Its my first time to sleep here

Geli's Pov

We are now in the dining area and eating dinner. On my left side was Althea whose keep on asking me of what happened. While Red sat opposite to me.

“You two... Did something happened to you?” Althea asked the two of us as she pointed at us.

We just continue eating and avoid her question.

“Hhmm.... Did you kissed?” I cough by what she said. I can't help it.

Red immediately gave me a glass of water and drink it. I saw Red stood up and approached me. He tap my back as I drink water.

“Aaawwww!!!! How sweet! I'm jelous!!! I want to call my love!” Althea said, blushing.

“Althea...” Red look at Althea.

I put the glass on the table. Finally, I stop coughing.

“I'm fine.” I said as I raised my head to see Red.

Red nod and go back to his seat. Althea close her head to me and whisper to my ear.

“I was right... You two kissed~” She teased me.

I just rolled my eyes on her and then continue eating.

“Maybe his sickness was called ‘The sickness of love’ and you are his medicine!” Althea whispered on my ear again.

“Althea, that's enough!” Red scold her.

“Ehem.... Ok!” Althea propered her seat and eat again.

We all continue to eat and no one ever dare to speak again.

......

We sat on the sofa and watched a comedy show after we a eat dinner. I'm on the right side and Althea was on the left side, Red was on the middle. The three of us still don't talk.

“My dear brother~” Or I was wrong. Althea spoke. At last.

Althea held her older brother's arm and shake it. She's acting like a childish again.

“What?” Red lazily ask her without looking at her, he's just busy watching the show.

The show we are watching is a comedy show but why does I feel like we are watching a horror movie?

“Do you want me to wash the dishes? Or clean the house or wipe the windows or sweep the floor or clean you roo—”

“Althea....what do you need?” Red cut her words and finally look at her.

I took a peak on Althea. She was blinking for so many times while smiling wide, probably trying to make her cutest expression.

“Can I call Vincent~” I laugh when Althea said that.

Red look at me so I stop laughing.

“Tonight?” Red asked as he look back to Althea.

“Yes!!! I'm so bitter tonight!” Althea started to tune into a child again.

“Didn't I tell you make a distance between the two of you since were on the beach last time?” Red scold him but still in a lazy tune of his voice. Is he sick again?

“I can't do that! Geliiii!!” Althea stood up and approach me. He hug me on my neck.

“Geli... He's making a wall between us!!!” Althea even pointed at his brother while telling that at me.

“Althea...” Red shot a gaze on Althea.

“Just give her what she want” I told Red in a bored tune.

Red look at me for three seconds and then cut off it.

“Fine..” Red said while taking a deep breath.

“Yeeeyyyy!!!! Thank you, Geli. Thank you, my dear brother!” Althea was very happy that she jumped up and down.

Althea reach her phone near from the TV and dial a number.

“You can come in now. I will open the gate, wait for me there...” I heard she said.

Althea blushed before rushed to open the door and ran outside.

“Vincent is already outside and waiting for my permission.” I look at Red whose now cross his arms and his legs, he's eyes was still focus on the show.

“How do you know?” I asked him.

“They're always doing that.” He answer.

“You mean... You didn't even give him one permission. Did you agree on them only for tonight?” I asked as I crossed my arms and face him seriously.

“Uhmm.. Yes.” He answered.

“Tsk. You must support your sister on her every decision to make or else she will have a resentment on you. I couldn't imagine Althea had a resentment to anyone. Just make some little rules for her safety and to make sure that the decision she'll make was still on the right path.” I told him. I lowered my voice on my final said and then bowed my head.

I just remember my sister Stephanie back then. If only I had explained to her what happened that night. If only I slap that man in his face while she's infront of us. If only I was brave enough to apologize to her and that guy was just a flirty man after all. If only I did my best to be the best sister for her. But past can not be change. That was my biggest mistake in my life, that I didn't clear all the incidents to her everytime that that scene was happening.

“You probably missing your sister, right?” I lift up my head to see Red. He was now looking at me without any expression.

“I... I—Of course, I missed her..so much.” I said.

“If you really missed her then prove it in your action not just in words. Actions can be more sincere than words that you can't even tell.” He told me then he look back to the TV and watch the show again.

I look at his face on side view, I stare on him for a few seconds when suddenly Althea and Vincent came.

“Good evening, brother! And—Geli? You were here too?” Vincent widened his eyes when he saw me. I just smile at him and wave my hand.

“Well...uhmm... Good evening to you too, Geli!” He said. I just nod and smile.

Red didn't even look at them, he's really busy watching the show. Unbelievable! Come to think of it, Red is watching a comedy show with his face was so serious. He didn't even smile or laugh on the show. Well if he's really watching a comedy show then I am watching a horror show here while I'm looking at his face. Creepy. I think I'm cringing.

.....

I'm on the guest room now. I'm lying on the bed and I covered my whole body with my face a blanket. I'm not used to sleep in here. If in the milktea shop I could probably sleep there comfortably.

Red told Althea that Vincent are not allowed to stay because I'm sleeping here. So there are no other rooms available. Althea don't want to but good thing that Vincent is a very understandable man. He explained to Althea that her brother was right and he needs to go home too or else his father will kill him when they found out that Vincent is not home so Althea let him go home.

I really can't sleep! I remove the blanket from my face and stare at the ceiling. This room is so dark. I was shock when the window open itself. The wind is too strong maybe that's the reason why the window opened? I look outside from the window, a minutes later I saw some water droplets from the outside. It began on a little rain and then became a heavy rain. The sound of the rain made me even think not to sleep. I stood up from the the bed and was about to reach the window and close it. I jump on shock when thunder begin to crump. I walk closer to the window and tried to reach it. A light ing flash on the sky and I saw a dark shadow standing outside near the window. I scream in scare. I hooe I didn't awake the siblings. I started to run outside the room and I sigh as a relief when I finally closed the door.

“Please I didn't awake them....”

I don't know what to do and I don't want to get back in this room. I will just walk through the sofa and try to sleep there. I was about to knock on Althea's room but I regret it. I don't want to ruin her beauty sleep. I just passed her room and continue tip-toeing. I stop on Red's room and look at it. No! I turn around and continue walking slowly.

I was stunned when I heard a creaking noise from the door behind me. The door is opening itself again? I slowly turn my head to look at it. My eyes widened whem I saw....

“Red?” I whispered.

“I heard your scream.” He said.

“What? I—I didn't scream.” I said as I look on my left side.

“You can sleep here in my room.” He said that made me shock.

“Are you serious?” I asked.

“Come in now.” He said as he gesture he's hand.

When I finally get in, he pointed his bed. I made a questioning look on him.

“You sleep here.” He said.

Did he think that I will sleep beside him?

He grab my shoulders and drag into his bed.

“There.” Said Red after he put the blanket all over my half of body.

He then turn around and walk away.

“Where are you going? I could sleep in the couch.” I said as a thunder crump. He stop walking and reach the door knob.

“I'l sleep there. You stay here and sleep properly.” He told me before he step outside the room and close the door.

When the first time we encountered each other on the school where I fell on the ground. He didn't even care to help me but now he's so gentleman. I just pull the blanket all over my neck and side my body, I close my eyes and try to get some sleep.

........

“Good morning!” Althea greeted us as she sat down beside me.

Were on the dining table now and eating breakfast. I felt a bit sleepy because I slept late last night. I yawned three times as of now, I covered my mouth as I yawned.

“Did you have a good sleep last night?” I bowed my head when Althea asked that.

“Cause I had a very beautiful dream~” Althea was blushing as she ate her breakfast.

I just scratch my eyes and eat my food.

“I'll send you home after you eat breakfast. Sleep more on your house.” Said Red. I just nod.

......

When we finished eating breakfast Red escorted me on the car while Althea left on their house. I was sitting here in the front seat. I lean my head on the window and close my eyes while on the trip.

“Were here.” Red told me as I felt the car stop.

I just nod but I didn't open my eyes. I want to sleep more!

“I said were here.” Red said once again. I heard his voice so loud but he didn't even shout.

When I open my eyes gently I saw his face near me. We stare on each other as I blink my eyes slowly. Its like were in a slow motion movement and I can hear my heart beats so loud.

“Get some sleep in your room.” He speak.

I was back on the reality when he spoke. I proper my seat and he went back to his seat. I immediately took off my seatbelt and get down from the car.

“Thatnk you!” I said as I wave my hand on him.

I walk fast through the house. Our guard opened the gate and greeted me and said that my father was looking for me last night, I just nod at him and smile. I heard Red's car arrive so I quickly enter inside our house. I slowly open the door so it won't make a noise.

“Where were you last night?” I was shock when I heard my father's voice.

I turn to him and face him.

“I sleep on my friend.” I explained.

“Friend, huh? Since when did you learn to make friend?” He asked coldly.

“This is my life and I am no longer a child. So please, don't cross over my life.” I said as I run upstair. I even met Stephanie on the stair but I just ignore her and continue running. I quickly enter to my room and lock the door.

There. I lay on my bed and close my eyes.
