Alyssa
I lock the door of the room I slept earlier. Feeling down, remembered what Kristoff's mother said, and did.
I just slept for more minutes, when someone just woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw Kristhen, smiling while sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Hi Ali." She greeted "And, ahm... Good evening."
"Hello. Good evening too." I said with a smile.
"My brother said, you already met our mother." She said, I just nod slowly. "So? How was it?" she said again, with sparkling eyes.
I pursed my lips, before telling her the whole story. Kristhen's smiling face slowly disappeared. Then she hold her chin, and looked up, with eyebrows met. Thinking.
"Hmm, I think—" she was going to say something but she stop midway, so my forehead creased. I looked at her but her facial expression is still, confused. "Well, whatever is going on my my mother's head, it's hers so whatever. So Alyssa?, let's go and buy some dress for my birthday? I know someone here that has a Botique. Actually she's my bestfriend." She said while smiling at me.
"A-are you sure?"
"Yes! Sure, I'm sure! Let's go!" She said and pulled me.
I just let her pull me, and just followed her. Outside the house we met Kristoff and his mother, both of them we're confuse. "Hi mom! Bye mom!" Kristhen shouted. I saw Kristoff looking at me confusingly, but I don't have time to explain.
"Wait! Kristhen!" Kristhen stopped, so I stopped too.
"What is it mom?"
"Take Angeline with you." Her mother said.
Kristhen looked at me, and I smiled at her saying it's okay. "Where's she?" Kristhen asked.
"On her way here, you should go call her." Kristoff said, with a serioud face, looking at me. I averted my gaze at him, and looked at Kristhen.
"'kay, I'll call her." Kristhen said, fishing out her phone, dialing Angeline' s number, still not letting my hand go.
"ahh, Kristhen?" I called her, she looked at me. "I should totally tell my brother, that I'm going with you. May I take my leave?" I asked.
"Yeah, Go on ahead." Kristhen said, then talked to the phone.
I bowed my head a little, and walked pass Kristoff, who was about to talk to me. I know it's rude to turn your back while someone is talking to you. But I... Whatever.
I enter the house—or mansion, and head towards the Guess Room—right beside the room I slept —which is Kristhen's room. I opened the door and saw my brother, he was laying down on the bed, cross arms, eyes shut, legs crossed, and his head was resting on the head board, he was using his ear pods. Listening to music, I guess.
I walked closer to his bed, and tapped his knees. Which he opened his eyes, and took his ear pods off. "What is it?" He asked.
"What are you doin'?" I asked.
"Listening to Filipino music. Why?"
"Oh." I said. "Just wanna say, I'm going with Kristhen pick up dresses. Is it okay if I go?" I said, and smiled. His Forehead creased. Then I began my puppy eye's. He blew a hard breath, before nodding. I jump in joy, and huged him. "Thank you! We'll be off now!" I said as I walked to the door.
"Be Careful!" He shouted.
"We will!" I said as I close the door, and walked, out of the house.
I saw Kristhen still standing where she was before, while crossing her arms. Then a car came, stopped right at the back of Kristhen's car. A lady with flawless white skin, wearing a black T-strap heels, red ginger dress. Her hair was in a ponytail, and I can see her lips, it's perfectly red. God! She's so beautiful! And so perfect, that's why she's the best match for Kristoff.
She said Hi to Kristhen, and kissed Kristhen's cheeks, and Kristhen did the same. Then she faced Kristoff and Mrs. Smith. She huged Kristoff, and his mother. Then she kissed Mrs. Smith's cheeks. I watched them as I slowly walked their way.
"Oh? Alyssa! There you are!" Kristhen said as she sees me. Then Kristoff and the res looked my way. I smiled at them politely, and walked closer to Kristhen. Then Angeline came closer to me, and kissed my right cheek.
"Hello, Alyssa! Nice seeing you again." She kissed my other cheek. "So it's really true that you're here. Kristoff told me." She said and smiled, I smiled at her too.
"Nice to see you, again, too, Angeline." I said and smiled at her too. She's so nice. And beautiful.
"Ma! Kuya! Alis na kami!" Kristhen said. Although I don't understand her. I think she spoked in filipino style?
"Sige, ingat kayo!" Mrs. Smith replied.
"Let's go na." Angeline said and opened the car door, and hoped in. I aswell hoped in. I sat beside Angeline. While Kristhen do the driving.
Kristhen put the key to the keyhole and the engine roared. Then in a minute after we're on our way.
"Tell me, Alyssa." Angeline started.
"Just 'Ali' please." I said.
"Right." She said and turned my way. "What do you think of, Kristopher?" She said, my forehead creased, then I looked at Kristhen, who's still focusing on driving but glances at us a few times. "Well, the two of you are dating, so I think... Just maybe... Some things are happening?" she added. I looked at her.
"What about you, 'ate' Angie?" Kristhen said looking at the mirror. Making us look at her. "How do 'you' feel about, Kristoff?" She asked, I turned my gaze on Angeline.
"You already know, Kristhen. Kristoff is my best friend. Well I have a crush on him, when we were High school, but that won't change the fact that I love Kristian." Angeline said, bowing her head a little. She's embarrassed? But wait... She's in love with Kristian. Kristoff did told me that, Angeline is Kristian's Ex-Fiancee. I don't know why, but my heart felt like a heavy burden was lifted.
"Yeah, I already heard that, a million times. You always tell me, that you love only Kristian."Kristhen said. Making Angeline blush." Well, talk about the latter, I think he's still in love with you, though. " Kristhen added, making Angeline blush some more, I can almost see her as a tomato, because of her redness. I chuckled, then Kristhen chuckled too.
"Stop making fun of me, Ali hasn't answered my question yet!" Angeline exclaimed, but me and Kristhen is still chuckling, more like laughing actually.
"But seriously, What do you really think of my Brother?" Kristhen asked.
"Well, Kristoff is really nice. He's caring, Handsome, Gentleman, kind, and of course he's always serious."
"Oh, Darling we didn't mean about, how he treats you, Kristoff is really like that." Angeline said. "What we meant is, What do you think of him as a man?" She added.
"I'm not really sure, I have mixed emotions about him, which I don't understand. Sometimes I just want to be with him, like... Forever. And sometimes I kinda dreamt... I was... Angeline?" I said, and smiled shyly. Angeline's eyes popped out, with an O shaped mouth. While Kristhen have the same reaction, but still driving.
"Good god!" Angeline exclaimed.
I was confused, why she shouted all of a sudden, she was so happy. And I don't know why! Also Kristhen too, she was smiling while driving.
"Darling, it's much better if you find it out yourself. So I'm not saying anything." Angeline said, so I pouted. "Cute!"
I looked at Kristhen, but she gave me Neither-do-i-i-won't-say-anything-look. I made my mouth like a bobble. While the two of them were chuckling at my reaction.
"I thought you and me, Kristhen are together with teasing Angeline but in the end the two of you, looks like your teasing me." She just laugh at me!
"We're here!" she shouted.
"Bummer! I was planning on teasing you, Kristhen!" Angeline said. But the latter laughed.
"That means no teasing me, today!" then she laugh.
"Yeah, but there's still later, and tommorow, and the day after that—there's still lots of time to tease you, darling."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." She said and opened the door and out she goes. I also opened mine, and out I go.
I saw a white double decked House, it's color was white with black. It was big–no huge, it was huge. Just like the color of the house, the gate was black and white too. There's also written in a plaque beside the gate. It was written 'AUSTIN RESIDECE 819'
Kristhen rang the door bell, and then a Man in his Thirties, was shocked to see Kristhen. So he hurriedly opened the gate and huged Kristhen, Kristhen huged him back too.
"Nice seeing you again, Luke..." Kristhen said, while letting go of the hug. "...Or rather Long time no see?" she said and chuckle.
"That time—they said you left— Stephen—" She cut him off. C
"Yeah..."
Luke–the man who opened the gate– took a heavy breath, before saying "Okay... I know... I'm just worried of him." Kristhen came closer to him and hug him, while tapping his back.
"I know, You are his Best friend after all." Kristhen said. Then I saw the man smile.
"So? Who's this beautiful ladies?" He asked turning to us.
Kristhen smiled, and whisper something on the man's ear. The man's mouth made an O shaped.
" 'kay." He only said. "Nice to meet you, ladies. The name's Luke, by the way. A friend of Kristhen, and Maesie' s Husband." He said, and took a bow, just like a Prince would do.
"Hi! I'm Angeline Cuevas, But you can call me Angie, co'z only Kristian should call me 'Gel'" she said and laugh. But she shook Luke's hand, and smile.
"Nice to meet you, future Mrs. Kristian Smith." Luke said, making Angeline blush. Then Luke turned to me.
"M-My name's Alyssa Reighn Montreal,just call me anything y-you like. I-it's to meet you." I said shyly. I can never get used to it. I smiled at him, and his eyes were full of wonder.
"What is Kristoff, to you? Hmm?" He asked. My heart beat became fast, and my breathing Hitched.
"W-we were just dating, th-that's all." I said and added "Hehe..."
"Why don't we have some chika inside. Maesie is waiting, ya' know." Luke said, and let us in.
"Nag wait lang naman kasi kami kung kelan mo kami pa-papasokin 'no!" Kristhen said, and the only word I understand was' wait'. I should really ask Kristoff to teach me how to speak or understand Filipinos.
When we enter the house, a woman carrying a little boy, same age as Stephanie and Klyde, I think.
"Bess!!" The Woman exclaimed, and slowly put down the little boy, and the woman ran towards Kristhen, and hug Kristhen tight. Kristhen on the other hand, hug her tight too.
"King ina kang gaga! Ba't ngayon ka lang?! Bwesit ka!" The woman said, with teary eyes, well she's now crying on Kristhen's shoulder.
"Sorry naman, medyo busy lang e. Saka 'andito pa naman ako at buhay pa, jusko kang gaga! Wag ka ngang umiyak napaiyak rin tuloy ako!" Kristhen said, and now crying.
After the cries and shouts both of them did. They stopped crying.
"Alys—Ali?" Angeline said so I looked at her, and she smiled at me, before saying "Come with me, please. Let's leave them be." I nodded my head and followed her.
We went to the living room, and sat patiently. To pass the time, Angeline told me the story how she and Kristian meet and broke up. She's now crying, fanning herself with her hand, while wiping her tears away.
"... I messed up in life didn't I?" she said as she cry again. I carassed her back, and said some comforting words, a few minutes later she stopped crying, and huged me. "Thank you." she said, I smiled.
Then Kristhen came with 'bess'. I still don't know her name though.
"Ali, and Angeline. Meet Maesie, she's my best friend and she designs our gowns for my Birthday." Kristhen introduced her. "Bess, this is Alyssa, kuya Kristoff's kasintahan or kabiyak ng buhay nya." Kristhen said, and chuckle at the end. Maesie looked at me, from my head to toe.
"She's rather ravishing." she complemented, I blush No one—except my brother and the Smith siblings—complimented me, like that, ever. "Magaling pumili si Kuya Kristoff, Although, I think May pagka inosente pa siya, we'll work on that." Maesie said, but I didn't understand what she said.
"Bess, Hayaan mo si kuya na bahala sa ka inosentehan ni ate Ali." Kristhen said.
Then Angeline joined them. "Well magaling siguro 'yang si Kristoff sa kama, like your brother Kristian." She said that with eye brows flashing!
I don't know why but I think their making fun of me! I pouted with that thought on my mind...
