Chapter 2: Siblings Not

-Macey's POV-

"Macey, who's that cute boy who just came out of your house? Is he your brother?", my friend, Nikka asked.

I turned to her with a scrunched face. "No he's not! And he will never be!"

"Chill! You don't have to growl at me. It's just that, he's cute. And I think I have a crush on him. How old is he anyway?", Nikka said staring at the now nine-year-old Zed.

Crush? Of all boys, why Zed?

I became more irritated by what I just heard. "Will you stop that? Or else......forget we are friends.", I uttered then left.

-Nikka's POV-

I was left speechless.. "What's wrong with her?", I asked myself while staring at her walking away.

Wait.. I think I know now..

-Dan's POV-

"Hey there lil' dude!", I greeted Zed who's busy dribbling his ball.

Zed stopped dribbling and put the ball in between his right arm and hip. "Hey there big dude!", Zed replied. Yep. We have some sort of endearment.

In three years that we're living together, after Celia and I got married, we have developed a friendly bond.

"Uhm..... I think you should stop calling me little. I'm already taller than Macey.", Zed continued. This boy grows fast. Oh well, part of his American genes from his biological father, of course.

"Okay, okay. Look.. I really want to talk with you about Macey. You know that I'll be leaving soon right? So....I need you to look after Macey. After all, you two are siblings now.", I said. I'm working for the navy and it's the first time that I'll be sent overseas. I'm worried how Macey will deal with it. Though she's two years older than Zed, the latter seems more mature.

"Well....Macey's kinda grumpy at all times, but sure I'll look after her. BUT!...she ain't going to be my sibling. I still want to marry her someday.", he stated. Zed is actually very vocal about this......to me and his Mom. I don't think Macey knows.

I just laughed. He sounded so sure. "We'll talk about that when you're all grown up. For now, let's just play.", I said and grabbed the ball from Zed and started dribbling.

-Zed's POV-

I plopped down the couch beside Macey.  Macey was startled and was interrupted from thinking, I think. Her father had been gone for almost a month now and she misses him badly.

"Go away.", she pushed me, not too hard.

"Hey! That's rude! Your Papa told me to look after you so I won't go away.", I replied.

"Stop acting as if your my brother. Plus I am older than you. I can take care of myself.", she said grouchily. What??

"Hey! I am not acting like your brother! I never want to be your brother! We are not siblings and we'll never be siblings!", I shouted defending myself.

Macey seemed offended. "Well, the feeling is mutual!", she spit.

My face lighted up. Teasing time!! "Really? You like me too?! I knew it!", I almost jumped from my seat.

"Huh?", blushing Macey mumbled. She blushed!!

"You said the feeling is mutual. I like you. That means you like me too!", me, beaming.

"Uh....uh...o-of co-course not!".. Macey's face turned red. She ran upstairs.

*Of course you do..* Aaargh!! I think I'm blushing too? Ugh! So gay! Scratch that!al
