I was woken up from the loud sound the curtains made and peeked to see my mom is the one drawing the curtains. "ah mami" I groan. Let me say this is my mom's ritual, to wake me up aggressively because she knows that If you wake me up sweetly I will just go back to sleeping instead of waking up.
"get up" she said and walked towards my bed. "¡Buenos días princesa" She said as she sat on my bed. She leans in and kisses my forehead "¿Cómo fue tu noche?" She asked "bien mami, I Had sweet dreams" I said and she smiled.
"do you know you didn't have dinner last night?" she asked. Right, I didn't have dinner. After I took a bath, we had pasta for lunch but I was so tired or maybe it was the jet lag. Sitting g in a plane for 13 hours doing nothing is rely a big deal. So I went up to my room and watched a few episodes of Gossip Girls the show that I found during the flight and then before I knew it, I passed out and that's how I ended up here.
"oh" I reply and sit up "you should get up, I don't want you to get sick" mom said making me chuckle "ok mami, I'm coming" I said "I made pancakes and orange juice." she said and I fall into her arms "thanks mama, I'll be there in no time" I said and she placed a final kiss on my forehead.
She then got up and exits the room. With a yawn, I got up and walked into the bathroom, picking up my brush and smeared toothpaste on top of it and then started slowly brushing. I looked up at my self in the mirror and got a flash back of when Lin was standing right behind me as we brushed and looking at each other in the mirror.
I miss that
With only a thought about him, I blushed like crazy and then smiled at my self. I spit every thing out and wash up the brush then placed it in the cup that seateled on the sink, rinsed my mouth then walked out to catch breakfast.
"look at this little monster" Kevin said the moment I entered the dinning room "like for real Kevin you should be having your own house and married by now, Estas envejeciendo For God's sake" I said and he sent me a death stare and an amused grin settled on my lips. Glad I shut him up.
"stop that, you're both my babies and every one of you is welcome here" mom said "come on mami, this guy is a man now he should be married by now" I said and Kevin pinched my cheek "I'm only 27 for your information" he said "27!!! your old man" I said and wiggle my brows annoyingly at him. "and he's still my child" mom added "I'm hungry" is all I said and my mom pushed my meals in front of me.
LIN
I just can't belive she left. The house feels so empty. I grew used to her presence here and I just miss her loads now. Though I miss her and I really want her company, I won't take her away from her family as well because they need her just like I do.
I left the office early today and I regret it because staying at home makes me miss her even more. This morning, I came across her moisturizer she left behind. And that's not all she left behind, she left some of her clothes and her hairband that is never going to leave my wrist.
I sat on my couch typing some of the notes and organizing them for the coming classes and the short break is coming to the end and classes are resuming soon. I've loved teaching ever since I was a kid, my dad always told me I have to take his steps and I'll have to become a business man just like him. But that wasn't my passion. Teaching was.
As I was still focused on the screen of my laptop, the front door swang open and Min Jae walked in holding flowers and calling Natasha. "Natasha!" he called and I chuckled. "she's not here" I said and his eyes met mine "oh, didn't see you there. Hi" he said waving and I replied with a nod "but you can't go to people's homes shouting like you have zero sense" I said to him and he rolled his eyes.
"I have no mood for you right now, I'm here to see Natasha" he said "why?" I asked "Um... It's no of your business" he said and I chuckle as I took off my glasses and walked to him tucking my hands in my pocket "but this is my house and I must know every thing that goes on in it" I said.
"just.... Is she here or not?" he asked and it was my turn to roll my eyes "she's not here" I said and his eyes widen as if he's shocked. Drama King
"where did she go? When did she go? Oh my goodness" he asked throwing his hands in the air. Ok I know he and Natasha have became close friends, not so close as such but they are really good friends I must say so I get the reason why he is so frustrated right now. "one, she went back to New York and two, she left two days ago" I answered and he huffed. "she did even tell me" he whispered.
"like she told you when she was coming" I rolled my eyes "she told me" he raised his voice a little louder this time "no she didn't" I said raising a brow. There is no way she would have told him. Did she?
She has the right to because they are friends dumbass
I shook off the thought and looked him straight in the eyes and his face softened "ok ok fine she didn't and we ran into each other by surprise. But still she would have told me she was leaving" he said with a frown.
"just drop it man" I said nudging his shoulder "fine, I'll just text her" he said and turned around but I could still sense disappointment clouded all over him "but you can leave the flowers here" I teased with a grin and he turned arround to face me "shut up bro" he said sent me a death stare that pulled a smile out of me. "I love you" I echo and he stopped in his tracks to fully turn arround.
"man what are you doing to this girl?" he asked and his shoulders dropped "what do you mean?" I asked "Lin, we both know you are not a good person AKA heart breaker and you know only Eliana and I can tolerate your dick head" he said and I sigh "people change" I said "people do change but not you, you never change Lin. You'll definitely grow bored of her and dump her like you usually do" he said looking a little more serious this time.
"I won't" I said trying to defend my self " I swear if you dare make her cry I'll kill you my self" he said "and you'll end up in jail" I shoot back "I don't care as long as you are gone and not breaking more hearts" he said a little harsh in his tone. I didn't reply. "I'll just get going" he coos then disappeared behind the door.
The thing is I wasn't a saint in my teen age and early twenties. Except my studies all I thought about was to get under girls skirts and none of them lasted with me for over a month before I got bored. And it's true I broke many hearts which I'm not proud of by the way. All I did was hooking up and that's all, my mind didn't go further than that. It was just the sex for me.
But there's something special about Natasha that wasn't with the girls I used to hook up with. And I don't want to or have any intentions of breaking her heart. She's so innocent for that.
But what if you get bored of her then?
I don't know. I think that's the reason Eliana didn't want to date me. Because I never took any thing seriously and again, it's the sex for me and there is nothing more. But still Natasha is young and still has a whole life to live and I don't want to take that away from her. But, I am not ready to let her go, not yet.
As I was still floating in my thoughts, my phone lit up and I went down to grab it and my heart warmed up to see that it's a text from Natasha. Yeah, I'm not letting her go already.
Natasha: hey there big daddy. Watcha doing?
I smiled at the text. Big daddy? Seriously Natasha? I do have a daddy kink but like for real big daddy? I chuckle and go down to replying.
Lin: just organizing notes for classes that are coming up soon
Natasha: oh don't remind me
I could tell she rolled her eyes.
Lin: I would be proud of you if I was your dad
I sass
Natasha: some times I forget you are old
Old? I'm not even that old. I'm just making 30 in December.
Lin: I'm not old. What are you doing?
Natasha: reading my books
Lin: are you lying?
Natasha: yes. I thought you would love that.
Lin: what are you really doing? Don't lie
Natasha: watching a show but I suddenly missed you and decided to text you.
Lin: I miss you too.
Natasha: I'm going out for dinner tonight
Lin: dinner date?
I was just curious. She really took long to reply and I waited but still no reply. I think I should call her and see if she's okay. After minutes of debating, I finally pressed the call button and her number started ringing for a few minutes until she picked up.
"hey" she said "you didn't reply and I called to see if you are fine" I admit. "I'm fine, I just was having an argument with my brother who switched off my TV" she said and I chuckled. I really missed her sweet voice.
"I really would love to see that brother of yours you always complain about" I laugh "your eye balls will probably fall out at just the sight of him" she said "come on he can't be that bad" I said "yeah he isn't bad, he's worse" she said with a sigh "so about the dinner" I said changing the topic.
"oh that, I'm just going to meet up with a few high school friends" she said and I sigh in relief "come on did you think I was going on a date?" she asked "to be honest, yes" I said and her eye roll was loud enough for me to hear. "I was thinking of one actually. A guy asked me out" she chuckled "don't make me fly to New York right now" I jocked "and I said yes, he's so sweet" she added "I'll kill him, doesn't he know you have a boyfriend?" I asked.
"I didn't tell him that" she said "why?" I couldn't help but ask "he just seems to sweet to say no to" she said. I know she was just trying to get under my skin but it wasn't working. "really? I thought you like hot not cute" I said with a faint chuckle "I didn't tell you that" she yelled "stop squeezing words in my mouth" she added making me laugh at her reaction.
"I just thought" I defend "just shut up, Im wearing a blue dress" she said "make sure you don't show off any of my properties" I said "shame that I'm not an object and you don't own me" she whispered "I don't agree with you" I argued "I'm hanging up" she said "I dare you" I growl.
"you think I'm scared?" she asked "I think you are because if you weren't, you should have hunged up already" I said "fine, I just want to keep talking to you" she said and I smile. "you better send me pictures of you in the dress" I said and after a moment of silence she said "wait, you mean you didn't see the photos I sent earlier today?" she asked.
What photos?
"what do you mean?" I asked "i sent you the pictures I took at the mall after I tried it on" she said and I rushed to cheak and. Shit. She did send photos but I just didn't see them by the time they arrived "oh, I really didn't see them" I admit "ok in then, I was wearing the dress I'm wearing tonight in them" she said.
"ok I'll cheak them out" I said "ok, nice talking to you, I've gotta go my mom is about to break the house apart since she doesn't have anybody to play Uno with" she said "your mom sounds like fun" I said "she really is, but I gotta go, bye" she said "bye" I said and she hung up. Ok that smells fishy.

I've had bad days but this week didn't start off well. I had to watch the Met Gala red carpet today(7th May) and it's when the TV signal decided to bullshit all over the place. You should have seen me fighting with the antena. But nothing worked.
I feel like I wanna rip someone's throat out right now Urgh.
Any way, sorry for the late update and the shitty chapter. I'm just so angry right now.
(Please if you do have updates about what happened on the red carpet feel free to tell me. I think I'll die if I don't get any. Just please)
I love you
💜
