Dillon woke up to the annoying sound of the alarm clock, "Sh*t!" he whispered and forced himself to reach for the clock on his bed side table.
kriiiiiiiiing! kriiiiiing! kriiiiiiin---"
"Too early for god sake !!!" he grumbled while tweaking his own hair. He looked at the clock, it was just 8 AM, "Yeah right, you set this f*cking alarm at exactly 8 AM. Idiot."He got up even though he was still drowsy and headed straight to the bathroom.
It was almost five o'clock in the morning when he fell asleep because of the paper works. He needs to be at the office 9 AM sharp because he has clients to deal with, he's planning to expand the Vargas Group of Malls in Paris, Italy and various parts of the UK. He's not doing this to please his father, but to make his grand parents proud, this is the only reason why until now he has been trying to maintain the prosperity and success of Vargas Airlines and Shipping Industries as well as their other businesses such as Vargas Group Of Malls.
'Same drill. I'm sick of it ' he complained with his mind while feeling the cold water that's coming from the shower. After bathing, he dried and wrapped himself up by the towel and came out. He moved quickly and finished preparing himself in ten minutes.
He's now walking down the stairs while trying to fold the lower part of his polo sleeves. He heard something weird, he's living alone but why is it that he just heard someone whistling. He sniffed a couple of times and he could tell that it someone is cooking.
"Who the f*ck us that?" he whispered to himself.
He returned to his room and grabbed his personal .45 Long colt gun with 6 bullets and slowly returned to the stairs and walked slowly. He's now heading towards the kitchen while aiming the gun in front of him and is ready to shoot anytime.
Then he reached his destination, he saw a tall man wearing black shirt, black cap, faded jeans and leather slippers. He's whistling and dancing while cooking a..... fried rice.
"Raise your hands!" he shouted while pointing the gun to the man. The man then slowly turn his body and face him with the two hands above the head.
He's jaw dropped. He was dumbfounded.
"Adrian?" he's sure that it's Adrian but still he asked.
Adrians' face was very pale, eyes were widely open in shocked.
"H-hey man. Can y-you p-put that gun now? It's just me." Adrian spoke with a shaky voice, still shocked.
Adrian absentmindedly looked at the gun and when he realised that he was still pointing the gun towards Adrian, he slowly put the gun down. He then get back from his reverie and angrily speaks, "Fu*ck you Hapler! How were you able to enter my penthouse? I thought your a thief or something! You should have informed me that you are coming over. Moron!"
"Woah! Relax Dillon. You almost killed me man. By the way, surprise." Adrian teasingly answered then raised it's hands to do a fist bump.
Dillon just raised his middle finger. "I'm not a criminal, you idiot. I would probably shot you but I will make sure not to kill you." he paused "Tell me, who's person that was on a proper state of mind would tresspass someone else's house? When did you arrived? You supposed to be in Scotland, right?" he successively asked.
"Okay. Just slow down, one question at a time buddy, your opponent is weak. You didn't even bother to ask me first how am I doing. Ouch, I'm hurt." he said with a pouted lips .
"Don't act that way Adrian, you look kike a gay for heaven's sake! Gross. I won't really bother to ask how are you doing since you look perfectly fine, just your mind is not doing fine. You're now insane." He calmly said then smirked.
Adrian just looked at him with a bored facial expression.
"Whatever you say!" he paused "Okay to answer your first question, how did I get in?" he held his chin and pretended to think, "better to check your door, and that will answer your first question. Second question, Am I still in the right frame of mind to enter your house? I'm your cousin slash bestfwend, remember? So yes, I have the every right to enter your house buddy. " he paused. "Third question, I just arrived earlier today, around 6am. Try to check your phone, I've sent you multiple messages bud. I called you how many times but I think you are asleep so I just go straight here. I don't like hotels. I'm bored, besides I'm here in the Philippines because I'm looking for someone. You know that our family house is in Cebu, so I'll be your guest for the meantime. Isn't it exciting?" he explained one after another.
He was just stunned while listening to his cousin. "Seriously? So it's really my fault that I didn't answer and read your texts?" he said sarcastically. Adrian would have answered when they suddenly smelled something strange.
The smell led both of their heads to turn and look at the stove. The cooking rag that Adrian used for cooking is burning!
"Oh sh*t! sh*t! sh*t!" Adrian continuously cussing while trying to kill the small fire with a water.
"What the heck Adrian! You're going to burn down my house! I'll kill you, Moron !!!" he shouted as he helped Adrian put out the fire. After a couple of minutes, they successfully extinguished the small fire.
He throw Adrian his dagger look then throw him a weak blow on the arm. "You should be thankful that were able to extinguished the fire 'cause if not? I'm gonna burn you as well. You're really crazy!!!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry! It's your fault tho, you're a nuisance! If you hadn't bothered me, I would have enjoying my breakfast now." Adrian said while shaking his head.
"You even have the guts to blame me? You son of a b*tch!" he said and was about to throw Adrian some punches again when his phone rang.
"Hello?" Rafael is on the other line.
Yes, he has a male secretary. He preferred to have a male one that female, they just bring troubles for falling inlove with him.
"Oh f*ck." he cursed, he just realized that he's now kate for the meeting. "Let them know that I'm not sorry and that they need to wait. If they don't want to, the door is open for them to leave. I'm just having some emergency. I'll be there bottom of the hour." he paused, "okay." he then press the end call button and quickly run back to his room to put his personal gun back to it's place.
He's now just three steps away from the living room floor when he saw Adrian holding a tray of foods and heading towards the sofa.
Adrian felt his dagger look, "Take care of my penthouse, Adrian. You wasted 10 precious minutes of my life. I have to go." he paused and turn his back on Adrian. "Where not yet done! Talk to you later!" he shouted and headed towards the entrance door.
"I WILL KILL YOU ADRIAAAAAAAN!!!! I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I WILL!!!!" he angrily shouted. He's so angry seeing his door wrecked and extremely damaged. "Sh * t! I'm late." Though annoyed, he got into his car and drove quickly to the office.
What she really hates when she's in an urban area, especially Manila, is the heavy traffic. Add to that the stench of air and roads due to car smoke. "Sh*t, it's irritating!!" she said while waiting for the turtle-like vehicles to move forward.
While waiting, her phone suddenly rang "Hello?!!" she unintentionally raised her voice when she answered the phone.
"Why are you shouting?" the woman sounded sad on the other line and speak again,"Aren't you love me anymore?"
Serene and her childish attitude.
She rolled her eyes and smiled before she speaks, "Serene, I love you and you know it. I'm just really irritated because I've been stuck in traffic for almost an hour now" her voice is full of frustration. "By the way, why are you calling?" she asked and slightly moved the car. He was able to breathe because she's now coming closer to the crossing where she would turn right.
"Ahm, nothing. Just because. And by the way I'm with the girls and we're all here in you office balcony." Serene said happily.
"Oh Really? Great! But what y'all doing there?" she asked again.
"Sofie baby, you are already hurting my heart. You know?" Serene sadly said, "Aren't we allowed to visit you, just because? Well, we're here because of your birthday plans as well." she continued.
She's currently just two meters away from the crossing and is ready to turn right. The car in front of her moved forward and she followed, the car headed straight while she turn right.
"Okay! Just wait for me gir-----" she's unable to finish her words. A loud crashing noise and car loud horns cut her off. She was dumbfounded and was unable to move for a minute because of the impact. She's holding her breath while her head is on the cars steering wheels.
"Oh no! My baby!" she worriedly said. She knew that her cars' bumper was damaged.
"I 'll kill you, whoever you are, moron!" she's livid. She then go outside and headed towards the owner of the car who hit hers.
"What the f *cking f *ck? !!!" Dillon cursed. He was looking at the red 20 Ladies Audi A3 car in front of him. Obviously the owner of the car is a woman. "Does she want to end her life?" he annoyingly said. "How lucky I could get? Oh man, I'm late." he said while tweaking his own hair.
Gradually the owner of the car came out, her face seems familiar "Where did I see her?" he whispered to himself.
She's wearing this simple but pretty tank top with a denim jacket, pull on shorts, and a sneakers. Dillon can't see her eyes because she's wearing sun glasses. She looks pretty with her hair bun. He's amazed. He did not even realize that the woman is now in standing outside of her cars' door, facing him.
"Get out! You idiot!" the woman shouted at loudly tapped ger cars'hood.
"Isn't supposed to be me who should be angry?" he asked himself without opening the car.
"I said get out!" the girl shouted again who's now knocking his cars' window with full force.
He slowly opened his car window and turn his head to the girl outside. A few seconds had passed and he's expecting her to shout at him but it seems like a cat got her tongue. She's just staring at him, he knows that she is. He can feel it.
"You know that staring at a person is not good especially if you don't know them personally. Yes?" he asked with a calm voice while meeting the womans' gaze. He doesn't know why he's so calm but it's very unusual for him not to be angry even if it's not his fault.
"I don't care. You bumped into my car! You idiot!" she shouted at him and raised her sun glasses and use it as a headband, she could see the anger in her eyes "If you are in a hurry, so am I. You should have waited for your turn! Idiot." she angrily said.
"Look Mi--" he instantly stoped the moment that the woman speaks again.
"Look your face, dumb * ss! Don't you even know how to drive correctly and follow traffic rules? People like you should not be licensed!" she angrily said.
"Oka---" she cut him off again, weird but he's not annoyed. He even likes it, d*mn. She's cute.
"Don't okay-okay me 'cause obviously, it's not okay." she pointed out. "And don't you dare smile at me that way, I might hit you." she said and crossed her arms in front of her.
"Woah! This is unbelievable." he let himself look shocked. "You okay? You satisfied? Can I speak now?" he asked, the woman just throw him a dagger look as an answer. "Look woman, before you say anything you first think about what you did wrong." he said as he met the woman's sharp gaze as if unaffected by what he was saying.
'Okay, it's not working. I need to show her who's Dillon at this point. ' he said to himself.
"Don't you dare call me an idiot when it's you who's an idiot. If you are no longer happy with that f*cking life of yours and you want to commit suicide, go find a building and jump or hang yourself up. Not that you'll find another person to accompany you to death." he said straightforward.
He knew that he's talking roughly this time. He could see the darkening of the woman's face and the sharpening of the her eyes.
"Hey! Are you crazy? I love myself and I do not intend to commit suicide." he could see her jaw clenched .
"Is that so? Then why aren't you careful?" he asked.
" You even have the guts to tell me that I don't know how to follow the traffic rules? You're great. Is it a new implemented traffic rule to turn right while the red right arrow light in front of you is on? Now tell me, who approved your license so I can get rid of him? right now. " he smirked.
The woman looked stunned but the anger still lingered on her face. 'You're tough huh'
"Though it's not my fault, I'll pay for the damages. Name your price." he said.
"Oh f * ck your self Mr." she cussed at him, "I don't care about your money, I can afford it, I could buy a new one if I want to. It's just that I want to beat you up for hurting my baby! Don't be arrogant. Your money can't buy everything!" she said.
People are already looking at them and there are cars honking their horns. He just realized that they are in the middle of the road, middle of the traffic specifically.
"Okay, now that's below the belt honey. Trust me you don't want to see me f * cking my self. Stop making a scene and stop cussing me. You don't know me. And you don't have any idea on what I'm capable of doing "if he had been calm before, now he's irritated.
"I know it is below the belt and I do not give a sh * t. You can not pay your debt to me ever but if you want to reduce your arrears at least, just pray that our paths won't crossed again" she paused and ready to turn her back and walk away but before that, she spoke again "I want to crash every part of you at this very moment but I won't do that cause I'm not a monster like you."
She turn her back and take a couple of steps then spoke again, "And one more thing, for your information I do know you more than you think. Mr. Dillon Axe Giffer Vargas. Go to hell."
His eyes followed the woman's bulk back to her car. He was just stunned and shocked. How come she knows him?
'Maybe she saw me on the news, newspapers or magazines. But why it feels like personal? Have I done anything wrong to her? What arrears is she saying? '
'I don't know her, all I know is that I saw her twice now. She's that girl.' he knew that woman is the one he saw in front of their Mansion.
A loud car horn stirred his spirit. He quickly started the car and moved on. He still can't forget what the woman said to him. There was emotion in her eyes other than anger that he could not name. He needs to know.
I'm sorry baby, I can't promise that this would be the last time that you will see me. We'll meet again. Soon.'
