"Love, we're leaving." I said to Wyatt as I helped him stand up. We're going to El nido. Our parents, grandparents, and sisters are already there so it's only Pia and his friends who will be flying with us. "And one thing. Your friends are already in the living room."
"Really? Let's go." He said then put his arm on my shoulder. When we got to the living room Wyatt didn't even sit and we went straight to the van that will bring us to the airport. "I can't wait to be there." He said which made me chuckle.
"Halata nga. Why are you so excited anyways?" I asked and he just shook his head. "Pia, did you bring a swimsuit?"
"Yeah, I did. Why?" She asked so I shook my head and answered 'nothing'. "How about you? Did you bring a swimsuit with you?"
"I did but I probably won't wear it." I said and chuckled, while Wyatt hugged me and pressed his face on my neck. "This person is so annoying. That's why I won't wear it." I said as I pointed at Wyatt.
"I didn't say that you couldn't wear your swimsuit. Kung hindi mo rin naman pala susuotin sana hindi mo na lang dinala." Wyatt said which made me chuckle. "And stop pointing at me. I always allow you to wear what you want."
"Just whenever you're around." I added to his sentence and chuckled. "I'm turning 18 next week so I can do what I want without saying it to you."
"Do it and we'll see what will happen." He said which made me sighed because I feel like he's threatening me. "I'm not just your bestfriend now, Graciella. So at least say what you will do and you can disobey me."
"You guys are not just best friends anymore?" Bry asked curiously, which made me look at him.
"She's my sister now." Wyatt answered him so I flicked his forehead. "Here we go again with you and your love language." He said and chuckled.
"I can settle just being your sister, Wyatt. I can break up with you." I whispered jokingly.
"She'll turn 18 next week so you'll start dating when we come back?" Jerome asked him and Wyatt coughed, while I chuckled.
"No. I'm already dating someone." Wyatt answered him so I looked back to see their shock reactions that made me laugh. "You guys didn't see this coming aren't you?"
"Are you joking? Bro, you're with Reese the whole time." Gavin said to him. "Who is it?"
"You have a girlfriend yet you sleep in your room alone with Reese?" Pia asked, then looked at me. "Are you his girlfriend?"
"Am I? We'll find out about it soon." I answered her then looked at Wyatt. "Is your girlfriend coming?"
"We'll find out about it soon." Wyatt answered and chuckled.
When we arrived at the airport we waited for our flight then we flew to El nido. And when we opened the door a Bichon Frisé dog greeted us. "Oh my gosh! Who's dog is this?" I asked as Wyatt got my hand bag from me then I carried the dog. "Why is there a dog here?"
"Meet Wyacie. She's yours." Wyatt said which made my eyebrow arched. "What's wrong?"
"Did you just name a dog with our name combined?" I asked and he laughed. "You can pick a better name, Chastille but since this is your gift I'll accept the name. Thank you." I said and kissed his cheeks.
"You're dating someone yet you let Reese kiss you on the cheeks." Kelvin said to him but I didn't really care and just walked to the living room and played with the dog.
"Reese. Do you want to go to your room and get a rest?" Tita asked so I shook my head. "Play with your dog in your room, Reese."
"Let's go, Gracie. I'll bring you to your room." Wyatt said so I don't have a choice but to go to my room. "Where's your things?" I asked Wyatt when we arrived at my room.
"It's in my room and my room is far from here." He answered me and rolled his eyes. "I guess I will sneak out later." He said which made me chuckle.
"I can sneak out with Wyacie to your room later. Let's sleep together." I said and he chuckled. "Wyacie, do you want to sleep with me and Wyatt?" I asked the dog as I kept on playing with it.
"Are you sure you want to sneak out? You know that I can sneak out for you." He said so I nodded. "Then don't get caught. I'll be waiting for you later." He said then yawned.
"Go sleep, Wyatt." I said and tapped my bed. "You should rest and I'll just play with Wyacie."
We enjoyed the whole day and when the night came I checked the hallway before going out of my room while carrying Wyacie. I'm walking carefully as I walk past my parents bedroom.
"Where are you going, Ate?" I heard Isa said which made me startled. "Sneaking out to go to Kuya's room?"
"Yes. Please don't say this to anyone. Bye." I said and ran to Wyatt's room. When I entered his room I was catching my breaths.
"What happened, love?" Wyatt asked as I walked to his bed and sat down. "Drink water." He said and gave me bottled water then got Wyacie in my arms. "Did someone see you?"
"My sister saw me but it's fine. I already talked to her." I answered him and drank the water. I was about to lay on his bed when we heard a knock. "Open your door, love."
"Alright. Stay there." He said and kissed my head before walking to the door and opened it. "What is it, mom, tita?"
"Can we come in?" I heard mom asked and Wyatt quickly refused. "Then tell Reese to come out." Mom said and Wyatt looked at me so I nodded and he opened the door then walked towards me.
"We placed you on the other side of the house so that you guys won't do this but here we go. Your friend said you have a girlfriend, Wyatt but why do you keep on letting Reese spend the night with you?" Tita said which made me look at Wyatt who closed his eyes.
"Old habits die hard, mom. Besides, Riella is cool with this so it's not a problem." He said which made my eyes widen. "Anyway, she'll be here on Gracie's birthday."
"Fine. This would be the last." Tita said and looked at me. "No more sneaking out, Reese."
"Wag kang papayag Ate. Bukas ulit." Chelsie said which made me chuckle. "Let them be, mom. They aren't doing anything so it's fine."
"What? So we need to wait for them to do something before stopping them?" Mom asked Chelsie and she shook his head.
"Tita. Aren't they in an arranged marriage? Won't this be good if Kuya doesn't have a girlfriend and Ate Reese and him are this close? They won't have a problem settling in." Chelsie said, which made me shocked and then looked at them. "Mom, it's just an accident!" Chelsie said as she ran away.
"Mom, tita, what is she saying?" I asked them and they looked at each other and sighed. "I just want confirmation."
"She's telling the truth. You guys are going to get married at the right time because your grandparents said so but if you guys don't want it we can fight for it." Mom answered which made me look at Wyatt.
"You heard mom, Wyatt?" I asked him and he nodded. "Go break up with your girlfriend and be with me instead."
"Graciella Reese!" Mom called me which made me laugh. "I didn't raise you like this!"
"Ma, it's fine." I said and looked at Wyatt who's moving to my side. "It's fine right Wyatt?"
"Wag kang pumayag, tita. Hindi matutuloy ang kasal nila pag pumayag ka." Isa suddenly appear in the back of them.
"Your Kuya Chase is already planning to marry his girlfriend Riella?" Tita asked, which made me chuckle as Isa looked at us.
"Who's Riella, mom?" Chelsie asked but her eyes lit up and looked at me. "You mean Ate Reese? Reese plus Graciella is equal to Riella."
"Chelsie!" Wyatt called her and her face suddenly darkened. "Mom, Chelsie and Isa have a boyfriend."
"Kuya, bakit pati naman ako nadamay?" Isa asked him, which made me laughed. "Anyways, let them be, tita, mom. Ate Reese is Kuya's girlfriend."
"I want to sleep, love." I whispered to Wyatt as I got Wyacie to him. "Does our Wyacie want to sleep with Wyatt?" I asked and she barked which made me chuckle. "Usod ka nga, Wyatt. Hihiga na ako."
"So you guys are telling us that your brother and Reese are in a relationship? How can we believe you?" I heard tita asked as Wyatt tucked me in bed then kissed me. "They're really together." Tita said and Wyatt chuckled.
"You'll sleep with me tonight, love." Wyatt said and faced them. "Can Gracie sleep with me now?"
"Just tonight." Mom answered him. "We'll talk about this tomorrow." She said then they walked out of the room.
"Don't lock the door. I'll go back and check on you guys." Tita said before closing the door.
"We're finally alone." Wyatt said as he got Wyacie then walked to the door and locked it. "They're used to us locking the door so it won't be a problem." He said as he walked back to me which made me chuckle.
"Maybe? Looks like they got strict with us this time." I said to him as he lay beside me. "Are you sure that Wyacie will sleep in the middle of us?"
"Why? You don't want her to sleep in the middle of us?" He asked so I nodded. "What's the problem?"
"Baka madaganan mo." I said and chuckled. "But you can put her in our pillow." I said and he put Wyacie on our pillow and then hugged me. "I forgot to put a towel on the bed, love. Baka matagusan yung bed sheet."
"I'll go and get a towel." He said and stood up. He did get a towel so I stood up and put the towel on my side of the bed then lay down again. "Are you comfortable?"
"Yes. Thank you." I said as he hugged me and pressed his face on my neck. "Good night, love."
The next morning we woke up because of the loud knocks on the door. Wyatt stood up and he didn't have a shirt so I looked at our pillows and saw his shirt there. "Wear your shirt, love." I said and threw his shirt at him and he catched it but didn't wear it. He opened the door and it revealed everyone in the house. "Good morning?"
"Wear your shirt, son." Tito said to him as all of them walked inside Wyatt's room so I sat down. "I heard that you guys are already in a relationship."
"Can everyone get out? Can we talk about this to the living room?" Wyatt asked but nobody listened to him. I removed the comforter that's covering me then stood up and walked to the bathroom. "Are you going to take a shower?"
"No. I might just change. Can you get the bag I brought here last night? The things I need are in there."
When Wyatt gave me my bag I proceeded to change my clothes and things before going out. It's only our parents and Wyatt was left there. "Love, tell them. You're on your period right? Mom saw the towel and it had blood." Wyatt said and pointed at the towel in tita's hand.
"I did. In fact I'm on my third day already." I said to him and I heard a series of sighs, which made me chuckle. "Wyatt and I just sleep whenever we're alone in our room. You guys don't need to worry."
"And come on guys. We are educated enough in the things you guys feared. You guys taught us about those." Wyatt said to them so I agreed. "Are you hungry, love?"
