CHAPTER 30: It's My Heart

"Sissy, try this one. I made a chocolate cake."

Nancy offered me a slice of cake.

"Wow! You can bake?" I asked her smiling.

She was about to answer, but her brother answered for her.

"Yes, she can bake. At least she knows how to bake because she can't even cook a fried egg."

"Argh! I hate you, Gabriel! Get out of here!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.  "If you can't comment something nice, get your ass out of here!"

"Ohh, but what I said was true. You can't even boil water in the kettle." and he laughed in his carefree laughter which made Nancy stop in her tracks.

Maybe seeing his brother back in his carefree mood, still a surprise for her. She looked at me and then she smiled.

"I've changed my mind. You can stay here brother. You can even eat my cake if you want."

I bit my lip when Gabriel looked at her and wrinkled his eyebrows.

"No, thanks Nancy, but I won't fall with your tricks."

"B-But..."

"Let's go, Madi." he took my hand again.
