Chapter 221 - CATCH UP

Well, Yazeno does, but he detests Lawrence because he doesn't feel like Lawrence's worthy of Yanarym's affection. As he finished setting her clothes and shoes and slippers and checked her bathroom. He moved to his room to change onto more comfortable clothing before helping Yashnile in the garden to start grilling their dinner. 

They arrived at the island at 5:00 P.M. They had to do dinner since maid or room service was not endorsed by this new resort. It's like you were in your own home but the resort wanted to emphasize the fantasy and magical theme of vacation for family, couples, or friends. This was a pilot idea for this specific island and if it doesn't work out, they could just make it their family vacation home.

"When do you plan to shift?" Yashnile asked Yazeno while they were grilling the food in the garden. Yazeno had a glimpse in his direction before redirecting his attention to the barbeque he's grilling. 

"By the end of the semester," he answered. "Ate Rym talked to me too about changing my course." He added, "Did you tell her to stop working at Law's?" 

"I will try talking to her about that matter again." Yashnile sighed. "If she could just do something like what Cailly's doing, I will be more at ease."

"She said, she will quit, didn't she tell you that?" 

"She said that to you?" 

"Yes, earlier, while we are on the way here." Yashnile smiled. 

"That would be great."

"And Kuya, just a piece of advice, stop antagonizing Lawrence in front of Ate Rym. You're only ruining your relationship with her." 

"I can't help it, whenever that name is mentioned I get irritated." 

"That's why she's hating you." 

"What do you want me to do? Preventing me to be fine with her boyfriend when I am not?" 

"Can't you? You can just make his life miserable when she's not in the vicinity. Lawrence won't rattle you to her." 

"You shouldn't talk that while she's here. She might be sneaking in behind you." Cailly who was done arranging her thing decided to help with doing dinner instead of sleeping. 

"Aren't you on jetlag?" Yashnile asked. "You just traveled a 16 hours flight."

"I'm fine Kuya. I can't sleep too."

"How's Paris Ate Cai?" 

"It's good." 

"And the people?" 

"They're nice." 

"Did you find yourself a boyfriend?" 

"I have no time for that." 

"Come to think of it, you're the only one who is still single." 

"I wish Ate Rym was just like you." 

"Rym found a good person. They're really compatible with each other." 

"Do you hear yourself? It was obvious that the bastard was trying to lure her until now." 

"Hey, don't say that, he is a good person."

"All girls see a handsome guy as a good person." 

"We're not, Lawrence is a good person. Did Rym ever complain about him? She didn't, right? Because he is a good boyfriend." 

"Whatever." 

"Zen, stop arguing with your sister..." 

"I don't get why they are both defending that jerk. He's clearly not the person who could make Ate Rym happy."

"She's happy with him," Cailly said. "All you just have to do is accept Lawrence and be happy for her." Yanarym is woken up by Yashnile saying that dinner's ready. She felt so drowsy that she wanted to roll over on sheets again but Yashnile knew that she would do that that's why he pulled her up from bed. 

"Stop sleeping and eat." 

"I can't open my eyes." She said huskily, Yashnile chuckled while holding both her hands to support her to sit up. 

"You can sleep right after we eat, let's go. You will like the food on the table." He tried convincing her but her body was still dragging down and her head was rolling around like she's losing consciousness. 

"Yanarym." 

"Oh - kayyyy~" She yawned and tried opening her eyes. She remembers the time when she became a part-timer at a convenience store with a night shift back when she was in her late twenties on her first life. She always had a hard time waking up and stayed sleeping the whole day. 

At this present, although she was not on the night shift, she had to take over time because the cases and criminals were not all sleeping. 

"I'm awake." She said in a low tone to Yashnile, "You can let go." 

"No, you're going back to bed If I do. Stand up." She did what she was told. As they all sat at the dining table Yazeno prepared a glass of wine along with the food. 

Yanarym dazed on the food. Two hours of sleep and jet lag had her head hanging in the clouds. She couldn't comprehend a thing. Cailly gave her a dome barbeque she could chew. The three siblings were telling stories to each other while Yanarym was silently eating, not being able to match their enthusiasm.

After having five sticks of barbeque, she drank her wine and didn't understand Guide-sama's warning about the alcoholic content that her body's alcohol tolerance couldn't stand. She fell asleep after minutes of gnawing, Yazeno who was keeping an eye on her saw her settle her head on the table and began sleeping. 

Cailly gave her her jacket and they continued talking to each other. Just when they finished the bottle of wine, Yashnile who had a low tolerance too, was not already himself. Cailly, who was still sober but a little tipsy, headed to her room to sleep. 

Yazeno, who was not affected at all, carried Yanarym in a bridal position to let her sleep in her room but the truth is, he was planning to spend his night with her unconscious. He had come prepared and was determined to be with her during the night, he could do this the whole week while they were here at the island.. Restriction, etiquette, and morals at this moment can't stop him from snuggling and cuddling her all night.
