《Breaking the Guardian's Curse 》Chapter Twelve
The kiss lingered for a long time and it took a while for Chad to get himself and when he did, he pulled her away from him. "Are you out of your mind?" he asked her before looking around, trying to find if anyone was watching but he found no one.
"Why can't you accept my love for you, Chad?"
"You are like a sister to me."
"And so is Phoebe." She cuts in.
"I never said I am interested in her."
"You don't need to say it. It's obvious."
Chad had to calm himself before speaking because he was scared he'd say words he didn't mean and instead of making things better, he'd make them worse, so he kept quiet.
"What do I need to do to make you love me?"
Chad was about to reply when Phoebe walked up to meet them. She was so happy to see Gwen but when she looked at their faces, she could tell that something was wrong. Chad decided to leave them so they could sort things out while he watched from afar.
Phoebe walked closer to Gwen and took her by the hands and said, "I am sorry for hurting your feelings, Gwen. I will do anything to make up for what I did."
Gwen pulled her hands away from Phoebe while looking at her. "You said you'd do anything..." Phoebe nodded. Gwen folded and arms and used the opportunity to ask her, "Can you stay away from Chad?"
Phoebe was shocked at the question so she asked, "What do you mean to stay away from Chad?"
"I love Chad."
"And I love him too as a brother, I can't just stay away from him Gwen."
Gwen didn't bother replying, she tried to leave when Phoebe grabbed her hand, stopping her from going any further. "I'll..." she paused.
"You will what?" Gwen asked.
"I'll stay away from him." Phoebe agreed and Gwen hugged her.
"Apology accepted then." She held her hand and took her to meet Chad who was very happy to see that they had both worked it out.
"How am I so happy to see you girls back together." He said while hugging them.
Phoebe had to fake a smile just so Chad wouldn't notice. How was she going to stay away from Chad was something she had no idea about but she wishes Chad stays away from her instead.
"Let's go in, shall we?"
They all went inside the house.
