Chapter 23 - Lost in thought (2)

Gianne is not a weak woman that cannot protect herself, but it was a different reason entirely for her pick to make me pay my back my bet with accompanied her drink whenever she wants to. She doesn't need to explain it, and she knew I will just do it anyways. A man must honor his words. Simple as that. And she knew the perfect time to demand it that will not affect my business.

That particular night, unlike other times, she mumbles something about saving Pandora, the key should remain locked and no more been taken away from her before she passes out dead drunk. She knew her tolerance with alcohol; she will not let herself been dead drunk. Semi-drunk? Sometimes. Totally drunk? Not once. Passed out dead drunk? Never!

And the very next day, I went to her house to check her she was so out of her characters but she's gone again. Until she resurfaced two months ago after gone for a whole year without contact. Coming with an unexpected proposal. Typical Gianne, she never fails surprised me.

But she disappears once again. In our own wedding day. Asking me. Nope. Ordering me more like it, to sweep the bride with her sister. Thus leaving me with Malina own complicated issues to be hitch into my wagon.

But how marriage to Malina solves my own issues? If Gieanne is in front of me now and I pose this question, I can clearly hear her crude response could be.

A woman. She got a pair of boobs. Check

An adult. She can legally get drunk today. Check.

A trustworthy person. She is my own sister that I practically raised up. I won't recommend people who didn't meet my standard. So it will be check again.

If I questioned further such as intelligence, loyalty, and etcetera, I have no doubt she will flip the table. And unfortunately, I trusted her judgment in profiler people.

And those issues about Malina must be alive until she is nineteen and beyond, is she sick? Terminal sickness? She looks healthy enough to me, maybe a bit tired of all those chaos yesterday and our future.

If Gieanne needs money, she knew she can directly ask me for it, especially if for cure sick members in the family with no strings attached. I can glimpse from her characters, how strongly she feels towards her family. Sadly this time, she just leaves me with many unanswered questions.

My thoughts have been scattered when I feel the warmth radiating my right thigh. I look down and a pair of small hand was shaking my thick thigh. Traveling up, I met with a pair of big eyes that can drown the whole of me if I staring for too long. But not today, those darks of orbs were frantically giving signals to my left side.

Only then I was fully aware of the reasons for disturbance rippling in the dark lake that reside in her eyes.
