Chapter 4

"What's with Jasper?" I asked Mom while we were eating breakfast. It's one of the very few times when Jasper's out of my sight. When he's on official duty, he's always around. Come to think of it, I think I never saw him going to the comfort room!

He's seriously getting weirder and weirder!

"What do you mean?" Mom asked.

"I mean, what's with him? Why'd you choose him as my bodyguard?" I asked. I really didn't want to ask Mom anything because I was perfectly aware about how nosy she could get, but it's not like I had a choice! Jasper wouldn't say a word—and even Evan's mum about anything Jasper related. Evan's one talkative guy, but he wouldn't tell me anything about Jasper!

Maybe he's convinced that I was trying to drug Jasper...

"Why not? He's perfect for the job," Mom replied.

"Is he a marine... or navy?" I pried.

Mom eyed me. "Siobhan, what did I say about Jasper?"

"What? I'm just curious!" I defended myself. Why was she always assuming that I was going to jump Jasper's bones? That guy's silent as the lamb! Might as well talk to the wall!

"You better be sure, young lady. It's hard to find someone as qualified as him," she replied before giving me a look that told me that I should really not think about doing anything.

My mom really didn't know me.

She just made me want to do a lot of things.

Right after breakfast, I saw Jasper again.

"Morning," I greeted. He just nodded. Dull boy. "I just received a text. I need to be at Batangas for three days," I informed him. "Pack your clothes."

Tumango siya. I already packed—I mean, I was always packed. I grew up traveling, so I just always had a bag prepared for whenever.

Habang naghihintay, I sat and quietly waited for Jasper. Nakita ko si Evan sa labas, may kasama siyang dalawang lalaki. God, bakit hindi ko agad napansin na maraming strange guys sa bahay namin? Or baka naman nasanay na lang talaga ako na strange guys ang mga kapatid ko kaya hindi ko na talaga napapansin iyong ibang mga tao?

I figured that Jasper would probably need a few minutes to decide kung ano ang dadalhin niya kaya naman lumabas muna ako. Evan was talking to the two guys when I decided to greet them.

"Hi!" I greeted.

Evan and the two guys stood up straight and faced me. I was seriously surrounded by dull guys. Hot—but very dull.

"I just got a call from my manager. I'll be staying at Batangas for three days... so... I think you should pack your bags, too?" sabi ko sa kanila.

"Already finished, Ma'am," Evan replied.

"Talaga?"

He nodded. "Jasper already notified us."

"When?"

"A few minutes ago."

"Paano niya nalaman?"

"Your manager told him."

"What? He has contact with my manager?"

Tumango lang si Evan. Jasper's starting to be really creepy! May mga bagay na alam lang talaga siya!

"Anyway, did you give him the medicine last night?" tanong ko kay Evan. Jasper was a real hard nut to crack! Talagang hindi siya uminom hanggang sa makabalik kami sa bahay.
