ABYSS OF ANGUISH 💔

CHAPTER 12.

I don't know why but Carex has been ignoring me ever since I kiss teased him the other day. Why is it even a big deal anyways? It's not like I haven't done that to him before.. I've tried calling, texting and anything I could think of but I never got to him. I tried calling Yusuf but he also didn't pick up so I decided to go to their place to check if something was wrong.

"Hey Lisadora right? Uhm...honey I think now is not a good time for...*let her in*" thankfully Yusuf cut in before his mother could turn me away. "Why is there something wrong? I asked as I got inside and headed upstairs with Yusuf to his room. "Not really... Just having some quality family drama.." he stated as he rolled his eyes. "Oh.. where's Carex then? That bitch has been ignoring me.." I complained.

"Care isn't feeling well." He replied. "Oh my God is he okay?" I asked worriedly. "Yeah, thankfully.." he replied which got me quite relieved. "Where is he now?" I asked. "Resting... and I prefer you don't wake him up because it took me like forever to get him to sleep..." He said of which I just nodded obediently. "Hey can I ask you something?" He asked looking pretty seriously. "Yeah knock yourself out..." I replied. "Who am I to you?" He asked which got me pretty nervous.

"Uhm...my friend?" I replied. "Just a friend?" He replied looking pretty disappointed. "Well... You're a bit more than that.." I added which kind of made him a bit lightened up. "So assuming if Care and I are caught in a fire and you can only save one, whom will you save? Me or him?" He asked which made me a bit confused. Maybe Carex was right. His brother is really falling in love with me which is so bad because I don't have such feelings for him.

"Duh? You think I'm getting into a fire to save you two nut jobs? Hell nah! Burn away.... Imma cry a good cry at your funeral.." I replied which rendered us both laughing. "You've changed so much.. Sometimes I just think you're Issa and not Lisa.. Don't take me wrong but you're nothing like your previous self.." he said looking straight into my eyes and God he has pretty eyes.

"I guess people change... You would know when you lose someone that close to you... Hey can you promise me something?" I asked. "Pray tell.." he replied. "Protect Carex no matter what okay? That little prick really loves you even though he doesn't say it much.." I told him of which he smiled brightly. "Yeah... yeah I promise" he replied and then grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer into him and then started to kiss me.

For some reason it didn't feel right. I mean it is no big deal since he is such a good fucker but now that he's caught feelings, I couldn't help but think how much it'd hurt him to realise I'm not into it even just a bit like he is. And most importantly I can't have Carex murder me for hurting his brother because he warned me..

"Hey....stop. We can't.. I mean I can't do this anymore.." i said pulling away. "Wait what? Why?" He asked looking quite hurt and surprised. "I don't know but this doesn't feel right... I'm so sorry but I gotta go.." i said and even before he could say another word, I got up and stormed out of the room.

On my way out I saw Carex who looked pretty much okay just that he looked a bit tired and tipsy. "Hey baby!!" I don't know but for some reason, I felt really relieved to see him so I hugged him tight. "oh hey... When did you come here?" He asked. "A while ago..." I answered. "Oh... So you were leaving then? Without even greeting me? Jeez!" He complained which made me feel really bad.

"No! It's not like that... I came because of you in the first place. Your brother told me you aren't feeling well so I decided to let you rest for a while.." I said of which he nodded understandably. "ugh... It's not anything serious. I'm okay. And when did you even start to respect my private space?" He asked sarcastically. "Duh... Ever since you started acting weird around me..." I said. "Whatever... I've been going through some stuffs lately.. sorry" he apologized. "Nyeeen... Apologies declined. Kiss me?" I said.
