Victor felt Marcel stiffen beneath him when he said that and he braced himself for the explosion that was undoubtedly coming his way. And just as he expected, Marcel sat up at once and faced him.
His mouth opened and yet no words came out as if he was struggling to say the word. Nonetheless, Victor shut his eyes and waited patiently for his cousin to snap at him only to hear minutes later,
"Okay"
Huh?
Victor opened an eye first just to be sure that he heard right before the other one popped open and he stared at Marcel with wide eyes. What has possessed his cousin? Was this Marcel he knew or was another soul occupying his body? It sounded too good to be true.
"Are you sure?" He wanted to know if Marcel was serious about meeting his ex-girlfriend.
