I tried to ask AJ again but he refused to repeat what he'd said. He just said to me "Just think about it," and then left me alone.

I can't get to sleep that night. I kept on thinking about what AJ has told me. I couldn't believe it. Skye is in love with me? It can't be. It really, really can't be. How could he in love with me? He never for once shows me that he felt such a thing towards me. He never looked at me the way a man should look at the girl his in love with. I can't recall any moment that he will look at me with lovey-dovey eyes. I only remember he look at Jess that way but not at me.

I could read people's face and know what they felt. That's why I'm able to be a match-maker for almost everyone in school, because I know whether they really like each other. Am I missed that look on Skye? Or am I over look about that? I asked myself.

If AJ is telling the truth, how long has he been in love with me? Since high school, before we went for the vacation or after I left? All this questions keep playing on my mind.

I looked at the watch and it showed that it was already 3.00 am. I need to go to sleep and stop thinking about it, I told myself. The only way to find out the truth is by observing Skye. Maybe all this while, I have overlooked at his character towards me. I've decided tomorrow, I will start to observe him, to see if there are any signs AJ telling the truth.

"Wake up mommy, wake up," Nate shaking my body the next morning. When he saw that I did not budge, he climbed on the bed and started to jump up and down making the bed shook. "Wake up, mommy, Skye will be coming soon."

"Stop, please," I grunted as I tried to reach for my watch on the table. I looked at the time and it showed 7.30 am. "Aw, Nate, it's still early. It's only 7.30 am. Go back to sleep."

"No mommy," he whined, "I want to be ready when Skye arrived. I don't want him to wait."

"Skye won't be coming so early," I protested. "Go back to sleep. We'll be ready when he arrived."

"How do you know? He said he will be early to fetch us," argued Nate. When he saw me still did not budged, he whined, "Mommy, please, wake up. I want to get ready."

I looked at him with sleepy eyes. He pouted his lips and looking at me with pleading eyes looking so cute, just the way Skye look whenever he did that. I can't help but smile. Nate not only has a photocopy of his dad face but also some of his character.

I pretended to act as if I'm thinking making him pouted more. I couldn't help but let out chuckled, "Alright, I'll get up but first you must give me a kiss."

Nate immediately smiled, "No problem mommy," and kissed me on my both cheeks.

I hugged him and asked, "Do you love me?"

He pretended to think and I immediate tickled him making his laughed loudly and pleaded, "Please mommy, stop, stop. It's tickles."

"Not until you tell me you love me," I demanded and continued to tickle him.

Between his laughed, he said, "I love you, mommy. Love you so much."

I stopped tickling him and smiled, "That's my baby. Now let get you into the bathroom." He smiled and immediately jumped from the bed and walked toward the bathroom.

Skye came to the house at 8.00 am and Nate smirked at me, "Good that we wake up at 7.30 am, if not, Skye have to wait for us." I just rolled my eyes.

"Morning Nate," greeted Skye when we opened the door. Nate immediately ran towards him giving him a tight hugged. "Missed me already?" Skye asked him.
