My Brother's Fiancé

Chapter 10

Noah's POV

I missed Kate so much. I miss the feeling of being around her. 

Her spooning me while she sleeps, I slowly untangle her limbs from mine and left her room.

As I was getting ready for bed myself, Jared comes into the room quietly and seemed a little tensed.

Looking at him at the mirror in the bathroom, I observed him before I actually spoke.

"Are you okay? You seem tense. Is there something wrong?" I asked a little concerned. 

Clearing his throat, he pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at me.

"We need to talk," he suddenly says.

Everyone knows that a conversation that starts like that, isn't going to start and end well. Suddenly, I just.. I'm worried and tensed. I'm freaking scared. 

Putting  my face towel down, I turn around and said, "Okay," as calm as possible.

I walked to the bed and sat down. Patting the space next to me, I ushered him to start.

He sat down, and didn't start for a long time. I gave him time to collect himself and patiently waited.

He finally looked up and sighed. I could actually see sweat on his face. 

"Well...?" I dragged on.

"I found my mate," he said.

I didn't reply for a long time. Collecting my thoughts...

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Katelyn," he stated.

Why do I feel betrayed or rejected all of a sudden? I'm supposed to be happy for him. He found his mate. Before anything really happened between us, we both agreed that we'll split when we found our mates. I should be happy for Kate; she found her mate.  I just can't forget the years Jared and I spent together. How he found and helped me when I ran away. I think I just need time for the information to sink in.

"So this is it then," I said with no emotions.

Silence. That's all there is at the moment.

"I need a favor. If you don't mind," he said.

"And what is it?" I asked curiously.

"Can we then fake our relationship? I don't want Katelyn to suspect anything. I don't want her to worry or something. I just.. I just want to bond with her, tell her that we're mates and not rushing it. Can you do that for me?" he said with sincerity.

Should I or should I not? All I ever wanted, was for Kate to be happy and here it is.

"Okay," I said.

"Thank you so much. You don't know how happy I am right now," he said.

"We're not sharing a room though. This is all you could do in return for your favour," I said sternly.

"Okay. No problem," he said. Collecting his things, he exited my room.

Where is he even going to sleep? Why should I care? We're not together anymore.

Sighing, I turned off my lights and knocked out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

-Next Morning-

I got up, not feeling in the mood to trip with anyone today.

I went to the kitchen and I found mom and dad there. I sat down and just in time, Jared entered the kitchen. 

"Morning everyone," he said.

"Morning," everyone replied except me. I groaned instead.

I was down to my last pancake and Kate came in.

She kissed everyone on the cheek and smiled at Jared.

Well.. sighs..

Dad, Jared, and Kate had the conversation about the whole training thing. 

While they were at that, my mind went off thinking.

What am I gonna do now? I should be happy. I should grow up and not envy my own little sister. I should be even hooking up the two mates. Oh.., just thinking of all the tricks up my sleeve. 

After Katelyn exited the kitchen, I went up to my room and showered. Went back down to the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle.

Seeing Kate stop by the door before even going outside to the backyard, I went over to her and looked at what she was looking at.

Argh! Trust me girl, I've been there. Can't help it as well. Busted eye raping him. Ha!

"What are you wearing?" I said looking at what she was wearing.

"What's with the tone? God..." she asked matching my tone.

"That's not what you're going to wear," I stressed.

"And why not? They're my clothes," she replied.

"Come with me. I have clothes for you," I grabbed her hand and dragged her to my room. 

"Why do you have clothes for me?" she asked.

"I still haven't unpacked some of your presents,"I said.

"Oh.," I said.

Entering my room, I go straight to digging into my luggages.

"Aren't you sharing this room with Jared?" she asked.

"No. Why?" I said.

"Just asking," she replied.

Springing up with an outfit, I said "Here!" with excitement.

She examined the outfit.

I just know that Jared won't be able to restrain himself seeing her in that. I can't wait!

"Noah," she said.

"Well, put it on," I said.

"Um.. no..," she said giving me the 'WTF' look.

"What you mean 'no'?" I asked annoyed.

"These show too much skin for just training," she complained.

"Just wear them for me," I dragged.

"No," she said.

"I won't give you the rest of your presents if you don't wear that for me," I said with a smirk.

"You.. Argh! Fine!" she surrendered. Finally.

When she was finished changing, I followed her downstairs. When we were about to go through the door that leads to the backyard, I said, "Enjoy," and pushed her.

With an evil grin, I'm proud of what I just did.
