His Bet

Chapter Thirty Nine

Brix

I followed Red outside because I know something is up and I don't think its good. I ask him what was that but instead of answering he asked me the same question with a mocking tone. I don't get what's that for but I do got a feeling that its about Ace. And as if on cue she appears on the scene. She pace over Red and ask what's wrong or is he mad at her. My vision suddenly snap on their skin contact. How Ace hold him without flinching and its on her own will to do so. Well, a hug from her last night is not bad for 2 months I mentally shrug trying to fight the pang of jealousy. Red throw me a-stay-away-from-here look. He doesn't need to elaborate it so I back off but I still watch them just on my vicinity so I know when Ace needs me. They talk and there are that smile that lingers through Ace's face. I don't know what's that smile for but how I wish I'm the one who make her do that.. Before I can think any more of my thoughts I saw Red offer his forearm as Ace slings her arm on Red's and I locked my jaw as he stare at me with that look.

Burn Brix. Its now your turn to get jealous.

I smirk at him throwing my We'll-see look then they were out of my sight.

I don't know what they are up to but I just let them be. I'll be having Ace anyway at night so I don't need to worry. Oh how I wish I can't worry if its about her. Maybe I can just work on things, Ace is still not forthcoming of agreeing to see a shrink idea but I bet she's thinking of it and how I wish she'll agree with that. The boys and ma asked me what's with the scene earlier but I just shrug it off saying that the man won't talk about it aside from Ace. We just left that behind and carry on eating. I need to divert at least my jealous aura I can't be worrying all this time so I asked Chris.

"What's for today?" With my let's get back to business tone. Red and Ace are back and they took again a sit, Red apologize for his rude attitude a while ago mostly for grandma and continue the disturbed breakfast.

"We pretty much done almost everything so we are saving the best for last maybe for the next month. Guess we just have to stay for a few days here Tristan suggested."

"Well not bad."

"Good then boys. You should have at least take a rest for your activities I'm afraid this is not a vacation to relax at all." Ma agreed.

"It's okay ma. We are not able to do this things after we get back to the city." Tristan answered. We carry on talking and the sudden outburst of Red is now covered up but I still kept glancing Ace trying to gauge her reaction but she seems occupied and having that look again written on her face. I didn't bother to filter my mouth from asking..

"You okay kitty?" I almost called her baby. I mentally sigh because that was too close.

She snapped her head up maybe shocked she heard her nickname from me.

"I'm good."

We finished breakfast and done our tasks. We just gather ourselves on the living room and the boys are pretty much bored and so am I. We've been so used having activities outdoors and this is different. Red and Ace excused themselves to watch a movie they don't want us to be there so Red warned us not to invade. The moment the two was gone I saw how silly my brothers look at me..

"Heard you were with Ace downstairs at the maids room last night huh. You're not forthcoming with telling this bro. Guess you have to fill us this one." Simon said wiggling his eyebrow. I knew it.. Chris will tell them about it.

"Looks like Chris didn't told you exactly why's that bro."

"What? That Ace is thirsty and you get a blanket from the maids room?" Kalvin joked emphasizing my lame reason. Of course they are my brothers, sure they know every nerve about me.
