Cas slowly opened the door of Daphne’s room. She looked his way and smiled weak. Cas took that a ligtas sign and walked towards the bed.
“Are you still angry with me?” he asked careful.
Daphne shook her head. “No. Are you?”
“No” Cas answered, though that wasn’t completely true.
Daphne sat up and sighed. “Listen, Emmanuel, I’m sorry for the way I’ve been treating you”
“I know the reason and I understand” Cas replied.
“That doesn’t make it okay” Daphne said. She sighed again. “I’ve had some time to think and I’ve realized something. I don’t pag-ibig you the way I should. I pag-ibig you as a brother and that’s why I won’t sleep with you. I know I was unfair to you for blaming you, because you’re still a virgin. But to be honest, I don’t think you pag-ibig me that much either. Which is not a criticism, but if there’s someone out there you really love, I won’t stop you to be with her”
That act of selflessness took Cas sa pamamagitan ng surprise. She was willing to let him go? And Meg had called her possessive.
“There’s no one” Cas sinabi hoarse.
“What about Meg? She basically restored our entire house and we both know she didn’t do that for me” Daphne sinabi with a wink.
Cas looked at the clock. It was already 10:30 pm. What took Meg so long?
“You need to be somewhere?” Daphne asked.
“No” Cas answered.
“So, what about Meg? She has a thing for you, that’s obvious” Daphne said.
Cas realized, with a weird kind of pain, that Meg wasn’t going to show.
“She’ll have to get over it. She means nothing to me” Cas sinabi with a slightly trembling voice. “I’m staying with you”
