Limerence - Chapter 4

“I have a plan! You’ll go there as me Gabby! Just this once, I just don’t have the heart to stood up Miguel.” After hearing what is in Alex’s mind, Gabby was beyond shocked on her sister’s idea. It was too ridiculous, she didn’t like mingling with people and Alex’s friends are no exception. Thus, she just wanted to run away from Alex and her ridiculous idea.

“I…I… Listen, Alex it’s a bad idea, okay? I don’t even know him. Also, he knew that you have a sister. Just tell him the truth and move it to another day. Easy, right?”

“Gabby, I didn’t exactly tell him that I have a twin sister. He just knew that I have a sister, so you’ll be fine.” Alex replied as if her idea is not a bad thing.

“You could just tell him that you have a twin sister and that the girl he met a while ago is actually your twin and not you. It’s just that simple Alex. Please don’t drag me into this mess.” Gabby answered persuading her sister to dismiss her idea.

“Another thing is he already saw you earlier. It will be weird if I tell him that I was sick and the one he saw a while ago is my twin sister. It’s not also a good thing to tell him that over the phone. If I were to tell him, it should be in person.” Alex reasoned out.

“Gabby, it’s a very important day for me. You must go please!” Alex looked at her with a glimpse of hope in her eyes, compelling her to agree to it but it’s not an easy decision for her.

“Gabby, it’s a good opportunity that he didn’t know that I have a twin sister, so you could go there freely and act like me. Please! Pretty Please! You love me, right? Because I love you and I’ll do everything for you and I hope that the feeling is mutual” Alex was still trying to convince her in agreeing with her plan. At the same time, she’s making cute faces that Gabby can’t resist. She just loves it when her sister is acting cute. In the end, she agreed to it.

“Fine, I’ll go but remember Alex, just this once. Fill me in with the details that I have to know.” The day has come that Gabby has been dreadful for, the day that she’ll be wearing dresses and make up again. She really hated these stuff, it irks her.

Alex saw Gabby staring blankly into her room, so she decided to surprise Gabby.

“Boo!” Gabby was startled by the voice beside her.

“What the?! Alex, what’s your problem? Why are you sneaking in my room?”

“I’m not sneaking, okay? I saw you in daze, so I think it will be a clever idea to surprise you and I think I succeeded” Alex replied and started laughing out loud.

“You know what Alex, just leave my room.” Gabby was pushing Alex towards the door to send her out.

“Wait! Wait! Calm down! I have something to tell you. You’re too harsh to your sister.” Alex pouted afterwards.

“Stop the act, Alex. We’re not a kid anymore so please don’t pout in front of me ever again, it wouldn’t work anymore. It will just send goosebumps all over my body.”

“Anyways, what is it? Say it quickly because I’m planning to sleep early.”

“Oh… I came at the right moment then. I’ll be sleeping here, okay? I kind of miss sleeping with you.”

“Oh, please Alex, we’re already grown-ups. Go back to your room now. I don’t want you here. My bed is too small for the both of us. The end. Bye!” Gabby is pushing Alex to the door while saying these words.

“Actually, no! I’ll be sleeping here. Goodnight sis! Love you!” Alex then jump on the bed and lay there while fixing the blanket.

“Argh!” Gabby responded as she was left with no choice but to close the door and turn off the lights to finally sleep. It has been an exhausted day for her, after all.
