Halo

Joanna's POV

AS WE STROLLED AROUND, I felt like I was being watched or followed. Even when we purchased our ice cream, I could’ve sworn I saw a shadow swish past me.

“Elvis? Let’s go find Mom and Dad,” I blurted out, shuddering slightly.

“Why? he polled confused. “We haven’t even tasted our ice cream yet.

“Okay then,” I nodded and swallowed mH fright.

While I devoured the ice cream, I heard footsteps coming towards us and a slightly familiar voice.

“Hey bro,” the owner of the voice spoke.

I groaned internally and prayed it wasn’t who I presumed.

“Frank my man, how are you?” Elvis smirked, his eyes on someone behind me.

Oh no, please let it be another Frank. Please, God, please, I silently pleaded.

“I’m good, bro,” the voice replied as the owner of said voice stepped into view and did the weird handshake thing with Elvis.

“How do you guys know each other?” I interrogated my suspicions confirmed as I was facing the only Frank I knew.

“Oh hey, Ana. How are you?” He greeted in a question before he tugged me in for a hug that left my skin tingling and my mind in a state of shock at the same time.

“I’m fine,” I responded. “And how are you everywhere?”

He flashed me a heart!stopping smile and winked. “You know I’m your guardian angel.”

“Don’t be scared, Ana. I’m your guardian angel,” a familiar voice said innocently, with a smile.

Why do I keep getting all these flashbacks and memories? I thought to myself as I peered at him.

“Sis, are you coming?” Elvis called out, with a knowing smirk on his lips. I blushed, noticing two pairs of eyes that stared at me strangely hence I was caught ogling Frank.

“I’m coming,” I retorted in a high pitched tone, making me more embarrassed.

With my hair down, I trudged around the mall beside them before Frank suggested we stop at a play station. When the guys asked me to choose a game, I picked a car racing one.

“Thanks for choosing that, sis,” Elvis smirked and cracked his knuckles. “you both are going down.

Frank just shrugged in response while I smirked back at Elvis and positioned mHself in a strong stance with my ass slightly pushed out.

“Set?” Elvis voiced out while qrank :ust stood hHpnoti1ed and stared at my ass.

“HeyI waved a palm in his face as a small smile spread on my face. Score 1 for Joanna.

I turned to Elvis and bestowed him a questioning look, “Aren’t you angry that someone is gawking at your little sister’s ass?”

“Nah,” he declined. “If that someone is him, then I’m definitely okay with it, but any other person is dead meat.

“Francis,” I called again and snapped my fingers in his face this time. “Ooh What did I miss?” he clamored after rubbing his eyes as I shook my head and Elvis snickered.

“Let’s play,” I yelled going into game mode.

It was fun, and I won thre first round, kicking Frank out of the game, leaving me with Elvis in the final round.

“Go baby go!” Frank cheered. “Kick his ass real good.”

laughed while Elvis gave him the finger.

“The end. Woo hop!” I screamed and fist-bumped the air as Elvis grumbled obscenities under his breath.

“Uh huh, I won, uh huh, who rock the world, girls Who rock the world, girls,” I sang in a loud tone, slowly twirling my hips in a victory.”

dance before I turned to hug qrank, who chuckled and kissed mH forehead afterward.

What the I eclaimed internallH, mH mouth agape in awe of the unepected gesture and how mH bodH reacted to it, especiallH the skin which his lips touched.

Fe pulled awaH hastilH when Elvis cleared his throat, feeling slightlH shocked bH his actions while I Yushed, Yustered.

“Bro, let’s go hunt for hot girls,” Elvis said, flashing a grin with an excited look in his eyes.

“Nah, I’m good,y qrank answered, with a far away smile.

“Wit up, bro, any girl you dating?” Elvis quizzed and smirked in my direction.

”Heart pounding, I waiting for Frank’s reply even though I wasn’t sure why since it wasn’t any of my business if he was dating or not.

“Nope, never. I had a crush once but circumstances decided against it,” Frank reacted in a sad tone that made me release a breathe I didn’t know I was holding in relief. “But now I’ve found her, and I’ll be damned if I let her go.”

His words unknowingly crushed my soul, but the reason he gazed at me when he spoke was totally H beyond me.

Frank’s POV

I saw her standing with her parents and Elvis, but I didn’t want to feel like a stalker. I tried to get away, but I couldn’t stay away from her any longer, especially when I caught some guy staring at her ass as she walked around with Elvis.

The way she rolled her hips before starting the game had completely hypnotized me.

When she gyrated her hips after she won, I distinctly remember how that ass felt on my skin the night of the party as she ground on me plus how it felt to hold that tiny waist in my palms.

Damn it!

I wanted to kiss her so bad, but I knew it was impossible at the time. So, I settled for a peck on her forehead. It shocked me that she won though because I’ve never met a girl who could beat a guy at car racing.

Thank God it was Elvis because I would have gotten a sound beating from any other guy for kissing his little sister.

Knowing how much I loved her, I had to take things slow, but at the same time, I just hoped it wouldn’t be too late when she found out.
