DECAI'S POV
I just woke up from sleep because of the crashes I heard everywhere. Haist! Maybe Miss Cat is trading again.
Instead of getting up, I wrapped the comporter around my body and covered myself. It was late at night because EM and I finished because we were still roaming so the ending was late. We are really like that when they escape, only once because they can escape I am always free.
"Meow! Meow!" Said Miss Cat. The morning of this cat to make noise. I tire tires inside my comporter because the noises still disappear.
"Ssshhh." Saway ko. But no effect seems to be getting stronger e. Is this cat kidding?
"One, I will make you Siopao." I threatened that everyone was still gone.
"What is that Miss -------
I sat up in my bed in great annoyance. I'm really like that, I still don't want to be bothered to sleep. But I could not believe what I saw.
Yes, me.
-_- - him
"What are you doing here?" I asked incredulously. He was standing on the side of my bed and was wearing a surgical mask and he was probably planning to complete the PPE because he was so wrapped up while holding a large trash bag.
"Isn't it Ovious?" He said as if my question was the most useless question he had ever heard.
I looked around the Appartment and was amazed. Why does it seem to clear up here and then I guess? Did he clean up ?!
"Did you clean up ?!" I can't believe the question.
"Oh no, I'm scattered." His philosophy. and I just rolled my eyes.
"When did you arrive?" I asked and then got off the bed and went straight to the bathroom. The Appartment is small so no matter where you are you can still hear each other.
"Last night." His answer is simple.
"Last night? Why don't I know? Then how did you get in? Are you really a doctor or maybe you are hiding something."
"Maybe you're asleep. Then why is the door not locked?" He said in a reluctant voice. Not locked? Did I forget?
"Tss, why didn't you say you were going home?" I asked then went out of the bathroom after I washed.
"For what? Then I won't be long." He said as he grabbed a mountain of clutter. I went to the kitchen to eat if there was anything to eat. I saw that something was covered on the table and when I opened it. Nice! She is cooking.
"What are you going to do here?" I asked.
I sat down and started eating the food while one leg was up and sitting on the chair.
"Right now? Clean up." He said. He only came home once in the Philippines. Once a year or sometimes not even e. He is a doctor at one of the largest hospitals in Seattle.
"When was the last time you cleaned up?" He asked after he grabbed her.
"Me? I don't remember." I said while the mouth was full of food. I know I don't have a heart if I clean him up, he just came from another country but I didn't order him, right?
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" He said shaking his head.
"Hurry up there and you can continue this. I'm going to sleep. I can't believe cleaning will be the first thing I do when I get home." He said and lowered the broom and dust pan then approached my bed and changed the lining before lying down.
"Thank you." I said softly but full of sarcasm.
"Tss." He said and in a few seconds he was snoring. Because he is tired e. But in fairness huh? This apartment is nice to clean. I used to be dirty e. I am aware that I need to clean but nothing if you are really lazy.
After I ate I finished cleaning as he said. I didn't count how many trash bags I threw away but I'm sure there were many. After cleaning, I took a shower to go to my part time job. I only work at the Bar every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But I'm not a prostitute. Barista ako don.
I just left a note before leaving. Erix knows my part time but he might have forgotten.
I woke up at ten o'clock so I left the apartment at twelve o'clock. The speed of time really. When I arrived at Helloven, the other staff was just preparing for the opening. Helloven should be open first until five o'clock in the morning.
"Fix that oh." The manager taught Kerby, he is also a part timer as a waiter. I have been here for a long time but not yet a year. And Kerby is just my companion so we also became close and sometimes EM and I also play basketball together.
"Yes." He politely said then followed. Kerby also has a look so the two Darna e are also mad at her e.
"You Decai? Will you just stand there?" Turns out the Manager told me.
"I said yes." I said then went to the bar counter to fix the glasses and wine after I changed my uniform. The staff here has a locker where our uniform is. If you are not asking I am one of the great barista in Helloven. I also know a lot of tricks and I also know a lot about wine. Aside from being a Doctor, Papa Ed - Erix's Dad - is also a good barista and he taught me in case Erix took them with us early.
When Helloven opened, customers came here one after another. Most are in their 20's and 30's. Because underage is not allowed here so there is a guard e. It's hard for us to be banned, but I lost my job.
In a few hours, the whole Helloven was almost filled with various noises. From the talking people and loud music. I'm also used to noise so I can just keep up with the music while giving wine to that order of course.
"Two Vodca and an Apple juice." Kerby said with a smile as he approached the counter where I was carrying his tray.
"A lot of people right now? It's tiring to go home again." He said and put his hand on the bar.
" You said it." I agree. When I gave him the order, he immediately took it and left. In this case, many people are not allowed to rest if you do not want to reduce your salary.
While I was wiping the Bar, Jina, Helloven's staff, approached me.
"Decai, you need to be in Room 7." He said that my forehead was wrinkled. I am not a prostitute.
"Why?" I asked in surprise.
"Oh, Jina I'm not a prostitute ah. And there are Trix oh." I teach women that the job is to entertain the costumer.
"Sleep! That's not it." He said and cut me off. This woman really hurts.
" So what?" I will ask.
"The manager said you should show off your elegance. They look like friends and friends." He said. Show elegance? AKO ?! Tss, I will not back down from that. I trust Dad to teach me. I rarely show elegance unless there are VIPs like today.
"Why there? Then who will guard here?" I said.
"It's just me," said the Manager.
"Are you sure?"
"All right, reduce your salary if you stay longer." He threatened so I went out of the counter and went to Room 7.
There are only 10 VIP rooms here and each room has a transparent barrier from the other room but it is sound proof.
As I entered Room 7, I saw the Manager and his friends and acquaintances who were both in their 40's.
"He's what I'm telling you, he's one of the best barista I have ever seen." Introduce me to Manager. Wow! For the first time I was praised ah.
"Really? Try it?" Challenge of an adult. Tss, don't try me.
While they were sitting. U shape because the couch here and a center table that is quite long. I was right in the middle, at the center table and arranging the glasses that were still pyramid. I shot a lot of shot glass into the pyramid and when I finished that I poured wine on the top and like water falls you flowed into other glasses.
Then I moved forward and then One dropped a small glass into large glasses that serve as the base of the pyramid glass. Their eyes were amazed and One by one they took the glasses with wine. But you still have the small shot glass.
It looks like they haven't finished yet so someone even requested that I blend them. So am I. Just go! I blended different wines and even rolled them around in the air. They did nothing but follow my quick hand.
My hand rested on what they were doing but it was okay. I did a lot of tricks and eventually they made me sit down and interview me. Where did I learn and what what else.
••••
"Thank you." I told Kerby that I was even taken on his motorbike.
"Nothing. All right, I'm leaving." He said then started the motor and left. When I entered my apartment, Erix came out to me wearing an apron and cooking.
" What is that?" I asked and smelled the air. You know right? I can smell it.
"We're going somewhere tomorrow so don't come in first." He said then served food and I sat down after I threw away the bag I was carrying.
"Where?" I asked and began to swallow. He also sat in front of me.
"In RIBU." He said at the same time eating food.
" Royalite International Boarding University. What is that?" Kunot nuo kong tanong.
"School." His answer is simple. What the --- what do we do don ?!
"Why are we going don?" I asked and he looked me straight in the eye.
"Ah, I know! Will you study again?" I said as if my brain was tied.
"Not me. YOU." He even emphasized the word 'you'. My eyes widened at what he said. Why should I study ?!
"You're just kidding, aren't you?" Laughing but I said seriously. He did not speak.
"Tell me it's just a joke." I said and there was no joke. It's not that I don't want to study again but it seems like that. Because I'm not smart so I often get scared in class and then ----- I just don't want to finish!
"I'm not kidding." He also said seriously.
"But you know that I was not trained when it came to school, right? I just wasted my time and energy and I also have a job." Pagre reason out ko.
"You do not have to be smart to study, you do not waste time and energy because you will learn something and then it is only your part time job. You need to study again for your future and be your child and wife." He has a long litany. He has a point but I still don't want to.
"I'm twenty years old. I can do it myself and then I can live even if I only finished junior high ah." I said. I lost my appetite.
"I know but it's different when you finish something. Then the Scholarship given to me by RIBU will be wasted if you do not enter." He said.
"Scholarship?"
"Yes, I resigned from Seattle Hospital and RIBU found out about it so they gave me an offer to work at RIBU as a University Doctor and their offer includes a full Scholarship for my son."
"Did you accept?"
"Of course, the Royalite Empire is not just that so it's an honor to me to get an offer from them." He said. He speaks English again. I always told him before that he should not speak English when he talks to me.
"Then you gave me the Scholarship?"
"Why is there someone else? I don't have a child, do I?"
"Does that mean you also don't work?"
"Yup, But it will be 2 months before my resignation letter is approved. I just came back here for a job interview and some matters about the job."
Looks like I can do nothing but study again. I have a Scholarship and then I can be with Erix don at School. Maybe so.
"Do I still have a choice?"
"Actually NO, because you are already enrolled." He said. See? Looks like no choice really. Can I handle it?
"Did you say I'm not smart?"
"Tsk! You're smart, just lazy." He said. And even more insulting.
"We'll be early tomorrow so go to bed after you wash the dishes." He said leaving at once. I sleep on the sofa now because there is a prince sleeping in my bed.
Even though I was lying down I was still thinking about what he said. Will I really come in again? Even before that happened, I was nervous. But there is still excitement. I also want to study but I have given up for a long time because nothing is happening.
I don't know if I'm still asleep or just overthinking.

"Hey, where are you going? Are you dreaming? We don't have a car." I told Erix approaching a white car parked in front of the Appartment. We might even be charged with carnap here.
"Just ride." He said then someone pressed and the door opened non. He rode first and I followed the one with the shotgun seat.
"Is that yours?"
"Yes."
"Wow !. when did you buy it?" I asked and we started working.
"Long story." He said and he calmed down the whole trip. I don't know where we are going so he will take care of it. I did not realize and we just entered a big gate. The gate that looks like a palace.
"Good day sir, Who are they?" The guard asked Erix. The window on his side is slightly lower.
"Erix Lumarez." Erix replied.
"You are the new UD, come in." The guard said and saluted again. Erix just nodded and then the car finally entered. Wow! The size of this school. The main building is a bit far from the gate and there is a big fountain in front of the big building.
We stop. It looks like a parking lot because there are so many cars. And the beauty is too much. Sports car all and different colors. There are motors that are black and very nice.
"What are you doing there?" Erix asked. I was stunned to be amazed at the cars.
As we walked towards where we were going, I saw a few people I thought were students here. They are both wearing the same clothes. Above the knee skirt red blended with maroon and white finished coat, necktie. Just the beauty of their uniform. Does it matter to me if I wear that?
We got to our destination and we entered a door based on my memory it was second floor. Erix and I entered the beautiful, large and fragrant office. Wow! How nice is it?
"Good Afternoon, Dr. Lumarez." An elderly man greeted Erix who was sitting in his swivel chair.
"You too, Mr. Montecci." Erix replied and sat down in the visitors chair. I, on the other hand, also sat down but I was really amazed in the office so my eyes went around every corner.
"Is she your ...?" Mr. Montecci to Erix and looking at me.
"My sister, Edencaina Lumarez." Erix replied.
"Ah, The one who receives the full Scholarship. Am I right?" It says. What is that why English. I understand somehow but speak? No.
"Yes, She is." Erix replied.
They talked a lot but I didn't understand anything. So I just keep quiet. My ass hurt when I sat down but they still weren't done. After 5 years they are also finished.
"I'll be glad to work with you Dr. Lumarez."
"Me too, Mr. Montecci." They said and shook hands.
"You too, Ms. Lumarez hope you'll enjoy your days here in RIBU." Baling me. I just smiled and shook hands as well.
We left the office. According to what I understood in their conversation, my first day starts tomorrow, so I will go home first. Since it is said to be a Boarding School, I can only go out on weekends, unless there is an emergency and everything I need will be sent home for my attendance. I was only in grade 11 at the age of 19.
As we walked down the corridor to the parking lot we saw a group of Students gathering. Most don are female and some are male.
"Oh my gosh!" - Girl
"He's bleeding!" - Girl
"Hey! Help him!" - Girl
"Gosh! Where is your friend?" - Girl
"You son of a bit * ch!" - Boy
"It's not him! Please Jerome!" - Girl
"Then who the fu * k ?!" - Boy.
"Dude, Calm down she's not my type." - Boy
"Shut up!" - Boy
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! First riot right away." I whispered and just shook my head while walking.
"I thought it was a school for the rich?" I asked Erix. But he did not answer and I just found myself following Erix to the commotion.
"Hey, where are you going?" He did not answer.
"What's the problem here?" Erix asked. The Students looked at him. I was just behind him. My face just gets thicker than my acquaintance.
"Who are you?" A woman asked in a steady manner.
"I'll be your new University Doctor soon." Erix replied to the woman.
"Well, He's beating Alcairo because of that whore." He said calmly and pointed to the woman who seemed to be teasing the two men. One man was lying slightly with his lip and cheek bone on the Bermuda grass and the other was standing holding the woman.
"Fine, let's go to the clinic first." Erix said. Erix was about to help the man who was lying down when everything was suddenly quiet. When I look at what they are looking at I see three beautiful women and two men and I look like I hate one.
Yes, me
