"You guys are like dating now?" Adonis's acerbic tone roared like a thunderstorm piercing through my ears, his eyes sight parked on mom, expecting her to criticize me and have me sit for hours for lecture but she didn't even look at his face.

"What? Mom, you aren't doing anything?"

"Really Don? You really won't mind if I talk about Al-" he cuts me off.

"Oh come on, you know I like Phil, he lets me drive his car and he's cool, he's a big guy." He laughed it  off before I rolled my eyes at him. He knows what he's doing.

"Just shut up, just know I'm not going to contribute any money if you bash his car "

"I won't. Duhh, enemy of progress."

"Don." Mom's stern voice made him shut up but he shot me a look, not wanting to let it go. He doesn't want to back down.

"So u guys are gonna be doing the kissing stuff?" He asks when we enter my room, mom already hijacked the TV remote from us so he just followed me to my room, he probably wants to disturb me and ask everything about me and Phil. Silly boy.

"Don't ask me, like u haven't kissed Leila before." he might not have but I had to say it to hear what he would say about it. Hehe, do me, I do you.

"I haven't actually, like she would even accept. I have to ask her out then, baby steps I guess, I don't mind tho " he says taking long strides to my window.

"You don't mind? Adonis? Come on man, you're still gonna end up toying with the poor girl's heart."

"I'm not gonna do that." He gritted his teeth, ''for the last time quit saying that "

"Come beat me then."

"What's that?" I jumped from my bed trailing his eyesight that was on my textbook, not really the textbook but the sheet that was hidden in theiddle. How come I didn't notice that? Prolly cause of me and Phil lovey dovey and all that jazz. He took another step but I stopped him.

"No, no no… don't. I jerked him, pulling him on the bed before he gorans.

"Calm down sis. You didn't have to pull me that way " he criticized massaging his right arm. Note; gonna rip the hell out of that threat sheet again, I know that was what it is, thank God Adonis wasn't nearer.

"You should have just broken my bone then." He whines.

"Not yet, I still need you to do something with that arm for me. And besides if I break your arm, all your chores would be pushed to me, and I don't like stress, you-"

I shut up when he was smiling ear to ear and I prayed that his lips would tear.

"Just say that you love me and you don't want me carrying a cast everywhere I go.'

"No, I do not… I'm not admitting any shit, o
do ur worse."..

"Sure you do not, ur eyes says it all.. anyways." He walks to my door, "you won't mind a movie night with mom tonight aren't you.. it's almost eight?" His eyes landed on my clock.

"It's stopped working, it's still seven bro." I waved it off, gotta get new batteries.

"Oh, buh you should come downstairs by eight sisty-'

"Oh please don't, you have no idea how weird and foolish that sounds when it comes from ur mouth."

"Because I'm not Phil?" His voice rose but not in an aggressive manner. I slapped my forehead.

"Sheesh Don, it's not that, just don't call me that again."

"Sure, just make sure u come back downstairs by eight, sisty!" He yells before rushing outta my room. I sighed, burying my face behind my head. He sure has to collect an award of being the best lil brother in the world.

Quickly, I snapped my head from my palms and rushed to the desk where the paper sat between my textbook. I slid it out before my eyes caught the thick red ink similar to that of blood, prolly his blood cuz he's a psycho.

Red flag, red flag.

Red flag? No, no no, I quickly sat on my bed with my eyes burning the paper like what I read wasn't what was in there. What did I do again? I didn't tell anyone.. I clenched the drum called chest before my eyes saw the 'calm down sis' written on it. I. Shot up from my bed, calmed down sis.. oh my God, Adonis.

That's what he says. I rushed out of my room, to his room to check if he's there, if he's hurt. I can't let anything bad happen to him even I he's a pain in the a** and acts like an idiot.

I tried turning his door knob but it refused to open, Shit shit! I pounded on his door. "Adonis! Adonis, please open the door!" I screamed out my lungs. Oh my God. I ruffled my hair when he hadn't opened the door. Nothing should happen, please. I pounded on his door again but no response. Oh no,this is a bad, bad red flag. Out of blue, the door creaked open while I quickly jumped the culprit.

"Calm down sis, what's up?" I relaxed when I heard his voice.

Calm down sis. That's giving me trauma.
I finally pull away, taking in the sight of him, he was shirtless with a towel hung on his waist

"Why did it take so long for you to open fool?"

He extends his palm out, "isn't the answer in front of u?" He shakes his head, "you couldn't calm down, I was just having a shower before I get downstairs to prepare for the movie niiiight" he emphasized on the movie night before giving me his annoying wink. He's so full of himself. He thinks he's fresh and cool when he does that.

"Are you hurt?" I asked, trying to get my breath back.

"Yeah" he whispered before that feeling rose in my chest again, "you called me a fool again." His hand went to his chest before I clenched my teeth.

"ARE YOU A FOOL DON?" I really wanna slap this guy, hard.

"What's going on here and why was I hearing screams from downstairs?" Mom barged in, eyeing everything in the room before her eyes fell on us.

"Adonis, what did you take from your sister again?"

"Seriously mom, you always assume I took something from her whenever she screams."

She gave him that no joking look before he looked down for some seconds and back at me.

"It's just her shampoo, mine already-"

"YOU TOOK MY SHAMPLE?" I belted and my pronunciation of shampoo went wrong thanks to my teeth that were now gritted, all credits to Adonis

"It's shampoooo." He corrected me, giving me a grin which later turned into a frown. "I'm sorry, mine finished and I forgot to tell mom. So please, forgive me?" He pulls on that irritating, sad, innocent face again like he is feeling emotional. "I'm really really sorry, sis."..

I ball my fist Adonis!

"Mom, you see what Adonis is doing again." I complained.

Mom folded her arms, shaking her head,"I'm fed up with this habit, You need to stop taking things from your sister and young lady you should learn to also keep your things." She criticized me. Wait, isn't it Adonis' fault? Sure, she isn't gonna blame him for it!

"Mom."

"I'm going to check on your dad, you two should behave " She exited his room leaving me with Adonis who kept stealing glances at me with that look still printed on his face.

"Quit looking at me like that, gimme when you're done."

"When I'm done? You can just give me… it's just a sham-"

Before he could say anything I gave him a hard slap close to his shoulder making him groan. Yes, that.

"You're welcome." I forced a smile at him before leaving his room finally, screw him! He's a- he's a- ughhhh. Adonis… I marched to my room, banging my door shut.

That stupid threatener wanted to put me in hot seat, idiot, stupid, jobless goat!

I dreamed in frustration, punching my pillow in anger. Finna strangle someone. I checked my phone to go through some things on it, prolly to ease my frustration.. It was already eight and Adonis would soon bring his ass over and tell me his movie night shit and I know he wants to be in control and hs going to choose anime over watching movies. That guy is just…
