One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 192: The long wait is over

"Congratulations, bro," Dale said, patting his best friend on the shoulder. "Thanks, dude," Luke replied with a huge grin.. "Finally, the long wait is over!"

"Yeah, finally,"

"Make sure to take care of sister this time," Dale turned to me as he continued seriously. "She may be the most stubborn woman you would ever meet on your journey and even though we are not as sweet as other siblings out there, she's my sister..." And then turned his gaze back to Luke. "And I love her,"

"Aww..." I subconsciously put my hand over my chest as I was surprised and touched at the same time by what my brother had said.

"And I won't just sit still this time if you ever cheat on her again. Yeah, we may be best friends and treat each other like brothers, but if you hurt her again, I swear to God to chop your balls into pieces and bury you six feet under the ground!" "Whoa!" Luke and I had the same shocked reaction at the same time.

"You know me well ever since we were teenagers and you also know that I never go back on my words. So don't worry because I love your sister and what I did to her will never happen again. I have already learned my lesson and I will never do anything like that again. I will never do anything to destroy my family."

"Alright, I'm just reminding you, dude, not just as your best friend and her older brother but as a man. You know, I'm already married man and I now understand how painful that thing will be if you do it again."

Luke was about to say something but Jack suddenly interrupted him as she tugged my arm and asked me to come with her.

"Eherm, uhm... Luke, do you mind if I borrow your fiancée for a few minutes?" she asked and Luke nodded with a chuckle.

"Yeah, of course, just please don't forget to give her back to me later." he then kissed me on the forehead before letting my hand go. "What about me--- don't you want to borrow me too, babe?"

I couldn't help raising an eyebrow and halted when Dale asked her wife you know... a nonsensical question... just to get her attention. "Nope, no need!" She raised an eyebrow too. "And I don't want to!"

"Ouch!" he pretended to be hurt much to my annoyance.

"Tss!" I huffed, giving my brother a 'what the heck' look.

"You're mine and you've been mine for a long time so, why need to borrow you?" she winked and I swear, I felt like all my bones and my whole body shuddered, especially when they shared a sweet smile enough for the bees, bugs and ants to feast. "Argh!" I grabbed her hand, motioning her to look at me. "Shall we? Before the annoyance and envy get to my bones and kill you both!"
