LAB ONE:

3:00 p.m. (Philippines) (Santiago's Office)

I was sitting silently in an office not far from the prior event, and I'd been there for approximately an hour.

"Could you possibly allow me to return home? I had nothing to do with what happened, and I even helped him since I happened to see the gunman, but it doesn't give you the right to detain me!" Annoying! I'd like to return home and rest.

"I apologize for bothering you Miss, but we still have some questions to ask." They had already asked identical questions!

Then a man entered the room, glanced at me, and walked up to me.

"Did someone tell you to save me?"

"No one, as I've been telling you, I just happened to see that hitman! And all I could think about was rescuing whoever he had chosen as his target!" He looks right into my eyes as if he's peering into the depths of my soul.

"How can I repay you?" he asked without even breaking an eye contact

"I want to go home," Because of his scrutiny, I couldn't think clearly.

"Then I'll take you home," He left the room without waiting for my response.I haven't been able to respond or say anything because I'm weary; I need to go home and relax; it's been a long day for me.

Nang Makasakay kami sa sasakyan niya na mukhang milyon ang halaga para bang may anghel na dumaan at binalot kami ng katahimikan but I break it immediately

"You really don't have to go this far, I can take a cab by myself" he look at me as if I'm saying something that so stupid

"After what you did do you really think that your life is still safe?"

"They don't know me, so why would they waste their time for a mere human being like me?"

"Because you saved me, and that's enough reason"

I shrugged off the Idea and look at the side mirror in my side, there are two black cars who's following us since we left the building.

"Security huh?"

"For safety reasons" he replied shortly

Minutes pass when we finally reach my home it's not large, but it's adequate for me; I'm the only one in life, so I don't require a larger space.

"Come in," I said.

He came inside and glanced about my apartment as if he was seeking something.

"Do you live alone?"

"Yap! Since I turned seventeen,"

"Coffee or juice?" I provided an offer.

"Please, no sugar with my black coffee. Thank you."

I went to my mini-kitchen and prepared him coffee; it's not much, but I hope he enjoys it.

"Here," I said, handing him his coffee as he sat down on my sofa.

"How can I repay you?" He inquired after taking a taste of the coffee I had prepared for him.

"Sending me home is enough," I honestly stated.

"I can offer you a bigger apartment, a car-" I shut him off.

"Are you insulting me?"

"No, I'm offering you a house and a vehicle, or money, anything you want." Don't tell me he thinks I want something from him. Absolutely not!

"I don't need those things, and I don't need anything from you. Keep it for someone else."

"Just accept it" I can smell something

"Ego and pride won't fix anything Mr. I am living my life so far so good I can eat whenever I want and I can buy things on my own, I'm not a materialistic as you may think. If you don't mind I want to rest already"

He rose up and walked up to me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, Shit!I couldn't move, my body wouldn't let me reject his lips, and worst of all, I kissed him back with the same passion! Oh my gosh!

He touches my face and stares me in the eyes. That abomination!

"It settled," huh

"What have you settled?"

"You are now mine; I'll go ahead and visit you tomorrow." I couldn't react right away since I heard the door slam and all I could do was touch my lips.

"Shit! Shit! It was my first kiss!" I shook my head and walked to my room to shower and sleep. Oh, no!

When I look in the mirror, all I notice is redness all over my face! Never in my life have I imagined being kissed by someone I've never met!

I went to my bed, hoping to relax so that I could sleep peacefully, but yep! I'm still processing what he did. Why did I save him in the first place, now that I think about it? Is that what I was thinking at the time? But half of me is relieved that no one else was injured and that he did not die today.

I'm staring at my plain white ceiling, trying to figure out what happened earlier; someone is trying to murder that man, and I don't even question why; I feel like I did the right thing, but what he said in the vehicle made me think I might get entangled in his business. Argh! This is really aggravating!

I couldn't sleep, so I decided to create another plot; I couldn't keep thinking about it all night, and I couldn't waste time thinking about it.

I sit down with my laptop and a cup of coffee, and I begin entering the information that I required before penning the entire story.

When I finished the first five chapters, it was beyond twelve o'clock. It was about a girl who saved a man out of curiosity, and that man is a total killer in the city, but she doesn't know that and decides to leap in and save him from death.

The man was admitted to the hospital for nearly two weeks, and the daughter stayed by his side until he regained consciousness. However, when the guy awakens, he quickly leaves the hospital, and the girl leaves to buy medicine for him, and when she returns, the man is nowhere to be seen. I pressed the enter key and went to bed.
