BROTHER XAVIER...YOU ARROGANT GRUMPY MAN

She never thought of coming this way, but did she have a choice. Sitting on a bus stop seat, she touched her wet hair and took out her home from the luggage.

She paused to think if she was doing the right thing.

'Right or wrong, I am hungry'

She switched her phone on to see messages and calls bombarded. Twenty missed calls from her father, five from her so-called fiancé, and seven from her so-called sister.

Maybe later, she would talk to her father, but now, she needed to speak with her brother. She dialed his digit and called.

Coincidentally, the phone went through. She had thought he wouldn't want to speak to her, but that doesn't matter now.

“Hello, big brother…where are you? I am so dead hungry, come and pick me up now… I am at some buses stop…hmm” She memorized the name of the station, “it is called Mas mesa…please pick me up now… I am starving, and I have no money with me. Bye,” She hung up.

Moments later, May noticed a car stopped beside her. She hurriedly went towards the car and knocked on the window. The driver opened the window.

“Yes! May I help you miss…you must need my help” The man lustfully checked out her body.

“Oh, sorry… I thought you were someone”. May frowned in distaste and went back to her seat. The man took one last look at her before leaving.

May ran her hand through her hair in frustration. It was close to dawn and the man wasn't here yet. Will he not come? But I am here for him.

'Brother Xavier…you arrogant grumpy man' She gritted.

...............................

Xavier's assistant looked around the bus stop for the youngest miss. Previously, he was in his boss' study room searching for a file when he heard the sound of a phone ringing.

He saw the phone on the file he was searching for and picked it up. He saw the name 'Stubborn Lilac' as the caller's ID and wondered who that was. Maybe it was urgent, he answered it, only to be bombarded with words from a woman. From the voice, he induced it was the youngest miss.

Just as he wanted to speak back, the woman hung up. He decided to tell his boss about it, but considering how tired the man was, he thought not to.

Now here he was rummaging for her. Gladly, he saw a familiar person napping on a bench. He perched the car and reached the woman.

“Miss May” He clamored. He contemplated she seemed to be having a nightmare from the way she was shivering.

“Miss May” he called once more, but the woman didn't wake up.

'How can someone sleep so deeply with no sense of safety?' He shook his head and touched her arms to wake her.

“Miss….ahhhhhh” The man cried out in pain when the woman lobbed a whack at his private area. 

May had just woken up from a nightmare when she heard the voice of a man calling her. She thought she was in trouble and, out of reflex, she hit his sheltered area and grabbed her luggage to flee.
