Dark Gray

Chapter 4

His only wish was to keep her safe and loved like he did, those words uttered by my father were a devasting moment for me. I have always blamed myself for uncle joey's death, if I had been stronger by that time, I could have saved him. Even today those nightmares haunted me, I would wake up with short breath and sweat.

"If it's his wish, I'm fully submissive to it." I rose up from the couch, walked towards the door, before I could reach for the doorknob, my father cleared his throat loudly. "There is the plane ticket for you and Leo in the mail I've sent to your place. Also take her brother with you, he wants to explore America." I let out a little chuckle when I heard about Lucia's brother, then the cracking sound from earlier must have been him. I'm sure Leos gonna enjoy his little company. Leo was waiting for me in front of the car. He looked tensed fidgeting his hands, sensing the devil must be inside, I raised my eyebrows at Leo, he understood what I said and nodded his head. 

Leo was driving on the way back home. All the car was so silent, Jacque made loud noises while playing the game on his phone. I closed my eyes, laid my head back on the car seat, Lucias's face flashed before me, her face filles with tears, shaking Uncle Joey's lifeless body while the guards tried to hold her back. The next morning Lucia left the mansion, boarded the plane to America. A few years had passed by, she hasn't even returned once. By the time these thoughts filled my brain, Leo opened the door and nudged me awake. 

I looked at the passenger seat noticing that Jaques has already made his way to the condo. I stepped out of the car and headed straight to the mailbox. I checked for the plane tickets rapidly rampaging through other letters. Finally, I found a letter with gray family symbol waxed on it, opening it I found three first class tickets and a letter from my father. The handwriting was so messy, but I figured it out a bit. I paced to the lift, when I enterrd the front door, I noticed Leo had already started preparing for the trip. 

Jaques was exploring in the bathroom, much to me disbelieve he found the gift boxes I threw away. The condoms and lubes, those sluts gifted me. I gave them a perfect gift by drugging them to sleep with ugly men. Jaques opened the pink one and gasped, giving me a bombastic side eye, he made his way towards Leo. Jacques whispered something in Leo's ear which made him blush hard. Sometimes I feel left out with these gay guys. 

I rolled my eyes off and walked towards my office, I took out a little box out of the floor trap door. It was a plain wooden box with blood strains on it. It was my way of decorating when I was a teen. It was the blood of the first bear I killed, that was the first time I killed an animal which I loved so much. Just thinking about it made me feel weird, I opened the box and searched for a video cassette. 

I found it under a photo album, taking it with me, I sat on the chair. I started playing it, Uncle joey's laughter filled the room, it was the training time, Lucia wanted to compete against me. When she lost very badly, she kissed me and stomped off the training floor angrily. I laid stunned to speak anything, uncle joey laughed his heart out. He was so lively the whole day, narrating the incident to everyone he met. He didn't even spare the maids.  

I chuckled to myself and skimmed through the pages of the album. Small Leo taking care of Baby Jacques was quite a laugh, looking back, time had flown so soon. I'm meeting Lucia tonight, I never had thought about it before, and marrying her would be a great shock to me, I never deserved her, she was Doe in my eyes. An ugly poacher like me would have her hunted. Knowing she has a boyfriend now only makes me jealous, but I shouldn't let it ruin me. I went to change into my workout attire, as I walked into hall, I noticed Jacques and Leo holding hands looking into each other's eyes with such lust. I cleared my throat loudly causing them to break apart. "You two better not try something weird while I'm away. Cause I'll know if you do." "we'll try" Jacques looked at Leo and licked his lips earning a gulp from Leo, "not to do anything."

"Oh please. Don't try anything funny or I'll leave you behind." I warned Jacques before leaving for jogging. I ran for 20 miles before stopping by an eatery to pick up fried chicken. By the time I arrived back home, both were sound asleep, snoring through the loud music on the television. I turned it off and placed the fried chicken in front of them. Hoping the smell would wake them up. I decided to hit the showers, I stripped my sweated shirt revealing my sweated torso. I heard a little yelp but when I turned around Jacques had woken up and was gobbling up the fried chicken. I went to the bathroom, turned on the lukewarm shower and washed myself fresh. I rubbed myself in the towel and changed to my bathrobe. I jumped on my warm bed letting my drowsiness take me over. 

But thinking about the yelp, I heard before sounded so girly, I'll ask about it in the morning. Still for some reason I couldn't sleep, thinking about meeting her made me nervous for some reason. I heard laughter from outside, the fried chicken must have been eaten. Shaking my head, I tilted my head and tried to fall asleep for tomorrow would have a lot bloodier.
