After checking in with Mark's help and assistance, all of us began changing into much more comfortable clothes in the rooms we're given with. In this suite, there's 4 bedrooms. Of course, I'm with Tabitha in this one bedroom. John, Jaime, Simon, and Andrew occupy the other bedroom. Jude, James, Thomas, and Matthew occupy the other. And the last bedroom is where Yeshua and Mark will sleep. Yeshua successfully persuaded Mark to stay with us here in the suite because it is so late in the night.
"I bet Yeshua already knew," said Tabitha while combing her hair in front of the sink inside the bathroom. "Oh, stop it, Tabitha. As I have told you earlier, I want to focus on Yeshua more and not have myself to like someone who… also… want to… focus on… Yeshua. I don't want to be the blockage to that!" I said to Tabitha as I'm putting my dress inside my bag.
"Okay, fine. Suit yourself but I tell you, I'll be the first one to say 'I told you so' when I am right about it!" Tabitha said as she walked out the bathroom holding her comb. "Ugh, fine!" I said defeatedly and I looked at Mark's coat on my bed.
Then, someone knocked on our door. I looked at it and saw Tabitha opening it. "Hi, there! Mark, right?" Said Tabitha, and I quickly took the coat off my bed and ran towards the closest chair to hang it there. "Yes. Uhm. Is Miss Maria done changing?" Asked Mark. Tabitha looked for me and when our eyes met, she smiled widely then nodded. "Yes! Yes, she's done changing! Why don't you come in if you want to say something to Maria," answered Tabitha following with an invitation.
Quietly, I gestured to Tabitha to cut it out but she did not look my way again. Oh, this woman!"No need, Tabitha," then Mark cleared his throat, "Miss… Tabitha, I just want to inform you both that Yeshua wants to gather you all, His students in the living room." Mark said. "Oh, okay. Thanks, Mark." Thanked Tabitha then slowly closed the door. "You heard your man, Maria, let's go," said Tabitha with teasing in her tone.
Did I hear her correct? "What did you just say?" I asked Tabitha. "You heard THE man, Maria, let's go," repeated Tabitha of what she just said. Oh, I'm sure that's not what she said earlier. But I let it slide.
Tabitha and I then walked out the bedroom and went to the living room. "Hey guys!" Greet Tabitha to the boys who were already in the living room and then she sat down on a sofa. "Where's Yeshua?" I asked then sat down on the floor in front of the sofa where Tabitha sat down. "We don't know." Andrew answered as he shrugged his shoulders. "Mark just called us out." Answered Thomas.
"How do you feel, Maria?" Matthew asked while looking at me. "I'm okay now. Thanks for asking, Matthew." I answered with a smile. "You don't have to worry about him anymore, Maria." Jude said, looking at me with a smile. The bartender's not… I sighed and nodded with a soft smile.
