Eversince I'm a child, I'm not loved and cared. People didn't even noticed me. If they will notice me, it's because of my mistakes.

ME(ACE) : GRANDPA, GRANDPA! 😀 Look at this.

GRANDPA: (throw me a noninterested glimpse) Chelle, you should enjoy and do what makes you happy ha!?

He is like that. He despised me and my existence.

As a child of the age of five, what will you expect me to do? I make a scene to have his attention.

Blog! Plak! Thud!

CHELLE: AHHH!!! OUCHH!!

GRANDPA: What is it? (ask by grandpa from afar.) What happened Chelle? (he ask worried and bothered) (a sharp glare is thrown to my sight) HEY! WHAT'S WITH YOU!? YOU WANNA BE NOTICED!? HA! DO ME A FAVOR, BE DEAD.

HUHH! HUH! HUH!

ME(ACE) : *it's the same nightmare which haunt me through the years. Even grandpa is already dead for more than ten years.

IYA: Good morning 😁🤗😘 (a smile along a hug and a kiss on forehead is given to me by my roommate, my friend)

ME(ACE) : I awkwardly smile

IYA: Don't push yourself ha!?! I know it's the same nightmare you were dreaming.

When I am about to reply I am cut

KRINNNNG!!! KRINGG!! KRRRINNGG!!

IYA: (she talkes on the other lines)

ME(ACE) : *she looks bothered and worried*

IYA: (walks near me. Her eyes glimmer because of the tears she holds back) I will be going home five days from now. My mom called and said that she already found someone I will marry.

ME(ACE) : (I look away by turning my back. But that doesn't stop my tears to fall.) Why now? The semester isn't done yet. (trying to hold this impish cry)

IYA: (she doesn't speak. I feel her at my back and lean her forhead at my back.) It's part of my life. I don't want to go but I don't wanna abandon my family especially my parents. I don't want them to shed there face for the discrimination of my society. (end her explanation and tightly hug me from the back)

ME(ACE) : Since I know this maybe the last time I could possibly see you. Let me say something.

IYA: Okay, say it Ace.

ME(ACE) : Your existence changed the way I view myself. Before I'm neglected, not loved nor cared. But since the day you came, my dark world light up. I LOVE YOU! Not because I owe you one. But because my heart says it.

(as I finished what I long awaited to say and set free. She loosened her hug and I feel she leave my side. But worst is she leaved me behind.)

Iya started to pack her things. As she finish packing she went away without looking back nor trying to say goodbye.

FIVE YEARS LATER

KAPOWW!! BLOG!!! THUD!!

THUD: HOORA! YAH LESBO, NEVER EVER GET NEAR MY BABE. HA!! NOT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET ANY YOU WILL TRY TO FORCE ONE.

MINDY: YEH, DONT EVER BOTHER ME LESBIE. YOU KINDA FILTHY. YUCK!! EWWW!!!

FLASHBACK (YESTERDAY AT THE MALL)

MINDY: Honn!! Can you buy me that? As well as those shirts.. (hugs tightly my left arms that makes me feel warm.)

ME(ACE) : ahheemmm... Su-sure honey..

MINDY: (peck on my lips).. I LOVE YOU

MINDY: Ahmm... Thank you honn... I will budget it. 9K for car rent and 1K for my allowance. I will buy you some souvenirs there.

ME(ACE) : I think its not enough. Here is an additional 10K.

END OF FLASHBACK

ME(ACE) : *JEEZ, WHAT CRAP I PUT UP IN MY MIND. THAT MINDY LOVES ME? I should not think that way. If a friend that well loved and cherished me left me because of what I am and felt for her. What more this girl who can have any boy swon into her, why would she be choosing me of all? *😭 😭😭*I am back to none again. No one to love and who loves me. No one who care and look after me. Is it really fate!?*

Ppeeppp!!! Peepeeppp!!!!!!!!!

SCREECH! BLOG!! THUD!!

A GIRL VOICE: Ahmm!! MS. ARE YOU OKAY!?! (worry is evident in her voice.)..

ME(ACE) : *what an angelic voice... I opened

my eyes and I can see my forever. Oopps....!! I just got beaten up earlier by my ex gf's boyfriend and now I let my heart fall again so quick. *

GIRL: AHM.. I am really sorry. Let me help you to stand.

ME(ACE) : (I stand with her help)*is this heaven already!? Am I dead already!?

GIRL: (She wave her hand that makes me go back in my sense) Is there any pain that you feel!? Let us go to the hospital. (still worry and bothered)

The girl seems to look like a Senior highschool or freshmen in college.

ME(ACE) : Ahmm, May I ask!?

GIRL: Yes, sure.

ME(ACE) : Are you okay!?

GIRL: Yes, dont worry I am fine.😊

ME(ACE): You seems got a problem in your eyes. You even hit me. I THINK YOU GOT AN EYE PROBLEM. Don't mind me, go to eye clinic and have an eye glass so this won't happen again. Huh! Hmp!

Without looking back after I say those harsh words despite her concern. I trully remorse about it.

ME(ACE) : *I like her yet why I somehow mean to her!? *

FASTFORWARD

I somehow manage to arrived at the very nick of time. There I can hear the manager announce something.

MANAGER: Guyss, work hard today and show off what you can do. Today, our new CEO will arrive. Can I count on you!?

OFFICEMATES: YES, MA'AM! ( they are in sync when they answer)

ME(ACE) : *wow, it is not typhoon season but why alot of plastics are floating here*🤭

I don't need to pretend to work. Cause I really love to do my task. For, it makes me lost into it up to the point that I forget the pain and struggle I'm into.

ENNKK!

The door opened and there I see my karma.

ME(ACE): *why of all the people who will be my new boss... Arggghh...! I should ready myself from being lay off. *

There she is guided by the manager. Roaming in the entire room filled with encoders like me. They are near me. Then our eyes meet. There is the glint of recognition in her eyes.

NEW CEO: Ms. Thomas, is our company so loose in hiring disrespectful employee. (throw a look with a grin on lips.)

MANAGER: No, Ma'am. All here were screened and well manner

NEW CEO: Okay, if what you are saying is true let me do this. YOU ARE FIRED! . (she looks at me to say Im the one she pertain)

Im in the verge of crying cause nothing seems to happen properly in my life. When she said the most outrageous words I hear in my entire life.

NEW CEO: keep all your things and follow me. Starting now you will be my personal asisstant.

My mouth left agape. The angel I see earlier turns to be a real demon.

A. N. (AUTHOR'S NOTE)

What will happen next? Let us see it on its next part. Hope you like and subscribe.

Thanks!

After she took me in as her secretary I've learned things about her.

FLASHBACK

OFFICEMATE

1: Ow... That lesbos seems to lure the new boss.

You are right. What is good into her!?

I Dont Know!

Me, neither IDK. She barely get along with us. Soon the CEO will throw her out. Nit only as being her personal assistant but also in this company.

ME(ACE) : (hearing words intently to make me feel worst while tidying up my things.)

Later after having my stuff fixed I walked heading to her office.

Knock!! Knock!!

NEW CEO: Come on in.

Twist! Click!

NEW CEO: Come and sit here. (she pointed out the vacant chair infront of her desk.)

Today you already heard you will be my personal assisstant. Do you have background or idea on what once did?

ME(ACE) : I'm not that familiar, but I will do my best to cater your needs.

NEW CEO: (she stand and get near me. We are a breath away when she say.) Since you said it lets get going.

I am too nervous waiting for the next thing. I then closed my eyes and slowly hear

Zrrzrrzrrzrrzrrzrrzrrrrrrrrr!!

NEW CEO: Hey, are you sleepy!? Here are the money, go grab us milk tea and cake. As well as, two pack lunch for us.

ME(ACE) : *CRAP! JEEZZZZZZ!!!!! what makes me think she will kiss me. You Ace the Idiot. *

NEW CEO: I know I didn't formally introduce myself to you. Let me do it now. I'm Alice Sanders. But you may call me Ali. No need for any honorifics. Since I guess you are older than me. Right, ms....... !?

ME(ACE) : Im Ace Dillinger, 30.

ALI(NEW CEO) : Okay, nice meeting you again, Ace. You may go for now. Let us discuss further your work set up later.

END OF FLASHBACK

Now Im done with the tiring tasks of a personal assistant. I run errands for her. Check and arrange her schedules. Prepare reports and needed documents. Etc.

ME(ACE) : Glad is already five(5) now.

ALI(NEW CEO) : (packing her things) You may go now. Don't wait for me.

ME(ACE) : (I walked out and head to the parking lot.)*Cause I left my motorcycle there. So earlier when I happened to got beaten up by Mindy's bf I just walk after. When i happened bump by the New Ceo aka Ali*

AT THE PARKING LOT

When I'm about to ride on my bike a hug from my back holds me.

SOMEONE: Sorry, I didn't intend to hurt you and say mean words to you. But he blackmail me, he is just a friend. Yet when he found out about us he started to demand me.

ME(ACE) : Why are you here? There is nothing to explain. I already understand that I'm no good. That there is nothing to me.... I'm just a filthy low lesbo.

MINDY: But I love you.

ME(ACE) : Is it really what you felt!? I don't think so. If you did/do have feelings for me as you said. You better opt or choose for our relationship to be found than be with a man and say harsh things to me.

ALI(NEW CEO) : Sorry if I took long, inamorata. Oww, who is she, a friend!?!

ME(ACE): (I look at her quizzically) ah.. She is my ex.

ALI(NEW CEO) : Oh, Hi! I am Alice, her new girlfriend. Thank you by the way for wasting her. At least now I got the chance to love her and show her true worth. 😁😊 (then an unexpected thing she done).

ME(ACE) :*what's with her!? * A wet, warm and sweet kiss.

MINDY: WOW! You say those words cause you already have someone. You really are a filthy lesbo. D*MN YOU!

ME(ACE): Mindy shows her real color. I'm glad I didn't gave in to her again. Thanks by the way for your help.

ALI(NEW CEO) : No, thanks please you idiot. Hahaha. Let us go home now. (she ride on my bike and that left my mouth open.)

ME(ACE): Why ride here? Don't you have car earlier?

ALI(NEW CEO) : Because you need to know my house.

ME(ACE) : Why I need to know your house!? Am I need to work still outside the company or even non-working hour.

ALI(NEW CEO) : No, its not that starting today, you will be living with me. Cause as we start next week it will be very busy. We even end up working very late. I also want you to avoid trouble. As I can see someone beat you up. Look at your bruises. (she leniently touch my bruises and a glint of an emotion I've never seen in my whole life pass through her eyes. But I guess Im just hallucinating.)

OUTSIDE HER HOUSE

ALI(NEW CEO): Go, home for awhile. I will send my driver to you. Pack all the things you might need. (a sudden hug and a warm light peck on my lips.) Don't be too long. I will eat diner along with you. (she walks inside her house as if nothing happened.)

ME(ACE) : *She must be only seeing someone to me. It just a peck. In other country it just usual. *(I drive home to do as she said)

IN MY HOUSE

Immediately as I arrived earlier I pack all the things I needed. Im just waiting for the car which will fetch me. For I dont want to keep someone waiting.

Honk! Honk!

As I see the car, I carry my stuffs. I dont want to bother anyone in carrying my luggages. When Im outside the car its door open. Then that someone who bothered my heart eversince the very first time I lay my eyes on her show up.

ME(ACE) : Why you are here? Ah.. I mean I thought its your driver who will pick me up!?

ALI(NEW CEO) : WHY!? Is there a problem if I'm the one who pick you up?? Since I've nothing to do. Plus, my household worker needs a ride to go shop for the additional stocks/supplies for the month. Hop in now.

FASTFORWARD

We arrived at her home. There I can see that we are the only person there. So I ask her.

ME(ACE) :Where are your parents? Do you have sibling/s? (as she heard my questions her eyes got filled with tears which about to shed.) *crap! I should not ask*

ALI(NEW CEO) : They are all gone.hhu... Huu..!!, I'm an orphan now. They all die in a plain crashed. Hu!! Hu!!.. A year ago when they are about to comeback after visiting my brother who happened to go with them back here. Im only left with my sister in law that is about to come home here by this month.

ME(ACE) : Sorry to know that. And I didnt intend to hurt you. (I don't know what to do.) *whattda fudge.. ACE!!* (But she get near me and lean her head towards me.. With that i hug her and kiss her on top of her head.)

I guide her on a sofa to let her rest and calm her. Then she suddenly speak.

ALI(CEO) : I know you must be hungry. Let us eat.

ME(ACE) : Okay. Let me prepare it instead. (while preparing I asked her) Do you want wine or liquor to match up with chicken galantina!? Oopss. Wait, what is your age first!?

ALI(CEO) : I'm 17, but I want to drink some liquor. Plus, I don't have work or school tomorrow.

ME(ACE) :What!? Your having school!?

ALI(NEW CEO) : Yes, Im attending regular school. I just ask for a leave. Since the matter is urgent.

ME(ACE) : Okay you can have some.. Only now. Next time I wont allow you.

There we eat and savour the meal in that diner. We eat and drink. She end up telling me things about her life. That's when we are in the living room already.

She is sitting on the couch while I choose to sit on the carpeted floor and lean my back on the sofa. We hold wine glasses along with us. Sipping its content once in awhile till we consume all.

Ending her to fall asleep cause she is already tipsy and drunk. I carry her on the second floor. There on the right landing I see a door with the name Ali. I open it and get into that door.

ME(ACE) : I guess I need to change her clothes and wipe her body to lessen the effect of the alcohol.

I wipe her and change her clothes while the lights are off. I dont wanna take advantage of her and her state. When I am about to leave there she pull me.

ALI(NEW CEO) : Dont go, please! (She grab me in a hug that let me rest on top of her. Then maybe because of the exhaustion I felt plus the effect of the liquor everything turns to black).

AT THE AIRPORT

ME(ALI) : Big sis, Im glad you are here.

/Sorry late to inform you that Im a perfect image of my brother. /

ME(ALI) : (I initiate a hug to make her feel warm)

INSIDE THE CAR

ME(ALI) : How are you big sis?

BIG SIS: I can't say yet I am fine, nor can say when I will be fine.

ME (ALI) : (I didn't try to speak for more cause I know I may say another thing that may hurt her. Yet I'm sad to let her that way.)

Sis, I got my eyes on someone. But I don't know if we have the same feelings.

BIG SIS: Wow, super. It is really great. I think no one will ever can resist you.

ME(ALI) : How can I have that person? A description suited to that person is idiot.(I say under my breath.

BIG SIS: Are you saying something,lil sis? If yes I didn't catch it.

AT HOME

ME(ALI): I wasn't able to ask the maid to clean your room so you may go there to mine. Can you help recall where it is big sis??

BIG SIS: Yes, I can still recall. So I will get there and grab some sleep. And you lil sis, can you take charge of my stuff?

ME(ALI): Sure thing big sis.

Big sis seems to be very tired. She even didn't stay along..unlike before even she just arrived she speaks with everyone.

ME(ALI) : Time surely flies. People change alot after series of events. Especially her, after losing her other half. Even I know, that there wedding is just because of convenience for both our family. *owh!!crap! Ace is in my room. Maybe big sis will be scared and surprised.*

Tak! tak! tak! tak!

Hah! Hah! Hah!

IN MY ROOM

My run is a waste. There I can see Ace and sis, hugging each other as if finding safety in each others arms.

ME(ALI) :*ahWhat is this pain in my heart?*

Then they start to talk with each other.

ACE: I miss you alot.

BIG SIS: I miss you too. And sorry for running that day. I am just surprise of what you said back then, that you love me.

ME(ALI) : (still watching them) *gosh!(covering my mouth with disbelief)

BIG SIS: I am scared by that time. Also I can't do anything cause I am about to get married back then. I don't want you to get hurt.

ACE: I know. So I didn't try to chase after you. I know there is more that what I feel that I need to consider. Coz I know you well, you always think of me first before yourself.

Now, how are you and your husband?

BIG SIS: He is already gone. He died a year ago along with his parents. While they are heading home here. (she started to cry her heart out.)

ACE: I am sorry to hear that. Hushhh!! Iya.

ME(ALI) : *greaat they are so familiar to each other. *

After awhile, due to too much crying my big sis Illysha Freya fell asleep. Ace lay her to bed. I am about to get near them when Im stopped by what is done by Ace.

TSUP!

ACE: You never change my precious Iya. (she talk to her as if she is awake after stealing a kiss on her lips)

Ace is about to stand, when she is suddenly pull by big sis. She fall on top of her while there lips touch.

ME(ALI) :Why like this? Why now when I already like someone!? After this whole time I thought I couldn't feel anything.

After awhile I go out. I wait for Ace to go out as well after the incident I witnesssed. Yet Im waiting for nothing instead. She lay beside big sis while they are hugging each other.

ME(ALI) :*Great, very great.* tsk!

DINER TIME

BIG SIS: (exchanging smile with Ace.)

ME(ALI) :Big sis, have you ever plan of getting married again? Or even have someone in your heart by now?

BIG SIS: (her smile is wipe away by my remarks.) Its only a year since I lost your brother, Calix. I can't still open up my self and heart for someone.

ACE: (her face smiling early while filled with life and blithe is currendly succumb by lament and pain.)

ME(ALI)Sorry big sis for asking that. *Why is it I feel guilty by now!? Im just curious about her feelings for my brother. *

The dining table start to turn quiet and gloomy. Then with that I decided to ask them to have a movie marathon.

There they are so close to each other. While big sis lay on Ace's lap.

ME(ALI) : *why do I feel irritated and unease? Maybe because I think big sis forget the promise she made for my dead brother. The worst case is that she even do it with a lesbian. Its kinda disgusting!*

They even laugh together. When Ace see big sis is already drifted into sleep, she carresses big sis' cheeks and planted a kiss on her forehead

ME(ALI) :*GRRR.....!! gosh no decency. She did it in front of me. The sister in law of the girl she somehow adore. *

I watch while filled with irritation. Yet Im stealing glances in them. After awhile big sis woke up and grab Ace hand. She used it to cover her eyes.

The movie marathon takes two hour before we can finish what we are watching.

ACE:(she carefully remove big sis on her lap and she stand. She carry her heading to my room.)

ME(ALI) : Wow so sweet. I won't wonder if they will sleep again side by side.

But there from afar I see Ace coming downand heading to my direction. With that to avoid looking at her I pretended sleeping.

ME(ALI) : *she smells like melon. Her warm breath touching my face. Geezzz!! my heart beat starts to beat faster. Then I can feel she envelop me with her arm and carry me somewhere. *

I slightly open one of my eyes. I can see her seriously carrying me with ease. There she put me down on my bed besid big sis.

ME(ALI) : *where she will be going!? Crap! The other room isnt ready yet. I should not pretend Im asleep. *

There she is start to fit herself on the sofa.

She closed her eyes.

ME(ALI) : (there I stand and look closer on her face. I lightly carress her cheek and I couldn't get a hold of myself. I place a peck on her lips) Why could she be so gentle and kind even she battled alot of pain in her life?

Then I decided to lay down on my bed and let myself drift into sleep.
