Chapter 2: Date

I'm currently in the kitchen with the maids, and I just finished assisting them in preparing our lunch.
"You're still Thaea we knew before, and nothing had changed," Yaya smiled.
Sandra interrupts, "Thena doesn't like us." She is one of the maids here, and she is about two years older than us.
"Your sister is peevish," she chuckled quietly, and I let her.
"I thought you might want to eat first, Ma'am Thaea and we followed later," Erika said, and I leaned in to show that I disagree.
"But….." They didn’t let me continue to explain.
"Don't mind us my dear, just eat." Yaya Helena conveyed calmly.
"But..." They wouldn't let me finish explaining.
"Don't worry about us, my dear, just eat." Yaya Helena said calmly.
I simply nodded in response because I won't to compel them for accompany me while eating. I closed my eyes and began to pray.
"I really miss the meal that Yaya cooked for me, which seemed delicious," I said as chewing the food she had prepared.
Yaya glowed, "Why don't you stay here instead living in Manila alone, my dear?" She inquired me abruptly. I stop for a second from eating.
Yaya's voice was tinged with concern, and I couldn't help but touched by what she said.
"I'm more at ease there than here, because my parents are always looking at my sister; she has brighter skin than I do, and Athena is a smart, beautiful, and sophisticated woman of whom they can be proud." As I stated and proceeded to my food again.
"It's not like that, Althaea. Your parent loves you both." Yaya added, hoping to persuade me that my parent truly love me.
"They weren't treating us equally, Yaya Helena; what's the reason for me to stay here? If nothing had happened to Athena, I wouldn't go back unless there were some reason." Trying to defend myself as if I don't truly feel their love and attention.
A few minutes, Yaya Helena's cellphone abruptly rang, and she looked at me before answering it.
"Jestoni," she said, pointing to me with her phone.
"Is Sir Greige here?" Yaya asked quietly, but we heard her.
"All right, just let him in." She said to our security guard.
When Yaya mentioned that guy was here, my eyes just widened in surprise. It's a good thing we have a security guard outside. Mom and Dad forbid anyone from entering mansion on the spur of the moment. Before you step in here, you must first ask a permission from Yaya Helena.
"He's on the way," Yaya said softly, and I hurriedly finished my meal.
"Why is he here?" After eating, I already had some water and drank it until I heard someone’s footsteps coming towards our place.
"Hi mi cielo." Greige greeted me in a lively voice, the same as Yaya Helena and the other maids. "Good afternoon everyone."
I showed him my confused look. "We will go somewhere. Kindly prepare your things now." He ordered, but couldn’t absorb what he meant to say. It didn't unexpected me to do so.
I stood up and dared to ask, "Where are we going?" Instead he answered my question, he suddenly pulled me away from the dining area.
I let him stop walking and asked. "Can you please tell me where are we going? I need to know." Ignoring my questions, he quickly walked straight towards my room.
"Get ready and pack your things you need." He commanded. "Just one more question and I’ll enter your room now, whether you like it or not. "He seriously stated the authority
"I actually got your parents’ permission earlier, so you don’t have to worry about anything." He added then, but I was still confused.
"All right, I’ll get ready. Please wait for me for thirty-minutes." It's just a quick reply.
"Ok fine, but you need to be hurried because night will catch up with us on the way. "He declared while still glancing at my eyes as he examined me.
Exactly thirty minutes had passed when I closed the door. It was almost bewildered me when this crazy guy appeared in a flash behind me and voluntarily grabbed my knapsack. He walked away and I followed him too.
When we are here inside our car, I don't hesitate to ask him again.
"Where are we going? Maybe my question can be answered now." I insisted on the high pitch of my voice so he could answer me honestly.
"We’re driving to Haraya Beach Resort." He replied directly as he gaped at me through the mirror so that I avoided his eyes. I said nothing after.
"Here we are." I just woke up when I heard Greige’s voice, my eyes momentarily blind until it was clear. I read the sign where the name of the place could be read as we passed by.
When we entered the first-class hotel, the woman took us to the designated rooms and handed us the keys.
"Take this one. You and I on the other side." As Greige instructed, I precisely nodded. He helped me carry my stuff, hence he handed me a key for my room.
"Here’s your key. Just call me on your phone if you need anything." He reminds me.
"Ok, mi cielo." As imitating Athena’s sweetness to her boyfriend by purely using that endearment. I have no choice but to do that, even though deep down I am disgusted. He smiled and approached me.
"Don’t you know I’m glad when you said that again to me? Hopefully, you’ll forgive me, so here it is to invite you on a date."
My eyes just blinked at what I heard from this crazy guy.
"Alright, I understand that. I forgive you now." Replying with a smile so that our conversation will stop.
"Thank you much and it is so nice that you believing me now. You used to always scolding and hurting me all over again. You assumed that I was dating some other women. It probably the reason why I didn’t pay attention to you after." It makes me wonder why he needs to say it. Anyway, my sister is a very demanding person.
"You may now take your rest first. I know you’re tired from the trip." I diverted the conversation while still straining my smile on my lips.
"Alright, same to you too." He said this before walking away.
I closed the door as well and placed the knapsack near the bed, then just sat.
I didn’t realize that it was already six o’clock in the evening when I saw the time on my cellphone. Lying down while looking up at the ceiling and relaxing.
In the middle of my thoughts, I get annoyed by someone who knocks on the door. I quickly opened until I saw Greige with his forehead furrowed.
"Why did it take so long?" He interrogated me impatiently.
"I just woke up." I respond to him with one hand in the sense.
I was about to speak when he suddenly pulled me out of the room and the door automatically closed.
Then he took me to the place where the food was ready. The meal that was already served around that exhausted me. I feel hungry now.
"You may now take a seat, mi cielo." I just bounced and followed him.
"Do you like it?" He asked while he was staring into my eyes.
I literally don’t know, but I felt like something in his gaze, so I avoided him. I’ll never fall in love with Greige,. even if his appeal seems strong. It can’t happen.
"Is that how you really love me?" I almost choked when I heard him speaking again. It made me come back to trance.
"You’re feeling. Nope." I denied it. What a joke. He thought that I was dreaming about him.
"Don’t deny it. You’re really even better and more will fall on me out of my wealth and good looks."
"Oh no, Greige, is that how you think of me?" I giggled at the sarcastic remark. "Aren’t you ashamed of that?"
"Hahaha mi cielo, Athena." He chuckled.
"You’re vain." I whispered in disgust to myself, but he still heard it.
"You just can’t admit it." He was still laughing at his statement. 
"Your self-confidence is too high, uh?"
"Why? Isn’t that true? Aren't you head over heels in love with me, you are not? "
"No." So suddenly, his smile disappeared from his lips.
"Why? Is there anyone else?" There’s a sadness in his voice. What did I say? It feels like a lot of guilt to me because of my words.
"I noticed last night that you seemed cold to me. You don’t look interested now when I am teasing you. " He added.
"It’s not like that. I’m just dumbfounded, ok. I am sorry." I tried to apologize but failed.
His cellphone abruptly rang, so he stood up and walked away momentarily into our place. Maybe it’s about their business again.
Is this my day with my twin, right? Why is he still replacing that work from this date?
 Five minutes later, Greige came back with a bitter expression now on his face.
"Let’s eat." He said it directly, and I just obeyed. I broke the silence between the two of us.
"Who called?" I asked.
"My secretary." His brief answer.
I have no intention of speaking after that. But in several minutes, I tried to talk to him again.
"Mi cielo?" As I whispered, "Sorry for what I said earlier. It doesn’t intend to hurt you. "
Ugh, what am I saying? Isn't it awkward that I have loved someone else, but I was supposed to talk to him like this?
I have to apologize for what I said. It’s merely hard to pretend to be someone else so that it comes out of my mouth all of a sudden.
He looked at me, then stood up in his chair.
"Let’s take a rest now, and I may see you tomorrow." He said before walked away and left me.
Despite that, I still wanted to know a lot about my twin and why she ended up in the accident. I am thinking about her as I am heading to my bedroom.
