in love

Chapter 5

Via Kaye Pov

I gave Dwayne everything he needed. He removed his clothes that's why I couldn't help but look at his body which is absolutely beautiful, the abs! My gosh Via!

I blinked and looked away, I only looked back at him when he groaned. "It's just me, I'm smart." I said. At first it seemed like he didn't want to trust but he gave it to me so I treated him. "Just tell me if I'm hurting you." I said. He didn't speak. I'm just focused on what I'm doing, I don't even know how many minutes it will be before it's over.

I took a deep breath, stood up and looked at him. "Thank you." He said. I smiled. Does he also know how to say thank you?

"Can I cook something here for us to eat? What time is it?" I said.

"Do you know how to cook?"

I smiled. "Of course."

"The fridge is empty, I haven't done the grocery shopping yet. Let's just make a delivery." He says.

I nodded. "Alright. But you should tell Donya Irene that we can't go back to your hacienda now."

"I'll call–." He did not continue what he had to say because someone was calling him. I even handed him his cell phone because he was having a hard time reaching it. "Hello, what news?" He asked who he was talking to. "I want to find her, I'm doing everything but my work and other work go hand in hand. I trust my brother. I know Kendrick is looking for her." He said.

I left his room first to give him privacy. They are talking about Jellavin Javier for sure. It has been missing for a few days and as far as I know it is Dwayne's best friend.

I looked around, it was beautiful here in Dwayne's apartment, but I felt that the people living here were full of sadness. "Are you in a lot of trouble Dwayne?" I asked in a whisper. I went out, silenced. Only plants and trees are visible.

"I've delivered."

I was still shocked, Dwayne was surprising! "Why did you get up and go out? You should have stayed in the room."

"I'm okay, I'm not disabled. I can walk."

"But...." I stopped and didn't continue what I had to say. "How are you and your girlfriend doing?" I will ask.

It just looked at me seriously.

"Maxene said you have a girlfriend, how are you?"

"Is everything about me he says?" he asked.

"He has said almost everything about you." I bowed and said.

"Did he also say that what I hate are people who ask about his girlfriend or about his private life?" He asked so I looked up. His voice really raises hairs!

"S-sorry." I said softly.

"Why is my brother telling you stories about me? Of the many stories he can tell, it's me. It could be Cyrus, Kendrick, Lance, Neiji or any other guy." He said.

"Actually, I don't even know about my brother

I said, it's true. Maxene is the reason, so what now? I followed Dwayne one after the other, I'm now a stalker!

He approached me, I backed away but he grabbed my waist. He moaned softly "D-Dwayne…."

"Tell me, do you like me?" He asked that's why my eyes widened and I fell silent. "What Via?" He asked using his masculine voice.

Gosh!

I swallowed and blinked. Dwayne's face was very close to mine. Just a small movement of mine will surely touch our lips. "W-what are you s-saying?"

"You want something from me don't you?" he asked. "This is all I can tell you." Be paused. "Don't fall in love with me." He said authoritatively. When he said that, I felt a pain.

I laughed softly, I gently pushed him. "W-what are you talking about? I can't fall in love with you, you're my friend's older brother." I said, turning my back on him and sitting on the chair.

"Are you sure you don't like me?" he asked.

"Why would I?" I asked without looking at him."

"Just making sure, just remember you can't fall in love with me. You can't like me."

I looked at him. I opened my mouth to ask why but I just shut it and looked away.

"You don't know me well Via, if you think Maxene has told you everything about me, you are wrong. Maxene doesn't know a lot about me, I want to warn you Via, don't trust me. " He said seriously

Hey?

We both turned to the door because there was a knock. The food is here! I was the one who took it, Dwayne had already paid me, so I hope he will pay.

We were quiet while eating, but I couldn't eat properly because he was in front of me and I was thinking about what he said.

"Focus on the food, not me." He said.

Shocks! By the way, I just stared at him!

"S-sorry." I whispered and just ate. "W-where am I going to sleep?" I asked him after eating.

He pointed to the empty room, I didn't notice that there were two more rooms here. "It's up to you to shop where I want." It said. I chose the room closer to him. It was clean, obviously cleaned every day. Does that mean someone comes here and cleans? I was going to talk to Dwayne but he entered his room. I chose to sleep.

I woke up because of the noise I heard outside. I looked at the time, it was 8 am in the morning. Dwayne must be awake and I hear him moving. I got up and fixed myself before going out, I was surprised because I saw a lady, she was cleaning, she was also surprised to see me, her eyes were asking who I was.

"I-I'm Dwayne's friend. Is he still asleep?" I will ask.

"Is that boy here? I thought he left right away. He hasn't come out yet, maybe he's still asleep."

"His wound needs to be treated–."

"He has a wound? Again?"

Again? Does that mean it is always injured?

"Oh, did that boy get into a fight again?"

Now I know.

"I'll just go to him inside, I'll take care of it." It said.

"go ahead."

"What is your name?"

"Via Kaye."

"Are you friends with Dwayne?"

I nodded.

"You're only the second girl he's brought here "Who's the first?"

"His best friend, Jelai."

"Is that so?" I just smiled. Jelai is really lucky, he is a close friend of one Dwayne Maverick La Torre. "What's your name?"

"Just call me Ysay, aunt Ysay. Dwayne was still young and I took care of him. I was assigned to be his nanny. I'll just go into his room."

I nodded. I couldn't do anything so I continued cleaning. Well, let's say we're rich, but I'm good at housework. I don't want to rely on my helpers. I was taught that I had to stand on my own two feet, told that not because there were helpers, they were all alone.

"How's my brother?" Maxene asked me when she called me.

"He's fine." I said, stopping myself from telling him that something had happened to his brother.

"You haven't returned to the hacienda yet, where are you?"

"Hotel, we'll be back there later."

"Are you in the same room together?!"

"N-no! Why are we sharing the same room?"

"After all, you're with my brother, can you sympathize with him first? Can we take care of him for me?"

"Why?"

"Well something happened because, uhmm you know her girlfriend is now her ex girlfriend."

What?! Does that mean Dwayne is single?

"What happened to them?"

"We didn't think that his girlfriend was also brother Kendrick's girlfriend."

What the h*ck! Really?!

"So please Via, go with my brother first. You know I can talk to the dean to excuse you first."

"Maxene."

"Via please?"

"But my parents will ask questions for sure. And this coming Sunday I have to go home, you know I have to face my future husband."

"You can go home. I want to sympathize with my brother, I want to be with him, but he will definitely push me away. He doesn't want me to see him hurt."

I looked at the door of Dwayne's room, Aunt Ysay had come out, she smiled at me and said goodbye to go out to do grocery shopping.

"Fine Maxene, I'll call you later." I said.

"Okay, be careful wherever you are. Bye "Bye "Would you like to buy something for me? Maybe you need something?"

I shook my head. "I'll go with you. I just need to go home to get some clothes. I have other things at the hacienda."

"All right."

I didn't say goodbye to Dwayne, I'll be right back. I hastened to get some clothes. My parents weren't there, I just told our maids not to tell me to go home.

"Dwayne, are you hungry?" I asked Dwayne when I arrived at his apartment, because he had just left the room. "Aunt Tisay has cooked something, I'll just prepare it." I said and was about to move but he called me.

"Via, I'm not crippled so I can't take my food. I am," he said, so I let him go.

"What time are we going back to the hacienda?" I will ask.

"I got your stuff, we're not going back there."

Huh? "Wh-why?"

"I have work. But if you want to come back, I'll send you."

"No, I'm here."

He frowned.

"If it's okay with you, I'll just be here in your apartment. I can concentrate here, it's quiet, it's cozy." I said smiling. He frowned even more but he just shook his head.

I approached him. "That's okay with you, isn't it? Please go ahead, well, sorry, we're not very close, but I'm going to lose my face, please. Please."

He sighed. "You and my brother are both naughty." It said. "You have a house, why are you here?"

"Like I said, be quiet here."

"How many days will you be here?"

"As long as you stay here."

"What?"

"I'll go with you first, because that's what your youngest sister ordered. She's my best friend so I can't let her down."

He's annoyed, I can see it on his face.

"So you and your girlfriend have broken up? That's why." I stopped and bit my lip. I patted my head. Why did I say that? He stood up from where he was sitting and entered his room!

I thought Dwayne was going to jail but he came out immediately, I looked at the masking tape he handed me.

"What's this for?" I asked.

"For your mouth, you talk a lot." he said that's why I snorted. "If you want to go home first, go home first. I'm going out to go somewhere, you're not here with me."

"I'll go with you." I said quickly.

"I have work Via."

"I'm still going."

It was cheap.

"Well your wound hasn't healed yet, my brother said I'll take care of you so I'll come with you."

"Don't be stubborn Via." it said annoyed. Women are not allowed in my work."

"What is your job?" I asked curiously.

"You don't need to know any more." he says.

He really doesn't want me to go with him, so as usual, I will follow him. I waited for him to come out. I peeked out the window when he started the car and the grab taxi I took arrived just in time, when he was a little far away I followed. It's good that we were able to catch up with him, but to avoid being obvious, brother driver slowed down and let us have a car ahead of us so as not to be obvious.

His car stopped in an abandoned place. "I'm here brother." I said.

"Miss, isn't it dangerous?" asked the driver. I looked at the abandoned place, it looked scary but Dwayne was here so I wasn't nervous.

"No, thank you huh." I said. I hid in the big tree and peered at Dwayne as if waiting for someone. My heart beat faster because of the two cars that stopped in front of him. Those are men. They approached Dwayne, they were talking about something. I gasped! I covered my mouth to stop myself from getting angry because of something I saw they handed to Dwayne!

Oh my gosh! Don't tell me Dwayne uses illegal drugs? Is this the job njya apart from auto racing?

I was surprised because of the siren! The police are here. "Oh my gosh Dwayne." I whispered. I looked back at Dwayne, everything was messed up. some ran but others were caught. I heard gunshots one after another from the police so I covered my ears.

Dwayne? where is he Did he get caught? I almost stopped because someone pulled me.

"You're really stubborn Via!"

"Dwayne!"

He let me into his car and we hurriedly left "Why did you follow!" he said angrily.

"Is that your job?" I asked.

He didn't answer.

"Are you a pusher or a user?"

"Can you shut up?" he says.

Oh shit!

"I can't believe it." I exclaimed. I really can't believe it. La Torre is involved in drugs!

"This is the last time you will follow me Via. This is the last time you will see me, so if possible, take your things from my apartment and go back to yours."

I looked at him. "What?"

"I'm a dangerous person Via, you shouldn't trust me so I hope you follow what I said. This is the last time you'll see me. Don't go to the apartment, don't show me."

When he said that, I was hurt. I want to cry! When we arrived at his apartment, he went into his room and did not come out.

"No matter what you do and say I will not leave here." I said it out loud. I know he heard that. Even if I get hurt by what he says, I still won't leave. Even if he's a decent person, I still won't leave!

"What is your skin color? Why are you still here?"

I even jumped in shock because of Dwayne's scary voice. I'm still dancing and cleaning!

"Well I'm here because I didn't leave."

"Why are you still here?"

"Because I want to." I said smiling.

"Are you stubborn too? Do you know what I hate the most in a woman is someone who doesn't understand, who is stubborn and stubborn." he shouted, surprising me again.

He is angry, you can see it in his eyes. "What can I do to you so that you don't show me anymore?" he said and entered his room again.

I didn't understand what he said, I continued cleaning. Because I was tired, I decided to take a shower and sleep. I woke up at six in the evening. I left the room because I had to cook dinner. I finished cooking and knocked on Dwayne's room but no one answered so I opened it. Dwayne is not here!

I left the apartment. His car is gone! Where did he go?

"Maybe when he comes home he will have another wound." I whispered. I just let him. Maybe he still needs to be alone because he and Fevy broke up. I ate alone and went to sleep again but the next morning he was still gone.

"W-who are you?" I asked a woman in front of me now. He knocked earlier and I hastily opened it.

"I'm here to take you to you guys?"

"Huh?"

"Sir DM ordered me, he sent me here to pick you up and deliver you to your house." he said. He was so serious he didn't even smile."

"W-wait ah, where is he?"

"He is busy. He has a job. He is leaving the country now so he can't come back here."

Seriously?!

"So come and I'll take you."

I frowned. He didn't even say goodbye to me. He's sulking, but what right do I have to sulk with him? We're not really friends, well I consider him a friend but I don't know if he also considers me a friend.

"Your brother is annoying! He doesn't even say goodbye." I complained to Maxene when we met.

"Get used to it. It's not like he says goodbye every time he leaves. You'll just find out that he's in another country, and he's the one you're going to watch live tomorrow."

"Why? Does he have a race tomorrow?"

Maxene nodded.

"Where?"

"I don't know, it's far from here so you can't follow him."

"I didn't say anything to follow him."

"Whatever! Just watch tomorrow."

"Of course I'll watch what."

So the next day I watched it. I couldn't get rid of the smiles on my lips every time the camera was focused on him. He was so handsome and cool in what he was wearing that he overpowered the actress. Well, I can't say anything about the La Torre guys, they are beautiful men because for me, Dwayne is the most handsome to me.

Dwayne's win kept me strong. I jumped up and down on the bed while screaming. It's good that mommy isn't there for sure they will come up to find out what's going on with me.

I didn't expect him to do an interview so I turned it off. My day is complete especially and he won again.

Hey! What is happening to me right now? It's like I'm going crazy with him, I'm in love with Dwayne!
