Chapter 17 - Chapter 16

All Souls Day

Xav-

AS OF NOW, we are currently fixing our things and essentials that we will be needing. I am so excited and the reason for that is I can now able to see Quart again after so many days. Since the teasing and shipping session of my family and friends with Sniper, I tried my best to forget those kinds of stuff, I also try to always keep thinking Quart just to forget those. There is this certain idea that Is popping out of my mind and kept on saying that I might fall in love with Sniper. Argh

I assisted Xivian as I properly intact his seatbelt and tapped his cheeks. That made him giggle in joy. My brother volunteered to fix our things in his car trunk that is why me and my mom already made our move to enter his car, she entered the passenger seat beside Xivian and I took the shotgun seat beside my ugly brother. After everything is settled, we made our way to our desired destination. My smile is bigger than usual not just because I will be able to see and visit my grandfather but to see Quart again. Now, excitement is invading me

After a couple of minutes, we arrived safely. I assisted Xivian on his way to the tent, by the way, the tent is already built up there since Quart and my brother already fixed and settled that up yesterday. We just walked slowly since it's slippery everywhere. 

"Oh my Xavrina, there you are, I miss you so much" Auntie Queenie shouted that catches a few people's attention. She held Xivian's arms and I slowly followed them. I helped Xivian to remove his dirty and muddy shoes and he instantly went to Quenty to play. I glance at Quart who is resting inside the small tent beside the big tent of course. His hands were covering his eyes to avoid sunlight.

After I helped Xivian, I instantly went back to the car to grab some of our things to help my mom and brother. If you're asking or thinking about where my dad is. Well, he is on a business trip along with Quart's father. I was on my way back to the tent when a gorgeous, skinny, and tall girl went beside Auntie Queenie and talked a little. Her face looks so familiar 

"Qien, where have you been?" Auntie Queenie asked, I am just staring at them as they continue to talk, while grabbing and helping, I kept on thinking where did I saw this gorgeous girl? Since I failed, I just stopped thinking about those.

When everything was fine and settled, I immediately went beside Quart and stared at his handsome face that is covered by his arms. His reddish and small lips are all I can see. And that made me smiled

"SIS!" I heard someone shouted and I saw my 2 pretty best friends making their way towards our tent. Argh! Up until now, I can still hear their voice and see their faces. I just sign and signaled them to shut up because they might wake Quart up.

"Hi Auntie" they greeted my mom and Quart's mom and as a sign of their reply, my mom just nodded so as Auntie Queenie. They sat beside me. I just didn't bother to look at them, instead, I stared at Quart's beautiful face and gently caress his hair. I hope he won't wake up

"Why do the both of you are here?" i asked, their tents or place is so far from where we are right now.

"Nah! Stop asking. We just wanted to visit you and also to greet your mom as well. Celebrating All Souls Day again with Quart's family huh?" Vina said and i just looked at her or should i say, i am glaring right now.

"Well, the real reason is, we wanted to inform you that we will invite you later in the afternoon, near the church for some foodtrip. There are a lot of different kinds of street food stalls around there" Bianxi said as she plays with tent's zipper. I just nodded when Quart moved. He immediately saw me and glared at me

"Raven dear, these 2 kids wants that balloon over there. Can you buy them some?" Auntie Queenie said or requested and Quart immediately followed her orders. He stood up and made his way, i was about to follow him when i almost slipped because of the heavy loads of wet mud. Thank God, he catched me.

"STUPID!" the worries were plastered on his face while he holds my arms tightly. When i able to stand up properly, he let me go and walked again to the guy who sells the balloons. So, basically i am now bowing to hide my blushing face.

"Choose" he said, this is the first time where he talked to me so calm. That's why i instantly looked up and pick a balloon for Xivian.

"Ahm i'll chose the iron man then" i stuttered while i said those words. I was about to pull out my wallet when he already paid for it. He accepted the change so as his sister's balloon as well. I clearly remember when we were both young, we always bought balloons every all souls day. We just made our way back

"Ahm Xav, your 2 friends by the way, they already went back to their places" i just nodded. Xivian and Quency yelled at the moment they saw the balloons. I just smiled and find them cute. They also hugged and thanked Quart and that made Quart smile a little. This is one of the times when i see him smile. He is so handsome. When he smiles, his eyes narrowed because of his cheeks. The cheeks that i wanted to pinch the most

My heart was pounding so fast. I really fell in love with this man. Jeez, i just entered the mini tent and drank a water. And take note, i was on the farthest corner of the tent, i don't want him to see me blushing. I was shocked when he entered as well that's why i looked at him with a 'what-are-you-doing-here' look

"I'll sleep, it's my place" oh that's right. This is where he sleeps. Why is he so kinds all of a sudden. It's like, he is just glaring at me a few minutes earlier and then now, he is talking to me without getting angry. I was about to exit the area when he pulled me that me me sit again and the next thing he did made me flinched and blush. He lied down using my thighs as his pillow. Now i can see his face so clearly.

Omo! I think my heart wants to escape. His actions today made me cry, it's the first time where he act like this infront of me. He just wiped my tears away that made me cry more.

"Stop crying" he said and kissed my forehead. He sat and hugged me. I wish it could last.

••••

I prepared his food and i gave it to him. He smiled a bit and i smiled back. It's lunch time. I saw my older brother glancing on the girl named Qien. What a playboy. We just finished praying the rosary. I still don't know if we are now in good terms or what but I'm still happy.

"Sis, i want a hotdog" using her fork, i get her a hotdog and she just smiled

"Let's walk together later" he said while looking at me but glancing to Auntie Queenie as well, when Auntie Queenie saw me looking at her, she just smiled. I just nodded and eat. After a few minutes when the both of us are already done. He pulled me up and before we leave the area, he looked at Auntie Queenie and we left. What's happening? My mom even gave me a teasing. So who do she really likes? Sniper or Quart?

Eyes were on us or should i say, were on him as we looked around the cemetery. Girls were literally looking at him as we walk and i am here, being pulled, looking like a family server. After a few steps we reach the church. It's si beautiful

It was much more beautiful than before, it was renovated. I was so shocked when he intertwined our fingers and walked together. Why is he like this? It was not it was use before. I just held his hands tightly, thinking to never let go

I can feel his wind afterall
