C72 Chapter 71

It's really good that Trigger hugged me so I didn't end up kneeling in front of him. What are you doing to me Trigger? You make me weak. "You don't look okay baby..." Trigger said softly to me and I felt like I was going deaf with... excitement. Why did he call me 'baby', isn't it just for flirting? We're not together yet but he loves me. I just closed my eyes tightly and tried to gather strength so that I could get out of Trigger's embrace and we could go home but I was stopped when I suddenly lifted into the air.

"TIGGER!" And then I hugged her neck very tightly for fear that I might fall. He just laughed and started to leave the garden.

"Put me down... maybe I can see you." And maybe what else they think. I told him before we finally got out of the garden but here he is again and acting as if no one is listening.

"Trigger." Emphasis when calling his name this time, he stopped walking and then he looked at me. I immediately smelled his minty breath that made me dizzy. I feel like I'm going crazy because of Trigger.

"Let me take care of you." He said to me seriously and then he continued walking again, I couldn't do anything but lean my face against Trigger's chest where I could hear his strong heartbeat. It's like my heart is beating too. It wasn't until I heard the loud music from inside the hall again that I raised my head a bit to see the surroundings and I realized that the promenade was almost ending.

The lights were off and my schoolmates were holding lit candles while singing the closing song for the promenade. Friend of mine. I don't know why but I suddenly looked at Trigger and it was as if the lyrics related to what I was feeling right now with what he told me earlier.

"Son." I was immediately surprised when Mama called me from behind me. I don't know how I can hide the one piece of rose I got from Trigger from him. Sigh. No matter how much I avoid him, it's still useless, we live in the same house, so whether I want to or not, he will fall in love with me and he will fall in love with me.

In the past two weeks I have repeatedly told him that he can't like it. First, if I thought about Mama, she would definitely not like it if she found out that one of our Bosses was cheating on me. Trigger's parents are second, it's a shame! After what Mama and I helped us, I don't want them to tell me that this is what I will repay them after everything.

But Trigger is Trigger. What he wants he gets it. But I'm not something he can get just like that. I immediately stuck the rose inside the notebook and then I faced Mama, she was right behind me. I immediately felt sweat beading on my forehead.

"Oh why do you think you saw a ghost?" Mom asked me in surprise. You tried so hard to smile and then I slowly shook my head.

"You came all of a sudden, Ma." I told him awkwardly. Mama shook her head and then sat next to me on the bed.

"You're reviewing, son." I nodded.

"Just finished Ma." But I don't understand what I reviewed. Nothing came to my mind from what I read. I can not remember anything! I've reached the point in life when I want to slap Trigger and his antics! There are so many people who can really like me!

Couldn't that fool just trip me up?! Annoyance immediately enveloped my entire system. That's the notebook that I stuck with the rose that Trigger gave me as I sat down.

"By the way, I brought your mirenda, son." Mama told me and then she got up from sitting next to me and took me somewhere. He handed me the tray with just my juice and then cake. I frowned and before I could ask, Mama told me that –

"Sir Trigger gives that son." Mama said while also frowning.

"I even refused because they ordered it, but he insisted until I had no choice." My heart beat faster at what Mama said. I can also feel my whole face heating up because of... because of the thrill. Oh my! When I looked at Mama again, she was staring at me so I immediately looked away.

"S-okay Ma, leave it alone I'll eat later I'll review it again. I'm not hungry yet." "Confess to me Angeline." Mama told me seriously which made me nervous.

"What... is it Ma?" I tried to make myself normal even though I could already feel my heart breaking from the fear that Trigger would find out that he belonged to us.

Oh! Wait - we don't have Trigger! That's the only one doing stupid things that's why I'm doing this! He stared at me for a while until he sighed and then he patted my shoulder and left the room. I was left floating, I only realized when my phone vibrated inside my shorts. I immediately took it out of my pocket and then read the message.

From: Trigger

Did you like the cake? I know how much you love ube cakes. Enjoy. And you're not satisfied yet, you put a heart emoji at the end of his text. In the end I just lay on the bed until I didn't notice that I fell asleep. I woke up again when I heard the phone alarm and my eyes widened when I saw that it was 6AM! I will be late for my class later!

That's why I quickly got ready, I didn't even eat a good breakfast, but it's a good thing that my mom is still a pandesal, so I just buried it and I'll eat it later when I get on the jeep.

As soon as I left the gate of the mansion, I jumped in shock when my car suddenly honked. As I was holding the pandesal that I was about to bite, I fell on the road. I only have one pandesal left that has fallen!
