Chapter 62 - Cold

"Thank you for the food, Ma'am," Pierre politely says.

He looked at us but I didn't look at him. The tension when our gazes met were too intense, I don't wanna make Noah jealous from this.

"That's nothing, Pierre. I hope you can visit us again next time.."

The hope in my mom's face makes me go sick. She really likes him and I don't have a choice really..

"Drake! You're really hot in your get up!" Dana says in a seductive way.

What the fuck?

"Hey, Dana. My brother is just fifteen!" I just wanna cleared it up to her. God! She doesn't know how to stop.

She coughs. Her eyes widened and I just laugh at that. My brothers are just tall, you would think that we are on the same age but still, you can see how young the are if you're smart. Duh?

So Dana, isn't smart.

I smirked. I was enjoying her reaction, she's been a flirt for a while and she keeps on hitting Drake who looks uninterested to her.

When Noah shouts at her, she didn't bother him that much again and I'm thankful for that. But when my brothers came, her slutty side suddenly bring out in her.

"Thanks," Drake slightly answered.

I smirked again when her face become pale. Oh, what a great view!

Sebastian went on the living room and opened the television. He's really addicted to it.

"Seb! Why don't you come back here?" My mom asked him.

"I can see them here, mom," He smirked.

"But isn't Pierre your tutor?"

"Yeah. I'll be the one to send them out, mom. We'll gonna talk over there, then," He smiles.

Among us siblings, he has the habit of watching television and I'm into reading books and social media. Drake was the bookworm and the gamer. I don't even imagined his reaction if he's upset on his game, his cold gestures are enough proof that he still used that kind of reaction even he went through those hell in his games.

"I was quite busy for a while, so I can't assure you when will I come back again,"

Pierre looked at me and I just can't look at him too. When he turn his eyes on me, I immediately looked away. Noah is here beside me now. I can't do something that we can fight later on.

"He keeps on looking at you.." Noah says. Shit!

Did he noticed it too? Is he watching us? Fuck! I hope he's not thinking of something impossible..

"H-hes not.."

I wanna sound normal but I just can't do it! Damn it!

"How do you say so when you keep avoiding his gaze?"

I looked at him. His eyes flushed pain and anger.. And I don't know what to do anymore. I stepped back and shook my head. He's still looking at my eyes, God!

I was stunned by his question. I forget how clever he is. If I could just disappear now I would be glad with that. This is more torture..

"W-what are you thinking N-noah?" I stuttered.

"Why do you look anxious where you're not supposed to have that reaction in the first place?" His face were blank.

I swallow hard in his question. It's like something was burden into my chest.

"I don't know what you're saying!" I pretend to laugh.

"You obviously are.."

I tore my eyes away from him, the pressure was binding inside me. His intimidating look sank my stomach and I just can't look confidently at him.

"I'll be at Seb's school tomorrow, so I hope there's still a time to teach him more since I'll be moving to the Washington next month.." He explains.

"So you'll be away from us forever?" My mom looked sad.

"No. I would visit you once in a while if it's okay with you.."

"Of course it's okay with them!" Dana giggled.

"You know, Washington is a bit away from our place. That's why we always missed, Raine.. Especially, her brothers.."

"Yeah, North Cascades is really a far place from Washington.. And it's beautiful! Your place is beautiful!" I rolled my eyes.

She's being a nosy bitch until the end. Ugh! I hate this!

"Uh.. Can I asked you something, Ma'am?" And that, why don't they just go home now?

"Sure," My mom smiles.

"I noticed that her father isn't here.. Where is he?"

My eyes widened at her question. Though, the smirked on her face didn't fade. I knew it! What's her plan? What does her question supposed to be mean?

Does she know something? Or am I just a paranoid?

"Uh.." The shocked in my mom's eyes bothered me.

The moment Dana laid her eyes on me, I just wanna grab her hair and slap her hard on her face. She's the most annoying girl I've ever encountered and she's really getting into my nerves!

"He's--"

"Let's go, Dana," Pierre cuts my mother. "I'm sorry for being too nosy about your family, Ma'am. We'll go now, thank you for the lunch,"

"Uh, okay. Take care!"

He grabbed Dana's wrist while his face was extremely cold. I wouldn't expect that they're still okay after this.

"Bye, Mrs. Elle! Noah--see you in Washingto--" and then Pierre put her inside his car immediately and face my brother.

I rolled my eyes and walked towards our living room. I was at the cliff again. Damn.

I saw Noah went inside his room and I just don't have the confidence to go to him. He must think that something was going on between me and Pierre now..

Drake also went inside his room without saying anything. That boy is really silent.

"Raine, join Noah inside your room. He must be upset now," My mom says.

"He's not, mom."

I lied about that. I know he is.. I was afraid of facing him, I'm afraid that he'd throw some words at me when I started to talk to him.

"C'mon, you can't be like that to your suitor, darling.." She sat in front of me.

I sigh and gave her a worried look. I know I did nothing wrong but I can't do anything on his jealousy. It naturally came out in him when he saw Pierre looking at me.

And my actions made him think that I feel something for him but the truth is not. I have no feelings for Pierre..

"Your mom's right. You can't be like this to me," I'm surprised by his presence.

His face is still cold. I didn't know he would go out again and heard what we are talking about.

"There.. It's better for you to talk," My mom tapped my shoulder and left us.

She went on the kitchen and arrange all the dishes that we used. I wanna help her but her face made me stop and face this cold man in front of me.

He sat next to me but the gap was so distant. I pouted and gave him my cutest look but his face didn't changed.

He doesn't like you anymore! You're such a loser, Raine!

Fuck! I'm exaggerating again!

Then I heard the door opens and Seb entered happily. I wonder what makes him smile widely like that.

"Mom!" He calls and looked around.

"She's in the kitchen. Why do you look so happy?" I asked.

He turned his eyes on me and smile more.

"Pierre will visit us thrice a week now! I've convinced him and he said yes. That's really cool, sis!" He run towards the kitchen and I just chuckled in his reaction.

"You're that happy?" Noah's sarcastic voice made me turn to him.

His brows are now furrowed and his face darkened. Now, I regret laughing like that. He thinks that I'm happy for it now.

"No. My brother is just funny and--"

"Don't deny it now, Raine. I can see it!" He looked away. I heard his curses and I just bit my lip for that.

I can't do anything about his jealousy, though.

"Can you move a little, Raine? I wanna watch," My brother suddenly came.

His addiction on television is quite high! Me and Noah were about to talk and here he is..intruding us! Damn it!

"Again?" I can't hide my sarcasm.

He smirked and grabbed the remote. I just shook my head in annoyance. I have no choice but to take Noah inside my room now.

Our conversation is private, I won't let anyone hear about it. I'm a little sensitive for that.

I stood up and grabbed Noah's hand but he's trying to pull it out. Seriously? He hates me that much?

"We need to talk, Noah," I said in irritation.

"Where?"

I wanna answer him in a sarcastic way but I held myself. I'll be more understanding since it's my fault.

Is it really my fault?

"In my room. We can't talk here," I looked at my brother.

He looked at him too and shut his mouth.

"But is that okay with your mother?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. So he didn't heard everything earlier? If he really was. He would think that my mom approves of it because she even suggested that I'll go to him a while ago but he seemed that he doesn't know about it.

"We won't do something bad, Noah. And I'm sure you're annoyed with me. You won't even take a step closer to me even if we're on a closed space.."

His face softened. He bit his lip and stood up. I hope he won't feel jealous after this..
