Griffins (Part Two)

Luciana and I couldn't stop rolling our eyes at her brother. I am with their youngest girl cousins. Sky, Callie, Momo, and Makayla. These girls are still in junior high. Luciana's other male cousins ​​are with us as well. Some are junior high, and some are senior high.

Celeste is also here, next to her brother Caiden. Caiden is also one of the famous males at school, and the girl fantasizes about him. Sad for them since Caiden is now dating someone, a nursing student. Happy, Caiden's soon-to-be girlfriend wants to become a doctor like Samuel will also become a doctor.

Even though Caiden is with someone now, the girls should be giving up on him. No. They believe that since the girl has not yet given the answer to Caiden, they still have hope. I almost rolled my eyes at the thought. But I cannot blame them tho. Caiden is your type; even though he looks so heartless, it's the principles and gentlemanliness he has that they like him.

On the other hand, Samuel is the type of guy who always smiles, making you fall in love even more. He is so kind, gentlemanly, and sweet. Kuya Samuel is very friendly, but he has no girlfriend yet.

They also have another cousin. Kuya Fausto is not here because he is preparing for his class as a high school teacher. Yes. Kuya Fausto is already teaching. He is now a High School teacher in one of the public schools because he passed the LET and has been teaching in public for several years. Next year, Kuya Fausto will be able to teach in college since he has a master's degree. In fact, he doesn't need a master's degree to be hired because Kuya Fausto is so talented. I found out that when Kuya Fausto was still in college, all he did was study. He is very studious, and many people admire him because of that. But unfortunately, Kuya Fausto seems to have no plan to enter a romantic relationship. Now that Kuya Fausto is 22, he still doesn't have a girlfriend.

Lucian is not like them. He jumps from one woman to another. He changes women as if he changes his clothes. I cannot help but feel bitter with the thought.

Lucian is so popular with women that you can't even count how many he had in his life. Tsk! Every time I actually think about that, I get annoyed and jealous. I need to become an adult because he may also notice me as a woman!

I stayed at the Griffins' house and bonded with them. There's really no push for them when it comes to their appearances. Blessed with the beauty of their genes.

Kuya Lucian often helped me with my assignments and projects in the past weeks. I go to him when there's a subject I'm having trouble with or something I don't understand. He's willing to help me because he offered help. And I'm really grateful for that.

As for Luciana, she took up business administration. Because that's what his parents wanted her to take. She actually loves medicine, but she prefers to obey her parents so she can help with their family business. Usually, Luciana and I approach Kuya Lucian when it comes to school stuff or Kuya Phoenix and Caiden because they are graduating students already.

And every week when we don't have school, Lucian and I go jogging, and I have breakfast with them. I'm happy we both do that because Lucian and I bond. We couldn't take Iana with us because she doesn't like jogging or running.

Since that night, when Lucian walked me home, I started to love to jog in the morning and visit the gym. At least, in that way, I was able to be with Lucian. We attend the same gym, so he often picks me up and drives me home.

I am so glad I forced myself to do physical activities.

"Don't forget that we have our gym schedule tomorrow, Luci," Lucian reminded me when his car stopped in front of our house. He drives me home tonight since we have classes tomorrow, so I cannot sleep in their house.

Lucian and I call each other Luci because they can no longer force me to call them Kuya. At first, Luciana was also surprised and asked why I just communicated that way. I reasoned out that I prefer not to call them Kuya. Luciana got used to it, so she just let me call her brother and cousins the way I wanted. It was just my excuse so they wouldn't notice when I did it to Lucian. I plan to call only Lucian by his name and continue to call the others Kuya. Still, I don't want us to have an issue if they start noticing how differently I act when I am with Lucian. It might cause trouble. This is not yet the time for them to know how I feel about Lucian. I'm not yet ready, especially since I am just 17, and Lucian doesn't want a minor to be his girlfriend.

Lucian usually picks me up when he has time because we both go to school simultaneously. Luciana has a different schedule than mine. We entered on the same day, but at a different time schedule, so Luciana went home before me.

Whenever there is a vacancy, we meet and hang out. Carla is my classmate because she also takes the same course as me. While Denise and Luisa are also taking up business administration, I'm at ease that Iana is with them. Luciana is so kind and innocent that I always want to protect her.

Every Tuesday, my class ends early. I finished at three in the afternoon, so I went straight to the gym to watch Lucian's basketball practice. Yes. He's a varsity player, so more and more girls like him.

I can't help but feel annoyed every time I see women close to Kuya Lucian. I'm upset because I'm jealous. I only think this way to Lucian that I can't do to his other cousins, ​​even if they are all charming too.

Women are crazy about them. Most of my classmates fantasized about them. I get annoyed whenever I see Lucian with another girl or someone approaches to pay attention to him. I want to pull their hair and shout to their face that Lucian is mine.

But instead of doing that, I just ended up crying silently. And not once did I cry because I was hurt every time I saw Lucian having a fling. Lucian is so good at handling women that it hurts me whenever I see a woman he flirts with. That can't be avoided because Lucian is known for being a playboy. Even phoenix is ​​a damn playboy, but I don't care how many women he has. I just happen to like Lucian.

That's why I'm happy whenever Lucian makes me feel special, even though I know I'm just his brother. And friend to him.

How painful reality hits.
