GIO's POV When Scarlet and I got home, I immediately carried her to her room. Mom and her siblings are already asleep. Because they sleep together in mom and dad's room. Mom didn't even know Scarlet went to the bar, luckily they went to bed early. Scarlet also noticed that I wasn't there so I didn't realize that she left to drink. I just shook my head. Lily, Tom and Aira were in a room, in Scarlet's sister's room. There are two beds and they will fit.I can smell the alcohol in his mouth so I feel like I'm getting drunk too. Why did he get drunk? Doesn't he know that he's not allowed to drink without me? Fortunately, I caught up with you earlier, maybe what else that man would do to him. It's annoying but I need to calm down. I know it's my fault but maybe it's not enough for him to get drunk because of that. I have my reasons so I haven't told him that yet. I slowly put him down on the bed and stared at his face. I fixed her hair because it covered her face. I smiled because his l
GIO's POV I don't know if Scarlet and I are okay or not. When he finished eating earlier, he immediately went out of his room. He just said that he will first wash what he ate and prepare breakfast. I just nodded at what he said, I let him be alone for now. Maybe she needs time and I will give it to her. I was just sitting on the sofa and just looking at him. I smiled so much when I saw him preparing food on the table. It's like I imagined we were married and he was making me breakfast this morning. She really is a material girl. He has everything. "Bro," Tom called me softly, I turned to him, he was still holding out his hand, obviously just waking up."Why?" I asked him. He snorted at Scarlet, who had already turned his back on us. "Are you all right?" he whispered to me. "I don't know, we talked earlier but now he is avoiding me. I don't know, I don't understand her, but I will give her time to understand everything maybe," I promised her. “Wow, man. You are really changing,
Scarlet's POV Until now I still ignore Gio. I don't know why I'm still annoyed with him when I found out his reason why he didn't tell me that. Because it's so shallow, he lied because he didn't want me to get into trouble? Well, even if the situation is reversed, I'm still really involved because my father is involved. I clenched my fist when I thought of Leila. Fuck her, I won't be able to forgive her if I find out that she really had something to do with my father's death. I want to tell mom everything but I don't want to add more stress to her. It's hard, he hasn't even moved on from his father's death when he hears bad news again. I might not be able to take it anymore if I lose him."Scarlet," Aira called me. I turned to him and smiled. I was hanging out on the beach, watching the sunset. I don't know where Gio, Tom and Lily are. Maybe it's going for a walk, I don't know. Let them take care of their lives. "Why?" I asked him. "You are very grumpy there, how are you feeling?
Scarlet POVWhen we returned home, we saw Gio and Lily fighting in the distance. I frowned, it's a good thing they didn't fight at home, I might kick them both out if that happens."It looks like the cousins are fighting," Aira told me."It looks like what happened?" I asked him."Let's go! Let's come closer so we can hear what the two of them were fighting about," Aira said and immediately pulled me away."It's your fault, if you hadn't come here to Siargao we wouldn't be in trouble! Scarlet and I are fine, but when you came, she stopped paying attention to me!" Gio snorted at Lily."You're really going to blame me! If you're not stupid, why haven't you told him the truth right away? I thought he already knew," Lily told him angrily."I'm really afraid that he might leave me when he finds out the truth, you don't know how hard it is to tell the truth, Lily," Gio sadly promised her."Don't blame me for your tiredness, I'm here to help you not to fight you two, Gio," Lily promised hi
GIO's POV I was so upset earlier because of Lily. She's annoying, is she constantly giving me advice that I lack the effort that's why Scarlet and I haven't gotten along yet? It should be like this, that's how I'll do it. I said, I wanted to give her time and space. Then he got angry, saying it was a waste of time. I just shook my head at his rudeness. I'm not used to being teased by another girl and I'm only used to being teased by Scarlet. "Bro, it looks like the girls are doing okay, they are very happy with each other," Tom promised me. I turned to what he was pointing at and I saw that the three of them were enjoying themselves there, especially Lily. She can jump very well. "They seem to like my cousin," I promised him."Lily is nice," Tom said to me. I just nodded to him. We approached them. Lily and Aira looked at us. Scarlet just bowed. What's wrong with him? Earlier it was laughing but when we were approaching it was already bowing. Aira elbowed Scarlet so she looked at
Scarlet's POV Gio and I are currently on our way to town to buy drinks. It's six o'clock in the evening so the sky is quite dark. I was surprised when I felt someone rubbing my thigh. It was Gio, I was turned around by his behavior but he didn't care at all. It only focuses on driving me. "What are you doing?" I asked him and he raised an eyebrow. "Nothing," he said and looked at me with a smile. I fell in love with him. I'm a bit nervous so I patted his hand on my thigh. He just laughed. "Okay, I won't do it again." "Focus on your driving, maybe we'll catch up," I strictly promised him."Yes boss," he greeted me. I grinned at his in-laws. "Do you want to eat first? Before we go grocery shopping?” Gio asked me. "We'd better go grocery shopping before we eat," I promised him. "Alright, where do you want to eat?" he asked me. "Maybe just at Lollibee, there is a Lollibee there," I promised him. "Alright, we're here," he promised and parked his car on the side of the department
Scarlet's POV I calmed down Gio first before we went home. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and we were also given a few hours here in the park. "Are you okay? Water," I promised him. "Thank you, honey. Shame on you. It's just now that I cried like this and in front of a woman, it demeans my manhood," he told me, frowning at me."Are you serious? Didn't I tell you that it's okay to cry in front of me, I won't judge you. All of us, male or female have feelings. Even boys do cry, stop saying that when a man cries it lowers his confidence. You know I admire those boys who are true to their feelings, who are never ashamed crying in front of many people," I promised him. He frowned when he heard that from me. "Why?" I asked him more. "I will always cry to you just in case you like me," he promised me. I immediately hit him so he turned away from me. "Thanks! I don't like you..." He frowned even more because of what he heard. "I told you so!" he promised me."Because I lo
Scarlet's POV Our table is set up, we bought a lot of drinks because we also invited the men and women of our barangay. The newlyweds Nico and Sharmaine were also invited by us. That will come soon. I was in trouble because there were many young people coming to the house. So we set up two more tables. Fortunately, they are also kind, especially the men. I just don't like the way women look at my boyfriend. Both Aira and I are also angry because Tom is also being criticized by them. "Looks like we invited the girls wrong, Scarlet," he whispered to me. "It's good to poke their eyes out, isn't it?" I asked him."You said it!" Aira promised. “I heard that! You guys, let the women here have their fill, until they only look at your boys," Lily teased us. "Oh, since they're not looking at you!" Aira snorted at him. He laughed and looked at someone in the distance. We looked at what he was staring at. I saw the young man smiling with Tom and Gio. Looks like they even found a new friend
