Family
"Congratulations," most of the students appraised Latrelle even the opposite team.
They shook hands and tapped each other's back. Since I'm the maid of Latrelle's family, I lifted his things and handed him a bottle of water and a face towel.
"Is that good?" he made a thumbs up.
He stretched his arm on my shoulder while walking. I felt his sticky sweat arms.
His teammates and other varsity player whistled. The other girls left in the gymnasium stare at me badly.
The envy of the year.
My eyes rolled again.
"You don't need to put your arms on my shoulder. You're not my boyfriend," I madly said and walked before me.
"Woah! Did you agree with that? She made you feel weak!" his teammates teased him.
I can sense that Latrelle smiled differently even if I didn't saw him behind my back.
I walked faster because of having a feeling that Latrelle wanted to tease me. The moment I got out of their school, I reach a store nearby to sit.
"If you're not going to by, don't display yourself on there," the lady use her fan like I'm such a pest that the owner of the store trying to kick me away.
I stood up and put my hand on my waist. "Okay, I'm going to buy!," I pulled out my money.
"Soft drink!"
"What? A soft drink?" she confirmed and her eyes became firm.
"Yes! There isn't a hard drink, right?"
"There is! An alcoholic liquor" she corrected me.
"I see then! But I want a soft drink only," she didn't make any comment on what I've said.
I carefully dropped Latrelle's thing on the chair. I massage my shoulders and elbow.
These things looked heavy than me.
"Here! Next time, don't display yourself here if you don't buy anything" the eyebrows of the lady met.
She might think that her rollers made her beautiful.
I smirked and drank. I can't even breathe when I drank it straightly. The soft drink suddenly empties because of my thirst a while ago.
Having a deep breath while staring at the students exited on the big gate of the school. They rode on a tricycle while the others have a service or own transportation.
I placed my chin over my hand and close my eyes when I felt the air. This hot feeling isn't present at home.
"Why do your eyes closed?"
I almost jumped because of seeing a tall guy. He picked his own things one at a time and pulled my hand without my permission.

"Oh! Wait a minute! You're too hilarious with that!" he faced me stronger and I stood still.
He stopped. "I'll treat you. You don't want?"
I stared at him. He looked serious so...
I walked before him.
"Let's go! Just at least you told me earlier"
He heaved a deep sigh.
"I'm inside the car," he lazily stated.
I invited him to walked before me since I don't know because of finding where the parking lot of their school is.
It's better that's just near because I'm tired of walking.
I rode beside him after he opened the door for me.
When we're on the road, no one spoke up. The only sound we heard is the loud sound of the car's machine and his deep breath. Maybe if he's tired he won't try to tease me.
We went to a mall. I entered first an Italian restaurant. He remained silent as he pinpoint his order on the menu to the waiter. While I don't even know what am I gonna order.
I touched my nape." Uhm......Is it allowed to....lasagna? Do you have?"
Instead of staring at the waiter, I'm staring at Latrelle. His face towel covered his mouth using his hand. His shoulder shrugged up and down.
"Frullato de puta..," I stared at Latrelle sharply. " I'm sorry, it's Fruta,"
"Thank you, Ma'am"
I placed my hand over my chin on the table while looking at the guy whose been happy in front of me.
"What's funny, Aurelius?" I raised my eyebrow.
"Oh, you looked angry. Rawr!," I felt a little mystery as to how he even said that.
"Don't trip me. The mere fact that you're using to it on prestigious restaurant" I crossed my arms and laid my back on the chair.
"You instead brought me to a simple restaurant. Porridge is good for me"
I don't know why I was like melting on his looked so I sat properly.
"You! What the! Don't stare at me!"
He smirked. "Am I sending shiver on your spine?" He laughed a little. "That's natural. The man whose staring at you is handsome that's why it's natural.
I made a face and didn't say anything. The silence filled the ambience because we're both staring outside.
When the food is serving, the click of the utensils is heard between us.
I can't help to stare at him. There's only a thing that I wanted to know. In every, consume he make, are the tiredness shown in his eyes. His shoulder looked tired and his charisma is different.
"By the way, Latrelle. What does your family being busy on?"
He looked at me, causing my foreskin to raise. I felt an afraidness.
"Ahm...I'm sorry! You have the right not to answer it" I fake a laughed. His eyes became serious while staring outside.
"My mama said she's busy with her work. She only went home oftentimes but I'm happy because I still saw her..." there's tiredness in his voice. "I still saw her now" I followed his eyes looking in a direction.
"That's my mama together on her friend she introduced. That's even glad, right?" it feels like there's a thing inside my heart causing that not to breathe properly.
My eyes stare again at the food.
"Sorry.." I bit my lower lip.
"You doesn't have a sin" he continues eating.
We silently got outside the restaurant and followed him in his car.
The next thing I knew is he brought me to a big house. The moment we came inside, five maids welcomed him. They didn't greet him instead of making a bow.
He went to his room and invited me and put his trophy as the MVP player.
I searched for what Marcus said. Pictures are being displayed, one of those is mine but there's a lot other than mine that portraits a girl that I didn't know.
I looked at the small pictures. "Who's she? Why does she have a lot of pictures here?"
"Nothing. Just don't look at them.
Minutes have passed and the door suddenly opened.
There's a lady who appeared wearing a dress and she was exactly like Latrelle.
"La...Latreille!," she teary-eyed said and hugged him.
