C65 Chapter 64

I covered my eyes with my arm and was getting ready to take a siesta when I heard hissing. I didn't want to pay attention just in case he didn't want to stop hissing. Immediately my heart beat faster and something else entered my mind. Is that a ghost? Why is he really making you feel in the afternoon, right? Dawn?

I tried not to pay attention to it but it really didn't want to stop, so it was as simple as lifting my blanket with my foot so I could push it on myself. I'm getting hot from covering my whole body with a blanket just in case I'm really scared! There is no other child here but me, so it is very unlikely that he will trick me into pretending to be my ghost.

"Picnic!" I called the nickname that Trigger gave me. My heart skipped a beat even more when I heard Trigger's familiar voice. And then I remembered the stories my mother used to tell me about ghosts imitating the voices of people you know or it could be you yourself. Fear eats me even more!

"Nicnic! I'm Trigger!" He called me in a whisper. Shocks! By the way, the sliding window is not closed! Then the maids quarter is still in the back of the mansion and there is no one passing by.

"Come in Nicnic I don't have much time!" He said to me irritated. I was surprised. How not? My ghost, is he in the Philippines speaking English? As soon as the blanket that was wrapped around me was removed, I was instantly inspired. I was sweating profusely, especially on my forehead and it was like foam that I had lost my nervousness if it was my ghost. I immediately looked out my window and saw Trigger with his hair up again - like Sanguko - just like when we first met. Wearing a dogtag and an expensive brand of white t-shirt. He smiled at me that's why my eyes widened. Not a ghost! It's Trigger! So I immediately got out of bed to get closer to the window.

"Careful Nicnic. I'm not leaving so you don't need to rush. You might stumble again. Cry and you'll pass it on." I was disgusted by what he said but I also couldn't help but smile! Trigger and I met again.

"I thought you had gone home." I told him. He frowned but he didn't say anything so I spoke again.

"I'm glad to see you again." I said to him while smiling but I immediately felt the smile disappear from his lips and he looked at me seriously. If he can look, it's like he can see my soul. Awkward! And so that I wouldn't be recognized, I just asked him one after another.

"Why are you here?" I asked him in wonder. There was no more party and then he came back again.

"Uh... I was thinking maybe we can stroll around for a bit." And then he scratched the back of his neck. I couldn't help but smile in case he looked at me badly again so I bit my lower lip to stop my smile.

"I'm bored." He added. I nodded to what he said.

"I'm bored too. I don't have anything to play with this kid." I'm the only child here and I also heard that their son Mr. and Mrs. Steinfield. Too bad I haven't seen it yet. What does he look like? Who does he look like? But no matter which one of the couple looks like him, for sure he is handsome. They are also beautiful and handsome because Mr. and Mrs. Steinfield.

"It's just that Mama makes me sleep. She says it's to make me taller." But I don't want to sleep, I want to play with Trigger!

"So –" And before Trigger could finish what he was going to say, I immediately spoke.

"I can't go through the backdoor because Mama will see me but –"

"But?" He asked me. I looked back and forth between Trigger and the sliding window.

"Help me get out of here!" I told him and then I took pillows and stacked them so that I could stand on my feet and climb out of my window. Trigger grabbed both of my waists to get me down from the window.

I could smell his fragrant perfume again when I was close to him. He smells really good. It's a pity that he immediately put me down. I can't smell him anymore.

"Uhm. Where are we going?" I asked Trigger.

"I know I nice place here to site seeing but we need to take a taxi ride to get in there."

"Huh? We're leaving the mansion? And I don't have any money? What if the guards see us?" I asked Trigger in a panic.

"Don't worry about anything Nicnic. I'll take care of it and we'll sneak out without the guards knowing." He said to me while raising his two eyebrows. I frowned and scratched the back of my neck.

"I was a trigger grade one at the entrance. You speak English slowly, I can't understand it anymore." I told him with a slumped shoulder. He laughed and then messed with my hair.

We passed behind Trigger's mansion. I'm even scared that the guard might catch me and I'm sure that if I'm not only mad at Mom, maybe even Mr. and Mrs. Steinfield, that's why I breathed a sigh of relief when we got into a taxi and Trigger told us where we were going.

"Please take us on the radar." It took almost - err, I don't know, I didn't even know how to look at oeas. It's just that we have a long journey to get to the radar that Trigger is talking about.

"It's cold here!" I told him and then I rubbed my arms with my palm. He didn't say that we were going in the cold.
