Leah
Heeeelllllooooo Winston~!
☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆
Here I come! Daddy's gonna run to you and kiss you. Mwah mwah!(つ≧▽≦)つ
This one will be my new beginning! I haven't planned anything out but this is it~ moment of truth.
I bit farewell to the couple and my 'little friend' after they helped me place my luggage on the baggage trolley.
"No! I ga with bawtha!" Awe~ can you believe how cute he looked at me?! But sadly, we had to part ways after I promised to play with him the next time we cross path.
"banana! Banana Bawtha!" He waved so much that he was slipping out of his father's hold, almost on the verge to cry.
"Bye baby~!" He was so cubby and adorable!
I see the parents smile to themselves and then to me, waving along with their dear baby.
They are a perfect match.
Right out of a romance novel.
(っ˘ω˘ς )
After me and the small family went our separate ways with out loads carried on the rolling bag and blocked the intense sunlight with my hands, I began searching for the cab to take me to the location on the gps.
The domintory was a bit further from the school, but not that far. I just had to go there and book myself a room which I will be sharing it with a roommate. I know for some people this is norm routine, however I've never been away from home for sooo long that I forgot what it's like to live on your own.
Thus, I feel like growing anew. \(^ヮ^)/
The city was nothing different from what I imagined it to be like. Lots of stores, parks, markets, malls, pedestrians and then finally my prestigious private school came into my view.
It was covering almost large amount of lands just for the school. Amazing decore, tight security and nice aroma. Nice fountain by the way. Cupid statue.
"Hehe~" (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b
Funny posture, the arrow was direcly pointing at the entrance of the gate, pointing at every people who will enter through it. Does this cupid think 'I am gonna make you fall in love' I imagined the cupid say in a playful manner and flirt.
As much as I already love this place, I hope nothing is wrong with it. They say, more the place is to its perfection, uglier the truth is hides.
It seems too good to be true.
"Nah," I scoffed, brushing the thought out, "as if this is some sort of monitoring center." ╮(︶︿︶)╭
I had already paid the driver and I took my bags with me to the domintory to help book myself a room to the middle aged woman on the counter, not before showing my student ID that I am a student to the guards and have it sanned in the machine. Then I had to get to my bags checked thoroughly.
This place was even more strict than the guards at the airport. They were contemplating whether to let me in since it was a week or two earlier for students to begin the school.
"Excuse me, miss?" She didn't look at me, but nodded indicating she was listening even without giving me an attention. She couldn't take his hands and eyes of the computer where she went on inputing some data in it.
"I need to get a room for me?" I asked.
"Name?"
"Leah.... Cameron." I wish I didn't had to say it.
She did halted for a sec with a jolt that I couldn't miss. She didn't even check out my info, and immediately stood to lead my way to the other way from where the other students were going.
"Mr.Cameron, you are a day earlier than expected. Should I get cleaners to clear room for you?"
"Uh!" I shook my head vigorously-- she just talked with me using a formal tone and I aren't even older than her. What happened to the old(damnless lady) her?
"Your room is already booked, Mr. Leah. This way." Did my brother do this again?
How many times did I tell him not to do it? Later I am going to scold him, though it did save the trouble from searching for the room.
This school accepts all scholarship students and the wealthy students, the place where my other wanted me to be but I guess nothing is really changed as I was given more attention already after entering the school. I sighed in defeat.
Hurray, mission; make enemies the moment you enter the school compound.
Status; completed.
I facepalmed annoyed with all those stares I was received when I was treated like some kind of Big Shot-- which I'm not. Why make a big deal out of it? (￣ ￣|||)
Do I release some kind of pheromone or something? Why does it attrack so many unwanted attentions??
I had already entered into the elevator, quite big I must say and there was also a camera to the farther corner of it. I waved it thinking a security guard must be watching me.
She stood still beside me, thought, weird kid. (￣.￣;)
I immediately stopped what I was doing, pretending nothing happened. And I will be ever more grateful if she forget that too-- which she did by avoiding eye contact.
Oh well, all's good that ends good.
┐(￣∀￣)┌
We stepped out and it was already another floor of the domintory, two floors up the residents of the other students. My brother took this too far.
( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : )
"Uh.. miss? Can't I just reside with the others? You know," I pointed my forefinger down indicating that I didn't mind the down floor, "this is too much for me. I can talk with him about it."
She kept walking like a professional and replied like she didn't expect me to say this instead of being happy about this.
"I can't do that , he made it clear that I'll be fired if you don't stay here, I'm bound by obligations so please understand." I groaned internally if Luca threatened the school president to give me special treatment.
"Now, shall we?" She kept leading the way.
I wanna cry. (ಥ﹏ಥ) Damn it.
My days to make friends is getting over!
Just then, we reached the door of the room and I was handed the black card to access to the room.
"Wait!" I stopped her before she walked back, "roommate?" I don't want to stay here all alone! What if this room is haunted!
She just bowed her head and said giving me a oblong smile, "rest assured." Oh does he want to stay alone. That's understandable.
Did she misinterpret me? (・_・ヾ
Click click click, her high heels clicking on the marbled floor, and her silhouette disappeared with the left turn and ding! Into the elevator.
Do I? Or do I not? At least tell me and go!
Only time can tell. Hummm. Oh well, I mustn't fret. This is normal.
Yes. Absolutely..... not!
This was only trailer of full picture.
The moment I stepped in, I ended up dropping my back on the entrance, jaw dropped the moment I switched the light on.
"What in the world!" I can't believe my eyes. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me yet it was not my hallucination.
"Oh my goodness!" I blushed, finding the room turned into honeymoon set: rose petals leading my way to the bedroom, baby pink lambs were lit, wishing me 'Let's fuck-' (⊙_⊙)
I bit my scream down at my arm. AGAHHHHHHH! The-ther-there is a co co condo-!! On the desk!!!!! Did they do it!!!
Jesus! Why is the bed so rosy! Why is the room more like a penthouse than the room! Why is there only one bed! Where do I stay in this huge room!? Why is there a kitten toy in ribbon tied?! Awwww. But! Where is there a pink lighting! Why is the room looks like someone's already been living here?! Why in the name of the god am I doing here in the first place?!! Why do I have to die! Did I hit my head? Am I dreaming? Did the lady showed me the wrong room?
Yeah that must be it, or maybe it isn't cleaned. So it is mess like this. But it looked newly decorated.
I came back to my sense and dropped my bags in the bedroom. I aimlessly loitered around room, and I think no one hasn't stepped into the house for few days at the max. So.... does that mean the people who lived here just here to stay here for a while? Oh well.
I am sure I will be living along on my own, and thus, I have to ensure its cleanliness.
I found the store room located attached to the kitchen side. I pulled the door open, and scanned through the rooms.
School shouldn't be starting for two weeks from now on. Then I guess I have lot of time.
Time to clean up!
Nah nah nah.... from my previous cursing, I remember a song 'die young'. Funny, I aren't even sure why it hit my head. I will just sing it and enjoy my youthful death.
Good thing I brought my working clothes with me, a short pant above the knee, a plan blue shirt quote 'welcome sweetheart' and I don't know why Luca have such fetish about dolling me up.
He should have just put more effort to find his 'sweetheart' rather than showering all his attention on me.
He would clapse his hand together, grinning, making a girly imitation, "my darling! I am soo happy you welcome me back home and even surprise me with such tender treatment".
凸('△´＃)
What and which part of me is tender! This is my usual! Is me kicking him to the ground tender?! Is me pulling and twisting his leg with him lying on his stomach at the floor tender!
This can mean only one thing: he's a masochist. He loves to be inflicted by pain which must be giving him pleasure.
Now it makes sense why he is marrying a guy now.
Don't tell me-- he's into secretly into bdsm?? (o_O) !
'Ahaha, I must be crazy. He's anything but not a pervert, is he?'
"Achoo! Achoo!" Luca sneezed twice. Is someone missing me? It must be definitely my baby brother Leah!
Leah! Don't you miss me! I'll come get you in less two month!
I ignored the chill I felt down my spine to take out the rose petals from the bed and changed the sheets from the closet.
Why were there already suits and clothes. They are really fashionable, jeans, jackets, jockey uh? Who stayed here? I will let it be for now.
Maybe I do have a roommate? And they already settled in before me. Maybe a senior?
I need to make a great first impression on him if we are going to spend the rest of the day together.
There were other spacious closet, so opened it and hung the clothes neatly arranged, I didn't have much to really show in. It's just causal, since I don't need anything fancy when I am in the school nor do I have anyone to impress. A single life is the best.
I am almost done with the living room, including the light bulb's pinkish color with the regular white bulb which was lying there in the store room in the cartoon box.
Bed room..... I pushed the packetd of condo- in the bin. It looks unused. But nope! No one's using this. I am not really interested in that life. Am I asexual?
Don't know. Kitchen, good thing this place was the only thing normal here.
Huff. My cracked my shoulders and my hands creating a popping sound. I was exhausted...
I changed my clothes to a regular pajamas right after I took a warm bath and lazily dragged my feets to the living room.
I prepared popcorns.. yum. It was stored in lower drawer of the kitchen counter. Few of the snack I had brought from my home. I may know how to cook, but I don't do it all the time cause I am dead tired.
The screen was huge, I must say everything looks so comfy.
Everything seems to be set to my liking, somehow.
It made a thud my butt hits the couch and brought the cushion on my lab.
I checked out what to watch randomly surffing through online. Oh, a whatever the movies it was named it looked scary. Nah. An action movie sound better. o(≧▽≦)o
I'm so glad I took early flight!
Haze Stevens
"Yes, terminate the contract..... no. That's not up to you to decide.... get them to take back the case..... if not, you know what to do...." I kept the phone down and layed back exhausted.
I pushed my raven black hairs back from my eyes. Scanning through few of those leftover documents, I will finally be done and go home take a nap.
"Ah. It's past 10." I took a glimpse of my watch, and tomorrow he is suppose to come. I grinned at the thought of him meeting me. My heart even skipped a bit imaging him meeting me for the second time.
It did boost my stamina, so I loosen my tie and got back almost done.
Again, my private phone rang continously, though I ignored it fully knowing who would call me on a time like this.
I received the call.
"Brother!" She shouted. Good thing I kept the phone on my desk while I kept my hands busy scribbling and altered the info and then inputting it into my laptop.
"... now what is it?" I asked, uninterested about what she was going to babble this time.
"So.." she coughed, "did you go back to your house?"
"....." why did she ask?
"...." the silent prevailed through our conversation.
Until I spoke, "yeah. I did." I lied. She doesn't need to know my routines.
"You are lying," she caught me.
"So?" I was losing my patience.
"You have been stuck in your office for three days! Eating, bathing, sleeping. You want to become a workaholic! No wait, yoy already are one. Anyways, you need to go." She pushed.
I slammed my laptop shut and leaned my chin on the palm of my face with my elbow supported by the arm of my chair.
"Why are you so persistent?" I had to enquire when she's being so suspicious.
"..." I was taken aback when she cut my call. Minutes later, she sents me a text message with a pic.
She sents me a flying kiss emoji.?
"Enjoy your fuck with your beloved." She said.
Did she finally lose it? I scrolled down to take a better look at the room.
It was mine.... but not mine.
I texted her. "Did you create a duplicate of my house."
"Nope. It's your original house. I know your password. So I made sure your beloved will love this." She said, "oh right, I kept the protection on the bedroom desk in your bedroom." I will need to change change the lock itself.
"Want me to take away the mastercard?" I said and she left the chat.
I exited the room in a hurry, so I carried my coat in my hands and drove back.
I was mad, but it didn't show on my face. What would he think of me if he sees that! I will lose my face!
The guard greeted me and opened the gate for me. He was nervous. I guess the angry glare is finally showing up.
In an instance, I was already in front of the door, holding out my card to access my room.
The room was dark like always, but something was strange. There was a pair of shoes, which is not mine.
The more I walked in, louder the sound was getting.
I sticked close to the wall, maybe it can be one of my enemies. Cautiously, I hovered out my handgun from the flower vase.
"No," I heard, "we must wait! There is danger! We can't leave!" For a sec I thought it was the people, but it was the audio of my TV. It was turned on at its high volume, and a person was chomping onto something.
I jumped the person as I yanked them by their shoulder and got top of them pointed the tip of the gun at his head.
"Who-" I was lost for words the moment I took a better look on him.
In front of me was the most adorable creature, startled, rapidly staring back at me with his beautiful emerald eyes.
I am seeing my angel! Dang it.
Leah
I was suddenly pulled back to the ground and someone grabbed my shoulder as I felt a metal hit the forehead. I can't say I was not scared the hell out of me. I was about to reach to the climax of the movie!
"Who-" he stopped midway and I couldn't see his face clearly in the dark but I am so much sure that he was holding a hostile weapon aimed at me. I was startled a bit, and also scared when a small fragment of memory flashed before my eyes. I bit my tongue to stay strong.
Then.
"Arghhhh!!! You burglar! Thief! Jerk! " I bashed the guy with my hands and tried to push him off me thrashing my legs in the air.
He surprisingly didn't go rough on, he just tried to defend or dodge my relentless attacks.
"H--hey! Calm down! Leah Leah! It's me!" He held my wrist of my hands to the side of my head, not too tight to afflict me with bruises. How did he know my name? I was even more freaked out and I got away to turn the lights on.
Beholding my very eyes was a attractive manly guy, taller than me and his beards were growing along the jawless, but sexy. He got those looks of rare model or even a celebrity. Too bad he is relying on robbery.
"How do you know me?" I moved away, closer to the door ready to fled the room if he does anything bad.
He puts up his hand and I couldn't see what he had in his hand just a second ago, "easy. I am Haze! You might not know-"
"Oh Haze Haze yes yes yes." I nodded and let my guard down. So it must be him. ( ´ ▽ ' )
I moved closer sliding in and shook his hands with both my hands excited to meet him although he didn't extend the hands to shake it, I just took it in mine, "pleasure to meet you, Mr. Haze Stevens. But.. what were you holding before?"
"Its... nothing. So? They told you?" He asked, putting something out of the sight. So slump on the sofa and me on the couch like how I was earlier.
"Nah. I figured out much out by myself." I casually said until I was fully aware of what I had said, "oh sorry, I have quite a loose mouth of speaking."
He hadn't been saying anything to me, but stay fiddling with the fingers.
"I don't mind it.... but I thought you were supposed to come tomorrow?" He asked, straight forward.
"I thought I might try getting.... you know... use to the way new environment around me." I said as I shrugged my shoulder. ┐( ˘ ､ ˘ )┌
Oh right before I forget, I must ask him this.
"Uh, if you don't mind can you tell me why you are here? And why the room was so..... you know..
... for weds??" He sighed with an eerie laugher.
"Firstly, I am gonna stay here with you." Oh my roommate? "I will be teaching here, for the time being," he interjected. Then my professor, I guess.
"Secondly, it's a long story." He said, "in simple words, my sister messed my place into what you saw when you came. I swear on god, I am not what you think!" He said, strangely emphasised more on that part.
"Okay.....you're not a creep... makes sense though it makes no sense." I nervously rubbing the thighs and stood, "that means we get to be together for the time being now, and.... I will clean the mess made." I said, starting the take out the packet wrappers from the glass table, trying not to look directly into his eyes, so he left the room to the bedroom.
"I will just go take a bath, so you can go to sleep on the bed." He said, "I will join you soon, I won't do anything, so rest assured."
after saying that he left. Can I really believe him? I wonder. If he has any ill intension, then... I will.. snap out of it! It's over! I convinced myself. This is just me overthinking!
So, I segregated the waste properly into the bin.
Huff.. I was finally done, again. I was running out of energy, my eye lids were closing in, and I just flopped on the middle of the huge bed on my back without even caring to pull the fluffy blacket down. I hope I can trust brother with a stranger staying with me. I curled into a ball, still insecure whether I can trust him. If my brother does trust him, that means nothing will go south, right?
But..... he..... I was thinking all the way and then I just dozed off.
