[align=center][b](¯`*•.¸,¤°´I WANT MY SANCTUARY BACK`°¤,¸.•*´¯) [/b] [b]--Zoe's POV--[/b][/align] "Ms. Zoe. Ms. Zoe" "Hmm" I opened my eyes slowly. Kirsten? "Why are you here?" "Ma'am...Ms. Zoe. Nakatulog po kayo. And it's evening, dinner's ready." I look at my wristwatch. "Oops" Kirsten turned few steps backwards, shocked by my reaction. "I needed to check my blog. Tell my mom that I'll skip dinner for now." "Ms. Zoe.--" I put my hand in front of her "Zoe na lang" "Zoe, kailangan niyo po bumaba. Ipapakilala na po kayo kay la sir." I was then reminded na may iba pa pala kaming kasama dito ni mama sa bahay. "Okay. Okay. Tell her that I'll go down in a minute okay. I just need to change." Kirsten went out my room. Inalala ko yung mga ginawa ko, wait, the book. I quickly find the book. Hindi dapat malaman ni mama na may dala akong libro. I saw it on the table na malapit sa tv. "Bakit ka napunta dito?" Then someone spoke. "Talking to yourself?" [i]Ulysses[/i] "Ww-Why are you here?" "Your mom ask me to call you." "Ow. I forgot. Dinner." He nodded. "I'll wait for you. I think you're not yet prepared." I look at him. Ano siya manyak? This is my room, you mister. "Okay, okay. Stop looking at me. I think I know what's going on in your mind. You have your dress room there" He pointed to the door na nasa loob din ng room ko. [i]Big room[/i] "Big room right?" [i]Does he read others mind?[/i] "I don't have special powers." "Teka nga. I got something inside my bag" I let him see it. "Who's this?" "David Burn. A character." He think for a while. "Aaah." "You know him?" "I remember him. L.J. Smith's character at nightworld right?" I nodded. "You love books?" "Not that LOVE. But I do read books." We talk at each other--shout may be apt than talk cause I was putting my dress on while I tell him the stories that he don't know yet. Nakagaanang loob ko siya with just a small span of time. "And you know the part when they where about to play, rock,papers, scissors. But Edward just sighed." then we burst into laughter "Yeah. I know that. Alice wins." We talk while we're going down the stairs. But our conversation was cut when someone spoke. [i]MOM[/i] "I guess you two get along with each other agad. Let's eat." "Tara." Ulysses ask me to follow them When we arrive sa dinning room I saw two more guys, one of them yung kaninang nakita ko and the other one is somewhat old. Ulysses lead me to my seat and let me sit first before him. "I guess we are complete." The old man started. "Let's eat then we'll talk about everything later." While eating I notice that Ulysses is staring at me. "May kanin ba sa mukha ko?" I quickly asked him "Ww-wala" he answered My mom giggled and so the old man does. The boy beside Ulysses look but return eating agad, such a snob. After eating, we had a dessert, tiramisu. My favorite. "I heard that its your favorite, Zoe." the old man spoke I pointed to myself, ako kausap niya? "Yeah, Zoe right?" I nodded. "Tsk" the guy beside Ulysses said Ulysses just chuckled.I felt that I was kinda embarrassed so I just continued eating. "I asked your mom about your name and all about you for--" I quickly got interested when he said that but I noticed that he stopped when my mom glanced at him "For what??" "Nothing much baby." my mom said I really smell something bad pagkasabi sa akin ni mama na lilipat kami. "Uhm." Quickly there eyes were on me. "Mr. Montealegre." He smiled. "Yes?" "I'll just request something." I glanced at my mom, she gave me a dead glare. But I want my library, I want to bring it here. "Can I please have a little room?" "Is your room not big enough." "No, no. It's not that." Ulysses laugh. I tap his shoulders. "I wanted to have my library back" "Ow. Your library. We'll discuss that later. But first I want you to know Ethan, he's my second son." I look at him. "Hi." I said He didn't respond, such a....he pisses me off. The old man continues. "He's not that sociable Zoe. Then I guess, you already know Ulysses." I nodded and smiled at Ulysses. "And I'm Mr. Montealegre, Theodore Montealegre, their father as well as your mom's business partner for a resort here at Pampanga. You can call me tito." I nodded. "And about your library." He look at Ulysses and Ulysses nodded. "Hey Zoe." Ulysses called me "You want to see another room in our house?" I look at mom, her eyes says that "sige na". So I followed Ulysses. We ended up infront my room and also beside his room. There's a bigger door, ah, I didn't notice this door a while ago. "Zoe" "Hm?" "Bring your books here." "Why? And how did you know that--" "Cause I saw one of them a while ago. Now enter this room and enjoy your stay here." I did what he told me to do so. When I opened the door. WOAH [b][i]Bigger Library. Bigger World. [/i][/b]
