And as we all now gathered in one room… "So Mark is your boyfriend." Philip said. I quickly looked at him and opened my mouth but no words were said. Yeshua then chuckled and looked at Philip, "They're still not yet together, Philip." Yeshua corrected Philip. "Oh. 'Not yet'. Got it, Teacher." Philip replied then he winked at Him. 'Not yet'? What do you mean 'not yet'?
"'Not yet'?" Tabitha repeated, then quickly looked at me. "Look. I just met the man last night!" I answered defensively. "I get it now." Philip said, making me look back at him and saw him with a smirk. "Get what?" I asked. Then the boys began to murmur to themselves. Since when did they have their own world?
"Andrew, dude. You still have my clothes in your place?" Philip asked, changing the topic. The murmurs of the boys stopped and Andrew looked at Philip. "No. I throwed it all away." Andrew answered while looking at Philip with his squinted eyes. "Oh! So the shirt you've been hugging from time to time was his." Thomas said as he pointed at Philip while looking at Andrew.
Andrew then was about to attack Thomas but Jaime and John were quick to hold him down. "I told you not to tell anyone!" Andrew said to Thomas as he tried to escape from the JJ brother's hold. "You even have his clothes in YOUR house!?" Simon asked Andrew. "Oh no." John said while still holding Andrew. "Jude! Matthew! Hold Simon!" Jaime said while still also holding Andrew.
Jude and Matthew then quickly grabbed Simon's arms to hold him down. "So this is what You've been dealing with for the past weeks." Philip said as he watched the boys trying to stop each other from wrestling each other. Yeshua sighed, "Yes, Philip. Yes." Yeshua answered as He nods slowly while also watching the boys.
"I do hope this wasn't going to be a long ride." Tabitha said. All of us who were not involved with the shenanigans of the boys were watching them. "How long do you think this fight will last?" James asked. "Longer than the fight in the van?" Tabitha answered. "This won't last long." Yeshua answered.
"Hey, Maria. I'll give you back this coat as soon as I changed to a more… decent clothing." Philip said. "Oh. I don't mind." I replied to Philip. "I think your future boyfriend does. With those glares that he kept giving me in the rear view mirror…" Philip answered, then he shivered. "He's not my boy—" I tried correcting him but was interrupted. "The Lord's words, not mine." Philip interrupted as he raised both his hands in defeat.
"There you have it, Maria. It will happen sooner or later." Tabitha said. And… yes. While we were having a conversation here, the boys kept going at it. Yeshua chuckled. "Wait. You like Mark, too?" James asked. "Why are y'all keep telling me 'too'? What? Do y'all also like Mark?" I was irritated. "Chill, girl. As far as I remember this is the first time James asked." Tabitha said as she held my hand.
I sighed. "I'm sorry, James." I apologized to James. "I-it's alright, Maria." James replied. "My friends, I'll just be outside." Yeshua said as He stood up. "Where are You going, Teacher?" Philip asked as he looked up at Yeshua. "Seek… and you will find." Yeshua answered as He walked towards the door and went out.
"Where is Teacher going?" Simon asked as soon as the door shut. Then we saw them like a frozen tableau. "'Seek… and you will find'." Philip repeats the words that Yeshua answered him. "Do I look like I'm joking!?" Simon asked, irritated. "That's what Teacher/Yeshua really said!" Tabitha, James and I said in sync.
