"You guys share rooms?" Jaxon asked so we nodded. "That explains why." He added but didn't finish his sentence.
"They've been used to it since they're kids." Tita said to him. "Anyways, what do you prefer, Pia? Do you want your own room or do you want to share with Jaxon?"
"Jaxon and I will just share a room, tita." Pia answered tita then looked at me like she's asking for help which made me chuckle.
"Be used to it. You'll be here more often." I said to Pia then looked at Wyatt. "I'll go change my clothes." I said to him then excused myself to them.
I just changed my clothes and got him a new shirt before going back to them. "You're wearing the shirt I gifted Chase on his birthday." Jaxon said which made me look down at the shirt I'm wearing then look at Wyatt who's chuckling.
"She just grabbed it in my closet then wore it, don't mind her." Wyatt said to Jaxon then snatched the shirt in my hand. "Thank you, Gracie."
"You're welcome, Wyatt." I said to him then sat beside Pia. "Do you drink?"
"Yeah. How about you?" She asked so I nodded. "Take a shot."
"I can't. Wyatt will be mad." I said and pouted. "I only drink when he's not around."
"Should I leave, Gracie?" Wyatt asked and chuckled. "I'll allow you this time because we're at our house." He said which made me look at him for confirmation and he nodded and smiled.
"Give the shot glass to me." I said and they laughed but they did give it to me which I drank. And it feels like I made a wrong decision because it's so strong.
"I'll go get a wine." Wyatt said and chuckled before standing up and walking away and when he came back he's holding a bottle of wine and a wine glass. "Drink this. You won't be able to attend class if you drink what we're drinking." He said as he put the wine glass in front of me and poured wine on it.
"Ang sweet mo naman, Chase. Ako nga rin salinan mo." Jaxon said, which made me laugh. "Should I pour you a drink too, Pia?"
"No, Jaxon." Pia answered him and laughed. We drank until Wyatt told me to stop. "Stop deciding on Reese, Chase."
"Let him, Pia. And besides, I already have enough drinks." I said to her and looked at Wyatt. "You should stop drinking too, Wyatt. We have a class tomorrow."
"Wyatt allowed you to drink? This is new." I heard Tito's voice behind me which made me look at him. "You'll be staying, Reese?"
"Yes, tito. Tita told me to stay." I answered him and he asked where I'm going to sleep. "At Wyatt's room like the usual, tito."
"Alright, Reese." Tito said to me then looked at Wyatt. "I trust you enough, Chastille. Don't do anything stupid."
"I promise, dad." Wyatt said and even raised his hand which made me chuckle. "I won't do anything to Gracie, dad. She'll be mad at me. I can't afford that." He added, which made me laugh.
Tito was laughing as he walked away while I stood up and went to Wyatt. "Drink water before going upstairs alright? I'll go first." I said to him then bid them goodbye.
It wasn't long since I went to Wyatt's room and he also went to his room and slept beside me.
"Reese, wake up." I heard Pia's voice which made me open my eyes. How did she enter? "We're going to eat."
"Alright. I'll just wake Wyatt up." I said and tried to wake him up but all he did was to press his face on my neck. "Someone is looking for me, Wyatt. He said he'll court me." I said and he immediately opened his eyes which made me chuckle. "Kidding. We're going to eat."
"Can we eat later? I'm still sleepy." He then covered himself with the comforter. "I love you, Gracie."
"I what?" Pia asked in shock, while Wyatt removed the comforter in his face then looked around.
"Why are you here?" He asked Pia which made me chuckle. "Did she hear it?" He asked me so I nodded. "I'm sorry."
"For what? Parang hindi naman ako sanay sa 'I love you' mo." I said and chuckled. "Bangon na, Wyatt. Kain na tayo."
A month had passed but our relationship was kept secret. "Mom, Graciella and I will go somewhere." Wyatt said to tita as he started dragging me. He's so energetic.
"No, no, stop right there." Tita said which made the both of us stop and went back to them. "Sit down. We need to talk to the two of you."
"Why did you book a hotel with your mom's credit card, Chastille?" Tito said, which made me look at Wyatt. Did he book the hotel I told him I wanted to go to because of the pool? "Who are you going with?"
"Are you going with Reese?" Dad asked and Wyatt nodded. "What are you guys going to do in a hotel? You guys are just teens."
"We do want you guys together but not like this." Mom said, which made me sighed.
"I guess your surprise is ruined?" I asked Wyatt and he nodded. "That's fine. At least we can still try their pool."
"You're right, we can still try to pool so you'll still enjoy it." He said and sighed. "Can we go to the hotel and let Gracie enjoy the pool? She really wanted to go there 2 weeks ago."
"Then you guys should've told us! We're going with you guys." Tita said and Wyatt sighed. "You don't want us to go with you?"
"It's fine, tita. You guys should get ready. Please just call us in Wyatt's room." I said and started to drag Wyatt to his room. He looks irritated and sad. "Don't be sad, love. We can still enjoy it even if they're there." I said as I hugged him.
"It's just so irritating since I said this to mom before I even booked the hotel." He said which made me chuckle. "Love, I'm ranting and you're chuckling? Do you really love me?"
"Do I love my Wyatt?" I asked and he nodded. "You're asking when you already know the answer. I love you, love." I said and kissed his neck since I can't reach his lips or even his chin. He's so tall!
"I think I need to buy you heels rather than sneakers so you can reach my face." He said and chuckled, while I slapped his chest. "I love you so much, love." He said and kissed the top of my head.
We stayed in his room until our parents called us then we went to the hotel. We enjoyed the pool and the jacuzzi before going back to our room. "We're going back to our room and then take a rest, mom, tita." I said to them and they nodded.
Wyatt let me use the bathroom first then he used it after me. When he went out of the bathroom I was already laying on our bed. "Looks like my girlfriend got really tired from swimming." He said as he lay beside me. "You really enjoyed today so I'm happy." He then kissed me. "I love you, love."
"I love you, Wyatt." I said and yawned. "Let's take a rest, love." I said and hugged him. I pressed my face on his chest and closed my eyes.
Since it's vacation already, Wyatt and I go out a lot. "You guys weren't like this last year. Araw-araw na alis nyo ngayon ha." Mom said which made me and Wyatt stop walking.
"This is the 2nd week. So tell us what's really going on. Are you guys together? Like in a relationship? You guys aren't like this." Tita said so I look at Wyatt who's already looking at me.
"Mom, we're going to meet my friends. It's not like we're going out for a date." Wyatt said to tita and I nodded.
"So you're telling us that you and Reese are meeting with your friends for 2 weeks straight?" Mom said so I shook my head. "Then what are you guys doing?"
"We watch movies, eat outside, and play at the arcade. Just enjoying the vacation." I answered her and mom and tita looked at each other.
"Tell us the truth, we won't be mad. Are you guys together?" Tita asked and Wyatt chuckled.
"We're bff premium. Bye." He said and started dragging me as I laughed. "2 more weeks and we don't need to hide anymore." He said when we got in his car.
"Yeah. I'm sorry that you're waiting this long." I said and he just chuckled and held my hand then drove. "I love you, Wyatt. Thank you for always understanding me."
"Anything for you, love." He said and then we heard Chelsie mimicking him which made the two of us look at the back seat. "Chels, Isa. What are you guys doing here?" Wyatt asked them as he looked at the road again.
"We want to hang out with Ate." Isa said and Chelsie agreed with her. "But since you don't want it, Kuya. We'll just go with you."
"Try to return to our house and our parents will know about your relationship." Chelsie said to Wyatt which made me slap my forehead. "If you successfully fooled them that you're talking to your girlfriend that time and not Ate Reese, you cannot fool them today because they're already suspicious about the relationship between the two of you."
"Chels ang dami mong sinabi." Isa said which made me chuckle. "Wag kang tumawa ate hindi ka ligtas. I might tell mom and dad about this."
"Go ahead and I'll tell them you guys have a boyfriend." I said and Chelsie called me while I covered my mouth as I looked at Wyatt who's driving to the side of the road. "It slipped, I'm sorry."
"You guys have a boyfriend? Who is it? Call them and tell him that I'm meeting them." Wyatt said when he stopped the car on the side of the road which made me chuckle. "Graciella, we'll talk about this later. And the two of you should call your boyfriends and tell them that I'm meeting them or else this will get to our parents."
"Kuya naman." Chelsie said and tried to argue with Wyatt but in the end they didn't win and let us meet their boyfriends. Wyatt was so serious throughout the talk.
"Love, can't you smile? You're so serious." I whispered to him but he didn't budge. "Wyatt. How can we enjoy the coffee if you're that serious? Look at them. My sister and yours are nervous. Stop it."
"Chase." I heard a familiar voice called him which made me look around to see Mitchel.
"Love, my only advice to you is please don't pass it to your and my sister's boyfriends." I whispered to him and he nodded. "We meet again, Mitchel."
"You're substituting for his girlfriend again?" She said to me so I shook my head. "I thought you are because his girlfriend is not available again."
"What is she saying, Kuya? What does she mean about Ate being a substitute because your girlfriend is not available?" Chelsie asked, which made me sighed.
"You settled for that, Ate? Isusumbong ko kayo kay mommy." Isa said which made me raise my eyebrow at her.
"Leave us alone, Mitchel." Wyatt said to him and she did leave. "Should I explain to them, love?" He asked so I nodded and he explained.
We hung out with them for a while. "Kuya, don't tell this to our parents alright? You keep my secret and I'll keep yours." Chelsie said to him and he nodded.
"I'll say it on your Ate Reese's birthday. Prepare for it, Chels." Wyatt said and chuckled. "We'll get going."
After we hung out with them we went to Jaxon's condo and hung out with his friends. "You should get a condo here too, Chase. Mas malapit sa university so less hassle." Jaxon said to him and Wyatt did agree.
He talked to tita about it and we got home and my mom asked if I wanted a condo too but I said no.
