But the soldier paid her no mind. He took out the bed sheets from the closet and started making the bed.

He was done in no time. He made sure everything was in its place. It was only then that he bade Blair good night and headed to his room.

A few moments after Wesley left her room, there was somebody knocking at her door.

Blair, who was brushing her teeth at the moment, rinsed her mouth quickly and went to open the door. It was Niles.

He slipped in and closed the door behind him. Then he settled on the couch and asked her mischievously, "So, Blair, tell me, what were you and my brother up to tonight? Should I start calling you

*sister-in-Law'?"

Blair returned to the bathroom to wash her face.

"We went to the mall.

Don't bother calling me ‘sister-in-law, ' or anyone for that matter. I don't think Wesley is planning on giving you one.

“If he wasn't interested in giving me a sister-in-law, then why did he go out with you tonight?" Niles teasingly asked. To hear Blair more clearly, he moved from the couch to the bed.

Since he was in the comfort of his own home, he found it absolutely okay sitting or lying down on any furniture within their property. He rested his back against the headboard as he watched her wash her face.

"He also went shopping with Garnet. I bet you didn't know that," Blair told Niles while applying cleansing cream on her face. Her eyes were shut as she scrubbed her face clean.

“Garnet? That woman is strong as a man. Stay away from her. She is ruthless and fights Like a bull." Niles had once gotten into a fight against Garnet. He lost miserably.

Blair chuckled at Niles' tone.

"Well, she is a soldier. Soldiers are supposed to be strong and good at close combat. She and your brother would be cute together.”

“But she wouldn't stand a chance against my brother. Wesley can fight off more than ten men at once! He would finish Garnet Like a piece of cake." Niles then proceeded to play with his phone as he bounced his crossed legs. To make himself more comfortable, he simply lay on

Blair's bed.

Blair walked out the bathroom and saw Niles sprawling all over her bed.

She didn't mind, though.

"Have you ever seen your brother hit someone?" she wondered.

“Yes, me. He hits me a lot. I hope you two get married soon. Once you're his wife, you can ask him to stop bullying me."

Blair couldn't help but smile at the thought of the two of them marrying each other. A marriage with Wesley was everything she'd ever wished for.

“He doesn't seem like he's interested in getting a girlfriend. But since you want him to get married so badly, maybe you should talk to him. Convince him to get a girlfriend and propose. Maybe then I'll actually have a chance to be with him." The only mirror in her room was in the bathroom, so she headed back there to apply her lotion.

Niles rolled over on the bed and told Blair, “Stop worrying. If you just try hard enough, you might just win my brother's heart."

“Okay! I will try my best," she replied. That was what her mouth was saying, but her heart and mind believed otherwise.
