Love is the Sunshine

"Yeah. Sean is right, Carla, even a child has a bigger insight than you. Couldn't you be more open-minded?"

Terence looked at Sean appreciatively. It looked like his future brother-in-law had so much potential. After all, Sean conveyed his thoughts in a more sensible manner.

A vein popped out of Carla's temple. That was it. These two were getting on her nerves. She balled her hand in a fist and pounded on the dinner table.

She barked, "What the hell you two are doing?

Sean, a 10-year-old kid shouldn't be worrying about marriage especially mine!"

Then she turned to Terence, "And you, mister, just because I kindly let you stay here doesn't mean you can do anything as you please! Just stop talking nonsense. I'm done!"

With that, Carla stormed off as she went to her room. The two boys jumped up a bit when she slammed the door.

Terence shrugged and wrapped his arm around Sean's shoulders, "See? Girls get really shy and when they get really shy, they get irritated. From now on, we will only keep this to ourselves. Got it?"

Sean nodded in agreement with determined eyes.

He chirped, pumping his fist into the air, "You are right, Terence!"

When Carla had gotten back into her room, she plopped down on her bed and stared at the ceiling.

Carla was starting to smell something fishy about Terence. What did Terence want from them in the first place? It wasn't like he only stayed because he planned of keeping Sean company.

In order to avoid going out of her room and seeing Terence, she decided not to shower until it was very late.

She glanced at her cellphone. It was already 10:30PM.

Thank God! She couldn't wait any longer! She changed into her pajamas and crept out of her room.

She took a peek and sighed in relief when she saw no one at the living room. Maybe Terence was in Sean's room.

She tiptoed to the bathroom and noticed that the light was still on.

"Anyone in there?"

She asked but nobody answered from inside. She thought probably Sean forgot to turn off the light again, and so she turned the doorknob and went in.
