CHAPTER 29
SISTER
"The kiss mark looks pretty good on you," he suddenly said making my eyes widen. What??
He laughed because of my reaction. Wait? Is there a kiss mark on my neck? Why didn't I notice earlier? Oh my gosh! Keegan!
But I have nothing to be ashamed of! this kiss mark is from my man! It's my pleasure to wear him every time. His gaze fell on my fingers causing me to panic. I'm not afraid of the Guardian finding out that Keegan and I are back together. I just don't want to surprise him.
"Who's the lucky guy?" Xane asked teasingly.
I was surprised because we talked so normally. It's like I wasn't so angry with him then.
"You don't know him. So don't ask anymore." I smiled sweetly at him causing him to laugh.
"Exactly the point. I'm asking to know him." he drawled lazily.
"His name is Keegan... so hot right?" I promised with pride in my voice.
"Is he a jealous type of person?" he asked in a curious voice while taking a sip.
My eyebrows met because of his question. Why is he asking? I've never seen Keegan so jealous or jealous. But why did he ask?
"Is he capable of shooting someone on the spot?" the more I don't understand his question. What is he saying? I don't get him.
“What's your point? I don't get it." what are you asking!
He leaned his back comfortably on the chair. He pouted his lips making him look more like my son!
"My point is... I think I'm currently being murdered in someone's head right now or maybe I might be dead by now." he uttered smirking
what the heck is he saying! I don't understand his words! I made him laugh so hard. Crazy!
"Look outside and see it for yourself," there's an amusement etched in his voice.
Confused, I opened my eyes. I was about to fall out of my chair when I saw who was out there! Chief Alister Keegan Costaguero was watching us from outside.
He was leaning his back on his car. His car was parked under a big tree in front of the restaurant. I didn't see any emotion in his eyes but his dark look while looking at me.
My throat was suddenly dry because of the nervousness. I licked my lips nervously.
"Guardian," I called my son with my trembling voice.
"Yes, Mimi?" He asked innocently
"Mimi will leave first, huh? I just have an important walk today. Do you want to see Chief again?" I asked my son
Confused, he nodded at my question.
"You'll meet him again tomorrow and I have a secret to tell. Be nice okay? kiss me." I said softly and he immediately kissed me.
I hurriedly stood up and looked at Xane.
"Take good care of my son." I said and gave him a smile.
"I'll do that. You don't have to remind me. Now, go. I might suddenly fall here if you take a while longer." he chuckled
I planted a kiss on Guardian's head before I left the restaurant. I was just walking when I felt my lips tremble.
I bit my lower lip nervously. what explanation should I say? That I texted him but it turns out that my load has run out? I don't know what to say! My mind went blank.
Keegan didn't take his dark gaze from her. I was surprised because he suddenly turned away from me as if he was sulking. Shit! I suddenly panicked because he immediately entered the driver's seat when he saw that I was approaching him.
I walked faster towards his tinted black Lexus car. But I'm not going to the passenger seat. I walked towards the driver's seat. I opened it because it wasn't locked. Keegan's side profile appeared to me as he looked ahead. His jaw was clenching while the veins on his hand protruded while his hand was holding the steering wheel.
“Keegan, hey. I'm s-sorry... I texted you but I ran out of load. guardian wants to see me and he invited me if we can have lunch together. I can't stop him. I've forgotten to text you. I'm sorry...” I bit my lip nervously.
I saw how his shoulders moved up and down as if he was just holding back the explosion.
"Get in the car. we'll talk later." there was restraint in his voice causing me to swallow.
Even though I was nervous, I removed both of his hands from the steering wheel causing him to look up at me. I saw how hurt and angry his eyes were. without saying goodbye I sat on his lap causing his jaw to drop. I immediately closed the door.
I cupped his cheeks and showered his face with my kisses. I'm s-sorry...
I felt him stiffen with my moves. he held my waist when I planted a kiss on his lips.
"Stop teasing me with your damn kisses. I'm so upset right now. I'm so fucking scared. I'm so fucking jealous.” he breathes hard. I felt his fingers dug into my skin.
"Who's that man? Is he the father of Guardian?” he asked in a cold voice. I nodded and caressed his jaw.
"Why didn't you tell me? While I'm watching the three of you. You look like a happy family." he said sarcastically that made me laugh a bit.
"Really? Maybe just in your eyes? My yuki is jealous hmm...”
"Forgive me please,"
He glared at me but seconds later he wrapped his arms around my waist. He buried his face in the side of my neck.
“Fuck it. I wanted so bad to be mad at you. But why do I find myself always this soft whenever you're so close to me. why my heart always melts whenever your skin touches mine. I have so many doubts about myself... I'm trying my best to be hard. But when it comes to you, I don't know I'm just to fucking soft.”
"One sorry from your mouth, the anger in my heart will vanish instantly. the way your lips touched mine will make my doubts and worries go away. I know that even if I'm angry, even with an explanation, I'll kneel before you again."
"When I said I don't have a trust in you. That's a mere lie. I've always trusted you. My heart trusts you. my heart won't listen to the lies from your mouth because he knows you better. Even if you don't apologize or explain. My heart knows that you are doing nothing wrong.”
"Its just my jealousy eating my whole system. I know I shouldn't be jealous but I can't help it. I'm afraid they'll take you away from me. I'm afraid...” his voice quivered when he whispered those words.
It's like someone kicked my heart. Keegan, you're too good to be true. I combed her hair while she calmed herself down.
He suddenly went up and immediately looked for my eyes.
He caressed my cheeks with gentleness. He looked at my eyes with so much love.
"I love you..." he whispered lowly that made my heart flip in such a crazy way.
My lips parted and my tears started to well under my eyes.
"I love you more," I whispered back and eagerly kissed his lips. This is the life I want.
I smiled as I watched our clasped hands. While he was driving. I was nervous as I wondered if his brother would like me.
"How old is your sister?" I asked him curiously wanting to fish some information to know his sister.
“She's sixteen. She's now a big girl.” He gave me a proud smile.
"What's her name?"
"Allesteyah Keanna..." the name of his sister came from his mouth smoothly.
my jaw dropped in amazement!
"Her name is so pretty!" what a beautiful name! I am impressed with their parents because they are so good at thinking of names.
"I didn't know that you had a sister. I thought you were an only child. You and Allesteyah live in different places then?"
“You didn't ask though. We have a house with my grandmother. We grew up there. I got a scholarship after junior high school so I decided to move to an apartment near the school and work. Their house is not far, grandma. The flight is only one hour. I always come home when my brother needs me. It's just the cost of the fare, but I can't let him down."
My heart hurts while imagining what he's been through.
"One of the reasons why I can't be mad at you is because I see myself in you. I know you shouldn't have been struggling alone raising Guardian if Villia is only here. But because you love Villia and especially her daughter, you can't let them down. You are always there when they need you.”
"Why would I get mad if we're at the same foot." he gave me a sly smile.
"I'm always wondering. Why are you choosing the path of suffering alone? When you have a princess life that your parents can give you? It made me so much proud of you. You really matured a lot. You're so very selfless. you love differently... Your love for the people around you is so unique and rare.”
“I loved you even more when I saw how you became Guardian's mother. You're such a great mother. I'm the proudest of you."
I cried because of his words. I'm proud of you too! our story maybe not like from the other couple out there. But I can say that our love story is unique and rare. We maybe away from each other for years but the connection of love we had still remained. Our heart ties strongly together.
If earlier while we were still on the flight I could still breathe but now I can't. My chest was pounding as Keegan and I held each other.
"Don't be nervous. She's not going to eat you." Keegan chuckled and kissed my temple.
"Wow! Your brother is here," I heard someone shout inside the house.
"Sir Keegan, you're here," an assistant greeted us. I think she's in her forties.
"Hello, ma'am Angel. It's good that you're finally here." I was surprised because he knew me.
I smiled back at him.
"You are very beautiful Ma'am. You're a little scary to look at when you're not smiling, but you're so beautiful." I smiled widely because of what he said. I like her she's so honest.
I felt Keegan's grip on my waist tightened.
"Where is it in Allesteyah, Manang?" Keegan asked
"Oh, she's upstairs, Sir. She's been in her room for a while now. Readying herself but until now she's not yet done. Emma is calling her right now. Please come in, Sir, Ma'am."
We slowly strode towards their house. I was amazed because it was like an ancient house. The house seems to have been built in ancient times but it is still standing tall.
"Grandma died three years ago. I want to take Allesteyah to the condo but she doesn't want to. She loves this house. She doesn't want to leave the memories here. he promised that he would take care of Grandma's old house. Grandma raised us both when Mama and Papa died."
My eyes softened and looked up at him.
"Why did your parents die?" I don't want to ask this but I'm curious and I want to know more about him.
"Because of those damn drugs again..." his voice shook.
I swallowed and smiled at him "You don't have tell me the whole story. I'm sorry for asking.”
I badly want to ask more. But I stopped myself. I don't want to trigger his painful memories to come back. it's so hard if you keep reminiscing your past.
"No, it's okay... I'll tell you more about life. I want you to know me more. I want my wife to know her husband fully.” he mumbled.
My heart felt like jumping out. my heart just can't stop beating faster every time Keegan's with me.
"Brother!" our attention was caught when we heard a young woman's voice.
My eyes went to the stairs where the voice came from. I felt like I saw a young angel when I looked at Keegan's brother hurrying down the stairs. Her white dress is effortlessly swaying as he comes down.
Goodness... She's a beauty.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Keegan greeted him and immediately hugged him.
It was like someone touched my heart in the scene.
"When did I make you feel disappointed? I won't do that to you." Keegan whispered in his sister's ears making me teary eyed. My Keegan is just so sweet.
I blinked when Allesteyah pulled away from her big brother's hug and immediately came to me. Her eyes twinkled while looking at my face. I was taken aback by the look she was giving because it was as if she was seeing an artist by what she looks right now. She's looking at me so amazed and I don't know why!
"Can I hug you, sister?" I blinked again when I heard her soft and pleasing voice.
"Sure," I croaked and gave her my beautiful smile
She immediately went to me and embraced me with a tight hug. I looked at Keegan.
"She loves you," he mouthed making my heart melt.
"I thought I can only hug you in my dreams. Is this real? I'm hugging the woman who makes my brother's heart happy? I can't believe I'm hugging her now.” Allesteyah murmured causing me to laugh softly.
"Finally I can brag this to Grandma. I know this is also her dream. She want to hugs the future wife of my brother."
"Grandma, if you'll see us now. Your dream is happening. Just imagine there in heaven that you're the one who's hugging Ate Angel right now.” Allesteyah giggled causing me to smile.
She's a bubbly teenager. I hope she'll stay this way. I bet she's also a brother girl. I can see how she loves her brother and her grandmother who's in heaven now. I bet their grandmother is proud of them. She raised her grandchildren wonderfully.
