I got out of the room and went downstairs. As I got down, I headed to the dinning room. There I saw Mommy, Jasper and Kenneth on the dinning table.
"Come on Tin, the food is waiting", he said patting on the chair next to him.
WTH!! He acted as if nothing happened!
I felt my face burning up, but I know for sure that I'm not blushing. I'm angry. >:(
"What?" he asked, bringing me back to reality.
"Are you falling in love with me?" he added raising his brows playfully.
I became furious.
Though a gritted teeth I replied sarcastically, "Yes Jasper, I am in love with you. I can't surpass these feelings anymore. Will you become my boyfriend?"
He was surprised at my answer. His eyes widened at the same time, his jaw dropped.
Though, it wasn't only him, even Mommy was shocked.
I just sat down ignoring their priceless expressions.
"A..Are you serious?" Jasper asked with a hopeful voice.
I looked at him to study his face and then I looked at Mommy.
"I was just joking", I said with a poker face.
Then I heard Mommy sigh.
I realized what I did and lowered my head. I went too far.
"Sorry", I whispered.
I raised my head and faced Mommy and Jasper. They gave me a sad smile.
Guilt.
"Mommy, aren't we eating yet? I'm hungry", whined Kenneth.
We faced the young boy who is sitting right next to Jasper. He was so cute! >/////<
He is so cute that I want to strangle him.
“Of course dear”, she replied to the young lad and he smiled in return.
“But before that, let me introduce to you your big sister, Christine Seo”, she added.
“Noona?” he asked with his cutest voice.
“Yes dear, your noona”, she answered sweetly to the boy.
“Nice to meet you Kenneth”, I greeted with a smile.
“Nice to meet you too noona”, he replied with his innocent smile showing his perfect white teeth.
“Okay”, Mommy said. “Let’s pray”, she added.
We prayed then started eating. After dinner, I carried my plate to the sink and insisted the maid, Anabeth that I’ll help. But she said that she can do it herself. I just left.
I went upstairs to sleep but someone tugged my shirt. I turned around and saw Kenneth.
“What’s wrong Kenneth?”
“Can I sleep with you tonight?”
Why?
“Why? Can’t you go to Mommy or to Jasper instead?”
He was silent for a moment.
“They lock their doors every night. I think they don’t want to be disturbed", the poor child explained, sounding so desperate to find someone he can be with for the night.
"Okay", I replied with a smile.
"I'll just take a shower, you wait inside your room."
"Okay", he replied then went inside his room.
