Megan's POV

Scared you right? Hahaha sorry didn't mean to, just wanted to have some fun.... Ah don't tell anyone you were pushed, this is a safe resort. It should remain so. <3

I squeezed up the little note hoping that somehow it would obliterate and never show up again. I move to the kitchen, throw the squeezed up note into the sink, get a lighter and set it on fire then watch as it burn to ashes that I wash out with water.

God, even with the note gone the fact still remains that someone is messing with me, someone nuts that thinks drowning a fellow human is funny. Am also bring threatened, I can't risk telling Javier what if the nutcrack of a person retaliates and hurts him. Hurts us. Nope I'll rather keep this to myself and secretly find out who is responsible. I have a wide guess.

Faye.

I can't believe Faye was once in a mental facility, was once a psycho, well maybe she still is. I don't understand how Javier can be so calm around someone who almost murdered his prom date, stalked him for God knows how long and was totally utterly obsessed with him. It doesn't make sense, if she was obsessed am sure she must have loved him ever since she was in the womb. OK that's a bit funny, a foetus giving a toddler googly love struck eyes; am crazy I know.

I don't think five years is enough to get over him, hell I don't think anyone ever gets over an obsession, Spanish telenovelas and Philippino movies have proven that. God what if she didn't even get released from the facility, what if she escaped?

I jump to my feet immediately running and jumping on my bed then quickly brought out my laptop to search; Faye Perez. I'm probably just being paranoid, Faye might not be involved in my drowning attempt, it might just be a super psycho staff, who is jealous of my sexiness. Yea Meg keep telling yourself that.

Faye Perez, graduate of business administration from Harvard university. Modeled from age 9 to 12. Height.... Age, 24. Wait! That's all?! Nothing else, the other Records had nothing to do with the Faye. I can't believe this, there isn't anything about her years in a mental facility. Wait? Can you school in Harvard while in a facility?

I shot my laptop down in fury, nothing, I've got nothing on her.

"Stop it, go away”Naomi says in her sleep as she puts a pillow over her head to block out my noise. "Sorry", I whisper into the air as I get on my feet and tip toe out of the room. I can't sleep, not now. I just need the fresh air.

I get out of the as fast as I can, the cold air hit my skin almost immediately and I quickly crossed my hands in front of me like a shield, I forgot to grab a jacket, thank God am wearing s long sleeve sweatshirt, with long sweatpants and my fluffy duck slippers? Oh well. I undo my ponytail, letting my hair fall over my back, it can also protect me from the cold.

Then fresh air was really cool, helped calm my nerves, made my forget about the murder attempt on me, made me remember my date with Javier. A small smile escapes my lips, Javier. Oh I love that name, oh I love the bearer, oh I love pretty boy. I remember the way his blue eyes sparkles whenever he sees me, his smile, his laugh, his voice, his touch, he drives me insane.

And he cooked for me today? He actually cooked for me. I rarely get cooked for, no man has ever cooked for me, he is the first, and it was splendid, from the chicken to the shortcake dessert to the lip dessert, everything was perfect. I want to tell him I love him but my heart just hasn't found the perfect time, is there anything like the perfect time? Should I just get it out there, blunt it? Nope, I don't want to rush it, I wants Us to last. I want us to be forever. Maybe I should go to his room? No, we just saw each other, not up to an hour ago. Am not desperate.

I have walked quite the distance, then I see her, Faye. Just the woman on my mind a while ago. She wore shorts, and a white jacket, her hair up a ponytail. I walk up to her.

"Can't sleep?”I ask startling her a little. She looked up at me, then observed my whole attire. Don't look at ducky.

"I sometimes suffer insomnia”she says looking up ahead and still walking.

Insomnia? "Really? What's the cause? I read a book once, in the book a character suffered from insomnia because he had many issues on his mind, troubled and haunted by his past. Are you troubled and being haunted by your past?”I ask her not sparing her a glance, It’s part of the act.

I heard her chuckling, "No. Am not troubled, or haunted. I just have a lot on my mind. It happens"

I look at her, she looks so sincere, innocent, vulnerable even. How can someone pretend so well?. "Did you push me off the dashboard at the indoor pool?”I ask her. She looks taken back by my answer, she stops to look at me, as if asking, if I seriously asked her that question, my glare must have answered her.

"No”she states matter of fact, giving me a mirroring glare.

"You did. You told me to watch my back, then somehow Javier must have told you he wanted to see me, then you stole his phone, sent me a text, lured my to the pool, pushed me off to die, then left a threatening note behind”I say anger burning through my veins.

Silence.

After observing 5 seconds of silence, she threw her head back and laughed, then she frowned, her icy glare returning, "Yes. Yes. No. No. No. No. No."

"What?”I asked confused at her yes, no answer .

"You definitely aren't that bright now are you Meg?. Yes, i told you to watch your back, I was being caring. This is a business world, many people love Javier, he had fans and foes all over the world, a girlfriend like you would be put in the spotlight, you might get hurt"

I want to tell her that I wasn't his girlfriend yet. But I change my mind, she should believe what she wants.

"Yes, Javier told me he was going to meet someone, I just guess that if was you, so maybe the answer is no. No I didn't steal his phone and No to the rest”she says still glaring at me, when I didn't say anything, she turns to go. Not so fast, Miss Perez.

I grab onto her hand causing her to turn and glare at me, "You are crazy if you think I am letting this go"

She roughly yanked her hand away, "I'm not crazy."

"Yes you are if you think..."

"I am not crazy!”She stressed then roughened her hair up with her hand and groaned, "I AM NOT CRAZY!"

I stepped back, her eyes looked totally different from the cool calm person from a minute ago. They had different feelings in them, anger, frustration, fury and not normal. She looked dangerous.

"I... I didn't...”I shuttered slightly looking around to make sure I wasn't alone with her, or to spot a weapon.

"Just leave me alone, please!”Then she walked away, this time I didn't stop her, I watched her walk then run off.

I turned to go back to my room. This night has definitely been adventurous, at least I cleared out something. Faye is definitely undergoing relapse.

~*~

"Baby girl wake up, it's time for breakfast!”Naomi says jumping like a monkey on my bed, causing me to shake and wake up from a terrifying dream.

"Whoa, since when is breakfast this exciting and compulsory?”I asked wiping beads of sweat off my forehead, as I eyes adjust to the morning sun rays streaming into the room

"Since, the boss started cooking it”Naomi says getting off my bed after confirming that am awake.

"By boss, you mean....”I ask feeling my feet on the cold floor.

"Yep, Javier, your baby boo”Naomi winks at me, then faces the closet again, probably looking for what to wear.

"Wow” is all I say as I lazily walk into the bathroom, Javier is cooking breakfast? For all? Well that is something you don't see everyday.

I wear a simple short with a loose tank top, and one of Naomi's finest scandals, with a necklace and bracelet to finish. I let my hair be, bathroom hairdo is sometimes sexy. Naomi wore something more flattering as we went for breakfast which was outside.

The breakfast was under a canopy stand made of dried palm leaves and stems, there were chairs arranged and two stoves with a table for cooking. Javier and Faye were around the table, Javier cooking and Faye following him around, helping. I sat down with Naomi and soon Oliver and Jacob joined in.

Jacob had somehow join our little gang of friendship, he was a pro at tennis and if not for his parents he would have majored in it, instead of going the business department. I didn't even know we worked in the same firm until, I met him during tennis. He was really nice, funny and outgoing. He also liked to talk about himself, a lot.

"So you like the boss huh?”Jacob whispered into my ear, making me jerk away in surprise and glare at him. He chuckled, "sorry, I didn't know I would startle you"

"No problem”I say, looking back at Javier and Faye as they made breakfast, together. Javier was concentrating really hard on the pancakes, pouring the batter expertly and flipping it like a professional chef. He looked so handsome, his hair was poking out in different direction, his been putting his hands into it one too many times. His forehead creased up as beads of sweat formed on them. I wanted to walk up to him and... Faye reached out with a little cloth and wiped the beads of sweat. My eyes widen, how dare she? Javier looked at her, then laughed and said something that made her blush.

I can't believe this? They look like the perfect couple. He is mine. Javier is mine. I should be the one cooking, smiling and blushing there, not her. Not that crazy....

"Earth to Meg”Jacob says snapping his fingers at my face, i tear my eyes away from the couple and focus on him.

"Am sorry, what?”I asked remembering that he asked something.

He chuckled again shaking his head, "No worries. I've already gotten my answer"

I nod, not curious about what his talking about at all, the knot in my tummy making me feel irritated, angry, sad and a bit nauseous. "Am sorry, I need some air”I announced to the table getting up and leaving the pancake scented environment.

They had to cook together didn't they? Am sure everyone is gushing on about how perfect they are for each other. Two rich Harvard graduates, totally fIt’s in. A boss and worker adds up. You should know your place. Altamira isn't for you or your kind.

I wiped a tear, can I really have something serious with Javier or am I just not his type. Are we going to be together secretly until someone classy as Kristen or slutty as Faye takes him away from me. I can't handle it. I allow it, but what can I do? What? I kicked the grass in anger. I love Javier, I've come too far to lose him. I'd die if he leaves me. I will.

"Megan?”A very familiar toe curling, skin tingling and tummy churning voice says behind me. I wipe at my cheeks and plaster a smile on my face as I turn to see him, Javier.

"Good morning pretty boy”I greet, standing still on my spot as he walks to me, he is holding a carton of orange juice in his arm pit area with two plates of smoking hot.. Blueberry pancakes?

"Good morning Megan” he greats eying me suspiciously, "is everything okay?"

I smile wider, "yep, everything is fine”nope nothing is fine, am tired of her Royal craziness flocking around you all day.

"Okay”he answers smiling lightly as he gestures to the plates he is holding. I quickly take them away from him then watch him as he seats on the soft grass and motions for me to do the same. I do too.

"So blueberry pancakes?”I asked still surprised that he was able to pull such a magnificent breakfast for twenty people.

He chuckles, "yep, I wanted to surprise you”he say looking at me and making me insides melt.

"Which one is mine?”I ask looking at the two plates of magnificent goodness. "Chose”he says looking at me amused. I look at them, one had two pancakes, the other had four, after an intense really hard and tiring debate that lasted for two seconds, I chose the one with four.

Javier and I devoured the food in silence, the only noise was from the wind and clashing of fork and plate. He finished his, and watched me eat. I felt uncomfortable but the pancakes felt so good I couldn't care less if Zeus himself was watching me now.

"Where's the cup”I ask setting my empty plate down and referring to the orange juice.

Javier shrugged picking it up and opening the seal, "I didn't bring one, my hands were kind of occupied”then he drank directly from the carton

"Eww”I said watching him chug down the juice, his throat moving up and down in a super sexy way. Then he passes the carton to me, I looked at him and then the opening space. "Come on, you kiss me everyday”Javier groaned. I blush then brought the carton to my lips and drank to my fill.

"Now that's what they call kiss”Javier said laughing as I blushed harder keeping the carton away.

That was one hell of a breakfast, I've never felt so satisfied during breakfast ever. It seems Javier is trying to fatten me up, first surprise dinner, then breakfast.

"So what was troubling you? Or is troubling you”Javier asked coming really really close to me.

"Nothing..”I manage to say, our proximity affecting me in many ways but one.

"Megan talk to me because am not going to leave you be. You were watching me, then the tennis guys said something and you left afterwards."

"You were watching? You saw me?”I ask surprised, but he was laughing with Faye, how did he?

He smiled, "I always see you, no matter what. My eyes are programmed to always be where you are. Even if the room is filled with naked mermaids, I'll only see you"

I smiled, a warmth feeling of happiness exploding in my heart and tummy. I looked down at feet, I'm such a fool, Javier likes me and he won't leave me soon.

"So what's wrong?”He asked tilting my chin up to see him, "did the tennis guy say something bad?"

"No no, Jacob didn't do anything. It’s just that...”Should I tell him of my jealousy moment?. "I saw you and Faye together, being happy and jolly together.... I just wanted to be in her place.. Beside you and the fact that people would think that you guys were the perfect couple annoyed me"

Silence.

"So, you left because you were jealous?”Javier asked, not in a laughing or teasing way.

"Yes”I confessed hiding my burning cheeks.

After a long pause, Javier tilts my chin up again, his blue eyes piercing mine, "Megan would you be my girlfriend?"

What?! Is this it? The moment? Now? Oh God, It’s perfect. Am I ready, of course.

"I know I said until I tear off my engagement with Kristen, but I can't wait anymore, I mean Kristen is already living together with another man. Why can't I do same. Not that am saying we will move in together, it just me saying...”I pressed a finger against his lips to stop him yammering. Then I nodded with a smile. He cocked an eyebrow.

"Yes, Javier. I'll be your girlfriend”I say, my smile widening. Girlfriend? Girlfriend.

He removed my hand from pressing against his lip, "Really?”He asked with a huge smile.

"Yes, pretty boy. Yes”I answered laughing slightly, I'm so happy, before I could say another thing, Javier lips meet mine, kissing me slowly, enticing me. I wasted no time in kissing him back, my longing for him increasing every second. We broke off from air, both our eyes mirroring our feelings.

"Come”Javier said pulling me to my feet as we ran together, Javier leading me into the canopy.

Why are we here?

"Hey everyone”Javier called out grabbing the attention of the chattering employees. Javier was still holding tightly unto my hand.

Why isn't he letting go? Everyone was already looking at us confused. I looked up at Javier confused too. What's he going to do.

He smiled down at me, before looking back at the curious employees.

Oh no. He is going to do it.

"Meet my Girlfriend, Megan"

He did it.
