Your Secret is safe with Me [On Hold]

Part 17

"How's your exam?", Mom asks Kevin as she slices the piece of chicken on her plate.

Kevin shrugged. "Just need to wait for the results. I think I would not fail the exams."

"You think so?", Dad asked, emphasizing the word think. He took a sip of his usual black coffee. Dinner wouldn't be complete without the aroma of Dad's coffee.

"Yeah.", Kevin simply answered.

They continued to discuss Kevin's exam. All the while, I'm still processing what Kevin told me a while ago.

Does Raphael have a girlfriend?

Since when?

To think we did what we did?

Are they dating when we...

No no no. I don't think Raphael would do that. But am I sure Raphael really wouldn't do that?

I know we did some naughty stuff. And as reckless as I might sound, I don't effin care whatever happens between us as long as no person gets hurt.

If he is into that girl, then what happened shouldn't have happened in the first place.

What am I to Raphael?

Am I just a friend's sister? Does he think of me as his sister? I don't think so.

Unless he's a psycho who has a weird fetish for his sister.

After our dinner, I decided to get a quick bath. But that quick bath went from 15 minutes to 45 minutes. I lost track of time thinking about Raphael and the things we did.

What if she is indeed his girlfriend? Well, I don't care if she's his girlfriend NOW. What matters to me is if he's dating her when we DID those stuff.

Argh! This is driving me nuts. How would I know the answer to my questions if I can't even talk to Raphael?

He's avoiding me. I just know it.

Argh. Whatever.

After I showered, I decided to do my home-works.

I was doing my Mathematics assignment when Kevin knocked and peeked inside my room.

"Do you have a minute?", he asked.

I raised my left hand to signal him to stop without looking at him. "Wait, give me one minute. I'm about to solve this last question.", I murmured.

I smiled to myself when I finished all 10 questions.

I put my pencil on the page I'm solving and closed the book.

"Yep. What's it?"

He opened the door and entered. "Do you remember the painting job I once mentioned?"

I tried to remember what he was referring to. Oh, yeah. He mentioned something like that before.

"Harry Potter?", I asked.

"Yeah. My friend's already back in town. Can you do it over the weekends?"

This weekends? I can't do it within just two days. I think he already knew what was running inside my head. And so he said,

"Raphael's going to help you."

I know. He already mentioned that before and Raphael already agreed.

But that was BEFORE. That was before all the drama.

I think he knew what I was thinking so he said,

"Don't worry. I'll talk with Raphael."

He seemed so sure. I nodded and said thank you. I just wish Raphael would say yes.
