Just killing time

Chapter 12

"What the f**k are you doing to her???" He screamed walking toward the bed. I looked to Markos who was still above me, ignoring his brother and smirking. My mind dozed off wondering what will happen now? Will they start a big fight? Will they hit each other? Is it my fault? Why is Markos doing this? I had a lot of questions running through my head but when I came back to the real world I saw Kim grabbing Markos and throwing him on the ground. I glanced at Kim as he pulled me off the bed and made me stand behind him.

"Sooo the little, tiny, kiddo is worried about his girl?" He said with a very sarcastic tone as he stood up. "Or wait. Maybe he isn't? Maybe he's just jealous and hoped he could be the one doing that to her." "SHUT UP!!" Kim then knocked him down with one punch, though Kim doesn't look as strong as Markos. Markos stood up again "Her touch, the smell of her perfume, the beautiful features of her face and most importantly the taste of her lips -" Kim threw a punch to his face this time making blood flow from his mouth, it looked very painful.

I don't why but Markos wasn't fighting back, he wasn't even trying to avoid Kim's punches, he was only trying to tease and annoy Kim to punch him more and more.

Markos stood up again trying to wipe the blood off his face "we were just about to-" I cut Markos "STOP!! You know he is going to punch you so stop" "You too Kim, it's not worth it. Just leave him." Neither of them moved an inch it's as if I was talking to the walls or something.

I stood in front of Kim, his eyes then were piercing mine "Kim, he is your brother, you guys shouldn't be fighting and specially over me. He didn't even touch me because you were here in the right time so just leave him and let's go. Please, it's not worth it." I said trying to ease the atmosphere around Kim. Kim stayed looking into my eyes for a few seconds and then He nodded, put one hand on my shoulder and guided me out of the room.

We stood in the kitchen for some unknown reason before Mrs.Marie (Kim's mother) entered. "Hi kids," she greeted with a sweet smile. But before I could say hi to her Markos entered. "Oh my god!! Markos what happened to your face? Who did this to you?" She said as she rushed to him. Markos stayed silent for a moment and then looked at Kim. Mrs.Marie then knew it was Kim who punched him. " Kim!! Kim O'Brien!! Haven't I told you before that things can be solved with discussion?! Haven't I warned you not to hit your brother!!?? Haven't I?!?! " Mrs. Marie yelled as she started walking to Kim. The echo of her voice filled the room and Kim just looked at the ground. I then glanced at Markos to find him smirking like a devil. That little bastard, he was just having the most painful expression on his face and now look at him and his smirk.

"Mrs.Marie, it was Markos who is wrong, he did something bad toward me and Kim, he-" Kim cut me by telling me "it's okay, you don't have to say anything." "But -" I wanted to argue him for stopping me but his eyes are filled with pain, so I just stayed quiet. "What did he do?" She asked Kim but he didn't answer. She repeated the question again but with a higher voice "what did he do ??" "You wanna know what your son did?? He was physically harassing her!!! If it wasn't me who stopped him then he would have done it, he would have f**ked her mom!!" he yelled. I don't know how it came out like this but well I guess he isn't in a good situation to use his words wisely. His mom then looked at me and asked concerned "did he really try to do anything?"  " yes," I paused "but nothing happened, he didn't umm how do I say this, he just pinned me to the the wall." I added quickly. Pinned me to the wall?? Oh my god I am soooo embarrassed right now. Mrs.Marie turned around and walked toward Markos and slapped him "I am so disappointed in you." she paused, "you are grounded till the end of the week," and then she called Kim to talk to him.

Kim followed her out of the kitchen as I stood motionless looking at the floor. A few minutes passed and then I felt Markos walking around. I tilted my head up to see him taking the first aid box out of the cupboard, and looking at me with such a pissed off look. He stood in the same position and then looked at me and said "come here."  " What???" I asked. "I'm not going to bite you, I only need your help with the first aid."
"Why should I help you?" I folded my arms .
"Because you're the one who got me punched up like this, if you weren't so hot and if you weren't here in the first place Kim wouldn't have hit me."
What he said wasn't convincing but I couldn't just leave him bleeding. "Fine, I will help you." I said as I walked up to him.
He got on the kitchen counter and placed the box next to him. I took a towel which was on one of the chairs "can I use this?" I asked. "Yeah," he answered. I soaked the towel with water and then gave it to him." What am I supposed to do with this? " he asked furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at me.
"Eat it"
"Excuse me??"
"Oh come on, like why would I give to you. Just wipe the blood off your face with it," I threw my hands in the air trying to make my point.
"You do it. You got me like this, you do it."
I gave him the WHAT look and he just started a staring contest with me. After a few moments I gave up, I'm not so good with these staring contests.

I took the towel and began cleaning the blood, he was a lot taller than me while sitting on that counter so I had to look up to see his face. He had a perfect jaw line and long eyelashes, his face features were beautiful unlike his soul. I applied one of the hygiene that was in the box and then he started "ouch, ow, hey, hey watch it," he squeezed his eyes in pain.
"Sorry, but it has to hurt." I said with a soft voice.

Before I finished and while I was cleaning his left cheek, he smiled at me. "What is it?" I asked as I looked at him, his eyes now piercing mine and his head a small inches far from mine. "You're weird," he spoke.
"Excuse me??"
"I hurt you but you still helped me"
"Well that's not being weird, that's me being normal I guess."
"Normal?" He asked. 
"Yes, I wanted to kill you a minute ago but well you're a human and humans make mistakes so let's say you just made a mistake," I paused "and you will never make it again. So it's okay to help you."
"Kill me and then help me?"
"Just forget it," I said before putting everything back into the box. I turned around and before I could take a step forward he grabbed my hand. I looked at our hands and then at him. He just stared at me trying to figure something out.

I pulled my hand from his and then walked to the door where I saw Kim standing, he didn't look at me but he said to Markos that his mom needs him.

Kim sighed and then looked at me "Diana" he finally said. "Come with me." 
I followed him to his room and there we sat on his bed.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Don't get near him too much, he is a freaking jerk. He will do anything to you just to hurt me."
"To hurt you?" I asked confusion invading me.
"Yes. You don't know him, you don't what he did to me before. It's not like this the first time. He always ruins things, he doesn't like to see me happy. He hates me. He made my life a living hell." He paused and ran his hand through his hair  he didn't punch me back because he wanted mom to think that he is the innocent one, he always made me seem as the big lair,my mom didn't always believe him but there was part of me who knew that if I wasn't her son she would. It has been always like this. I wanted to stay back in America but I couldn't because I knew that if I stayed there, I would stay with him."
"I'm sorry I didn't know that."
"Don't be, it's not your mistake anyway. When Markos isn't here, mom, dad and I seem like a perfect family . But when he is here everything just turns upside down. He is a devil in a form of human, so please don't get close to him." he pleaded in the end.
"I will try my best to not get close to him at all, okay?"
"Okay."
