Trixie

After I took a bath I quickly wear my dress. It was black dress and I wear flat sandals and pearl earrings since it was evening birthday celebration. Christoph's brother is cute. He has attractive eyes. I heard a knocked on the door and since Claire was in the rest room I opened it. It was Christoph.

Trixie: "Come in."

Christoph: "Miracles do happen. You look good to that dress."

Trixie: "This is an evening celebration and besides based on invitation girls MUST wear a dress that's why I have no choice but to wear this. But it's okay for me."

Christoph: "You're tall but I'm taller than you."

It was true. He is 6'1" inches tall while I was only 5'7" inches tall.

Christoph: "How's the place?"

Trixie: "Your brother is really cute. He has those eyes I like from a guy."

Christoph: "What I'm asking is the resort not about my brother.. Is he your crush??"

Is he angry? What was wrong with I said?

Trixie: "Would I call it crush? Maybe..."

He looked at me seriously.

Christoph: "You're not a child anymore to say anything you want. People would misinterpret you."

Trixie: "Are you angry at me? I really don't know if I could call it a crush that's why I answered you 'maybe'. Is there anything wrong?"

He run his fingers through his hair.

Christoph: "Ahhh... My eyes are attractive than him."

Trixie: "I don't care. I like his eyes no matter what you say. Blahhh..."

What was his problem? Claire went out of the bathroom. She already put makeup on her face. Christoph's friends came rushing into our room.

Sam: "Trixie.."

Trixie: "Yeah?"

Sam: "Mike told that you're very pretty and sexy."

So? What am I supposed to say? I felt so awkward. He was always quiet but I think it's not his real personality. Or am I too judgemental? I just smiled at him.

Christoph: "Let's go guys. The party is about to start."

I will give a wrist watch to his brother. The celebration was near the pool. We went there together. His brother is 19 years old now. He was older than me.

A woman came to our place exactly to where Christoph was sitting and kissed him on the lips. Who's this woman? His girlfriend? She was not thinking if there were looking at them rather her. She looked at me furiously. Do I need to be scared? Of course not! By the way, I was sitting next to Christoph. Christoph, his friends and I were sharing on one table.

Christoph: "Damn it Macey! Stop that craziness of yours!"

Trixie: "Christoph lower down your voice. It's your brother's birthday celebration."

The girl looked at me again, but this time I could say there were intensifying fire in her eyes.

Macey: "Who is she?"

Christoph: "Who?"

Macey: "Obviously the girl sitting next to you!"

Christoph held my left hand and stood.

Christoph: "She is my girlfriend. So please stop ruining my life. Our life!"

My eyes widened. Did he brought me here just to use as his girlfriend? He was such a stupidest person I've known! He invited me just to tell his ex-girlfriend that I'm his new girlfriend. WTF!!

Macey: "Is that real? b***h answer me! f**k this night!"

Trixie: "N-no that was not true. We are just.. friends."

Christoph: "She's my girlfriend actually our relationship becomes official an hour ago. Maybe she forgot."

She suddenly left us. After I've given my gift to his brother I left them and went through the restroom. I felt so awkward. I retouched and then someone came out from one of the cubicles in rest room. It was Christoph's ex. She went to the mirror where I was standing.

Macey: "You are a slut!"

I didn't react to what she'd said. She slapped my cheeks.

Macey: "You stole my boyfriend!"

Trixie: "Are you done?"

I was so mad at her but I didn't hurt her back because it wouldn't make me feel better if I do it. She's crazy over him. I felt so weak that moment. I left her in the restroom looking at her reflections on the mirror. I go straight to our room and I didn't get back there. I thought of attending this party could help me to relieve the stressed I have in work. Hours and hours had passed, my headache gets worsts.

Christoph

Hours had passed but she was not yet coming back until the party was over.

Sam: "Where's Trixie? How would you explain that to his brother?"

Christoph: "Shut up! I didn't meant that."

Sam: "Oh come on!"

After having some drinks I escorted Claire to their room. I asked her if Trix was already in the room the moment we reached the room.

Claire: "I guess she's already sleeping because her sandals are here."

As I was sure she's sleeping I says good night to Claire and left.

Trix used to sleep. Jake and our friends headed to their room. While I was walking I've seen Macey crying.

Macey: "Your girlfriend."

Christoph: "What? What do you want this time Macey?"

Macey: "She slapped me. We've seen each other in the restroom while the party was on going and then she slapped me. Then she left me after what she did."

Christoph: "Did you says anything wrong to her?"

Macey: "I wished her to become happy being with you but she slapped me in return."

I know why she didn't go back to the party. What was her problem to slap Macey? I take Macey to her room. I went to my room as well to sleep.

It was already nine in the morning when I woke up. I take a bath then headed to Trix's room because I really need to know why she hurt Macey.

Claire: "Good morning!"

Christoph: "Good morning! Where is Trix?"

Claire: "She's still in her room.."

Christoph: "Ah okay"

It was 12 noon but I didn't see her yet. Is she hiding because of what she had done to Macey? After having lunch, I went to my room and after an hour I fell asleep. Five o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up. At last, I saw Trix sitting on the bench. I went to her place. She was listening on her phone. I take off her earphone. She was shocked.

Trixie: "What was your problem?"

Christoph: "Tell me what's your problem!"

Trixie: "It's not funny Christoph."

Christoph: "Who says I was joking?! Don't act innocently. Why did you hurt her?!"

I asked her in a high tone. She was shocked.

Trixie: "I- I didn't hurt anyone."

I held her shoulders and forced her to stand.

Christoph: "Why did you slapped Macey?"

Trixie: "I- I didn't. You're... hurting me... Christoph."

Christoph: "Yes, you did. I know you Trixie. You're violent and sadist."

I shouted and she was just looking at me. She has an angelic face but there's an evil hiding inside of her.

Trixie: "Please... get off your hands."

Someone held back my arms. It was Jan.

Jan: "Christoph stop it! You're hurting her."

Christoph: "Why did I even invited you here? Macey didn't hurt you."

I shouted and she was not even speaking.

Jan: "Are you okay?"

Trixie: "I- I'm f-fine. Thank y-you. I need to go."

Jan: "I'll take you to your room"

Trixie: "N-no I' I'm fine."

Trix left then Jan talked to me seriously.

Jan: "Why did you hurt her?"

Christoph: "She slapped Macey."

Jan: "Are you sure? Why did you even told her as if you are regretting for inviting her? You're believing Macey? Didn't you remember how she betrayed you?"

What if Jan was right? How did I said all those words and hurt Trix? But, Macey won't cry like that kung di sya nasaktan.

I went to my room to think about I did. I was stupid for hurting her. I pulled the strands of my hair in frustrations. Someone knocked on the door. It was Jake.

He was breathing heavily.

Christoph: "What's happening?"

Claire: "Trixie passed out in the restroom and she was bleeding."

What does it mean bleeding? Her head? f**k! I went to her room to see if she's getting better. I brought her to the clinic the moment I've seen her lips gets pale. What if it was my fault? The doctor called me.

Christop: "Is she okay, Doc?"

Doc: "Take good care of her. She's one week sick. Her white blood cell is higher than her red blood cells so you have to buy vitamins. Okay?"

Christoph: "Thank you Doc."

Doc: "Is she your girlfriend? You are very lucky, Iho."

The doctor told that she was always in the foundation every weekends.

Maybe Jan was right! The doctor know many things about her. What the hell I did to her?!

Christoph: "Nope."

Doctor: "I thought she has a boyfriend now."

Claire came inside the clinic.

Claire: "Is she okay?"

Christoph: "She's one week sick."

Trixie: "Why am I here?"

Claire: "Why didn't you tell me you feel something wrong?"

I felt so ashamed for hurting her. I was just sitting on the other side.

Trixie: "I'm fine. Besides, it wouldn't kill me. I will go home later."

Claire: "What happened to you earlier? Did you cry earlier?"

Trixie: "Of course not. Why would I cry?"

She's too secretive about her. Why didn't I let her explain? She hated me so much because of what I've done to her.
