Chapter 6

-MYCA-

I've been tossing and turning in my bed. I can't get Vince's stare at me out of my mind.

My God. Doesn't he know that I can see him in the corner of my eyes?

It's a good thing he didn't see how my fingers were shaking while typing because he was staring.

I took a pillow and covered my face while screaming.

Shemay!! I feel giddy! I guess I'm the one who will fall for Vince the most!

I just stared at the ceiling smiling. Creepy I saw Vince's face again.

I raised my palm and imagined that I was touching his face.

I will do everything to make you happy. Promise, crush!

The next day, I woke up early to prepare breakfast.

"Morning, Myca," said a voice.

I looked at Vann who was in front of the fridge getting water.

"Hey! Good morning, Vann!" I said smiling.

He spit out the water he was drinking when he saw me.

"What happened to your eyes?!" he asked with a laugh.

I turned off the stove and took out the hotdogs I had cooked and put them on the plate.

"Your Big Brother didn't put me to sleep last night!"

He looked shocked.

"What?"

"Because he's terrible. He's melting to look at!"

"Woahh! Is there something you're not telling me, Myca?" he asked while helping me seat the table while I was telling the story of what happened to Vince and me yesterday.

"So that's it! He stares hard. It's like this," I said and looked directly at Vann.

But in less than a few seconds, our gaze was broken because he suddenly laughed.

"Sorry. Your eyebags are funny. I can't imagine brother staring at you with such ugly eyebags."

I slapped him in disgust.

"That's why I told you he didn't let me sleep! I can see his face on the door, on the wall, on the window, and on the ceiling! Vann, I really like your Big Brother. As in super like!"

I wasn't ashamed to say that to Vann because it was my vote. And I feel like I will explode if I don't tell my feelings.

It's as fast as my crush levels up - just one day it was a like and now it's a super like. What's tomorrow love? Hey!

"Don't worry, based on your stories, I can see that you're about to have brother's crush too. Just a little push and I'll take you with me later," said Vann.

I looked at him.

"Where?"

He grinned.

"We're meeting Sugar so you'll fix it later, okay?" he says.

O.M.G. Face-To-Face with the Ex?

I think I'm nervous all of a sudden!

"Good morning."

Vann and I looked at Vince at the same time.

He's handsome as usual but there's something new about him - he has eyebags just like me!

What is the meaning of diz?!

Vann and I looked at each other. already know.

"Good morning, Vince!" I happily congratulate Crush.

He just nodded at me and then seat down. Vann and I seat down next.

"Morning, brother. Can I take Myca with me later?" he asked.

Vince looked up and then looked at Vann and then me.

I'm so nervous!

"Where?"

"Because we have a project in one of our subjects. I was just going to help Myca buy materials here. Is that possible? Or will you have her do something?"

"It's okay. I haven't finished reading the reports she made yesterday so you two can go," he said to Vince and then looked at me.

"And Myca, good job on those reports. Very detailed and informative, thanks," he said with a smile.

Her eyebags were more emphasized when he smiled but mygod! He's so cute especially when he smiles!

"Nothing, Vince!" Next time you won't do me a good job there!

***

Vann told me that we will meet Sugar after lunch.

I am really nervous.

We are here today at a café restaurant that is our meeting place.

"Vann, is there a CR here? I think my stomach hurts," I said with a wink. Seriously. I eat too much earlier because I was in a very good mood.

"Seriously, Myca?" said Vann laughing.

"Yes, . I'll only be here for a moment." I feel like it's just a chair in my stomach. As in sitting, everything is out.

"You're terrible. I think the CR is in the back, just look for it. Make it quick," Vann said and looked at the menu.

I quickly stood up and went to CR.

-SUGAR-

"Babe, are you really sure about what you're going to do?" Klint asked me as we entered the restaurant.

"Sure, why? Then I'm not forcing you to come, Yuzon."

"But because... don't you feel anything?"

"Feel it? I'm excited to meet her. What's your point?"

"I mean you're not hurt?"

I stopped walking and faced him.

"And why will I be hurt? I told you I'm totally over Vince," I said to reassure him and then we entered the restaurant.

Vann immediately stood up when he saw me. But he was relieved when he saw my companion.

"Hi Sugar, Yuzon," Vann said smiling.

"Hey, how are you? How's Vince?" I asked when we seat down.

This Klint immediately looked at the menu. Really like a child.

"He's fine. He's doing better these days and I believe it's because of the girl I was talking about."

"Hmm. That's good to know, then. Where is she?" I will ask.

Vann is alone.

"Err," it just said and then looked at something behind.

"She's here," he said and then someone gestured behind me.

"Hi," said a voice behind me.

I turned around and saw a petite woman wearing a simple, white shirt, knee-length floral skirt, and a pair of doll shoes.

She had a shoulder-length hair that curls at the bottom and what I noticed more about her is her eyes - she had a pair of beautiful eyes.

I stood up and extended my hand to her.

"Hi. I'm Sugar, Vince's ex," I said smiling with my bitchy tone. I felt Klint squeeze one of my hands. Jealous again! Wait, I'm just trying something.

sHe accepted my handshake and almost shook it off because of his excessive shaking.

"I'm Myca! Vince's assistant and soon-to-be girlfriend!" she said with a wide smile.

Vann was right. sHe found the perfect girlfriend for Vince.

Problem is, I saw my past self in her.

I just hope that Vince will actually fall for her and not because he sees me in her.

-VINCE-

I looked at my watch. It's past 7pm and Vann and Myca are still gone.

I went out and got a beer from the fridge and something to eat.

I seat on the sofa and turned on the TV and watched the news.

Are there that many materials needed for Vann's project? Why do they take so long to shop? They left earlier this morning.

I stood up and went to the door to see if they were coming.

I quickly closed the door and went back to the sofa and turned on the TV when I heard footsteps and laughter.

Seconds later, Vann and Myca came in laughing.

"I can't believe you said you were an assistant!"

"Why? Actually..."

"And then you really pooped-oh, Big Brother."

"Hi Vince, have you eaten yet? Vann and I already eat outside, she freed me," Myca said with a smile.

I don't know why but that annoyed me.

"How can I eat without the helper to prepare the food?" I said and went to my room.

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me. Why am I upset that she went out with Vann dressed up and still wearing a skirt?

Ahhh damn.

-VANN-

"ohh! Vann!!! What happened to your Big Brother? Why did I level down?! He called me an assistant again! He used to be a roommate in that house, then he should be a roommate in the next one. But why is that?!" Myca asked me in a panic while pulling my hair.

I couldn't understand what he was saying because I just followed brother.

The last time I saw him get annoyed was when Sugar was kissing Klint. Okay, she wasn't just annoyed then - she was pissed and hurt, but still! This is new!

I have never seen brother lose composure like that because of something so petty.

And he won't throw a tantrum just because he didn't have dinner.

Why? Because he can fucking cook! He was the one preparing our meals before Myca came into our lives.

I grinned and put my arms around Myca's neck. I have a good feeling about this.

"Don't worry, Myca. I assure you, you didn't level down," I said while ruffling her hair.

This is going to be fun.

-MYCA-

It really bothers me to know that Vince seems to be mad at me because I didn't cook him dinner.

Because Vann and I really enjoyed talking with Sugar. Vann was right, she was not only a beautiful woman, she had a better mood.

And she and Klint are so good! Then Vince is very suitable for me.

"Myca, Vince is not into flirts. sHe loved the past me, not the present me. So the only thing I can suggest you do is to just be yourself and let him fall for your natural charms. You like him, right? Then , follow what your heart is telling you to do because the heart knows what it wants."

I felt like I was struck by lightning when Sugar said that.

So what happened was that what Sugar taught me wasn't flirting, but she just said what she remembered about Vince's likes and dislikes.

"Vince is a great cook. He loves cooking but he loves it more when someone cooks for him."

That's why I'm here today serving him dinner. I immediately cooked for him earlier because I saw that he only eat one tsitsyria and it wasn't finished yet. So guilty!

I immediately knocked when I reached his room.

I prepared my best smile and when I heard him open the door, I immediately raised the food I had prepared.

"Sir, sorry, Sir! It won't happen again! Here's the same..."

I swallowed hard when I saw Vince's condition.

It looks like she just finished taking a shower because she's just wrapped in a towel and her ultra yummy upper body is exposed.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

Homayghad. Eight hard pandesals!

I feel like I'm Vince's dinner! That's the only pandesal that even though it's hard, I'm willing to eat it even without stuffing!

"Aherm! Eyes up here, Myca," Vince called my attention.

Jusmiyo!!!

I feel like I want to sink where I'm standing!

"V-vince, here's the pande-denner.. aherm! Your dinner. I'm really sorry that Vann and I took so long. It won't happen again, pecsman!" I said and looked at his face.

Terrible. He looks so fresh. His eyebags are missing a bit, maybe he slept all day when we weren't there? Then his lips are red... Even his ears are red.

Huh? Does anyone's ears really turn red after showering? I thought it was just my eyes that were red.

"It's fine. Sorry for earlier. I was just... hungry, I guess," he answered and opened the door more so I could put in what I brought.

I immediately stepped inside and put his food on the table.

"Vin--!" What I was about to say was cut off when I suddenly turned around and felt as if I was lost and grabbed onto his swivel chair.

It was like slow motion that the chair slowly moved and I lost my balance. I just waited with my eyes closed for what would happen to me.

"Myca!" Vince called.

But instead of a hard object catching my head, it fell on a soft object.

Vince was holding my head protectively using both of his hands while he knelt on the side of my head.

The towel is gone so I swallowed three times.

Too bad he was wearing boxer shorts!

"Are you okay?" he asked and helped me sit up.

"Uh-huh," I nodded while looking at her wide chest that I could see up-close.

I was surprised when he suddenly slapped me on the forehead.

"Ow! It hurts, Sir!" I said while touching my forehead.

"You're not careful," he said and then stood up.

He held out his hand but instead of looking at his hand, my eyes were following something else.

What did my maid say? Is it true when uhm, biggie? Then juts when tinnie winnie?

Then, Vince is a flamboyant D! I'm sure even though I haven't actually seen it in person!

Wooooh!

Why is it that since I met this man my thoughts have become worldly?

His sex appeal is too strong!

I screamed in shock as Vince suddenly picked me up and then set me up properly.

"Where are you looking? Did you like what you see?" he asked with a grin but his ears seemed to be getting redder.

Does bathing really have that effect on men? It's a long time.

"Yes. I like it very much," was not my own answer.

I was startled when he suddenly laughed and then he slowly pushed me out of his room as we faced each other!

I can feel my senses tingling while his bare chest was on my freaking face. He smelled of aftershave cologne and soap - very manly and fragrant.

And he is smiling. Show teeth! I think I was dazzled by his teeth. Toothpaste can be commercialized!

He patted my head when he finally tossed me out of his room.

"Looks like you caught a bad wind when you went out with Vann. Go take a rest now. Good night, Mycs. Thanks for the food," he said smiling before he shut the door on my face.

I was holding my chest because my heart was beating so hard.

Have I leveled up again?

All right!
