“What are you doing in my room?” He yelled in anger as he glared at me.
“I…um… I’m so sorry…I…I was looking for Elvis’s room and…um… ended up in here…I thought this was his room…. I’m very sorry…I should… um… probably get going now.” I stuttered my response.
I was fu-cking scared right now. This guy could possibly kill me in here and no one will even notice.
Now I see why Dorcas had asked me to stay away from his room and Mason’s.
I was about taking a step towards the door when I heard his voice.
His voice sent chills down my spine. In fact I stopped breathing for a moment.
“Stop right there.” He ordered. I slowly turned to around to look at him. He took some few steps towards me. “Tsk,You thought this was Elvis’s room then walk in here and after looking around you didn’t get the memo that this wasn’t his room but instead you got the memo to look into someone else’s stuff. Is that what you are telling me?”
God. He was so different.
Different from the guy I met at the sto-re room.
Different from the guy I fell in love with.
Different from the guy I am still in love with.
For a moment I wanted to believe that he was a different person. And that maybe he was just a doppelgänger of him but I will only be deceiving myself if I think that.
He was clearly the same person. But how come the guy I met at the sto-re room and this guy have different character?
“Well, you forgot to say the most important part…I said I was sorry.” I said in a whisper looking down at my feet.
If I look at those glaring eyes of his… i might just poop in my pan-ts out of fear.
“What? Do you think this is a joke? You can lose your job for this single act of yours!”
That made me look up at him.
⏱️Keep this in mind, do not go into Malcolm’s or Mason’s room if you want to still keep your job⏱️
fu-ck, how could I forget Dorcas’s warning. She had told me that earlier.
“I’m very sorry. I promise never to come into your room ever again. But please do not let them fire me. Please I beg of you.” I pleaded going down to my knees.
I know this was humiliating but I have no choice.
I needed this job more than ever.
I need to take care of Tyson and send him to a good school so he would get the education i couldn’t get.
It’s been three years since I last saw Jennifer.
Yeah, I had disown her but Tyson never did.
He was still her brother so why haven’t she drop by once to visit him?
Does she hate us that much?
Has she forgotten about us and move on?
Honestly, I would be the biggest liar if I say I don’t miss my sister.
I miss her like crazy. I still love her so much and wish that everything that happened never took place.
She was my sister after all.
But does she miss me also?
Does she miss us?
Does she regret her actions for treating us like trash?
I still can’t find an answer to those questions no matter how ha-rd I try.
Now here I was, kneeling in front of the one guy that captivated my heart and made me fall so ha-rd for him.
But here was the question, if I had told him that I was mask girl, would it change anything?
Would he want to be with me?
Does he even remember me?
“Do not come into my room or touch my stuff ever again. I would forgive you just this once but next time you repeat this shit…I won’t forgive you. Ever. Be warned. Now get out.”
I quickly got up to my feet and walked out of the room.
What a jerk.
How can he be this ruthless and wicked? How can he treat a woman like that?
Even if I wasn’t mask girl, does that still give him the right to treat me like that?
I stomped my feet angrily before walking down the stairs to the living room.
i could hear voices from the dinning room. And one of those voices have to be Elvis.
That cow.
If he had just woken up from bed in peace I wouldn’t have gotten humiliated like that.
I walked over to them. As soon as they saw me, they all smiled.
“Hey tiny girl.” Johnny said, smiling.
I didn’t answer him but instead turn to look at Elvis who was smiling at me.
“Am I smiling right now?” I questioned, glaring at him now.
He smile suddenly fades and turned into a confuse look.
“What happened?”
“If you had just woken up in peace I wouldn’t have gotten into a wrong room and get humiliated like that! It’s all your fault.” I was pointing my index finger at him.
Okay, I know I’m playing with my job right now but I don’t think Elvis or Johnny or Denise would want to fire me.
They like me. Unlike some people I know. Especially the one who claim to love me!
But mask girl and me are both the same person.
Well, I have my reasons for that, okay?
I know it’s quite weird having a conversation with my thoughts but this what happens when you get humiliated and get treated like a trash.
“What did I do? What’s my fault?” Elvis asked, confuse.
“You…you…” I don’t even know what to say. It wasn’t entirely his fault so why was I blaming him?
Oh, shut up!
“You guys should just go in and get ready for work. Mr Joe had just send in your schedules. And as for you Elvis, don’t forget to show me your room!” And with that said, I walked out before they could say any thing.
Ah. I love my life.
What a sarcasm, Tsk!
????????????????????????????????????????
“How is the photoshoot going?” Mr Joe asked as he approached me.
“Great.” I replied.
He stood beside me and watches the photographer taking photos of the five Stars.
“I’m glad that you are handling your job well.” He said, breaking the few minutes of silences.
I smiled. “Thank you sir. I’m so happy that you are glad.” Does that word even make sense?
He nods his head. “Good. so how is your first day at work going?”
I shrugged. “Not bad. Only just that I got into a little problem with….”
“Malcolm?”
How does he know that? Did Malcolm reported me to Mr Joe?
“How….how did you know that?” I stuttered.
He chuckled and slowly turned to face me. I was also facing him as well.
“Malcolm is good at belittling people. Mason is another person entirely. Do you know why I got a personal a-ssistant for them?”
“Because they needed one to run their affairs for them?”
“Well, that’s part of the reason but not entirely the reason.” He started walking out of the room. I quietly followed him from behind.
“What is the main reason?”
“They are the main reason.” He replied, stoping in his track in front of the balcony.
I was standing by his side.
Paparazzi were outside. We could see them from where we stood.
“I don’t get.”
“Those guys in there are very tough. They are very stubborn. They do whatever they want caring less about what I’m going to say or what the director is going to say. So….we decided to get them a personal a-ssistant. Someone who can tame them and help them make a right decision.”
“And you think I would make the best choice?”
He laughed softly then shrugged. “I didn’t choose you, remember? The guys did. Who knows? Maybe they saw something in you.”
What could they have possibly see in me? Because trust me I’m no good.
I have a very tough life. I’ve never had a boyfriend. The one guy who I love doesn’t even know what I look like. And most importantly, I’m not a fan of them.
Thank you, my dear subconsciousness of reminding me how much of a failure I am.
Tsk, stupid.
Mr Joe placed his hand on my shoulder and squee-zed it a little.
“I have an a-ssignment for you…. If you can tame Malcolm and Mason and change them from who they are now then I will pay you one million dollars plus your salary. Those two guys are the most stubborn ones. Could you do that?”
One million dollars? Plus my salary?
God. There was no need for me to think it twice.
“I could try.”
“Good.” He smiled then walked out.
I could do it, right?
My subconscious was right. But I have to try.
I need the money.
I can’t back down.
????????????????????????????????????????
“You guys were really amazing today. Well done.” I said to them as we got into the van.
“Right? I know I’m amazing. I mean, girls are always tripping for me.” Elvis said as he sat down beside me.
I was sitting down beside Elvis. Johnny and Denise were behind us while Malcolm and Mason are at the back.
Malcolm hasn’t said anything to any of us aside from Mason. Those two are really close but are the weirdest.
Indeed, birds of the same feathers flocks together.
How can I forget?
“Um, Mason and Malcolm, you guys were amazing as well.”
Silent.
I hate my subconsciousness.
“They hardly flow with us. They are always like that. Malcolm always talk to Mason or the manager, which is optional or…Kara.”
“Kara?”
“Shut up, Denise.” That was Mason’s voice.
Strangely, that name sounds so familiar.
Kara…
Where did I hear that name from?
⏱️What are you doing here? Kara was so worried!⏱️
Yes. Kara.
He’s dating her now?
I knew it!
He never loved him.
He only lied to me. Maybe he only just wanted to get into my pan-ts.
Idiot!
He was nothing but a liar.
God, I should never have believed him. I should never have fallen for his cheap lie.
I wish my feelings for him were also a lie then we would have been even.
I rested my head against the headrest and shut my eyes closed.
My heart hurts.
I had made the right decision in keeping my identity from him.
It’s better for mask girl to die and no longer exist than for her to get humiliated.
Shut up, do you need to tell me that? Do not bring that matter up again. Ever.
I’m weird.
I know.
????????????????????????????????????????
“I’m home!” I yelled at the top of my voice as i walked into the house.
“Over here!”
I walked over to the kitchen and found Cherry washing the dishes but Tyson was no where to be seen.
As if she could see my disturb look she said.
“He just fell asleep after waiting for you for hours. How was your first day at work?” She asked.
I shrugged. “Fine?”
“Fine? Just fine? It can’t be just fine when it has to be something related to the five Stars. You are their personal a-ssistant, girl. That’s very huge. I would kill to get that position.”
I gulped.
“Haha. Just kidding.”
Well, I told Cherry about my job. She was so surprised when she heard that I would be working for the five Stars.
She had even pleaded with me to get her an autograph of Malcolm.
And before you guys starts questioning me…No, I didn’t tell her the other part of me and Malcolm’s little secret.
She doesn’t need to know that.
“Do not joke with ms like that again. Do you know how creepy that sound. Ugh, I even got some goosebumps.”
She started laughing.
“So tell me, how was it? Working with the five stars of course.”
“It wasn’t that bad. Um… Cherry, do you believe in love at first sight?”
“Well…I never did until I met Mal.”
“Like you met him in person?”
“No. I met him from the TV.”
“That’s ridiculous. Does he even know about your existence?”
“Well, he will. Very soon.” She was grinning like an idiot now.
“If you meet him in person then you will definitely change that thought of yours.”
“why do you say that?”
“Come closer.”
She walked closer to me. I leaned Closer to her as well and whispered into her ear.
“He’s a jerk…..Ouch!” Cherry had just hit me on my back. “What was that for?”
“Do not talk about Mal like that. I could choose him over you, you know that right?”
I faked gasped. Of course she was only just kidding. She can’t choose a guy over me.
Never.
And I can’t do that also to her. She comes first before anybody but that is after Tyson.
Tyson is still the one closer to my heart.
“You wouldn’t dare.”
“Uh-huh. Try me. Anyway, have you eaten?”
“I’m famished.”
????????????????????????????????????????
I sat down on my bed after having my shower and changing into my purple pajamas.
I collected my laptop and clic-ked to my diary.
I wrote down everything about my day and how that jerk I love humiliated me.
Yeah, I know diary are kind of outdated but I don’t care.
I still write things down about how my day went in my diary.
Yeah. I’m weird.
I said that before.
Suddenly, my mission pop into my head.
⏱️If you can tame Malcolm and Mason. I’m going to pay you one million dollars plus your salary.⏱️
I have a mission.
I stretched my body and cracked my knuckles.
How can I tame them?
I clic-ked on Google search webpage and type.
How can you tame two guys?
Lot of things pop out on my screen. I clic-ked on the first answer and read out loud.
(Author’s Note: What I’m about to write isn’t exactly found in Google. Maybe. I’m just going to use my head to write it down. so don’t judge).
“ ‘You can tame a guy by cooking’ ” I knitted my brows at that. Cooking? Nah. “ ‘You could tame a guy by seducing him.’ Seducing him? How can I sed-uce two guys just because I want to tame them?
They will just look at me as if I’m crazy.
Stupid.
“ ‘You can tame a guy by being very good on bed.’ Good on bed? Nah. I’ve never had se-x before. I’m quite sure I su-ckat that.” I sighed.
Everything written down were all about se-x and all that.
I shut down the lid of my laptop and lay flat on my bed.
I should probably just do the cooking part. At least that’s the one thing I’m quiet good at.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Arrrrgh!
