Chapter 045
After 1 minute, Sebastian came back and Amee fell asleep on my lap. I couldn't look at him, I was ashamed of him for what had happened earlier. I also drank the water he handed me, I felt better. I don't want that to happen again, it's too embarrassing.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes, thank you," I replied.
"It's good then and if it's okay with you, let's practice first at least 30 minutes after that we'll eat lunch."
"All right, it's fine with me."
He stood up so I just stood up too. I really want to play the guitar but my fingers are not healed yet. So I'll sing the whole practice, geez .. hopefully, it will end.
Time Check: 11:47 am
Sebastian and I just finished our practice, we did a few vocalizations. So, the 30 minutes of practice turns out into one and a half hours.
I sat on a couch and Amee was still asleep. She looks cute when she's sleeping.
"Vienna, we have to take a picture, Dim said, proof that we are practicing. Because he doesn't believe me, is it okay?" he asked, I nodded in response.
I got up and approached his direction. I didn't fix my face because it was just proof. He also took his phone and came closer to me which caused me to look at him.
"1..2..3." I smiled as well as he did. I thought he wasn't smiling but he smiled that I couldn't expect.
"Let's go, Dad is waiting for us downstairs," he said.
We went out of his studio but I went down first than him. He took Amee back to his room. I was about to go to the dining area when my phone rang. I checked who was calling, it was just Michelle.
"What do you need?" I asked as I answer the call. For sure she will tease me again or maybe annoy me.
(Bad mood right away, friend? How are you at Sebastian's house? Yee! .. she already met her soon-to-be father-in-law) She said while laughing making me surprised. How did she know? I didn't tell her.
"How did you know?" I asked making her laugh on the other line.
(So you don't know yet? Friend, you're always late for the news. Brother Dim posted a picture of you two on the Music Club's Facebook page. And there's a caption, "Stay tuned with these two people, they will be having a sweet and lovable performance on Friday")
I thought that was just proof? Why did brother Dim post that? Annoying! The two of us got pranked again. Sebastian is easily fooled, we'll talk about that again at the university.
(Many who commented, I wish all has already been to Sebastian's house, how to be you Ms. Malvar? And a lot more. I haven't read any negative comments about you, maybe his fans already support you) Michelle added.
"Vienna .." I turned around immediately, it was Sebastian.
(Is that Sebastian's friend? Yee! HAHAHA, your hair is really long, friend. Oh! anyways, I'll hang up this call, let's talk again later)
I sighed when she dropped the call. Why did Brother Dim expose the photo of Sebastian and me on social media? He knew that many would be jealous and get annoyed with me.
We ate lunch with Uncle Kristopher in the middle while Sebastian was facing me. It is also inevitable to avoid telling stories at the table led by uncle Kristopher. He asked questions and I just answered. But we were talking about something else, not my personal life.
After about an hour we finished eating and I also helped put away the plates. It's embarrassing for Mother Lerma, I'm not forced to and I'm willing to help. At first, uncle didn't agree but I insisted and Sebastian, I don't know where he is. After we ate, he disappeared immediately from my sight, I didn't even bother to look for him.
"Are you sure Vienna you're going to wash that? Maybe you can't," said Mother Lerma. I decided that I'll wash the plate that we used earlier. I know how to do household chores.
"Yes, I can do it and just take a rest, Mother Lerma," I replied.
"All right, thank you Vienna."
"You're welcome," I said smiling. I also started washing the dishes when Mother Lerma left.
The wound on my finger hurt a little when I put the dishwashing gel on it. There are no plastic gloves here that I could wear that's why I endure it even if it hurts.
"Why are you doing that? You're a visitor here and your fingers aren't healed yet." I just roll my eyes at what he said.
"The guests are different from the ones eating, I just want to help Mother Lerma. I'm okay and I can do it," I replied to the guy behind me. It's Sebastian, the one and only mean here at home.
Is he really concerned about me? But it isn't. I don't care about him, he can't stop me from doing what I want.
"After doing that, go to the studio right away." From the tone of his voice, it's obvious that he's not concerned. Who do I care? He's annoying.
After about 30 minutes, I also finished washing the dishes. I was about to leave the kitchen when I received another call from my Mom.
"Why do you call, Mom?" I asked immediately.
(Where are you, Vienna?) Why does her tone of voice seem angry?
"Why?" I asked.
(Just answer me, where are you?) She repeated.
"I'm now here with Sebastian, I don't know if you know him. We have guitar practice, is there a problem mom?" I asked. She didn't answer right away, which surprised me. Suddenly the call was hung up and I think she dropped it. What could be her problem? Why does she call just to ask me where am I?
When I entered Sebastian's studio, he was currently playing the guitar and he didn't notice my presence. I sat on the other couch and watched him but he suddenly stopped and looked at me.
"Sit here, I'll treat your wound," he suddenly said which surprised me. He took a band aid and betadine from a first aid kit. I didn't act anymore and just sat next to him. He immediately took my left hand and I stared at him.
Why is he like this to me now?
