When I was already awake, I decided to go down straight to the kitchen because my pets on my stomachs are already craving for a lot of food.
I was busy walking to the kitchen when I heard someone arguing at the entrance door while they were entering this house and based on their voices, I knew that it was the voice of my oldest brother and our parents.
I immediately hid in the wall near me as they continued to argue in the living room and I saw my brother Lick, like he was really wasted. I felt sad on how he looks.
"Son, what really happened?" Mom's voice thundered inside the living room.
"Mom, can you please give me a break? I'm tired, I'm really really tired," my brother answered while he was loosening his necktie.
"Is this about what happened again in the office earlier?" I heard Dad asked while I was facing the back, both of them with our mother.
"Son, everything was already fine now about the company but, look at yourself. You're messed up, you looked like you have not landed a plane in a soft and good way," Dad continued speaking in a calm way while he was holding his waist in both sides.
But based on how Lick looks right now, he really likes he had a problem which is not that easy to find an easy solution so I decided to go with them but Lick spoke again.
"Dad, I'm fine, it's just that argh!!!" He shouted which made me shocked too. "Mom, Dad give me a break just for now please?"
He said who looked stressed right now and based on the emotion on his black eyes like mine, a sadness was evident on it. He must have a big problem then.
"Okay son, if you can't take it anymore. Please always remind yourself that we are always here okay?" Mom said as she walked to approach Lick and she immediately gave him a hug and he hugged her back too.
"Thanks Mom," he said and when Mommy finally let him go from the hug, Insaw that he gazed on Dad before saying, "I'm going stairs Dad."
He said and Dad nodded as we watched him walk up through the stairs, I decided now to go out from the walk and I walked near our parents before I asked them questions.
"Dad, what happened to my brother ?" I said softly as Dad glanced at me.
"We don't know sweetie, but when he called us earlier when we were still at the beach resort, his voice was shouting frustration but the problem of the company is not that big."
He answered me and I just sighed after he spoke because he looks like doesn't even know what was happening to my brother.
"But when I hear the voice of you brother, I can sense sadness and like he is hurt, heartbroken maybe?"
Mommy said and I doubt that because they were so in love with Eli, so how come that he might be broken hearted?
"Uh- I'll try to talk to him if that's the case so maybe I can help you guys," I said and both of them smiled sweetly and Mom caressed my hair, we are slightly the same height, not that short but not that tall.
"Thanks sweetie, maybe he is really heartbroken on Ely," Daddy said.
"How?" I asked curiously while looking at him.
"I don't know but that's what his friend told us earlier sweetie," he answered and I just nodded.
"He might be, then, my brother is unfortunate then" I commented.
"Yes sweetie and we'll go to our rooms to rest also okay?" Mommy said and I nodded again and smiled at them as they walked through the stairs.
I decided to finally go to the kitchen because I'm really hungry when a woman in a maid uniform called me saying, "Ma'am Lei someone is asking for you," she said which makes me frown because who might that person.
"Don't call me Ma'am just call me only with my name Lei," I said to her then she smiled.
"I'm not used to it, sorry Ma- I mean Lei," she said, which I laughed at. I remember, she is one of the new workers here, and her name is Inday.
"By the way, who is the one who is finding me again?" I asked her and she giggles exaggeratedly before she speaks.
"Uh that very handsome young man is finding you and he is one of our neighbors," she said still giggly, uhuh.
"Is he your suitor? You two looked good," she teased and I felt that my cheeks were turning to red already as I laughed awkwardly.
"You are joking again Inday, I'll go outside to see that handsome man you are saying."
I said and I made my way to the door and from here I saw that the gate was slightly open and the guard was not who carried my bag earlier, the guard now is the familiar one that I knew, he is Elmer.
When I already reached the gate which was near the guard house, I saw Xian from outside who was talking with the middle aged man- Elmer. Wait, why is he holding a dog, wait that's Dudong my pet!
"Hey! I shouted which makes Xian look at me which made him let go Dudong's dog leash and Dudong run to me actively.
Upon seeing me by the guard, he bid his goodbye because he already needed to go back to the guard house.
"I'll go back to the guard house Lei," he said and I nodded, he was calling me Lei already because that's what I told him.
"Oh, Lei Piggy is already here," I heard Xian exclaim and I just make face towards at him who is smiling, sexily.
"What are you doing here?" I said with a harsh tone which made him pouted his lips, cute, no he's not.
"Tss, you forgot what I told you earlier huh? I said I'll make a visit to you," he complained and I ceased my forehead acting like I didn't remember anything.
"Uh, earlier?" I said and he nodded, "Uhhh, I am so sorry I forgot about it," I said teasing him and his aura became dark again.
What's wrong? Hahah I'm just kidding.
"By the way, before I'll forget, My grandfather asked me to give this to you," he said and he handed me a paper bag. "That is from him."
He continued when I was already holding the paper bag he just handed and I'm curious what is inside it.
"What's with this?" I asked while staring at him directly to his brown eyes.
"What if you'll open it?" He uttered but it's in a sarcastic tone. And I was about to open it when he stopped me, which made me breathe deeply.
"We-wait, can you open it later when you are already inside your house? I'll leave now."
He said coldly and I don't know why I felt a little pang on my chest on how he talked to me, it felt like I got hurt by just only how he talks to me.
"Uh, don't you want to enter first?" I offered because I'll eat later and maybe he wants to accompany me.
And yeah? I wanted his presence a little longer? Uh what's wrong with you Leiva??
And from his stoic expression, it changed to a surprised one and I rolled my eyes on him. Is he a bipolar or something?
"Wow?" He uttered and he even walked to go near me and he put his left hand on my forehead like he was checking me if I had a fever and I immediately step back because of the intensity of his touch.
"What are you doing?" I asked curiously and he smiled teasingly.
"I'm just checking you if you are sick or have a fever, because that's new. You didn't shoo me away," he answered and he already put again his muscular arms over his chest.
"Tss, can you be just grateful because I put an effort just to invite you? And to thank you too that you just went here just to give this," I said and pointed to the paper bag I was holding.
"Okay, but sorry because I can't accept your offer right now, I have a ton to do," he reasoned out.
"And that is?" I asked, trying to hide my curiosity.
"Someone is curious, you like me already? Huh?" He said as he stretched down his neck and near his face on mine because yeah is tall okay?
"You assuming jerk, I just asked then I'll like you already? Uh very assuming." I said too with a teasing voice and he just smiled.
"Can let's be just honest here, can we?" He said then he pinches my cheeks while saying, "my cute piggy, don't worry I'll just do my unfinished home work okay?" He said and while he was still pinching my cheeks softly.
I really like the warmth of his hands, it gives comfort but, wait what did I just said?
