Clash of Hearts

Chapter 2

As soon as we got to the mansion's drive way,

I was awake, and watch as we passed by to the vast garden.

I miss being here.

It felt like years since the last time I've walked to the garden.

When the car stopped in front of our double doors,

I hopped out of the car and didn't wait for the couple.

I don't want to experience another awkward moment with them of course.

The butler who's about my age, named Gram, grabbed my baggage.

He greeted me with a polite smile.

I could say that Gram is a good looking guy, but really, I'm not hitting on him.

"Jodie, Dad wants to see you in his study. He said you should go there as soon as you arrive." Ezra called my attention and told me the information.

"Okay," I said as I turned around and started to walk upstairs.

I just want to freshen up and take a nap for having a long trip.

I got upstairs and got inside my room.

I closed the door behind me and leaned my back against the door.

Taking a deep breath then giving out a long sigh, I slid down against the door and hugged my knees.

So many questions that are popping inside my head.

My first question is "why?"

Why did he have to come back and haunt me?

It's just like yesterday when he said that he's going to break up with me.

And now?! He came back into my life .

And crazy as it sounds, for goodness sake! He is with my sister!

I just sat there and it felt like forever and I realize that there's no point of sulking about my bitter past.

I got up and grabbed my towel to have a hot shower.

I stayed inside the shower until my fingers wrinkled.

I was on my way outside the bathroom which is attached into my room.

"WHAT THE FREAKIN' HELL?!" I shrieked at the person who's obviously welcome to my room and especially in my life, note the sarcasm.

He just stared at me and raised an eyebrow at me.

He is sitting on the small bean bag on the corner of my room.

Well for your information, I am only clad in a towel and doesn't cover much skin.

I gripped the towel tighter.

"Get out." I said in a low calm yet angry voice, my anger is rising and pointed to the door.

"I just want to talk." He said in a serious and with a hint of softness in his tone.

I laugh bitterly.

"About what?" I spat.

"Us" He said and his face softened as he waited for my reaction.

I was silent for a moment.

"Why do you suddenly want to talk about United States?" I said and laughed hard as soon asI spat the last word.

I am not dumb and I know what he meant,

I just want to play dumb and dodge the subject called 'us'.

Past is Past.

"Make some sense, silly! I don't have time to listen to your jokes, Alf" I still laughed and gestured to the door for him to go out.

He stood up from the bean bag.

"Jodie-" He was about to say something but I don't want to hear it so I cut him off.

"I said, GET THE HELL OUT!" I shouted angrily and turned my back to him and ran back to the bathroom.

This time I locked the door in the bathroom.

Silence is filling the room.

I leaned my right ear against the bathroom door.

I heard some shuffling and heard the door of my room closed.

I sighed heavily.

What is he trying to pull off?!

That guy will be the death of me!

As soon as Alf left the room.

I rush out and dash my way to the door.

This time I locked my bedroom door.

Of course I don't want to repeat my mistake earlier.

I quickly change into my comfy pajamas.

I lie on my bed, spread eagled.

And my lids got heavy and with that I embraced the darkness.

In my dream, there I saw a hot guy with haunting blue eyes and jet black hair.

And he is Alf.

Alf Ortez the one who's getting on my nerves and always breaks my walls down.

I woke up early the next morning.

Why? You're asking me why the hell?

I am was awoken by the blasting sound and that came from the room across from mine.

"Start twerking like Miley, Twerking like Miley"

I covered my ears with a pillow.

"Hell yeah! Wake me up like a bitch this early morning just to twerk!" I exclaimed.

I didn't know Ezra moved across my room.

And why does she have a weird taste of music now?

I cursed the song under my breath and got up to confront Ezra to shut that weird music.

I am outside the oak double doors and I can still hear the song blasting.

"Ezra!" I shouted for her to hear me and knocked at the same time.

"Hey EZRA!" I tried calling her again.

I stopped knocking when the door knob jiggled.

"What do you want?" said the person who I thought was Ezra.

I stood there rooted and gaped at him, yeah HIM.

One and only Alf Ortez.

"What the.. I-I thought you were Ezra." I told him, good thing I found my voice again.

"Anyway, I came here to ask you that could you let your bad taste of music shut up?" I asked politely as I can, I even offered a small smile.

And that's when it struck me.

"Wait! I wouldn't even ask you nicely! I take it back! Why are you here Mr.Ortez?!" I asked him.

"It's none of your business Jodie and why would I listen to you? You're not the boss of me" He said and closed the door at my face.

"URGH! You-! You- ugh!" I was trying to give a smartass come back but I am too angry to put it into words.

I stomped back to my room.

I landed on my bed with an 'ompff'

"I really really REALLY hate you!" I screamed at my pillow.

I am pissed.

No, I am BEYOND pissed!

With that, I started my day with a nice encounter with my favorite person.

Note my sarcasm there.
