excitement

On Friday night Janelle watched her brother collect her phone and sent an enticing message to Kim..

'kim come to my house tomorrow morning, we're going shopping.. with Javier's card'..

a reply came in almost immediately..

'really?! brother Javier's card'???.. thank goodness I cancelled my date.. #can't wait (＾∇＾)ﾉ♪'..

after that Javier dropped the phone inside his bed side drawer and locked the drawer.

he passed her a smirk that read 'you both are in trouble'.

that was how they ended up sitting there almost crying.. Kim managed to keep her cool.

but the cool vanished when she saw Tristan enter the study room.. she would've fallen out of the couch if Janelle wasn't holding her hands.

the study room was dead silent for more than 10 minutes.. till Tristan spoke up.

"so I see you girls have started going on dates" the girls looked up when he spoke up.. but got scared when they saw the smile on his handsome face.

"I see you girls have been so less busy"

this time it was Javier that spoke..

Tristan and Javier were cousins.. Javier's father was Tristan's mother's elder brother.. the both of them were age mates so they grew up as best friends, both were two overprotective of their sisters.

"your credit cards will be collected from you for a month.. I'll get you guys a tutor." Javier laid out punishments for them that'll hit them hard..

"to avoid what happened with your last tutor, you'll be learning in Javier's office" as Tristan threw this suggestions, the two girls dropped to their knees immediately and begged.

"brother Tristan you can't be like this, you can't treat us this way, please" Janelle begged with her two hands together.

"we won't survive this, brother please.. they'll be no unruly act from us again.. please" Kim begged, but seeing Tristan wasn't going to answer her, she crawled to Javier and hugged one of his legs.

"brother Javi please, this act won't repeat it self.. I promise" with tears in her eyes, Kim begged fervently.. Javier was beginning to get moved by her tears and red face

"Kimmy this isn't only about you guys going on dates, you need to work on you exams.. and I don't want you guys to scare you tutor again like last time and I also don't want you to bring poor results like last semester.. you get right?"

"and plus you won't be learning literarily inside Javier's office.. you'll be learning in one of the empty office rooms on his private floor.. don't cry, it's for you own good" Tristan lifted Janelle up and put her on the couch and passed her a tissue box..

after a lot of coaxing they finally stopped crying, but that was after both brother's agreed to not confiscate their card..

when the girls left the study, they didn't talk to each other till they reached Janelle's room.

"they've never been this harsh in their punishments" Kim plopped on the bed still thinking about the tutor..

"so we'll have a new tutor by Monday... I wish I didn't go on that date" Janelle started regretting doing a lot of things she did.

"Jason is so lucky, he smart and behaved, he doesn't need a tutor and he doesn't need to be scolded" they sighed in unison. both of them were immersed in their thoughts and eventually fell asleep.. pretty tough morning for them.

Javier visited Jason in his room, they talked for a while, then Javier left the house happily, he was happy that he didn't see his mom, Javier was tired of the 'bring me a daughter-in-law or get a girlfriend' conversation.

he left alone as Tristan had an urgent meeting he needed to attend to.

************

The weekend was a long one, but eventually Monday came.. some people were excited while some people dreaded that day.. but the day still came anyways.

kaisha was supposed to report to work by 8:30am. but she woke up by 5:00am cause she was overly excited. she could barely sleep, she just couldn't wait to resume work in a big firm that pays well, and a little bit of her wanted to see the handsome Greek god.

she brought out a pair of beige coloured palazzo pants and cream colored turtle neck top.. to keep herself busy, she arranged her bed, went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast.

whenever kaisha saw her dad cooking, the thoughts in her mind will be 'how hard can it be', now she knew how hard it could be.

staring at the burnt bacons in front of her, she almost cried.. but then again, she didn't have time to dilly-dally.

"6:38?? how did time fly so fast, I need to get ready now and probably get a box of doughnuts and cup of coffee on my way" she was almost panicking but she managed to keep herself in check..

35 minutes later.. she walked out of her room in the outfit she brought out and a pair of nude pump heels.. she applied gel neatly on her hair, making it look sleek in the low ponytail.

as she walked out of the apartment, her dangling earrings bounced with her movements.she applied no makeup, just a lipgloss and she drew a simple but beautiful eyeliner design on her eyelid.

kaisha jaws dropped as she stepped out of a cab and saw the building before her, the last time she was there.. she didn't have time to admire the structure.

she walked into the building with an alluring smile and a bag in her left hand, containing a cup of coffee and some doughnuts.

she went to last floor of the building and met a secretary there.

"good morning" kaisha greeted the man behind the desk with a sweet smile.

"good morning, you're Ms. kaisha?"the man asked politely

"yes, what can I call you Mr?"

"sorry about that, you can call me Gerald" the guy was staring at her with gooey eyes.. kaisha felt shy under his gaze

"okay Mr Gerald, could you please show me to my cubicle"

"ohh yeah" he was obviously stunned by her beauty.

he showed her the office and left after briefing her about her duties.

1. get to work before the CEO

2. get him a cup of strong coffee once he settles in.

3. following for every meeting, no matter the location.

4. having his schedule stuck to her brain, no overlapping of meetings.

and other minor duties.

"I can do this, it's nothing I can't handle" she assured her self as she was left alone..

"wow this office is beautiful" she admired the office and touched a particular wall, it was made of a thick glass.. though it wasn't a see through glass.

"I could use this as a mirror, for checking my outfits.. cute" she looked at herself through the mirror smiling.

she had her breakfast and got ready to meet her new boss.
