Chapter 2
I looked around, but Marco still wasn't there! Shit! I quickly descended to catch my bra if the water had carried it away. Luckily, Marco hadn't arrived yet! I would have fainted if he saw me half-naked! Since I'm used to swimming, I was able to retrieve my bra.
"Damn it! That scared me!" I muttered to myself while holding my bra up. My breasts were fully exposed, but fortunately, I was the only person there.
"Wow, nice breasts. Round and big!" It felt like my soul left my body when I heard a unfamiliar voice coming from somewhere.
"Wow, nice breasts. Round and big!" Until now, I couldn't get his words out of my mind, and I still felt the intense heat on my face and ears from embarrassment!
Who is that guy? I just saw him now, and it seems like he's not from here! He's too fair-skinned, as if he hasn't been under the sun! He even looks like he has foreign blood because of his height. He's taller than Marco and definitely not a local.
"W-who are you?!" My anxiety reached the sky, and I could only wish for Marco to arrive! I tightly hugged my chest with my hands to cover my nipples.
"Too late, I already saw everything," he said with a grin, seemingly amused. I almost cried in my current situation. What if he does something to me? He's so tall and he even has abs! Just like the guys I see on TV! Urgh! What am I even thinking?!
Is it right to fantasize about a stranger, especially in this situation? What if he's a pervert and does something to me? I hope not. Lord, help me!
"Kenzo, bro! Where are you?" My anxiety doubled when I heard another voice! He wasn't alone! OMG! OMG! What if they gang rape me?! I instinctively stepped back from where I was standing, and this time, I couldn't hold back my tears. My vision became blurry because of my tears.
He just stared at my face, and I couldn't read any emotion from his expression. The cold water mixed with fear made me tremble all over.
"Bro, you're just here!" I was about to see the face of the guy who spoke earlier, but the pervert in front of me suddenly moved, blocking my view! He faced his companion.
"Don't fvcking move!" he shouted at the person searching for him. I don't know if it's just my imagination or if he's really angry. I bit my lower lip, and even though I knew he wasn't talking to me, I couldn't move because of fear.
"What—" He didn't even finish what he was about to say.
"Just... just fvcking get out of here and wait for me at the mansion." I couldn't see the reaction of his companion, and I didn't understand their conversation. So, I didn't react.
"Fvck you!" That was the last thing I heard from one of the men.
"Are you done dressing up?" he asked me in a cold tone while still facing away. Well, it was obvious from my actions that I was getting dressed.
I nodded even though he couldn't see and quickly put on my bra. I emerged from the water to retrieve my t-shirt and get dressed.
"Y-yes," I stuttered my response after putting on my t-shirt. He turned to face me, and I instinctively held onto the branch of the tree where my clothes were hanging. He looked directly into my eyes, and I couldn't help but look away multiple times.
I felt embarrassed, awkward, and scared. Imagine, he saw something he shouldn't have seen, and I don't even know him! I thought he would say something, but he didn't, so he turned and walked away, gradually disappearing from my sight.
I was left sitting there, perched on the branch. It was only then that I felt the weakness in my legs due to extreme nervousness.
"Child, are you sure you won't come with us?" Mom asked me. I nodded slowly, giving her a smile to assure her that I was okay.
"Oh, alright, we'll go home with your mom then, and if it's possible, we'll bring you some gifts as long as Aling Sanya agrees. We'll be back," Dad said.
"It's okay, Dad, Mom. Enjoy yourselves." I gave them each a tight hug before they finally left.
When the man left, Marco finally arrived. I wanted to scold him for taking so long and blame him for what happened, but I quickly realized that it would be wrong.
Marco and I are friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend, so he doesn't have any responsibilities towards me. If I were to tell him that, it might reach Mom and Dad, and it would only cause them more worry. I didn't want to be a headache for them.
But he noticed the redness in my eyes and nose, and I told him it was because of the water, so he surfaced from the water. Luckily, I convinced him, and I was given time to calm down because he took a bath while giving me the fruits he brought and the bamboo filled with water.
I took a sip of water to calm myself down a bit, and then he escorted me home.
That was it, Mom and Dad came back an hour before lunch because they wanted to take me along since the workers on the hacienda were invited to join the Saavedra family's gathering.
Chapter 3"G-g-good morning, ma'am." Even though I was still confused about what was happening, I tried to gather my thoughts to greet them properly and avoid being perceived as rude.But it's really hard to get over the fact that the guy who saw my boobs at the waterfall was the Señorito! And then, suddenly, the whole surroundings became dark.And there it was, I nodded because while I was alone in the house earlier, I had a moment to think. The gathering at the Saavedra's was for the arrival of the Señorito, and the guy at the waterfall earlier looked like a stranger! What if he was one of the Señorito's guests?What if they told the Señorito about what happened at the waterfall? It wouldn't just be embarrassing for me, but also for Mom and Dad. And what if the news spreads and becomes gossip? I didn't want to be the talk of the workers on the hacienda!"You're such a killjoy!" Clara immediately confronted me as soon as she saw me sitting in Julia's stable, watching the mother and d
Chapter 4"How was your first day with the Señorito, my child?" Mom asked me while we were having dinner. I swallowed my food and took a sip of water. I wanted to tell them that I didn't want to go back tomorrow! But I knew they would be surprised if I did that.I smiled to let them know that everything was fine, and then I started to share my day with them."It was okay, Mom. I just followed the Señorito and his friends all day, and if they needed anything, they would tell me.""That's good if they're nice to you, dear." If only they knew, Mom.Nice? I don't think they know the meaning of the word! Especially that girl, Miss Andi, who was constantly clinging to the Señorito like she was his girlfriend. Clara must have been mistaken when she said that the Señorito didn't have a girlfriend because on my first day with them, I witnessed all sorts of indecent behavior. It's a mess. Here's what happened..."Good morning, Selena. How are you?" The Señora greeted me, and I don't know why, b
Chapter 5"Oh, by the way, Marco, there's a bee house there. Can you accompany me to check it?" the Señora asked, and they disappeared in front of us, leaving the Señorito and me.I didn't know what to do or say when it was just the two of us and they left. So I decided to stand up from where I was and look at the floor.Urgh! It's too awkward! I'm not the only one working on the ranch. Why didn't they choose someone else? But if I think about it, Marco and I are the only young ones, and most of the others are older, like Mom and Dad, and there are more male workers here."Are you still thinking about yesterday?" I heard the Señorito speak after a few minutes. I slowly raised my head and looked at him. Our gazes met once again. I couldn't bring myself to look away because it felt like his eyes had some kind of magnet!He slowly walked closer to me, and I couldn't escape the scent of his intoxicating cologne! You know the feeling when you just want to embrace someone because they smell
Chapter 6"The gang is planning to go to the town fiesta tonight! They told me to bring you along once we're done here at the hacienda.""I can come; I just need to ask permission from my dad—" But before I could continue, she interrupted me."You've used that excuse too many times! I've lost count of how many times you've said it but never showed up! Lena never joins our outings!""But I'm worried that Mom will be concerned if I don't ask permission." We don't even have cellphones to message each other."I already mentioned it; I bumped into Aling Saling, and she agreed!" My eyes widened."Really?" I couldn't believe it and asked her again. She nodded in response."Yes, that's why you don't need to panic anymore. Aling Saling even said..." She mimicked my mom's voice. Sigh."Take care and don't stay out too late." That's what my mom often says when I'm going somewhere.Clara and I chatted for a while before deciding to return to the mansion to ask permission from the Señorito if I co
Chapter 7I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this feels like the longest ride to the town. As far as I remember, it only takes about twenty minutes to reach the town using Mang John's farm truck, but why does it feel so long now that we're riding the Señorito's luxurious car?"They said they're waiting near the fountain in the middle of the plaza," Clara whispered to me. I suddenly wondered if there was a parking lot for the Señorito."Where do you think the Señorito will park?" I quietly responded to her. "It's a fiesta in town, so the parking lots might be full. I don't really know where else the Señorito can park." When I looked ahead of us, Clara and I saw that the Señorito was busy looking for a parking space. From inside the window, I could see that the parking lots were indeed full. "Kia keeps messaging, asking where we are," Clara said again. "Tell her we're here, just looking for parking for the Señorito." Clara leaned closer to me, and she whispered, "They're gett
Chapter 8It was only then that I realized that we were still holding hands, but it wasn't just a casual hand-holding. We were doing the theme of holding hands while walking. My eyes widened, and my whole face grew warm with embarrassment!I quickly pulled my hand away from the Señorito's hand and distanced myself slightly from him, overwhelmed by embarrassment."I-I'm sorry, Señorito!" It was only now that I understood why our friends were looking at us that way."I-I was just excited to see you..." I averted my gaze from the Señorito and continued what I wanted to say."I didn't realize that I was already holding your hand, Señorito. I'm sorry." I stammered, and my eyes took on a more masculine look when the Señorito took his hand out of his pocket and gently patted my head.My lower lip trembled, and I felt my whole face grow even warmer with what the Señorito did, while he stared directly into my eyes.Urgh! What are these weird feelings I'm experiencing? Why am I only realizing t
Chapter 9"I want this, this, and this." His eyes widened as he pointed to the fishballs, kikiam, and chicken balls."Alright, I'll get them for you, Señorito." I happily responded and used the stick I was holding to skewer a piece of fishball. Just like what I did with the kwek-kwek, I blew on it first and then dipped it in the sauce provided by the vendor before offering it to the Señorito, taking it straight from the frying pan.As I enjoyed feeding the Señorito, I completely forgot that we had been separated from our friends."They're so sweet together.""I wish everyone would feed each other, even if it's just with fishballs, it's a date.""Ate is so lucky, Kuya only has eyes for her. I hope I find a guy like that, who only looks at me even with all those girls trying to get his attention.""I hope you find someone like that too." They laughed subtly, and I discreetly glanced at the group next to us. I wondered who they were talking about, but my eyebrows furrowed when I saw them
Chapter 10As we continued walking, I didn't realize that we had already arrived at the park. There were only a few people around, mostly couples. The night lights hanging on the trees were lit, creating a romantic ambiance.We kept walking until we found an empty bench. It was perfect because we had been walking for quite some time, so I suggested that we sit down."Señorito, let's stay here for a while." I instinctively pulled the Señorito towards the bench, and luckily, he followed, holding my hand as we walked. When I saw myself and the Señorito sitting on the bench, I didn't notice that we were sitting so close together.We spent a few minutes just staring at the dark water of the lake in the park. My feet no longer hurt, so I thought about asking the Señorito if we should go home if we couldn't find Clara. He was slightly squinting his eyes because of the lights, so I closed my eyes a bit to avoid being blinded.My eyebrows furrowed when I noticed that the Señorito seemed preocc
