Kiss My Threats

Chapter 03

There could never be a day, just a single day, without me not sighting this letter, on the same spot, in my room. No matter how much I always get tempted not to read it, he or she always finds out... and I don't know by what means. But I know it's crazy to be watched.

And the next thing I always do was the same thing, it had turned into a routine, get up from bed and notice the little sheet dangling at one end of my books or at the middle. I turned the paper into a ball after tearing every word apart that could break me, my walls. Every word scripted in it held sorrow, backwardness, dim. All was my mom was opposed to, she tries her best in making me leave my room and associate like I do before and listening to the letter that says...

Heeding mommy advice? Laugh my bone off, I'll just try to clench my shaking fists to strangle you from your sleep my lil' babes in the wood.
Remember what happens between us, stays between us.

It is not hard picking one side, if I actually think about it. But the words are becoming so threatening and scary. I feel like I am subjected to opposing mom's opinion on my moving on.

When I heard some muffled familiar voices from outside my room, I hurriedly made a basket with the paper and continued to brush my hair which was what my mom caught me doing when she opened the door.

"Morning love, how was your night?"

"It was better." I replied to her, dropping the hairbrush and focusing more on her.

"And the nightmares? Are they still frequent?"

Her eyes held so much curiosity in them, care, concern and positivity. She looks so pure, she really is what one would call a mom, my stepmom. And I'm so proud of that.

"No." That sounded so short and disinterested. I didn't imagine my voice to be that sharp. "I mean, they are gone. They... all are I guess, your words are working... tranquility is home."

That makes her smile at me, "glad to hear. Head downstairs for your meal, you would have to manage Adonis's pancake trial for you/the pancakes Adonis made for you." She sounds impressive with the way her cheery voice reflects throughout every 90 degrees of my room. I felt a flutter in my chest, is this playing? Adonis? Cooked for me? It doesn't even sound real in my head.

It took time for me to clear up my doubts, what this meant... it is obvious they want me to get back to my old self, I miss me too. I don't even know how to act not normal again and those notes are only making it worse for me. I don't want this current, depressed Lucian that cuts everyone dead.

"That's incredible, I'll be down in a few."

Slow as molasses in January, she shuts the door.

Who knew Adonis is going to wake up this early and cook for me.

I spent some minutes giving myself some pep talks to start my day, I tidied my room up before I beat it to the kitchen.

"Adonis." I spot a dark spiky haired creature with his back facing me. He was in a maroon turtleneck, complementing his dark blue jeans. My guy was busy doing something when I called him, he spun to me. His eyes that match mine look at me when I smile. That smile was for him.

"I can't get over the fact that you thought of your sister, you made me breakfast." I rejoiced.

I expected mom to be down here but she isn't, she would probably be with dad.

The pancakes stole my eyes from where it sat, in all its syrupy glory, it looked so enticing and attractive, did he really make that? Or with the aid of YouTube videos or what?

"Wow, I'm still finding it hard to believe that you made me breakfast, you really care that much. Oh my God."

I buried my face behind my palms, faking too much enthusiasm when the person I was feeling proud of was just staring at me with so much boredness in them like he was waiting for me to be done with my episode.

"Cool down sis, mom had promised to renew the WiFi/router." He tries to hide his face by not facing me and I could imagine him attacking his red lips right now.

"So? At Least you made me breakfast which means that you thought of me." I annoyed him the most, I also missed this... so many things.

I dig in. Still not believing that he made this, "so whose channel did you watch this from?"

"What?" He scrunches his nose, confused. Okay...

"I mean the YouTube channel."

He rested his palm at the edge of the counter, before he pointed to himself, "you just heard me say the wifi is exhausted and our neighbor's network is really bad, critical-"

"Hmphh.." I immediately stopped chewing when I felt that familiar pain on my tongue.

Adonis chuckled at me, just because I bit my tongue while savoring his pancakes. Although it was too sugary, it was okay.

"So how was it?" He finally sets his lips on a bright smile at me, badly wanting to get his review. I returned my eyes from the pancakes to him, though still chewing it after recovering from the aggressive bite.

I met his gaze on me, attacking his lips... he was so fond of that.

"You added too-"

"It's okay Vi, I knew you were going to complain about the sugar. My bad."

"Don, you were the one that asked." I retort, wiping the edge of my lips with the napkin I saw on the table.

"Gross, why did you use that?" He screwed his face up, again, in disgust while he eyes the grey fluffy napkin that was in my hold. I immediately stopped what u was doing and made a quick look at it, then at him.

"Is there anything wrong in wiping my lips Donny? You've started again."

"No but there's something wrong in using the napkin mom used the clean the edges of the sink/counter-"

"WHAT?" Long gone was my sotto, honeyed voice as I threw the napkin back on the table. Grinding my teeth at him, "why didn't you tell me since!"

His grin widens this time like he finds it funny, "another episode for the day." He sang before sliding through the kitchen door and escaping.

I restrained myself from throwing the napkin at him. Why did he have to ruin my morning?
