Capital Letters Of Wild Heaven (ONC 2022)

CHAPTER 17

Marcelli Eirene Banasiewiez

Oren and I ended up laying on my bed as I began to tell him why the army is important to me. The carbonara was postponed. I very much admire him for giving me all of his attention, for staring at me like everything that will come out of my mouth is essential to his existence.

I'm on his lap while he is leaning against the headboard. The warmth his body is giving me makes me comfortable.

"People around us tend to ask if we're twins. We're only five months apart so it wasn't hard keeping up with him." I said, referring to my brother. "Our facial features, clothing style, foods, TV shows, toys. We always have the same interests. The only thing that we don't share the same interest in is passion." I looked into his eyes and I got myself a forehead kiss as if motivating me to continue.

"He always likes guns and the noise of it while I love colours and silence." I remember us in the garden as kids. He's wearing an army costume and going around acting he's on war. And me, I was just sitting in front of a canvas, painting my doll that is on the chair. "Our father was more than happy because his only son will follow his step."

"It was all settled. He'll go to army school where Father graduated but on his way there," My eyes closed as flashes of the past passed through my mind. Tears sting my eyes but I dare not to let it out. "He got into an accident. He never made it to his dream school."

Oren tightened his hold on me.

"Everything has become a mess. It was so sudden we couldn't accept it. With all the crying and shouting at his funeral, my eyes landed on his many pictures in frame and then his picture when he was a kid, wearing his army costume. All of a sudden I was motivated."

The man cupped both of my cheeks in his palm. "To continue his dream." He stated.

I nodded in response. "Father was against that idea. Though, he can't do anything especially when I'm at school already."

Oren lightly chuckled. "Yeah?" I nodded again, proud of myself. "You sneaky badass woman." He let out a chortle when I grimaced then turned his face serious. "So your Father made a deal to have a reason to kick you out?"

I sighed at the truth. "Yes."

"And you don't want to date me for that reason?"

"Partially."

"Partially?"

I badly want to tell him that it's because he never said back my confession but I can't bring myself to open the conversation about that. "My ex cheated on me." Perhaps, this is one of many reasons that is stopping me from giving all of myself.

"He cheated on you?" I shake my head yes. "He has the guts to two times with his kind of face?"

His reaction made me laugh. I can't help but push myself up and just give him a kiss that eventually turned into something sexual.

Oren is like a bullet that was shot to me. It's deep and painful. Honestly, it would be more painful once I took the bullet out of me. And blood will gush out.

"I'll miss it here." Oren said as he's gazing around.

We're currently in my walk-in closet, arranging and putting our stuff in our luggage. Four days from now, we are leaving.

"My house will not miss you." I nonchalantly respond.

I stand up to pick a bag on the upper cabinet and when I slide it down, papers in pastel colours slide with it. Oren immediately collected them.

"Love letters?"

I put down the bag and sat beside him to take a look. Oh, yes. I almost forgot about these.

"These are from my secret admirer when I was in junior high." I took one and open it. My lips smiled as I trace the letters on paper. It was all capital letters and was written quickly.

'Have I already told you that you're beautiful?'

The man was sure a sweet talker.

"You keep these?" Oren asked without taking his eyes off to the papers.

My eyes went to him as I heard his tone. It was like he's amaze and more.

"Yep, though I never got the chance to know him. He'll just leave this confession on my locker."

"I didn't know you like this clique things."

"Hey!" I snap at him. "These love letters are cute especially those capital letters. And atleast my admirer is not coward from writing his feelings for me. " Yes, I'm trying to say something here.

Oren shot me a look. "If he's not a total coward, he'll show himself."

Well, he got a point and so? "At least he gave me letters."

The dude keep silence for a second. "Does he have a chance if ever?"

I shrugged. "Maybe yes, maybe no. He's sweet. I might fall for him if he didn't stop."

"What if he's ugly?"

I gave him a look for his absorb question. "Face features are list of my concern. I mean, I did date a man with only had a good heart."

"Correction. You thought that have a good heart."

"At least I thought."

My ex wasn't really ugly-ugly but I fell for him for his attitude. Now that he cheated, everything to him looks ugly to me.

I look at Oren when I felt him staring at me.

"Yes?"

"Nothing. Let's continue this tomorrow. I'm tired."

I stretch. "Oh, yeah. And we're finally leaving m you've been a really headache for our month that passed."

"Now, we're dating."

"Shut up."

He chuckled. "Okay, little mama."
