Chapter 12

Jero took the girl inside her house when they got home in that evening.

'Good evening uncle, aunt!, he greeted the couple they caught in the living room flirting watching a show on the big tv there, .. even though their parents are the same age, it's still the same with each other no one has changed in love, .. I hope Loraine and I are the same even though they are old and their hair is white, they still love each other, .. in his mind as he approached Loraine's parents to kiss her cheek!. .

'Please be patient if I delivered Loraine late night, we visited the resort and we enjoyed our story...

'Hey! this is really young yes! .. no problem son, your uncle Nick and I are confident when you are with our Angel...

Loraine's father just nodded and agreed with what his wife said .. And he laughed out loud when his uncle Nick pulled him away because he covered what he was watching.

'Daddy! .. how many times have you and mommy watched that show and you still don't get tired, Loraine laughed when she saw her boyfriend being taken away in front of her father...

'Eat in the kitchen sweetie, feed Jero before he goes home,,. I don't want to be blamed by Robert when his son gets an ulcer because of my daughter.. he said not to look at her..

They looked at each other and didn't comment anymore, laughing holding hands, they went straight to the kitchen to have dinner before sending the young man home according to her daddy ..

'Why Love? .. does little cute Jero have an ulcer? .. asked his wife Lyn after the children left and went to the kitchen to eat dinner ..

'Yes hon! .. don't you remember that? .. have your memories diminished? .. aren't we the ones who started that boy in the hospital when he was writhing in severe stomach pain? .. and that's because he always passes by hungry because he was always in the corner stunned when we just left our Angel in Mindoro? ..

'Oh yeah right? .. I haven't forgotten that love! .. it's just a case of a long time ago, didn't that boy's energy return when he thought about it? .. and he already understood why we took Angel away ?. .

'That's why, maybe it will happen again now! .. forget to eat at the right time because of our girl's tail, ..

'It's just like you! .. temptation of a woman husband.

The husband took the latter on his shoulders .. He laughed because he had always said what his wife said ... He was like that when he and his wife Lyn were young, he shouldn't be hungry all the time as long as he always had a tail on the bride when he was young they, even when they were married he was still here, ..

'It's as if you said that I'm Jero's father then if I can be like that boy .. he protested to his wife.

'Agoi!.. Are, You and Robert are friends, aren't you? .. Where else did Robert get that habit too early, ..

'As for you, we men are really like that when it comes to love, ..

'Love, let's go to sleep and just be sleepy, come on ..

Jero and Loraine had just finished dinner when her mother peeked into their dining room ..

'Angel and Jero guys, your daddy and I will go up first and work is still early tomorrow, ..

'All right mom, good night I love you! ..

'Good night auntie mommy! also Jero said...

Loraine's mother flew a kiss at them before turning around ..

'Auntie mommy sweetheart's still sweet yeah??,, the young man commented as they walked out of the house because she was going home, ..

'Of course, I haven't even heard daddy and them fighting since I thought about it! .. Loraine said arrogantly, ..

'I once experienced a fight between mom and dad when daddy didn't want to allow mommy to come back to Cotabato just because of Jake who threatened to commit suicide because of mommy ..

'Oh really?..

'Yes, I even called Uncle Edwin before so that someone could beg them ..

'Then what happened? .. she asked excitedly because she hadn't witnessed a lot before, he could just tell a story here she thought ..

'According to him, our aunts and uncles came and they took daddy to the resort because daddy was going crazy in our house then, because mommy didn't feel sorry for him because mommy was just crying then.

Because Loraine was amused and wanted her boyfriend to talk to her about the past, instead of taking it outside, she pulled it back to their living room. it didn't pull the girl anymore, ..

'Sweetheart! ,, .. let's talk next time, there are still many days! .. then we still have classes tomorrow and remember what the doctor said! ..

The girl's face frowned because she was hanging on to their story .. But it's disappeared immediately because the young man converted and hugged her, ..

''On Saturday I'll visit you here early so we can talk for a long time okay? ..

She nodded and the she looked up, .. 'Okay! .. prepare a story book.

The young man laughed and squeezed the girl's cheek, .. 'Okay ma'am .. he said then said goodbye to the his girl...

Loraine was about to enter her room when the light in her older brother's room was still on, .. she was already missing her older brother, she hadn't talked about him for a few days ,. so she thought of talking to him for a while, it's only nine o'clock in the evening ...

She knocked three times, 'Brother, can I come in?.. She even put her ear to the closed door and listened if anyone would answer ..

'Why are you still awake?..

Loraine felt something different in the tone of her older brother's voice, .. She entered even though he didn't say it ..

'You! .. why are you still awake? .. she asked again as she entered and also fell straight on the carpet where her older brother who was facing his laptop fell...

'I just finished a report for our first exam, ..

'Isn't the exam still on Monday?... why the morning? .. it's only wednesday now? ..

Her older brother messed up her long hair. 'It's better to finish earlier than late, if I finish this, I'll have a few more days to finalize my report, right? ..

'Of course! .. my older brother is really smart, she even leaned on his shoulder ..

'Oh why are you here ?, are you going to ask for something? ..

'Ehm! I don't have a brother, I'm just missing you... she softened and even lowered her voice ..

'Agooi!... as I know, why you don't have time for me, because that's all is Jero! .. this answer still contributes! ..

'Hey! .. nooo?! .. that's why I'm here because I thought that since Robbie and I became! .. we rarely bond. And then you always told me to him too!...

'Is that so? .. all right, you don't want to that I give you freedom for the one you love? .. tomorrow you'll always be with me!

'You're so bad brother!... don't be like that! .. do you really love me for that? .. she protested, ..

He turned off his laptop and faced her and his two hands rubbed her face! .. 'You know little sis! .. your growing up already! .. it's only been a year and you're not a teen !, so you have the right to be have fun and be unwide! .. just don't neglect your studies! .. and always be careful! Mom and dad love you so much and the twins also there... And about Jero! we all trust him that he won't let you down! .. we almost lost our rights then we don't want to do that again! ..

'Ooohh! ... you're so touching brother, you're so sweet to me! .. her eyes still watered even though she was smiling, .. she hugged her brother and leaned on his chest for a few minutes.

'How was your conversation with Jero? .. he asked, and rubbing her back, .. Her older brother was like that, she even remembered last night that they would leave him in the Mindoro, his older brother didn't want to leave her there, he put her to sleep in the bedroom and begged their parents not to leave her because no one would look at her there .. He was still crying when they left back here in Davao.

'It's okay brother, I don't feel any pain or anger, I understand everything why mom and dad took me away ..

'It's good, and you better avoid that Brent little sis!

Loraine just nodded! .. 'How are you and sister Nichole? .. her older brother suddenly looked sad! ..

'He will return to the state tomorrow! ..

'Why do you look like that brother? .. it's as if the world has made you sad! ..

'I will miss her again! ..

'Ooooowh..!!! my brother is inlove too! .. she is tempted him! ..

'Get that out! .. it's away from her....

'Are you inlove too aren't you brother...

'Sleep there and I'll leave you tomorrow when it's time for you to wake up!...

'You're so strict bro!.. You'd be like that when you are inlove?...

'You don't want to stop?...

'I don't want to! .. she laughed and refused .. first admit that you are inlove with sister Nichole!...

'All right! I will beat your boyfriend tomorrow and tell mom and dad to take you back to Mindoro so that we are both far away from our loved ones! ..

'Agoooii.... my brother!! I'll just beat you up and sympathize! .. I'll stop right now .. Good night brother! .. love you! ... she hugged him again.

Her older brother pushed her out of his room! .. 'Goodnight! .. love you too! ..

Loraine is still energetic even at night! .. she doesn't seem to have lost her energy that day ,. she wasn't even drowsy she had to go to sleep because she need to woke up early tomorrow, .. After she cleaned her body and changed her pajamas she lay down on her bed and took Lobbie's, the big teddy bear that Jero gave her on her 7th birthday she didn't take it with him to Mindoro because she was already there when the young man gave it to her, and she didn't even send it to her even if she could, but she told her mommy that it was and make a tattoo in her room, the only things sent to her there are those small things like birthday cards that also come from her friends .. but more often from Jero the gifts he used to receive on her birthday , he puts almost everything that can be hung with a keychain, she just hides the others in her cabinet ... They are simple but meaningful for her !. especially the ones written on the pendants that are almost heart -shaped, the others are balls .. there is written "I Always Love You" "I Missed You" "I'm Waiting For You" and many more written on each pendant .. Lobbie is the one she named here in the teddy bear combination with Loraine and Robbie, she hugged it and talked,

'Do you know Lobbie? .. your daddy told me earlier what really happened so I missed him before, Do you know the feeling that even though your name is not Princess but you feel like you are their princess? .. I hope Lobbie Your daddy's love for me will never change !, Are they like mommy and daddy? .. as well as their aunts and uncles? .. She closed her eyes when she felt the pull of drowsiness in her eyes...
