Works of Love (Hiraeth 2: Max And Chanel)

Chapter 11

"Really? Max said that?" Tres asked with a ghost smirk on his lips.

"Oo! Ayaw niya maging friend si Hopia. Tawag pa naman ni Hopia kay Maximum ay friend charming." Pagchi-chismis ni Heazen.

Nag-video call sila sa groupchat nila. It's almost 11 but nabulabog lahat sa tawag ni Heazen. It's chismis, everyone has to be awake.

"Kawawa naman si Chanel, ni-reject." Cinco said.

"Gago kasi mga Kuya niya, nang-reject kaya si Chanel ang sumasalo ng Karma," gatong pa ni Hinx.

That earned a cursed from Uno and Dos while Tres remained calm. Napansin naman iyon ni Harvie.

"Mukhang gusto mong na-reject si Chanel, ah. You feel relieve that you're not going against to the Benjamin elders for your sister?" Harvie asked.

"You just don't get it, don't you?" 

Mas lalo naman silang naguluhan sa sinabi ni Tres. Tres sighed how slow his cousins and brothers are.

"Do you just wanna be friends with someone you like?" Tres asked.

"Yeah? Ain't that how it started?" Hover said.

Hendrix smirked on Hover's response.

"Friendzone tawag d'on. You'll probably whine if your woman friendzoned you." Hendrix said.

"Whine, my ass. That's  petty." 

And Hinx rained Hover with promising curse saying he'll be friendzoned. Hover remained unbothered.

"So, you mean Tres, Max already likes Chanel more than friends?" Hellion asked.

"You guys are so slow. You think Max has the courage to face us when we guard Chanel on their first date if he doesn't?" Uno said almost rolling her eyes.

"Naks naman na mga Kuya ni chanel, super supportive. Botong-boto kay Max, ah?" Helix teased.

"Organization war is becoming boring, I wanna witness the fight between Sebastian and Benjamin." Tres said.

"Oo nga, 'no? Magpractice na kaya ako ng suntok?" Quatro asked and playfully punched Sais, magkasama ang dalawa dahil may sleepover na naganap. Sais throw a pillow on Quatro's face in revenge.

"Magaling ka nga sa suntukan pero babarilin ka lang. Utak nga, Apat." Sais groaned.

"I don't think there will be Sebastian and Benjamin fight tho." Heilan said. 

"Scam."

Heilan's lips pouted a bit. Their innocent Heilan.

"It's true. Max hated being a Sebastian, right? You think he'll ask for Sebastian's help?" Heilan asked innocently.

"And are we really sure that Max will fight for Chanel?" Hover asked.

And that made everyone silent.

"BEST morning, Hermes!" Chanel greeted her cousin as she opened her eyes. 

 Nakahiga pa rin sila sa kama habang napapagitnaan nila ang bouquet na bigay ni Max na hawak-hawak niya.

Hermes rolled her eyes seeing her still hugging the bouquet.

"Don't tell me pati pag-bath kasama mo 'yan?" Hermes frowned.

"Hmm, hindi ba siya ma-dadamage if mababasa?" Chanel asked.

Hermes groaned.

"Gosh, Chanel Hope! That was sarcasm and you won't bringing that flowers under the shower."
