ABOUT HIM

Prologue - Why

                  

Prologue

"Why do I always do that?"

Stare at the ceiling as soon as I awake. It's like my mind is searching for something, I can't seem to find the answer too. "Why do I feel like this?" An emptiness that I can't explain. It's like I woke up to something missing, but I just don't know what.

Phone rings

Me: "Bonjour mon frère (Hello my brother)

Larry: "Lau, what's up bro how you feel?

Me: "Is something wrong twin?"

Larry: "Why do something have to be wrong when I call?"

Me: "Because you never call Larry unless it is."

Larry: "No! That is no true brother, I call to check up on you when I have time," he furthered lied, as I grew extremely anxious to get to the true nature of his call.

Me: "Larry... Cut the shit bro. For real, what's up man?"

Larry: "Seriously big bro," he defended as I rolled my eyes at his obviousness. Larry never liked to admit that I was his big brother by 2 mins. "I just check for see if you ok." He finished as I chuckled.

Me: "Oh my god you must be dying Larry," I joked, as he sucked his teeth. "Because you never call me big brother or show much affection bro. I should be very worried right now, no?" I furthered joked as my twin yet again sucked his teeth.

Larry: "Whatever man, shut up. I'm just checking," he spat as I started to calm from my laugh. "I remember how you get sometimes out there alone. You should just move out here to New York with me and Melissa bro," he finished as my laughed instantly stopped and my face severely frowned. Just the mention of her name put me in a defensive, angered mood.

Me: "Fuck No," I shouted shocking both Larry and me at my outburst. We stood silently on the phone for a few seconds. I was back to the state I was in just before Larry had called, confused. Again I was feeling something that my brain couldn't explain.

Larry: "But why?" he asked bringing me back to our conversation.

Me: "Huh...Why what?"

Larry: "Why you no want for come out here to New York with me," he further pushed. One thing I knew for certain, Larry was not the reason I refused to move to New York. I would love nothing more than to be close to my twin. No, for sure it wasn't Larry. It was her, his girlfriend, Melissa. "This is fucking crazy. You mean to tell me you still no like Melissa, Lau?" He questioned as if he could read my mind.

I drew a blank as to what reason I had to not like her, which started to frustrate me; unlike my twin, I, on the other hand, was a very decisive person. However, my feelings screamed of such distastefulness for her, but my thoughts, memories, and words refused to merge together in order for me to explain. "Wait what did he mean still?" I thought.

Me: "What do you mean still? Why didn't I like her before?" I questioned hoping Larry could give me a clue that would help to unlock my newly dysfunctional mind. But again (a habit of his) he sucked his teeth as a response.

Larry: "Forget this Lau. I just called to check for see if you ok, not to sit here and listen to this bullshit of why you hate my girlfriend again, oki," he finished. "So I do hate her, but why?" I asked myself in much frustration.

Me: "Larry, why would I hate her?" I asked again praying once again, that my twin would come through with what my brain, right now, struggled with.

Larry: "I don't know ask you self that. Anyway try not to do you daily routine today, oki?" he rushed annoyed, while I squinted my face in more confusion as to why he would be telling me this.

Me: "But why? What you mean," I asked as he sighed on the other end.

Larry: "Laurent just trust me oki, it's good for you to try something new," he finished as I took note of him addressing me by my full name. Larry almost never called me by my full name, unless he was completely serious.

Background: "Larry come back to bed." I heard her seductively say towards my brother, as I scoffed my face in pure disgust.

Larry: "Lau I have to go man. I love you oki and listen to what I say,"

Me: "Larry something is wrong with me-"

Larry: "Lau you are fine bro, I will call you later, plus I have a surprise for you. Oki, I love you again bye."

Dial tone.

What the heck was wrong with him hanging up on me like that. My twin was usually always there for me when I needed him. But now it seemed one word from her and he was gone. "Pussy whipped," I thought to myself, as I shook my head at the actions Larry just displayed.

Never would I think I'd see the day my brother would be under a woman's spell. I mean yeah Melissa had a fantastic, almost unreal ass, but now of days who didn't. Besides, I've witness Larry with better. I placed my phone back down on the nightstand, as the feeling of emptiness overshadowed me again. Thank goodness my stomach growling, snapped me out of my hostile thoughts of my twin's girlfriend and my sudden loneliness. Though Larry's advice rang through my head. There was one place I craved to go to the most THIS morning, even though, for the life of me, I couldn't remember or understand why.
