Jake's POV
We lifted Giselle up onto the lounge. She had zoned out after she completely stacked it down the stairs and landed on the ground with a thud. The other boy, I didn't know his name .. was in the kitchen getting a cup of water for her for when she wakes up. I'm guessing it's her brother..
I crouched down next to the couch. Giselle was asleep peacefully.. Her hair was a mess and strands had fallen over her eyes. I reached out to tuck them behind her ears when the other boy coughed loudly behind me. I immediately reacted and stood up.
"Uh, anyway.." the boy looked at me wierdly and placed the cup on the table.
"Tyson" he continued, reaching out his hand.
"Jake" I reached out and he firmly shook my hand.
"Are you her brother ?" I asked, looking around the house at the framed photos hanging on the walls. I could see baby pictures of Giselle with her mother and father (I was guessing) but didn't see any of Tyson.
"Cousin" he replied. I looked back at him and he stood there arms folded. He stared me down.
"K.. Uh, could you stop that ?" I asked uncomfortably. Well, half asked. I meant it more as a statement. His eyes didn't budge.
"Stop what ?" he asked innocently.
"Staring at me as if your about to rape someone". This guy's freaky. Maybe he was gay. Well, he didn't exactly look it. He was tall and muscular - I could tell he went to the gym a couple of times a week.. He had short spiky hair and was tanned. Darker than me. One look at the guy and you'd know that he's a ladies man. He looked very much innocent but I could tell behind his eyes he had a very dark evil side to him. But I guess, everyone does.
His eyes were no longer on me and I followed his glare - only to land on Giselle. She was still on the couch but her eyes were wide open. She slowly began sitting up but Tyson rushed to her side, motioning her to lay back down again. She weakly smiled and Tyson stretched out his arms. She slowly laid back with Tyson's arm around her neck. Deep in my stomach, I felt a lump of jealousy. I ignored it. Pft, Jake.. Tyson is her cousin, why am I getting jealous ? He's just being a good family member, I thought to myself.
He got the cup of water in his other hand and slowly brought it to Giselle's perfect lips. She slowly sipped the water and she finally had the strength to sit up. Her head turned to me and I don't think she realised I was there before because her eyes widened and she quickly looked down. I suddenly had a rise in temperature and I felt nervous.
"A-are you ok ?" I asked quietly, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she answered shyly.
"Look, Jake. I appreciate your presence here but Giselle really needs to rest up. It's better if you just go" Tyson said sharply, giving me the wierd look again.
"Giselle ?" I asked, hoping for her support. I didn't want to leave Giselle unless I knew for sure that she felt alright.
"Yeah, Tyson's right. It'll probably be better if you just go" she sighed, not looking at me. She stared at the ground.
"Oh.. Ok then.. I'll just give you a ring tomorrow then" I added in before leaving the room. Tyson stood up and walked me to the door. I took one step out the door and was about to turn around to say goodbye to Tyson when I heard a slam ! I turned around to see that Tyson had shut the door just as I took a step out of the house. I grunted. Gosh, well its someones time of the month, I chuckled. PMS much ?
