Chapter 1: Piggy-Rabbit

 Blue's POV:


Pitch black.


That was all i could ever see. My body feels as if i'm floating, i feel so numb all over. 


Suddenly a man's back is infront of me, he has such a wide and muscular back. So well-defined, he even has a well detailed angel wings tattooed on the lowest part of his neck, at the top most  middle of his back. 


I tried reaching for him, to caress those beautiful wings imprinted on his silky white skin. Even just looking at his back takes my breath away, he's probably a gorgeous man. 


He started walking away from me, seeming as though he's determined to stay away from me.

"No, don't go" i tried shouting but i remain voiceless.


He's starting to fade away in the darkness now, i need to chase him. Quick.


"Don't go!!" I shouted as i fall from my bed.


Groaning and rubbing the newly formed bump on my forehead, i squinted my eyes. 

It's that dream again, i thought to myself.

It's been three days since i keep on having that dream. I wonder what it means, i don't think i know someone that has such a beautiful angel wings tattooed at their back.


Sighing internally, i stood up and started stretching. Another quiet morning at this mansion, i don't think i'll ever get used to it even though i should have already. 


I started for the bathroom to get a shower and to let my thoughts drown me at the same time.

Who is he? Have i met him before? What does that dream mean? 


My head's starting to hurt from all the thinking i've been doing for the last couple of days, this is starting to frustrate me.


*knock, knock*


"Miss, your breakfast is already prepared and waiting for you at the dining hall. The car's also ready so please call me anytime you need so" 

I stiffened at the voice just behind my door, his voice sounded so monotone. He's being so formal with me.. i suddenly felt a pang inside of me and my eyes started burning with tears ready to spill out.


"Miss?" Adrian called out. Right. That's what i am to him, his master.

"Okay, i'll be finished in a bit" i grunted out, trying to clear my voice with any emotion.

"Understood" he all but said too plainly. I heard his footsteps decreasing and i sighed. It's still early in the morning, but why do i already feel so tired?


I started finishing up and gathering my drafts for the winter collection. I need to get to my dad's office in order to give him my new designs. Hopefully, this time he'll praise me and maybe one day treat me better. 

"Yeah, right. As if" my thoughts are filled with negativity but only because i already know what he's gonna say.


After finishing up breakfast all alone as always, i gathered up my belongings and told the head maid not to make lunch because i will be back home late today. Once i was in the car i once again checked my portfolio to see if all 20 designs are inside. Wouldn't want my dad to get angry with me again. 


"We will be arriving at head master's office in 30 minutes, there seems to be a bit of traffic today miss so it will take longer than it used to be. Will that be okay with you, miss?"

Startled, i whipped my head up. Getting a tiny bit dizzy from the whiplash, my jaw fell a tiny bit as i stared at Adrian.

"Where's old man John? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be my father's driver already?" My eyes were probably as round and as big as saucers from my shock. I'm getting awkward and nervous, i hate reacting this way around him. I'm being too obvious.


"Head master has given me permission to once again be your driver and bodyguard after my service for him of two years. He said.. that it was enough time for us both to learn our lesson. Old man John is now back to being head master's servant in my stead, Miss" Adrian shyly explains, he even started getting red in the ears as he rubs his neck. As expected, he's trying to avoid eye contact as much as possible.


"Oh" was all i could muster up, after two long years.. that was all i could pretty much say to him.

I started snapping out of it as he clears his throat.

"Nevermind then, i would like to take the bus today. The weather's good." I started opening the car door and gathering my stuff as i hurriedly and panickly try to run away.


"Miss!" Adrian shouted as he chased after me. He grabbed my arm and twisted me to look at him.

"Please, Blue. Take the car, i want you to be safe" Adrian's chocolate brown eyes pleaded just like how he would always do whenever he requests something from me which he only does rarely.


"Let go" i dropped my head, i couldn't bear to look at his beautiful face. With his brown hair all brushed up and his deep dimples showing, there's no way no one would not swoon over or even slightly sway from him.


"Please. I just want you safe" his grip tightens on my arm. I started to feel blood rushing to my face, it's been long enough since we've both made contact with each other. Way too long.

"Enough already" i yanked my arm as hard as i could and looked him in the eye.


"Enough already" i repeated, this time i couldn't handle my voice breaking as i looked up at him. He suddenly stiffened and left his hand dangling in the air as he froze not knowing what to do.


Taking that as an opening, i started running as fast as my legs could towards the bus station. I didn't try worrying about my appearance anymore or if someone saw my shorts underneath my swaying skater skirt. It was starting to feel chilly, my ears and nose getting red from the nippy air and my lips starting to redden and plump up from all the hard lip biting that i did in order to hold back the tears that threaten to gush out.


I ran faster and faster, like a lion bitten in the bum. I squeezed my eyes close as it started to sting from the force of stopping my tears. 

I saw angel wings and my eyes widened at the sight, then suddenly i bumped so hard at a brick wall. 


"Umph" my bum fell hard on the concrete that it started to make me yelp out in pain. I started rubbing it in order to ease the pain.


"Next time, look where you're going little girl. That's why you have eyes so that you could see things" a deep voice suddenly lectured me. I looked up expecting a talking brick wall, but all i ever saw was an extremely tall and breath taking man.


He has the most raven black hair i've ever seen in my life, his full and thick dark brows were furrowed so hard. His peircing grey eyes shooting at me like daggers, and his tomato cherry like lips were just pieces made in heaven. His jaw was so sharp that i bet if i touched it then my fingers would not only be cut but be completely gone. Not only does he have such a breath taking face, but a one hell of a fine body. 


I gulped as it feels like my throat went dry just looking at this man.

"Someone bring me juice! I'm having a buffet tonight just looking at him!" My mind seems to sky rocket and blow up.


"If you've got time to stare, why not apologize to me? Your head must have been made from steel" He all but rougly said to me. Jesus, his voice just makes me speechless.


After a while, his words suddenly registered and anger suddenly bursted out of me. I stood up at pointed at him and started roughly poking at his hard chest.


"Excuse me? You're the one who was in the middle of the side walk. Who said you could stop and stay in the middle like you own this street! And don't even call me a little girl because i'm already 23 and your insults are nothing but childish! Jerk" I started to huff and puff from my outburst. I retracted my pointer finger and started to rub it as his chest was just so dang hard.


"Woah there, rabbit. Cool your head and make sure to properly clean your knee" he suddenly ruffled up my raven hair just like how you would a little girl as he walked away.

"Rabbit?! What?! Clean my knee?? How disrespectful! Do i look like someone dirty?" All of a sudden, i started to feel a sting of pain on my right knee, and when i looked down i saw how slightly scraped it was.

"Oh" i turned beet red from the realization that i just humiliated myself in public.


"Pft" i heard him laugh a tiny bit. It only seemed to tick me off, so being the childish person that i really am i stucked my tongue out and used my pointer finger to push my nose upwards to make a piggy nose. It was my way of retaliating him at his back.


I felt smug but all of a sudden he turned around and we both frozed. Him wide-eyed from the childish act a 23 years old working female is doing, and me the said 23 years old working female frozen in that embarassing position. I couldn't move my finger from my nose and my tongue as i turned another dark shade of red from the embarassment.

The breath taking stranger suddenly started laughing so hard that it not only shocked me but also the people around us as his laughter was so loud i bet he could be heard even from my house.


After a while, he suddenly started getting conscious that we both were being watched so he straightened himself and cleared his throat. He smirked at me before turning back around and raised his right hand, waving at me. 


"Thanks for the entertainment, piggy-rabbit"


What. The. Hell.


Who is he calling Piggy-rabbit?!?!
