I dialed Emerald's number, she answered it on the first ring. She's using her phone, i think?
"Milda!!" She yelled my name. I suddenly want to roll my eyes. She's really the energetic.
"No 'hi?' or 'hello?',"She just laughed. "And please, no need to shout my name cousin." I plead.
"Haha. Just teasing you. So, why did you call? Need my help?" I heard some noisy, I think utensils? Is she eating?
"What's that noise?" I asked, curiously.
"Oh, I'm eating my breakfast. How 'bout you? Did you eat already?" She's the one asking now. Where this conversation going? I want to tell her my reason, she's just so talkative.
"Yes. Uhm, can I ask you something?" I started.
"You're already asking. Duh." Then she laughed.
I scratched my forehead. This is the reason why I don't want to talk to her. She's just so playful! And very energetic.
"Are you free today?" I said direct to the point.
I heard her hum. "Yeah. Why?"
"I want to introduce you to someone… Is it okay to you?" Hesitantly, I asked.
Silence.
What is she thinking? Knowing my cousin, she just love to jump into conclusions.
"You're not planning to blind date me to someone, aren't you?"
Gosh! I knew it. She so silly. "Cut it, Emerald. He's a friend. He wants to meet you. So, are you free?"
"Ows? Just a friend? Not more than friends?" She teased.
Oh god, please.
"No. He's just a friend." I said firmly.
"I'm happy that you're having a friend now, Milda. I should really meet him! Give me a time!"
"Come here at 9. We'll wait for you. And please, don't act so silly, okay?" I plead.
"No. I don't want to compromise. Bye dear cousin!" She hung up. I just shake my head but I'm smiling.
I'm happy that Emerald's attitude towards me didn't change despite the hatred that I received from her family. My family.
I ate my breakfast before taking a bath. Yes, I lied. When I'm all dressed, I'm not shock to see a box that's laying in my bed. I could say that who's stalking me is really creepy, but I manage to get used to it. As long as he's not hurting me and harassing me in the public again.
When I opened the box, lots of pictures of mine welcome me. It's just a while ago. Where did he live? Why is he always around? There's a picture of mine that holding my phone and talking to someone, it's when I'm calling Emerald.
Is my stalker obsess with me?
I don't want to assume but why is he doing this, knowing that he can't get anything from me aside from humiliation. I'm such a trash... He should stop his crazy stalking.
I pick up his note for me.
"I CAN'T RELAX WHEN I DON'T SEE YOU BABY... I COULD TELL I'M OBSESS."
He's leaving a letter that's not a help to find him. It's frustrating me that I don't even know a single thing to him as much as he do to me. I know that he know so much about now.
I don't even know what I did for him to stalk me. Knowing that someone is talking you is creepy but someone's obsess with you? It's nerve wrecking! I can't seem to think rightfully.
I look around the house, looking for something that he may left. I hoped that he didn't put any camera inside my apartment. Man, that will surely kill me.
I'm so lost with my thoughts that I literally jumped when I heard my phone ringing.
It's Bullet. We exchanged numbers so that we could easily carved up or connect hassle free.
"Hi!" I greeted first. I could tell that I'm really comfortable with him now.
I heard his soft chuckle that it seem not fair to his hard and sexy look. Gosh, where did it came from, Milda? You're turning into a wanton woman!
"Hi too, goddess Milda. Are you ready?"
I bit my lips and look at myself in the mirror. This is my first time going out with him, of course with my cousin. I want to look better, I don't want to be maid look here when my cousin arrive.
I just wore a string strap black dress that is bellow the knee. It didn't show much of my skin aside from my shoulders and arms. I'll just my cardigan. Well, I'm dress is humor the temperature here in the Philippines. It's really hot here not you would still enjoy.
I can't hide my excitement because I myself, know that I'm dying to experience it too with someone aside from my cousin, and it happens that I'm with Bullet so it doubled my happiness.
Bullet is god gift for me. Being his friend, it's heaven. I know we're just catching some happenings in our life because of what happened. Maybe some other time, when I know that our friendship is stronger than a rock,I'll ask him about his attitude, or whatever wrong with him. I know something wrong.
"Hey? Still there? Milda?" Ow, I swim in my own thoughts that I forgot that I'm talking to Bullet.
"Yes. Sorry for that. Um anyway, you on your way here?" I asked.
"Yeah. Just a few more house and I'm in you apartment. Wait me okay?" I laughed.
"Of course. Where could we ride if we don't wait you? Silly of you Bullet."
"So happy, huh? Is your cousin already there?" He asked same someone knock on my door. I assumed that it's Emerald.
I bid my goodbye to Bullet and made my way to the door. I'm right that it's Emerald. She's so beautiful with her sexy dress.
I looked at the both of them awkwardly. I don't know how to introduce themselves! I'm not that kind of person.
But, how can we use Emerald's super energetic personality if she's not going to use it?
I'm so thankful that she's not like me, that will not talk even it's very awkward.
Emerald show her bright smile and bubbly waved at Bullet who's just seriously looking at her. "Hi! You must be the friend that Milda's talking about. I'm Emerald, her cousin, and you are?" She extended her arms to Bullet.
It took him seconds to accept it. They shake hands same as Bullet introduce his self. "Bullet Davids. Pleasure to meet you."
I thought that it will go that smoothly when Emerald squealed. "I'm right! You're the famous Bullet Davids! You're a photographer too right?! OMG!" and she fan herself. I massage my head.
"Thanks for knowing me, but, I'm just Bullet Davids. Simple Bullet." He smiled at my cousin.
Am I just a wind here? Hello? I'm still here.
I'm about to talk when Bullet envelope his arms in my waist. Emerald's busy squealing so she didn't notice.
I felt his lips in my left ear. "That's a sinful peace of clothes, My Goddess."
I felt the shiver in my spine that gave me chills to the core. I gasp. "I want to look better. I don't to address as maid when we go." I answered.
He tsked. "Still. You can wear turtle neck, that will look better and appealing to you."
My eyes widen. "What? Bullet, we're here at the Philippines. Wearing turtle neck would be the death of me."
He chuckled. "Silly. I'm not going to let you die."
He didn't convinced me enough to change my clothes, because this is for him. I don't know why, but I want to make better for him, not just for others, but for him too.
I want to be the best for him, I don't know what kind of best, maybe friendship? 'Cause this is the first time that I have a friend aside from my cousin who accepted me for who I am.
We roamed around the place. I could say that we are having a road trip. We stopped at some beautiful place to take a picture and of course buy some foods. We didn't eat in fast food, all we're eating is at the side road only.
Street foods is really the best here in n the Philippines. Maybe, some other country look at Filipinos so low because, they know is for being a gold digger, a skilled robber? We don't know about Filipinos. I could say and I'm proud to say that we Filipinos are the sweetest you could ever met. The funniest you wouldn't want to miss, and the most caring you want to keep.
They just know us because of our wrong doings but when you tried to live here, you would understand that this is a country full of respect. Even when you heard a cuss here, they just laugh at you because Filipinos are born to be funny,to gave happiness in others.
It's really right that "IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES."
As long as we don't want to end the day, but we know that everything has an ending. I'm so tired that I immediately fall asleep without changing my clothes. I sleepily open my eyes when I felt that someone's caressing my face. Maybe my cousin. I tried to ignored it and just closed my eyes when I remembered that we send home Emerald first before me.
I was about to stand when I can't move my body, someone's on top of me! I screamed and that's when I realized that I can't talk properly, I have a muzzle on my mouth!
"Buwuuut! Elllp!" (Bullet! Help!)
I struggled my body but he firmly hold my waist to. He started to kiss my forehead down to my temple. His lips lasted on my temple for ten seconds. He's not hurting me but he is raping me! I don't know if I should be thankful that he didn't do anything that hurt me.
"My baby..." He breath in my ear. It sent chills in my body. I can feel that I'm trembling because of fear. "Mine..."
I can't see anything because the lights off. He kiss my cheeks to my nose. I thought he would kiss me in my lips too but his lips travel down to my neck and he suck a skin on it. As long as UK want to be strong I can't stop my tears to fall.
Why am I always alone when he's around? I thought he wouldn't do it again, but it's more scary than the last time. How can he manage to come inside my house. I can clearly remember that I lock all the possible door.
I sighed deeply as in pray to god that let me wake up from this nightmare. This is a total nightmare!
His kisses focused on my neck. It's a hundred percent sure that it will leave a mark! He kissed my whole neck!
I was about to kick him when he get off when I smell something… something familiar from me. I know, I smelled this scent before.
"Stop going around with him, baby. Or else, he would suffer." I'm sure that he just embarked on my apartment just to give me a warning and to put a possession on me. He left a lot of Mark in my neck to shout his possessiveness! He's literally insane!
I remembered the scent and I don't want to accept it.
Why? Why did he do this? Is he really obsessed with me?
"Mr. C-Carson... Scent…" I said.
I can feel that the man stops. But why is his voice different? It's much sexier and husky. And I don't care! He is harassing me!
"I-I will Sue you!" And I cried. He left without saying something, without confirming my accusations, but silent means yes right?
I don't know how to treat him tomorrow. But I thing is sure, I'll fire my resignation letter and I'll tell it to Bullet… or not.
What if he don't believe me? That will be the death of me.
I will not tell him. It's okay that he don't know a thing. My stalker's obsess with me, so better to give Bullet a little space. I don't want to be in danger. He's so precious to me.
