Jay Jay pov:
Mom set the dishes down, the smell of adobo and lumpia filling the room.
"Eat before it gets cold," she said warmly.
Ci-n immediately lunged for the lumpia, only for Eman to smack his hand. "Hey! At least let me serve it properly. Respect the chef."
David laughed, piling rice onto his plate. "Respect the chef? Ci-n respects food more than anyone here."
"Exactly," Ci-n said proudly, already chewing.
Aries sat across from us, still glaring at Keifer. "I'm watching you."
Keifer rolled his eyes, sliding an arm around me anyway. "Relax, Aries. I'm just here to eat."
Felix raised his glass dramatically. "To Section E -chaotic, legendary, and forever hungry!"
Everyone cheered, clinking glasses and digging in.
I looked around the table-at the laughter, the teasing, the warmth-and smiled.
This was family. Loud, messy, and perfect.
While we were eating, Keifer slid his hand onto my thigh under the table.
I shot him a look, whispering sharply, "Take your hands off me."
He leaned closer, smirking. "Can't."
My cheeks burned instantly. "Keifer..." I hissed, trying to keep my voice low so no one else would notice.
Of course, Ci-n glanced up mid-bite, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. "Why do you two look guilty?"
I quickly grabbed my fork, pretending to focus on the food. "We're not guilty of anything."
Keifer chuckled softly, his hand still stubbornly in place. "Relax, Jay. No one's paying attention."
Felix, ever the joker, pointed his spoon at us. "Correction: we're always paying attention. Section E sees everything."
The whole table erupted in laughter, and I buried my face in my hands, wishing the ground would swallow me.
Keifer only grinned wider, whispering in my ear, "Told you I can't."
The table was already loud, but once Keifer refused to move his hand, I knew it was about to get worse.
I shot him a glare. "Keifer, behave."
He smirked, whispering, "I am behaving. You're the one overreacting."
Before I could retort, Ci-n leaned across the table, mouth full of rice. "Why do you two look suspicious? Don't tell me you're playing truth or dare under the table now."
Felix nearly choked on his drink, laughing.
"Oh, Ci-n, if they were, we'd all know. Section E has ears everywhere." He tapped his own dramatically.
David pointed at Keifer. "You're too smug. That's how we know you're guilty."
Aries slammed his spoon down. "I knew it! Keifer, hands off my sister!"
Keifer groaned, leaning back in his chair. "Why does everyone think I'm the villain here? I'm just trying to eat dinner."
"Eat dinner?" Drew snorted. "You look like you're trying to eat Jay."
The whole table erupted in laughter.
My face burned as I buried it in my hands.
Eman, ever the peacemaker, slid a plate of lumpia toward me. "Here, Jay. Eat before Ci-n steals it all. Ignore them."
Ci-n immediately reached for one, only for Eman to smack his hand again. "Seriously, Mayo, let her eat first!"
"Fine," Mayo grumbled, stuffing rice into his mouth instead. "But if she doesn't finish, I'm taking it."
Felix raised his glass again, grinning. "To Section E-chaotic, nosy, and forever legendary!"
Everyone clinked glasses, laughter spilling into the night.
And despite the teasing, the warmth around the table made my heart full.
After dinner, everyone started to leave.Aries went to drop Ella.I got to know from Aries that that rooster went to japan because of some work. We bid goodbye to them. I was exhausted my wounds are still aching. They have not healed fully.
"Finally," I sighed, collapsing onto the couch. Mom, Keiren and keigen was already gone to sleep.Kuya has some work that's why he will stay at his condo.
Keifer chuckled, dropping down beside me. His arm draped lazily over the backrest, his eyes soft as he watched me.
"You look exhausted," he teased.
I groaned, burying my face into a pillow.
"Dinner, dares, teasing, Aries yelling at you... it was a lot."
He laughed, leaning closer. "But admit it-you loved every second of it."
I peeked at him from behind the pillow, lips twitching into a smile. "Maybe."
He kissed me gently, lingering just long enough to make my heart flutter.
"Let's go and sleep," he whispered, his voice low and tender.I nodded. After some time Aries come and asked why didn't we go to sleep till now I said we were going then he come. He just nodded.He went upstairs to his room to sleep
Me and keifer together we climbed the stairs but he is stubborn and picked me up in bridal style.
" Keif What are you doing?" I squeaked
" Just taking care of my queen" He said teasing me.
" This much buttering will take you nowhere Mr. Watson " I said teasingly.
" Oh really Mrs. Watson not even a kiss " He said while leaning forward for a kiss.
Our lips me met.We were going upstairs while kissing hungry like we hadn't just have dinner. We reached our he pushed open the door and pulled away and put me on bed. He locked the door. I know he want to do that but can't because of my injuries.
" We will continue when you will get fully healed " He said teasing me. He went to the washroom then I heard bell ring rung .I went downstairs to open the door and saw my self obsessed brother grinning like he had just won the award.
