"Ceres"

I heard a voice calling me. I waited for the second call because i could not recognize it. It sounded low.. I felt a warmth on my shoulder.. As I grew more awake, I could feel that someone's hand was resting on it, shaking me gently..

"Ceres.. Wake up.."

It called me again, I opened my eyes slowly and turned around to look. It was Otis Hueruza, the man whom I just knew yesterday. The man who will ruin my life. He was seated on my bed, right beside me.

Still in a daze, I looked at him awhile more, before pushing his hand away from myself. I didn't want to be touched, especially by someone like him. Otis glared at me.

"You should be glad I bothered to wake you up." , he said coldly. Nothing like how he sounded when he was reassuring my parents the day before.

"I am never glad if someone like you, budge into my room uninvited and touch me as if i belonged to them. I hate IT." , I warned him. He wasn't afraid, like why would he be? Now that my parents believe in him so much, what are my warnings going to even do to him?

"Quit acting like a brat. You are 18 now and yet you still behave like a child. It disappoints me."

"Oh? Then leave me alone."

"Ha. Your parents wants you to be married into my family, what say do you have?"

I remained silent, what he said, was becoming true now. What say do i have for now? What's done has been done. He lifted up my chin, about to say something to me. But i thought that he was going to kiss me. Fearing that he was going to, I raised my hand and slapped him. He got a shock, a long pause between the both of us. Before he glared back at me. I could sense the anger in him. I looked at him and I did not feel I did the wrong thing. He grabbed my arm and pulled me close to himself, so that I would look at him and into his eyes.

"You will marry me whether you like it or not. You will listen to me and learn to behave yourself. And learn to be a good wife. Is that clear enough?.." He snarled, tightening his grip on my arm. I yelled, it felt like as if he dug his nails into my skin. I tried to pull myself away, but I was not able to. Because i was much smaller and weaker.

"Is that CLEAR ENOUGH?" , he repeated again, forcing me to agree to it. I nodded, even if I didn't want to, but the pain was just unbearable. He released his grip on me and left the room. My heart ached, I felt miserable. I thought to myself, Why now? Why am I suffering? Why did he have to come into my life? I cried, I felt lost. I didn't know who to turn to or what to do. Again, I locked myself in the room for hours.. Until there was a knock on the door and a familiar voice.

"Ceres, it's me, open up."

It was Jamie's voice, something that made me rushed to the door and opened it immediately. Jamie was looking at his feet, before he looked up and saw my teary-eyed face.

"What happen, Ceres??" , he asked. I pulled him in he room, so neither my parents nor that Otis could hear any of our conversations.

"Woah!", he yelled when i dragged him in. I locked the door and turned to Jamie. I wished he didn't have to see my crying face. I wished that he didn't noticed it. I quickly wipe away my tears and questioned him.

"I thought that you didn't like coming over here... So.."

"I entered when your parents left with your brother. You never told me you had one." , he looked at me with curiousity.

"Brother??"

"yes, the tall blonde hair guy tha was with your parents..."

Apparently, Jamie was referring to Otis. I have no idea what makes Jamie think of that, perhaps it could be because Otis had blonde hair like I did.

"That man, is not my brother, Jamie.."

"Oh? My bad. Parent's friend?"

"No."

"Cousin?"

I kept quiet, if only whatever Jamie mentioned was true, i would rather not be related to him in anyway. However, my silence made Jamie felt uneasy. He looked around my room, hoping to find an object he could make me start talking again.

"Oh, nice.... Room! Haha..." , he scratched his cheek, blushing.

"That man... Is... My 'Fiance'..." , i mumbled, soft enough for myself to hear, but Jamie could hear it. His ear was really sensitive to sound, even if it was the softest whisper, he could hear it.

"Fiance?.." , he turned to look at me. I nodded, turning away from him. I regretted telling him that, infact he shouldn't know about this at all. Jamie held my hand, walked to my bed and sat down with me.

"Ceres, you must be really upset huh?..." , he pushed my head towards his shoulder. The moment my head rest on his shoulder, my tears flow down my cheeks. I couldn't stop myself from crying... I just cried. He stroked my head, comforting me, remind me what I said to Reita and him about "Tomorrow will be a better day". I hugged him tightly and suddenly felt that there was someone who cared, it didn't have to be my parents or relatives. I held onto his hand onto his hand and looked at him. He was beautiful, everything about him was perfect.. He smiled back at me.

"Now, now. Stop crying and dry your tears. You do not look as pretty as when you're happy, you know."

"Mmm.." , I leaned on him, I could feel his warmth and his breath.. I explained to him about my "birthday present" was and how much I hate Otis now.

"He seems like a nice person to me. Why hate him?"

"Because I have no feelings for him." , i protested.

"Okay..." he mumbled. "So what's your plan now?"

"Nothing." , I felt stoic, my voice sounded dead. I moved away from Jamie slowly, still holding onto his hand.

"C'mon, Ceres. You can't go on like that. Look on the bright side of things. Maybe that man isn't so bad. He seems refine, like a gentleman..."

"He only 'seem'." , I interrupted, still refusing to accept Otis.

"Look at me, Ceres." Jamie turned my head gently to face gently to face him. "It is going to be tough for you, I know that. But if you could actually give him a chance, that'll make things more easier for you, wouldn't it? It's not the right time to judge him yet because you have not known him well enough yet. I understand that first impressions are important....But isn't it just too soon to judge him?" He pat my head, still smiling.

"What's done now cannot be undone. The choice is yours, Ceres.. To accept him or to reject him him, either one, things will be sacrificed.. Life is always unfair, that's why we have to try to make the best out of things not for our own selfish sake, but for the people around us too.."

At that moment, I felt like I've semi-woken from a dream. It was like as if Jamie has rescued me from my troubles. It also made me realise how a spoilt brat I was. How selfish I was and how ignorant I was. I looked at my feet, still deciding what to do as Jamie waited patiently.

"Thank you..." , I turned to Jamie. He looked at me, he did not seem to catch what I said.

"Yes, Ceres?" , he asked again.

"I said 'Thank you', Jamie.. You're a great friend.. I could always count on you.." , I smiled, I felt like the heavy load on my shoulders were finally lifted. He shy away, giggling softly before smiling at me again.

"Hey, we're friends. No need to be so formal, just relax okay?" , he giggled again. Giggling is of course, weird for males to do. But since Jamie seem to be prettier than most females, I suppose it's alright. He left through the window so that my parents wouldn't notice him if they were on their way back. I sat on my bed, holding onto my Arcorchado Plush toy, the adorable bird monster that looks like a pumpkin or some sort. I smiled to myself, reminding me what Jamie had told me. I then told myself.. Perhaps Otis is not that bad... Maybe he is nice, surely if not my parents wouldn't have accepted him.

The sun began to set, I looked down the window and saw my parents and Otis. They were back from wherever place they went to. I hurried down to greet my parents when they arrived, they were surprised by my sudden "nice" behaviour. Otis looked at me with the same cold stare. But i didn't bother that and approached him.

"If you're hungry, I could make you some supper.."

He looked at me, I could that he felt weird when I told him that. But i just wanted to make the best for everyone.. I smiled, not a full one, but good enough for him to notice it.

"It's alright, we just had dinner before returning. Have you eaten?.." he asked me, reaching out to touch my face. I let him, he stroked my cheek gently before pressing his lips onto my forehead. He was so much more gentle than he was in the morning... Frankly, i kind of felt pampered.. But maybe he pretended to be nice because my parents were around, i thought.

"Have you eaten yet?..." , he whispered into my ear, I could feel his breathing, I nodded, he reached for my hand and brought me to my room. I sat on my bed while he shut the door and approached and sat beside me.

"I'm sorry about earlier in the morning.. I was.." , he put on of his arm around my waist.

"I understand.", I nodded, blushing.. He just seemed so attractive to me out of a sudden.. He had eyes no one ever had.. A little shade of blue, grey and yellow mixed together..

"You do?.. I thought you never liked me..? Why this sudden.. behaviour?"

"I just want to make everyone happy.. And i can't judge a book by it's cover.. You... Get what i mean right?.." I was uncertain of what i was saying. Even though i felt like was crapping, I hope he understand.

"Oh.." , he moved closer to me. My heart beat quickly, I felt nervous. I wondered what he was going to do, what he would say. All these thoughts came into my mind..

"Ceres, give me a chance.." , he kissed my cheek.

"I already did.." , I blushed again. I admit that he did make me feel uncomfortable, but it was a nice feeling..

"Thank you.."

"Otis, how old are you?.." , i blink my eyes several times because I was extremely curious. He surely isn't my age.

"23..." , he stroked my hair. 'Wow, that's really adult.', I thought to myself. I felt secure when he cuddled me, even if we didn't say much to each other.

"Alright, time for you to go to bed." he pinched my cheek. I giggled and nodded. He moved closer to me and pressed his lips unto mine. I closed my eyes.. His kiss was so gentle.. I hugged him tightly, pressing my lips back. I kissed him, I just felt loved.. He moved away slowly, but i kissed him again. I wished it lasted longer but he pushed me down gently and kissed my forehead.

"Go to sleep.. I'll wake you tomorrow again.." , he covered me with my blanket and kissed me one last time before leaving the room. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. But I failed to, I kept thinking of Otis, he was just stuck in my mind entirely right now.. I blushed and nibbled my blanket.

I couldn't wait for tomorrow... So that I can see him again...
