sir stell brought me to a restaurant on top of one of the high-rise buildings here in BGC. he offered to treat me but i politely declined which he respected so we paid half and half for what we ordered. i never really knew that there's a restaurant open for the public on this hotel since not much people knew about it. we're not here to stay for the night, by the way. sir stell said he only wanted to bring me here because the view is mesmerizing. and he was right.
i stood near the glass ledge and leaned on it with my elbows as support as i closed my eyes, letting the wind gently blow across my skin. for a moment, i smiled. for a moment, i let myself breathe and forget about everything. my parents, my studies, my apartment, my job, and everything else. tonight, it was just me...... and sir stell. and i'll never forget that.
what really amazes me about this night is that none of the things that happened after i left work are planned. everything was spontaneous. sir stell asked, i answered, and then it all happened.
spontaneous. i think that's going to be my new favorite word. 'cause when i think of it, i'll surely remember him.
my thoughts were interrupted when i heard a raspy voice beside me. i looked at him and he inched closer, letting our shoulders touch. there it is again... that spark. damn, what is this man doing to me?
i softly answered, almost like in a whisper. i looked at him and he was already looking back at me. i couldn't speak for a few seconds, absolutely mesmerized by how his eyes gleam by the light of the night skies.
sir stell smiled after i said that.

he shrugged.
but, you always make me smile. hskdhekshs harot !!
i giggled at my naughty thought.
sir stell asked, raising his eyebrow at me which made me giggle even more.
we teased each other and laughed a bit more before we were suddenly enveloped by silence. it wasn't awkward but it wasn't too comfortable either. good thing, he broke it before i did.
i faced him and nodded eagerly.
before sir stell spoke, he brought up his hand near to my face and gently brushed strands of hair away from my forehead which is slightly covering my eyes. my heart started beating fast once again at that action but i had to calm myself down before i explode right there, infront of him.
he started.
i stopped breathing. bakit naman ako kinakabahan?
sir stell continued stammering infront of me which made me laugh at him but he scolded me with his face so i immediately stopped myself and tried to stifle my laugh. he breathed in and out before finally speaking up, compressing his words all in one breath.
ano daw?
i blinked my eyes in confusion.
he chuckled once again and apologized.
mygod, so nag-aassume lang pala ako??? T____T
tinawanan pa ako parang timang talaga 'to si sir stell. T____T
he catched his breath before speaking.
oh, okay. okay, buti naman.
he giggled. ang cute, kaasar.
stell. i like that. :)

Queen of the Castaway Isle
Sophie liked to think of herself as a survivor.Someone who, as an average person, survived hell on earth and returned to tell the tale. Give or take.In a tragic freak accident, the survivors of two plane crashes were trapped on a strange uninhabited island. It took over 8 years for help to locate what was left. Of the original 288 missing passengers and crew, only 22 people remained. The world went wild, everyone wanted to know what happened. What went on there? In a true Lord of the Flies fashion, it was humanity at its worst. Hell on earth. A miniature apocalypse in the middle of the ocean. All manmade.Sure Sophie had survived, but even after years of intensive therapy, she isn't always happy about it. Those who murdered her younger brother were now rich. Those who raped and left her baby sister to die were famous. The kings of that isle, monsters wearing human skin, had sold their stories and were now living the good life after. Try as she might move on, hell has followed her home. Until she wakes up 13 years back in the past. Less than 1 day before her scheduled flight. -------- Catch me on Discord: https://discord.gg/ARkSMFPbew
