Chapter 479: Future brother-inw.
A familiar scene was ying out among the group of friends. With Lucas at the airport and Jen giving him a teary goodbye. It was very early in the morning, and unlikest time, everyone was going back to their business after dropping him off.
"You look better thanst time," Lucas joked as he kissed her forehead before looking at her slightly watery eyes and Jenughed at herself. She did not want to be emotional, but she could not help but feel sad at his departure.
"I''ll see you in a couple of weeks," Lucas said with a smile and kissed her lips. Jen smiled and nodded before she let him go. After Lucas said goodbye to his friends once more, he finally left for his flight. Jen let out a long sigh after she could no longer see his departing back.
"Let''s go," Alex said as she tugged at her sister''s hand, who was a bit dazed after watching the ne fly off.
"Okay," Jen said, feeling a bit down, but not like she was the first time he had left.
"We''ll see you this weekend," their group of friends kept chorusing before all their cars finally left the airport''s parking lot.
Jen also got in the driver''s seat of therge car Lucas had been driving and took off after Alex settled in the passenger''s seat.
They had driven for about ten minutes before Alex was unable to stand the silence anymore. She looked at her sister, who was focusing on the road and pursed her lips together.
"Jen," she called her, snapping her out of her thoughts in the process.
"Hm?" Jen responded and briefly nced at her.
"Yesterday, Michael told me he liked me," Alex said, and Jen identally hit the brakes. She was expecting her sister to say anything but that.
"Really?" she asked with raised eyebrows, and even though she wanted to look at Alex, she couldn''t because she was on the highway.
"Yeah, I was more surprised than you were," Alex eximed and proceeded to tell her everything that had happened between her and Michael the previous night.
"Wow, really? He just kissed you?" Jen asked, already forgetting about her low mood was after Lucas''s departure.
"Yeah, then he told me he really liked me," Alex continued, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes sparkling as she reminisced what had happened the previous night.
"And what did you say?" Jen asked her, curious about her sister''s rtionship status.
"I told him I would think about it," Alex answered as she remembered what happened the previous night.
After she had given Michael that answer, she had been pulled in for another kiss because Michael was drunk and he had enjoyed kissing her so much the first time it happened. It was like he had gotten addicted to her taste.
The two of them had made out so intensely that they almost went further than just kissing. If it was not for Michael being aplete newbie at it, Alex would have probably woken up naked that morning.
"Are you going to think about it?" Jen asked her sister, her voice filled with liveliness. It was not like Alex could have said no anyway. After Michael had kissed her in such an unrestrained manner, she finally saw him differently from how she did before.
She always had it in her head that Michael was like a younger brother but now, she couldn''t help but look at him as a man. Besides, who kisses their younger brother right?
"I am," Alex answered honestly.
"You are going to be leaving soon? How will that work?" Jen asked and Alex became silent as she thought about it. She had to go back home and resume business as usual as she had been away for such a long time.
"Jen, it''s not like we are dating," Alex answered with a pout and looked outside the window. Jen nced at her sister and a happy smile appeared on her face. Since Alex had given her such a reply, it meant that she had seriously thought about it.
Alex was thinking about how Michael had asked for permission to pursue her and she pursed her lips as her heart raced from the memory. It was the first time she experienced something like this. All the confessions she had received before were always straightforward.
They would say they like her and ask for an answer at the same time. Michael had asked for permission to pursue her instead as if asking her to take her time to decide whether or not she would want to have a rtionship with him. It was very touching and she found him to be unbearably cute for doing so.
Jen took her time driving Alex back to the hotel before she went to university. Because of her detour, she arrived after Michael and with a teasing smile, she went to sit down next to him. When Michael saw Jen he felt like his hangover had suddenly gotten worse.
"You look miserable," Jen said as she took out her things from her bag.
"I am miserable, I shouldn''t have drunk so muchst night," he mumbled as he massaged his forehead.
"I''ll take you out for lunch after this to cure your hangover," Jen offered with a chuckle. She was very familiar with how ufortable it is to be hungover. She then pulled out a bottle of water and ced it in front of him.
"Drink," she said with a smile that Michael did not understand. He did not know that she was now looking at him as a potential brother-inw. She knew her sister''s personality very well, if she waspletely disinterested she would have shot him down immediately. Meaning, he probably would not have even had the opportunity to kiss her in the first ce.
Michael thanked Jen and took a sip of water. Not long afterward, their lecturer arrived and their attention was drawn to the lecture. As Jen was jotting down some main points, she was thinking to herself that she only had to go through this for another week, because the following week was preparation week before the exam week. After that, she is going to leave and go to her man. She couldn''t wait for her holidays. She was already feeling like she needed a break.
