CHAPTER  7

—    

"Are you gonna stay here, overnight?" mom asked Kyla while we are eating, it's just the three of us here in the kitchen. 

Kyla nod, "Yes, Auntie. My parents always let me whenever I told them that I'm going here,"

"That's good, by the way, I heard you joined another competition? Demetra told me," mom said, Kyla glanced at me and giggled. 

"Yap, Auntie. I already prepared my gown, bikini and sports wear. Demetra was the one who helped me picked those clothes, do you think I can win this time, Auntie?" Kyla asked, she make a puppy eyes to mom. 

"You're still a baby, Kyla. But of course, you'll nailed it, I'm aiming for it," mom said. 

"Lsarel will be in the competition, too," I said to mom, she's close too her because of Dysthe. 

"Oh, really? That's good, aim for a better competition to give the audience a fair and good fight," she said to us, Kyla pouted to me. 

"Don't tell me you're gonna support her over me, Auntie," Kyla said, I shook my head and chuckled. 

Mom shrugged, "The both of you got my support, whoever win and lose, I'll be very proud. It's a competition after all, you can have the victory or not but still, you can be recognize and acknowledge for presenting a fair fight," she said and smiled to Kyla.

"You always what's  the right thing to say, Auntie," Kyla said and make a face. 

I chuckled at her, "You're being such a kid," I said to her and stuck my tongue.

She squints at me, "Shut up, Dems. Ahm, wait, Hexon told me that he'll be the one who is in-charge in the photos and gallery of the modelling event next month," she said and raised her brow to me playfully. 

I chortled, "Don't use that smile on me, I'm sure Hexon won't just focus on you—"

"I know but at least I'm assured I won't have an epic pictures, right?" she said smirked at me. 

"And you should thank him for that," I said as I remember that she spar on Hexon because she has an ugly shot, Hexon wasn't the one who is in-charge in fixing the gallery that time but he's one of the photographer. 

She winced, "Well, I learned my lesson," she said. 

"Almost all of the pictures that has a good shot came from him—"

"Dems, don't make me remember the past, I'm really sorry about that," she said and chuckled. 

"Did Hexon got mad when you blame him?" mom asked. 

I and Kyla at each other and shook our head, "No, Auntie. He's very patience to me since day one, he never get mad no matter what we do," Kyla said. 

I nod, "You know Hexon, mom. His patience is very unreachable," I added. 

I've been friends with Hexon since when we were young, I think eight years old. In those times that I was with him, he never shout at me nor get annoyed at me. 

"Well, that's why I like him. He's so good to be true, he's a true definition of a man." mom said and look at me with her teasing eyes. 

I sighed at her, "Stop giving me that look, mom. He's just my friend and he has girlfriend," I said. 

She shrugged, "Well, they broke up already," she said, my eyes widened as I look at her. 

How did she know that? I didn't mention it to her. 

"I talked to him last week and he told me that, that child never forget me," mommy said as she eat her favorite salad. 

I pursed my lips, "He's like your child, mommy. You should stop pairing him to me before he gets uncomfortable with it," 

"He'll say it to me if that happens, Hexon is very vocal." mommy said. 

I shook my head, mommy really likes Hexon. 

"If you say so, mom," I said and chuckled, she gave a smile. 

After we ate, we decided to go upstairs, mom went to their room while Kyla and I head to my room. 

"Omygosh! I miss this!" she exclaimed as she jumped to my bed. 

"You just slept here last month," I said as I put my stuff in my table.

"Month, Dems! It's a month," she said and widened her eyes as she looks at me. 

I laughed at her, "I'm just gonna change my clothes, wait, you don't have a clothes with you right?" I asked, it's a sudden overnight so for sure she didn't brought anything. 

She smirked at me, "I told mom to packed me some clothes, so our driver brought it in school and he also the one who convey my car at home," she said and winked at me. 

I shook my head, "You're such a girl scout, huh," I said and went to my closet, I wore a red pajama dress. I went out and decided to go to the bathroom but my eyes immediately darted at Kyla when I step outside the closet. 

She's a lingerie night dress, "What the hell, Kyla," I uttered at her. 

She laughed at me, "What's with the face, you don't expect to wear a pajama dress until now right?" she asked and raised her brow at me. 

I winced at her, "What's wrong with this, huh," I said as I frowned at her. 

She shrugged, "There's nothing wrong with that, Dems. I mean, to me there is wrong because you know I'm liberated, right? I'm not used at wearing it," she said. 

"I know, ahm, you looks good on that, do you want me to take a picture of you?" I asked. 

She giggled and nods at me multiple times, "Yup, I just bought this one last week," she uttered merrily. 

"I'll just wash my face and brush my teeth, fix your make-up first," I told her before I enter my bathroom.

Kyla was really born for modelling, everything about her screams that way. I smiled because of that, I can't wait to see her shine. 

When I went out I saw Kyla taking a selfie of her, you should angle it upward so you can look more seductive. 

She dropped her phone as she glanced at me, "I'm good at posing but I'm not good at taking pictures, why is that?" she said and frowned. 

"You can learn that," I said and sat beside her.

She winced, "I've been studying on that but nah, I'm just really thankful that you and Hexon was  there for me," she said. 

"Well, you 're our favorite model," I said and take her phone, "Sit on the couch and do the posing," I said, she grinned at me and immediately went to the couch. 

It took thirty minutes before we stopped, I'm sitting on my bed while Kyla is scanning her pictures, "Omygosh, you're really good at this, Dems! Ahh! I love it," I laughed at her. 

"Should I post this?" she asked as she show me her picture where she is lying on the bed and looking at camera with her fierce look. 

I nods at her, "Yap, you look so seductive there," I mumbled to her. 

"Thanks to you, Dems." 

I just shrugged at her and scrolled my phone, I was just scrolling at my i********: when someone tagged me, it's Kyla. 

I laughed at her, "You're really excited huh, you don't have any caption," I said as I clicked her tag post . 

She chuckled at me, "Well, I really love your shot," she said and giggled at me. 

My forehead furrowed when she tagged Kenji on her photos, "Is Kenji your boyfriend?" I asked, she glanced at me and shook her head. 

"Nope, just a fling, you know," she said and give me a knowing look. 

"It's been a month since you hangout with him, are you sure you're not getting attached to him?" I asked, I look at her intently. 

I sighed in relief when I saw her playful smile, she's not into it,  "Nope, we're just cool and we know our status, we just want to explore," she said, she' so certain at what she's saying. 

"I heard he's transferring in De La Salle?" I asked, she nods at me. 

"Yep, it's actually good because it we doesn't like seeing each other often, we just want to be lowkey fling, if that' what you called that," she uttered and scrolled her phone. 

"Just don't be attached," I said to remind her. 

She nods at me, "Of course, Hexon told me that too," 

"You're going to the Singapore after this school year?" 

She looks at me sadly, "I don't know, I don't want to leave and I'm still trying to pursue mom so I can stay here," 

"Auntie wants to stay there for good?" I asked. 

"Yap," she said and shrugged. 

"You can tell to Auntie that you'll just finish your college here and after that you can go in Singapore," I said and look at her with solemn eyes. 

She pouted at me, "I'm sorry, Dems. I don't really want to leave, I just can't disobey my parents because I'm not independent enough," she said. 

I frowned at her, "It's fine, Dems. It's actually beneficial for you if you will start your career to Singapore, they have a huge opportunity so you should take it," I told her. 

She sighed, "I know but you're here, my friends are here. I don't want to leave," she said and shrugged. 

"You have to leave in your comfort zone, Kyla. You'll eventually adapt new environment," 

She shook her head, "I still don't want to," she said. 

I nod at her, I sighed and look at my phone. I am scrolling to my i********: when I saw Jari's post, it's a phone of her with her blank face. 

She's a wearing a corporate uniform, she's in the office. Ate Jari is a quiet person, I think she attained it to her dad.

I glance at Kyla when she lie down beside me, "Hmm?" I asked. 

She shrugged,  "What exactly happened a while ago?" she asked, I furrowed my brow to her before I realized her. 

"I don't know, I was just too shocked when I heard my said that, they talked as if they're planning it a long time ago," I uttered to her. 

I sat properly and lean on the headboard, "I already noticed it, those fights every each of night and the changes in the way they communicate, I know there's something wrong," 

I look at her, "Maybe I was just shocked because I'm still not ready to hear it but honestly... I already expected it, the way I look at my mom's eyes, I know there's something in it, I can't find the glint of joy in her eyes, its full of sorrow and sadness," I shook my head and closed my eyes.

"You saw the changes in Auntie, how about Uncle?" she asked while looking at me solemnly. 

I shrugged, "He's still the same, nothing changed." I said. 

"Don't you think Uncle is just hiding his emotion?" 

I look at her and chortled, "Dad? I don't care if he's just hiding it, cause for the fact that he let mom to have the divorce is already the proof that he didn't love her enough," I said as bitterness came from my mouth. 

"Dems," she said. 

I pursed my lips, "I'm not mad at him, Kyla. I'm just hurt, and my heart is mourning for my mom, she doesn't deserve it, she doesn't deserve him." my voice shaken as I look at her. 

"Did you ever try to look at someone and say that, 'she's too good to be with that person?', I love dad so much, but somehow, he proved to me that words without action is just worthless, he kept on saying that he loves mom but I never see it, even just at once," my tears as I remember those days that mom cried after their argument. 

He'll just walked out whenever she's crying, he won't even look back to see if my mother is okay. He's just too heartless, too dumb. 

"Then why just now?" I look at Kyla when she said that, she stares at me, "Auntie managed to be with Uncle Jonathan for almost thirty years, so maybe Uncle is not just showy when his children is around," she said. 

I bit my lips and look at her unbelievably, "I hope it was like that, I'm twenty two years old, Kyla. Imagine, I exist for almost decades but not even once I saw dad being clingy to mom, he never kiss her forehead, not even her cheeks," I uttered. 

"Maybe there's a reason why they want to have a divorce," she said. 

I nod at her, "Maybe because... mom realized that love will never be enough to make it work, no matter what she do, she can't change dad," 

She smiled slightly and look at the ceiling, "It's really true, huh, that sometimes... love is not always the answer, you cannot change someone because you want to, because they will remain the person they wanted to be," she said. 

I nod at her,  "I just hope I would not experience that kind of love, it's scary to love that way and I hope I won't get a man like dad," I said and chuckled plainly. 

I sighed and lie on the bed, I cover my self in the blanket. I face Kyla as I lay down, she did the same thing. 

"I hope I'll be with someone who can embrace when I'm mad, someone who will not shout at me whenever he's mad. If that someone still exist then I will be the luckiest girl on the earth," I said as I whispered to her. 

I felt my eyes heavy, the last thing I saw is Kyla's smile at me before I fell asleep. 

I woke up at six o'clock, Kyla is still sleeping. She sleep so peacefully, I'll just wake her up before seven, she's not an early bird type of person so I know she'll just sleep again if I'll wake her up. 

I decided to take a bath when my phone rang, I'm wearing a bathrobe, I sighed before I answered it. It's him, again. 

:Hello? What can I help you?

I asked politely, mom told that being rude is not good and I should always remember it so I wouldn't be randy to anyone. 

[Come to AFB after your class, Dysthe is here, she didn't went home and her car broke down,] 

:I told you, just bring her home. Are you afraid of my parents? Face the consequence of your action, she went there for you—

[It's her decision, if she doesn't want to then no one is forcing her. It's her free will so stop blaming me for your sister's action, and besides she want... me, what can you do about it, hmm?]

My lips parted as I listened to him, is he for real? What the hell is wrong with him?

:Nothing happened between the two of—

[It's not of your business—]

:It's my business! What if you get her pregnant? My father will definitely kill you and he'll disown my sister!

I exclaimed in annoyance, I felt my heart thundered rapidly as I think of it, they didn't do it right?

:Please tell me, you didn't do it, right? 

My voice shake as I asked that, that can't be... and if they did, he should have been careful and put protection!

[We did it, don't ask—]

:Did you use condom? She's not in pills. 

[What the f**k, you're such a vulgar woman, I thought... hmm.]

I closed my eyes tightly, Dysthe... did you put yourself in so much trouble? I hope you'll regain your sanity. 

:If my sister got pregnant... be sure to be a man, I'm gonna kill you if something bad happens to her. 

I said emphatically, I don't like him. I don't like the way her speak, he looks and his aura. Everything about him screams trouble.

[Don't worry I know how to f**k carefully,]

I pursed my lips. 

:You're an asshole, where's my sister?

[She's sleeping beside me, hmm, do you want to see her?]

I closed my eyes as I remember the first time I saw them, they're making out. 

:No, just take her home safely. 

[What will be the reaction of your father if he saw me with your sister, hmm,]

My lips at what he said, damn, how could I forgot that? s**t. 

:Where are you? Tell her to fix herself when I picked her up. 

I heard him chuckled, I bit my lips as I listened to those, he sound like an evil while laughing. 

[You're really a good sister... Demetra,] 

:Don't mention my name, just text me the exact location, I'll fetch her after class. 

[Hmm,] 

I frowned and ended the call, what the f**k? 

I shook my head before I went to the bathtub, I closed my eyes as I soaked my body to the warm water, it's so calming. It's so good feel at. 

I was just relaxing when my phone rang, I opened my eyes and took to from the holder. 

I frowned when another unknown number, it's not from the guy Boone, I already memorized that number so I know it. 

I sighed before I answered it. 

:Hello? This is Demetra Homer, what can I help you?

[Hmm, so this is how you answer the call, huh,]

My lips parted as I realized who it was, Dizen? 

:Is this you? I mean Dizen? 

I heard him chuckled.

[Guess,]

He said and I frowned because of that. 

:So? Dizen, right? What do you need, hmm?

[Well, I need you,]

He said playfully, I laughed at him. 

:What a good way to start the morning, Dizen. 

[Kidding, Hexon and I will come over there right now, he just told me to come and inform you,]

:What? I mean as in now? This morning?

[Yap, your mom told him to come because she misses him so he decided to just fetch you and Kyla,]

I nod unconsciously, I sighed heavily, mom is sometimes stubborn. 

:Are you with Hexon right now? Can I talk to him?

[Ahm, no, just say it to me and I'll tell it to him,]

:No, I mean... Ahm, nevermind. I just want to apologize to him. 

I heard him chuckled. 

:What? 

I asked, why is he laughing? 

[I'm sorry, you don't have to apologize for that. I'm sure Hexon understand it and your mother is adorable and beautiful as her daughter,]

He said, I just chortled and somehow frowned at him. 

:You and your words, Dizen. By the way, see you later, I'll end now. 

[Okay, see you, bye.]

I smiled and ended the call. 

He's playful when he wants to, he just look like a snob guy but he's good. 

After I finished taking a bath, I went outside the bathroom, I saw Kyla seating on the bed while yawning and stretching. 

"You're awake, such as miracle," I said jokingly.

She rolled he eyes on me, "Shut up, Dems. It's so early to ruin my day, you fell asleep so early last night," she said and frowned at me. 

I smiled, "I'm sorry about that, by the way you better prepare now, Dizen and Hexon will fetch us," I said and went to the closet. 

"What?! Why?!" I heard her shouted. 

I shook my head, "Just because!" I replied to her. 

I wore a high-waist pants and long sleeve top, I paired it with boots. I just let my hair curly hair fell, I didn't put anything to my face. I'm more comfortable with my bare face. 

When I went outside the closet, I saw Kyla with her bathrobe. She has her own towel her, she just finished a bath, I laughed at her as she ran towards my closet, she pushes me a little. 

"Don't take too long," I said to her.

"That's impossible!" she yelled and closed the door. 

I shrugged and walked to my table, I fixed my things and put it in my bag, I also prepare my painting materials and put in on paper bags. We'll paint later so I need it. 

It took me thirty minutes before I finished but Kyla is still inside the closet, I chuckled and knock on her. 

"I told you don't take too long," I said mockingly and chortled at her. 

"Shut up! Just go downstairs, I'll follow after I'm done!" she exclaimed. 

I shook my head and went down with my bags, I put it on the living room before I enter the kitchen. My lips parted when I saw Hexon and Dizen seating on the chair, mommy is smiling while talking to them. 

I sighed and walked towards them, Hexon noticed my presence so they look at me. 

"Good morning, mom," I said and kissed her cheeks. 

I glanced at Hexon and Dizen, "Good morning," I said and smiled at them, Hexon pursed his lips and smirked, I glared at him. 

"Good morning, Dems." he said. 

I winced at him and look at Dizen, he just smirked at me, I shrugged. 

"What's with the sudden visit, Hexon?" I asked as I look at him, I'm in front of him, while mom is in the end of table where dad was supposed to seat but he's not around. 

"That's rude, Demetra. You don't ask your visitor like that," mom said. 

I pursed my lips as I look at mom, "I'm sorry, but mom, did you invite him? I told you that he's busy—"

"That's fine, Dems. I actually want to come here, I just don't have time, but now I'm free so it's fine," he said and smiled at me.

"If you say so, Hex," I uttered to him. 

"Where's Kyla?" mommy asked. 

Dizen chuckled, "Kyla takes a day to get ready, Auntie," he said. 

Mom turns at Dizen and smiled, "One of the model's trait, Dizen,"  she said and chortled. 

"I know, Auntie." he replied and smiled.

"By the way, what course did you take?" mom asked. 

"Business, I'm the who will inherit our company, my brother doesn't want to take it because he's not into it," he said. 

Mom nods at him, "That's good though, you have a big company, it's a big responsibility. Do you really want to handle it or you just have no choice?" mom asked, 

I pursed my lips as I look at Dizen, he looks hesitant to answer. 

"Mom, drop it. It's a personal question," I uttered to her, she looks at me and her eyes widened.

"Oh," she turns to Dizen, "You don't have to answer if you're not comfortable," mom said apologetically. 

Dizen glanced at me then to mom, "It's okay, Auntie. It's my own free will to handle it, I was just being pressured by my parents so I'm losing my interest a bit," he said.  

"Oh, that's good to hear... I mean it's nice that you're enjoying what you're doing, cause it's difficult to do something you do not want," mom said and glanced at Hexon. 

"Mom," I said to stop her, I think it's a sensitive topic for Hexon and Dizen. They're both just silent, mom shrugged. 

"I'm sorry," she said, I know she didn't mean to offend anyone of them. 

Hexon smiled at mom, "Are you okay, My?" he asked, my forehead wrinkle at what he asked.

"Of course, Hexon. Why did you asked?"

He shrugged and look at her, "You don't look fine to me, your eyes looks different," he said and sighed. 

I swallowed hard as I look down at what I'm eating, he noticed it too. 

Mommy chuckled, "Just tired fro working, Hex. Don't worry I'll be fine," she said and smile brightly at us, 

Our attention turns to Kyla when she enter the kitchen, she smiled widely, "Good morning, Auntie!" she said and went to mom, she kissed mom's cheeks and sat beside me.

"You look so sexy, ija," mommy said, Kyla flipped her hair and winked at mom. 

"Of course, Auntie," she replied to mom and glanced at the guys in front of her. 

"You two looks like an i***t," she said and laughed. 

I chuckled at her even mom too, "Kyla," I said and laughed. 

She shook her head, "They're so serious, come on, it's morning and you'll show me that kind of face," she said and rolled her eyes to them. 

Dizen frowned at her, "You always ruin the momentum, Kyla Xasmin," he said with sarcasm. 

"Shut up Dizen. I'm not talking to you," she said with a mocking voice. 

"You're so grumpy in the morning," Hexon said while looking at Kyla. 

She frowned at him, "I'm not, Hex. I'm in the good mood," she said while making a face. 

I shook my head and look at Hexon, "You don't have a class right now?" I asked, he has an early schedule among us.

"We don't have a class," he said. 

"Why?"  

"It's the preparation for the competition of basketball team, it's from their building," Kyla said. 

"Oh," I nod. 

"You'll going to fetch us later right?" Kyla asked. 

He nods at us, "Of course, as always," he said and beamed at us. 

I smiled, a gentleman ass.
