Watch me Shine (bl)

36

The familiar black car pulled up in front of the villa. The watch guards observe every moment and steps the man inside is doing. The said man came out of the car and stood by. One could tell he was in a very bad mood. Skyler came out to welcome this man. This was their first meeting. And he hated to admit it but Kaia was indeed telling the truth. This younger looking guy was handsome.

The two men stood eye to eye, and everyone can tell they're not going to be very friendly with each other. Julian finally opened his mouth, "Where is he?"

Skyler - Relax he's upstairs. Why don't you come in first?

Julian - Stop making excuses. Bring him here now.

Skyler getting pissed off said, " I was asking you nicely and you just had to ruin it. Let me put it this way, why don't you come in or else I'll do something which I won't regret much."

Julian just sighed and went inside. It was already dark he just wanted to deal with this and go back. He had to find Kaia too.

Julian came inside and was made to sit in the huge living room. Skyler offered some whiskey. He had been drinking all this time and he seemed perfectly fine. He gestured to one of his men and soon Yui was brought down in front of them. Julian was NOT at all happy about this. He could see the tears on Yui's face. He immediately stood up wanting to lash out at Skyler.

Skyler - Hold on now. I bet you don't know the full story. We'll get to our negotiation.

Julian - what do you want?

Skyler - Simple I want him to pay for his crime.

Julian - what crime?!

Skyler - we'll get to that. First what I want. There's some people back home who hates me for something that HE did and I want him to come clean and apologize for doing what he did.....

Julian was just confused as to what Skyler was saying

Skyler (contd) - After that I want him to pay for the said crime "legally" and put him behind bars. Trust me I didn't wanna do that but I'm trying to become a nice guy here so I have to act like one.

Yui who was still in tears yelled, " ARE YOU MAD?! I said I didn't do it! My career will be over!....."

Skyler - SHUT UP!!

Julian still didn't say a word and looked at the man with long hair. All these talk only revolves around one thing this "crime".

Julian - i said what crime?

Skyler - He didn't tell you? How sad i thought you two were highschool sweethearts.... Fine I'll tell.

The look on Yui's face became disorted. He didn't wanna let Julian know about this thing. In Julian's eyes he just wanted to appear as that sweet and innocent boy who once fell in love with. There were many stuffs that he didn't tell Julian. Even the fact that he dated with his brother. So this was all heart racing to him. Sweating, panicking, everything that you could think of.

Meanwhile unbeknownst to everything happening upstairs Kaia looked through the basement as he was bored and he came across an old cd player. When he turned it on some old jazz music started playing and with the wine cellar he was having one of the best time.

Upstairs.....

Skyler - let me start by telling you how we were in bed.....

(After a while.....)

Skyler - so you see not only did he ghosted me he murdered my best friend, a father to my god daughter.

Julian hearing everything from Skyler couldn't believe it himself. Yui kept on screaming how David was alive when he left and that he had to do what he had to do. And everything went numb and he could only hear a ringing sound. He finally reacted when he heard the next line from Skyler...

"Oh did you know he also slept with your brother..."

J - What?

Skyler - I had the same reaction, what is he doing? I had to do some digging on you and found out that the guy he left me for was your brother. I mean isn't this so funny? And he left him for you.

There was one thing Julian hated more than anything and that is his father's other family. The so called first wife who always looked down on him and abused him and his "older brother" who bullied him from elementary to high school. He wanted to burn that family down. Julian's head was starting to hurt. Lately he has been so busy with work and this happened. It just added more stress to his mental health.

Right now he just doesn't know what to do. If this case was true then Yui would be a criminal on the run and that would end him. All he could think was one peaceful day back in Kaia's small apartment having chicken stew in the cold night.
