Tease

"Walking?" I asked Kuya Lucian in disbelief. I'm not walking home!

I am not used to walking. I am lazy to walk.

"Yes, 'cause you're getting fat, princess," he said, teasing me.

I couldn't help but be surprised. I am not fat!

I scoffed at Kuya Lucian even though I blushed from a mixture of embarrassment. "I'm not fat!"

Kuya Lucian laughed. "If not, then let's just walk home. Come on," he said and extended his hand to me.

I shook my head and folded my arms on my chest. "I don't want to walk. I'll get tired easily..."

Jeez! My cheeks turned red when both Luciana and Kuya Lucian laughed at me. They know that I am really dramatic in many things. I quickly complained and was too picky. I frowned at Iana, who hugged me around my waist.

"I'm sorry. You're just so cute." she tried to coax me. I rolled my eyes at her. She giggled and hugged me tighter before releasing me.

We are friends, and they say I am the pickiest. I am not picky. Just being careful. But who am I kidding?

I know I am particular in many things. They keep on saying that I am straightforward. I say what I want to say. I do what I want to do. I always defy what I think is right.

They keep on saying that I am bossy sometimes, a spoiled brat. I am just stating what I think is beneficial to all. I am just being careful. That is why I am picky. But I am just glad that my friends are so patient with me.

Kuya Lucian laughed. "Come on. There are no mosquitoes outside. I'll take care of you." he said, teasingly and with assurance.

I suppress my smile. I know that Kuya Lucian will never let me get hurt. Kuya Lucian and his cousins ​​are the best Kuya in the world because they are all sweet, caring, and protective. Also, they are very supportive. You will feel that they cherish you.

Kuya Lucian faced his little sister. "Alright, baby, I promise to take care of your sister," Kuya said amusingly. Kuya Lucian knows that Iana and I treat each other like sisters. That's why when I visit Luciana, they say, 'Your sister is already there.' Luciana and I have gotten used to it, so we just laugh or crack jokes.

Luciana and I are so protective of each other. Even with Carla, Luisa, and Denise. We don't want any of our friends to be hurt. We support and love each other like real sisters.

"I'll be taking your sister home," Kuya Lucian added, deciding for me.

"I am not yet agreeing!" I complain.

Kuya Lucian just winked at me before turning to her sister to give her a kiss. Kuya Lucian kissed his sister on the forehead before he placed his arm on my shoulder.

"Let's go," he told me, moving his eyebrows up and down. I rolled my eyes at Kuya Lucian, but he just laughed at me and messed my hair. I pouted my lips at what he did.

Luciana laughed at us. She hugged me. "Be careful," said Luciana. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek.

"See you tomorrow! Good night," I said goodbye.

She nodded."Good night. Call me when you get home."

I nodded at her before turning my back on her. Kuya Lucian and I started walking when I said goodbye to Luciana. Kuya Lucian pulled me closer to him to lead me the way out of their house.

"Let's just ride, brother Lucian," I said, trying my luck again. We weren't even at their gate when I got tired right away. Their driveway is vast, and it will take you long minutes before you reach their gate.

Kuya Lucian laughed. "We haven't been walking for too long, and you're already complaining," he said, laughing.

I snorted. I got tired quickly because I'm not used to it! "It's too far!" I said to Kuya Lucian. He laughed and put his arm around me.

"I'll entertain you while we are walking..." he said and gently pinched my cheek.

I snorted again. But along the way, I forget how tiring walking is since I am conversing with Kuya Lucian. While walking, Kuya Lucian didn't run out of things to talk about.

"Did you finish what you were doing earlier?" Kuya Lucian asked after we finished talking about random things.

I nodded and smiled. "Yes. We are prepared to report tomorrow." I smiled. He smiled back.

He asked me about school and such. I told Kuya Lucian that we were getting busier since exams were coming. He also asked me if Luciana and I have suitors.

My cheeks flushed."None!" I said. Okay, I lied.

Since we were in grade 7, Luciana and I didn't know why some people flirted with us immediately. Some of our guy classmates and other year levels keep hitting on us. Luciana and I didn't pay attention because we were too young. We are just fifteen!

Having a boyfriend is still not part of my plan. I am not yet ready to start a romantic relationship.

Kuya Lucian laughed. "Defensive..." he said playfully and pinched my cheeks again. I groaned.

"It hurts, Kuya Lucian!"I moaned because he seemed not to stop pinching me. He laughed and caressed both my cheeks with his fingers.

"Sorry. You're just so adorable. Your cheeks are so fluffy." Kuya Lucian says. I shook my head at Kuya Lucian. He loves teasing me. I know siblings are often teasing each other. I don't have a brother, so I'm glad I have the Griffins as my siblings.

"I'm not really fat!" I pouted at him, teasing me.

He laughed and defensively raised both hands. "I did not say anything," he said, amused. I looked at him and snorted.

I walked fast to be ahead of him. I heard his laughter. Sometimes it's annoying to have a sibling, especially when you get teased all the time! They are all so annoying!

"Quick-tempered..."Kuya Lucian said when he got close to me immediately. So unfair! Why did he only take a few steps to catch up with me? Kuya Lucian is so tall; I am only above his shoulder.
