AFTER five d*mn hours of travel, the car stopped. I don't why we apply as a personal assistant even though there are many jobs there that are more comfortable. As we went outside the car, Ishiana started to talk nonsense.
"Let's go shopping before going to our boss's house," she said without turning her gaze on me. I immediately declined her idea. I know her, she's a monster when it comes to malling. She has no mercy on money.
"KJ..." She pouted.
"You should tell me before we get here. It's too late. We have to go immediately--"
"Liar! It's too early!" she yelled at me. I raised an eyebrow at her. Her face expression softened as she saw my reaction.
Don't she dare yell at me because in the end I will be the one who's going to decide whenever we are going or not.
"I just want to go shopping..." she said in a low and soft tone. She looked at me using her puppy eyes. Ugh! What a pain in ass.
I heave a sigh and nod. She jumps like a child in happiness.
"I know a mall near here so let's just walk." she excitedly pulled my arms. I mentally rolled my eyes because of her childish act.
She's smiling ear to ear, eyes are shining in happiness and her long hair is bouncing in rhythm.
While we are walking, it feels like there is some lovely background music around us. It's so refreshing to walk around and look at the things around us.
"I.... I DON'T have any money left!" Ishi dramatically cried in front of me. She's holding 2 bags of random stuff she bought. She still has money, she's just over acting because the money left on her wallet is not that much.
I don't get her. If she doesn't want to spend money, she needs to avoid malling.
She's still complaining about it. Tho, it's her fault. She should know how to spend money correctly. In annoyance, I pulled the end of her hair for her to stop her drama. She glared at me as she caressed her hair.
"It hurts ya' know!" she yelled, irritated. Well, I am too. She and her annoying rants!
I left her and ignored her complaints. I even hear her shout my name. I started looking around me and I saw books. When I began to look at the books a one book title caught my attention. I raised an eyebrow and picked it up. But, it seems like I'm not the only one who's interested in it. I look up on the guy who's holding the same book that I'm holding.
He's glaring at me as if I did something wrong. I mentally rolled my eyes at him. Does he even know that the way he glared at me is so rude?
"This is--" I did not let him finish his statement and push the book to his reason for him to step back. I saw how his jaw dropped and looked at me, surprised at my action. I pass through him as if nothing happened. If he wants that, then he should buy it. I'm not interested in it anymore.
"What a rude fat woman!" I heard the man shout. I stopped walking but did not look back. I tried my best not to because if I did, it would just be a nonsense fight and I'm not fat! I'm an average size! Who is he to say that to me?! I walk confidently out of the store even though that guy is getting on my nerves.
The nerve of that guy! I'm not rude! Nor, fat!
He should be thankful that I did not fight him back or else....Nevermind. It will just stress me more.
I saw Ishi in front of the store. She's looking everywhere as if she's finding someone. When her gaze averted to my direction, she immediately ran to me.
"Where have you been?! I'm--" I hissed at Ishi and passed through her. I am so irritated! Who wouldn't be if someone said that you are fat even if you are not?!
"WOW!" Ishi exclaimed. Her eyes almost popped out. We are in front of a very big house. "Kia, can you see it?!" she even pulled my arms harshly without her knowing. I groaned, that hurts!
"I CAN SEE IT! I'M NOT BLIND, OKAY?!" I shout. She looked at me and apologized. I just hissed at her and pressed the doorbell.
"Hello." Ishi almost jumps in shock. A girl suddenly appeared on our back and approached us. "Hi. What are you doing here? Where is your guardian? Your mom or dad?" I ask the little kid. She shook her head as an answer. My eyebrow furrowed at her answer. What is the meaning of that?
"I lived here." She pointed the big house in front us making me surprise just a little bit. Why would they let a child go outside alone? "Why are you alone?" I ask. The kid pouted at my question. "I.."
"ERICKA!'' We look at the back where we hear a woman's voice. She hugged the kid in front of me and cupped her face, looking at the kid worriedly. "I told you to stay by my side!" she angrily scolded the kid.
"But it's too boring there..." the kid reasoned out. The woman heaved a sigh at the kid's answer. Her gaze averted to us. She smiled as a reason for me to give her a smile too.
"Are you Kiarra and Ishiana?" she asked. Me and Ishi exchange looks before we nod at her question. She smiles wider while she holds the kid's hand. As her hand gestured us to go in, she bowed.
"Welcome to Thompson's house."
