SECRET

Xheilyn's POV

"Augh!"I groaned as I move my butt heading to the kitchen for a bit water coz my lips are drying... gosh! It looks like that woman really wanted to welter every bones and nerves of my system.

I didn't know that it would be hard for practicing that proper poise blah blah blah

Deym! I still have to finish some of my projects and I don't have the time obeying his rules screwing his dilemmas what do he think?that he was the only one that having a crisis in life?I have my own problem too but I don't involve other people to get rid of it! One thing I hate the most is making his self superior than the others Raw bachelor!

I held the glass pitcher and pour a water to my rounding glass I'm still in my hoop skirt and Im having a crisis to get on a shower but maybe after I rest my spine... I sat back again and extended my long exposed legs to straighten and make myself comfortable I don't mind if my cycling is almost seeing coz of a bit flipped of my skirt,I'm the only one in the flat not that bit creepy though so I don't mind.

Feeling like you are floating in the midst of flowing wind it's very peaceful... no screaming,yelling or gossiping and in this moment there's only one thing I know what to do I grin tricky and lay my hand on my bag and get my  SEVENTH THRONE WAR BOOK. I laid back and open for the first chapter when suddenly I heard the door bell ringing what da!

I closed my book frustratedly and rised heavily.

And who the hell would making a visit in this doubtful evening?I thought this was his private flat and no one knows about this except the whole B-BOYS and of course ME!

LUCKY MISERABLE XHEILYN LING-LING!

I open the door and SURPRISE!

"What are you doing here?"I asked as he enter the room.

"What am I doing in my own flat?"he asked back sarcastically and headed straight to the countertop.

"Did you forget something?"I asked following him.

"Miranda is home I can't be there so I'm staying here until she gone back to Paris"

"But what about me?am I going home also?"

"No!of course you were staying here"looking to my vision.

"Wait no!I can't be here if you will staying here!"

"Are you afraid that you gonna rip by me?"that grinning face while my eyes widen.

"Of course not!"I objected."Even your a monster I'm sure you don't like ripping an eighteen years old bitch!"I snapped crossing my arms.

"Sure!"

"I said I'm not staying here!"

"Then you don't have a choice but staying outside"he neglected and took a sip again what I nice view!

"No I'm going home"I said and headed to my room.

"I have my own room here you don't have to get bother!"

I faced him again.

"First of all I didn't still agree to this and I don't ever have the plan but the only thing I was here because I need you to find my father!"I burst.

—

"You have my word" he said and sat on his divan.

He just ignore my ranges this guy is really impossible!

I looked around like I'm finding words to throw it to his face.

"You look exhausted take a shower now and..."he took a survey on me while I'm following his eyes by mine.

"Fix your skirt before I can't restrained myself"he said and looked away while grinning.

I take a bow and I saw my flipped skirt and exceeding black cycling while I distend my eyes and  immediately rushed and shut the door of my room.

Damn it! And what do he mean before he can't restrain his self?

I laid in my bed and covered my face by the pillow and screamed no way! I'm blushing for that stupid sentence.

In about 5 minutes keeping myself low for thrilling I rised and headed for a shower.

I dry my long hair and sat on my swivel chair I forgot my bag and all my things I haven't taking my dinner yet when I heard grumbling sound from my belly.

After disputing my essence to get out I finally open the door I saw him lying in the long settee and reading MY BOOK!

"Hey!"I shout and rushed towards him but he immediately avert his hand and draw my book away.

"Give it back to me!"I frowned.

"It's just a book and your turning to be selfish of it?"he hoisted his eyebrows.

His right but there's something inserted there and I'm afraid he can saw it.

"I'm not done reading it"I lower my tone giving him a soft grin.

"It doesn't look like that,it seems there's something here you don't want me to see"he said raising and waving my book.

"Think what you want just give it back to me"I nod-off.

"Hmmm"he grinned and open my book and flipped every page of it.

"Give it back!"maybe I can stop him but something fell from it and landed on his lap.

I immediately extended my arms but his faster than me and at risk he did grab it, he should join humbling gang i mumbled in my mind.But I don't have the time for thinking that!the thing I was afraid he might see just happened in one blink.

We both freeze and in a sudden he finally get the photo. THAT WAS THE PHOTO OF OUR FAMILY;DAD,ME AND...MOM!

"I said give it back!"I snapped And get the picture from his hand before he can say any word.

I was about to turn back to my room when I heard my grumbling belly again.Not now!

I stepped and I heard Taerror's speak.

"Let's take a dinner! I haven't eaten yet"

I looked to him but I only saw his back shoulder pad along the kitchen and starting to prepare for a dinner.

"I can cook for my food"I said to him.

"Are you saying I can't cook you a food?"

"I'm saying you don't have to cook for my food"I said directly not looking.

"And who thought you I will cook for your food?"he asked while his eyebrows are briefly hoisted teasing me.

"But you just—"I snapped, whatever!I can do it myself.

I let my foot draw to the kitchen not leaning or thinking of his presence.

I opened the cabinetry and  i was about to get my  steak Au poivre a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper that I cooked when I arrived,but the kitchen cabinetry only contain a couple of pasta noodles, sauce and bunch of can goods and beans.

Why its not here?I just put it there.

I leaned to him and saw my cooked steak he was about to take a bite.

"That's my steak!"I yelled stopping him.

But he didn't sound tuned and continued eating.

So this is why he opened the cabinetry and took a fork earlier,why I didn't notice that?

I held the steak in the plate but he only tapped my right hand.

"That's mine!"I said in his face but he didn't looked annoyed.

"I thought you can cook for yourself?"he said.

"Yes!and I just did!"I said looking drastic.

"But I eaten it already"

I rolled my eyes and gave him a monstrous look.

"I'm starving I can't cook for another one!did you know how hard to perfect that?I only watched it on YouTube!"how thus this guy become a burden to my life?

"Then let's just share"he said giving me a grin face.

That's the problem I don't always like haft dishes I preferred for whole because I hated when I get even. I sighed like breathless when my belly grumbled again.

He draw the plate closed to me and took another prim fork for me and left. I followed him with my gazed. Thanks!

Taerror's POV

What a sanity to think that it would be work to treat her like that?"Stupid books!"I mumbled.

I thought it would be a nice try to treat her someway that the book has says,"Being an importunate is being a cute!"I smirked.

That's the dumbest line I ever read!but I never knew that this girl has something more secrets as i ever imagined,I suppose she had an stable and easy life to live but she had carry something big on her past,with his father!it makes me think what really happened. That's why I should draw myself near to her, hoping someday she will come and open it from me.

I sighed laying in my fabrous bed. There's a lot of things I have to think,I didn't even do again my tittups and consoles...it looks like my life turns to boring,I'm tired of everything!I had on my plan and it should only have to carry on for perfect time and right moment.

It's a surprise Miranda is home—or should I call on house since there's no other family there—homeless—i thought she would be taking care of Max—her only son,yeah I prefer it to call his only son since he gave Max special treatment like a VIP,she always check and worried about Max,it's always been Max she didn't even give efforts to take care of me and Taerah,not knowing Max is an illegitimate child of her from the other man the one she truly loved—and not my father.

I was thirteen when we find out that Max is my brother since we thought from the start that he was our cousin and his my mom's nephew, I knew that his my mom's favorite nephew but I never thought it would be more than with that,Dad almost died because of heart attack when Mom admit it to us, probably when we catch her and he called Max as her son by an accident,she would no reasons to scratch out things so she finally admitted it to us,at first things become complicated for me Max is my closest cousin and my best friend he's more like a brother to me,I should be joyed when i knew he was my half brother but knowing his the result of moms betrayal to my father I despise that,and so our friendship ended with that moment we never approached each other since then. Even to his secret twin Gravier,I never been good a friend to him since he's nothing to partake from the lies of my Mom,our family relation become secret since our families reputation should be saved and protected, no one knew about it.

I should convince more myself that Dad's death is the most tragic thing that ever happened to us,since he died mom's responsibility was draw away,she even let Max and Gravier stayed at the house and worst they looked more one complete family while Taerah and I were left behind,though Max and Gravier has always been good to us Mom's presence were also died that's when my gloomy life begin.

I've been thankful that Taerah was there to stand as my parent,I've still been blessed that I have her she's the only one I have,though my best friends are there they cheer me up when I was on high school. My high schools days were awesome! thanks to them they enlighten it,we used to perform as b-boys!get dance and sang for everyone the friendship is great that's the only thing I keep to treasure as I continued living my life,not thinking Miranda to be my Mother.

I closed my eyes and finally headed to the bathroom to take my shower.

I drain my wet black hair that drips every ends of my strands to my exposed upper body when suddenly I heard voice and knocking on the door.

"Uhm hello?someone wants to talk to you?"I heard Xheilyn's voice and saw her when I opened the door. I catched her reaction as I saw she biten her lips looking uneasy to my exposed upper body.

I made a grin face as I put my white shirt on and look away when I saw a lady in red fitted dress that almost skipped on her curvy body with a red stilettos heel hanging into between her legs.

Oh my it should be"Karen?"I uttered walking towards her as she sat on my long settee waiting for me.

"Hi babe"she stood as she closed to me and place her both hands on my shoulder and give me a kiss on my lips.

"What are you doing here?"I asked as I take off her hands on my neck now.

"I thought you miss me?why your not calling me since on your last consoles?"she made a sullen eyes and sulky sound roaming her fingertips on my chest.

"I'm busy"leaving her and went to countertop for a bit wine.

"Busy of what? Is this girl your new?she's too young I bet she's a freshman"she burst looking to Xheilyn unsightly.

I leaned to Xheilyn and she looks uneasy and ashamed as she bow her head and put her hands in between.

"Her name is Xheilyn..."I looked to her firmly as she leaned to me.

....and she's my girlfriend"I said stopping myself to make a chuckle sound as I looked to her reaction being frightened and surprised.

"What?!"she burst stamping her feet towards me.

"We've been a fling on almost a year but you didn't tell yourself as I'm your girlfriend!or so what it is?is this really for real?!"she's on ranges I saw clenching her jaw.

"You already tell yourself that we are just a fling,you should not think it's more than with that though your old enough to know the difference between lust and love"I said hoisting my eyebrows.

"Oh please babe!"she draw herself closed to me again holding my both hands.

"I know I've been MIA, I'm sorry I know your just teasing me"she said while her eyes are begging.

"No!you can leave now Karen"I said to her and take a sip to my wine.

She gave me a Jibe looked and next to Xheilyn before she slammed out of the door.

"You may take your bed"I said before he turn around.

"You too"she said softly and continued to her room.
