"It's really beautiful here in Macau!" I shouted when I got to the hotel swimming pool. I don't know what happened but I know that this is my year, that I was lucky because I was chosen in the raffle earlier in the office and I was still with my longtime crush at work, this is my year, yes. This is your year, Elaine. I was about to go back to my room with Luke because it was almost night when I noticed the bar section, I haven't had a drink even once so I'm going to try it. "Can I have 1 bottle of tequila?" I asked the bartender. "Yes ma'am, but are you sure you really want to have a bottle?" he asked. What's the problem? "Yes?" I answered hesitantly. "Okay, here you go." He said and I poured it into the wine glass. The first sip, the taste is bold but delicious at the same time. I drank more and more until I finished a bottle. Little by little I got dizzy so I went back. "A-ahh, I have a headache." I just said as I walked towards our room, my vision was double. "R-room 609. A-that's it." I can't walk properly anymore, I feel like I'm going to fall down anytime. I was about to click my card on the door but it opened immediately even though I hadn't put it in yet so I just went in and laid down. I noticed that Luke was also here, smelling like alcohol. "Hmm.." he said and hugged me while lying down. "L-luke..." "Sera..." who is sera? and why does Luke's voice seem to have changed? I'll just think about it tomorrow, I can't think straight because of the tequila I drank. "L-luke, what--- He kissed me, I couldn't see his face because it was dark here. I returned his kiss and we spent the night together *tomorrow* *cring, cring, cring* I rubbed my eyes because it was morning, I saw Luke with his back to me, naked and me WHAT?? did we really do that? I smiled, it's not bad for my first time because it's him. "Hmmm.." I was suddenly surprised because he turned around and suddenly hugged me, I didn't even see his face. "Is it morning already?" he asked, is luke really english? Besides, does his voice sound different? Is it really like this when you just wake up? "Yes, luke, let me go. I'll cook you breakfast." He was surprised by what I said. "Luke? Who's luke sera?" he asked. "Sera? Who is Sera??" I asked again, he was surprised and suddenly faced me, I just stared at what I saw. A very smiling creature, but he is not LUKE!!! "W-Who are you???!!" he shouted. I stood up suddenly and took my clothes while the blanket covered my body and went to the cr. "Lady, I am asking you, why are you in my room??" "I-I don't even know what happened, and what's your room? It's my room!" I shouted inside the cr while getting dressed. What did I get into? Why isn't that Luke? Why was I drunk last night?? "That's it, I'm calling the guards." he said and dialed. I quickly stopped him but they answered. "Hello sir? What's the problem?" "I need you to come here right now there's an intruder in my room." he said angrily. "What intruder? This is my room!" I was surprised because the guards were quick and there were more of them. "What happened Sir?" asked the one with glasses who was not a guard. "This woman right here is saying that this is her room" "But it's true--- "Your card ma'am?" I gave my card and it said 606. We looked at the name of the room and the number 6 at the end was italicized so we couldn't figure out what room it was. "This is room 609." "But the number was sideways and I was drunk last night so I didn't notice!" "I am so sorry Sir Fontello for this misunderstanding, this is our fault. We will take responsibility about this." the guard said, wait fontello? as in the fontello company that wants to partner with our company? The biggest company? "M-can I ask? S-who is he?" I asked the one with the glasses while they were busy. "He's Sir Van Fontello. The CEO of fontello company and one of the billionaires of our country." I can't move where I am, a billionaire? so i had a one night stand with a billionaire?

Francine Carrel Asuncion _______________________ "Hey, Francine. What's up?" Mia called, which made me go crazy. "Why?" I will ask. "What are you thinking, Frennywaps huh?" he said then arranged our painting supplies. "Sorry. I just remembered what Papa said yesterday." I promise. "Speaking of your Papa! What's the matter with Tito picking you up at home this morning?" it asked. "Well... how can I tell you?" I promise then take a deep breath. "It's occupied, what is it, here it is." he said as if he was bored with the gossip I was about to say. "That's how it is." I said then took a deep breath and started again. "He is planning to find a 'supposedly' perfect man for me and he is going to get us married as soon as possible..." "Huaaaat?! Immediately, Frenny? My god! My brainy didn't understand that. It was shocking!" he said as he held his sensei and I immediately fell in love. "And that's really what you were worried about, you know I have a boyfriend." I said Indian seat and he immediately winced. "Heh. I don't know. You know, Francine. I'm really disappointed with your boyfriend Rio, it seems like there's something bad and fishy there and I can't figure out what it is right now but here it is, remember this time I'll know if what's that. Nako, I'm telling you frenny, I'll have it salv*ged, choss." He said that my eyes are getting smaller. I just shook my head and continued my painting. We were in the Art room with our other classmates. I was about to finish when suddenly someone knocked over my mixing palette with only paint in it. "What?!" I wonder if we are together and look at my uniform that is full of paint. "Are you blind? Aren't you looking at what you're passing by!" I said annoyed then looked at him badly but he immediately turned his back and didn't seem to have any intention of apologizing for what he did so I laughed a little and stood up then grabbed his arm. "Aren't you even going to apologize?" I said annoyed then faced me but I already stopped to speak... "I-You…." "I know I'm handsome. But I'm busy." it said with a smirk. What the---! I would have yelled at him because he had already left. B*sit! Why is he really handsome and I'm really stunned hays. "Just calm down, okay. Just get changed." Mia laughed and said, "Oh, it's okay." ______ I'm in the restroom right now trying to remove the red paint from my uniform, tsk. If it wasn't really because of that man, my uniform shouldn't be dirty. I really missed that sound when we met again---- * KRING KRING KRING My cellphone rang from my pocket so I immediately took it out and it was Papa who called me so I was in agony. Annoyed and pissed off, I just answered. "What is that?" I will ask. "Come here. We will talk." he said so I took a deep breath. "Sorry, Pa, but my class ends later." "I already talked to your Professor and he agreed to let you go home this afternoon so hurry up because our driver will pick you up." he said as he ended the call. What is it? I just put my uniform in the paper bag and went out of the bathroom then waited for Manong Julio in the waiting shed outside the school. I texted Rio first because he might look for me later in the classroom and I'm not there. 'Babe, I have to go home first, because Papa is calling me. Let's meet Tom, I love you!' I messaged but after five minutes Rio still didn't respond so I thought maybe he was just busy. Manong arrived so I immediately rode in the back. ___________________ I thought he would take me to Manong's house, but I was surprised when he took me to a restaurant. I got down and went inside. Papa said that I will sit at table 7 because that's where we reserved but why is someone else already sitting there. I came closer to ask but I was surprised by what I saw--'the bwis*t man earlier who threw paint on my uniform. What is that man doing here? And here it is! "Excuse me, that table is already reserved. You can use another table, right? Didn't you see the sign?" I said then show me the 'RESERVE' sign I saw it laugh softly. I'm really still being laughed at. What's so funny huh?! "Sorry, Miss, but I'm here---" "Oh, Hija. You're here." said Papa who sat across from Kumag as if nothing had happened. "Oh, sit down, my dear." he said and I sat down but I still couldn't take my eyes off of this guy. "Hija, this is Trevon Lucas Mateo, he's the one I'm telling you that I want you to meet and I also want you to marry in the future." Papa said and I immediately looked at him. "What?! He's the one you're talking about?!!" I screamed in surprise. As in a literal shout, it's surprising, isn't it?
