11 Worried

Disbelief, that's what written on my face as I look at Seviro Alcinous Castaldi. He's leaning confidently on the shed and just looking at me seriously. What is he doing here? And why the hell I didn't notice him earlier?

I step back when he step closer to me followed by his soft chuckles. The gleam of playfulness is visible in his eyes making fun of my reaction everytime he do something that displease me. What's funny?!

"I thought I'll wait here till dawn, glad you're here already. Are you hungry?" He ask casually as he put his both hands on the pocket of his pants that he usually do

He doesn't care if those students are curiously eyeing us. Really huh? Waiting me here?

"What are you doing here?" I ask in low voice just enoughed for him to heard it

He look around and shrugged his shoulder.

"Because my Cami is here" he said in a matter of fact tone

I crossed my arm and tilted my head to look at him intently. I'm trying to figure out his motive.

My Cami, that's cringe.

"I am not your Cami" I corrected him and he just laughed lowly

"You'll be my Cami soon" he replied and I rolled my eyes

"I don't know you, and as what I said before I'm not and still not interested with you"

His lips pursed into a silly smirk and I wanted to rolled my eyes again because of it.

"I don't care if you're not interested to me, what matter is I'm interested with you. Men do all the work to wooed and pursue a woman, so yeah. Just chill and relax. You'll get interested with me too, just wait for it" he confidently narrated while nodding his head

My mouth gape in disbelief.

"W-What? " I stuttered not believing what I just heard

A low chuckles reaches my ear coming from those students behind me but I didn't able to look back. Is he really making fun on me? I bit the inside of my mouth and my fist is now aching to punch him.

"Stop this shit, will you?" I harshly said gone my respect and manner as a lady

"What the fuck? Do you think this is shit? I am shit?!" He exclaimed with his forehead creased not believing those words came from me

"Yes! You're not just shit. You're also bullshit" I annoyingly retorted

I thought he'll get mad because I cursed him but instead of glaring me or frowning he just smile and laugh again. Just wow! He even shake his head and smirk. That smirk is really annoying. I'm losing my temper because of him.

"You don't look attractive nor appealing to me, so stop it"

He cleared his throat and nod his head as if an idea came up and I was taken a back when he look at me seriously. I don't like him looking at me like this.

"Okay fine. Where do you live?" He ask gone those playful smirk in his face

Wait! What?! Asking what?

" I want to meet your parents so that your vision won't get blurry"

My jaw literally drop and my eyes widened trying to process what he said.

Meet my parents?

"Parents? And who say's my vision is blurry?"

"I'm too handsome to be shit babe, and I want to meet your parents. Maybe you'll see me as Seviro Alcinous Castaldi after that" he explain

A single laughed escape in my mouth and I lightly slap my forehead while still laughing. Is he crazy or his really making fun of me? I close my eyes tightly when I realize what is happening and I press my lips together and stared at him.

"I don't want to play your games Seviro Castaldi. So spare me, because I'm not good in playing games. Especially your game" I said leaving him dumbfounded

My heart is beating so loud as I enter my house. I immediately open the lights and I sighed in relief seeing the huge living room. I almost forgot who I am, I almost forgot why I need to be someone else.

I won't let it happen again.

*****

A smile form in my lips as I felt a slight breeze causing the stem of yellow orchid flower to sway. I've been sitting here on the bench under the narra tree since this morning and eyeing to that amazing flower. The wind is so refreshing reason why I usually came here. But this is the first time I notice that unique yellow orchid. It's actually eye catching. Rosemary are planted everywhere so I always saw it, well it's beautiful yet annoying.

"I wonder how can I make you dance on the rythm of my brush paint..." I whisper to myself thinking deeply while staring a very interesting creation that ever made

It's flower petal is interesting, the shape and shade and all.

Lazily, I pulled my phone on the pocket of my black track pants and I stand leaving my things on the bench. No one will try to touch my things, I'm confident with that.

I start to walk closer to the flower and took a close up photo. I slightly creased my forehead as I felt the sun rays on my bare skin. It's still 9 o'clock in the morning yet the heat from the sun is not friendly on the skin.

I sometimes hate sunny weather though I also don't like rainy days. I force myself to go back but I stop when I saw an unfamiliar man sitting on the bench where my things are.

I'm trying to recognize his face, apparently he's not someone who I met before, I'm sure of that. I felt his curious gaze on me as I stop beside him to gather my things. His stare is more annoying than Seviro Castaldi, but I stop when he spoke.

"You're a painter?"

With forehead creased I look at him and he's smiling at me. I narrowed my eyes to read his emotions but then his smile is too genuine. I can't see bad about it though I feel discomfort on it.

I don't know how can someone ask a stranger in a very casual way. I shrugged my shoulder and nod.

"I guess I am" I simply replied

He tilted his head and look at the street again while nodding his head. I'm not really friendly you know.

"I love oncidium" he mumble

He's smiling, yet he is sad...

"My mother, she loves planting an orchid flowers but oncidium is something that she treasure the most" he continue

I'm trying my best not to raised my eyebrow. I'm not interested with the stories of other people but I just found myself handing him a handkerchief. He's close to crying.

He immediately stop and stood up as he saw my handkerchief. He chuckle lowly and shyly scratch the back of his head.

"Sorry Miss, but it's not necessary. I'm not really crying, I just remember my Mom"

"Okay" I said

I put back my handkerchief on the pocket of my pants. I didn't insist no more, if he doesn't want it then fine. Beside I need to meet a client today. Let's just say that I'm a working student. I need to do something for living.

"What do they call you Miss?"he interrupted me when I was about to leave

I took a deep breath and exhale. My gaze landed on his extended hand expecting me to do the same. Too bad, I don't do hand shake.

"I'm Rivo Castilian by the way" he added

"And what does make you think that I will tell you my name?" I ask not minding his question

He awkwardly laughed feeling shy all of a sudden as he put down his hand.

"I'm sorry if I offended you, I thought we're cool"

I laugh on my mind. It doesn't mean I entertain his question then he could ask me already. Assuming, definitely. I don't do pleasing others because I honestly don't care if I offended them.

I sighed and crossed my arm.

"What does oncidium means?" I utter

He look at me, eyeing me with questioning look on his face. I smirk because of it.

"What?"

"Tell me what does oncidium means and I let you know my name"

I don't give something if he won't do something too. There's nothing free in this world. Weird? Well, that's me. I'm really weird most of the time.

He amusingly eyed me and I just raise my eyebrow. What? He's not expecting it, I know. I'm not also expecting him to ask my name. He's a curious freak. I suddenly remember that conceited jerk.

Wait! I shouldn't think about him!

"It's a dancing lady-"

"Cami Xena, that's what they called me" I cut him off and I walk away

I think this will be the last time I go to this place. I put my left hand on the left pocket of my track pants and tightly grip the strap of my bag

I need to meet a client today as what I said. I just hope, I got my luck because I really need money right now. I sighed and look at my wrist watch.

"Goodluck to me" I hissed to myself

Waiting to the cab, my phone vibrate and I was force to answer it as I saw Ella's name flash on the screen.

What does she want this time?

"What?" I plainly greeted her

"Cam..." Ella whisper with a sob

My forehead furrowed. Is she crying?

"Why are you crying?" I curiously ask

I tighten the grip on my phone because of the sudden nervousness. The other line went silent and I bit my lower lip. I wanted to ask a lot of questions but I'm restraining myself. I press my lips together and patiently wait her response.

"Cami..." she sob again

Mierda!

"Ella Marie! I'll end this call if-"

"I'm here in the hospital. Sabrina is in danger. I don't know what happen but she is cover with blood" her voice cracked in panicked

W-What? I fisted my hand. Should I go? I close my eyes tightly.

"Message me where are you. I'm on my way"

And with that I end the call and run without thinking that I need to meet a client today. I don't know why I'm doing this. But I'm worried.
