Invisible

Chapter 29

I woke up with Darren and Lyn hugging me. I wasn't in between the two of them, but somehow, Darren managed to reach me even though Lyn was in between the two of us because of his long arms. Lyn's small and short arm was thrown to my torso while Darren's was only above Lyn's arm. These kids, what were they trying to do to me?

Suddenly, Lyn started to stir in her sleep and started to stretch her limbs. I made a mental note before that if Lyn does that, it was a sign that she was about to wake up. Her small eyes started to open, and she looked around her place then her eyes landed on me. I smiled to her and she smiled back. Darren, being the light sleeper that he is; must've felt Lyn's movement and started to bring up his hand to his face and slightly scratches the sleep from his eyes. "Good morning,"

I smiled to him and whispered, "Good morning to you, too."

"Did I over slept?" he asked. "I usually wake up earlier than you,"

"No, it's just 7 in the morning," I said slightly, though I was a little offended in a good way when he thought that he over slept, only because I was first to be up. "How was your sleep?" I asked both him and Lyn.

"Mine was good!" Lyn chirped happily between the two of us. "I had a dream and both of you were in the dream I had!" she said. My arm was wrapped around her and her brother's arm was around the two of us. Though it sounds a little kinky, it feels like we were a family in one bed and having early conversations. Too early that none of the three of us bothered to get up and brush our teeth first.

Darren smiled down to his young sister. "Really?" he asked, "What were we doing in your dream, then? Were we doing something fun?" he asked his sister and gave me a look. I just rolled my eyes over how green minded my boyfriend was.

The youngest member of the Espanto family smiled at the two of us. "I forgot what it was called, but it starts with a W..." she said and tried to remember what word she forgot. "Wedding!"

I don't know whose face is redder, mines or Darren's.

Darren managed to hide his blush and look at Lyn to ask her another question. "Really?" he asked, "Can you tell me and Ate Nicole what the wedding was like? Can you describe it?"

Not noticing my redness, Lyn smiled and went on. "Sure, Kuya," she says. "There were a lot of flowers, I thought they were cute coz they were pink and they had big petals," she described and I smiled when I assumed that the flowers were stargazer lilies, "There was a red carpet at the middle of the aisle of a big and very beautiful church!" she exclaims.

Darren leaned in and went nearer to me. "Listen up to Lyn, that might be our dream wedding, you'll never know," he says with a smile. I ended up being crimson headed but I managed to slap Darren's arms so he won't notice how red I was becoming. My dearest boyfriend just laughed at me.

"Then you were in front, wearing a very formal attire," Lyn goes on as she said it to her Kuya, and believe it or not, me and Darren were so attentive to listen to her. "Ate Nicole was at the back, she was wearing a very beautiful white gown. But her face was hidden behind the thin fabric of a veil." She said. "She was holding a small bouquet of the same cute pink flowers."

"A very slow song was playing." She said and made a narrowed look to her brother, "Not Domino coz that's so ugly for weddings," she teased her brother and stuck her tongue out. "Then Ate Nicole started walking through the aisle, TitaAmelia was beside her, and I was beside her too!" she beamed. "I was wearing a small version of her gown and the two of us were pretty!"

I smiled at the two members of the Espanto family I am with. Lyn's dream was definitely something extravagant for a regular kid's dream. Come to think of it, regular kids usually dreams of themselves. But little Lynelle here dreamt of me and her brother. And to add it, it was a wedding of the two of us and the set up of the dream form of the wedding was definitely perfect and ideal. I wonder if I would really have that type of wedding in the future and have Darren as my groom. No double meanings though, I really wish in the deepest parts of my heart to have him as my groom and add his surname in my name.

"Mama was wearing a green dress," I thought Lyn was finished but she went on with her story. "Green because you said that you liked green so much," she said to her older brother. "Everyone was smiling when Ate Nicole started to walk through the aisle." Lyn made two fingers and made it move as if showing me a walk with her tiny fingers.

"I think she's trying to show that she wants herself to be our little bride," Darren whispered to me, "I mean, I heard of that thing. I think she likes the idea of being the little bride in the wedding."

I looked at him. "So, you're really planning of marrying me?" I asked him and if I was not mistaken, I therefore say that I saw Darren have a tint of pink on his cheeks. I can't help but smile at him.

"Then, she reached the front of the church, to you," she points a finger to her KuyaDarren. "The two of you were smiling, it was so obvious that you were so happy," she says in a mild tone, as if telling us a very good story and she wants us to feel the mood of the story she was telling.

I looked at Darren and he looked at me too. We locked eyes for the mean time. Probably taking in every inch of our looks. I bet Darren was seeing a terrible view. My morning look isn't really the best look I can offer to a viewer. But Darren's face was so mesmerizing, I feel like I was staring to a God. But then I thought that I would be lucky to have him as a husband. A husband with a heck of good looks. Can someone please inform me how lucky I am to have him?

The previous hours have been a blur of rehearsals with Darren in his house and preparing for the finals. To be honest, even if Darren hasn't won the contest yet, he was more than just famous in the country and worldwide. If you try to open his accounts, it was flooded with different messages from fans and other talent discovering networks. You can say how proud I have been for my boyfriend.

Right now, we were hanging out in the living room of the house with Lyn, just watching some cartoons with the kid while I play with her hair. Darren on the other hand, tried copying me but with my hair. Honestly, I was jealous with how light his hands were and how relaxing they get when they grab hold of your hair. I want to question his masculinity because of how skilful he is with hair, but I never dared to ask him. You'll never know how he'll take it in so it would be just better to shut up.

"How come you cannot perfect doing pig tails on Lyn's hair?" he asked me with a light chuckle when he noticed my hard time with Lyn's soft hair. I've been trying to do some hair styles with the kid but my hands weren't as coordinated as I wish they are. "It's so easy. And your hair is longer that hers but I can manage to do it better than how you can do it with Lyn's short hair."

"Well, I have never done hair styles with anyone, duh," I told him as if reminding him that I never had a sibling... well, not until now. "I mean, yeah I had Parry but she was as boyish as me, too! This is a little foreign in my perspective!"

"Lucky for me I got Lyn," he laughed as he took the strands of hair from my hand and tied it perfectly by pig tails. "I can practice even though I'm a guy and I am completely straight."

I looked at him for a while and admired how mild and relaxed his face was. He was sixteen but he looked like a weird combination of young and mature. I don't know, it was a really hard deciphering to do when you come face to face with DarrenEspanto. "Is there a problem?"

"Nothing," I answered quickly. "I was just... staring at you."

"Yeah, obviously," he laughed.

"Darren," I called him out of the blue, making him hum in response as he sat there with full hands as he busied himself with his sister's hair. He's doing a girl job but the way it looks, he still managed to stay hot while making pig tails on Lyn's hair. How did he manage to do that? "I was wondering... If you win in the contest," I stammered, "Nothing would change, right?"

He shook his head then gave me one of his perfect smiles. "Of course there would be nothing that would change," he said, "Besides, I have plans for the future. You'll never know if Lyn's dream was already a premonition for the end track of our relationship." Then the two of us smiled.
