Chapter 51: 51
She straightened her posture and she looked at .
“…co eat with us! You must be tired. I’ll introduce you to everybody.” I continued.
Her body relaxes and I saw her tired face, she must’ve been driving for a few days. As I walk towards the pool area where we eat, I noticed that she’s keeping a distance of exactly an arm’s length behind .
“Great. I have a chaperone now.” I said sarcastically in my head.
The rest cos to eat and they all gave surprised looks at her. I introduced her to everyone and the kids are starting to circle over her.
“Wow~ Sky! Her hair is gold! So pretty!” Aya said.
The other kids also exclaid as they pointed at her.
“It’s called blonde.” I said while Aya slowly nodded.
I handed her a plate and even though she was about to refuse, the growl on her stomach says it all. She blushes for a mont as she accepts the plate.
Kaley is next to though she gives a weird expression.
For our breakfast, we have scrambled eggs with eggplants and banana ketchup for the dipping sauce. It is paired with fernted fish paste and eaten over rice. They also made coffee for everyone.
Kaley nudged at to look at Tatiana and we were both amused. She ate very voraciously, a strong contrast from her look and her na. My aunt happily gave her seconds which Tatiana also devoured.
“Did she have no food on the way?” I said to myself.
She looked at and she said, “Is this all of you?”
“No, we have more people still on their own houses. We’re gonna clear the last stretch today so we could focus on rebuilding the place. We…” I told her the plan and she listened very attentively.
As we finished eating, I said, “Rest for an hour guys two teams of three later will head inside while four people stays at the road. First team will be , Kaley and Tatiana. Second will be Oscar, Mark and Jared. The people waiting at the road will be Jenny, Dong, Zardon and Arnel.”
“Allan, get Nicole and Alicia. Have them take Jenny’s place for watch today. Just radio in if anything happens. Tell them they can’t co today since we need more people guarding here.” I concluded.
Russel raised his hand then he said, “Dad said I can co with you guys today.”
I looked at my uncle and he nodded.
“Okay, stay with the group on the road. The squatter area has tight spaces and we need to move with a small number inside while a few stays back at the road in case sothing happens. The houses there are just built very randomly and with very light material so watch your step and always keep your eyes open. Rest up yeah?” I said as I finish my cup of coffee.
Raphael walked towards and he said, “Bro, Oscar said you have so work for ?”
“Yeah, can you mount an M134 to that SUV over there? We’d like it to co up from the roof window and could be attached and detached at will. Also, Oscar said that he’d like the guy to be manning the gun to be able to turn but I’m asking if it would be possible to be operated from the driver’s side so it could rotate 360°?” I said.
His eyes widened but he places his hand under his chin and he began to think. “It’s theoretically possible but I’d need more data let see the gun and the SUV first, asure the dinsions and make a blueprint for it to see if it’s feasible. It’s gonna take a few days but it’s possible if we have all the tools. I’ll make a plan for it first bro, okay?” he said.
“That’s great, tell if you need anything.” I patted his back.
I then looked for Tatiana and I saw her a few feet behind . She seed to have finished eating and she’s awaiting her next set of orders.
“Tatiana, you could pick anywhere you wish to stay, we still have a few rooms available.” I said.
“Okay sir, I’d like to stay closest to your room as much as possible for your security.” She said.
“Oh, okay then, it’s safe here though. Can you bunk with soone?” I said.
She nodded.
I looked for Rin while Tatiana followed close. I saw her still eating with Olivia and Kaley as they talk. I approached them and I said, “Hey Rin, we’re talking about our room assignnts. You said yesterday-“. Then she cuts .
“Of course, Sky, I-” she agreed already so I cut her too. Yeah, I’m still immature after everything else.
“It’s decided then, Tatiana will bunk with you.” I concluded.
*choke*
“Ghrk!” I saw Rin choke on her food and then she began to cough. Olivia handed her a cup of water and she began to stabilize.
Rin looked at Tatiana and then at . Tatiana gave an understanding look and she said, “I understand if you’re scared of from what you’ve seen earlier. I just did that to test him.”
“Well if you say so, we could I guess.” Rin said.
“Okay, that settles it, I’ll be in the first room Kaley and Olivia in the second-” I said as I was cut again.
“Sorry for interrupting, but I suggest to be next to your room.” She interrupted.
“Why though?” Kaley asks, she seems to be a bit annoyed.
“Orders from the higher ups. I must ensure the survival of the person nad Sky. Any threat to his life must be dealt with accordingly. Also, I’ve sworn to carry his burdens and follow his every command.” She explained.
“Then why do you keep on interrupting ?” I said in my head and I still sense that she’s hiding sothing from that sentence.
“Fine! I’ll stay in Sky’s room, you at the next one then my sister and Rin on the third, happy?” Kaley said as her annoyance is slightly showing in her voice.
Tatiana looked at her from her head to her toes and she said, “That works for , are you his partner then?”
“Yes! I am! Are you interested in him?!” she silently shouted.
Tatiana was taken aback and I said to myself, “Why is she getting jealous now?”
“Miss Kaley, you must understand, your partner is a good-looking man, strong too and very intelligent, but I don’t interfere with anybody’s business until I was told to. Also, just an FYI, I’m not interested in a romantic relationship with anyone though I go both ways with the flesh.” She gave a smile and she winked at Rin.
Kaley cald down for the mont though she blushed at the remark while Rin is red through her neck.
“Just as I suspected.” I said to myself.
“I believe this to be a fine arrangent and I hope we get along really well, well so of you I hope much closer.” She said.
“Oh boy.” I said to myself.
“I hope to get closer to you too.” Olivia said.
Tatiana’s eyebrows raised and she patted her shoulder, “Young lass I think you’re getting the wrong idea.”
Realization dawned on Olivia then she began to be silent, though her eyes are wide open.
I looked at Kaley and her lips are pursed to a smile and I’m not sure at what she’s thinking. Rin guided her to her room and I helped on bringing so of her gear up and I cleared a cabinet for Kaley.
“So, we’re sharing the sa room huh?” she said.
“Yeah, I snore though just a heads up.” I said.
“I know, I move around a lot. I might hit you; I doubt you could dodge them in your sleep.” She said with a smile.
