My Retribution

Part 65

Kirk's POV

After Grandma talked to Freen and apologized to me the environment at home became lighter, no longer gloomy or suffocating. Grandma made sure to spend time with us and our relationship became happier. We eat together during breakfast and dinner. Freen became livelier as well. She stopped drinking alcohol and ate on time. She sleeps on time too. She eats twice as much as before. She basically had a bigger appetite. She's coming back to her old self which is healthy living. This made  Grandma happy that she lets Freen visit Thailand.

Freen only visits Thailand to see Rebecca once or twice a month with Grandma's permission of course. She still doesn't talk to her and she still keeps her distance but this time she buys things for Rebecca. She then orders someone to give it to Rebecca saying that it's the shop's anniversary and she's lucky to be given a free gift, or she's the 50th customer and therefore she's given a freebie. Rebecca is always surprised and grateful since these gifts that she's been receiving are quite expensive whether it would be food or not. Freen comes out with these excuses.  She also takes pictures from time to time. She doesn't take stolen pictures of Rebecca cause she said it would be creepy but she takes a selfie all the time and if you look closely Rebecca is always on her background.

It was the weekend when Grandma decided to invite Nita to have a sleepover at night. Remember when Nita asked permission to invite Freen to Paris. Since Freen can't travel Grandma apologized and she offered a room for Nita to stay for as long as she wants and she can come over anytime she likes. I promised Grandma to get Freen closer to Nita so I want to grab this opportunity to do so.

Nita suggested to watch on Netflix and I agreed. I chose a horror story and let them sit together. Freen is not scared of horror or ghosts but she is scared of the dark and she's easily surprised. She's ok to watch it as long as the living room is bright. I played The Exorcist movie. During the first films all of us are quiet and focus on watching it. Through time you can hear screams from Freen as she holds and hides in my arms so I pretended to use the bathroom and never went back to my sit. The movie is getting scarier that Freen is now pushing herself to Nita as she tries to hide. Nita is not scared at all and she was actually amused to Freen's reaction.

Nita: (smiling) You're so cute, honey. Come. No need to squeeze yourself. I will hug  and protect you.

Freen looked at Nita seriously. Freen doesn't like hearing the word protect you cause it makes her feel weak, so she immediately fixed herself and kept her distance to Nita.

Freen: (trying to act cool but has a trembling voice) It's okay Nini. There's no need.

Freen tried her best to act like she's not scared but her hands are covering her eyes while her fingers are spread for her to take a peak from time to time.

Nita's hand is still spreading wide waiting for Freen. I know that Nita is just waiting for Freen to get scared so that she can hug her. To help Nita out I maxed the TV'S volume and the movie had a loud surprising noise that made Freen scream with it. She was so startled and scared that she threw herself into Nita's arms. Nita hugged Freen tightly and I saw her blush. Freen will apologize to Nita as she removes herself from Nita's embrace but from time to time she always goes back to Nita's hugs. After a few hours the movie is over and Freen looks like a kid about to cry. I want to console her but I stopped myself. Nita began comforting Freen so I grab water and ice cream and gave it to Nita secretly. I told her to give it to Freen and advise her to watch SpongeBob or the Minions to make her feel better. Nita thanked me and she did what I told her. When I saw Freen laughing at the minions, I decided to leave them alone. "I always knew that I will never be more than a friend or a brother to Freen. I thought helping Nita would be as painful as seeing Freen with Rebecca but to my surprise I don't. I don't feel jealous at all."
