How do a girl feel, when she is currently sitting on a large bed inside a huge room which is inside a huge mansion in a guy's shirt which reaches just above my knees.

Well....

I can't freaking feel anything 'cause my mind was in a daze.

The problem was my brain was forcing my eyes to look at Zay's body and it also took away ninety percent of my ears' ability to hear things.... Which made me only hear a few things what he said.

'Cause I don't remember saying 'yes' to coming to his house nor I agreed to change my clothes.

******************************

A FEW HOURS AGO

Why....

Whhyyyyy...

Why of all these days did I opt against wearing a hoodie.

No wonder he stopped speaking... or yelling.

I still haven't got up after I fell. I look down to avoid eye contact so I won't be ashamed anymore.

"Keira..." I hear him call, softly.

Gosh it took all if my strength to not look at him.

I was thinking of possible scenarios that may occur here, when I saw his outstretched hand. As if he wanted to help me up.

Wait. What?

I look at him and he inclines his head towards his arm, indicating me to hold it. I take his hand.

The moment I touched his hands, I felt a spark and I don't know if it was only me who felt it.

I got up and dusted my pants.

My heart leapt, when he held my shoulder and checked my body for any injuries. His eyes stopped at my back. My camisole was having droplets of blood.

I guess some of the wound reopened when I feel.

"Sh*t" I heard him curse.

"I'm so sorry. I was not looking where I was going and...." I heard him explain. Wasn't he about to yell at the person who smashed onto him..... before he looked at the person.

Was it because of me, he changed his mind..... or was it because I'm just an acquaintance.

I didn't hear anything what he said after that.

Next thing I knew was he dragging me.... my hand in his, to a huge ass mansion.

He dragged me without detaching our hands.

He dragged me through the mansion, to a room and he removed his hand from mine. My body suddenly became cold after his warm hands left mine.

What the hell is he doing to--

"Strip"

-- my body?? Wait .....WHAT??

I looked at him, to confirm if what I heard was true.

"Strip" He ordered confirming mu suspicion to be true. "Hmm" I nod.

Wait..... WHAAAAT.

Why does this situation feel so familiar... Wait.... This kinda thing happened at school too right. Is 'strip' his favorite word or what? Does he order everyone or every girl who he come across to 'strip'???

I look at him and put my best 'What the hell are you saying ' look on my face.

I guess he understood, 'cause he went to an attached room and came out with a T-shirt and shorts.

I grab the clothes he gave and looked at him as he still stood there staring at me.

Did he expect me to change in front of him.

"Oh, sorry, then I'll just... you know... uhh...I'll be just out. You can take a bath if you want to." Zay says and leaves the room, I believe is his because it had a manly touch to it. Manly not Boyish. He is way matured for his age.

I would have believed it was his brother's or relatives' room if he hadn't brought the clothes he gave to me as he owned it, plus he had a lot of certificates which had his name on it. His room was clean with neatly made bed with navy blue sheets. One side of the wall was painted navy blue. There were no posters on the wall, no crack not even a smudge of stain.

Manly.....his room had a manly touch..... just like him.

I went and took a bath 'cause I stink of sweat after all that running and got dressed.

I hear someone knock the door just at the time I finished dressing.

"Keira, it's me... Can I come in?" Zay asks.

"Yeah..."I reply. He twists the door knob and enters.

My eyes became as big as saucers. Sh*t..... I didn't lock the door when I was dressing.

"Don't worry. No one enters my room without my permission. Also I was just outside the door too." He says understanding my discomfort.

What the hell..... I was lavishly taking a bath as it was the first time I saw such grand bathroom. I guess I took almost half to one hour and he was patiently waiting outside.

Why.....

Why is he making me feel like this....like I'm melting.

"Sit." He says and I sit on his bed which is so comfortable.

I see him take something out from his drawers and sit behind me.

"Can you raise the shirt up...." He asks. I was about to ask 'why' when he continued by saying, "...So that I can apply the medicine to your open wounds."

I nod and slowly raises the shirt, trying my best not to reveal my front to him.

A shiver went through my spine when his fingers touched my back, when he started applying the medicine.

For some reason, the way he was applying was so sensual.

My heart started beating wildly as my body started becoming hot.

His fingers slid so slowly over the wounds. I bit my lip as a moan was about to escape from me.

It was then that I noticed that his breath, which I could feel as he was sitting so close to me, was ragged just like mine.

Was he feeling the same way as I did.

"Some of....umm...some of the older scars are gone and a lot started to disappear." He tells me in a husky voice.

"Yeah....the doctor gave a herbal medicine to dissolve in the water when taking a bath-" I starts to explain when he cuts me off by saying, "I know."

What does he know.... 'How' does he know.

"So what were u doing in the morning?" Zay asks, now starting to massage my back.
I let him do it as it felt so good. This is my first time getting a massage from someone.

"Actually, I joined the traditional race." I tell him.

"Yeah, I know....." He says again. I turn my face and looks at him, in a questioning manner. "Coach gave us the list.... There are for others apart from you." He explains.

"So... you didn't answer my question." He tells me.

"I heard that the West High always won the race and they especially have tremendous practice for it. Also that our school does not have practice for it..... I wanted to prove it to you that I'm not a weak and naive girl." I explain, the last bit with emotion.

"You don't have to prove that anymore, 'cause I know that your very brave and strong." He says softly, after turning me, cupping my face and bringing it close to his face.

Huh.

What's wrong with him.

I was shocked by his behavior and I know that he was also shocked by his sudden change of behavior as I saw his eyes become as big as saucers.

He got up from the bed, quickly as a rocket and checked the time.

"It's time already.... I.... umm.... I'm gonna take a bath and go to school for practice. If you want you can take a nap in the next room, then leave." He says and goes to the bathroom.

I got up from the bed and was about to leave the room, "FU*K.... Sh*t.... aaarrggghhh.. Why did you say it out loud" I heard Zay curse and talk to himself.

A smile makes a way upon my face.

I guess I am affecting him... somehow.

*****************************

{ Rachel's POV }

Where did this Keira go..... it has been almost two hours since she has been gone.

I hear the phone ring. I go and pick it up. I hear my mom on the other side.

"Yes mom." I ask calmly, trying to avoid any suspicion. I hear the door open and saw Keira coming in wearing a large shirt.

"Darling, listen to me... tomorrow a man will come. Show Keira to him, okay." Dad tells me.

"Why dad?"

"Umm.... she is going to work for him from now on." My mom says.

"But, mom, dad, I told the whole school that I'm gonna have a party tomorrow..." I tell them. I see Keira standing with a questioning expression for a minute then goes to her room.

"You can have it day after tomorrow dear." Dad says.

"But dad, I have been planning it for so long. I have never kept a party in my house and my school mates are questioning me. Please daddy. Tell that man to come after a month 'cause my friends will be here everyday and no one from school know that the b*tch is my step-sister." I try to bring out the venom when talking about Keira, as much as possible.

I hear both of them whispering then sigh and  said 'okay'.

I say my goodbyes and hang the phone.

My whole world collapsed yesterday. Whatever I believed.....what I was made to believe was all a lie..... a facade....

I found out the truth..... the secret, my parents hid so well, in my dad's office.... a room I never entered. I went in there to take scissors but found something else.

I know....

I know that I was mean to her ever since I came here.... but I never was so wicked.... so evil.... so vicious like my parents.

I know who that man is.... Although I don't exactly know who he is.... I know his purpose.... I know why my parents want to give Keira to him.

I dial Risa's and Dila's house number. "Hello" I hear Risa's high pitched voice.
"Hello Risa.... Tell Dila this too.... Both of you come to my house now, with party supplies.... I'm gonna have party here tomorrow... Also invite everyone from school."

I hear Risa's okay and hang up.

*sigh*

They want to get rid of Keira.....

And I came to know now, that they will do anything to get rid of her.....

And I will not let them..... not anymore...
