You Are Mine

So after their wedding, we packed our things to move to D City. Grandpa refused to go with us and I did not have a choice but to go.

Upon arrival at the airport,there were 3 luxurious cars waiting for us.Dad and Celine went into the red sports car.Dad tried to take me with him but Celine stopped him saying that I can take the 2nd car while the 3rd car was for our baggage.Dad was hesitant but I smiled at him and did a thumbs up so he wont be worried.

Soon, the red sports car left. I ignored the pain I felt from how Celine treated me. I turned around to get into the car without noticing that someone was at my back.

"Oops", I said realizing that I bumped into a hard chest. I looked up and saw a stern face looking down at me. I stepped back a few steps away to be able to see his face because he is way taller than me.

I was fifteen and I already know how to appreciate the opposite sex. He is handsome yet he looked scary. He exudes the aura of a king. His deep-seated eyes caught my attention. His eyes are mysterious and seems to be able to look deep into someone's soul. I felt magnetized by his eyes.

"Do you like what you see?", he asked with a smirk on his face. I was about to say something but I decided not to. I was kind of scared by his presence. I just stared at him blankly. I started to feel my face becoming red from embarrassment.

"Hi there, I'm Jolo and this is my big brother Joseph. Welcome to D City and to our family", said a young lad who came from behind this man called Joseph. He was wearing a welcoming and friendly smile. His eyes glistened when he smile. He has the same features with Joseph except that Joseph is taller than him and kind of masculine with a very manly aura. Jolo has a softer and boyish aura.He looks the same age as me. At fifteen, I was a bit taller than the others in my age group but when compared to Joseph, I looked so short. I cant help but throw glances at Joseph who looked so serious and impatient.

I smiled at him and replied, "Im Christine, nice to meet you". I glanced at Joseph and saw him gazing at me as if he was scrutinizing me. I smiled at him meekly but I only got a blank stare. "he is not friendly", I thought.

"We have to go now", Joseph commanded and walked toward the car.

"Yeah lets go, we'll have a chat on our way home", Jolo said.

"He is not in a good mood", Jolo whispered in my left ear, held my left hand and led me to the car. He assisted me getting in the car, he was gentle. Joseph went to the driver seat while I and Jolo was at the backseat. Jolo was a blabber. He asked so many questions like how old I am, where I studied and what are my hobbies.

"I'm sixteen and big brother is 22. He just graduated from college and now he manages the family business", he said with a smile.

We got along instantly. He is like a brother to me. We both like listening to music and and watching movies. He makes me feel welcome. Although Joseph did not say anything but he made me feel me like I am always under observation. He did not verbally reject me but did not welcome me either. His expression was blank and he was silent all throughout the ride to their mansion.

"Well anyway, at least I have Jolo. I wont feel homesick at all", i thought while stealing glances at Joseph.

Jolo took his phone out and played a song and we started to sing along.

"I found a love for me

Darling just dive right in

And follow my lead" I sing along while holding a bottled water like a microphone.

"Wow, your voice is angelic", exclaimed Jolo and and sang along with me.

Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own

And in your eyes you're holding mine....

"You can sing well", I told Jolo.

Jolo smiled and said " I play guitar, I will teach you".

"I would love that", I smiled.

We continued to sing, not noticing how gloomy Joseph's face was.

"Hey, we're almost there. I'll give you a tour later", Jolo happily said to me.

"Really? Aren't you busy?", I glanced at Joseph before replying to Jolo.

" Not at all, its school break and there is nothing to do at home" he said.

" You have to go with Dr. Mendez and help him with Princess' delivery", Joseph said in a cold voice.

" I thought you said you will be helping him?", asked Jolo.

"I have something more important to do. Besides, she can have a tour later, " he said, looking at me from the rear view mirror. I can see something flashed as our eyes met, but quickly disappeared.

"It's ok Jolo, we can do it some other time", feeling upset with how Joseph is to me. " I have a name you know", I silently uttered.

"Alright, I promise you, I will give you a tour", Jolo assured me and casually put his arms around my shoulder.

"Who is Princess?", I asked him in a low voice.

"Oh, she's one of our horses and she is about to give birth", he whispered back.

At that instant, I can feel his stares at me which seems like daggers piercing my skin. "What is wrong with him?", I thought to my self.

"You have horses?", I exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, and we will do horseback riding", Jolo replied happily.

"Really? Promise?"

"Promise"
