Chapter 5 flirt with men

Chapter 5

I went out for a while because my cellphone rang... Mommy called.

"Yes, Mommy. Yes. I'm fine. Ah, Marco. Yes. He's nice... I just made the mistake of knowing him. It's fine, I'll go home too. I won't stay late. Yes. Alright, Mommy . Love you."

I put my cellphone in the bag. I was even surprised when someone spoke. I turned around. He was the guy who was next to Marco earlier.

"Seven. Right?" frowned when asked.

I swallowed saliva. It looks like anger. "Yes. Right."

"I heard the conversation between you and your Mommy, you seem like a kind Son and you're also a bit different from other Women."

"Po? What do you mean?"

It laughed a little. "You act like a man and it's natural to you. So I won't be surprised why Marco likes you. Can you keep a secret?"

"Is it a secret?"

"Yes. About Marco."

"W-what about him?"

It smiled. "You were right when you said that my Son is kind."

"son? I know that Marco's Daddy and Mommy are quite old."

"You know, Seven, there are so many things that are really surprising. I was 16 years old when Agnes gave birth to Marco. Agnes was only 15 and we were really young. My parents don't like her because Agnes is poor... Something is planned because Celina is mine. They kept Agnes away from me and Marco was supposed to do the same but I begged because he is my son and in the end they just let Marco out as their son to avoid shame on our family. Marco grew up I'm recognized as Big Brother. And that hurts me because I'm his Father. That's why what happened to him is so painful that just because of a woman he doesn't have a relationship with, his life will be in exchange. Do you understand me. Seven."

I just nodded. I can't think of anything to defend because he is right.

"Keep our secret Seven. If possible, don't touch Ky Marco. You won't do my son any good. It's okay to meet at School but don't approach him. If this happens again. I'm going to transfer my son's school. Do we understand each other."

I slowly nodded.

"You can leave now."

"Can I say goodbye to Marco first?"

"No. It's up to me to make excuses. He doesn't need you." then he turned and walked into Marco's room.

I understood everything he said. I suddenly rubbed my eyes because I couldn't stop crying... He was right, I was the reason why Marco was in the hospital.

I first looked at the closed door of Marco's room.

"Sorry... Marco...". then I walked. I'm going home... maybe I'll let out all my tears at my house....

I booked a Grab. I also waited for a few minutes in front of Cruord Medical Hospital.

I started crying but I just held it back because it was embarrassing for so many people. A Black Toyota Vios stopped and the driver got out and asked if I was Seven... then I got in the back. The depth of my thoughts. It's like Marco's Papa blames me...I didn't want him to be like that...but he has a point that I'm the reason why Marco is in the Hospital. But I didn't like that.

The Journey is only for while so I'll be home soon. I went straight to my room. I ignored Mommy when she called me. As long as I go upstairs... I know they will follow me.

I lay down on my bed and then I cried freely... It's just painful... I don't know which of the two is what her Papa said or the reality that I can't even approach or talk to her.

I took something from my drawer. I actually bought that box to put the Origami that Marco gave me. His works are more beautiful than Rubioz's... maybe because he wants to make me happy that's why it's so beautiful. The folding is perfect and the workmanship is very clean. His personality is pure.

I was holding the box when I heard Daddy.

"You want to talk. Son? Who do you want to talk to me or your Dad?". Daddy laughed at what he said.

"You, Daddy. Papa is busy, right? I can't talk to him while he's operating, maybe his patient can stay the night.". Dad and I laughed together.

Daddy sat on the other end of my bed. "You used to be small...and very ugly! But even though you are ugly, we love you very much.... I thought you were just a child forever."

I frowned. "What do you mean Daddy?"

Dad smiled and pointed to his own chest. "Love. Son.... I thought you couldn't fall in love. And I know it's hard, your Mommy and I went through that too, but look we are still together."

I put my Little Treasures back inside the drawer. Then I hugged my Daddy.

"Thank you for everything Daddy... you're always here when I needed you most. I'm so lucky to be your adopted Daughter."

"Ssshhhh....you are my Daughter Seven. Always remember that. And what ever happens I am just right here and also your Papa Seb. It will make you angry when you forget him. And you will always remember that no matter what you went through today. .. choose what you think is good for everyone. And when you can't do it anymore don't worry your Daddy will save the day."

Then Dad came out of my room. I feel better there. Dad is right, I know what I should do.

I know what I should do.... Lord help me please.

Marco is doing well. He entered school again. I don't even see Rubioz anymore...they said he dropped out. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that... no one else knew what really happened The night Marco had a trip. He really kept it a secret.

"Sister? You're an idiot. Lorie has been talking to you for a while.". Hunter shook my shoulder.

Time to go home. I'm sure the Twins are on the School Bus. Lorie is the only one who has her own pick-up, of course she is only the daughter of a Billionaire. It's good that he can't be poor like the others, so he can't be chosen among his friends as well as his Boyfriend and-----

"Seven! Just a second!" I looked at it. It's Marco. Ran to me.

It's still panting. "We have a game tomorrow at Savior's International School in Pasay. If you don't have anything to do tomorrow, you can watch. If you want, you can ride our bus."

I just stared at Marco's face, which still has scars. I smiled but I can't...I don't want him to change schools.

"I'm sorry because I have an art project to do tomorrow. Maybe on another day."

His facial expression suddenly changed. "Is that so. Okay Alright. Are you going home?"

I nodded.

"Maybe I can even take you to the School Bus. Because it looks like you don't want to ride my Bike anymore." Marco said with a little laugh.

I just laughed. Marco and I walked in silence. I don't want to tell him anything. I still remember that he used to trip me...that's why he does it because he likes me. I also had a crush on him even then because he was good at playing basketball. It's because he's bullying me. He's still yelling on campus that I'm a tomboy that's why I have a boy's haircut. My God, I'm a tomboy! Finally we are close to the School Bus. My awkward moment is over!

"Ummph. Are you avoiding me?"

I was stunned by Marco's question. My grip on the strap of my Backpack bag tightened.

"I feel it because of Seven. I was only in the hospital for a week, right? Then I thought we were going to be friends...what is it, Seven... Is there a problem?"

I just shook my head.

"If there's nothing, why are you so quiet? Then I'm more used to you yelling at me or chasing me with a broomstick when you're pissed off.why are you so quiet....did I do something wrong? Is it Rubioz?"

I just shook my head again.

He sighed. "Okay. I like you Seven a lot. If you're blaming yourself because I'm like this, then you don't have to worry because I'm fine. Pay attention to me please."

"The bus will leave me. Alright Marco, I'll go first.". I hurriedly walked towards our School Bus without looking at him. I sat next to the twins.

The bus has started. I saw Marco walking. He confessed to me that he likes me... how about that...

"Sister, are you okay?" Winter woke me up from my silence.

"What are you doing Winter, you saw Ate sad. Of course not." I laughed at both. Andro and Rei even joined in our teasing.

"Marco said he was in your room a while ago. He's about to eat. Mommy is worried. Open the door now."

"I'll eat later, Brother. I'm still doing something." I locked the door so there would be no disturbance in what I was doing.

"Okay. It seems like what you're doing is important. I'll just say it."

"Thank you Brother!"

Because I fold Origami but not animals but flowers. After all, I told Seven that I like her so I'm going to start courting her!

we just finished eating. I am the one who washes the food we ate.

"Are you okay Son?" I turned to Mommy. "Would you like to have girl talk?"

"Is it possible?"

"Sure. What is that about?"

I only smiled a little at Mommy.

"I think I know! My Seven has a crush." Mommy was still thrilled while wiping the dishes that I had already washed.

I just smile. Then rinse again. I don't want to talk about Marco first.

"Mommy how did you have a crush on Daddy?"

"You know Son. We don't need a reason why we crush on someone. They say crush is admiration...but for me it depends on the situation like mine and your Daddy Peter. I crush on him a lot.. . just to see even just her hair makes my day complete. But the longer we spend together, the deeper my simple crush on her grows... I'm just lucky because she caught me when I was already in love with her."

"It's like that. It's also like love."

"Yes, son. But usually the desire of a crush is purer than love. Because in love you can get hurt, you will experience everything. You will learn how to handle it. Then in love, because that's where the word cheater comes in. No matter how much someone loves you, they can trick you or exchange for others."

"Why Mommy?". wrinkle when I asked here.

Mommy smiled. "Because Son, you have no idea how beautiful a flirtatious woman is, even if they are ugly when they flirt with men, they will give and give. That's why you rarely see a sane man, so when you see one, Son, put it in your pocket immediately! "

I laughed at what Mommy said. But he has a reason. I think Marco is kind.... but it's not possible.

"Huh? I'm sorry, I'm just thinking about something." we went to the cafeteria and ate our lunch. It's good that there are no colleges yet. "What's that Lorie?"

"I'll just teach Sister Seven how to answer it. It's hard because even Andro doesn't know." it said softly.

I laughed at what he said because Andro blushed at his disappointment. I'm jealous of those two. They are still young but both of them are already legal with their parents. Lorie is a beautiful girl, she inherited from Tita Luna... Lorie's eyes are also different because Tito Diemoon has a race, so maybe her eyes are blue.

I took his notebook. "Oh my! It looks like I was asleep when that was pointed out or maybe I was absent."

Hunter, Winter, Rei and Andro laughed.

Lorie snorted but she's not angry no matter what angle she's really beautiful that's why many flirt with her but they're all busted because she already has Andro.

"Let me see." man, we both turned to the person who spoke. It's Marco.

He still has some scars. He sat next to Rei then took Lorie's notebook.

"Ah. It's easy. Wait, do you have a pencil? Borrow it."

Lorie stood up and took a position behind Marco. "Here it is, Brother."

"Okay. It's just like this. You should multiply it here first when you get the answer, then divide it by its numerator. Then that's the answer."

Lorie was still clapping for joy. "Wow thank you Brother! Sister is lucky because her Boyfriend is kind and good at Math!"

We just laughed at what Lorie said so that Andro was just as embarrassed.

"Lorie...you know I'm bad at Math. I'm sorry." Andro whine.

Lorie squeezed both of his cheeks. "It's okay. Even if you're not good at Math. I still love you!"

Marco just shook his head. While the three go ahead and bang on Andro. It's really funny that they have Puppy love. Many men are jealous of Andro because one of the most beautiful women on campus is his girlfriend.

He already rang the bell. They were ahead.

"Seven. Just a moment." Marco stopped me. "Can I drop you off later?"

"Huh?" I like that idea because I thought about what his real Papa and I talked about. So... "I'm sorry Marco, it's another day. I'll be first, maybe I'll be late for my next subject."

He was still smiling. He didn't even know what happened. Sorry. This is better than transferring you to another school.
