Until We Collide Again (Moonlight Series #1)

"Sunduin ko nalang kayo mamaya ha?" Eustace said before we leave the car.

"Hmmm" I replied while nodding. "Drive safe" I said before I gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"Menor de edad here, sixteen lang po ako, minor" Cayeanne playfully said while smirking. Parang hindi ka pa nakiss ni Gian ah?

"Yeah kaya bawal ka magpa-kiss kay Gian okay? minor ka pa right?" I said while laughing. "let's get inside, baka naghihintay na si mom" I open the door and wait Cayeanne to come out.

We're having a family dinner with dad and I decided to have Cayeanne with us, but she was so nervous because she'll meet my dad. "Ate punta nalang kaya ako kayna Zairen?" Cayeanne suggested.

"You will sit beside me, just feel at home, imagine that dad is your kuya Eustace" I reminded her. I sneak a smile to Eustace before I held Cayeanne's wrist to guide her inside our house.

Hinintay ko pang maka alis ang sasakyan ni Eustace. "Ate sa condo nalang ako, mag-aaral nalang ako" she said while looking at me.

"Why? Why your so afraid to meet dad?" I asked her in a gentle tone before I smile a bit so she can say the truth.

"Because... dahil... ayokong nag aaway kayo ni tito dahil sakin. Ayokong nagkaksagutan kayo dahil pinagtatanggol mo 'ko" she said honestly. She lowered her head a bit but she's still looking at me. "Alam ko Ate na bukod kay kuya ako lagi ang pinag aawayan nyo... at hanggang maaari ayokong nag aaway kayo Ate" she added.

My heart melts because of that! I really really didn't expect that from her. I thought she was afraid because dad doesn't want her so she's avoiding to interact with him but this time I knew the real reason. She only wanted to stop me and dad arguing because of her.

"You deserve to fight for and I promise not to fight with my dad as long as I can" I said smiling at her. My heart just felt so happy now.

We went inside our house while I'm holding Cayeanne's wrist. She's shaking a bit but it's fine.

"Good evening dad, good evening mom" I greeted them the time when I enter our house.

"Good evening tita. G-good evening t-tito" Cayeanne greeted them too.

Mom hugged me and Cayeanne while dad only hugged me but he tapped Cayeanne's shoulder. Oh that's new.

"Kamusta ang future doctor namin?" Mom asked when tita Amelia serves our meal.

Cayeanne pursue her dream. We let her took medical field like what she wants. And I think that's the reason behind dad's good fellowship to her.

"Okay naman po tita" she said coldly. When tita Amelia went beside her to serve the juice Cayeanne move closet to tita Amelia. "Good evening tita Amelia" she whispered.

Cayeanne was sitting beside me while mom and Dad on our front. "Tita Amelia, join us" I invited her. I immediately look to dad and smile. "Dad, why don't you invite tita Amelia with us?"

"Nako little pumpkin este maam Rexzi, hindi pa po ako nagugutom" Tita Amelia refused my offer.

"Join us Amelia. I think Rexzi missed you" my eyes widened and my side lips rose up.

Tita Amelia just nodded and went to our kitchen to get some plate. Tita Amelia sat on the other side of the table.

We started eating our meal just normal. No fight. No exchanges of rebukes. Just in peace like a normal family. That I want.
