#GT011

Weeks had already passed and Thirdy was still not hanging out with Bea. He decided to detached himself with her, maybe in that way, he could forget his feelings towards her.

"Kuya," Dani called Thirdy's attention. He was watching NBA in their living room. "Would you mind if I ask for Ate Bea's number?"

Thirdy's brows furrowed. "Why?"

"I'll just ask her something." she simply replied. "Please."

Thirdy heaved out a sigh. He wanted to argue with his sister but he didn't have enough energy to do so. "Fine. 0919467****"

Dani smiled at her brother. "Thanks, Kuya!" then she ran back to her room and sent Bea a message.

Thirdy was having lunch with his family and Tricia, when the doorbell rang. Dani quickly got up on her seat and volunteered to open the gate.

"We have a visitor!" Dani announced as she walked inside the dining room. "Ate Bea's here!"

Bea shyly smiled at everyone. "Hello!" she greeted.

Mozzy stood up from her seat and walked towards her. "Hello, Bea. I missed you."

"I missed you, too, Tita Mozzy." Bea replied, kissing Mozzy's cheek. "Sorry to disturb your lunch, though."

Mozzy shook her head. "No, it's okay. Join us." Mozzy guided Bea to sit beside Dani. "Ate Beth, pakuha naman po ng plate for Bea."

Bea glanced at Thirdy and gave him a small smile. "Hello, Thirds."

Thirdy just nodded at her, acknowledging her presence but he didn't bother to greet her back.

Bea heaved out a deep sigh. She really couldn't think of the reason why Thirdy was suddenly giving her the cold treatment. As far as she could remember, she didn't do anything wrong to him.

"How are you, Bei?" Kiefer asked Bea.

"I'm good, Manong Kief." Bea replied. "Focus sa studies habang wala pang training."

Kiefer nodded in affirmation. "That's good, Bea. Hindi tulad ng iba jan, puro gala during school days. Parang hindi pagod sa training."

"Manong," Mozzy warned her eldest son. She knew that he was pertaining to Thirdy and she didn't want her sons to fight.

Kiefer shrugged. "Just stating my opinion."

Bea awkwardly ate her food. Everyone in the Ravena household was talking to her except Thirdy and Tricia who seem to have their own world.

"Ate Bea, can you help me with my project?" Dani asked her. They were already at the living room watching a movie. "It has something to do with arts and you know naman that I am not good at it."

"I can help you, Dans." Tricia volunteered.

Dani raised her brow. "It's Dani not Dans." then she rolled her eyes. "I appreciate your offer but it would be very nice if Ate Bea's the one who will help me."

"What a bitch!" Tricia glared at Dani.

Bea was surprised to hear that from Tricia. They were at the Ravenas and she couldn't believe how Tricia could blatantly call Dani a bitch knowing that Mozzy was just around the corner.

"Watch your words, Tricia." Bea warned Tricia, not minding Thirdy's gaze at her. She would never tolerate that kind of attitude.

"Wow, acting like you're part of this family ah." Tricia sarcastically said to Bea and that made her brow raised.
