"CAN I have the other one?"

I quickly turned my head from where the voice is from. There he is. Standing and looking at me intently.

"H-how? How did you know that I'm here?" I stuttered for a bit but I managed to ask him that.

He sat beside me first before answering my question. "Well, it's kinda obvious that your mood went off. I just thought that you might want to go back to the place where we ate a certain kind of soup so, I waited for you outside your house. The car is actually ready but you sneaked out, I thought that you might get hurt as you walk. I kind of hope that you'll notice me following you but you didn't. So.. yeah." then he got the other ice cream.

I'm still looking at him. I might face danger as I walk from our home to this convenient store, that didn't even crossed my mind but here he is, followed me all the way from home thinking about my safety. Usually, ice cream would do but I didn't even notice a lone tear that fell from my eyes. Another one fell, that's when I looked at the opposite direction and wiped my tears. I began eating my ice cream again while my tears are falling.

"You want to get another ice cream?" I just nod my head and didn't even looked at him. Ashamed that he always see me in this kind of situation. "What flavor do you want?"

"The same flavor of the ice cream you ate" I heard him chuckled and said 'okay'. I finished my ice cream and waited for Eros.

I looked at the aisles and saw a pack of marshmallow. I got two and looked at the aisle of chips. I also got two big packs with cheese flavor. I went back to the cashier and paid for it. I saw Eros sitting on the same place we were on earlier. I walked to him. He got a pint of ice cream with two different flavors; hazel nut and almonds. He even got two doughnuts.

"Which of the two do you want?"

"The hazelnut one" then sat down. I put the chips and marshmallows on the table. He did something with my ice cream before opening it and cracking the chocolate above it. After that, he handed my spoon and did the same thing to his ice cream. I waited for him before eating mine. He didn't ask questions and we ate silently. We finished all except for the marshmallows.

It's already 12 a.m. We were in the store for hours. I hope no one noticed I'm not in my room. We are walking to home. I'm full but we're still eating the pack of marshmallows left.

"Are you feeling okay now?"

"Yep. Thank you for being here. Again" then smiled at him.

"If you're choosing between continuing what you love and following the person you love, always choose what makes you happy the most. One that is not holding you back from loving the other" We reached home and I went in my room upstairs. It's 12:30 a.m. but I don't feel tired yet. I just laid on my bed and stare at the ceiling.

One that is not holding you from loving the other

Does that mean that I should continue writing stories? It doesn't hold me from loving my mom. It is her who is holding me from my love for writing. I sighed and went to my study table. I opened my laptop and started typing again. This story should be good. Eros has been a great help in keeping me sane in this house. It is my payback to all the things he did for me. I started from the prologue and then from a chapter to another. I yawned and checked the clock. It's already 3 a.m. I saved all the files and then closed my laptop.

I had one hella day. I've been happy when my mother wants to have a day with me, I got tired with all the walking around the mall, have been sad knowing that I've been hiding myself as a writer, I cried and been happy again that someone was there for me for the second time around.

I prayed before sleeping. Wondering what tomorrow might have for me.

Alarm woke me up and I went straight to the bathroom to shower.

I finished showering and was combing my hair when I heard a knock an Amy's voice "Miss, Madam said you should come downstairs"

"I will" then hurried myself up.

I saw Amy when I went out of my room "She ordered you to wait for me, again?"

She nodded "Where did you go last night, Miss?" she asked when we were walking. I'm shocked that she knew about that.

"How did you-"

"I saw you went out of your room last night. I was about to follow you but the Head Maid called for me. Are you okay though?"

"Yep. I wish you were with me. We could've talked about anything"

"I wish too, Miss. But the moment you enter your room at night. I should do my chores"

"But, my mother already exempt you from it, right?"

"Yes, she did. But you're already asleep. You wouldn't need me for anything. We should finish everything and then, we'll be able to rest"

I nodded at her and realized how different our world could be. I could get to choose when I would sleep but here they are, working even after we slept. I sighed and proceeded to my seat in dining table. My mother has the smiles flashed on her face. Guess, she had a good night sleep, huh?

"Good morning, my beautiful daughter"

"Good morning, mother" I smiled a little.

"I've got a good news for you today" she looked excited to the 'good news' she has. I just hope that it has nothing to do with me. "We've got a visitor" then smiled with her teeth.

Oh great. A visitor.

I'm so excited, who could that be? Note my sarcasm please.

"Your visitor will arrive in 10 a.m. Be ready"
