Chapter 3

Not

“We can make it gold,” Jalius said while putting the chicken on the pan. I crossed my arms and watched him do it.

“Golden brown Jal not, gold,” i rolled my eyes and he just laugh.

“And by the way why did you asked me to teach you cook?” he asked. I just shrug, i don't even know why too.

AHH yes! We're kissing at the Library and I can't take another orgasm again so I ran out of the lib and go here and saw Jalius. So,... yeah here we are right now.

“You know what Nieves. I'm very confused,” he said very serious.

“Where?”

He smirked. “Why Khal and Raf is too insane on you. Though you’re not a virgin,” he laughed.

“Stop denying it Nieves. I saw you with Ken, a long time ago at their house. Youre doing a thing,”

My eyes rounded. WHAT THE HELL.

“Shut up Jalius! Someone might heard you! KHAL MIGHT HERE YOU!” i almost jump.

“So? I bet, he already knew that,” Jalius shrugged. Fuck. I didn't know he'll find out! Shit.

“Or, you’re not Nieves?” he smirked. I almost choke.

I didn't know what to say. I look constipated at these moment? Did he knew already?

“Don’t worry. I wont tell Khal or Rafael about this. Just tell me, who are you?” he whispered, I didn't wanna answer.

“Eco,” i introduced myself. I don't wanna tell him, but .

“Eco?” he wrinkled his forehead, looking at me like I was at fault. “You do plastic surgery, so you'd look like her?” in his low tone.

“Nope” i shook my head. “I was her twin sister. They hide me, I'm blind before,"

I saw how he can't believed what I just stated. And I can see that he won't tell it to Khal. Yes, I am that confident.

“I get it now. You're acting to be her, because?”

“That’s too personal” i shook my head. He laugh and just nodded.

“Just don’t get caught Eco, you didn't know Khal,” he said seriously. I nodded. I know that. I don’t know Khal, so I need to be careful.

“But don’t worry. I’ll help you,” he winked and finish the food he's cooking. I don't wanna relay too much on her though I have to.

I thank him before sitting on the chair he offers.

He nodded. “Eat well. Eco,” he winked and leave, I look at the chicken he cooked. This color is golden brown. And Jalius thinks this is gold. I tilted my head.

“Wheres the gold here?” i asked myself. Dumbest mind, why were you thinking about colors. When you should be worried that Jalius already knew your secret, will he really shut his mouth?

“You’re not going to eat?” the coldness on his tone. Goddamn it! I already knew who he is. I sat properly and pinch the legs of the chicken for the taste.

“Nieves. Use pork and spoon” he said firmly. I just look at him after that.

“Whats wrong with using my hands? This look dirty?” I innocently show him my hands. He just glared at me, i pouted and dropped my hands.

“Baby”

“Khal. I wanna take a walk outside,” I demanded. I suddenly remember my talk with Jalius. I should be careful.

“Shopping?” he asked. I nod.

“I wanna buy new clothes and dress, but I'll use your card," I said full of innocent. I saw how he nodded.

“Prepare then” he said and leave.

And I finally can breathe. Damn. We kissed a while ago, and Jalius already noticed that I'm fake. Things happen so fast!

“Wow. Chicken legs! My Favorite!” Inigo said and get one piece. I slap his hands and that makes the legs fell on the table. Poor chicken legs.

“You should ask permission to the owner first” i rolled my eyes.

“Is that even necessary Nieves, it's already on the table. Means everyone can eat that food."

"Did I need to put it inside the ref, to tell you it's mine?"

And why I'm arguing with him?

“Well” he walked a bit far. “Weird” he said before leaving.

I just sigh and go back on our room, I changed my clothes and go out, I ran downstairs and I saw how Khal and Raf stood up after seeing me run. Jalius is just amused watching us.

“Nieves. Don’t run! Youre not a kid anymore!” Raf said furiously. He come near me and caress my arms. “Are you fine?” he whispered, I just nodded.

“Sorry” and I pouted.

“Baby,” I heard Khal’s voice so I look at him. I ignored Raf and go near Khal.

“Let's go?” I asked while smiling, Khal smiled and nodded. He placed his hand on my waist. I saw Jalius smirking.

“Enjoy” Inigo said and way his hands on us.

“You look different, the prim and proper Nieves, already gone” Khal shook his head. “You wanna see your Dad? I mean… are you sad?"

Did I look sad? I’m happy when im with you Khal.

“Nah. I’m fine. I just wanted to try to be jolly,” i smiled. He nodded and ask me to enter his Hilux. He fixed the seatbelt and kiss my cheeks. I got shock so I slapped his arms. He just smirked and leave to go at driver's seat.

He glances and enter the frontseat. He hold at the back of my seat and his other hand is at the motor steering. He do the reverse, we went out of the ranch and I saw the beauty of Castilla. It's immaculately beautiful.

"I wanna seat at this part from Sunset to midnight. How the moon takes place, and how the Sun left, that's magical," I honestly craving for that kind of scenery. Being blind for two decades is like living without purpose. Now I finally can see, so I wanna enjoy every moment.

Wind is like love, you can't see but you can feel.

“The festival is already approaching. You want to join the pageant? I mean, you like joining the pageant right?” he said.

And we're finally out of Castilla. I just smiled and shook my head.

“Nah. I just wanna watch for now,” I smiled. I didn't even know that Nieves joined that pageant. We talk about normal things and so on.

We went to the mall and that shook me. It's huge. Very huge! It's my first time seeing buildings.

“Let's go at your favorite store,” he said. I just nodded and walk with him, maybe he knew what store Nieves likes.

We entered and I noticed how the staff bow down.

“Khal-“

“Don’t worry baby. They just know me,” he said and walk to the Cosmetics. I saw lipstick and this shade is nice so I gave it to Khal.

“Can you try this," i said and look at other lipsticks.

“You don't want to? I told you, try it. If it suited you, lets try this."

“Damn woman, this is a lipstick. For girls. Do you ever saw a man, using this kind of thing?” I saw the stress on his face, I look at his lips. Confused.

“You didn't put anything on that?” I asked and look at his eyes after. I saw his eyes twinkled. He hoarse a laugh that caught too much attention, he grabbed my hips and pulls me closer.

“Is this your first time, seeing a so-handsome-man ,like me?”

I heard the amused on his tone. I just thought he’s using some color. His lips are just too reddish.

“Its from a suck, so it looks like that. Remmember? We kissed,” he whispered. I instantly blush. Damn it!

I leave him at Cosmetics and went to the apparel. I couldn't believe he can turned the table that easy, I don't need lipstick either. I'll just ask him to suck this up to make it red.

I smiled at my thoughts.

"I want this," and pointed that dresses. Khal laugh and call the saleslady.

I try all those and Khal like it all too. I am smiling widely while we're walking on the mall.

“We should eat” he said.

I nodded and pointed on the fast food chain.

“You don't wanna eat at resto?” he asked when we're already at the MCDO

“Nah. We can eat here,” i said and pulls him. I sat on the vacant seat and put all the things we bought.

I saw Khal take our orders, I saw how other girls stare at him and drool. He really is so eye catching. I couldn't blame all the girls who watched her.

“Here,” he smiled before putting all the food we ordered. I stare at his face. His thick eyebrows and eyelashes. He havr beautiful pair of eyes, his nose and lips. With that beautiful jawline.

Is he really suited to me?

I suddenly feel insecure. I suddenly feel down.

I am not Nieves. He likes Nieves not me. He loves Nieves, not Eco. My heart hurts at that thoughts.

I should be grateful. Without this mission maybe I'm still stuck on that forest and die blind. I shouldn't meet Khal if I stay behind that woods. I need to be grateful.

It’s the first time I felt love. This is the first time. To felt love , romantically.

But I remembered, his love is not intently for me. It's for Nieves.

“Baby” he held my chin to see my face. I saw how his brows meet.

“Are you fine?”

He care, but that's for Nieves, Eco. You crap. He didn't love you. You should wake up.

You need to this carefully Eco. To see your family. To be with them, don't literally fall for that MAN. STOP THAT!

“Baby. Whats wrong tell me?”

“Nothing” I shook my head. I don't know why I'm suddenly realizing shits.

“Are you jealous? Please don’t be.” He pleased.

I look at my food, I'm not jealous of that girls. I'm jealous on my own twin. I envy her life. You loved her Khal, you love my twin.

“I said, im fine,” i said bitterly and stood up and leave McDo. I don't have rights to do this to Khal. I am the ond being ruthless, playing the rule as Nieves when I shouldn't.

I was born to be locked. I didn't deserve to live. I was blind and been hid. I was a disgrace. That's what I know... and here I am lying. Indulging the love that supposed to be for my twin.

“Nieves,” Khal asked me from the back.Thanks God we're already at the parking lot.

My tears fell. See . He thinks I'm Nieves. See. Pathetic! I AM NOT YOUR NIEVES!

“Im sorry,”

“Khal. Let go. Im not your Nieves,” I whispered.
