Forbidden Desire

Toby

It's not the first time I hear that sentence leave Mother's mouth. But I still somehow feel the same nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach.

She is not my birth mother. Actually me and my brother were adopted by Carol when I was 11 and Toby was 1. We've gone through a lot of things as a family but we love eachother at the end of the day.

We may not look like hers but we are completely her children and I'm proud to say that.

Even though I still have this fear she might get sick of me and leave. Not like it has happened before but I worry. As I said before, it's not the first time she's gotten a call from school. In fact she's had plenty, this has been a loyal part in our relationship where I get in trouble and she always seems to get me out of it. She's gotten so used to it she lacks reaction to all their calls. As if it were part of the schedule.

"Something about you starting a food fight." She starts.

"I-uh well you see-" She sighs heavily and closes her eyes.

"Noelle."

"I know I know, I promise it won't happen again."

"You said the same thing last time when you stole the staff's chocolate fountain in one of the student councils."

"It was a revolution." I say.

"Noelle."

"Fine, I'm sorry. I'll try for it not to happen again." I reassure her.

"I appreciate your sincerity. But next time, I will ground you." She emphasizes.

"I know." I say defeated.

She nods and goes towards the door.

"Hmmm, Oh by the way please put your brother to sleep." She mentions, before leaving.

"Okay."

In my opinion that could've gone way worse. Yet I can't help but fear one day it won't be so easy and she will burst saying everything that remains untouched in the air.

I make my way towards Toby's room and position myself in front of the door. Before entering I got an idea. As I'm about to execute my plan I open the door just enough to locate the victim.

"Mr. Teddy, I am your father mwahahaha.' laughs Sir Polar Bear' narrates Toby from his bed.

'NOOOOO' screams Teddy in utter horror"

But Sir Polar Bear how come I'm chocolate colored.'' questions le Teddy."

"That's from your mom's side you fart knocker. Tch, always so judgy, you remind me of your grandma." Says Toby in an impersonated voice. While I'm trying my hardest not to laugh.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" I scream as I tackle Toby to the bed and start tickling him.

"AH! You evil bean stop this at once!" He says while laughing. \

"Okey okey i'll stop." I smile at him.

"But tell me what is this about fart knockers, chocolate colored teddy bears huh?" I finish while booping his little nose.

He giggles. "Miss Potato had an affair with Grizzly but don't tell Sir Polar Bear." He whispers to me as if he didn't want the toys finding out about our little scheme.

I dramatically gasp. "No way."

"Yes way" He nods quickly.

I smile at his demeanor. I pat his head and stand up. "You are spending too much time with mom and her friends." He just raises his shoulders.
