Sweet Scent of Success (Horizon Series #1)

Chapter 21

When I woke up my head feels like being hammered. Oh God! I stood up and looked myself in front of the mirror. I am a mess. My face's a mess!

"Oh, you're up already." I looked at Estella who came from the bathroom.

I held my head. "What happened last night? I barely remember everything."

"What the fuck? You've almost been harrassed, Letizia Blair and you can't remember anything?"

"All I can remember is..uh.. Damon? We kissed? Lennox is flirting with other woman? I — I don't know. I don't remember everything. Explain please, S."

She groaned. "Ayan! Inom inom ka hindi mo naman pala kaya! Buti na lang at kasama mo 'ko." She shook her head and laughed. "Lennox saved you from that asshole, Damon."

A memory flash back from last night. Lennox flirting with other woman. Damon tried to harrassed me but Lennox rescued me from him. Thank God he was there I don't know what will happen to me if he wasn't there...But I am still mad at him and I shouldn't be. I don't have the right to be mad at him. I don't have the right to be jealous whenever someone's trying to flirt with him. We're not into a relationship...I am not even sure if he's serious about me. I shouldn't have let my emotions ruled over my system.

"Take a bath, Letizia. Come on, we're gonna be late!" Estella announced while she's putting make up on her face.

"Ugh! I am still sleepy. I want to sleep more! I love sleep. I forget about the pain, problems, stress, everything for a while. Hays!" Estella gave me a sharp look that's why I immediately went to the bathroom.

I wore a simple dark blue dress and a pair of stilettos. Palabas na ako sa kwarto ng biglang tumunog ang phone ko. Lennox's calling, I stared at the screen for a bit before I shut my phone off. This is not the right time for us to talk or I guess maybe there isn't a right time for us to talk. I should stop this while I am not still deeply in love with him. I need to save myself, for once.

After the mass we went to our favorite restaurant. Umuwi na rin kami agad pagkatapos kumain dahil kailangan namin mag-review ni Estella para sa papalapit na Midterm Exams.

There is a mini library here at our house. This is where I study and do my homeworks and stuffs at school. I opened my notes and started reviewing my lessons. Nagdala na lang si Mommy ng hapunan para hindi na ako bumaba pa para kumain. It was already eleven thirty when I finished studying. I stood up and went to my room to take a bath. I climbed to my bed and closed my eyes.

I woke up with the sound of my alarm. It's Monday again! It means I'll be seeing Lennox again. I am not sure if we're in good terms right now... but I don't know how to act whenever he's going to talk to me. My mind is battling whether I should talk to him or not.

I took a bath and fixed my uniform. Hindi na ako nakakain ng breakfast dahil nagmamadali na rin ako. Nagising ako ng maaga pero mabagal ako kumilos. I should definitely improve that kind of attitude.

Tumatakbo na ako papuntang classroom nang may nabangga ako. Nahulog ang mga gamit niya sa sahig kaya madali kong inangat ang tingin ko para iabot ang mga gamit niya.

"Uh, here's your things. Una na 'ko." I handed his things but he didn't get it. He's just looking at me with sharp eyes and furrowed brows.

"You wouldn't even say 'Sorry'? Really, Miss?" He scoffed.

Oh God! I forgot to apologize. "Right. I forgot. I am sorry, I didn't see you walking that's why I bumped at you. Late na kasi ako sa klase ko kaya nagmamadali na ako. Pasensya." I gave him a small smile and turn my back against him.
