Chapter 20: Chapter 20

What is he talking about? Stephen and I were doing nothing. That John is so dirty minded.

“Oh, right I remember! Pfft I remember you told us Stephen that when you first saw Alyana, she thought that you and that woman are filming obscene!” he said and laugh.

Flyn chuckled too.

I suddenly felt ashamed. I didn’t know that Stephen told that to his friends.

“What did she say again? Pfft, I’m sorry direk, you can continue filming now!” Flyn said and burst out laughing. I heard Stephen laugh softly.

“Yieee, we notice that you laugh and smile a lot now bro.” he’s teasing Stephen.

My heart suddenly beats fast at what John said next. “Is it because of Alyana?”

“L-Leave! You two go out of my house!” Stephen yell at them, he looks and annoyed. I think what John said bothered him.

That two just laughed as they left. “I think your baby is hard now. Enjoy your day bro!” they said before leaving for real. What are they talking about, baby, and then hard?

I just shook my head and yawned suddenly. I don’t know, but drowsiness just visited me.

Stephen Wilson’s Pov.

I heard her snoring, so I shook her shoulder. “Alyana?” I looked at her and her eyes were closed.

What the-- she’s sleeping? Obviously! Is anyone awake snoring? Think about it Stephen, use your head, not the other head!

“Hey, wake up!” I gently shook her shoulder again.

Sh*t, she’s a bit heavy! I can’t breathe properly. Does she intentionally make herself heavier so I can’t move and breathe properly?! That makes no sense, Stephen. She’s very asleep now and her saliva from her mouth is about to fall.

I just carried her to my room. I laid her on the bed, I couldn’t help but stare at her face.

“Damn! Why do you look so f**king beautiful Alyana?” this is annoying! I’ve never stared at someone’s face for so long, and now when this woman came to my life, it’s like a lot of things happen and about to change.

I kissed her forehead and caressed her cheek. I was about to leave when I suddenly heard her sob.

“Dad... daddy don’t avoid me...” I immediately turned to her, as if my heart suddenly ached when I saw her tears started to fall.

Having a nightmare again? Or just a normal dream? But why is she always crying? I mean, when she’s sleeping and dreaming about her dad? Probably she’s dreaming about her dad because she always mentions daddy.

I approached her and sat on the side of the bed. Is she pretending, or is this really for real? Are these tears real or not? It’s hard to believe, I am having a hard time trusting someone I’ve just meet... Since when that b*tch and I broke up; I had trust issues.

“Daddy-- don’t leave me... I-I want to go with you, I-I want to go with you...”

Go? Where?? Can I also go with them? Damn! What am I thinking!

I hold her shoulder and shook it. She was like this when I first brought her here.

“Alyana, wake up!” I shook her again for a few seconds. She opened her eyes in shock and when she saw me, immediately hugged me.

“Dad... I thought you’re going to leave me!” What the f**k? I’m not your dad, stupid! Do I look like a father? I’m still young enough to be a father. I’m not even ready to get married and have children!

Just a second ago, she slowly moves a little away from me. I guess she realized that I’m not his dad. Sh*t! Where is her dad, by the way? Did he leaves her? Yeah, maybe that’s the case. When I went in their house, I didn’t see her dad.

“S-Sorry.” she stammered and tears keep falling in her beautiful eyes.

“Shhh...” I wiped those tears on her cheeks.

“Do you really miss your dad? Where is he? Maybe, I can find him for you.” I said to calm her down, but what I was thinking was wrong I just made it worst.

“Oh, why? I’m going to look for him for you. Why are you still crying? Is that tears of joy-- “

“He’s... he’s already dead.” I was a little surprised by what she said.

“I... I’m sorry, I don’t know.” I hugged her and patted her back. I don’t know how it feels to have my parents die because my mommy and daddy are still alive, and when I was born my grandmothers and grandfathers are already dead, so I didn’t get a chance to get to talk with them.

But I know it hurts. I think everyone will be hurt when their family dies, especially the person you love the most.

“I-It’s okay.” she wiped her tears from her cheek and took a deep breath.

“Why are you always dreaming of him? What happened in your dream?” I can’t help but ask.

“I just missed him.” Damn, my question is what happens in her dream.

“Just sleep there, I’ll just wake you up when I’ve already cooked food for us.” I was about to get up when she suddenly hold my hand.

“What? Do you want to-- “ I hadn’t even finished what I was about to say when she immediately shook her head. She seemed to know what I meant.

Tsk, I thought we can finally do that!

I left the room and started cooking. When I finished cooking, I laid it on the table and frowned as I noticed something written on the tablecloth. I slapped my forehead when I realize what it was. Someone drawn a d!ck in here, and it looks like I already know who did this.

“I’ll kill you if I see you John!” That idiot, if he’s bored them, he can just draw something like this on his table, not mine!

Alyana Perez’s Pov.

It’s Monday now and I need to get in around 8:30 am.

I woke up early and cooked. Nanny Daley still not here, Stephen told me that nanny will come home next week.

“Are you going somewhere?” I turned my gaze to Stephen, who’s now beside me.

“I have classes today. Can... Can I leave?” I hope he will let me go to school today. I won’t look for another man! I’m just going to school.

“Oh, I almost forgot, you’re a college student-- wait! You’re going to see that Xenon again?”

“Uhm, yes, of course. He’s my professor--”

“Then just don’t go to school.” He said coldly. My eyes just widened. I thought he’s going to say yes! What’s wrong with him? It’s like when he asks if I am I going to see Xenon, then he suddenly acts like that. What will be my grades if I always absent, anyway?

“Stephen.” I called his name and looked him in the eye. “C-Can you just let me?”

“Okay, fine! You can go but don’t talk to him.” He said and crossed his arms.

I bite my nail.

Don’t talk? Why? “But--“ He didn’t let me finish.

“Avoid him.”

“W-What?” I’m confused right now.

“Don’t look at his face.”

“Huh??”

“I thought you were studying? You’re already college but you don’t understand what am I saying?!”

“I... I mean, w-why would I do all that you said?”

“Because you’re my property and you’ll follow what I say!” Why does he think of me, a slave? A robot? Why do I feel like he’s controlling me?

Why is he acting weird? I think he’s mad at my best friend, or maybe he just doesn’t like Xenon. Did they fight?

Flyn and Stephen are close. They okay, but why him and Xenon? Xenon is kind and nice, so it’s impossible for him to have an enemy or because Xenon is not the type of guy who loves to fight.

He sat down on the chair, so I sat down as well. “What time are your classes going to be end?” He asked.

“11:30 but...”

“But what?” Can he just let me finish what I am going to say so that he doesn’t need to ask. What’s his problem, anyway?! I don’t know, but I’m starting to get angry with him.

“I still have work to do.” I replied.

“Work? Where?! What kind of work is that??”

“Nash--“ I was surprised when he suddenly hit the table.

“F**k! Who’s that f**king Nash, Alyana!? Is that your f**king boyfriend!?”
