Chapter 5 (Naked)

Mom fixes what we ate. I helped her put away the dishes.

"Have you packed the things you are going to bring Ara?" mom asked.

Santi and I are leaving tomorrow for Sta. Rosa. I can only see mountains and buffaloes again. Besides, I miss my cousins ​​there too. Maybe I'll have fun there because the fiesta is near there.

"Yes mom, aren't you really coming?"

She put the dishes in the sink and faced me. "Daughter, I have to support this family. If I go on vacation we will not earn anything."

"Let me, I will also be a famous model someday."

Mom tousled my hair. I frowned and straightened my hair.

"Sure! Besides, I know how many people are flirting with you but the one I want is Saymon Ara. You have a good future because you are smart. "

I blushed suddenly. I missed this story with mom . He did not blame me for Anna's hospitalization.

The next day we woke up early to leave. I could still smell the dew all around and I could feel the chill on my skin.

Until now, my older brother and I still don't notice. He picked up one of my suitcases and loaded it into his pick up.

I was wearing a gray jacket while my older brother was wearing a t-shirt and pants.

"Be careful there children ." Mom noted.

Two hours before we reached the town of San Enrique. From town a few minutes before we entered the barangay of Sta. 

The grain is high. As before, it is being harvested. The green surroundings are light to the eye. Unlike Manila which is full of buildings here it is full of farms and trees.

"Are you hungry?" My older brother finally asked while parking the pick up outside Grandma Lourdes' fence.

I just shook my head.

Grandma's house is like those ancient houses we see in Batangas. Those were the Spanish times but this house of his was well taken care of.

It is up to two floors and large. The ground in the yard is wide and there are many vegetable plants around.

When the car stopped, many people immediately looked at it. This is exactly the case here in the province. When there is a new people, it is immediately popular.

"Oh Ara !!"

"Santi's handsome handsome!"

"Ara is really a big  girl oh."

I heard it immediately from my cousins . I adjusted my face and saw my cousins ​​screaming and barely wearing slippers to run with us.

I immediately smiled when they worshiped me with a hug.

"Ara! We miss you!"

"Hello Santi!"

They also hugged  Santi.

"You grew! " Santi smiled while carrying our suitcase. "Where is Grandma?"

"Inside brother Santi!" Lara replied as she rubbed her hand on my elbow.

"Gosh, why are you so tall and smooth  Ara! It's Really enviable!"

Lara laughed as Kathlyn amazed us. They are two sisters and Lara is ahead of Kathlyn for a year.

We have another cousin, Lance but I haven't seen him yet.

I immediately smelled the natural smell of the house made of solid wood.

"Is that Lior and Ara?" Grandma and put the bowl of food on the table.He call Santi's ,Lior because my brothers name is Santilior. 

"Good morning grandma ..." Brother greeted grandma.

Grandma smiled and looked at Santi with great comfort.

"You're so handsome, you're really young. You inherited from your grandfather who passed away."

"Not really grandma .."

Grandma looked at me and was surprised. "Ara! You really are a girl! Oh, come with me tomorrow I will introduce you to the children of my friends in town .."

My older brother carried the suitcases. "Grandma, can we get dressed first?"

"Of course son, in your old room still."

Santi and I have a room on the second floor. We were alone in a room with two beds.

The room still looks the same and places things inside. Brother put the suitcase and opened it.

I sat on the bed and also rummaged through the clothes I could wear.

"Brother, how is  Anna?" I could no longer restrain myself from asking.

One of his knees was on the floor and one knee was raised and one of his hands was resting on it while also adjusting his clothes. 

He looked at me seriously. I immediately averted my eyes because I felt like I was drowning again.

"She's healing at their home .."

"I'm sorry brother .."

"Will you come out later?" Instead he asked me a question.

I sniffed and nodded.

"Avoid Lando." He reminds me.

I remember Lando, his age, who was my crush here but he's nice.

"Lando is kind .."

He stand up and crossed his arms in front of me. My gaze landed on his bulging muscles in the arm.

"You're too Ara. When I say No, it's No."

"What if Lando gives me a flower again?" I will ask.

"There are many flowers in the field, I will cut for you."

I blinked and thought. "What if he invites me to the fiestival?"

"I'll take you to the festival Ara."

I bit my lip to hold back the grin.

"What if I like Lando brother?" I will tease you here.

"I'm here, so shut up!" Annoyed he said and took off the t-shirt in front of me without hesitation.

My two eyebrows rose at the beautiful view. My older brother's abs are also looks good. 

"H-huh??" 

He wore a t shirt and gave me a cellphone. My eyes widened when I saw this samsung cellphone!

"I already have a number there and don't plan to put Lando's number there clearly?" His tone is firm and serious.

"I'll just go out and unload the rice. Rest first .."

Until he comes out I still can't process everything. My heart suddenly pounded and I looked at the cellphone I was holding.

It was turned on and the wallpaper was the picture of my older brother and I hugging him from behind.

The trip made me feel viscous so I decided to take a bath first.

I also took a few minutes to take a shower and it was too late to remember that I was not carrying a towel. I was too used to our house that always get out naked from the bathroom.

I glanced at the bathroom door and looked around the room. Nobody...

I still wear panties but I don't have a bra. It is on the second floor so no one can see me.

I quickly ran out and looked for a towel. It's like I'm stealing money for doing this.

"Where the towel-"

I was stunned when the door suddenly opened. My eyes widened and I automatically covered my chest.

"S-Santi ..".

It was as if my heart was coming out of my chest in great shame and shock.

I feel like I want to be invicible now.

He did not even evade instead he even looked at my body. I do not know, if I am ashamed because my brother saw me naked or am I ashamed because he is my brother?

I was unable to move. I feel weak. He took the towel from the cabinet and slowly give it to me.

He only left us a few feet away and I could smell my brother's breath .

"Why do you always forget to bring a towel?"

I close my eyes and tighten the grip on my chest.

"Not always a-a"

"Always ..." He interrupted what I was about to say.

"How can you tell?"

He grinned and bit his lip.

"I can always see you running and getting towels in your room."

My cheeks got even hotter because that was true!

He came even closer and wrapped a towel around my naked body.

He grabbed my chin and lifted. "It will never happen again, understand?"

I nodded slowly. "Yes brother." I answered and avoided when he stared at my lips.

It seems wrong .. I don't know ..
