French Kiss in Paris

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

"Cosette," I heard his voice calling me, and then it was followed by a few knocks. I quickly closed the window in my room and attended to him as I opened the door. Bumungad naman siya sa akin. He's only wearing a white tee over a blue cardigan and a pair of denim pants. "Are you ready?"

"Oui," I acknowledged and picked up my bag where my clothes are. Isinakbit ko sa balikat ko ang strap pero agad namang inagaw ni Cashel iyon sa akin at siya ang nagbuhat. "Hindi naman mabigat 'yan. I still can carry it."

He shakes his head abruptly. Hindi siya pumayag so it's fine. "Your building doesn't have an elevator."

"Yup, fair enough."

"Why don't you just stay with us? Adie won't mind it. I don't mind it. And it'll be easy for your travel to go to school."

"I wish I can but I can't leave this apartment unattended," pagrarason ko.

"Victor can help you maintain this place," aniya. He's just trying to make something up for it para lang mapapayag niya akong tumuloy sa kanila. At saan din naman ako matutulog 'di ba? The last time I stayed at his place, at home ang feeling ko sa paghiga sa kama niya.

"No, he can't," sagot ko. "Victor has his own place to look after. And pwede naman akong pumunta-punta sa apartment niyo. I don't mind the long travel. But I'm fine here in my room, kahit maliit at masikip, it screams who I am."

"Qoui?" he squinted his eyes, confused by my statement.

Inilingan ko ang ulo ko. "No. joke lang, 'wag mo ng pansinin. Allons-y!"

Before we left, I checked if everything is secured so I don't have to worry about it. When I'm good to go, we head down the stairs. Pagkalabas namin ng sasakyan ay isang mustard yellow Lamborghini Urus ang bumungad sa akin. My mouth dropped when I saw Adeline waving at me from the backseat. 

"Where do you get all of these expensive, luxury cars? God, Cashel. You keep surprising me!" I was astonished. I'm not expecting he'll have different luxurious cars. Nakatira ba 'to si Cashel sa Dubai at lahat na lang ng mga mamahaling brand ng sasakyan ay meron siyang pagmamay-ari.

"Well, you know what my answer would be," ngisi pa nito.

"Of course, from your sponsors. Ang bigatin mo naman ha? Binibigyan ka lang nila ng mga supercars and you're just driving it around the city na parang wala lang. Mabuti na lang talaga walang uma-attack sa 'yo."

"Yup, the good thing that these people know how to respect my privacy," he said and he then opens the door next to the driver's seat for me. "S'il vous plaît, Mademoiselle."

"Merci Monsieur!" I giggled and hopped inside his car. He then closed it then head back of the car to put my stuff on the trunk.

"Salut Mademoiselle!" super energetic akong binati ni Adie mula sa likuran ng sasakyan at niyakap niya pa ako. She even planted a kiss on my cheek at naabutan ni Cashel iyon. He's smiling when he sees us so close to each other.

"Did you miss Cosette, Adie?" Cashel asked and then Adie settled herself in the backseat.

She nodded so charmingly by her response. Humahagikgik pa ito. Maybe she's just excited going back home so I guess that's just her natural behavior.

"We'll have all the weekend and the holiday until we came back to the busy life in Paris," Cashel said. "Settled yourself, guys, we'll be going."

Adie screams her excitement. Natutuwa naman ako sa kanya. She's always the happiest of everybody. I'm also glad that I have her in my class and see her grow every day. Para naman akong tao sa pag-aalala ko sa kanya but then he's my fake boyfriend's little sister and I kinda get used to it, too.
