Damn and here it begins😦

My hands rested against the wall as water ran down my body. I had finished washing my hair but I couldn't move. Recalling last night hearing that the man I had seen when I was a little girl, he had nearly killed my father, now back.

Of who Felix really is, of who I'm really dealing with. A world I didn't ever think of existing to me. Abruptly the water turned hot making me jump back. Turning off the water taking that as a sign to get out. Draping a towel around me as I put some things in my hair and dried it. Putting something regular as I wasn't planning on going out today.

Looking for my laptop and a calendar as I left the room and walked to the table I had. Laying my things down hearing a sizzling sound, I shot my head up to only freeze. Once again a shirtless man in my kitchen.

I could get used to this if I'm being honest.

" Ya know, for someone that fake loves me, you do love to get comfortable around me" Hearing him laugh a bit and turned to me. It looked as if he had a proud smile as he cooked.

" yet you did say to get comfortable around here so who's at fault." I stayed quiet knowing he won that so I shrugged. He hummed at that as I walked over to him. I wasn't close seeing there was oil spitting out.

" genuinely, I didn't think you were a cooking guy, plus the shirtless effect. Doesn't it burn you" i genuinely asked

" well, it's either I starve, or smell like food. I choose nether. So sit down it's almost done" he chuckled I stayed silent not knowing how to talk to him now. Not after he saw me cry.

" Felix, tell me...if I didn't ask, would you have told me?"

His head slightly turns to me to show he's listening. I can see his muscles tightening but he still answers.

" No. It is safer to not know, but I couldn't let you cry. I don't know you front and back and for you to cry like that..you're never persistent on something."

" Will I see him again" I whispered out, yet he somehow heard

" I don't know Serina. We can never tell with these bastards. All of them are after money and power, and I have access to that, and for them to get that...they need something close to me."

" And what if they get me-"

" Serina, eat. At least eat before all of this. You had a long night last night, including week. Plus a dinner to go to tomorrow night." He stated

I hummed as he served me a plate and we both walked to the table. I didn't know what to do so I switched between my food and laptop. I could feel his stare so I stopped and handed back.

" what are you doing?" His mouth slightly full of food I rolled my eyes at his behavior and went back on the laptop. " just editing something. I'm almost done, I need to add these last words and it'll be done." I answered

He didn't say anything as I continued with my rotation. I zoned into my work, it had distracted me from all the bullshit being dropped on me.

" we're going to go visit my brother...we're meeting him outside" My head spun to him. My eyes widened as I could only keep my mouth slightly opened.

" you're brother!? Wait Felix—"

" I know I said I don't want to mention things, but I have two brothers...they will be at the dinner too. So you'll meet the youngest of us."

" wait...are you the second oldest" I smiled to him

He rolled his eyes and sat back. " yes sweetheart, so whenever you're done get ready to go out. I have to change too. Also he's a bit...much"
