Luciana's cousins got out of the water. "Oh, there you are!" Kuya Phoenix said when he saw us. Our cheeks reddened when we saw that he still had no top cover. You will know quickly that he works out because his muscles are in the proper places.
He smiled at us, which is why our friends giggled and were mesmerized. Since we've been friends, they still haven't gotten used to the good looks of the Griffins.
And even I, who grew up with them, am still affected by their good looks even though I'm used to it.
Luciana hugged her cousins. Luciana was blessed because she had beautiful and kind cousins. Actually, everyone in her family is all perfect looking!
"Hello, ladies." Kuya Phoenix greeted us and gave us all a hug. He even gave Lucian and me a sisterly kiss on our heads.
"Maybe we can have a hug too?" I heard the three of our friends say. Kuya Phoenix listened to that; that's why he reached to kiss them on the cheek. They almost fainted and passed out as if it were their first time. This is not the first time Kuya has greeted them like that. Kuya Phoenix has already known them since we were in Grade 8.
Kuya Phoenix laughed at our friends joking around. He's handsome. Actually, he is a playboy at the age of 17! He has had many flings, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend.
Their other cousin, Kuya Caiden, got out to the pool with wet looks that made him more handsome. He was followed by Kuya Samuel, who was smiling at us, making him even more attractive.
Kuya Caiden is a mysterious type of man. He often has a serious face but sometimes acts playful. But overall, he's friendly and kind. While Kuya Samuel is the sweet, pleasant, and gentlemanly guy. He is very friendly and always smiling. Both of them are promising that many individuals like them. Actually, all of them.
When Luciana and I were in grade 7, they were in grades 9 and 10; that's why many people in our batch knew them. Also, Kuya Lucian, even though our batchmates didn't meet him personally, they still know him because he often picks us up when he doesn't have school work. Kuya Lucian is now in his second year of college.
Luciana and Kuya Lucian look alike. If Luciana is conservative, Kuya Lucian is the playboy. Like Kuya Phoenix, he is also very mischievous and likes every woman.
"How's school?" Kuya Caiden asked us courteously. We smiled at them. "It's fine. We have a report that we need to prepare." Luciana answered. Kuya Caiden nodded.
"If you need anything, don't be shy to ask." Kuya Samuel said. We nodded and thanked him.
"Is Kuya Lucian there?" asked Luciana.
And speaking of Kuya Lucian, Kuya Lucian came out of the house. If the three of them were already thrilled, it increased when Kuya Lucian greeted us with his heartfelt smile.
"Kuya Lucian!" Luciana hugged her older brother. Kuya Lucian laughed, lifted his younger sister slightly, and kissed her on the forehead when he put her down. Kuya Lucian is really sweet.
Luciana is very spoiled by her brother. Luciana is Kuya Lucian's baby.
Lucian and the rest of Luciana's older cousins are very protective of her. Since I am Luciana's best friend, they were protective of me too. Lucian is treating me as his own sister too. All of their cousins are also treating me as family.
Kuya Phoenix said goodbye to us first. They said we could join them if we wanted to go swimming. We turned them down respectfully and thanked them since we had to work on our reporting. We said next time.
"How are you?" I heard Kuya Lucian ask Luciana when their cousins were back to swim again.
Luciana kissed Kuya Lucian's cheek. "I'm good. Where are you going, Kuya? Do you have a date again?"
Luciana snorted when Kuya Lucian just laughed at her questions. I smiled too. Kuya Lucian is very handsome when he's smiling.
I heard our friends gasp. That's how Kuya Lucian affects women. Women are swooned by the Griffins.
I laughed and teased my friends. "You're acting as if you never saw Kuya Lucian's smile so charming," I said. My friends rolled their eyes at me.
Kuya Lucian looked at us. He greeted our friends, whom they all knew because the five of us were often together. Kuya Lucian turned to me and kissed me on the forehead.
"How is your school?" he asked us. He put his arms around Luciana and mine as we faced our friends, who were red and obviously excited. Luciana and I shook our heads when we looked at each other.
"It's fine, Kuya Lucian. We'll make a report." Luisa smiled. Even though they admire the Griffins, we know they are not like the other girls who want to be noticed and liked by them. They say they respect the Griffins and have a crush on them, but they don't dream of being in a relationship with them. So Luciana and I are happy because we know they want to be our friends.
"If you need help... Phoenix is there." said Kuya Lucian.
We both wailed in protest.
"Jeez! You're in a hurry again to meet your woman." Kuya Phoenix tease, Kuya Lucian. Kuya Lucian laughed at his cousin before turning to us again. He kissed us one by one on the forehead before saying goodbye.
"I know you can do it." he cheered us. "As much as I want to help you guys, I have errands to do, so I need to go."
"Don't come home late, Kuya." Luciana reminds his brother.
"He will not come home late, Iana, because he will come home early in the morning instead. He will probably spend his night with his darling." Kuya Phoenix teased Kuya Lucian again.
"Oh, shut up, Phoenix! We have minors here." Kuya Lucian said, laughing.
Luciana and I just shook our heads. We are already used to it.
