Take Me To Your Heart -Chapter 12-

ANTHONY didn't make himself walk out; he just sat down. 
"I'm ready, so are you ready too, Miss Pretty?"
Orcel was surprised that he called her pretty. She didn't answer him right away. 
"Aunt Orcel, Dad said, are you ready?"
"Huh? Sure!"
"Yes, I'm on Aunt Orcel's side, and you, brother Nick, whose are you?"
"Of course, I'm on the daddy side."
"Game now, Dad, Aunt Orcel!" the kids shouted. 
The father of the siblings has already dove into the water. 
"Let's start now. I will count now. One, two, three. Go, Aunty Orcel. Don't lose to Daddy!" Nicole shouted.
"Daddy, you should beat Aunt Orcel," the boy shouted too. 
While Orcel and the children's father were competing, Anthony could only look at them. 
"Yes, his brother was right, now that they're together like a happy family," Anthony said. Even more, his niece and nephew had fun while cheering on the two as they competed. 
"Aunt Orcel, you can beat Daddy! Go-Go-Go. You can do it, Aunt!" Nicole shouted again and again the same with her brother. 
Anthony smiled; his niece and nephew were very happy. 
"Aunt Orcel, it's almost here; hurry up, woah!" Nicole shouted again. 
Orcel was happy, not because of Nicole but because Anthony had been looking at her earlier. 
When the two got a little closer to the end of the swimming pool, the siblings screamed. But Orcel touched the cement first. 
"Yes, yes, yes. Aunt Orcel, you win. Daddy is a loser," said the siblings, making Orcel and Rafael laugh. 
Anthony felt jealous at what he saw, and something seemed to pierce his heart as he saw the two laughing. 
Orcel looked at Anthony and saw the reaction on his face. 
'Why does he look at that like he's jealous?Hmmm, could he be jealous?' Her heart trembled at the thought, and a smile appeared on her lips. 
Nicole's father was looking at her."Why are you smiling, pretty lady?"
"Huh? I just saw something, sir; don't call me a pretty lady; it's embarrassing, sir; just call me by my name."
"Okay, I'll call your name, but you're also not to call me sir; just call me Rafael."
"Alright, Rafael"
"Hmmm, sounds good, right, pretty Orcel?"
"Rafael, just say it, Orcel," she said shyly. 
"It's true that you are pretty; even my children can see that!"
Orcel blushed at what Rafael said. 
"You are blushing pretty, Orcel; you are even more pretty or beautiful."
Orcel was very pleasant about what Rafael said. For her, there is nothing to push like siblings. but in her mind. I hope it's that grumpy man who tells her she's a pretty lady, then she'll drown in excitement. 
"Hey! You're quiet all of a sudden, pretty Orcel," Rafael teased the girl. 
"Huh. Thanks for the compliment, Rafael," she simply said. 
"Don't say thank you because it's true, pretty Orcel."
Orcel smiled sweetly, and Anthony could clearly see the woman's sweet smile even though it wasn't for him. His heart jumped. 
Anthony cursed quietly. Damn it! That woman makes his heart flutter. 
"Oh, stop swimming, let's eat first," said Don Martin. 
"Yes, Grandpa, I'm hungry too." Nicole said. 
"Me too, I'm hungry," Nick said. 
"Aunt Orcel, Daddy, come, let's eat first; then we'll continue to swim later."
"Okay, your aunt Orcel and I will be next, Nicole." Rafael's response to his daughter
The two children ran to where Anthony was sitting. 
"Come on, pretty Orcel."
"Ah, Rafael. "Can you just say, Orcel, I think I'm not pretty at all."
Rafael just smile what the woman said, "Okay, you wish Orcel, let go; I'm also hungry; you're really good at swimming; but if Anthony competes, you can't win because he's also a swimmer."
"Really?"
"Yes, he was always the top one if there was a contest."
Orcel just nodded at what she heard. "Okay, let's go."
Rafael went up first. He reached out his hand to the girl to get up quickly. 
Anthony didn't even admit that made him upset because he saw how sweet the two were. 
When the two approached the table, the Don noticed what Orcel was wearing. 
"Don't you have bathing suits, Orcel—I mean swimsuits?" asked the Don. 
"Oh, sir, nothing; I'm used to wearing those."
"Oh, I see."
"Uncle, can you buy Aunt Orcel a swimsuit so she can wear it the next time she teaches us?" Nicole replied. 
"Sure, what is your body size, Miss Casino?" Anthony will not hesitate. 
"Huh? Thanks but no I'm comfortable wearing this."
"Maybe you're hiding a lot of one peso coins so you don't want to wear a swimsuit or shorts?"
because Orcel is wearing knee-length shorts. 
Orcel's eyes widened because of what Anthony told him. 
He was about to defy her, but he was embarrassed because the Don was in front of them. 
This grumpy man has a thick face; maybe when he sees my body, he will spit in his eyes and his saliva will drip. 
Anthony smiled because Orcel didn't answer. 
Orcel exactly looked at him; she saw his smile, and she widen her eyes at the man. 
A mischievous smile appeared on Anthony's lips. 
Orcel was annoyed when he saw how nice it was to punish him with a kiss like he did to her earlier. When will that happen again? Does she need to repeat trespassing in his room again? 
"Oh, are we just going to steer or are we going to eat?" said their father. 
"Grandpa, I've been hungry for a while now."
"Okay, Nicole. You and your brother can start eating now. Anthony said. 
"Alright, Uncle, Grandpa, Daddy, Aunt Orcel, let's eat."
"Alright, sweetie, you and your brother go first. You orcel, do you want to eat rice or pasta?" Rafael asked her. 
Orcel thought Rafael was kind because he asked her what she wanted to eat, not like his brother. Maybe he's not a sweet person; what did she expect? He's stuck, isn't he? 
Because of his brother's attention to the girl, he felt more jealous, so he immediately said goodbye to them."Leave you for now."
"Son, you haven't eaten yet?"
"I don't feel like eating now, Dad. I'll go back to sleep because there was a disturbance earlier!" He looked at Orcel. 
Orcel bowed down, lest he say that he kissed her.
