Limerence - Chapter 11

Chris asked his cousin about the girl he spoke with earlier. She’s a beauty, he won’t let this chance to pass.

“Who is she? I’ve never seen her before.”

“She’s a friend. Of course, you’ve never seen her because she’s not from here in the first place.”

Miguel was perplexed on why Cassie would be here. If he remembered it right, they don’t have a relative around this area. Unless a relative moved here, then that was a good reason to visit the place. He was sure that it’s not the twin because Cassie told him that the twins are not here.

“She’s beautiful, why not introduce me to her the next time?”

“Stop it, Chris. She’s off limits.”

‘She’s off limits because she’s related with the twins, he won’t let his cousin toyed with her.’ Miguel thought.

“Why?”

“No reason” Miguel answered.

“What? You’re not going to tell me!” Chris got mad at his cousin. He thought his cousin was being selfish.

“I’ll just introduce you to another girl.” To console his cousin, Miguel decided to introduce him to other girls. Chris was happy to hear what his cousin had told him. To express it, he patted his shoulder as if telling Miguel that he made the right decision. On the other hand, Miguel can’t help but think that his cousin is too whiny for a guy. He could pass as a girl for being whiny.

Afterwards, they went inside the cinema. Miguel dismissed what he was thinking and focused on the movie first. He can think about it later after watching the movie.

The next day

Miguel busied himself in putting up the puzzle pieces together. He decided to play this game to exercise his discernment ability and critical thinking, he could also play chess but Chris was not around, so he decided to complete a puzzle instead

He’s been thinking a lot since yesterday, but he can’t still come up with a good reason on the sudden appearance of Cassie here. Well, it could also be just like what Cassie told him. There’s nothing wrong in visiting this place after all.

Yet, he can’t just let go of this accident, his instinct tells him that something is not quite right. There’s a lot of place that she can visit that is more beautiful than here. This place is too ordinary to attract people.

After another hour of thinking, an idea has popped in his head.

Then, he suddenly laughed like a maniac. He forgot that Cassie was in a relationship with his best friend, he can just contact him to ask about Cassie. That would be easier because the couple was honest with each other. He smiled triumphantly because he can already know the answer that has been bugging him since yesterday.

He didn’t waste a single minute anymore, he called him and waited until his friend picked up his call. After several rings, his friend answered the phone call.

“Charlie!”

“Migs! Long-time no talk. How are you?”

“I’m doing good. How about you? Still with Cassie?” He asked him first if he was still with Cassie, because if not, then asking him will be futile.

“I’m fine! Still going strong.”

“That’s a good thing, by the way I saw her in a mall here at Yukon”

“You’re in Canada? Since when? Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve go with her there.”

“I just arrived two days ago and it’s just a coincidence. You know, Cassie, she would never let me see her in her own accord. By the way, what is she doing here by herself? Why didn’t you go with her?”

“Aunt Kaye asked Cassie to go there. It’s for business purposes so she didn’t let me go with her anymore. That was what she said.”

They continued to talk with each other over the phone and eventually bid their goodbyes from each other.

‘So that’s the reason why Cassie was here by herself, it was because her mom asked her to go here, it should be an important document to let Cassie delivered it here personally. It’s a feasible reason.’ Miguel thought and realized that he was just overreacting.

On the other side, the twins are done preparing their things and went straight to the airport.

Alex forgot to tell Gabby that Cassie will be joining them back to Quebec. So, Gabby was surprised to see Cassie at the airport.

“You’re here!” Gabby exclaimed after seeing Cassie.

“Didn’t Alex tell you?” Cassie replied and then gave her a peck in the cheeks before turning to Alex and kiss her as well.

“I forgot to tell her, there’s a lot of things that’s been bothering me since yesterday.” Alex shrugged and gave Cassie a knowing look.

Cassie also shrugged her shoulder and turn around to catch up with Gabby because the twins will be busy for sure. So, she won’t have time to pay them a visit, it’s obvious that his aunt (the twins’ mom) will keep the two girls busy. She also doesn’t have the heart to steal the twins’ time with their mom. Especially that they seldom visit their mom and this is one of those time, so she will let her aunt to have all the time of the twins.

It’s already a good thing that she decided to come back with them, so they can have a time to chitchat with each other now.
