The Path Leads To You

Chap 7

"What a nice day ain't it."

I instantly opened my eyes when I heard a familiar voice.

"Yow!" He said as I squinted my eyes to look at him. Because he is blocking the sun for me I can not see his face clearly but I know who is it.

"Help me up!" I stretched my arms and he did hold them. Leaning back I put all my weight on my back.

"Weeee!" I exclaimed like a child as he tried pulling me up. I laughed when he did not manage to pull me up.

"You're so heavy!" He complained but he still managed to pull me up the second time. He even pats my back removing the dirt on my shirt.

"Let's go, I have something to tell." He said crossing his arms I looked at him with my eyes squinted.

"What?" He asked me when he noticed the way I looked at him.

"Desvon Roe Simon! What did you do this time?" I asked and raised my eyebrows.

"Come on sister you know your brother well, I'm not a jerk." He said. Yeah, as he said he's my brother. I have three siblings an elder brother, an older sister and a younger brother. Desvon here is my younger brother, so basically I'm the third child. Desvon and I, well I can say we have a better relationship than with my other siblings. Maybe because we have a little age gap. I'm only three years older than him.

"Tsk." I pat my pants and fix my ponytail. "How did you know I am here?"

He snorted, "I keep on calling you but you just don't answer your phone. All I could do was go to your apartment only to see Laureen kissing that guy named Jess, who's her groom-to-be." He looks like he's going to throw someone to the nearest cliff out of disgust.

I can only laugh and he rolled his eyes. Knowing my brother, his a bit bitter about relationships. Well, he did just break up with her girlfriend who is now his ex-girlfriend. I don't know what exactly happened but that girl suddenly didn't contact him for how many weeks. Then suddenly came back saying she didn't love him anymore and was now marrying someone else. My brother was surely hurt, imagine after the breakup that girl really got married. I've never seen that girl in person but I saw her pictures. He's my brothers longest girlfriend.

I stopped laughing when he kept quiet and just looked at me. "Ahem! So what do want to tell me? Or are you going to ask for something?" I crossed my arms and again raised my eyebrows. He only scratches his head.

"Hehe." He awkwardly smiled showing his teeth.

"What?"

"Can we go grab some food first, I haven't eaten breakfast yet?" He went on my back and started pushing me forward holding my shoulders.

"Fine, since I've done some exercise already."

"Oh? Did you do some exercise since when?" He asked as if he was surprised by what I said.

"Since 5 years ago," I answered and faced him putting my hands on my waist.

Putting his hand on his chin he looked up and down, he even went around me. "Really, why don't I see some changes? You do still look the same"

"Same what?"

"Fat!" He said and started laughing.

I kicked towards him but he dodged it. "Damn, you!" He just laughed and ran from me when I kicked him again. We both are running until we were out of the park.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked as were sat at a table.

"Is there some heavy meal, I haven't eaten some good meal because of my busy schedule."

"Just pick what you want then." I said and gave him the menu.

While we were both eating I asked him again.

"What do you actually need? I know it's not about the money because Tyller just gave you some and you're much better at keeping money than me." I eat some pickles and look at him. He looked at me and then scratched his cheek.

"Well, I need a date."

"A date?"

"Next Friday we have school party. It is required to have a partner." He explained.

"Why me?" I complained, come on I'm not the type of person who enjoys parties or gatherings. I get bored on those kinds of occasions.

"That is because most of the girls in our college have their dates and my other girlfriends have a boyfriend. Of course, I don't want to be a third party. So I could only think of you."

Desvon is now in his last year of college. He is taking engineering, which is a good thing for him because that is his dream.

"What if I said no?" He suddenly changed facial expression he pouted and tried making puppy eyes while clasping his hands.

"Oh come on. Please, please, I'll do anything you want. Just please agree to it." He begged to make me sigh.

"Fine." I calmly said and he kept on saying "Yehey!"

I agreed, what can I do? This is my brother who is asking. Since when did I ever reject a favour of his? There's none. Even when we were younger I still did his activities even though I complained every time, when in fact he was smarter than me, just that maybe my advantage is I am much more knowledgeable.

"Now lower your voice some people are looking at us," I said and he kept quiet but still had a wide smile plastered on his face.
