They look so nice," I said and I heard the door opened.
"Fuck!," Daron cursed.
Before I can tell Xyle na don't follow his Kuya's words, kumaripas na siya palabas.
"Xyle!" Natatawa kong tawag. For sure, mapapahamak siya sa Kuya niya.
I laughed at Daron na napakamot nalang sa batok niya when he saw what I'm holding.
"What are these? Kindly explain?" I grinned when I said those. I stepped back when he stepped forward. Until nabangga na ako sa bed niya.
"Please, baby..give it to me," He pleaded, extending one of his arms to reach what I'm holding.
"No," I said teasing him.
He tried to reach for it again and I lost my balance. He fell with me.
Pag may magbubukas ng door, our position looks so weird. I pushed his chest so that he could stand but he's not moving!
"I will kiss you if you don't give it to me," He threatened. I didn't check all the photos yet. So, no way!
"Then, go!" Hamon ko. When I realized that he would probably do it, it's too late. He softly landed his lips on mine that it made me close my eyes.
"Da- ," he didn't even let me finish my sentence. He hungrily kissed me that I felt like I can't breathe. I opened my mouth to give him more access and he angled my head before pushing his tongue inside my mouth, tasting its corners.
He stopped and licked his lower lip.
"You look so good in bed," He chuckled. I slapped his shoulders because I was shocked of what he did.
"You responded. Let me calm first," He walked away, leaving me on his bed.
When the door closed, I placed the photos, camera , magazines back to the table. I just left it there. I don't know what's happening to me. The feeling when he kissed me is bizarre. I can't explain it. I've kissed boys before but I only felt that feeling towards him.
Tulala lang akong nakaupo sa kama until I heard a knock. Pagbukas ko, I saw the mischievous smile of Xyle and Zaye.
They laughed and went to me for a hug.
"Thank you for coming, ate Iyah!" Zaye said. She looked really happy that I'm here.
"Anong ginawa ni Kuya sayo ate?" Xyle asked. What kind of question is that?
"Wala naman," I blushed when I remembered what he did.
"He said ipasyal ka daw namin kasi gusto ni Mommy na si Kuya Axel ang susundo sa kanya sa supermarket," Xyle stated.
"He's on his way there already?" I asked and they just both nodded.
They brought me to their garden and we talked about some random things.
"Si Zaye ate Iyah, kaya siya maarte kasi ginagaya niya kilos ni Mommy!" Xyle complained.
"Mommy is my idol!" Zaye defended herself.
"Ikaw kasi, you like books to a very high extent na you don't notice your surroundings anymore!" Zaye said to Xyle.
"We're almost six. We have to know more and gusto ko kung ano ang ginagawa ko," Xyle answered.
"Actually, I was like Zaye before, Xyle," I decided to interrupt. Natatawa na ako because they can act as if di na sila mga bata but their childish side is still always seen. It's like gusto na nilang magmature.
"Really, ate Iyah?" Zaye looks interested now. I nodded and smiled at her.
"But, you don't look maarte ate Iyah," Xyle said.
"No, we're talking about sophistication," Zaye said.
"Like you Zaye, I also admire my Mom a lot. I admire the way she shows people that she's elegant, the way she moves and she talks with grace," I explained to Zaye.
"I want to see your Mom ate Iyah," Zaye suddenly exclaimed. She loves fashion and elegance, huh?
"She's busy, Zaye," I smiled at her.
"But, I have model friends," I told her and her face lit up.
"Bring them here! Ate Iyah! I want to dress them up," She excaimed.
"Zaye you don't need to request for that. Ate Iyah is a model!"Xyle said and then he laughed.
"You said you like fashion but you didn't recognize ate Iyah? The magazine of Kuya Axel!" Zaye ran to the double doors and when she came back, she's already bringing the fashion magazine of Mode Exquise.
She placed my pic near my face. She looked at the magazine then my face. Natutop niya ang bibig niya then she hugged me.
"Let's dress up ate Iyah! Please!" She tried to pull me.
"Yeah, later baby," I assured her. Will we buy clothes? Sa laki ba naman ng mansyon, I'm sure they have a lot of closets here.
"I'm jealous. Call me baby, please," Daron said and it was followed by a chuckle.
" Kuya Axel!" Both of them ran to their Kuya and hugged him.
"Mommy!" Nag unahan pa yung dalawa kung sino ang unang magmamano. When Tita saw me, she walked to my direction.
"Hello Tita! Good morning po!"I greeted her with a cheek to cheek. Then, nagmano na din ako.
"Hello, Iyah! Feel at home. Sorry, ikaw tuloy ang gagawing model nitong anak ko. Siya lang yata ang hindi magdodoktor sa pamilya," Tita said with joy in her eyes.
"No, Tita it's fine. I'm willing naman po," I assured her.
"Let's go inside. I'll cook while Zaye dresses you up," We all followed Tita inside.
"Daron, you bring them to my old room. I have a large closet there! I miss those clothes!," Tita said. She told us she'll change first and we don't have to wait for her.
I didn't have time to admire the interiors of Tita's room kasi hinila ako ni Zaye. She's so excited with this, huh! She brought me to a vanity table and she opened the drawers. Nilabas niya lahat ng make up and equipments needed for the hair. I wonder alam niya kaya kung paano magmake up?
"You know how to use these?" I asked her. She immediately shook her head.
Daron and Xyle are both sitting in the sofa, watching what Zaye is preparing.
"Ate Iyah, I'll tell you what shades and what to apply but you'll do it to your face. Same with the clothes, I'll choose what you'll wear and Kuya Axel and Xyle will judge your outfits,"
"You rate ate Iyah's outfits from 1 to 5, Kuya and Xyle. 5 as the highest. Okay?" Zaye requested.
"Okay let's start! Walang magagalit Kuya Axel!" Zaye suddenly said. Di niya naman ako siguro papasuotin ng bikini, right?
