Chapter 11

AFTER the three of them ate, Phoebe brought the food to the kitchen and then told Sawyer to watch over Shenay first because she was going to take the six to the hut.

"Just make it fast. Come back right away," he said.

She could do nothing but nod at what he said. She didn't know why Sawyer was saying that. She didn't just complain at him because he will definitely wouldn't make lose. He's a hardheaded also.

Even though they only met yesterday, she seemed to know him immediately. She could not understand herself why it was so easy for her to obey him.

"Are you finished?" she asked immediately after entering the hut.

She shook her head to see that they were still holding their plates. It was really good and she cooked a lot of rice. She knew as much as she could not satisfy them in the slightest when their favorite was the one she cooked.

Her tinula was also one of their favorite. If only that was their dish everyday, they would prefer it but nothing tastes better than her cooking. She step inside while shaking her head.

"Can we have dinner here too?" Ziegler's tongue chewed on her.

She was stunned. That's cannot be happening. Phoebe shook her head quickly.

“I will not cook dinner. Maybe I'll eat there later with Shenay. I want to eat Aling Gali's food, I think I missed that,” she replied here.

Five except Caldwell snorted as if he didn't care about his surroundings anymore, his full attention focused on what he was eating. That's Caldwell. When he eats and if his favorite was served, his full attention is there only. Even if you tease him, he will just ignore you.

"Oh? Can we have breakfast here tomorrow?” Harkin asked while spooning the rice.

Phoebe wonders where they put the food they eat. The rice in the cooker was so only small that she estimated that it was four scoop.

"No!" she shook at once.

"Why?" Kale asked.

"I'm going to Laurel house tomorrow," she replied then sit beside Caldwell.

He looked at her for a moment before looking back at its plate. It’s hard to disturb a hungry person. They like to eat but do not gain weight.

"I want more," North said loudly as Caldwell finished the rice from the pot.

"Then cook!" Ziegler sighed while he was now resting.

Phoebe was sure he was lacking as well. But she was too lazy to cook for them again. Phoebe peeked secretly at her house to look at Sawyer, because Shenay might try to get out, and Sawyer will follow her.

"After you eat you better leave, I'll going to sleep." She stood in front of them with a her hand was in her belly.

Simultaneously the six of them looked up at her including Caldwell who had earlier been on the meal with his full attention. The six stared at her as if in disbelief. They also shook their head at the same time.

"You didn't sleep at noon lady," Caldwell raised an eyebrow after swallowing his food.

Phoebe was stunned. She was wrong in what she said. They knew that it was not her job to sleep at noon. She gulped nervously.

"But I'm sleeping now, you know people changed. Well everyone need to changed."

"Hmm." They just ignore what she said.

She stamp her feet in front of them and then turned her back. “After that you go away but first put your plates in the kitchen. I'll wash it later. I am ashamed of you! I didn't even eat but I'm washing it. Leave afterwards, hmp!” She stared at them and then marched into her house.

She even heard their laughter. Phoebe frowned even more. They are really like to bully her sometimes.

"We love you, Phoebe!" they shouted that make her sneered.

Crazy people. She walked towards her room. When she was in front of it she stopped outside for awhile. Phoebe felt the strength of her heartbeat again. She will see the handsome Sawyer inside this room again. Phoebe took a deep breath then exhaled it. She do the inhale, exhale to calm herself.

She repeated what she did. She even closed her eyes while doing that. Because her eyes closed she also did not realize that the door of her room opened.

"What are you doing?" A baritone voice was heard by Phoebe while she was doing the inhale, exhale.

She was stunned. Until she slowly opened her eyes. And upon opening her eyes, Sawyer's eyes and her accidentally met. One of his hands held the doorknob while one hand was in the pocket of his short.

Phoebe almost held her breath when he approached her. Her eyes widened as he squeezed her waist closer to his body.

"Breath, babe," he said and brought his face close to her.

"Sawyer ..."

She immediately closes her eyes when his face get closer to her face. They just rub their lips against each other until ...

"What the hell are you doing? Why are you pouting?"

Phoebe opened her eyes because of the voice she heard. She immediately stared at the man at the door, frowning as he looked at her.

What happened? Why is there --- Don't tell her that it's just an imagination? Omg! Her eyes almost glazed up because of realizing that.

"Huh?" That was the only word that came out of her mouth.

She bit her lips. She couldn't believe she could think of that thing. Sawyer's forehead furrowed even more at her action. He approached her and held her hand. He pulled her inside the room at the same time as they heard the voices of her friends.

Their voices went straight to the kitchen, maybe to put down what they had eaten. And until they heard the noise of them heading towards her bedroom.

“Madee? We're done. We're going home,” Caldwell said.

Phoebe nodded even though they couldn't see it. She was hesitant to let them out. So in the end she thought of just going out to take them outside but she was just about to walk towards the door when Sawyer's arm wrapped around her waist.

"What?" she asked weakly. "I'll take them outside."

He shook his head and the expression hardened. "You'll stay here."

"But -"

"Hard headed, tsk!"

Phoebe was offended by what Sawyer said. She didn't expect that. She had never been call that words. Even among her friends she had never heard that word. She will not accept it. She's not stubborn.

"Don't call me that because I am not!" she said annoyed and then stared at him.

She frowned as she untied his hand from her waist and headed for the door. She didn’t come out, she was just there behind the door.

"I can't accompanied you anymore. Let's just meet the next day," she said.

"Okay. Sleep well our dearest princess," Ziegler said laughing. "We're going now."

"All right," she nodded while pouting.

"Hmm, I'll just put the clothes we bought here on your couch. See you, Madee," Caldwell said then she heard the noise coming from the plastics.

Phoebe just sighed. Why is it that if this rude man orders, the owner of the house is even following him? And why does she follow what he says? She's seems to be defeated in her own home.

Phoebe turned to Sawyer and put her hands on her belly. She raised an eyebrow at him. She is innovating in what he does. It's not her job to shout like this. But when it is really in front of him her rudeness comes out.

"You took your clothes outside!" She sighed and marched towards his bed.

“I don't want -”

“Then don't! I'm not the one who will be stink. Stay away from Shenay and me, you crazy! I don't like the smell of you! ”

His eyes widened as it sniffed himself. Crazy!

"I am not stinky!"

He don’t seem to believe it yet. Well, he doesn't really stink, his scent that she can still smell even from afar. She didn't know if her friends couldn't smell it.

"If you say so ..." Phoebe lay down next to Shenay. She was playing with a doll she bought for her. “Mr. Sawyer Zane.”

"Tsk!"

She heard the door open and close. A few seconds ago it reopened and closed again.

"Where is your towel?" he asked her while choosing clothes to wear in plastic.

“Get a new towel in my closet. It's in the bottom box, in the deepest part. ”

She didn't hear him answer yet so she looked at him. But that's how her eyes grew bigger were when she saw him rising to take off his clothes, exposing to her sight the pandesal of his belly.

Phoebe was stunned. She can't take her eyes off him. It was as if she was hungry again.

“Hmm? You can touch it if you want to," Sawyer said with a smile, which turned her back to reality.

She shuddered and blushed at it, feel embarrassing. "I'd rather hold Caldwell's pandesal."

She immediately averted her eyes so she did not see the change in his emotions. She never heard him answered. She would have liked to look at him but she might just be stunned again by his pandesal. A few seconds of silence prevailed until she heard her closet open and a few moments later her bathroom door opened.

Phoebe lay down on the bed and looked at Shenay who until now was still busy with her doll. It doesn't seem to have any intention of noticing her. They look like Caldwell when it comes to favorite food. She pouted.

"Shenay?" she called.

"Shenay's playing, Pretty Phoeb," she replied while dressing the doll.

She scratched her head so hard. "You can play later She, just sit next to Pretty Phoeb."

"No!"

"Please?" she snorted especially.

Shenay turned to her and stared at her. For a while Shenay also pouted her lips then put her toys aside then she lay down next to her and hugged her.

AFTER taking a bath, Sawyer got dressed in the bathroom. He didn't want to face Phoebe stinky. That's why when she said that he was stinks, he was stunned. He will not accept it also.

"Let's see if you can say again that," he said darkly.

When he finished getting dressed he came out of the bathroom but he was stunned when he looked at the bed where the two were.

The two were lying on the bed. Shenay squeezed and hugged Phoebe. He didn't notice that he was already smiling as he stared at the two. Sawyer was already confused by his feelings. When Phoebe follows what she says she felt joy that he can’t explain.

He couldn’t feel this way for the her but he couldn’t help it, he couldn’t help it. They only met yesterday but he feels like it's been too long.

“I need to stop what I’m feeling. This is so fucking wrong. ”

What's wrong with how you feel? His mind question that make him growl.

He knew he wouldn't last in Phoebe's house, he felt that. From what he saw in his wallet he knew he was not just a simple man. He's a CEO, that's what he saw that he immediately hide from the woman when he noticed she was looking in his hand yesterday. He didn’t know why he even kept it to her.

He knows someone will find him. He is sure that his stay on this island will not take more than a month. And he also needs to remember when that time comes.

Sawyer came over to the bed and sat on its side. He stared into Phoebe's face. Her innocent face is the reason why he feels the beating of his chest. Whatever he felt towards her, he need to avoid it.

He tried to touch her cheek when she moved. He was sit properly. She must have felt his presence. When Phoebe slowly opened her eyes, Sawyer's beautiful eyes were first exposed to her.

"Did I wake you up?" Sawyer asked softly and tenderly.

What is he doing? Why is his tone like that? Fuck! He couldn't help but sneer in his mind as his gaze inadvertently moved to Phoebe's lips.

She lick her lips then slowly arranged Shenay to lie down. She took Shenay arm around her neck and sat down. Phoebe was asleep.

“Of course not. Have you already finished? ”

"I just came out of the bathroom."

She nodded and looked at the clock. It's only three o'clock in the afternoon. Later at five o'clock she will deliver Shenay to their house. If only she could be stay here first, she would like it. Phoebe stood up and went straight to the door. Sawyer's startled look followed her.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll wash the dishes," she answered.

He also stood up and followed her as she came out.

"I'll help you." Phoebe was even more shocked by what she heard from him.

“Hmm? Do you know how?" she asked while her eyebrows was raised.

Sawyer face frowned as he looked back at her. "Of course!"

Phoebe just laughed at him then she led the walk towards the kitchen. Shocking. In Sawyer's appearance she couldn't believe that he knew anything about housework.
