Chapter 9

My birthday went lit. The night became more exciting. The oldieas went home while my cousins and the grandchildren of Nicholas Privino stayed.

"Let's play. Truth or Drink." Kuya Tristan said waving the black label.

Everyone seems so excited and clapping, we form a circle and starts to spin an empty bottle. I hope I won't get caught off guard.

"I don't want this kind of game, I might get drunk." Yuri laughed.

The bottle stopped at Izza Privino, she smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Who do you think is the most handsome Santiago." Carylle asked.

She looked at every one of us, Yuri is posing a lot maybe he's thinking that Izza will call him. A minute after she said a name.

"It's Tristan for me." She smiled.

That hype the atmosphere, a lot says oh and clapped their hands. Kuya Tristan made a handsome sign and stood up like he is a celebrity and we are his fans.

"Maybe you should get your glasses Izza." Yuri joked.

After we laugh Izza spin the bottle and it pointed Yuri.

"Damn this is not good." He whispered to me.

Kuya Tristan laughed when he knew what Privino will ask Yuri. I laughed my throat out when I knew it that's why he's getting red.

"Body count." Luna said.

"That's not so good question." Yuri laughed.

"Look like you have a lot of them Yuyu." Kuya Anthony laughed.

"Should I drink it?" He asked.

"No you should answer you brat." Kzarina hissed.

"Ok, it's only 4." He put his hands up.

Kuya Tristan and Kuya Anthony high five each other and laugh. The girls laughed to and I wonder who's that girl. Damn my cousin.

"I'm proud of you Man." Kuya Anthony laughed as Yuri spin the bottle.

It turns out that Kzarina who is eating get pointed.

"You never have a boyfriend before right?" Apollo asked.

"Is that the question?" Kzarina laughed.

"Nahh, if ever who's your type?"

Yuri looked at Kzarina waiting for her answer. Carylle took out his phone and starts to video Kzarjna from afar.

"Blackmail." She giggled "Answer faster now, so I know who I'll tease with you." Yuri laughed.

"Looks like my baby Kza is still a baby." Kuya Anthony chuckled.

"Damn you Apollo! It's John, that annoying bastard bitch." She said.

John raised his both hands and laughed. We all laughed when we saw Kzarina's reaction. She looks like a baby that is pissed.

"I never knew that it's him." Yuri whispered.

"You know she's a mysterious girl." I nodded.

The bottle stopped at Hazel who's busy at her phone. She looked at us and smiled.

"Stop using phone we are doing something." Kuya Tristan hissed.

"But I'm doing something."

Izza raised her hand and Hazel looked at her like they're best friends.

"Do you like Kuya Ciro? Are you going to marry?" Izza giggled.

I looked at Ciro's expression and he's ears are getting red. He looked pissed but calm at the same time.

"Of course! I'll do everything. I can ask my grandfather to arrange a marriage for us." Hazel giggled.

Izza smirked at me while my cousins looked at me worrying. I signed them that I'm ok, Kuya Anthony looked shocked maybe because he didn't know that Ciro and I are together now, but who knows? We never told anyone.

Yuri snaked his arms on my waist and let my head down on his shoulders.

"It's ok Ciro loves you anyway." He patted my head.

"But Hazel can do everything to get what she wants." I frowned.

"But she can't get a persin's heart. She need a lot of doctors to separate Ciro's heart from him." He giggled.

"You brat, you comforts the best I laughed."

The bottle stopped at Carylle and Freya asked her.

"Do you have a crush on one of us? Here in this circle?" Freya asked.

Carylle looked at me and laughed.

"Nah, I have special someone out there." She sighed.

"And you never told me." Mikko hissed.

We laughed with his side comments, he's so protective when it comes to Carylle. He even treated her like a princess. I wonder why my brother is not like that, he always bully me.

The bottle stops at Mikko and he smirked like he's so ready for this.

"The confidence Mikko huh?" Kzarina laughed.

"I'm always confident baby." He chuckled.

"Who's the one you are dating now?" Carylle asked.

"I'm not dating someone." Kuya Mikko protested.

"You are, I saw you." Carylle said.

"Someone's saw you for the first time Mikko?" Kuya Tristan laughed.

"It's the model from Manila. Yeh that cute girl." Kuya Mikko said.

Kuya Anthony laughed and shows a picture to Kuya Tristan. Maybe he knows that girl.

"She's pretty Mikko. She looks like an angel and you look like a not so angel." Kuya Tristan laughed.

"You really like models, Mik." Kzarina laughed.

"Yep, they have long legs and big butt." Kuya Mikko laughed.

"Last two because it's getting late and we will drink too." Kuya Anthony said.

The bottle stopped at Kuya Anthony, I heard him cursed that made me laugh.

"Body count." Yuri laughed.

We all clapped our hands waiting for his answer. I'll slapped him when it reaches 10.

"6" He laughed.

I'm nervous, I don't want the bottle to stop at me. I smiled when the bottle stop far away from me.

"Ok Ciro's turn."

Damn, why so lucky ack.

"I know you're hitting Selena." Kuya Anthony said.

"I want to know, do you really like my sister o it's just your play time?" He asked.

Yuri let my head fall on his shoulder again. Ciro looked at me and winked like he's so ready for this.

"I like her and I'm actually hitting on her for almost a year now. I'm serious about her and I'm not going to break her heart." He said.

Kuya Anthony and Kuya Tristan high five each other while my other cousins clapped their hands except for Hazel.

"That's good to hear."

"My ship is sailing." Yuri stand up and high five Ciro.

The boys went to the other table and starts drinking while we starts to swim.

I'm happy about his statement, the butterflies in my stomach are happy again.

I went to the restroom to fix my face, I will comb my hair because I look like a messy little girl. I was combing my hair when Hazel entered the comfort room.

I looked at her and saw that she's looking at me intensely. What the fuck is wrong? I'm getting nervous.

"Do you really like Ciro?" She asked while putting a nude shade lipstick on her lips.

"I like him, I love him anyway." I said without hesitation.

"But I like him." She said looking at the mirror.

"I didn't ask." I said ignoring her.

I know she always get what she wants. She always get my things even if I don't give her the permission but Ciro is different, he's not a thing.

"You know I can asked our grandfather to arranged us into marriage." She giggled.

"Do you think you'll won if you do that?" I laughed.

She looks so pissed like she's going to beat me up anytime soon.

"Baby I know you always get what you wants but he's mine and you will never capture his heart." I smiled.

I was about to leave the comfort room when she pushed me that caused me to lose my balance and the glass on the side table spilled.

I found myself on the floor moaning in pain, the shattered glass made a cut on my legs. I saw Hazel looked at me like she's so scared.

"Hey are you ok? What happened?" Yuri grabbed my waist and pulled me up.

The boys went over us so are my girl cousins. Carylle looked at me with her concerned eyes.

"Who did that to you?" Kzarina asked.

"It's her." I smirked.

Yuri and Carylle brought me to my room and let me sit on the bed. Kzarina walks towards the comfort room, I hope she'll not do something bad to Hazel.

"I'm going to call Ciro." Carylle said while running towards the door.

"Why did she do that?" Yuri asked.

"She likes Ciro. She got pissed and pushed me towards the side table. I didn't know that I will lose my balance." I explained.

"She's our cousin, why did she always put you in trouble?" He grinned.

"You're not going to give up Ciri right?" He asked.

"I'm not planning to." I smiled.

"Good that's my baby." He patted my head.

Yuri always treats me like a baby. His future girlfriend will be so lucky to have him.

"Gotta go now, your big brat is here." He waved his hand.

I saw Ciro locked the door and walked towards me holding a first aid kit.

He started to clean my wounds and to check every detail of me.

"I'm ok, everything's alright." I said.

"Your cousin did that? That little Hazel girl?" He asked.

I nodded and sighed. He sat beside me and put his hand on my waist.

"Why did she do that?"

"Because she knew that I love you. She said she's willing to do everything to get you." I frowned.

"I don't like that girl. She should treat you right, I'm not going to be nice to her anymore." He grinned.

"Is arrange marriage really possible for our families?" I asked.

"Yehh, maybe. Why?"

"Because she said she's going to asked my grandfather to arrange marriage you with her." I frowned.

"Even if my grandfather goes against our relationship, I'll drop my card down, my keys and everything just to stay with you." He smiled.

We lay down in bed and hugged each other. He kinda smell drunk but he's natural scent still lingers on my nose.

"I'm not going to give up everything we said, baby." He kissed my forehead.

"Happy birthday, have a good sleep." He said before I closed my eyes.
