Let Him Love You First 92 Bro Talk 3

"Seriously you did that? Wow! Too bold of you!" Nickel told him everything from the start he saw her at the airport, to the wedding reception, how she instantly promoted and based here in the Philippines as Accounting Officer and on how he tried all the means to stop Michael from lurking and persuading Zoey. And let's not forget how he kissed Zoey in front of his cousin.

"f.u.c.k, dude! You're my hero! Did you know that when I stole a one kiss from Shane I received a h.e.l.l of a slap and one kickball? Dude! s.h.i.+t! You're f.u.c.king lucky Zoey didn't do something like that!" Leo was so amazed by his friend's boldness.

"It was out of my control, why I kissed her. I was already losing my patience to your cousin." Nickel was stopped in his mid-sentence when Leo interfere.

"Hahahaha! Now I know. Your flu wasn't because of the stress you had nor the weather change. It 'LOVE-NAT'. Bro, you have a lovenat because of the kiss you have shared. Hahahahaha!"

(AN: love-nat is wordplay for love-sick that Filipinos use. Fever in Tagalog is lagnat. Mixing it with love will mean fever due to lovesickness.)

(AN: is my explanation too difficult to understand? Send help!)

"HEP HEP HEP, ANOTHER THING! STOP CALLING HIM MY COUSIN. From now on, I will erase him to my family line and promote you as my official brother. Let's turn our friends.h.i.+p into the next level." Aside from giving his wife all the means to punish him, Leo made a decision that this man is the man that will save him from all the misery he may face if Michael will make Zoey cry again.

"Goodness! Leo! You sound too gay with that! If others will hear you, they will think that we are having a secret relations.h.i.+p here." Nickel cringes with Leo's own words. Well after a.n.a.lyzing what he had said he also felt disgusted with it.

"As I was saying, it was just an out of control moments when you're really annoyed with someone. I just want to show him that Zoey is not available for him but what can I say, slow-wittedness runs in your blood, bro."

"Wait for a second, are serious with Zoey, because if you don't. Please stay away from her. If Shane knows about it she may file a divorce because I'm acquainted with you and Michael. Geez! 'Bros before hoes' are their friends.h.i.+p motto."

"You think I will waste my nine years with someone I am not committed to being mine?" Nickel replied with an are-you-serious face.

"Well, after all, you're right." At the back of Leo's mind, he wanted to ask Nickel on how was it like to kiss someone you have been in love with, but he was too shy to utter a word. He thinks that Nickel will beat the h.e.l.l out of him if he opens that topic.

"So what's your plan?" he asked instead.

"Plan for what?" he innocently asked. Nickel was already lost from all the topic Leo presented to him. One minute they are talking about his boldness, next is his cousin twice removed, now plan for what exactly is he talking about?

"Earth to Nickel! We are talking about Zoey, aren't we? So, I'm asking what is your next plan in making Zoey Mrs. Fuentes."

Actually, it always overwhelmed Nickel whenever he thinks that Zoey will be his future wife, the last Mrs. Fuentes in their family. And with his transparent facial reaction and expression, his face and ears easily turn red.

"What the f.u.c.k!? Why are your ears turning red? Are you imagining something dirty there?" It is one of Nickel's rare treat since he was a kid. If he is lying, his right ear will turn red, if he is embarra.s.sed about something, his right ear will turn red.

But during their p.u.b.erty stage, Leo discovered that when they are talking about something dirty or s.e.xual, either because of the shows they are watching or the game they are playing or books they are reading. Nickel's ears instantly turn red. Not just a simple red but tomato red.

"f.u.c.k dude! If this crusade is just your l.u.s.t stop it. I'm telling you those four are not easy to deal with. They can make your life a living h.e.l.l once you mess with one of them." Leo gave Nickel a fair warning.

"I'm not thinking dirty! I have a fever for G.o.d's sake!" His thoughts are not dirty but will turn into one if you are someone's wife or husband. You are matrimonially allowed to procreate. Same with what the bible says, go forth and multiply.

With these things in his mind, his ear becomes the reddest color he ever exhibited.

"Hold your horse, Nicanor Fuentes."

The two continue discussing Nickel's plan until Leo received a text message from his wife.

"My wife is looking for me. I guess, see you next time lover boy! Message me if you need anything else." Leo bids his goodbye.

"Yeah! Sure!"

"Love-nat usually last for five days. Maybe tomorrow you'll be fine." And then he leaves his room.

Nickel, on the other hand, after Leo was gone, he dialed the guards' office and informed him about his guest.
