CHAPTER 14
I woke up early because of the knock on the door. Why did my mother bother me, when she knew that today was Saturday? I left the room with my eyes narrowed. It was as if I wanted to punch the one who was bothering me this morning, because he was sitting in front of me on the couch in our living room. And he smiled at me.
“Don’t smile at me, Duke, because I’m not happy with your visit. It’s still six in the morning, but you’re already here. What do you need? “I asked him.
“Didn’t you promise Mitch that you would have a walk today?” Duke asked, frowning at me.
“How do you know?” I would ask.
Duke laughed. “Of course I know because she’s in the town with Amara waiting for us,” said Duke.
I was gaping. “Don’t you get tired, Duke? I still want to sleep in the morning, ” I said.
“If it’s okay for Mitch to be there alone and without you. You can also stay here and sleep until tomorrow, “said Duke.
I shook my head.
“I’ll get dressed first,” I said, and left him in the living room.
I was dressing as if I wasn’t in myself. Why did those people wake up so early? After I got dressed, I went out of the room and looked for my mother.
“Don’t say goodbye to your mother, Zander, because she went back to sleep and I’m done saying goodbye to her too,” said Duke, as she looked at his phone.
“What are you looking at there?” I asked.
“This is Don Agusto. He is one of the richest men in our town.” said Duke once, showing me his phone.
“Who is that?” I asked him again, as if I didn’t know the man.
“I’m done saying who he is, Zander, just go back to sleep. Just don’t come with us. I’ll just find another date for Mitch there.” said Duke.
“Bastard. Wait, is that well-known here in our area?”
“Yes, don’t you know?” I shook my head.
“Yes, he is rich but unmarried. I don’t know what his story reached this age without being married. We know that he is in his fifties,” said Duke.
“Maybe a lot of women are suing him, but maybe he didn’t like anything at all. Because, based on what I heard, he was hurt when his girlfriend married another man, “said Duke.
I was also curious about what Duke said about Don Agusto. I want to ask him when he comes home next.
“The family he has is good. They are not the types who like to insult and hurt others. So many love their family. ”
I nodded in response. We had reached the area where Mitch and Amara were waiting. I opened the car window.
“Come on, girls.” I told them.
I went out for a moment to go to the back so that Amara could sit in the front seat.
“Why are you frowning?” Mitch asked me, as she sat down next to me.
“Duke is bothering me in the morning. I still want to sleep. Where are we going? “I asked.
“Why don’t you go to sleep now? I’ll just wake you up when we get to where we’re going. ”
Mitch made me lie down on her lap, causing me to stiffen on the seat.
“Is there a problem, Zander? Lie down here on my lap so you can sleep a little bit,” said Mitch.
I’ll just leave to see if Duke heard what we were talking about because he was also busy talking to his girlfriend. I said,
“I’m going to just lean my head here in the chair.”
“All right.”
And Mitch stopped talking to me after she was busy looking at her phone. Although I also regretted her offer, I was ashamed. So at the end, I could not sleep. The car stopped at a beach resort. And at the same time, the three of them came out while I was left inside the car. Why didn’t they say that we were going to the beach? I wish I had brought any extra clothes. Duke knocked on the window. So I just went out.
“What happened to you? Why are you lazy now? You act like a woman. Don’t tell me you were turned into gay. ” Duke asked.
“Bastard! I hope you told us to go to the beach so I could bring some clothes, ” I said.
“Mitch already bought you,” said Duke, then laughed, and went inside the beach resort.
Mitch and Amara waved at us in the distance. The dining style of such a beach resort is good because the tables are set outside and the diners step on the sand. But there is a roof to keep customers from getting too hot and drizzly in the sun and rain. The two women had already ordered food. I know they haven’t eaten yet, especially me.
“Sit down, Zander,” said Duke.
“Are you feeling bad, Zander? I told Duke not to come to you but he really insisted,” said Amara.
“No, but it’s like my soul was left in our house,” I answered, and Mitch laughed.
I felt different because of her laughter and how beautiful she. It’s only now that I realize I want this woman.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“That’s just missing the bath, Zander. Take a bath later after you eat. I also bought you a change of clothes, “said Mitch.
“Why did you suddenly become kind, Mitch?” Amara asked.
“Shut up, Miss, if you don’t want me to report you to your parents,” said Mitch. Amara frowned.
“That’s enough. Let’s eat first. ” Duke’s rebuke.
I woke up to the sound of my phone. I had a good night’s sleep because I was so tired from our trip yesterday. I answered the phone without looking at the caller. But suddenly my spirit awoke when I heard the voice of the caller on the other line.
“Hello, Zaneska. How are you? Why did you suddenly disappear yesterday without saying goodbye? ” Mr Ching asked me.
I sigh. When will this man stop me?
“Look, Mr. Tao Ching. The girls invited me to go home, so why should I let you know? You are too busy drinking. That is why. ” My answer.
“I’ll visit you there.” He says. Suddenly, I panicked.
How did I get into this mess? I made the wrong decision to approach him because he could not be brought into a good conversation. He can’t understand that he got nothing from me.
