C12 Courting me

Ask for the moon 11

I hate getting up from lying down because of a headache so I don't want to drink, e. It's so special this morning!

Unknown Number:

Good morning.

Unknown Number:

Drink more water.

Unknown Number:

What time is your shift tomorrow? Today is your day off, right? So, Stay at home and take a rest, Huh?

Unknown Number:

Baby...

Unknown Number:

Text me back if you're already awake.

I just shook my head when I realized who it was and left the cellphone on the bed.

I don't know if he is really crazy? Even if I wanted to believe what he was saying, I didn't because I knew he loved someone else more. If it's true that the first time we met I grabbed his attention, well, I was only there until I grabbed his attention.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to our house first. Mama is sending me to visit. It's too far from here so I might spend the night," Mawi said goodbye as he downed the water he drank. "

I nodded "Where is Angel?" I asked and looked around.

"He bought groceries and didn't want to wake you up because he said he's done it again. He just left." He didn't want to answer.

"Alright, be careful," I warned before sitting on the sofa.

He blinked "As if it's not," He answered calmly and took the sling bag that was on the sofa.

Sometimes I don't know if it's the girl's attitude or what, sometimes it's just noise, sometimes it's loud. Red days?

"Okay," I answered gently.

I was once again gripped by this sense that suddenly throbbed. Is there a little heart here or what? I can feel it!

"Alright, I'm leaving! Lock the door when I leave,"

I just nodded, I didn't feel like plopping down on the sofa so he started working again before finally leaving.

I looked up at the white ceiling.

I took a deep breath.

After a few minutes in a daze, I got up to drink some cold water.

"Wait a minute!" I shouted in irritation when I heard a series of knocks on the door.

"What are you doing here?" I asked irritated.

"You're already awake why didn't you reply?" he asked.

I chuckled, "Hey, if you can ask me something like that, it's like we're in a relationship, right? Can you stop acting like my boyfriend," I said annoyed.

The words I said to him were like a slap.

I sighed.

He sighed.

I was about to close the door but suddenly he stopped me.

"Then can we flirt?" He looked directly at the question.

Yes!

I shook my head "No," I answered without emotion.

"Why?" He pouted.

He stood up straight and I just realized that he was holding a bouquet of flowers.

"You still love your ex, isn't that reason enough to reject you?" I raised my eyebrows in question.

He sighed "Give me a chance, since I took you to Ben's birthday...You never let Akia think about me because you conquered everything,"

I dream! Here again! His flowery words.

I looked closely into his pleading eyes.

"I don't care," I said softly.

I immediately averted his gaze that he was trying to catch.

"Here," he said and handed over the flower.

I sighed, "There's no need for that because I won't let someone who loves someone else go astray," I said seriously before turning away.

I didn't close the door because I didn't want to be rude. Its up to him if he comes in to force me or not.

"I know it's too fast but because I'm really going crazy knowing that at any time there will be a man who can get ahead of me and get your attention. Give me a chance,"

I raised a brow " Oh? You just don't want to be ahead? You don't want your ego to be stepped on? Is that what you want to convey?" I crossed an arm over my chest.

You shook your head "No, Ofcourse. I mean I don't want to because I'll go crazy,"

He straightened up, I was sitting here on the sofa and he tried to reach out the flower he was carrying. I let out a deep breath before taking a deep breath. I feel guilty if I don't take it. Too rude.

He shrugged "I'm going crazy, if I think that you smile at someone else the way I want you to smile at me. I'm going crazy, if I think that I'm not the one who will make you smile,"

"Don't be a clown," I told him.

"Baby..." he called me pleadingly.

I adjusted my sitting position and struggled because of his calling.

"Drop that word baby , don't call me that," I said annoyed.

"Alright... Selene, Please give me a chance," She begged.

I almost panicked when he sat next to me. It was as if cold water had been poured on him because of the shock.

He chuckled "Do you hate me that much?" He asked sadly.

I didn't answer, He now looked away and kept his mouth shut.

"Have you eaten breakfast?" He didn't want to ask.

I immediately shook my head a bit early but I was really not in the mood to have breakfast knowing that I would still be cooking for myself.

"Sit down, I'll cook you what do you want for breakfast?" He asked, nodding his head.

"Huh? Never mind, it's okay," I refused.

It's a shame! Whore!

"Just tell me, what do you want?" He asked seriously and stood up.

You... it's not allowed... it's not possible... because I don't want to get hurt.

"Not anymore," I refused again.

He sighed and looked at the ceiling.

"Selene, please tell me. You need to eat," He insisted.

He walked towards the kitchen, it's not that big of an apartment, so even though I was in the living room, I could see the kitchen.

"It's up to you," I surrendered.

I went up to the room and handed over my cell phone on the bed.

Unknown Number:

Did you already eat breakfast?

Unknown Number:

Baby, Wake up, You need to eat breakfast.

Unknown Number:

Otw, I'm going to see you there at your apartment. I miss you, I really do.

I was about to put down my phone to vibrate.

From: Relydeah just strong

Hey! You're stupid, when you're online call me on messenger. More work, stay away from Mader haha.

I had a dream because of the message my sister read. Just wow.

To: Relydeah is just strong

HAHHAHAHAHA it's like you just cried laughing huh? Seriously? Haha? Yes, I'll call soon.

I took my laptop and went downstairs with my cellphone as soon as I left the room.

I saw Cyrus with his back turned and was busy cooking, he didn't know I was here in the living room.

"What?" I was irritated with my sister.

I'm not rude to him, we just used to be like this. It's like becoming best friends at the same time, not because of our age gap.

She laughed "What? Didn't you have a good morning sister?"

"Wow, E? What happened earlier? You're so stupid? Didn't you at least have a good morning brother?" I returned to him.

He just blinked causing me to laugh a little. I could even see Cyrus glancing at me in my peripheral view so I turned to him.

I immediately raised my eyebrows when he smiled at me and signaled me not to pay attention to him because he was just going to cook.

"You're really stupid, you're stupid, you're still working, someone saw you at the hotel when you were at the front desk. You're mad at Mama for saying 'don't work, you'll be reprimanded,'" he said threateningly.

"When Mama heard you curse, you also lie," I returned to her.

She chuckled "Ma! Pa!" He called and turned around. " Yoreh has called!" He shouted.

Cyrus looked again because of his sister's shouting. Well, he's not deaf enough not to hear.

"You're ugly," I joked.

He looked at me and I saw Mama and Papa peeping on the screen.

"How many times have I told you not to work? Is your brain upside down? As long as we live, we will provide for your needs. I don't want you to be bothered with your studies just because of money. So stop and resign from your job. you because I'm not happy," Mama yelled at me.

I bit my lower lips to stop speaking. I might go home to Cavite in no time.

"Claire, you're great if you can talk. That's what you'll open up to our son right away," Papa said. "How are you doing there in Qatar, Son?" Dad's joke.

Cyrus laughed a little because of what Papa said I laughed too but stopped when I realized that they were frowning on the other screen.

"Why does it look like a man?" Ate said with a sly smile on her lips.

"Who is that?" Mom asked.

"Do you have a boyfriend again son?" Papa is a serious question.

I shook my head, They weren't strict when we were even when my ex Josh, I introduced him to them, I'm still proud. I feel nauseous just thinking about it.

"Elio," I called him.

He still gaped and pointed to himself so I nodded. He immediately came and sat next to me.

I bet more on Elio.

"Hello, My name is Cyrus Elio and Yoreh Selene suitor," He proudly said.

I bit my lower lip which could bleed anytime.

"Oh," Mama mumbled and still covered her mouth.

"You're a handsome boy," she praised Yoreh, "Yoreh, you're hard to get, answer that even if it's not obvious that you'll be punished," Mama joked.

I pouted and rolled my eyes.

"Naks," Ate continued.

"Why are you wearing an apron? Are you cooking for my son?" Papa asked calmly.

I immediately looked at the person next to me who was all smiles and nods. Great, If this is what I can glimpse in the morning. I hope it's always morning.

"Yes," Cyrus replied with a smile.

Papa nodded in agreement.

"Are you serious about our daughter? Because if not, don't continue the courtship," Papa warned.

"Maybe you will join me," Ate threatened.

I'm so touched!

"Are you on good terms?" Mom asked curiously.

I immediately shook my head.

"Why not?" Sister asked.

Wow, it turns out that he knows English as well.

Cyrus turned to me seriously with a tired expression. The hell I care.

"He's still in love with his ex," I said firmly.

He sighed and massaged his temple, glancing at me.

"Baby..." he called me softly.

I can see their taste on the screen hearing the pleading voice of Cyrus. I just blinked to see that Mom and sister were even more excited than me.

"If I still loved him, I would have been at the airport right now and stopped him from leaving, but look, I'm here," He softly explained.

"As if that will stop you," I said without emotion and stared.

"What time are you coming home, Cyrus?" Mama asked a different question.

They seem to know where our conversation is going.

He smiled and looked at the screen "I'm with your daughter when she's with me, I'm fine like I'm already home,"
