His Bet

Chapter Forty Six

The morning sunlight was fast as it was never before. I felt like I just slept for an hour or less and yesterday's events crashing back to my head leaving a tiny smile on my lips. Though I'm completely lack of sleep I feel a bit rested. I was going downstairs when I met Brix on the living area.

"How was your sleep? Didn't get any nightmares? Or I just didn't heard you?" He asked in a hush tone.

"Honestly I had. But.. It was tolerable, not beyond my handling." I admitted, maybe that's another factor why do I feel a bit rested.

A slow smile curved onto his lips and his eyes flash with amazement.

"Wow. I mean.. That's good."

"Yeah." I short replied embarrassed.

We settled ourselves to eat breakfast and decided to just do our thing for today. We still stayed here reserving the best activities for the last week of the vacation. The boys were watching football in the living area while I just sit near the window and started opening a book displayed there. I just missed reading.. I take a final glance at the boys and saw them silent than the other weeks we've stayed here. I also notice their less talking and joking around. Is that still because of their brother fight last time? I just shrug the thing off, its their business anyway I don't need to meddle with that.

I was so smitten on what I'm reading when someone cleared their throat that made me jump slightly on the chair I was sitting.

Tristan..

My eyebrows suddenly crease at the sight of him. I mean.. He is a man of a few words and approach and yet he's right in front of me clearing his throat just like he wanted to talk about something or what?

"Yes?" I politely asked.

"Nothing actually. I just got no one to talk with." He coldly replied.

"No one to talk with? Really huh?" I chuckled on that because as if he's the one to initiate a chat. Dang, I don't even know if he can at least form a three sentence long massive phrase.

He chuckled on that. He looks so bright when he smile I think. Such a waste for that white pearls of his.

"So.. How was things right here?" He started. I'm not rude to throw him my monotonous tone and uninterested replies so I'd rather talk to him with interest. It must be his first time to talk like this. Joke.

"Its great. Memorable vacation ever I think. And you? I mean.. How are you about this days?" Okaaaay. So that's lame..

"Same as before. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself here." He replied.

Well, we chit chat for a few minutes and I'm shock in awe that Tristan can actually hold a 15 minutes conversation? I mean.. That's wow! I mentally laughed on that thought. He was actually looking forward for new topics and he can even tell you something you didn't know for ages. Just like he can open your eyes up to new things. I was stunned on how he talk.. He barely but when he does, I don't think you still want him to stop talking. I just find myself enjoying with this thought when Brix appeared in the line of my vision. I automatically feel my breathe hitch and loose some control when I saw him smile at me. I recollect all the courage I could take and look back at Tristan and reply to what's he's saying when Brix come in our way. Before Tristan could say anything Brix appeared on my side acknowledging his brother's presence and turned to me. He wrapped his arm on my shoulder and I mentally swore fuck for him being that showy. Tristan's right here can't you see!

I heard them talk for a moment I can't hold a hear for when Brix plant a kiss on the side of my head before whispering..

"Excited to have just you later sweetheart."
