CHAPTER TEN

Chapter Ten:

Marco was chuckling as we sat down on my bed. He took off his shoes and lay down as I sat up straight; I still can't stop thinking about him, and how he looked at Auden.

"You actually believe those two would end up together? I don't think so."
"What? Uh, what are you saying?"
"That William and my sister... that will never happen. I won't let it. After all, he is a relative. It's not a good thing to date your relative, right?"

That??? Why on earth would he call William with a "that?"
He's a person. He is not some kind of a thing... and what does this man know about dating a relative anyway?

"I know you might be thinking about why I dated Rose in the first place even though we both knew that we were cousins... I was like, twelve when that happened. I never thought of having relationships seriously."
"No, I'm sorry. You better rest. I know today has been so tiring for you."

I waited for him to get up and leave my room. But he closed his eyes and it felt like he decided he might be sleeping here with me tonight... but I ended up sitting there next to him; watched him sleep. I stood up and opened the window. I stared up the sky.

"Please don't be in love with someone else... please don't have somebody waiting on you..."

The next morning, I woke up in bed. Marco was sitting on the chair near the window; waiting for me to wake up.
"Good morning, bae."

My brows twitched in wonder... why on earth am I here?

"You slept in the chair last night. I carried you to bed as soon as I woke up. I couldn't sleep right after and I ended up watching you."
"What? Why? Wh-"

Marco laughed and sat in my bed as he brushed his fingers through my hair.

"My sister has gone far insane. I can't help it. She invited William on a trip to Bohol. I don't wanna let her go alone with him."
"What's your plan then?" I asked; suddenly interested on his thoughts for the first time.
"We're going with them. I need you to get William some space from Auden and I'll cover her up."

I looked at him in wonder. A trip to Bohol with William. What a great idea.

"Are you with me, bae?" Marco suddenly woke me up from daydreaming.
"Yes. I am with you. Name the date and I'll be ready."
"Okay. Summer Trip to Bohol Auden-William Operation, here we go."

We both laughed at the thought. Marco is not really that bad.
