I sat on my bed and took my phone to text Benjamin, once after my brother left my room, after a heartwarming conversation. It wasn't heartwarming at all in the beginning, because neither of us were agreeing with each other, but it all turned out be an affectionate conversation we had in a long while. Thankfully, he didn't push me into confessing about what's going on between me and Benjamin.
The problem with my brother is that, he doesn't trust anyone; anyone who tries to hangout with me. But he wasn't like this to Harry in the beginning; maybe it's because Harry was his best friend's brother.
My thoughts, that were wondering about my conversation with my brother, flee at once, upon seeing that I have a message from Benjamin on WhatsApp.
I quickly opened his chat and read his message; he was apologizing to me about what happened tonight. He wrote that he's sorry that he wasn't able to defend me from my brother and called himself useless and stupid; he also asked if I'm okay.
I sighed after reading his message, which send warmth to my heart as I realized that he cares for me. I texted back, telling him not to blame himself, that I think it was a wise decision to stay silent before my brother, or else it would've been worse. Assuring him that I'm totally fine even with my brother, I closed the chat.
The next day, I woke up around eleven o'clock, due to the tiredness from a long day of my cousin's wedding yesterday. Bonnie and her husband Clyde were leaving to Paris this afternoon for their honeymoon, and I reached out for my phone to text her, wishing a safe trip; but when I saw Benjamin's message appear on top of the chats, I stopped there.
I'm glad you're okay, it makes me so relieved. You have no idea how much worried I was, when your brother dragged you with him against your will like that. It was nothing of your brother that I thought of, from what you've told me about but, I'm glad you two are good now. That's a good news for our relationship. We really need to tell our family about this, I can't keep this in hiding, love. I'm in love with you and I want to love you in freedom.
I'm counting on seeing you tomorrow at church for our youth meeting. Please, I want you to make it tomorrow, don't let your brother ruin it, I'm planning on a surprise for you, since you are leaving to Chicago on Friday. I hope to hear back from you soon, beautiful.
My cheeks began to hurt from the wide smile that grew on my face, reading the text from my boyfriend. I texted him back immediately, thanking him for his love and concern and promising him that I'll convince my brother at any cost to come to the youth meeting.
