Chapter 4: CHAPTER 4
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ...
I could hear my alarm ringing…
I groaned and clamped my pillows around my ear. I don't want to get up yet but this alarm is still persisting.
I'd slept late last night because of Golden. He keeps playing with me, either pulling my blanket nor biting the edge of my pajama. Telling me not to sleep and play with him instead.
My head's still under the pillow. Soft and cozy blanket all over my body. I searched for the alarm on the nightstand.
It was still ringing.
My right arm plopped down after stopping it.
I want to go to sleep…
Arf arf!
"Golden!" I whined as I got up. "Just lemme sleep first."
Arf arf!
His cute little barks echoed through my bedroom. He's wagging his tail, he sticks his tongue out, his big black eyes tells me to play with him.
"I only had 7 hours of sleep. It's still 6 am in the morning." I whined, pout formed my lips while rubbing my eyes.
He got a box of dog food that I took yesterday from the kitchen so everytime he wakes up, I don't have to go down. I placed it beside his warm little bed.
"Now eat." I fed him before leaving the room and walked down to the kitchen.
I sniffed.
The aroma of pancakes and creampuffs lingering through the hallway.
Hmmmm…. What an enticing aroma. Inhaling it makes my stomach growls.
I saw mom, cooking for our breakfast.
She grabbed the pan and turned around. "Hi ho—" Mom stood still. "You okay?" She questioned compassionately before putting back the pan to the stove.
"Not really…" I purrs.
"Why?" Mom walked her way to me and cupped my cheeks. "Did you sleepwalking?"
"No. Golden wouldn't lemme go to sleep lastnight. Where's dad?" I asked as I looked around.
Mom removed her hands from my cheeks then grabbed the pan that she took earlier.
"He's on the garage." Mom said as we walks into the dining room that's next to our kitchen. "You forgetting something…" She uttered, placing the hot pan on the long glass table.
"Forgetting what?" I blinked.
"Where's my kiss?" Mom gave me a sweet smile as she pointed her cheeks.
Pout escaped my lips as I threw my arms around mom and hugged her tightly like it's been a while since we haven't seen each other. She hugged me back before kissing my forehead.
"Sorry mom." I chuckled before giving her a quick kiss.
"Am I interrupting someone?"
"Dad!" I beamed and darted towards my dad who's opening his arms, waiting for my hug. "Good morning!!!" I greeted lively as we embraced.
My body levitated, dad lifted me up. My feet were hanging from the floor. "Good morning too princess."
"Breakfast is ready." Mom's sweet voice filled the room. Her voice is like a chirping birds.
Dad puts me down and went to our seats.
Since we're just a small family, and being the only child. Mom and dad were not sitting at the edge of table unlike what the other family does, but instead, they're sitting on the opposite seat while I was sitting across them.
"Mom…" I interrupted, scooping a spoon of pancakes with maple syrups and blueberrys on top. "Can I ask?"
"You're already asking." She responds with a grin. I chuckled. "Just kidding sweetie. What is it?"
"Why don't we have maids?" I wonder why… Most of my classmates have their yaya's and maids but mom and dad never had one. But we have our driver of course.
I grew up with no baby sitters around, only my mom and dad who took care of me.
"It's just..... we can handle things without the help of others. Your dad and I decided to live with only the three of us. And we did."
"Oh kay." I slowly nodded my head and stopped from eating. "Buuutt, can I get Golden a maid?"
"Don't you like cleaning your puppy's poop?"
"Daaad! That's so gross."
"Table manners honey." Mom chided but dad keeps on his words.
"What? I'm just stating the facts." Dad smiled widely, helding both of his hands in the air. "No one likes to clean their dog's messes."
I paused and looked at my mom. "Can I?"
"Are you sure about that?"
"Mm-hm, of course I am."
"Ok then, we'll hired someone just for your puppy."
"Thank you mommy."
"You're welcome sweetheart."
"Since it's Saturday… Can I go shopping with Golden?"
~DNA~
"Keep an eye on her." It's mom, she's on the main door of our huge house with dad.
"Of course Ma'am Selene." Said Manong Ely, our driver.
(Manong is what you called here in the Philippines an old man who's usually a vendor or a driver.)
I'm in the car right now, ready to leave.
My parents are wealthy, as far as I know. Our house is well structured. Beautiful gardens all around and a tall secured gate that were 20 steps away from the house.
"See you later baby." Mom blew a kiss before the car made its way to the gate.
"See ya!" I waved back with my fingers.
It took us an hour before we finally arived at the mall.
My body flinched when I opened the car door. The sun was burning and I wasn't able to apply my sunblock lotion.
Manong Ely stepped outside and approached me with a big pink umbrella. I carried Golden and hopped off the car. Then we walks toward the huge mall.
I was welcomed by the scent of donuts, popcorns, waffles and fast food chains.
I put Golden down, letting him walk with us. He have his collar on. I took my phone out of my purse and contacted my bestfriend, Jessica.
"Hiiiiiiiii!!!!" She greeted lively. It's a video call.
"Hi Jess!"
"Where are you?"
"I'm at mall, look…" I paused and lifted my puppy. "He's so cute right? I decided to spent some time with him by shopping so I could also buy him necessities."
"That's good, that's good." She said with a hint of sarcasm? "Good to hear. You got a new friend."
"Are you jealous?" Crease formed between my eyebrows.
"Noo-no, I'm not jealous." She wrinkled her nose. "Guess I should say goodbye, byeeee!"
"Wait—" She was able to hung up before I could stop her. Oh right, she's jealous. "Oh boy."
After endless hours of shopping, I decided to stopped by at the Japanese restaurant.
Time for shrimps...
It was 7pm when we got home.
Manong Ely opened the car door for me, I get off same as Golden.
I took the shopping bags from the trunk and manong helps me with it. We walked to the main door and rang the door bell. But he chuckled when he realized he has the keys.
We got inside, I took the bags from him and thanked him. I strolled to the living room and dropped the shopping bags aside before flopping down on the couch. I leaned my head, spread my arms and shut my eyes.
Golden just cuddled beside the couch.
"Exhausted?"
I peeped. It was dad. "Yeah." I said huskily.
"How's your day with your puppy?"
"Great." I uttered with a hint of tiredness in my voice, sitting straight. "I'd spent 5, 000 on him. And we ate at the Japanese Restaurant."
"I bought him clothes, shoes, toys, and dog food." I said while showing off my dad the shopping bags. "Where's mommy?"
"At the second floor. I have something for you."
"For me? You have something for me?! Again?!" My eyes were sparkling due to excitement. "Oh my gosh!"
"Wait for me princess."
"Ok dad!"
Dad's gone while I was left here alone, swinging my legs and humming in excitement.
A lot of things running in my head, I wonder what it is?
Pretty soon dad came in with a box.
Dad took a few steps towards me and handed me the box he got the way he came in. "Go ahead, open it."
I hastily unwrapped the box, I was so excited that I couldn't even feel that I'm exhausted from shopping.
I'd successfully opened the box and an expensive fancy thing appeared in front of me. "You gave me a handbaaag?!" I squealed.
"A-huh."
"Hermes handbag!!!" I said, full of excitement. Hands were on my mouth. My eyes were glued on it. "Daddy it's so beautiful."
"Do you like it?"
"No I don't like it! 'Coz I love it!!!" I beamed and hugged it tightly. I couldn't contained my feelings… I'm so blissful. "Thank you so much daddy!"
~DNA~
I'm on my bedroom right now. Lying down with a phone in my hand.
I was busy reading comments on my tweet about my Hermes Handbag that I posted a while ago. Then I went back scrolling again. I saw another tweet of Veronica, my classmate or what you so-called ugly fat-ass by Jessica.
This is her fifth tweet ranting about on someone else. I wonder who could it be...
Then an idea struck me.
I messaged Jessica on tweeter.
Me: Hey, hope you don't mind. I'm just concern. Have you seen Veronica's tweets? Are you guys ganged up on each other again while I'm gone? She tweeted for the fifth time.
I don't even know if she's online, but I'm still waiting for her reply tho.
Jessica: Kinda
That made me sit up and was about to chat her back when she sent me another message.
Jessica: I punched her.
Wait what??!
Me: WHAT?!
Jessica: Yea yea yea... I punched her,
:In the face.
:Believed it or not. But who cares? She deserved it anyways.
I didn't reply yet, I waited for her 'coz I know she got something to talk about.
Jessica: We had a group activity last time, the day you hadn't gone to school. And there this ugly fat-ass again asking me to do all the task all by myself. Well, you know what… It doesn't matter to me if she asks a lot, as long as she's not claiming it.
:But she does!
:All she have to do was to ask, and ask, and ask. But she never do anything, not even a single thing. And when we've finished doing the activity. She still have the courage to put her f*cking name on that project or whatever it is.
:She's a jerk.
:A stupid motherf*cker asshole.
Me: Whoah... Chill.
:How—how did that happen?
Jessica: Long story ok? I'll tell you at school. The thing is,
:She f*cking cried like a 3 year old baby! HAHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT A CRYBABY!
:She mess with the wrong woman, she'll get what she deserve.
Me: Wow, you're a badass.
Jessica: Little things, but anyways I should go to sleep, byeeee.
Me: Wait!
Jessica: What?
Me: You're not mad at me aren't you?
Jessica: No I'm not.
:I'm just
The night was peaceful, my conversation between Jess has ended by leaving only with that message. It was 11 pm and I couldn't get to sleep. I feel like I need someone to cuddle with, though I have my stuff toys and big pillows with me. Maybe mom and dad are still awake.
I grabbed my teddy bear.
I climbed out of the bed and walked stealthily out of my bedroom. I shut the door and skidded to the hallway down to my parent's room.
I slowly opened the wooden door, not wanting my parents to wake up if ever they're in the middle of sleeping. The lights were off, only the lights from the hallway fell across the room. "Mom, dad…"
"Honey?"
"Sweetheart?"
It was mom and dad who said those. Someone switched the lampshade on and it was mom. They both sat up from their king size bed.
Mom looks confused right now. "What's the matter?"
"I couldn't get to sleep."
"Why?"
"I'm not comfortable." I admitted timidly as I hugged my brown fluffy teddy bear. "Can I sleep with you?"
"Of course sweetheart, why wouldn't we?" Mom gave me a warm smile that had lighten up my mood.
"Thanks mom."
I walked towards them and hopped on the bed, I laid down between my parents and covered myself with the blankets they're using.
"You're now comfortable?" It's dad. They were now facing me.
"A-huh." I smiled sweetly. "Goodnight mom, goodnight dad."
"Sweetdreams sweetie." They said before giving me a kiss.
~DNA~
"Aaaarrrgghhh. This is tormenting!" I complained angrily, brushing my hair due to frustration.
I'm in the kitchen room doing my homework. I got my book, papers and laptop with me. I prefer to study here than do it on the living room. Yeah it's kinda weird, but who cares?
"What's wrong sweetheart? Algebra?"
I looked up. It's dad, grabbing some milk before gulping it. I pouted and nodded as a response.
"It's already an hour but I've been stuck in this number." I sighed heavily, flipping the pages. "I-I've tried different formulas and equations yet I still couldn't get the answer."
"What am I gonna do…" I held both of my hands around my head, shut my eyes as I feel frustration.
"Here lemme help you." Dad volunteered and sat next to me.
It's already 4pm and glad I was able to finished my homework in Math. I was now writing down our notes in English. Thanks to dad, he helped me answering those mind draining questions.
We heard footsteps coming across the room but I didn't mind it, instead, I kept myself busy jotting down.
Someone puts the grocery bags on the table.
"Want some snacks for the two of you?"
My head lift up. "Hi mom!" I greeted and went back on writing.
"Hello there sweetie." Mom leaned down on me and slithered her arms around my body, stopping me from writing. "Wants some yogurt for a good girl like you?" Smile formed my lips. Mom's hugging me from the back.
I tilted my head at her and flashed a smile. "Sure thing mom."
"Aweee so adorable…" Mom's voice was full of endearment. Hugging me tightly. "I love you so much baby girl."
"I love you too mom."
"I'd bought some food snacks for the movie marathon later."
"Movie Marathon?!" My eyes widen. "But it's monday tomorrow." I pouted.
"Oh yeah I forgot..."
"Maybe we could do it on Tuesday, since our class was only M-W-F."
"Ok then."
