Through My Veranda
The Encounter
Lauréne
Ahhhhhhh, why of all days, why now? Can we move to our new house tomorrow or next week? I'm still in a culture shock knowing we're all gonna move today... like please be considerate with me.
Lauréne's Mother
Sorry to inform you abruptly, but we need to move, we don't have any left for us to stay here. Your father gonna work in the place where we gonna moved in. please try to understand Rene. We decided to move for saving more time, and money, and of course, it's too near to your school. Don't you want that?
Lauréne's Father
Please Rene, you would love our new home.. 😊😊
Lauréne
Fine. fine. fine. As the two of you already decide what can I do, you two all are prepared, as you got ready all our stuff last night. Is it why you're too noisy last night? 🤨🤔
Both say: YES, SORRY WE INFORM YOU SO LATE. 😔😔
Lauréne
So what are we waiting for? You already packed all the things, don't you?
Both say: Yes. Thank you for agreeing with our abrupt decision.
Well, I can't disagree with their decision as we're too poor to stay here. Apparently, my father got fired from a company. I'm happy after hearing that he got a job earlier than we expected after the situation he had of being fired from a company. Well, my father works as a company driver. And sad to say, don't know what kind of company he works at.
I'm a 3rd-year college in one prestigious school here in London and I'm a scholar student.
I do love reading manga, novels, and any reading material you can consider of.
I do believe in love, but I'm not capable to be in love.
I'm quite bitter if they ask me about having an intimate relationship with the opposite sex.
I'm sitting on our veranda. Well, our house is quite comfortable for me. Measures 10 by 20 feet just imagine it. Having a small balcony, a small living room that fits 3 people, 3 bedrooms, a small kitchen, an attic, and a veranda attached to the attic.
Reading something. Actually, I can't remember what novel I had been reading at that time.
The most memorable moment that happened at that time was I saw him (don't know the name of the hot next block) half *****. Well, our veranda faces the room of that boy. Like out of all places why his room would right next to our veranda?
That shook me. I was dumbfounded. Starting on him. Until someone disturbs me as I'm spacing out.
Saying, hey girl, what are you looking at? 😒😒
I'm still staring at him, not answering what he was shouting. Well for me, they were just some echoes. So I didn't mind them
Why wouldn't stare at him? I've been dreaming of those male leads from what I've read in the novels or mangas.
How the author describes his male lead as being hot, hunky, with a bulky body (but not too much), so handsome like your underwear gonna fall after seeing him, with those perfect jawlines, tan skin, and as an overall appreciation on his ethereal beauty he possesses his like a Greek God.
Until my fantasy breaks....
He showed up in front of me.
And I don't know how he do it in a split second.
Maybe minutes. Well, I don't know I'm just busy in my fantasy land.
Atlas
hey girl, what were you looking at me?
Atlas
Or should I say you keep on staring at me? What's your problem, huh? 😒
And that's the end of my fantasy....
As I've mentioned above. His Greek God's magnificence can make your underwear fall, but not until you've got to hear his manly, husky, raspy, or whatsoever voice a man can possess that was hot that can make you wet. My god, are you a devil in angel's features disguise?
That was our first encounter.
Vulgar Embarrassment
I'm on my way to school, at 6:30 in the morning when my deceptive eyes notice someone. That boy from our neighborhood which I saw yesterday, half-nakedly in front of my eyes, seeing from our veranda approaches me like a Lion. Ahhh... why now?
I don't want to see him early in the morning.
And it shook me. We are going on the same way and to the same place, well he's also studying where I study.
Don't tell me, this day gonna be my worst day of all.
Atlas
Hey, you! You still have not answered my question since yesterday. Why are you looking at me like you're gonna eat me? Am I too hot to be stared for so long?
Lauréne
what an assuming person ( mumbling)
Well I was caught off guard upon looking in front of my veranda, there was a man half-*****.
Atlas
Oh, so that's the reason? Don't tell me it's your first time seeing a heavenly body like mine?
Lauréne
Ahhh what an irritating person ( muttering) Well, for your information your not the first one, so basically it's not my first time. And don't brag about your shabby body, saying it's heavenly, well in fact it's not. Duh! No one's gonna love that kind of body.
Lauréne
Well, I gotta go. Hoping it's our last time to meet. Bye.
Atlas
Hey, wait. I didn't get your name!
I need to run as fast as I could. I don't wanna hear something from him. Ah! why today!
Lauréne
What a tiring day. Seeing that guy, having no seats available at the back bench, why of all places he's here, and the only available seat is beside him! Are there more misfortunes to come?
What would I do?..
Where I'm gonna seat?
I don't have a choice. The class will start any minute from now.
Ahhhhhh. I wanna scream right now. I badly need it
She walks idly going to that only available seat beside Atlas.
Walking like a turtle, hoping someone inside that room would want to take that seat, someone who wants to seat beside the guy who irritates her.
It's like a thousand years before she reaches that seat.
Upon reaching and approaching to sit...
Atlas
Hey, what a coincidence? So, it's my luck to know now your name, MY NEIGHBOR! 😘
Lauréne
(AWKWARD LAUGH) HE HE HE HE
This gonna be the first time I wish. Please spare me for a second... no a minute. please spare me this day...
Inside the classroom, for Lauréne it feels like a lifetime... She wanted to end the lecture upon seeing his face inside the room. And upon realizing he's gonna be her seatmate for a whole period.
The lecture ends 3 hours after.
She wanted to go out immediately, wanting to avoid that man that irritates her.
Until someone stops her...
Lauréne
This gonna be my death... why he's holding me now. what's his problem? He already got my name, my answer to his question last time, so what now? (mumbling)
She shouted like she's into fight on someone...
Lauréne
Hey, don't touch me and what's your problem boy? You already got what you want so what now? (shouting without looking at her back)
slowly turning her back...
that's the moment she realized she f*cked up...
Lauréne
Oh my God! I'm so sorry sir. I didn't know it was you holding me all the time. Is there something I can help you with sir?
Professor
Oh my, Ms. Lauréne I thought it was me who you were shouting at, 🤨🤨. I thought you had a problem with me...
Lauréne
I'm so sorry sir. What is it you want from me sir?
Professor
Well, I just wanted to inform you your notebook fell. 😒😒
Lauréne
Aahhhh, thank you, sir. 😬😬😬 (awkward laugh) Hehehe
Professor
You may go now. Next time before you scream like hell look behind you who's holding you... 😒
Atlas
You thought it was me? 😝😝 (laughing his *** out)
Lauréne
No, and why would I imagine it was you. Who the hell are you? and please stop bothering me. You make me sick. 😑😑
Atlas
Ok fine. Ms. Neighbor.
The Irritated Lauréne
There's an extravagant celebration in Atlas' Mansion.
His father prepares a banquet for commemorating the annual celebration of their company.
Their family owns 150 branches across the world with 50 main companies across Europe Continent.
His father was a renowned businessman namely in the technological industry, entertainment, product manufactures and so on and so forth.
You gonna wonder, what's lacking in their family. It was like they own half of the world. having all the needs and wants of all people.
No question ask why atlas is arrogant.
Even though its holiday I need to wrap up myself to work.
Today, I decide to look for some part-time jobs that couldn't affect my studies.
As a matter of fact, I got some.
Upon revolving the knob of our door and before stepping into the outside world, my mom shouted from the kitchen.
Lauréne's Mother
Rene, my work needs employees right now. I bet you haven't had a job. Why not try this.
Lauréne
If it's in my power why not.
Lauréne
When I'm gonna start mom?
Lauréne's Mother
Well, I'm going there, why not join with me.
Not knowing what's ahead of her. She just follows her mother going to where her mother works.
Lauréne
Mom are you sure this is where you work?
Lauréne's Mother
Yes, is there any problem with it?
Lauréne
No, I'm just wondering and also clarifying maybe we mistook the route where we're going.
Lauréne
I know you're old now, and it's normal. Maybe you forgot the way where you work at. Let's just stop for a minute and think again.
Lauréne's Mother
Are you doubting me? Well, FYI, I'm just a 60-year-old stunner girl and my mind works well.
Lauréne's Mother
There's no need to doubt 'cause I'm pretty sure, 100% absolutely sure this is the place where I work.
Lauréne
Well, mom, I'm not gonna work here.
Lauréne
No need to reason out. If you want to work here no problem with me, but me working here there's an absolute tragedy will happen. So I'm gonna pass.
Lauréne's Mother
Come on Rene. Don't be cocky, there's no wrong with being a maid. You know our situation... If there's any problem you can tell me.
Lauréne
Fine mom, I will work here, but only today. Ok?
Lauréne's Mother
Up to you.
Why I don't wanna work here!
The reason why got cocky at first in working here?
AHHH. WHY DO I ALWAYS GET TO INTERTWINE WITH HIM?
AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS HIM...
IF IT'S NOT NEEDED, I'M NOT GONNA AGREE TO WORK IN HIS MANSION.
All people were too busy preparing for the banquet.
All people were walking like those in the scenes in a fast-forward motion passing through Lauréne.
Without minding their business. She proceeds to what's tasked appointed to her.
Well, it's just a small task, to begin with.
She just needs to prepare the suit of the one and only irritating person whom she curses all the time.
For Lauréne this was her most hated job ever. She can do the dishes, mop the floor, table setting, clean the window, she can also cook. why of all works, this is the work that was appointed to her, she asked.
No time was consumed, and she has execute the task.
She walks right thru the room of Atlas.
Sir, I'm here to send you your suit for tonight's banquet. Can I come in?
Lauréne
Only by just knocking on his door, already irritates me. What's more than that is, if I can face him personally maybe he's gonna be the death of mine not because of his Greek God beauty but because of irritation. ahhhhhh
Atlas
Come in (talking while he's asleep) just put it on the table.
She's about to go out of that damn hell room for her when Atlas suddenly awakes upon hearing the voice a few meters apart from his bed.
Atlas
Ms. Neighbor, I didn't know you were working here. What's your work, huh? You struck me with your voice early in the morning... ahhhh 😪😪
Lauréne
Here we go again (mumbling) I'm so sorry sir. May I go out now?
Atlas
No, of course, you need to tend to all of my orders. Got it, Ms. Neighbor?
2 hours before the banquet, she got out of Atlas' room.
She got more irritated with him because even the nonsense task, Atlas calls for her to tend to it.
