I woke up to a loud sound of an alarm and at the same time a cellphone ringing again and again from a distance.
I rubbed my eyes as I got up from the cold bed. Is the air conditioner on? I didn't realize last night.
Even though my head was throbbing, I quickly turned off the alarm clock I saw next to me. It's six in the morning and the cellphone is still ringing.
Is this really a cellphone? Such a sound sounded strange to me, that's why I searched for it.
On the bedside table, I only saw my cellphone and other things. I didn't see anything on the floor so my eyes went to a table where there was a cup.
I approached it and saw a cup with about half of the black coffee left and it was already cold.
Next to it is a black object that glows brightly.
I was stunned. When I opened it I saw the caller ID of the caller that's why my hand was cold when I picked it up.
15 missed calls and 34 texts left unread. and now the person is calling again.
I immediately turned the door and was secretly thankful that it was open from the outside.
I thought because last night Cy locked the door from the outside so I couldn't leave.
Carrying her cellphone, which was still noisy than my mother's before, I went to the almost empty place.
No people, not much stuff yet. I keep thinking, maybe this place is abandoned?
But I saw tin cans of paints on one side, some were clean while others were left opened, that's why my thoughts suddenly doubled.
I turned around at the noise from a space to my right. At a door that was open, that's why I headed towards it slowly.
It's a little surprising because what I can smell from it is fragrant.
I'm really hungry. But I lost my thoughts when I heard his cell phone ring again.
-
After I entered, I walked slowly. I saw the clean and white t-shirt he was wearing while he was still wearing pajamas.
His back is wide, it's not obvious that he also wants a man either to be honest.
He is tall even though the slippers he is wearing are flat. I think his height is about 6 ft or more.
He also looks busy so even though his cell phone is ringing, he still doesn't look in my direction.
Or maybe he doesn't care at all?
the way he doesn't care bothers me so much that's why I tried to make a way for him to notice my purpose.
"C-Cox, s-someone is calling you." I said.
I can't help but be annoyed. To myself and not to him. Because although I feel that I am complacent with what I have to say, when I actually talk to him, I lose my temper. In the end, I stuttered.
When he turned around, he wasn't looking at me. But on a table napkin in my direction, at the top of a tall fridge beside me.
He immediately took it and I immediately smelled his perfume.
His scent filled my surroundings so I couldn't help but sniff it. He smells so good and rich.
Only then did I realize that I was only up to his shoulders and that I was too small for him.
"who?" he asked coldly. As usual.
He obviously doesn't want to talk to me.
I cleared my throat. His cell phone had stopped ringing when I looked at it, but I couldn't forget its caller ID.
"His caller ID is 'babe' so I... I came here to give it to you. You also left it last night in the room." I said calmly.
secretly thankful that I didn't stutter.
He didn't answer anything. Instead, he just continued what he was doing.
When I saw what he was busy with, It was a table, set for two.
There was a plate, a spoon and a fork. The color of everything is very decent including the table cloth because it is white.
there is a glass of wine. there is also a small flower base in the middle. It's like a date.
Wait what? D-Date? a date?! so what am i doing here?!
fuck I shouldn't be here then!
I was confused by what I saw and I didn't want to show it to him.
When his cellphone rang again in my hand, I was immediately startled and almost dropped it.
"C-Cox. I'm going to leave now. I remember I have an early interview with a company in Makati today so I will go now."
After I said that, I immediately put his cellphone on a long table where he was cutting red pepper.
I saw him stop. But he didn't look at me.
I'm still thankful that he didn't look at me.
I immediately made my way back to the room. I almost ran over it so fast because I was in a hurry to get out.
If he has a date then his babe must be really calling him, then I shouldn't be here because I can only be a distraction with the two of them.
Now I get it. 15 or more missed calls and 34 text. He's so sweet to act nothing to his babe but definitely is busy with preparing their home made date.
It's also so early. 6 am for a date? What an adorable plan they have?
They were planning to see each other before they started their day with their work, aren't they?
carrying my gown, heels, cellphone and my bag, I immediately went to the door.
But even my still sleeping spirit was awakened by what I saw.
He was standing there and there was annoyance in his eyes when he looked at me again.
Something that makes my chest tremble.
but even so, I immediately smiled. He was still sweet in my brain now because of what I thought.
"Cox I'm leaving. Thank you again and..."
"just leave and don't show up again. Never again." he said, in that tone he was sounding abominable.
I swallowed. I thought he was okay? I thought his mood was okay now?!
Did I ruin his mood? I didn't do anything else, right?
I couldn't do anything but nod and try to smile.
He opened the door and he held its edge. I passed by him.
He clearly was excited for me to leave.
I chose not to look back and walked down the Hallway.
Only then did I understand that this place is a hotel and was undeniably expensive.
The hallway has a chandelier, gold silver lining carpet and gold decoration around.
I was mesmerized, maybe Cox was just about to leave here? Or live here? Ugh!
"Ma'am are you leaving now?"
asked an old woman in glasses. Based on her uniform, she was a hotel staff.
I was with her in the elevator along with some other people.
I nodded even though I was hesitant to answer.
I didn't expect her to ask me since I don't know her but she did. And I'm a bit surprised.
"Good luck ma'am and good day." she said when the elevator opened.
She went down to the 45th floor.
And I was immediately confused. 45th floor? meaning...
Cox's place was the highest floor of this building?
Oh my God.
maybe that's also the reason why I feel so dizzy!
-
[See you soon babe, please I miss you so much.
I still don't agree with what you said last night.
answer my call if you want closure!
talk to me baby please.]
I see. he still doesn't stop.
Annoying. It's too early to be angry but the weather is really testing me.
Aside from the rain, which is something I hate, Sylvan is mischievous and still won't stop.
There is one more thing, why does she still need to see sylvan's calls?
shit!
And I haven't slept ever since last night.
I was so busy, really busy to search for a good breakfast but ended up nothing.
What a fucking idea did I just thought of?
I couldn't help but swallow several times and almost crushed the cellphone in my hand due to annoyance.
I already hate this day!
When my mind calmed down, I immediately dialed Shawn's cellphone number.
He answered immediately. Even though I don't want to see him, I have to bear it so that the carbonara and menudo I cooked won't go to waste.
"It's too early for bar Sir Clifford. Can you let me sleep first? I got home at 3 am last night." he snorts at me.
"Come here to my condo. I'll text you the address and eat all of this." I said annoyed.
but this stupid stinky person seemed to be revived and immediately infused with new strength after hearing it.
"H-Huh? Did I just hear you wrong, Sir?" he asked.
I immediately hung up and quickly typed the address of my condo. After that I immediately went to the bathroom and cleaned my body.
I still have work today. I need to go to work even though I'm mad at everything today.
shit! I hope I'll never meet you again Scarlett!
