CHAPTER 1 | Don't Test My Patience
My first day seems like my usual day. I woke up early to prepare breakfast for Sir Jax. Around six o'clock I was already awake to take care of breakfast but when I went down to the living room, Kuya Baste told me that he had already left. maybe I'll go early tomorrow so I can catch up with him next time.
"You leave the house early," he said while eating the breakfast I had cooked for the boss. It's a shame because if there was no one to eat, I just fed them and then we had breakfast together. sir did not ask me anything else regarding his son. I feel like they don't care what I do, as long as it's up to me to take care of and watch over the child.
"Can't I go to the boy's room? What time is it? Isn't that breakfast?" I asked Kuya Baste who laughed. He gulped down his cup of coffee and took another bite of rice.
"Oh, Seia. I'm the one who's telling you," he said, causing me to give him a questioning look. "Don't wake that boy up. Let him come down here on his own."
I left with a sigh. "But what time is it? It's not right that he will wake up whenever he wants. He will be hungry."
"It's up to you," Kuya Baste shrugged his shoulders in the end and didn't say anything.
I am currently going up to the second floor to go to Lily's room. They say that it's really noon when you wake up, especially if you don't have school and often don't have breakfast. I'm already wearing my uniform and I just finished breakfast. I stopped in front of the door when I reached her room. I was hesitant at first but decided to pull the knob eventually. Surprisingly, it was unlocked. My lips pursed as I slowly pushed the door which made a low creepy squeak on the floor.
"Lily?" I whispered and tried to peek inside her room. it was dark and I couldn't clearly see the entire room. I took a deep breath and slowly stepped on the floor. "Lily—ah!"
I couldn't stop screaming when I fell to the floor because of the slip.
"Hahahahaha!" The child's giggles immediately erupted from the four corners of the room. I caught my own hip and looked at the young woman who was now standing on her bed while jumping for joy. "Hahahaha! You're so lame! Hahahaha!"
"Aw! Lily?" I winced at the wind. I don't know, but I think I fell worse because of the slippery floor. When I tried to take a look at what was stepped on, I saw watercolors scattered on the floor. "What's this? Did you do this, Lily?"
"Yes! Yes! I did that! hahaha." he laughed teasingly before jumping off his bed. "Are you my new babysitter?"
I held my hip as I tried to sit down on the floor. I glared at him.
"Why did you do that? It's bad!" I'm sorry but the kid seems to be used to it and doesn't go through such things anymore.
"Isn't it also bad to enter my room without even knocking?" she asked me back which made my lips purse. Oh yeah, this one has a very sharp tongue.
"W-what?!" I snorted but it just laughed again before looking at me.
"I don't like you! So stay away from me!" she shouted on my face.
"Oh! Seia? Lily? What happened here?" Kuya Baste opened and immediately joined me on the floor. the boy didn't say anything more then quickly ran out of his room.
"Are you really all right?" Kuya Baste asked after I drank the medicine for the pain in my hip. It doesn't hurt anymore and it seems that the medicine got it right away.
"It's fine, brother," I answered, trying to smile even though I was almost hysterical because of what happened.
Lily is now in the garden playing. I just finished cleaning the first floor and am currently putting the laundry out. Kuya Baste said that Sir Jax would rather do laundry than do the laundry himself so that he can reduce the work. I walk to the storage room where the dirty clothes are stacked. I caught a glimpse of Lily in the garden when I passed by.
"Lily!" I yelled at her. The boy turned to me but immediately glared at me. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Don't talk to me!" she shouted back.
I took a deep breath and finally shook my head. I went straight to the storage area carrying the basket of clothes and did not bother the child there. At noon I thought of cooking for our lunch. They have stocks in the fridge so I cooked whatever was there.
"Are you cooking lunch?" asked Kuya Baste who seemed to be just going around the hospital going back and forth.
"Yes," I answered with a smile.
"Isn't your hip aching anymore? Just be patient kid. Don't worry I'll just tell Sir Jax what happened today—"
"Oh! don't stop, brother," I interrupted. I shook my head then smiled at him. "It's okay, just don't tell Sir Jax what the boy did."
"Huh? Are you sure?" This was a strange question that I quickly answered. The child might be scolded and resent me even more. maybe next time he won't just do that by chance.
"Hey!"
Almost at the same time, we looked at Lily who was now about to enter the entrance.
"Lily," Kuya Baste greeted her with a smile. "Seia is cooking lunch."
"I don't care. I wanna eat outside."
My jaw literally dropped because of what I heard. Lord, give me more patience! In the end that's exactly what happened. Lily and I ate outside but before that I called Sir Jax because that was his order. I still don't know what it should and shouldn't eat.
"Ah, sir, Lily wants to eat outside," I said while talking to Sir Jax on the phone. We are already in the car and are about to drive to the restaurant where he and his daddy often eat.
the bvngal boy's art is also good!
[You can talk to Sebastian, he knows the place.]
CHAPTER 1.1 | Don't Test My Patience
"Yes, sir. We're going there now," I said, glancing at the quiet boy behind. she was holding a rabbit stuffed toy and she's roaming her eyes outside the car like a curious cat. "Is there anything Lily shouldn't eat?"
[She can eat anything except peanuts. She's allergic to peanuts.]
"Okay sir, it's noted on the peanut."
