Episode 14

Mykel’s pov:
I’ve waited for two straight hours after everyone had gone to bed. I sneaker out of the room trying not to make a sound.
I turned on the flashlight and rushed down the stairs.
The entire house was quiet that I could hear a pin drop.
I skimmed over to the office and closed the door behind me. I equally turned on the lights so I can see better.
Its a library!
Books were around every corner and not one looked dusty. They were all clean and spotless.
I approached the desk at the extreme and picked up some files on it. I glanced through some pages and sighed.
It has nothing to do with me.
I kept searching for a while and practically gave up. There was another file under the desk and I picked it up.
I’ll read it in my room later. I need to get some sleep for tomorrow.
I successfully left the office with the file and headed upstairs. No one saw me.
That’s good.
I glanced at Rissa’s door and saw it half way closed. Why would she leave her room open?
I went towards it and looked inside, she’s no here.
Where did she wonder off to, now?
If anything happens to her, her mom would be disappointed in me.
I went back to my room to drop the files so I can begin searching for her.
To my surprise, I find her on my head cuddling one of the pillows.
What the shrek??? Why’s she here?!
I tossed the file aside and joined her on the bed.
“Rissa” I called and tapped her.
She didn’t react like she was even alive.
I touched her hair and gradually packed it backwards so it doesn’t cover her face.
“Rissa? What are you doing here?” I asker noticing she’s slightly awake.
“I had a bad dream…” She mumbled and turned to the other side.
This girl is a real piece of work.
She could have just gone to her mom’s room.
I have no choice but to spend the night here as well. I don’t wanna go back to her bedroom. ‘Ew’.
I pulled up the duvet so it’d cover the both of us. Luckily, she isn’t snoring.
That’d be the most uncomfortable thing that would happen right now.
Suddenly, she dropped her right leg on top of mine and drew closer.
“Where did you go earlier?” She asked rubbing her eyes.
I ignored her and closed my eyes too pretending I was asleep.
She raised her right leg and made it rest an inch before my thing.
“Rissa?? What the ¢rap are you doing?!” I fired and she removed her leg completely from my body.
I rolled my eyes and glanced at her. She was already sleeping and holding onto the pillow.
(Next morning)
Rissa’s pov:
I wasn’t surprised to find myself in Mykel’s room this morning. I was scared to death that I ran to his room immediately I woke up last night.
I nervously left his room to get cleaned up for the day. The maids told me mom had left already to the airport.
I don’t think I’ll miss her since I’ll be occupied tormenting Mykel.
He can stay all he wants since he doesn’t want to go but I’ll make everyone to see the criminal side of him. He’s just pretending to be quiet and calm but inside, he must have killed someone or stolen precious things.
I decided to wear pink today.
A short pink shirt and a white shirt.
This reminds me of the popular Korean girl band – blackpink.
I headed for the breakfast table with Pineapple running behind me. He really loves to eat.
We got settled and served our meals respectively. Mykel was yet to get downstairs though.
“Can you also serve Mykel’s food. He’ll be down soon” I stated and the lady nodded before leaving.
That’s the nicest thing I could do for him at least to thank him for just being there last night.
The jerk was able to control himself too.
I wonder what other guys would have done. What did mom call it again?….
Sexual molestation.
I think that’s it!
Mykel started coming down with his hands in his pocket. He had ear pods on and probably listening to music.
He sat on the table and the maid arrived with his own share of breakfast.
The maid was done and left with her stroller.
Mykel’s phone started ringing and he picked it up.
*Hello, is this Mykel from school?* An unfamiliar voice asked.
Mykel glanced at me and seemed to turn it off from speaker mode.
He continued his conversation which was so hard to understand because I don’t know what the girl on the phone said.
He said things like;
‘No, I can’t come’
‘I don’t attend parties’
‘No, you can’t come over’
‘I’m kinda busy, right now’.
I rolled my eyes.
Is he the most charming guy in the world???
After the phone call, he kept picking on his food with the fork.
What’s making him upset? Jerk.
I was finally done eating so I got up from the sit and carried bid pineapple goodbye.
“Where are you going?” Mykel asked as I ambled to the door.
“I’m taking a ride around town. What other better way to spend the Sunday morning” I replied gleefully.
“Hm. Sounds fun. Let’s go” He said taking his phone from the table.
“No…you have to ask me first” I pouted.
“Can I come along? He said rolling his eyes.
“Add the magic word” I grinned.
“Please” He added and I smiled.
“Okay…let’s go” I said and left the house while he followed behind.
