Chapter 2
"Will you stop calling me!" I was stunned when I planned to enter the kitchen. Calix was angry with the person I was talking to. I don't know who it was and why he didn't want to call her anymore. "I already have a girlfriend, deborah. Stop making this worst. I don't like you. .”
I frowned. Deborah? Shes familiar. I've heard that name "I know I made a mistake, you know that too. So please don't bother me anymore!”
He hung up when I peeked. He came out of the kitchen and went to the left so he didn't see me.
He entered the exit which I think was towards the back. Even as I wanted to follow him, I heard the footsteps of someone entering the living room.
Because of what I was wearing, I hurried up to the stairs. Aunt Raque was the one I saw with a tupperware. I hurried into the room when he looked up.
I even knocked down the door when I finally sat in the room I didn't know whose.
"Fuck!" I pulled out my hair. I don't know whose room this is and maybe it was aunt Raquel's that I entered. "What is happening to me?" I was about to grab the doorknob when I saw it turn. It turned open and I almost prayed that it wasn't aunt Raquel who entered the room.
"What are you doing here!" My eyes widened when winter shouted. I pulled it and covered my mouth. I don't want aunt Raquel to see that I'm fine like this, I'm still ashamed of Trixie's mommy.
"Shit!" I let go of winter when he suddenly bit my hand. His eyes were still wide but he was also embarrassed to see what I was doing.
"What is that again, son! Why are you naked.."
"I'll explain later, okay. Don't be noisy.."
"You go out!"
"No, Aunt Raquel is outside!"
He couldn't look at me before he grabbed the blanket to throw it at me.
"Wrap that around your body!"
I followed what he wanted. I wrapped it around me because I didn't want to miss him. Only then did he turn to me before sighing.
"What are you doing here in my room?" I sat on the bed as he distanced himself from me. He leaned against the door, looking bad "I only made a mistake due to confusion..”
He let out another heavy breath before looking away. But I felt better because I saw him again. If so, this is his room. Here he sleeps.
"What are you smiling at?" I looked at it because of the question that was shrouded in confusion. This woman is now standing.
"Are you falling for my smile?"
"Where are you!"
"I hope so, Villapania..” I stood up and approached him. Here is his reaction that I will never forget. His eyebrows meeting, his eyes that are getting more beautiful are glaring at me. His red lips pursed as he stared at me.
"One day you will like me too, I will not fail because I have strong confidence. You are mine, because I want..”
I saw her swallow. I like that, he tenses up in my presence. He was restless and couldn't look directly at me.
"I just don't want to be jealous, Villapania. Maybe because I'm so jealous I'll possess you forever.."
"Trixie is already with you, ashong. That's right, I don't want to be the way of your separation. I don't want to break our relationship with my cousins..”
I looked away. I rested my palm between them before bowing.
"I will tell Trixie the truth. I will confess but I will not blame him.”
He laughed loudly.
"You won't admit anything, son. Stand up for what you entered!”
I didn't answer. I don't know what to say because I don't know how to get out of what I went into.
Why wasn't winter the first person I met? Why is this cousin the first to catch my attention?
A person deserves only one person, asong. Because the human heart is only one, don't mix the two..” I gave her a serious look. Later cried before bringing his face closer to hers.
"There is only one thing in my heart, villapania.." he stopped, his eyes widened as he moved "Only you.."
He just swallowed again in reaction. But I got no answer because of a knock that made both of us turn around.
"Are you in, wen?" winter turned to me because of calix's voice. His eyes widened because of Calix's sudden knock.
"Am I going in?"
"Sandals!" winter shouted in response. He was confused while I stood in front of him and watched his reaction.
Calix better see us here.
"There, bend down!"
"W-what?" My face crumpled at what he said "Bow down! Hide there under the bed!"
"What the fuck, No!"
"I'll break your bones, you ass!"
"Shit!"
I couldn't do anything but bow down. He also forcibly made me sit and hid me under his bed.
"Thank you, I like you.." he just looked at me before he settled down.
Later he walked over and opened the door for Calix who immediately sat down on the soft bed where I was underneath.
Winter Pov
I was restless in the room while Calix was telling me something about the photos he had with him today.
It was in a box as he showed me one by one "You told me earlier about these old photos right?" I nodded. I remained standing in front of him because I couldn't sit on the bed.
I'm thinking about Ashong there, if he's still comfortable since he's been bent over for so long.
"Just put it there, I'll look at it later.."
That's what I said to Calix who stopped rummaging through the box. He put his hand down before looking at me.
"I thought you wanted to see this?"
"Yes, but because I have something else to do, I'll look into that later.."
"Am I bothering you?" I shook my head before smiling.
"No, I'm just going to take a shower because I just got home from the farm." Calix nodded before finally closing the box on her side.
"Shall I just wait for you at the rest house?"
"Yes, just wait for me there."
He nodded again. He placed the box on the side of the bed before looking at me again. From what I could see, he wanted to say something but was obviously hesitant. He sighed.
"Can I invite you to the house?"
"Now?" No, maybe at Christmas. Because mommy just wants you to be at home.." I couldn't answer Calix. I also won't do anything on Christmas because I'll just stay here with my family.
But I still don't know the event that will happen next week.
Christmas is next week, I don't have a plan yet and I don't know if I will have a plan "I also want to be with you, it's night. I'll let you know uncle.."
"All right. If that's what you want." he smiled at me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to sit next to him.
I don't know what to do in front of calix. This wasn't the first time we shared the same room. He was here often, when we were still in high school we used to finish our homework together here in this room.
Mama and erpats have confidence in calix. But since our status has changed now from my previous youth, I don't feel comfortable anymore.
Especially now that I know ashong is under the bed and might suddenly bump into him and make a noise.
”You gave me an early Christmas present, wen. Im happy today.." Calix was serious while looking at me. I used to blush every time he looked at me like this.
But I don't know why I'm fine now. I am not affected by his soft voice.
What's happening to me?
”We supposed to celebrate our 3rd month this 25th of December. Do you still remember?”
I nodded.
It's been three months. It was so fast and I never thought we would reach this kind of relationship. This is what I wanted before, but I proved to myself that I feel nothing but admiration for Calix.
Until then, because it's true. I'd rather we stay friends while I admire it.
No love, I don't feel that. I have different feelings for Calix.
"This is the first Christmas we are officially in a relationship. I thought we wouldn't be..”
I just smiled again. I can't say anything because I don't feel well because of Ashong.
I'm annoyed because he hides underneath and I know he hears everything Calix says.
I don't know if he's laughing or maybe he's angry.
"I should have confessed to you before, I wish we had been together before.."
"It's better that you focus on your studies before we become, last year at Fatima. That's what we're going to focus on right now.."
He smiled. He squeezed my cheek before pulling me and suddenly hugging me I leaned on his chest. His hand was on my back while his chin was on my head.
"I can study even if I am your girlfriend. You have never been a hindrance to me.."
I didn't answer anymore. I let him hug me because I knew he was just happy.
But I didn't stay long in our embrace because suddenly someone caressed my foot. I managed to separate from Calix while being swallowed by what Ashong did.
Calix gave me a surprised look. "What?" He kept his gaze on me before standing up to approach me.
"M-my stomach hurts.."
"Why? What did you eat?" Calix was immediately concerned because of the reason I said. But I don't feel stomach ache But I'm nervous because I can see Ashong's hand on the side.
"I-I haven't eaten anything, can you just wait for me at the rest house?"
"Are you sure?" he made sure while examining me. I nodded before he opened the door.
"I'm just going to go to the resthouse. I'm just going to take a shower.." I led him out. He didn't do anything but follow but he also stopped before I closed the door.
"Take your medicine before you go down. I'll wait for you there, okay?" I nodded. I hurried to close the door but he came closer to me which shocked my system.
He gave me a peck of kiss. He placed a kiss on my lips before walking away from the door..
"Take your time, I'll go first.." he himself went to the door before it completely disappeared from my sight.
I just stayed standing while blinking. I feel that this is not right, I feel that I am lying to Calix and that there is something wrong with me.
I can't explain my feelings because I suddenly felt guilty " I was surprised by the sudden appearance of Ashong next to me. I easily hurt him because of the stupid things he was doing.
"Get out, ass. Can you!"
"Tsk..." he averted his gaze. His forehead was wrinkled as he frowned. Later he bit his lip before turning to me again. "Is that guy kissing too?" he frowned. He stroked his hair before caressing his chin.
"I'm jealous.."
I laughed at what he said.
"Stop this, Ashon. I don't want it anymore, fuck me first.."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because that's what it's supposed to be! "Do you deserve to prove what you want?" I frowned at what he said. ”I know how you feel about Calix. If you just love him, you won't hesitate to go with him this Christmas..”
I looked away.
"You shouldn't go into that, bro. You can be content with your girlfriend. She's my cousin, so don't beat me anymore because we'll never lose."
He didn't budge on what I said. He kept staring at me hard before laughing.
"Right now, you can't change what I want winter. No matter what you say.." he walked towards my side. He grabbed the doorknob and was about to go out but he turned to me first.
Eventually he stepped closer causing me to step back.
"What is it again!" I just forgot something."I leaned against my drawer door. It stopped in front of me and did not come close to me.
It bowed. He held my chin and quickly wiped my lips with his finger.
"Your not allowed to kiss anybody else. Just me, always just me..”
He turned his back on me after he did that. He walked out and left me in disbelief at what he said and did.
I even rubbed my hair before I realized what was happening. What does that guy really want?
Is it true that he no longer has feelings for Trixie? Impossible, How can he lose his feelings and turn to me so easily?
I washed my face before getting something to wear to take a short shower. No matter how hard I tried to get Ashong out of my mind, I couldn't.
I do not like this feeling. Especially since I have a boyfriend who really loves me. Calix should be the only one, no one else.
I left the room after taking a shower. There was no one at home because they were all at the rest house near the flower farm itself. The air is fresh there, it's also windy here but it's also very sunny so it's inevitable that you'll sweat.
I walked that from home to the rest house. I caught them there talking while mom was preparing food.
Calix was also there next to erpats. But I frowned at the presence of ashong there. They put Erpats in the middle while he was saying something. The men were there and on the other side were aunt Raquel and Trixie. I approached mom who was preparing food on the table.
He looked at me before lowering his hand. "Does your stomach hurt?"
I snorted. "Not anymore, maybe I just changed from the heat earlier.."
"Are you sure? Maybe you're just hungry?"
I shook my head. "No way. I don't feel like eating.." I looked at the table where there was a lot of food prepared. Most of that is my favorite but I'm not in the mood to eat right now.
"Do you have a problem?" I looked at mom. His gaze was sure to check me, so I forced a smile before adjusting my seat "Nothing, I just don't feel like it.."
"I know you wen, even if you are tired and lazy you will have an appetite when you see your favorite food.." I just closed my lips. Mom is right, but I don't want to share what's on my mind.
I don't want him to be mad at me if I tell him I'm not sure how I feel about Calix.
I just now thought about the decision I made that I wish I had thought about carefully I held my breath.
"Do you and Calix have a problem?"
"No, ma'am. Don't pay too much attention to me, maybe I'm just really tired because it's been a long time since I worked on the farm.." mom still stared intently at me. I smiled at him before taking a plate to eat. "Calix ma and I have no problem. We are fine."
