16. Love Triangle

"What? Your going on a honeymoon without me?!" Aaron asked as Zade chuckle. "Of course its time for us to be alone." Zade said as Aaron sigh.

"You know it's not safe right? To go alone." Aaron said as Zade gave him a gift.

"That would keep you busy for a week right?" Zade asked as Wendy smiled knowing how excited Aaron is with his mission in Italy.

'He's finally sending me for war...' Aaron thought and immediately pack his bags.

Zade and Wendy on the other hand will be staying at the Reyes resthouse so it would still be a safe place for them while Aaron was gone for awhile.

The mansion will be left by Jayden, Mary and Steel.

Lately Jayden and Steel went into a hard training lead by Aaron of course and Yes Steel was the lucky guest that Zade brought as he requested to stay at Zade's home so he can be closer to Mary.

Jayden was not pleased by this and was so over protective by Mary.

Mary on the other hand enjoys the attention as she wave goodbye to Wendy and Zade.

"Will the both of you shut up already!" Mary shouted as both of them kneel down in front of her.

"I don't know what you two are up to but I have an exam to study so back off and try to be normal for once." Mary said as she went back to her room.

"You annoyed her." Jayden whispered and yet Steel heard it. "I think your the one who annoy's her, I've known her for awhile now and your just a stranger here I think your the one who should back off."

"I cannot risk losing Mary's mental health over a psycho like you, You already left her what more can you say to yourself that you went back loud and proud?" Jayden asked as Steel glared at him.

"You knew nothing...." Steel said as he sast down the couch and Jayden left to check on Mary.

Mary was busy on her textbook when Jayden knock and sat besides her.

"It seems like you really want to pass the exam." Jayden said as Mary sigh. "Of course I would love too but I don't have Wendy's brain." Mary sigh as she felt dumb.

"Me too and yet I'm dumber than you." Jayden said as Mary laughs. "I know, Why won't you study with me too? You cannot afford to fail any subjects right since your a varsity?" Mary asked as Jayden stopped.

'She really is Wendy's cousin. They both care on something that isn't theior problem at all. They miht say that they don't like it yet they still help when they know they can do something about it.' Jayden thought to himself and smiled that made Mary's heartbeat fast.

"What? Is there something wrong with my face?" Jayden asked as he leans closer to Mary as Mary covers her face.

"Kyaaaahhh! Your too close Jayden!" Mary shouted as Jayden laugh. "I see, So my handsome face is a bother to you." Jayden said as Mary knotted her eyebrows.

"I didn't say anything about that!" Mary said as Jayden smiled and get his textbook and start studying with Mary.

When lunch came Mary smelled a delicious sent coming from the kitchen and saw Steel making lunch.

"Ohhhh you know how to cook?" Mary asked mesmerized by what Steel made for lunch.

"I thought myself to cook so I can be usefull to you someday." Steel said as Mary smiled. "Ever since were kids you already make delicious bento boxes for Wendy and I to share while we play at our garden." Mary remembered her childhood as Steel leans to her.

"Yeah but right now I'm not cooking for a friend. I'm cooking for my future wife." Steel said as Mary blushed.

'He's too close to me!!!!' Mary shouted deep inside as Steel smiled and feed her the soup he made.

"Wow! It taste amazing!" Mary compliments it as Steel smiled at her.

"What are you two doing?" Jayden asked as he was up from a nap since he didn't study next to Mary at all.

"Wow Mary you made this? Your a great cook huh!" Jayden said as he taste the soup.

"Ahhh this taste good!" Jayden said as Mary laugh. "Pfft I didn't cook it..." Mary said while holding her laugh.

"Huh? Then the maids did?" Jayden asked as he looked at Steel who looked pissed right now.

"HUUUHHH?! DON'T TELL ME YOU COOKED THIS?!" Jayden asked as Mary laugh and nodded.

"Ohhhh this smells good." Aaron said as he taste it. "I thought you went to Italy?" Steel asked as aaron smiled.

"I will be but my flight is still in the evening that's why I'm still here." Aaron said as the maids prepared the table and the four of them had lunch together.

"I guess it felt lonely and awkward without Zade and Wendy's presence here." Jayden said as the two sits are vacant where the both of them is seated.

"Yeah we cannot disturb them since they were in their honeymoon." Mary said as Aaron smiled.

"I know right, They even get rid of me for them to have an alone time." Aaron said in agreement as the four of them laugh together.

'Even if Wendy isn't here the mansion doesn't feel sad at all since were eating together. Just like Wendy said it is more fun to live together rather than living alone.' Jayden thought and smiled as Mary saw it.

She saw how genuine Jayden smile is...

Her heart beats faster and she was confuse why she's attracted to Jayden.

"Are you okay Mary?" Steel asked as he handed the water to Mary as Mary smiled and Jayden saw how good their mood is going on.

"Say, Hands off on Mary." Jayden said as Steel smirked.

"Now, Now reserve the fight for later let's just enjoy our meal right now." Aaron said as he continued eating.

"Say Aaron uhmm do you know Mathematics?" Mary asked as Aaron looked at Mary. "Of course I do, basic plus and minus." Aaron answered.

"Noooo! We would like to ask your help for our assignment since Wendy is not around." Mary said as Aaron stared at Jayden and Mary.

"Why not ask Steel for it?" Aaron asked as Steel smiled. "I'm bad at math." Steel said as Aaron looked pissed.

"Zade didn't told me about teaching you dumbo's." Aaron said as he continued eating.

Mary smirked as an idea came up to her.

"Ahhh I see, You just can't do it since it's hard for you." Mary said as it hits directly on Aaron's pride.

"What did you say?" Aaron asked as Mary smirked. "Nah we don't need your help anymore I don't wnat to push you on something your not actually good at-"

*Clatters

"Show me." Aaron said as he looked at Mary.

"I graduated law school with high latin honors." Zade said as he smirked at Mary. "I'll make sure you get a hundred in your exam." Aaron said as Mary smiled.

"Then we will be happy with your help!" Mary said as aaron smirked.

In the Reyes resthouse were Zade and Wendy finally arrived Wendy looked around and smiled at her husband.

"Finally a alone time with you Babe!" Wendy said as he jump at Zade and hugged him tightly.

"It really feels good with just the two of us right?" Zade asked as Wendy nodded. "Yeah, I'm glad Aaron took the gift." Wendy said as Zade shrugged.

"I guess he won't be going to Italy at all." Zade said as he smirked and let Wendy see the picture that Aaron send where Jayden and Mary are working hard in studying and Steel was on the back preparing their snacks while Aaron smiled and he looked like he really had fun torturing those two.

"I see, So everything went well anyway." Wendy said as Zade smiled. " I know he won't be going to Italy without me." Zade said as he chuckle.

"I don't know what your cousin pulled but he made Aaron teach them since your not around." Zade said as Wendy smiled.

"As long as you step on Aaron's pride he will do anything to prove your wrong." Wendy said as Zade wrapped his hands around her.

"I love you Mrs. Reyes." Zade said as Wendy smiled. "I love you too Mr. Reyes. " she answered as they spent their first night together alone in the rest house without anyone disturbing them.

In the Reyes Mansion Mary and Jayden looked like a dead person as they were so tired on Aaron's lecture.

Steel comes in and saw the both of them sleeping soundly as Steel took a blanket and wrapped it around Mary.

Jayden woke up and saw how Steel took good care of Mary.

He felt sad as he knew that these two could form something that he don't belong.

'I think I'm just a disturbance for the both of them'
