“Excuse me? Is Lance awake?” someone answered by the intercom and I got down to see who it was
Mr. Frost is currently sleeping, but I can wake him up for you
“That would be great “ it was a man around 40’s wearing a black suit who looks clean and neat
May I know your name, before you could enter? I have doubts in saying my name, maybe lance would not let me in, but this guy, I never seen him before so maybe it’s fine
“Crystal Fernandez” I smiled as I gave him my name, my smile slowly fades when he looked at me and looks at the paper he’s holding, confused. I know that look
I’m sorry, but it says in the lists that you don’t have any appointments on Mr. Lance, also it’s stated here that you are not allowed to come in, unless...
“Unless what?” he sighed and puts down the paper and looked at me with an emotionless face. He opened his mouth and cut him off to not continue by waving my hand into the intercom.
“You know what? Never mind, tell him to sleep peacefully” the intercom went off, I dialed his phone but he cancels it. “I guess its plan B then”
I ran into the back of the mansion’s gate and looks for a spot to where to climb, I held on the metal rods and climbed carefully on the high gates and successfully made it inside. I was greeted by a green grass on their backyard, I looked around and saw a sign says keeping the grass off, I ran into the right side which I saw a wide balcony that has it luxury couch It’s a bit high and climbing it would be okay but where can I find rope to tie and destroy that balcony of his.
"Lance, Lance! Wake up! big head. We're going to be late" there was still silence even I shouted loudly on his balcony which is that is his room upstairs, the glass doors are open that’s why I shouted him from here.
“Lance!” I threw some stones, to wake him up until I threw a large stone and made a loud noise of a broken glass, I saw some shadow moving inside and saw a guy came out from the balcony, he’s wearing his pissed off face and a robe with his messy hair and squinting his eyes looking at me down here.
“Did you just break, my glass door?” I quickly hid the stone and shook my head as a response. “Did you just climbed the gates again?!”
“Looks like you forgot something and we are late already!” I shouted louder at him “How did he know I climbed their gate?”
“What do you mean we’re late?” he said scratching his head “It’s still early, you broke my glass door”
“Excuse me, look at your watch please? In case you’ll remember something” he looked at his watch “It’s already ten minutes until twelve noon, you sleepy head!!” he immediately ran and came down in minutes, wearing his clothes while running towards his car and followed him, he was very fast, I got unto his car and saw him wearing his robe.
“Why did you not call me earlier? We are thirty minutes late now”
“Excuse me what? can you say that again?” he continues preparing the car and starts the engine glaring at me.
“I got here, called you and you cancelled it. And this butler of yours said it’s in the lists that I cannot get inside, you and Aldren are really best friends,” he stared at me and I stare him back and I gave him a glare
* * *
“What are you doing?" I looked at him confused while he is staring at me like he’s disgusted, and I glared at him like giving him a telepathic message. He’s at the driver’s seat sitting down while opening the car door. We’re in the parking lot waiting for a call, but while waiting I’m in the side of car’s trunk outside Lance’s car doing my routine that I didn’t had time to make it at my house
“I’m doing my make up while waiting, isn’t it obvious?”
“Stop glaring at me, you look like a racoon”
“Say’s the guy who wore a robe, shirt, a short and a sleeping shoes” he quickly got up and got my eyeliner and embraces his arm on my neck but not tight and tries to ruin my makeup, he suddenly stopped and answered his phone that is ringing and he looked at me and turned off the phone. “What?!”
“Let’s go” he walked past by me, I grabbed my mirror until a sudden pat of powder landed on my face, I heard Lance’s laugh running away leaving me
“Is she here now?”
“I don’t know, just look around” A lot of people came, it’s difficult to look for it. Especially if I don’t know how she looked like. I nervous, yet excited seeing her now, I cannot wait.
Where is she?
“Hey, are you sure that it’s today? I cannot see her” Lance asked me and I looked at him seeing his poker face looking at me
“What are you talking about? You’re the one who talked to them right? And you said they are coming; how come you are not sure?”
“I’m just asking just to make sure, jeez” he looked right into his phone looking for proof that it’s today,
“Why are you looking on your phone? You’re not sure, aren’t you” I dropped my mouth open and I crossed my arms looking at him in disbelief
“Today is the most important day to me and you know that, how come you are not sure that it’s today that they’re arriving?” I said and let out a fake crying
“Calm down, calm down, okay? you’re tearing up now” he said rolling his eyes out
“Uh, it looks like I disturb you guys” we both turned our gaze into a girl standing a meter beside us and she is smiling wide looking at us, holding his suitcase and a small bag pack and passports on her hand. Her long light chestnut hair is flowing together as the wind blows, he has the same height but, and gave me a wide smile
“Excuse me, who are you?” Lance asked her politely
“Do you know her? Are you cheating on Julien?” I mouthed
“Are you crazy?” He mouthed back and looked at her when we heard her laughed a little
“You guys are still funny as ever”
“Do you? By any chance know us?” I asked.
“It’s me, Amanda”
