Chapter 8

DANIEL

When I finished peeling I noticed that Nicole and Sanda did not come back yet which I was wondering about. I looked down and my eyes widened when I saw someone with a little hair that looked like it had just been cut.


Oh shit!
Not my hair! I immediately turned my back and I almost knocked Sandra off the stool she used. I immediately grabbed her so she wouldn't fall from the stool.


"What are you doing there?!
Aren't you thinking that you might fall for or hurt yourself?" I can't stop raising my voice at her because I'm just worried. What if she suddenly falls on the stool or hurts herself using the shave she was holding.


"N-nothing, Daniel," Sandra only replied and bowed slightly as if convicted of what she was doing.


When I remembered that she had shaved my hair, I immediately gave the fruit to Jeremy, "That's all good, Jeremy.
You can eat it," and I hurried into the bathroom to look at myself.


I repeated to see if anything was different in my hair but nothing changed much.
Maybe Sandra shaved a little at the back.

Those kids gave me a heart attack! What if they will be hurt by what they are doing? Even though what they give me is bad, I can't help but worry.


They are young so they need care and patience.
I washed my hands before going out of the bathroom where Kath was already in the kitchen and her siblings is no longer there.


She smiled when he saw me but suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a frown, "What happened?
I seem to have noticed that something has changed in your hair today?"


"Hmm?
" I was wondering because she noticed that. If I were myself I wouldn't notice and notice that my hair has been shaved a little.


"I said if you did something to your hair?
"


"I-It's nothing.
It was just shaved a little bit --" my eyes immediately widened in shock when I suddenly said that. Argh! Why did I suddenly say that? I don’t want her to worry about her siblings anymore.


"What?
" she wiped his face and closed his eyes, "Sandra must have done it again."


"How did you know that?
Did you see her shave my hair?"


"It's not like that, but she's always like that when I bring some guy friends.
I already have a sign of each one of them," she said suddenly and immediately I went to the living room and I looked for my wallet and Kath said left in the Kitchen.

KATH

"Sandra!" I called angrily and it was good that this woman approached me immediately.


"What's that?
" here we are again with the annoying feeling that they look innocent as siblings!


"What are you doing and--" I stopped talking when I smelled something.
It smells like fire and it just came from here in the Kitchen.


I searched for the source and my siblings followed.
When I looked in our oven I noticed it was open so I immediately turned it off, "Nicole, what's inside the oven now?"


I could barely see Daniel at the door, busy rummaging through his bag.
I just closed my eyes tightly when I realized what a bullshit Nicole was doing!


"Ugh, Nicole!
Really?! UGH! I can't believe you!" I left them all because I was disgusted! I saw that he was still looking for his wallet in the bag so I immediately approached, "Are you looking for your wallet?"


He turned to me, "Yes.
Did you happen to see it?"


"Okay, my brothers and sisters got it.
It's already toasted! UGH! I'm sorry. How much money is in there? I'm already guilty of what they're doing. It's nice to adopt someone else!"


He laughed as if nothing bad had happened.
Hello? It's his wallet and money is toasted, for sure! "It's only three hundred but don't you worry about it. It looks like they have a conscience," he said and immediately showed the money and his cards, "They only took my wallet."


"But Daniel, it's still embarrassing for you.
Even if I want to be angry with them, I can't because they are my siblings."


"Kath, I already told you.
It's fine with me! I have lots of wallets at home, don't you worry."


"It's still embarrassing for you.
"


"It's okay.
I understand them," and he managed to smile at everyone he faced.


"Are you still okay?
I'm sure you're having a hard time getting along with my siblings. I'm also used to hearing from others."


"No.
I'm really fine, Kath. Don't worry about me. I can manage."


I didn't know what to do but I was also very happy because he didn't leave my side.
I don't know why he did all of this but I can say that he is not like the others.


We just sat in the living room and watched television while my siblings were in their respective rooms as well.


In a few moments, I noticed that mom has arrived, so I opened the gate for her and parked her car.
When he came down, he also saw Daniel and greeted him, "Hello, nice to meet you, Daniel."


"Good evening," he immediately waved to my mommy, "Oh Mrs.
Luz, I would have asked your permission if I could take her to a party? We have a party from our block in the Accountancy Program."


My mom smiled and nodded.
I know she will agree because she doesn't forbid me from everything, "Of course, it's possible!"


"Thank you so much.
"


"All right, mom.
Now we're leaving, we're just waiting for you."


"Oh go ahead, be careful.
You'll take care of her Daniel," she said and turned to me and whispered, "I feel like that he's the one."


I just laughed and we left immediately.
Daniel opened the door of his car for me and I got in.

At our ride towards the party, we just kept talking and laughing. I don't know but I felt so relieved and comfortable whenever Daniel is with me. In other words, I was light-hearted with him and I love spending time with him.

In the few weeks I have known and been with him, I've never felt like this when I'm with my ex-boyfriend.


Every time he touches me, there is something I can feel that I can’t explain what is it.
I am so happy when I am with him and I am sure that I love him already.


Yes, I am fragile but I don't feel that deeply about men.
I like them easily but my feelings just disappear immediately, which is why I haven’t been able to date them yet.


If Daniel ever will court or ask me out,  I won't flinch and I will date him right away!
He will be mine.


Just a few seconds later, I noticed that he had stopped at a large house.
It's not a house for me, maybe it's a mansion. The owner of this house is wealthy.


"Whose house is this?
" I asked Daniel who was busy handing a gift to the back of his car once he looked at me.


"Oh, this is Rick's house or probably mansion," he replied and I just nodded.
Daniel's friends are really rich, even though maybe Daniel is rich too. I can see in their clothes that they are so rich and to think that they are models of the school.


He got out of his car and immediately went to my side to open the door for me.
What a gentleman indeed! He held out his hand as well and I gladly accepted it.


When I held his hand I seemed to feel the strange electricity flowing through my system again, but I didn't mind about it and I just flashed a smile at him.


When we entered the huge gate, a lot of people were already at the party.
Other women who Daniel immediately notice his arrival.


"OMG!
Daniel is already here!"


"He's handsome!
Please, be mine, Daniel!"


"I saw that he is with someone.
Who is that girl?"


"That's our new classmate, Kathryn Silvenia.
"


"The both of them are close since her first day at school.
Gosh, my baby is already taken!"


"Well, they look good together.
"


"No way!
Daniel and I are better than her!"


Come to think that they are already college students, but still really interested in gossipping but I just let it slide and Daniel doesn't seem to hear anything because he's just looking for his friends while holding my hands.


"Captain!
" I turned to a habit and we saw that Rick was already there with his friends. Daniel pulled me towards them and also made friends.


"Hey!
Rick, you don't seem to have that many guests, do you?" he was philosophizing with his best friend so the rest of us laughed as well.


"Hey, you know that those tails are always everywhere," said all the colleagues.
It's also because they just want to see the basketball team, especially Daniel and Rick, they're the only ones who are kind of famous at school.


"Hi, Kath!
You're so beautiful today! You seem to be preparing for tonight, right?" Jessie teased me so I just laughed.


"Hey, of course not!
Daniel just told me about this party earlier."


"Of course, why are both late?
Aren't you aware that the party starts at 6 PM?"


"Since the two of you are the only one who's late, here's your food," Princess handed over some food for Daniel and me.


Daniel accepted, "Thank you.
We were late because I accompanied Kath to their house earlier until her mom came home from work."


I was surprised when Rick suddenly coughed and immediately poured water into his glass.
When he was pretty okay, he immediately asked Daniel, "Why are you in such a rush, bro? Are you two alone at Kath's place?"


"OMG!
Did something happen to you that nothing should have happened?!" Jessie added while still covering her mouth.


I rolled my eyes and my brain laughed.
This is the effect of the two being lovers and Jess has influenced the mischief of her boyfriend Rick.


"What are you two thinking?
I'm going to punch you right there, bro," Daniel frowned and I could tell he was cute on that side, "I just went with her because she's still taking care of her five siblings. Oh, please don't be surprised! There are seven of us in her house and we were waiting for her mom to come home at 7 PM so that's it, we're late."


"It's good to be clear!
"


"I'm sorry, bro!
Come on Daniel! Kath, I'll just borrow your boyfriend first! We'll just talk!" Rick immediately pulled Daniel away from us.


Even though I want to be with him, I'm also happy with the girls.
We talked about stuff and gossip not until the topic suddenly came to me,


"You know what Kath?
You and Daniel are a thing. As in!"


"Of course!
Daniel is not into women and I've known him for a long time. He's not gay but he is really not interested in those women, except for us because our parents all know each other so we are friends," Princess replied, "And I saw him super close to a woman who is you and you said that he was the one who made the first move, right? To me back then, Daniel wasn't that sweet!"


"Why?
Do you have feelings for him?" I asked him. Alas, I don't want a rival. Kidding aside!


"Well, I used to have a crush on him!
Who wouldn't, right? A lot of people like him, in case he's stuck when it comes to women!" I remember when we first met, he almost shouted at me but when he saw my beauty he also became gentle.


"It's a pity, why haven't you dated him before?
After all, you're quite good for each other."


"Nah, he doesn't like me back.
But, hey! That is in the past. I'm satisfied with Earl."


"Ah, you and Earl are dating?
I just now figured it out."


"Yes!
We've been together for two years now. He's been courting me for a long time until I was sure that he was the one I love. I was still madly in love with Daniel," she laughed at her stories that were moved on, "But what I said is true, you guys matched together."
