CHAPTER 12

—

"Baby," I stopped when I heard him, his voice sounds vulnerable. I swallowed hard as I look back at him.

"Don't go, I'll behave," he whispered but I heard it. I blink for how many times, he's looking at me tenderly.

His eyes are making weak, he looks like a baby, gone the rough Wyatt. What's happening to him? He let me go, he told me to go. Then why he would ask me to stay, why he

would act like this.

You're so confusing, Wyatt.

I saw how his eyes measure the distance between us and he don't like it as his lips twisted. He bit his lips and closed his fist, there's something that's making

upset.

"Wyatt—"

"I don't like it," he said while looking at me, he gritted his teeth.

"You don't like what?" I asked at him.

He took a step forward and I took a step backward unconciously, I saw how he gasped when he saw what I did.

His lips twisted acting so irritated but when he stared at me all of the frustation was gone, all I can see is his pleading eyes.

But.. he's pleading for what?

"Wyatt," I called him, he's sulking like a child, he's over-thinking. The way his gaze turns to me made me trembles, there's something in his eyes that's making my

heart hammered so fast.

"You don't like me," he mumbled, his lips pouted and for the hell sake! He's so adorable, where's the serious Wyatt? He should stop acting cute and adorable cause it

giving me a heart-attack!

"Wyatt—"

"Don't step back, I don't like it," he said and he's looking down, I can't see his eyes, he's crazy.

"You told me to go," I muttered.

"Cause you wanted to go so bad," he said darkly.

"If that so, why are you stopping me? Why are you asking me to stay if you already let me go," I murmured.

He gaze laid at me, his eyes has a lot of emotion that I can't name. He clenched his jaw and took a step towards me and this time I didn't move and just watch him walk

to me.

His hand automatically snaked around my waist, a possesive stance. I stared at him and he's looking at me intently.

"I don't like it, I don't like watching you walk away from me," he said and grip my waist more tightly.

"You already let go of me for how many times and you always watch me walk away," I stated.

"I didn't watch go away, I always make sure to close my eyes tightly so I wouldn't see it," he said and my lips parted.

"Then why didn't you do it now? Why don't you just close your eyes as I walk—"

"Why do I felt like I'm losing you," he said emphatically.

I smiled at him, "You would never lose me.."

"Anica—"

"Cause I was never been yours," I whispered.

I saw how his eyes turn dark, he bit his lips and look at me with his intimidating aura, I was amazed, how can he changed his mood in just a second.

He look at me with his intense eyes, "How can I make you mine if you're adoring someone who isn't me," he said.

My brow furrowed, "What are you saying, Wyatt?"

"Focus on me and I'll court you," he said.

I swallowed hard as I stares at him, is he crazy?

"That would be unfair, Wyatt. If I'll focus on you and you wouldn't be able to do the same," I said mockingly.

"I told you I like you," he said with his voice full of authority.

I sighed heavily, "It's not enough, Wyatt. How can I believe it when I saw how you cared for her," I mumbled at him.

A smile crept on his lips and it's made my heart hammered, gosh, I can't believe this! When did smile make my heart beat fast?!

"Do you like me, too, Anica?" he muttered and bit his lips playfully.

I glared at him, "Are you playing with me, Wyatt? Is this some kind of game—"

"I don't like games, Anica. I want to know if you like me too," he said.

"For what? For you ego—"

"Here we go again with my ego," he said.

I link my lips to hide my smile, he's looks like a kid, it's so new to Wyatt I used to know.

"Then why do you want to know?" I asked while raising my brow to him.

His hand moves horizontally to my waist, "I just want to hear it," he said and pouted.

Damn it!

I look away, his lips looks so tempting, this is the second time I saw him pout and he's so adorable, damn adorable.

"What do you think?" I asked.

I heard him frowned, "Look at me," he said demandingly.

I shook my head, "I think what you feel is just infatuation, Wyatt."

He held my chin and made me look at him, his forehead wrinkle as he stared at me seriously.

"Don't make it sound like you knew what I feel,"

"How can I be sure that you're not fooling me?" I asked doubtfully at him.

He capture my eyes and look at me, "Look at my eyes and tell if I'm fooling you,"

I stared at him and I knew to myself that I'm doomed, no matter how much I deny it.. I like him and I know he will play a big role in my life.

I'm not good at reading other but I can feel his at most sincerity. I would never know if he's fooling me but am I willing to risk?

We still have a weeks together, whatever happens in the island will stay in the island, I would just go with the flow like the water in the oceans.

"I like you," I mumbled confidently.

I saw how his lips parted in suprise, he's still in awe when I felt my cheeks heated.

I look down to hide my embarrassment, it was a sudden decision that I did but there's no turning back.

I bit my lips before I look at him, my brow furrowed when I saw his face darkened while he's clenching his jaw. Is he mad?

Why? He doesn't like what I said? Is he just fooling me? or playing with me?

"Are you mad?" I asked while frowning.

He gritted his teeth, "You like me?" he asked again.

I glared at him, what does he want? He's mad, but why?

Shame eated my system as I confirmed that he doesn't like what I said. He's Wyatt, maybe he's just joking around a while ago.

Should I take my words back?

The intensity of eyes were dangerous to look at, "You like me and you like him, too," he said frigidly.

My face crumbled in confusion, what?

"What are you talking about, Wyatt?"

He let go of my waist, he crossed his arms over his chest while looking at me darkly.

"You said you like Vasqen, and now you're saying that you like me too, are you two timing us," he said mockingly.

I chortled because of that, he's ridiculous!

He look at me with annoyance and I just laughed even more. Did he really believe it?

I really like Saweas.. as a friend. We have the same vibes and he's fun to be with.

"Yes.. I do said that I like him, he's a good guy after all, we have this same vibes and we really get along so well," I explained.

"Are you trying to make me jealous, Anica," he said, he groaned and cussed.

I chuckled at him, "I like him as a friend, Wyatt." I said but his mood didn't changed a bit.

"And me? You like me as a friend too?" he said irritatedly.

I pouted, "Friends don't kiss," I said.

His brow furrowed, "He kissed you, remember?" I swallowed hard as his voice filled with sarcasm.

"It's different, Wyatt. I didn't kiss him back—"

"You didn't kiss me back, too," he said, he's sulking, really?

I rolled my eyes on him, "I kissed you back, when we were in the bar," I said.

A smirked crept in my lips as I saw him hiding his smile, "Tss," he said.

I shook my head, "You don't remember that? Maybe because you had a good s*x with Karylle," I said mockingly.

This time he sniffle at me, "Jealous? I was with you the whole time, Anica, so how can I have s*x with her,"

I glared at him, "So if I wasn't there you would really have a good—"

"No,"

I squints at him, "Defensive,"

He bit his lips as he supress his laughter, "Let's drop this nonsense topic and let's talk about us," he said.

I frowned, "I already said I like you," I said annoyingly.

He shook his head unbelievable, "Let's sit down," he muttered.

He held my hand and pulled me to the couch. He sat down and my plan is to sit beside him but he pulled me in his lap.

"Wyatt!" I rebuke him.

I tried to stand him but he hold me tight. "What?" he asked innocetly.

Brute.

"I can sit beside you," I said sarcastically.

"And you can sit in my lap," he said mockingly.

I just rolled my eyes on him, asshole.

"You really like me, hmm," he said and sniff my shoulder.

"Stop that, Wyatt. It's tickling me," I said as I push him but he just captured my hand in his hand.

"You really don't like him?" he asked, tss.

I stared at him, "I like him as a friend," I said.

"Tss, you always talked about him," he said while looking at me in so much accusation.

"I just want to open a topic, Wyatt. I think you're close to him, well.. before," I murmured.

I think they were close friend before that happened, when I said Saweas was sick he immediately tell me what I should do to make him feel better and besides I can feel

it too.

The way they know each other, it's so obvious.

When I glanced at him as I felt him stilled in what I said, "Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

He buried his face on my neck, "Let's not talk about that," he whispered.

I sighed heavily and he felt that so he looks at me, "Are you mad?" he asked.

I smiled at him and shook my head, "No,"

I just realized that.. he keeps a lot of thing that he can't tell and I think I should respect that, that's his privacy and I should know the boundary between lines.

He made understood something.. that even if you know a thing, if you're not in the position to tell that story then you have to do anything to keep it. A secret is a

secret.. after all.

"Hey, you're upset—"

"Thank you," I said, he look at me confused.

"What for?"

I shrugged and lean on him, this time I was the one who buried my face in his neck, "For making me realized something and for not tolerating my brat attitude," I

whispered.

I felt him sighed, "You're not a brat, you're just confused and I understand that, you just have to trust me," he muttered and kissed my head.

I smiled.

"Did you ever fell to someone, Wyatt?" I asked.

"Fall in love?" he asked.

I nod, "I just wonder, what does it feel to be in love?"

I felt him kissed my head multiple times, "I think love feels so extraordinary and extreme, it will put you high and low at a times," he said.

I pouted, "Did you fell to someone?"

"I did before, but she's in love with someone else," he plainly said.

I bit my lips, "Did she know that you love her?"

"No,"

I swallowed hard, "Maybe if she know.. there's a chance that—"

"I don't think so," he said.

I shrugged, If he loved her then there's a chance that he's still have a feelings for her? I closed my eyes tightly, just go with the flow, Anica, right? What happens

in island will just stay in island.

"Are you sleepy?" he asked.

I sat properly and faced him, "A little," I said.

"Where are you going to sleep?" I asked.

"Here," he said.

I raised my brow, "I'm gonna sleep here in the couch maybe you can sleep beside Saweas," I suggested.

His face crumbled in annoyance, I laughed in his reaction. I knew it, they would have the same reaction.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"I'll just sleep here in the couch," he said plainly.

I pouted, "Where I will sleep then? Should I sleep beside Saw—"

"No," he said coldly.

I smirked at him, "Then you should sleep beside him if you don't want me to sleep there," I said wickedly.

He glared at me, "Don't trick me, Anica," he said.

I shook my head, "There's no available room cause it's all locked except in Saweas room." I said.

"We can sleep here in the couch," he muttered.

"You're too tall and muscular, we wouldn't fit here," I said.

He tsked, "We will, do you want to sleep?" he asked.

The couch is big and wide but in his built I don't think we would be able to fit here so it's really better if he'll just sleep in the room, the bed is king size.

"You'll have your back hurts tomorrow so just sleep in where Saweas is staying," I told him, I'm just being pratical, if it's just me then it would be fine cause I'm

slim unlike him, he's muscular and tall.

He shrugged. "No, I'll sleep here," he said.

A stubborn ass.

I sighed, "Okay, I'm just worried you'll have a back pain," I said.

He shook his head and kissed my forehead, he stood up and so I am, he fix the pillow and look at me, "Lie down," he said.

I pouted and did what he said, I lie down and move in the end so he can have his space.

When he lie down beside me I chortled, he's really big to sleep in the couch. He glared at me. He put his hand under my head so I can use his arm as my pillow. He

pulled me closer to him, at first I'm just lying sideways but when minutes passed almost half of my body is lying on him.

My head is resting on his chest and it felt so comfortable.

"I told you we will fit here," he mumbled in my ear.

I chuckled at him, "I'll wait till your arms get numb, huh," I said teasingly.

"This is our usual position when we were sleeping together but my arms didn't get numb," he said mockingly.

My cheeks heated, tss.

"It's different cause we're here in the couch," I said.

His chest moves as I he chuckled, "It's still the same, you're still a baby when you're asleep." he muttered.

I look at him and glared, "I'm not!"

His eyes are teasing me, I strike his chest, "Stop," I told him with a glare but he just chortled and kiss the tip of my nose.

I rolled my eyes on him before I rested my head on his chest again.

"It's hot," he said.

"Should we open the window and curtains?" I asked without looking at him cause my eyes felt so sleepy already.

"I'm not used wearing a clothes when I'm sleeping," he said.

"Hmm," I hummed as my eyes is in the edge of sleeping.

He held me carefully and put my head in the pillow as he sat me, I tried to open my eyes cause I'm searching for something.. his scent.

He removed his clothes, he put it in the side table, he was left in his boxer. After that he lie down and put me in his arms again.

As I rested my head in his chest I sniff his scent and I felt him stilled but I just ignored it and as a second passed I fell in a deep slumber sleep.

I woke up when I felt someone's caressing my cheeks, when I open my eyes Wyatt's face greeted me, he's staring at me intenly.

I smiled at him, "Morning," I said.

"Morning," he said and kissed my forehead.

Our position didn't even changed a bit, "Did you sleep well? Is your back okay? or it hurts?" I asked.

He shook his head, "I'm fine and I slept well," he stated.

I nod and close my eyes, I still felt sleepy tho I slept early last night.

I sighed and tried to sat up, he helped me but he made me sit on his stomach, I frowned at him.

"Wyatt," I said to warn him but he just shrugged.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

I pouted and nod at him, "What time it is?" I asked.

"It's still early, eight o'clock," he muttered.

"Saweas needs to eat and drink medicine, I was sleeping peacefully lastnight did he called me?" I asked.

He tsked, "I checked him and he's sleeping peacefully too," he said boredly.

I smiled widely, "Really? You checked him?" I asked and giggled.

He didn't answer and just avoid my stare. I laughed and pinched his cheeks, he frowned at me.

"You have to cook some breakfast," I said and stood up.

He sighed before he stood up, "I'l just check Saweas, you should go to kitchen and cook," I said but he furrowed his brow to me.

"What?" I asked.

"I'll go with you," he muttered.

I rolled my eyes on him, "You don't have to," I response but he just glared at me.

"Okay, fine," I said and mocked him.

I was the first one to went inside and I saw Saweas still sleeping, I sat beside him and check his neck and forehead, he's still sick but it's lessen.

I get the towel in the bed, for sure it fell because he's sleeping, it's already dry.

"He's better than last night," I said and combed Saweas hair to push his hair up, he's sweating cause we didn't open the air-con.

"Should we open the ac?" I turns to Wyatt and asked but he's not looking at me.

"He's still sick but he's already sweating then open it but just low," he coldly said.

After I fixed Saweas blanket I stood up, "Let's go," I said.

He nod and went outside first, I followed him to kitchen.

"Hey," I called him. He glanced at me and I know there's something wrong.

He's standing in the sink and leaning on it, I walked towards him and hugged him, I felt him calm.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He stared at me and shook his head, "Nothing," he said and kissed my forehead.

"Wyatt," I said, I know there's something messing in his mind.

He sighed and shrugged, "I'm fine—"

I look at him disappointedly but I don't want to force him, I removed my hands on his waist but chase it and put it, he frowned when I did that.

"Hmm?"

He bit his lips and pulled me, "I'm not just comfortable seeing you act like that with someone," he said.

I smiled, "He's sick and he's our friend," I explained.

"I know but there's still a chance that you'll like him," he said emphatically.

I rolled my eyes on him, "I did like him as a friend, don't overthink," I said and kissed the tip of his nose.

He shrugged and hugged me, he kissed my head before he let me go.

"What do you want?" he asked.

I sat down and acted like I'm thinking, "Usual breakfast, hmm, ham and bacon," I said.

He nods and get the food on the bridge, it's frozen so he wash it first.

While cooking I decided to check my phone if there's any message.

I received three messages, one from Helena, two from Lexine.

I checked Helena's message first cause I think it's important.

From: Helana

Dad asked me to go there to help you.

My eyes widened, she's gonna come here? I swallowed hardly, I didn't expect that, but when?

To: Helena

When? Are you alone? or you're with someone?

After I texted her back I checked Lexine's message.

From: b***h

I can't wait to go there! Are you busy?

From: Bitch

I found out something, Donovan's island was placed in Palawan!

I shrugged, I know.

To: Bitch

Yup, I have a suprise to you so you better be excited, Aja.

"Who are you texting to?" he asked as he put the food in the table.

I look at him, "Lexine, my bestfriend, I didn't able to introduce you to her, but I think you two know each other, right? You bought her condo, tss."

He nod at me, "Lexine Semilla, daughter of Senator Gabriel," he said.

I nod at him, "Helana also texted me, she said she'll come here because Dad asked her too," I said.

"I know that she'll be going here," he said and sat in front of me.

He knew?

"How?" I asked confusedly.

He put a plate for me, "Your Dad told me too, he already informed me," he said.

I nod at him, I stood up to prepare Saweas food, while preparing I felt Wyatt's hand snaked around my waist.

"Hmm," I turn around to face him, I put my hand on his neck.

He look at me intently, I smiled at him, "What are you thinking, hmm," I asked.

"You looks so perfect," he said seriously.

I bit my lips to suppress my smile but I failed, "Really?"

He nod at me and pulled me closer, I felt his breathing on my forehead as he kissed it.

"You're being extra clingy, hmm," I whispered at him.

He pulled away a little to look at me and smirked before he can say something someone spoke.

"Really? Public Display of Affection in the kitchen? Tss," I immediately removed my hand on Wyatt's neck as I heard Saweas. I heard Wyatt's frowned but I just glared

at him before I turn to Saweas.

"You fine already?" I asked as I walked towards him, I touch his neck and forehead.

"You're still sick," I said but he just shrugged.

"I felt okay now," he said.

I saw Wyatt sat on his chair a while ago and Saweas walked to him and sat beside him.

I rolled my eyes, I can feel the tension between them.

I sat in front of them, I gave to Saweas the food I prepared.

"You cook?" he asked.

I squints at him, "Wyatt did," I said.

I saw a playful smirked flustered on his lips, I think he's fine already cause he's being so playful.

"You don't know how to cook, Ceanna, hmm," he said teasingly.

I rolled my eyes on him, "Shut up, Qen. Annoying," I said mockingly.

"Tss," I heard Wyatt.

I look at him and he's just eating without looking at us. Usual.

"Drink this medicine after you eat," I said to Saweas.

His face filled with disgust, "I'm fine already," he exclaimed.

Now is my turn to smirk at him so I did, he frowned at me, "You'll drink that whenever you like it or not," I said.

He glared at me and sighed, when we're done eating, I decided to wash the dishes so while I'm washing I heard Wyatt and Saweas talking so I stop to listen to them.

"I hate antibiotics," Saweas whispered.

"Tsk, just drink that moron," Wyatt said coldly.

"Asshole, you hate it too," Saweas said irritatedly.

"I didn't say I like it," Wyatt said sarcastically.

"Drink it for me," Saweas said.

I heard Wyatt groaned, "Moron I'm not sick,"

"Helmer, I'll puke out if I'll drink this," Saweas sounded like a child.

He called Wyatt.. Helmer.

I heard Wyatt hissed, "Brute, just drink it, it will help you—"

"Tss, you won't help—"

"Don't use that face on me, Vasqen," Wyatt said.

"Then help me," Saweas stated.

"Tsk, Just do our old tricks," Wyatt suggested. Old tricks, huh.

"I'll pretend that I drink the medicine and you'll keep it?" Saweas mumbled to Wyatt.

"If she caught us we'll be doomed you brute," Wyatt said.

I bit my lips, Wyatt cannot resist Saweas. I knew it, they're close to each other. They can't deny it, it looks like Wyatt is always the mature one and Saweas is the

younger playful one.

They're still twenty two but I think Saweas is spoiled to Wyatt.

I finished washing and went to them, I get the medicine and gave it Saweas, "Drink," I said.

Wyatt looks frustrated.

"Don't try to trick me or else," I said to threaten them.

Saweas frowned and pretend that he drink it but I saw how fast he hide the medicine in between his fingers and put his hand down below the table and I'm sure Wyatt's

holding it right now.

The teamwork of this two made me suprised, they already mastered it.

The friendship has a lot of aspects, you maybe had an issue but the connection between is still intact as a gold that's never broken.
