Chapter 9: Chapter 7
"Aren't you done yet?" I asked Marcus, he has been arranging things here earlier and until now he is still not done.
"Just wait a minute, I'm almost done" he replied without looking at me.
"You said that before but until now you are still not done." I said sarcastically
"Why are you in a hurry?" he asked
"Because I want to go home!" I raise my voice to him
"Hey, don't you raise your voice to me , I'm older than you." he said , pointing at me
I know he is older because it's obvious, the case is I am not comfortable calling him "kuya"
"Whatever you say." I said and then turn my back to him.
After a few minutes and he's finished, finally!
Why does he need to bring a lot of things in here, he almost turned this hospital into an apartment.
"Can we go now?" I asked and walks towards that door. I didn't wait for him anymore because I was bored earlier and I really wanted to go home now.
When I opened the door I felt like I wanted to go back inside again, because the black men were scattered at the hallway, my eyes widened, I did not know if I would be scared or what.
I look around and was amazed to see that not only men were here, I also saw women in black, all armed .
I looked at Marcus and raised an eyebrow at him as he smiled at me like a dog.
The women in black went to him, they bowed to Marcus before they took the things inside.
I just kept watching what was happening and the actions of the people here. I'm not a fool, I know their purpose for Marcus, because besides from our driver there are also body guards around the area where I am, they do not openly guard me because I do not want anyone to follow me .
I looked at the men here and their things one by one.
I saw different guns in them, Some had a Colt M 1911 gun, Ruger LC9, and if I am not mistaken there was also a Glock 22. I am sure they still had hidden weapons.
If you ask where I learned them? Ever since I was a child I have been surrounded by armed men, because of our status in life I really need to know those things. I enjoy exploring things especially that I don't like to go out because I don't have friends.
"Let's go" I stopped thinking when Marcus spoke. I looked at him and then nodded.
We entered a small door and went up the stairs. While walking, I just realized that there is something wrong, we should go downstairs because all the hospital doors are downstairs.
We stopped walking as we reached another door, one of his bodyguards opened the door and I cover my eyes with my hands when sunlight hit me and a strong wind greeted me. Marcus walked but I did not follow so he looked at me.
"come" he said
"Are we on the right direction?" I asked as I covered my hands with my eyes to shield the light coming from outside the door.
"of course, let's go my baby is waiting" he said so I just followed.
I was really amazed at what I saw here . Until now, his bodyguards are still scattered.
"Let's go!" Marcus shouted as he ran towards the helicopter in front of us.
I was even more stunned by this helicopter.
I walked closer and smiled when I saw the name of the helicopter on the side.
"My baby Rio, Seriously?" I asked him and he just smiled.
I was about to step in the helicopter because I was excited, but I stopped when I remembered that I had never ridden a helicopter. I backed away and did not continue to ride.
Marcus saw what I did so he called me.
"Hop in" he said
I shook my head and step backward again.
"Why?" he asked
"I never experience riding a helicopter" I answered while smiling shyly.
"Then you must try it now" he suggested
"No, thank you but I'm afraid of heights"
"I will not let anything bad happen do not worry... come on, conquer your fear" he persuade
Though nervous, I forced myself to ride and believe what he said. We can use a car now but why do we need to ride in this helicopter? is this how rich he is?
My family is handling a multi-millionaire company but we do not like to ride in air vehicles.We are all afraid of heights especially my mother.
"Ready?" he asked me after I put on the seatbelt.
I did not answer and just closed my eyes, soon I felt our vehicle rising. Marcus shouted steadily while I could
no longer breathe on the fear that the helicopter I was riding in might crash.
I might be negative but that is one of my "What if's" that's why I don't want to ride in a air vehicle.
I closed my eyes the whole trip so I did not realize that I had fallen asleep. I just woke up when someone called me.
"Terra, we are here"
I slowly opened my eyes and saw that the helicopter I was riding in had landed.
I removed the seatbelt I was wearing and went down with Marcus.
"I can only take you up to here, I have to go back to Lunao today." he explained to me.
"Don't worry, the bodyguards will take you to your house just tell them where you live" he added
"Thank you Marcus, I owe my life to you"
"No problem but please learn to be respectful, call me kuya" I just laughed at what he said
"How old are you?" I asked
"Well, I am 25 years old" he replied so I was surprised
"25? You look young" I commented
He just laughed at me and took something in his pocket.
"Here's my calling card, call when you change your mind" He said
"Change my mind for what?"
"In my offer, I told you I need you." He said and I remembered what he said last time.
"I'm sorry, but my family also needs me." I replied and gave him an apologetic smile.
"Alright then, I'll go ahead" he said
"Thank you again kuya Marcus" I said before he left riding his helicopter.
