Chapter 6
'Even though I'm happy for my sister that she got a chance to study with chef Pierre, I fell they are keeping something from me. I have to find out what. But since Jini is going with Mike and Helen to France, the only person from whom I could find out what is happening is Mark. I need to find a way to get close to him, to become his friend. I'll be so alone with them leaving. Should I ask him to come live with me since Jini and Mike are going away? What I'm thinking? Asking him to come live with me? No way... Think about something else... Think about something else... Think about... Oh, I know I'll think about how to bring the news about Jini leaving to our parents. That's right. That way I will not think about him anymore. But, why Mark's eyes have sadness in them? Could it be that he likes my sister? Is he sad because she's leaving? He can't like my sister. I won't allow it. He must only look at me. I want to take away his sadness. I don't like him been so sad. Should I buy something for him to cheer him up, or should I cook something for him instead? That's it... I'll invite him to the restaurant and cook for him. I wonder what his favorite dish is... I'll ask my sister that. I only need to find a way so that she won't be suspicious. Better yet I'll ask Dave's help with that. Can't wait for the date tonight. I wonder how Mark's lips will
Bryan hadn't realized that his thoughts are taking him on a different path.
Seeing her brother changing his expression from frowning to sadness, and from sadness to angry, from angry to sad again, from sad to happy, Jini asked him:
- Bryan is something wrong with you? Why are you making those faces?
- What faces? I'm not making any faces...
- Yes, you are. Haven't you noticed that for the last minutes we stopped talking to look at you. Here I have proof of that. Jini said as she showed him what she filmed with her phone.
- I bet he was thinking about something naughty... Mike said.
- So what if I was thinking... Said Bryan with a big grin on his face.
- I bet you were thinking about doing something naughty with someone... See I was right... You're blus.h.i.+ng. Said Mark smiling at Bryan.
That smile made Bryan blush even more, even his ears turned from light pink to red. Jini secretly took his picture as a memento for seeing her brother blush that much. 'I have a great idea with what I can do with this photo' thought Jini to herself.
- Okay, okay. It's time for everyone going back to work. Said Dave who couldn't stop himself from laughing.
- I have an idea. How about this evening we all gather at my place and spend time together before we leave for France. Jini said.
- Jini, can we let this for tomorrow? I have something to do that I can't cancel.
- Sure big bro. We can do that so all you have to do is to enjoy your date. Whispered Jini to Bryan as she hugged him.
- What? How do you know what I plan to do?
- Don't forget, I'm the one who know you the best big bro.
- Stop whispering stuff to each other like we aren't here. Dave said.
- That's not your problem Dave. Helen, Mike let's go. We have a lot to do before we leave for France.
Oh, and Dave, my brother has something to talk with you. Bryan I'll call you later. Jini said as she winked at her brother.
- Bye guys.
- Bye...
- So, what do you want to talk to me about?
Before Bryan got the chance to answer Dave, Mark said to them:
- I leave you two alone to talk. I have something to do.
- Okay. Mark, I'll see you later at the company.
- Okay, see you. Bye Dave.
- Bye, Mark. Now, Bryan lets get back to business. What to you want me to do?
As Bryan and Dave were walking to their cars to get to the restaurant, they failed to notice that someone was watching them for a while...
