CHAPTER 3

WHEN THEY reached the dining room, Kellan and their mother were already sitting on their respective seats while waiting for them.

"Seat down and let's eat" their mother said. Gaelle glanced at the chair beside Jillian. She was about to sit there when Kellan spoke.

"Sit here" he said and then pulled the chair for her.

"No, it's okay. I'll just sit here" she answered and then sat on her chosen chair which was just beside Jillian. She could see the anger in Kellan's eyes. He's staring at her while clenching his jaw. Jillian and their mother were just quietly staring at them with confusion in their eyes. She suddenly felt awkward and uneasy around them but she tried her best not to show it and smiled.

"Let's eat" she uttered. They began eating but Kellan remained quiet while Jillian on the other hand was very talkative.

"Mom, ate and I are going to go somewhere later" Jillian informed their mother.

"That's nice. Where do you plan to go to?"

"Just at the mall, mom. I just want to be with ate. You know, to have a bonding time with her and other stuff" Jillian answered and then smiled at Gaelle. She smiled faintly. She has been feeling uncomfortable and awkward since a while ago because she could feel Kellan's hot stare at her and she couldn't meet his eyes at all.

She tried to finish her food even though she didn't have an appetite.

"Such as wrong timing. I really want to come with you two but I have a lot scheduled patients that are waiting for me at the hospital today" Her mother said with evident disappointment.

"It's okay, mom. You can always come with us next time" Jillian assured their mother.

"I'll drive you two" the three of them got surprised when Kellan suddenly spoke. He remained quiet since a while ago. Their attention focused to him.

"I-It's okay. We can just t-take a cab" Gaelle wanted to hit herself when she stuttered. She gulped inaudibly when she saw his eyes darkened.

"No, I insist"

"It's okay, kuya. We'll just use my car" She felt relieved when she heard what Jillian said while Kellan on the other hand heaved a sigh.

"No. I'll be going to the mall anyway. I have something to buy there so let's just go together" Jillian rolled her eyes.

"Fine" She finally agreed in resignation and continued eating while Gaelle was feeling uneasy on her seat. She wanted to protest but she doesn't want to give her mother and Jillian an idea about her and Kellan's past relationship.

WHILE they were inside the car, driving to the mall, Kellan was quiet the whole time while driving. While Jillian on the other hand was so talkative as always even though she was sitting alone at the back seat. Gaelle wanted to sit together with Jillian at the back but Kellan insisted for her to sit in front with him.

"This is so awesome. I am with my brother and sister. It's just pity that mom couldn't come with us. Our family's not complete. It's more fun if we're complete" Jillian said as she crossed her arms across her chest.

"Brat, I just want to clear it out that Gaelle and I aren't family" Her heart tightened because of what he said. This jerk! If he doesn't want to consider her as a part of his family then, fine. Whatever!

"Why not? You already considered mom like your real mother so ate Gaelle and you are like siblings now"

"Siblings?! You don't know what you're talking about, brat. I would never accept Gaelle as a sister. Never" She felt like something heavy crushed her heart. She got hurt of what he said; as if she wasn't worthy enough to be his sister.

"But, kuya---"

"Don't bother, Jillian. He's right. We're not related anyway so we don't have to treat each other like family" Kellan threw her a glance but she just ignored him and looked outside the window. She felt him reached for her hand but she brushed his hand off.

She could see him gritting his teeth through her peripheral vision and she knew him enough to realize that he's pissed off. Whatever, jerk!

WHEN they arrived at the mall, Gaelle thought that Kellan would go in a separate way from them and buy the thing that he needed to buy but he continued following her and Jillian. He was staring at her meaningfully and he looked like he wanted to talk to her but she intentionally avoided him. She snaked her arm around her little sister's arm in order to avoid Kellan and it's effective.

Kellan looked pissed off the whole time but she just ignored him.

They went to different stores and her sister tirelessly bought a lot of clothes.

"Ate, don't you want to buy something for yourself too?" Jillian asked her while holding a pair of swimsuit in her hand. They're in a lingerie store but instead of staying outside the store like other guys, Kellan's with them like it was nothing. He doesn't looked bothered at all that he was the only guy inside the shop. Well, for her it's normal but here in the Philippines, it's probably not that normal because some people are already staring at him.

Some women are gawking at him and salivating of how good looking he is. Some are curious why he's there and others are staring weirdly at him.

"It's okay. I brought a lot of clothes and besides, I won't be staying here for long. I need to go back to France within a week. I have a lot of things that I need to do there" Jillian's face suddenly became sad.

"What? You're going back so soon, ate?"

"Yup. I really need to go back soon"

"You're not going back there" Gaelle and Jillian looked at Kellan's direction and she almost gasped out loud when she saw the anger on Kellan's face while staring at her. What's this guy's problem staring at me like that?

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me, chérie" He said with an emotionless face. She felt annoyed. She raised her chin defiantly before she answered.

"You don't have the right to tell me that. I just came here to get to know my mother and sister and that's it" she said sternly but Kellan just smirked dangerously at her.

"So, you didn't have the purpose of meeting up with me when you came here?"

"Why would I think about meeting up with you?" His eyes darkened and his aura became even more dangerous. The anger in his body was radiating and she could feel it.

"You'll going to pay for that, chérie" He warned and left the store. Gaelle felt relieved. The beating of her heart was faster than normal. She even clutched her chest as she bit her bottom lip. Gaelle suddenly felt guilty because of the words that she said but she couldn't take back what she already said.

"Are you okay, ate?" she looked at her sister right away. She even forgot that Jillian was just standing next to her. She forced a smile.

"I won't ask you what's the real score between you and kuya but I hope that you will fix your misunderstanding soon"

"There's nothing to fix between us. C'mon, Brat. Let's go to the other shops"

"You're calling me brat too now, ate?" Gaelle chuckled because Jillian even pouted.

"Why not? I think it suits you" Jillian laughed hearing what she said. Later on, they already picked whichever caught their interest. She was having a good time being with her sister but she couldn't stop her eyes from searching for Kellan. Where is that guy anyway?

"Looks like you're worried about him, ate. Don't worry. He's just nearby for sure" Jillian said teasingly.

"What are you talking about?" She asked feigning nonchalance.

"C'mon, ate. I wasn't born yesterday" She teased.

"Hmp, whatever, brat. Anyway, is that all you're going to buy?' Gaelle asked teasingly as she eyed the things that her sister bought. She bought a lot that they barely couldn't carry all of them.

"Wait, I'll just call kuya and ask him where he is right now so that we could go there and make him carry all these bags for us" Jillian's eyes danced with mischief and dialed her brother's number. But Kellan wasn't picking up his phone. Jillian tried calling his number a couple of times but his phone was still unattended. Jillian's lips pursed while frowning with annoyance towards Kellan.

"Guess we don't have a choice other than to carry these paper bags ourselves"

Yes. They really didn't have a choice and carried all of it themselves. Thankfully, it wasn't that heavy. After putting the shopping bags inside the car's compartment, Gaelle thought that they'd finally go home but Jillian pulled her to the restaurant to eat lunch. When she gazed at her wristwatch, it was already past 12. No wonder she's already starving.

While they're in the middle of eating at the Japanese restaurant inside the mall, her attention was outside, looking for a particular person.

"Ate, kuya must be busy right now. For sure, he already ate so don't worry about him" she wanted to deny that she was looking for Kellan but she didn't want to lie. As much as possible, she doesn't like lying.

After they finished eating, she went to the restroom. Jillian didn't come with her so she went alone.

While she was washing her hands, she heard someone came inside the restroom. She ignored it. But when she heard the doorknob being locked, she looked at the door and her heart instantly started beating wildly as she saw the man who's been occupying her mind since he left them a couple of hours ago.

Their eyes met for a couple of seconds before he started walking closer towards her. She swallowed hard. The room suddenly felt small for the two of them. She couldn't breathe properly. She looked at the door behind him. She wanted run away from him but how? He was blocking the way!

"Don't bother, chérie. You won't get away from me this time" He said huskily while staring at her intently. Gaelle stepped backwards while Kellan slowly walked towards her until she felt her back hit the cold wall behind her. She cursed under her breath. Why did they have to be the only people that's inside the restroom at this moment?!

"W-Why are you here? This is a women's restroom for god's sake, Kellan!" Gaelle tried to appear brave but her trembling voice gave her away. She's not really scared of Kellan. She's afraid to lose her control in front of Kellan again. Almost instantly, her body's temperature is rising as he stared at her body full of lust and desire.

SHE COULD clearly see in his eyes what he wanted to happen between them right now and as much as possible, she would fight what her body and soul wants. She mustn't let herself get sweep away by his charm once again. But it's easier said than done because the moment he pulled her by the waist and kissed her hungrily, all the inhibitions in her body disappeared into thin air.

The kiss that he was giving her was burning with desire which made her knees tremble. She clung her arms around his neck because she couldn't trust her knees anymore. She felt like she lost her strength that she couldn't even get away from him even if she wanted to.

She moaned deliriously when his tongue invaded the recesses of her mouth. He was expertly exploring the insides of her sweet mouth and she couldn't do anything other than moan and kiss him back with equal fervor.

She felt his hands which were already on her butt, kneading them as if he couldn't get enough of them, while he continued kissing her passionately. She was already so lost of what he's doing to her. She even forgot where they were at the moment!

"Put your legs around my waist, chérie" he ordered as he lifted her up from the floor. She instantly obliged and then she felt him put her down on the lavatory counter top. As soon as he put her down, his burning kisses went down to neck.

He nipped, sucked and kissed her there while his hands went to her breasts. He massaged them through her sleeveless shirt. Her nipples hardened and ached for more of his touch.

He reached for the hem of her top and then pushed it up together with her brassiere until her breasts got exposed to his eyes. As soon as her breasts uncovered in front of him, he instantly latched on them with his naughty mouth and used his tongue to tease them. He played with her turgid rosy buds erotically.

Gaelle moaned even more because of what he's doing. She raked her hands through his hair while biting her bottom lip. When she felt him pushed her skirt up, she willingly parted her legs as she waited for his next move with anticipation. But her eyes bulged because of what he did next. The jerk just ripped her panties off of her like a Neanderthal!
