Crazy Over You

📚 Chapter 14 📚

"Woah, woah, woah!" James yells as he runs behind me and uses me as a shield while Eros and the twins chased after him. The game is over, James team won and did celebrate but it was really quick as Eros was making his way towards him. James ran to the changing room with his things, quickly got ready, and we all met in the parking lot.

I did want to try to ease down the situation but the thing was that Eros was giving me the silent treatment and the twins were asking way to many questions then I can answer or have time to answer.

"What the fuck is this?" Eros questions.

"That what I was--"

"Cally, I want to hear it from him!" Eros demands and just like that, the twins are silent. "When Dennis told me that you kissed her--"

"Don't make it sound like he put his tongue into my mouth," I defend.

"He might as well from the shit I just saw." Eros points out and I remember that James told me that Eros saw us kiss. I'm not sure about Andrew or Aimilios but the fact that Eros is reacting this way has me a little worried.

"Eros--"

"Eros," James says as he steps to my side now. He takes my hand into his. I look at him in surprise but his focus was on my brother. I look back at my brother to see how angry he is. Eros is never angry without good reason and he would never be angry if I was ever in a relationship. At least, as long as my boyfriend doesn't hurt me in anyway but this is James, he knows James.

Is that the issue? Is it because it's someone he knows? My brother have teased me a few times about being single or needing to get a boyfriend. I once joked that I got one and it was relief around the house.

"You know first hand how much I respect you and your family." James reminds him. "You know how much I respect your sister." He adds, holding my hand tightly and I could feel that James is putting on a brave face but he's nervous. What I don't understand is why. This is just a fake relationship, I can handle my brothers. His relationship with my brothers won't be damaged.

"Eros, you know me well enough that I wouldn't do anything to hurt, Callista," James promises however, Eros sight went to me. He was like he was reading me, asking me how I feel about it.

"Cally?" Eros whispers. "You can't be in a relationship that you're uncertain about." Eros says as he switches the language in Korean just so that James wouldn't understand. "You'll get hurt."

I know I'll get hurt.

I know it very well but why are you telling me this? Wasn't it two days ago you told me that James would go any length for me? And now that I'm with him you're against it?

"Can you name me a relationship where no one gets hurt?" I ask him in Korean. Eros couldn't answer. He has never been in a relationship. He only writes about them. He has never liked anyone or fallen in love. He has only wrote about them. "Things get hard. They always will but what's painful in a relationship is a betrayal of trust. James would--"

"I don't care about James. I care about you," Eros interrupts. "I care about your feelings more than his. I can about you. You're my sister. And the last thing I want is for you to romantic something that you're uncertain about. Something that is hurting you just so that--"

"Eros, where is this coming from?"

I know my brother and I know something is bothering him and he wants to tell me but can't... No, he won't. Eros looks at me, observes me. Reads me. He then looks at James and then at our hand that's interlock. Eros closes his eyes for a second. I know that look, he's debating something to himself. Convincing of something. Trying to see the several steps that are to come.
