Trust

I narrow my eyes at him, "there's nothing going on Miguel, but we do have a question to ask you," he sits next to me curiously, "oh? And what's that?"

That's when Maria hugged around Miguel's neck, "can me and Rose share this room please" she pleaded.

Miguel looked at both of us jokingly, "you two? Roomates? Why would you want that? Are you two already lovers or something?!" he said before bursting out laughing.

I rolled my eyes "no you idiot! She's just tired of sleeping in the infirmary, so she suggested we share this room and i agreed because i don't like being alone in this house full of men, so can we? Please?"

Miguel looked at us both and closed his eyes for a bit before opening them again, "and how do i know i can trust you two?"

i looked at maria and she just shrugged at me, "well you don't but isn't that what trust is all about? Look we won't try anything, i already told you that i would be her and stay here as long as my brother is safe. And from what I see you keep your word, and i don't know if you know this but i always keep my word as well as long as the opposite person does too. So come on please?"

he looks at me and then sighs and nods.

"Alright i'm trusting you enough because soon enough you'll be in this gang and this is the first step into knowing that i can trust you. I also don't want either one of you getting hurt by one of these perverts, so you two can protect each other."
