27 Drown #26 (1/2)

”*There is a galaxy in your eyes, constellation formed by stars,

Your mind is a vast universe,

Infinite, free, no borders.

Yet, you're stuck in a black hole,

a living body but a dying soul.”

A spoiler*

Flame jaw dropped, she stared at  me with surprise.

”W-what in the world”... She gulp her drink and i saw her blink thrice.

This is what i mean, no matter how much i want to keep it secret, I can't, they will just be suspicious on me and later on get mad.

They will think i'm being foolish and stupid again. Which is basically a foolish decision but i realize i hurted my self hard enough, nothing could get worse more than what i experienced.

I will leave in the end, and he will return to her. Both of us will be free.

I didn't ask him about what happened, i don't have any plans on knowing even just a tiny piece of information. It's better this way, ignorance can be a bliss indeed.

Back to the topic, why is she even shock?

Ah~ we're in Las Casas right now but someone called that he's just around the corner so i told him to come with me.

And now, What Flame Audrey is seeing with her own eyes is, Zach.

** Earlier that day

8 AM in the morning. I just finished cleaning the house. Zach finally came to work after three days of settling our issue.

He asked me if i can come home with him. I declined.

I don't like it. I refuse to go as i don't want his family to have hope about us, Because all of this are nothing but temporary.

I just wished to focus and spends my time with him again.

Thankfully i don't do 37 hours of duty anymore. I think Nickel did something about it and the Hospital head already talked to me according to my contract.

Though they were obviously pissed, they were still polite and asked me to part ways with them professionally.

I also requested not to tell a word to anyone.

After that, my schedule has changed, i will only duty for 12 hours, luckily right now i have a whole day by myself.

So i decided to clean Zach, penthouse. Yes, i live here again.

Though I haven't mention anything about my resignation to anyone except of course, the Hoover brothers.

Because basically, informing my family will only complicate things.

I do not want to cause more trouble, especially my abnormal cousin can smell trouble kilometers away.

If he found out about my plan then that would be the end of it.

I hate that.

My phone rang, i look who was the caller and it's Flame.

Now, what does this girl need by now?

It's monday, she's supposed to be busy in school. She can't be bored.

”Why” i said when i answered it.  She giggled ”hehe”

”You free?” she asked and i look around the penthouse.

After cleaning and arranging furniture, i guess i am.

”Yes, why”

I heard her squealed. Sigh. This girl.

”Flame Audrey, you're a senior and you're supposed to be busy! why do you have so much time?!”

”Tsk. I'm smart! you don't have to worry about me, im doing fine!”

I know she's smart, but even when i was on my last year of highschool i was still struggling! but this cousin of mine is way too chill! she's beyond chill that she looks like she's not even studying! gracious!

”Stop nagging and meet me by 11 at Las casas! bye, see ya!” and she ended the call.

She's too independent for her age. I'm worried about her, now that im leaving she has no one, at least i could control her a bit.

Flame has a strong personality, she's always perceived as independent and tough. But she's like anybody else too. I know because i saw her grow up.  She only let few people in her life, and most of them are our relatives.

She's still a kid, no matter how much she try to mask it.

Maybe that's the reason why among our family. Tungsten is the most protective man when it comes to her.

And hour later, i finished dressing up. I know Flame told me i need to be there by 11 but i know her well, she's never the type of person who follows time. So 11:30 i arrived at Las casas and I'm damn right. She's still not here.

I waited for about ten minutes before she finally arrived. She's still on her uniform. I really find their uniform weird, tho their unif depends with the season. Still how could they wear this tight and small skirt. I shook my head with that thought.

Thank god i forced my parents to let me study in public. I pretty much got a normal school life compare to her and my other cousins.

”Your call. I have no pocket money” she informed.

Lol, nothing changed.

Las casas is divided by two, a cafe on the other side and a dining.

I ordered steak, A whole pizza.

Flame requested lasagna and mojos so i entertained her.

We're pigging out again, the last time i monitored my weight i was 52kg, pretty normal for my 5'7 height.

While flame is not slim nor chubb, Her fats are on the right places. Typical for her age.

”You're turning Eighteen” I said and she stopped munching her food.

”Yeah” and then shrugg.

She's not excited on her coming off age while the people around her can't even figure out what to do.

”No request?” i asked

”Nah, just give me money” she truthfully stated. Goodness, this girl. She acts as if her own money is not enough.

She's the basic example of an elite teen who can't get enough of her lifestyle.

”And you're graduating” with what i said, she pouted.

”You know what to take already?”

She nod at me, i rose my brow.

”Legal management or political science”

”Huh?” im not sure with what i heard, im confused. I mean sure?

”Tsk, i know most of you want me to take Business Ad or Med but still. I don't like it, I hate accounting too so i wont enroll on BS Accounting! and i hate kids! you cant force me to take Educ! i like this...i realize i really want this”

She looks frustrated.

I just laughed, trying to lighten the mood. ”You might end up being a professional model then?” i joked.
