You're really jealous

Chapter 6

Yes" he sparingly replied.

Its attention is focused only on the food being cooked.

You won't eat with me?" I approached the high chair and sat down on it.

Do you want to go with me?" his eyes darted on me.

You're not going to keep up?"

His lips twisted, suppressing a smile. Alright, I’m leaving after we’ve eaten.” Good. I nodded and bit my lip very hard. Damn, embarrassing! It was as if I was forcing him to eat with me without telling me directly.

I have already helped her with the preparation of the cutlery. It would be embarrassing if I let him do everything. We are married, we should work together. I don't want him to think I'm useless. I don't know how to do housework anymore, I don't know how to help him yet. I think the thickness of my face is too much then.

What time are you going home later?" I will ask. It was as if we had something to talk about. I don't know" was its sparing answer.

I put adobo on his plate. I noticed as little as he took. He needs more of it.

Thank you"You're welcome"

By the way ..." he looked at me. "Your dad called earlier. He greets you and asks if it's okay for you to have them open your studio"

I nodded "I'll call him later"

You paint?"Yup. I majored in arts"

That's great. Isabel's canvas and other painting materials were on her room. If you want, I will get it for you"Don't. He might get angry"No. She doesn't pay attention to those anymore. She stopped painting months ago"Why?"

Bored already?" its ambiguous answer.

I'm not sure. Maybe there's another reason"Sure" We both kept quiet and just focused our full attention on the food."I'll do the washing" I said, after we Sister He looked at me questioningly. She was obviously not sure if she would agree to what I wanted or not.

We're both going to wash" he said after a few moments of thought.

Not anymore. You're still going somewhere, aren't you? Maybe Christina has been waiting for you for a while" I said emphasizing the last word.

It's okay. She can wait. She can always wait" he laughed softly. His laugh was the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my entire life. I was stunned and seemed to be just staring at him.

"Do it again" automatically wrinkled its forehead.Huh?"

"Your laugh, I want to hear it again" his eyes darkened. I immediately repented. I hope I didn't just say that.

I couldn't match the intensity of his gaze so I decided to just bow.

"How's that, I'd rather listen to your laughter" she whispered. I raised my head again, only to see his genuine smile.

Time of death, twelve in the afternoon. Cause of death, Nicholas Gaither Everson's smile.

"I'm heading now" its goodbye. We just finished washing."Be careful"

Will you include Christina? I wanted to ask but I was led by embarrassment.

"I won't be long. I promise" it was on the door jamb.

He's out but here I am, still hesitant about what to do. I fuckin wanted to know who the hell is that Christina he is talking about!

"Nic!" he stopped walking and faced me."What?"

I took a deep breath. "I wanted to meet Christina"He smiled again. "Sure"

I quickly ran closer to him.

"You didn't say right away that you wanted to meet Christina"

"Is that even necessary?" my forehead furrowed slightly. So he really has no intention of introducing this Christina to me like that? If I hadn’t exercised my curiosity, wouldn’t there have been an introduction between the two of us of his woman?I thought not anymore"

"That's what you think!" I said sternly and led him to walk to the beach. Annoying!

I was surprised to see no boat or woman. Where is that Christina?

"Hey" I didn't look at it "Are you mad?" I still ignored him. "You're mad" I was surprised as he wrapped his arm around my waist. "Is this about Christina?" I snorted and stared at him wickedly.

"I don't know about you!" bulyaw ko.

"I thought we didn't know? Why do I feel like my wife is jealous?" the sarcasm was obvious in his voice.

"I didn't say ignorant! And what's jealous? I'm not!" I really exploded. I was even more annoyed by this smile, instead of apologizing.

"Go away! It's embarrassing for Christina. Maybe it's been waiting for a while. Alas, you'll be beaten!" I slipped out of his arm and walked away.

"I told you, she can wait. And I can't be hurt no'n" wow! And he was so certain about it. E, they are no more! I thought his sister was the only woman, there was Christina.

Does my brother know this? He's a bastard!

He touched my wrist. "Let me introduce you to Christina" she said calmly.

"Don't touch me" I let go from his grip.

"Alright" he raised his two hands "Let's go?"He walked first, I followed.

We entered the forest. As I walked, I thought he might have built a hut in the middle of the forest for Christina. I also thought that maybe there was another mansion on the other side of the island and it was there now.

I think I'll go crazy with my thoughts.

We got out of the woods without even seeing a hut. Instead, huge rocks greeted us. We still had to climb them to finally get to the beach. I climbed a rock and looked around.

There's no mansion here also.

"Aidle" Nic calls me sharply I can no longer obey. "Here you go"

I did not follow him, instead I sought my own way.

I went down the rock again, climbed under the broken part of it, and fit myself into the small passage.

Now I realize the importance of slimming. I will really thank my gym instructor for this.

"What are you thinking?" Nic's angry thread."Nothing" I scolded him.

She let out a deep sigh. "You're even harder to understand than physics".

"Physics is easier to understand than you are"

"Kalandian" he said with emphasis. He closed his eyes and swallowed his senses. "Before you get jealous of todo, look at the sea first" its tough command.

I turned my body towards the peaceful sea. A yacht not far away I immediately noticed.That was Christina"

Wait, do I hear right? That yacht? Is it Christina?I frowned at him "Huh?"

"Christina isn't a human, but a yacht" his bloodshot eyes bore into me. "You got the wrong idea, wife"Damn!

This time, I just want the earth to eat it.

"Why didn't you tell me right away ?!"

"You didn't ask"

"Even so! Whether I ask or not, you should have deliberately said that that canned Christina isn't human" I almost cursed the silent yacht as I was annoyed.I was stunned when Nic suddenly laughed.

"What's funny?!" I pushed him violently, but he did not budge. Instead, he grabbed my hand and wrapped our fingers around it.

Letse, I'm angry okay? I can't be affected by his actions like this.

"I'm sorry okay? I'm just testing you. You're really jealous"

"No no! Who gave you that inaccurate information?"

"Your bestfriend" I wasn't told that Eya and I were close. Just when?

"Really? Well, my friend gave the wrong information!"

"Even your relationship with Stevan Marshall?" my eyes widened.

Damn, Eya and her mouth.

"Don't change the subject"

"It's true" his jaw hardened.

"Excuse me" a man in black v-neck shirt and jeans pants was walking languidly towards us.

His serious eyes darted on me and then, to Nic.

"Long time no see man"

"Yeah" the two clenched their fists. It's obvious, they'll meet.

"Have you been here before?" Nic rolled his eyes around. It looks like someone is looking for it.

"You said more" the man looked at me again. "Red Gilmour, Nic's friend" he held out his hand which I immediately reached for."Aidle Lucas"

"Everson, wife" Nic corrected my last name. The two of us looked at each other. His brows furrowed and lips were on grim line. "Whatever" I realized that our hands were still clasped. I violently withdrew my hand and stared at him.

I have never forgotten the trick he did to me. He made me believe that Christina is a human, so he could see my reaction. And I'm jealous ?! Ha, never! I'm just annoyed for my sister. The bad thing is maybe they think they have a relationship and then there is another relationship.

And I won't be jealous because I don't like him. Even though I hate my sister, I still respect her as a human. I respect her relationship with this man. If I really didn't need this man, I wouldn't allow this setup.

I focused my gaze on the man again and smiled sweetly at him, but my smile also disappeared immediately when Nic suddenly parted our holding hands. I still can't get my hand back from him.

"Easy man" the man raised his two hands and laughed.

I noticed something in his expression. He was smiling, yet I know it wasn't from the heart. I can sense he was carrying a big stone inside him. His soul was unhappy.

I scanned his face. Thick brows, his piercing emerald eyes were cloaked with lashes, narrow pointed nose, red lips, hard jaw. My eyes traveled down to his body. Broad shoulders, even with clothes on, I sense his muscles were on their right places.

No wonder, this man is made of art.

Nic covered my view with his body.

I frowned and moved to the other side. It also moved.

Damn, this man! He obviously didn't want me to stare at his friend. He can't blame me though. Is it handsome?

Nic is also handsome, so handsome! But there is something in Red that I can't dare to ignore. Maybe because I know he was sad, and I know he needed company. There is something that pushes me to acknowledge it and find out the reason for its sadness.

I want him to be close to me, not because I like him or because he has a beautiful body. I'm used to seeing well sculptured body already, because Van had those also. I just really want to get to know him.

"Hey brother!" another man came. Because Nic was in front of me, I couldn’t see his face. I can only hear its voice.

I tried to peek but Nic blocked my view again. To my annoyance, I pushed him and spontaneously came out from behind it.

"Oh, hey there pretty!" said the new man briskly and smiled sweetly.

He looks like the smiley version of Red. This one is also handsome, being a playboy is obvious.

"Hi" I shyly greeted.

"Wow! You got a beautiful wife man!" another man appeared. He was with Isabel.

He had the same features with Red and the playboy guy. The only difference is, Red is a bit serious, the second man who showed up is heavenly, and this third one is gentle to look at.

"Stop the act, Nolan. You have seen her already. Be careful with this bastard man. I caught him stalking your wife on social media" the playboy said. I don't know his name, so that's all I'll call him first.

"Hi sister, forgive those two, they are idiots so that's why" Isabel approached me.

"Fuck you Elo" the gentle man said stiffly. Nolan, is that it?

"Stop you two" Red said seriously. "Let's go" he said. "Blu! Deb!"

"What?" irritated question of another man came.

Another man followed suit. They were carrying ripe mangoes.

"What was that?!" Elo asked irritably.

"Mangga bro, you see" replied the man who also looked like the previous men.

"Are they related children?" I couldn't help but ask Isabel. It was irritating to face me.

"They are cousins. Except for brother Elo and Deb, they were siblings" he pointed to the man carrying the mango. "That's Deb" I assume, he was the youngest among them. "Those are idiots" he added.

"Eh, his one. What's his name?" I pointed to the man who came last, he was also carrying a mango.

"That's brother Blu" I nodded.

"Come with your sister here, huh?" said Nic suddenly. She was talking to Isabel but she was looking at me.

"Of course brother. You've already left" Isabel really raised her voice. For others to hear as well.

"Nolan and Elo, join Isabel here" Red ordered.

Elo immediately frowned. "But I wanted to join you guys" its complaint.

"Don't" Deb told her older brother.

"Yeah, it's so much better here" Nolan looked at me and smiled sheepishly.

"Nolan" Nic's bloodshot eyes bore into him. "Don't you ever try"

"Alright. I'm just kidding man" she laughed.

Red, Nic, Blu, and Deb walked towards the sea. Deb was the first to board their boat to the yacht, followed by Red and the others.

Where are they really going?"

Fisherman" Elo replied sparingly. His forehead is still furrowed.

They always do it every summer. Isabel is in the conversation." They will stay with us for the rest of the summer, I hope it's alright with you "
