Val POV š
[On Road/12:31am]
We are back inside car, ri-ding home. The p@rty is just too boring that’s why we had to leave early and what annoys me is the fact that Mr. Cutie’s girlfriend didn’t leave his sight and he didn’t even notice me.
I even went lur-k-ing around the male restroom pretending to be pas-sing by because I thought he will come around but I was wrong. It’s like his girlfriend is stĀ©pping him from using the restroom.
“We’re going to my house right? She ask me driving.
” I have to go home. “I reply and rest my back as I remember how Mr. Cutie was smiling all throu-gh the p@rty. He look very handsome and attrac-tive and God have mercy because I could not stĀ©p starring at hisl-ips. Those S-xyl-ips! Wish he can just lock them on mine.
I don’t mind becoming a second option but what I do know is, if he ask me out gosh, I won’t waste another second to say YES.
“We’re here. ” She halt the car in front of her house gate.
“I’ll see you later right? ” She said and un-hook the seatbelt. She got down from the car and I waited till she got inside.
Don’t be confused, the car is mine, I’ve been using the car since I was 18. Dad got it for me few days after my 18th birthday.
My name is Valentina Montez and how did a citizen of New York ends up with a Spanish surname?
Well, here is the story šššš
I never knew my real dad and according to Mom’s story, he ran away when he learnt that she was pregnant. I wonder what kind of man will do that to the woman he claims to love.
The real story here is, Mom went for a job interview in Quezito but was rejected because she wasn’t having the qualification required. She met Mr. Mauricio in an elevator that’s supposed to take her down floor. They got to talk and he revealed to her that he owns the company. Mom got the job!
Mr. Mauricio Montez was a Spanish who works in New York, he has businesses all over the world except Africa of course.
Speaking of my Dad, he was the best thing that happened to me.I was frightened when Mum wants to marry him. Not because he wqs mean to me but of course a normal child should be scared of been raised by another man and you’ll have to call him your father.
He proved me wrong as he treated me like his own daughter. I was enjoying his Kindness and love until Mom got pregnant.Now I thought my world is about to crumble as the love and affection starts to fade and my mom’s and the twins: Mirrah and Adrian c@mĀ£ forthforth and it was given to them.
I start to hate them and as I grew up, I got to un-derstand that he was just trying to balance the equation and not once has he tolerate the twins to disobey me.
‘It doesn’t matter if she’s your stepsister. The second you lash at her again with your stupid ton-gue then consider yourself fatherless. ‘He has warned the twins and since then, they’ve been treating me like their big sister and that’s why I never missed my real Dad. I don’t even know if he’s alive.
When we received the news about his death we were all devastated especially mom who had refused to do anything. It’s a miracle she didn’t fall sick and that’s why she has devote her time to Quezito. She calls the company ‘her second life’.
______________
I made sure to park the car where I won’t have trouble driving it out and hop down. I wish they’re all asleep just to avoid conversation.
When I see rays of light coming out from the living room, I know someone is awake and guess who is… Of course it’s Mrs. Montez.
I opened the door gently so it won’t make that annoying noise and I succeeded. I stood by the entrance to see Mom sitting on the ground, she’s wearing glas-ses and two switched on l@ptĀ©ps are in her front.
Looking for a workaholic, Mrs. Montez is at your service!
I have to ti-ptoe to my room, she can’t see me.
“1:29am.”
I stĀ©pped on my track and turn to her.
“Hi Mom. “I wave to her smiling.
“Where are you coming from? ” Her attention still on what she was doing.
“Vera’s. We were together all day. ” I said walking to her.
“I called Vera’s house and it went straight to voicemail. ”
I sit on the sofa behind her and exhale. I cross my legs to re-move my shoes.
“That’s because we went to Tess’ p@rty. “I pu-ll off the right leg’s shoe and now the left.
“Is that alcohol? “She turn her face to me and lower the glas-ses to rest on her nose.
“Have you been drinking?! ”
Did I mention that she hates Alcohol and that she made Dad stĀ©p drinking?! Guess I must have left that p@rt of the story.
“I’m not drun!kmum. ” I said but she did not turn her face away.
“Just a little ti-psy. “I added demonstrating with my f!ngersš
” You should stĀ©p going to unnecessary p@rties Val, your priority should be your siblings. “Here we go again with lectures about ‘priority’
“Can we save that tĀ©pic for another day Mum? I’m really tired and I nee-d my beauty sleep. ” I said getting up.
“I have a proposal for you. ”
I stĀ©p and turn to her.
“No thanks I’ll pas-s. “I know it has to do with Quezito. That company is always demanding my attention and this time around, I’m not giving it.
“Wont you at least ask what the proposal is all about? ”
“It’s not like Quezito has changed demands or has it? ” I roll my eyes. She’ll ask me to work as a model again and I won’t have time to socialize and look for my Mr. Cutieš
“Yes it has although not completely. ”
Wow, what’s new?!
“What’s lastest? ”
“We got a proposal from WELLERS and they want to p@rtner with us.Their company is crushing and they’re looking up to us to help them raise it. Your role here Val is to stand as our model until the contract is done. ”
And she said Quezito’s demands has changed.
“I told you alre-ady Mom that I’m not interested. I don’t want to model for anyone not even Quezito. Why don’t you ask Mirrah, I’m sure she’ll be more than willing to help. ”
“No Val, not Mirrah. You know how she can get and I don’t want her to get involved with Quezito yet. She’ll b!ow off. ”
Yea, that’s true. Once she gets the glimpse of popularity my sister will k!ssschooling goodbye.
“Just this once plea-se. ” She said ma-king those eyes.
Thesame eye she used to lure Adrian into the kitchen, same eyes made me accept admission into college even though I never wanted to go to college.
Those eyes can make you do what you don’t want to just like right now.
“What is in for me? “I ti-ghtĀ£Ć± my face while she smiles.
“A trip to India. ”
I roll my eyes. India that I’ve alre-ady gone in my dreams. Mtchewwwwww
“See you in the morning. ” I said and climb up

Kurt Pov š„
[Next Morning/WELLERS Mansion š”]
I warned Mitchie never to invite me to a boring p@rty as of last night. Everything was just dull and worst of it, she didn’t even know the person hosting it.
I’m in the bathroom brushing when I heard Dad calling. I wash my mouth, tie the blue towel I stole from Mitchie’s room round my w@!st and walk out to see him in my room alre-ady.
“Good morning Dad. ”
“Good news Kurt. ” Okay with Dad smiling this early morning that means the goodnews is really a good news.
“What about Dad? ” I ask him.
“Quezito just approved the proposal! ”
Now I’m confused. What is he talking about?
“The thing is, I asked my secretary to find an alibi and he found Quezito. They have been existing for 52years but got established in New York 20years ago. He sĀ£nt them a proposal last week. ”
“Quezito? How come I never heard of them? ” I wonder.
“That’s because they’re not selling any product neither are they producing any. They mainly as-sist companies like ours to advertised our goods. When I was going throu-gh our e-mail I saw the message! I am really excited Kurt! This means our company still has a chance. “He said and I reply with a smile.
” You’re represĀ£nting us Kurt as a model. ”
“Model? Dad?! ”
“I know but it’s just till the contract. You’ll be fine. ” He said and my phone start to ring.
“Can I go take my bath now? They’re calling from work. “He smile and I walk into the bathroom.
Quezito! Quezito!! Quezito!!!
I don’t know why the name is ringing in my head.
