C5 Peeking

My biological parents died. I ended up in a Mafia stronghold full of mystery. And now I know that my dad is alive. I shouldn't tell anyone that because I know it's a big mess.

and worst, something happened to us when they said, Diego Maxima. my older brother.

"How's your study, Bloom?" Don Cleo asked.

We eat at the dining table. I'm in uniform for the entrance. I put the glass of milk down before answering.

"Fine," I answered hoarsely. My life is boring. Apart from the one time I saw Diego here at the mansion, I was only practicing shooting or maybe self-defense.

"I'll give you a black card. You can buy all you want-"

"I know Don Cleo. I had that before. I wasn't even able to go out and enjoy myself because someone was chasing us."

I heard Diego clear his throat. He doesn't like my tone when talking to Don Cleo. What is he a Dog?

Don Cleo sighed. "Okay. Just tell me what you want. The weekend is coming, maybe you want to take a vacation. Two days vacation isn't bad."

I thought about what Don Cleo said. I feel like my mind is very stressed. I want to get out of this kind of darkness.

Today was different, Diego drove me to school. I was quiet as we drove down the road. Two bodyguard cars tailing us.

"In our world. We don't trust anyone easily." he huskily said. His eyes locked on the road.

I grinned. I don't know but...I know his words very well. It's no longer like a riddle or a puzzle.

"Felix is not a stranger." I worked hard at the same time. I folded my arms and focused on the road.

"Not everyone can be trusted."

"So what's your point? That I should ignore him?"

"Yes." his right brows shut up.

I sneered. "You don't have the right to tell me what I shouldn't do. Even if you're the president of the Philippines. If I don't want to, I don't want to."

"Hm," he laughed as if what I said was funny. I just got more annoyed. "What if I'll tell our father that we fucked-"

I hit him with my bag. I was so angry that I didn't look at him anymore, especially because the corners of my eyes were getting hot.

It was also quiet as if it felt what I was feeling.

"I'm sorry." He apologizes.

When I got to the school, I left immediately and didn't look at him anymore. It was a boring morning when Felix asked me to take a lunch break.

"Where?"I snorted when I saw that he was carrying a bag that contained two lunch boxes.

I laughed. "You cooked?"

"Of course. I know you miss my recipes." He grabbed my hand and pulled me. He took me to the abandoned school building.

Instead of being scared, I felt relieved. Just like before, Felix was the only one I could talk to whenever Mom and Dad scolded me. He used to help me escape. He makes me laugh sincerely.

The building has four floors and Felix took me to the rooftop.

"Wow! Looks like a secret garden." I touched a fountain there that was old and because it was so old the lilies were dying.

"My hideout" he answered simply and placed the food on the floor in the shade. I raised my eyebrows because there was no carpet on the floor.

"Alright." he laughed. Seems to get what I mean.

He took off his formal gray t-polo shirt and dropped it on the floor. Now I can see his abs and hard shoulders.

I don't mind. I sat next to him. He brought out two dishes and some rice. There are also two mineral waters.

"I have a black card. Next time we can eat at a lovely restaurant." I suggested.

"You don't want me to cook?" One of his knees was raised and his elbow rested on it so I could see his sore arm.

"You're hot." instead I said something else. That's a matter of fact. He's hot.

He burst out laughing. "So now I'm the one you're looking for, huh?"

"Fool. You can't attract me, Felix." I grilled the steak and ate it. He started eating but kept staring at me.

"Isn't Don Cleo's son violent to you?" he suddenly asked. I won't wonder why he knows. He's a teacher slash mafia.

I was silent. I don't know what to say because that's how he is.

"He's a brute."

"How do you say that?" he drank water at the same time.

"Nothing. I'm not used to his presence."

That's where our conversation ended. We finished eating and he put his lunch box away. We will go down a flight of stairs to get down. The stairs had some dirt that caused my heel to slide. My loud shriek echoed.

Felix quickly pulled me and stuck me to the wall and pinned me there so I wouldn't fall to the bottom step. I almost fainted and I could feel my nervousness.

I grinned to push him away. We're too close. "Almost-"

I hung up on what I was going to say because he kissed me! I feel my desire to protest but there is also something in me that wants to give in. Nothings wrong. We're both single.

I gasped when he released my lips.

"This is not your first kiss right?"

Shit. How did he know?!

I couldn't answer. I can't say that Diego was my first kiss.

"Why don't you kiss me instead?" I gently touched his chest. His jaw clenched. I could see the fire in his eyes.

"Don't you dare little lady? This solution can be done for both of us. You can scream as loud as you want-"

"That's a lot. I just said kiss." I put it on him and went down first.

At least going to school isn't boring anymore. I am thankful that Felix is here.

It seemed impossible because the rain suddenly poured down. Good thing my service was waiting right at the exit of the gate. Two bodyguards were also present.

"Madam, you have Don Cleo say that there is an emergency and he went to Hongkong." said a staff member next to the driver.

I just nodded. I looked again at the rain outside. It's like I remember my old parents. What is Papa doing now? And Mom, I don't even know where she was buried.

The mansion seemed sad even more so with the rain. I also felt sad. I felt like a bird that had just been released and wanted to travel. but I know there is a limit, especially since people are not just people wherever I am now.

As soon as I entered the mansion, someone handed me a clean towel and took off my wet shoes. I'm not used to it so I cringe.

"Lady, Señorito Diego wants you to his room." said the old assistant.

I wanted to ask why but she walk away. I decided to take a shower and get dressed before going to his room.

I knew where it was so I knocked on it before opening it.

"D-Diego?"

No one answered so I went inside. Maybe still out there?

Carried by my curiosity, I entered. I heard the water running in the bathroom so I went there. I'm nervous about what I'm doing but I've seen that a few times! So what?!

I entered the open bathroom and even though the bathroom was wide, I saw his naked body in the shower. I swallowed and sweated.

I came even closer and didn't make any noise. He turned his back and looked up. I came even closer and opened the shower a little to see him fully.

His massive butt welcomed my eyes. I bit my lip.

"You can join me here. Stop peeking a look." I almost fell to my feet when I heard his voice. I shook my head in embarrassment and was about to leave when he pulled my arm into the shower.
