Taming You (JhoLet Adaptation)

Jhoanna's POV

I woke up when I felt the vibration of my phone, I blindly looked for it and answered the call without knowing who was calling me.

"Hel—" Before I could even greet whoever it was, I was cut off with a loud voice.

"JHOANNA CHRISTINE ROBLES, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! YOUR NANNY SAID THAT YOU HAVEN'T COME HOME SINCE YESTERDAY AND YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING YOUR PHONE! SHE'S FREAKING WORRIED ABOUT YOU! OH MY GOD, YOU HARDHEADED CREATURE!" I winced and shoved away my phone from my ear before I get deaf officially. I turned it to speaker so I could still hear her rants. That was Mikhs by the way.

"Mikhs, calm down," I heard Ate Aiah's sweet voice from the other line, I frowned and was about to talk because I'm fully awake now but then a series of deafening sermons come again.

"JHOANNA CHRISTINE! NANNY HERE DIDN'T SLEEP ALL NIGHT WAITING FOR YOU! YOU MADE HER WORRY TO DEATH, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST ANSWERED HER CALLS AND TOLD HER ABOUT YOUR WHEREABOUTS! I WILL TELL UNCLE ABOUT THIS!" Instead of being scared, a smile crept on my face. She told Mikhs to calm down then there she was, screaming like there's no tomorrow, really, Ate Aiah?. I waited for another five seconds because they might add up another sermon again but they stayed quiet so I decided to talk.

"Hello to you two," I paused when I heard them complain about my choice of words.

"Oh my god! She's unbelievable, after all those scoldings, she's like 'hello to you two" ugh! I can't!" Ate Aiah said dramatically. I laugh and talk again. "Hey hey, slow down tigers--"

"Don't talk to us like that, we are not kids." Mikhs interrupted.

"Alright, slow down bitches. I'm fine, okay? No need to worry--"

"Us? Worried?! No way, girl. It's Nanny who's freaking worried about you that's why we called you hoping you'll finally answer." Mikhs said followed by Ate Aiah's small "right". Tsk, bad liars.

"Sure, as if I believe you." I mock and flip on my back, I was lying on my stomach a while ago and look around the room. Then it hit me, I was in Colet's apartment so I checked the time and it's already one in the afternoon, which explains why I'm starving. I haven't eaten since last night, Papa will surely kill me if he knows about all these stupid things I've done, good thing he's out of the country again and will be back next weekend.

"Whatever, where are you? I called Sheena and she said it was last last day the last time she hang out with you." I heard Mikhs ask. What should I tell them? That a certain guy was about to harass me last night and Colet was my Knight but wasn't in shining armour and catches a punch just to save my ass? Damn, they won't stop bugging me if I do, think for a lie Jhoanna!

"Yah! Still there?" Ate Aiah asks.

"Uh... I'm somewhere... safe." I trailed.

"Be specific Jhoanna Christine," Mikhs said seriously. I sigh and massage my temple.

"Mikhs, what day is it today?" I asked instead. "Bitch, don't you try to make fun of me--"

"Just answer me," I said seriously, gone was the smile on my face.

"It's the 14th day of September, Jhoanna."

"And yesterday?"

"Oh my god!" she said in frustration.

"Of course, it was the 13th of September yester-— oh shit." she curses and went silent for a while. I smiled bitterly and waited for her to talk.

"Please tell me where you are." Mikhs pleaded. "Jho, I was just kidding, I won't tell Uncle about what happened," Ate Aiah added which made me chuckle but it came out dry.
