Hey guys! Sorry for the very late upload for the chapter 10 of my lover, my brother..it's just that i have a lot more other stories to update..
Chapter - 10
Saturday. The day me and James are going to that bar to have some amateur first gig. Hope, we won't humiliate ourselves in front of a big audience.
" Chris, are you done? '' James hollered from his room.
" Not yet, James. I'm still fixing my hair. " I hollered back.
" Okay, okay. Just be fast. " James reminded and I just made some ehmm noise.
I wore down my hair in a messy type and sprayed some deep blue on it and braided one side of my hair. I want to look a little agressive and confident, while I sing later in front of the crowd while James make the music. I brushed off some wrinkles off my dark blue dress and stepped on my gold Converse high cut. I applied some blush on on my face, some lipgloss on my lips, mascara and eye liner on my eyes. Guess, I'm ready now.
I grabbed my shoulder bag and went to James room. When he saw me, he dropped the shirt he was holding.
" Chris? Is that you? " He whispered. His eyes were narrowed down on me and his mouth was twitching in a smile that I loved.
" Yes. Why? Do I look stupid? " I muttered and arched my left eyebrow.
" No! No! You look...." James trailed off as he walked towards me. Closer. Closer.
" What? " I uttered stupidly as I stared in his gorgeous, green eyes.
" You look beautiful. " He whispered as he took me face in his hands and stared into my soul.
" You always say that. " I said.
" I know. But you look beautiful..like a full grown woman. " James said and he grinned.
I smacked his arm gently and I laughed.
" You are kidding me. Stop it, ye know. " I said.
" I'm not kidding you, love. " James said and his face went serious.
My heart fluttered like a crazy bird and I fidgeted a little.
James had call me love. Yes, of course. because I'm his girl friend. And at the same time, sister. Little sister. Our love for each other is not acceptable in the society and is completely a taboo. It is forbidden and not right. But we love each other so deeply that both of us were afraid to let go.
" Chris. " James said and he leaned down on me.
I closed my eyes and formed a silent word on my mouth.
" James. "
With a quick move, James captured my lips on his and I kissed him back. He tasted of mint bubblegums and grape juice. I raked my hands through his hair and he held my waist. He pulled me closer to him as we kissed and kissed passionately and gently. I'm fifteen kissing my sixteen year old brother inside his room, the door was opened but there was no such thing to be afraid of because our parents are not here. I felt my knees went jell-o and my heart looks like going to explode.
I broke the kiss because i remembered we still have a gig.
" Later, James. I love you. " I told my brother and ran down the stairs.
" I love you more Chrisle. " James whispered and I smirked.
I sat on the doorstep and after a few minutes later James was downstairs.
" Let's go! " James said. I nodded and we set off to Kweezy Bar.
When the taxi pulled in the drive way of the bar, my brother and i got out and then we went inside the bar.
My eyes traveled around inside and saw people drinking, laughing, having fun and some were lsitening to a band playing on the stage.
I raised a brow on James but he grabbed my arm already and we went at the backstage.
" i'm scared. " I complain and James scowled at me.
" oh shut it out Chrisle. I'm here with you. " James said in an annoyed voice and I made a hurt face. He saw it quickly.
" Sorry honey. Sorry. " James muttered.
" Did you just call her honey? " A rough, friendly voice sounded from behind us, James and I turned around and saw a guy in his twenties wearing big shirt and black shorts and an enormous cap. A DJ.
" Yes. Why? " James asked, snickering.
" I thought she's your sister. You two looked at lot like each other. " the dj said.
I bit my lip and what's worse was JAmes snaked his hands on my waist and he pulled me closer to him.
" She is my sister. " James said.
" Honey? And what's that? " The DJ said as he pointed at James' hands on my waist.
James shrugged and I smiled at the DJ but he just chuckled. Then he shook his head.
" You're playing next. Get ready. " The dj said and he turned away from us.
" What did you do? " I said in gritted teeth.
" Nothing. " James said simply and then he moved his face closer to my mine.
" What are you doing? There are too many people here. " I said in a hush.
" So? " James said and I felt his warm breath on my face.
I just glared at him and then he planted a soft kiss on my lips. The people who were with us at the backstage cheered like there's some basketball game going on. It felt like five seconds in heaven with James lips rested on mine.
Instead of snapping at him I smiled like a jerk. James laughed.
The dj came hurrying towards us and said that it was already our turn.
James and I went at the bright lit stage and two spotlights rested on our beings. DAMMMIIITTT!
" Ladies and Gentlemen, the next band to entertain us... Forbidden Laws. James and Chrisle Kirth. " The dj introduced us and we received an applause.
Wait! Forbidden Laws? Is that our name? Well it suit us, being lovers and at the same time.. siblings.
James strapped the guitar on his body and in a second, we were ready to rock the stage.
James and I practiced a lot of the All yours song by Metric and this is gonna be our first song for the evening.
I cleared my throat and prayed to God that were gonna do fine.
BLAM. Then I began to sing as James made the music.
Other lives always tempted to trade..
Will they hate me for
All the choices I made
I can hardly hear the strums of my brother coming from his guitar because of the applause and claps and cheers and whooping noises from the crowd. I smiled at them. Was that how my voice can really touch them? Is my voice really that good?
This is going to turn out okay..I suppose.
