Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 46

=== P A T C H ===

Benedicto was finally convicted along with his accomplices. His properties were seized and the lands he owned will be reviewed to check the history and authenticity.

For the first time in a long time, I have seen Kylo sleep like he doesn't have a care in the world.

Even with his parents back in the house, he insisted that I sleep beside him. Most of the times, we just really sleep but sometimes, we do more than that.

We fell into that routine in the next weeks to come. Little did he know that I am just maximizing my time with him.

I kissed his forehead before I go out from his bed when he stopped my waist.

"Stay." One word and it crunched me on the inside. I know he meant differently but to me it meant so much more.

"Nanay Carm needs me, Kylo."

"Okay. Come back to bed when you get back?"

I just chuckled before finally leaving his room. I prepared myself again before I face Nanay Carm. I started to accompany her whenever she goes to the market. The vendors even recognize me now and give me snacks.

I spent my days with Kiana and Kylo like a normal day. Like I was gonna stay.

That day, the three of us went to the mall.

"Kuya gusto kong mag-Jollibee."

"Yes, yes. Ano bang gusto mo roon?"

"I like chicken, spaghetti, and sundae!"

"Okay." Kylo was chuckling while driving. Unconsciously, he held my hand and kissed it.

Nang lingunin ko si Kiana ay nakangiti lang ito sa amin. She seemed to get what we were. She was of course the happiest. She was our number one fan.

This undercover got into me that I got so good in pretending that everything was normal and that this would end.

When we got into the mall, we went to the department store and toy stores. Kiana even dragged us to the arcade where we had so much fun.

Nang makarating kami sa Jollibee ay si Kylo ang nag-order. Everybody recognized him of course and greeted him. I'll miss that too. I was usually the photographer whenever his people would take a picture with him.

When the food arrived, the siblings ate heartily. I was just watching them eat. They really looked happy.

"Ate Patch fries please!"

I smiled before putting in a fry in her mouth. She even hugged me after and I did too in return.

Kylo was just looking at us. He has this deep emotion in his eyes that I didn't understand.

After going to the mall, we went to visit his house in the mountaintop.

"Kuya dito ka na lilipat? Iiwan mo na ako kina Mommy?"

"I have to move out, princess. It's long overdue. Ngayon lang ako nagka-oras talaga na lagyan ng furniture itong bahay."

"Magmo-move na kayo ni Ate Patch dito?"

"Try asking her."

Kiana looked at me. "Will you move in with my brother, Ate Patch?"

I was dumbstruck. How am I supposed to answer that? No, because I only have two days remaining with you guys?

"I don't know...he has not asked me."

Lie, Patch. Lie.

"Eh di mo pa pala tinanong eh."
