He looks excited sharing all his smoked fish moment and she just listened in. She sometimes feeds him so he won't find it difficult eating while talking.
What if we end up being together, would we still be like this? Wow, you're fastforward Miss. Now you're thinking of the future. So what? I like him and he likes me. We'll eventually be together anyway. Hihihi. She grinned at her inside jokes.
"Don't leave yet," she heard Chryxso say. They finished the sumptious meal and slouched on the grass. She paused on her thoughts and looked at him.
"Hmmm,"
"I feel like I'll recover faster if you're here with me." he giddily said.
"That won't work with me mister." she smugly replied.
"Are you still mad at me?" his face crumpled again.
"I'm not. And you really need that surgery so don't even try to back out. Also, my brother just sent me a message earlier, I needed to meet with him for some matters at home." She lied.
After all the whirlwind of events and confession for today, she felt like she already lost it. As if her anger has just been swiftly blown away and here she is, looking like a mad fool also in love. This cannot be, I need to think this over. I can't rush things like this.
"Looks like I won't really be able to stop you, I'm still sorry though."
"It's not like that. It's just..." What is it really?
"I understand. I hope you'd still give me a chance to erase your first impression of me. I'd even ask for your brother's permission if you like." Oh, he's such a man. Kiss him, Mayu. Kiss him. Shut up! She silenced her devil-possesed mind.
"Thanks, We'll see each other soon." she tried to coax him.
"Thanks," he softly replied but he didn't sound convinced.
What the heck, I already forgave you. I even think I'm already in love with you so why would I get mad? I just needed time to think. What would you think about, don't you love him already? Shut up, i can't rush things like this.
And also, why can't I play hard to get? Oi, is that the real reason why?
"Let's go back now," she called out to him when she saw lightning flash in the sky.
"Go on first, I'll stray for a bit. I haven't visited this place for quite some time." She pouted, just say you're sulking.
"Okay. Let me keep you company," he just smiled.
"After my brother proposed to his wife, I haven't had to chance to step foothere again."
"Really? Why?"
"I did something really stupid that day. I thought the array of dinner prepared when I entered this room was for me. I just arrived overseas from work that time."
"You pig! Did you eat the food that's supposed to be eaten by your brother and his wife?" he nodded while staring far away, trying to remember that day.
"Yep, I ate it. I'm just chowing down on the food on the bench when I heard their voices coming up. I have not meet his wife whose still his fiancee at that time but I knew she's the one with him. He would never bring any girl here anyway."
"What did you do?"
"I got up and welcomed them here."
"Really, they did not scold you?"
"About that." he contorted his face as he remembered the details of that day.
"Yow!"
"Chryxso. What are you doing here?!"
"Surprise! Is she my sissy? Hi Sissy!" he waved to the little woman beside him.
"Chryxso! You came." the woman warmly replied.
"I'm here for your wedding." he grinned while he kept on eating the chocolate mousse.
"What?" the woman gasped. A guy about his height came forward and knocked his head hard.
"How would I proposed if you're here, eating our dinner? Oh my goodness!"
"You're...We...You...?" the woman blinked back tears that are threatening to spill any moment now.
"I'm sorry. This is not supposed to be like this. Chryxso!" his brother yelled at him in frustration when he saw his fiancee's tears.
He can't decipher if he also wants to cry on his dilemma or just kill him out of his annoyance. He immediately groveled at the feet of her fiancee.
"Sissy, I beg you. Please marry my brother, My life is on the line!" the woman stopped crying and laughed.
"Of course I'm gonna marry him you stupid!"
"What?" his brother is surprised with her statement. He's too engrossed in his frustration that he did not immediately register what she said.
"You don't want to?"
"I want! I want!" he's quicker than lightning when he responded.
"Now, where is my ring?" she extended her hand like she's just collecting debts. His brother turned back to him.
"Where's the chocolate mousse?"
"Huh?" and he felt a sudden pain on his teeth when he bit into a hard object.
His hand automatically reached for his cheek and contorted his face in pain. As he started to yelp in pain, something shiny fell from his mouth and they all turned to check it out.
His brother checked where the object fell, grabbed a napking from the table and knelt down to pick it up. He raised the object and found out that it was the ring that his brother is looking for.
"You put the ring in the mousse? How can you do that? My gums are now hurting, I feel like my face is splitting into half." he complained. He did not notice his brother's flaring temper as he stood up.
"First, you ate the dinner. Now, you're also eating the ring! Chryxso!"
"Yes old brother?" he stood in attention and readied himself for some beating when he heard the intensity of his roar. His fiancee was quick to respond and hugged his body to stop him from attacking.
"I do!" they shifted their gaze to he tiny woman that's still hugging his brother's waist.
"What is it?" they both had a confused look in their faces. Who ask?
"I do! I'll marry you even if your brother chewed on the ring and even if he ate our dinner!"
"Sissy, you make me feel guilty."
"Shut up!" and he immediately did.
"I'll marry you because...because..." she sobbed.
"Why do we need a reason to get married? Is that important? I love you anyway, shouldn't that be enough?" his brother laughed with her simple thoughts.
He kissed her, her eyes, her face, her sweet soft lips. He stealthily walked away to give them some privacy but his soon-to-be sister-in-law-to-be cut him though.
"Where do you think you're going Chryxso?"
"Ahm. Ugh." he gulped down.
"I just thought you need some privacy alone. Hehe. I won't want to disturb you." He smiled sheepishly.
"You haven't notice that you've already intruded enough? The atmosphere here is stinking with your gluttony. I would have really sewn your big mouth if my baby here ran away." his brother started scolding him.
"Sissy," he turned to his now-fiancee.
He's always on good terms with her and he'd hope she would give him some pardon. The tiny lady smiled sweetly, broke away form his brother's embraced and walked towards him.
"It's alright," she kept on smiling as she picked his left ear and twisted it with all her strength.
