"When the fuck are you going to forget that woman? She left you and your children for another man and let her bitch nature took over! I'm the one whose here with you! It's my son working hard to help you with the company. Why are you still hoping and waiting to your neat freak son!"
I heard a loud smack after Mom's rage. I shut my eyes tight while squeezing my fists. I wanna go inside their room and protect her but I stay still outside and lean my back on the cold wall cement beside the bedroom door.
I came upstairs to their bedroom to check mom and talk to her yet I didn't know Dad was here already. I carried out a quiet sigh and continue to listen. These weren't new to me. The issue haven't change nor progress since then.
"I've been letting the moment slide everytime you call her bitch but never ever call my children names! You get that?" My step father chide loudly at her and I heard mom let out a sob. I've been denying ever since that only their granny cannot accept us. Even my step father don't love us the way he did to his children and ex-wife. Sad for him that his children hate him because he's not good at showing love and also, he never gave chance their mom see them.
"I can't take this anymore! My son and I sacrifices a lot for you then these all what we got? I want a divorce!"
A bitter smile crawl unto my face. I never thought mom was serious when she told me she'll asked that divorce for me... for benefits. Silence passed by, no more sobbed on my mom can be heard. I am making my hearing sharp when I hear loud beeping sound of a car outside the compound.
I ran downstairs and my heart jump highest to see Kelli's car getting in the entrance. The car move to the parking area and the driver hop out the driver seat. I walk closer to the car and when he open the back seat. There was Kelli, lying and sleeping. Her long hair messed around the face.
"What happened to her?" I asked the driver.
"Ma'am Kelli was drunk Sir." The driver answered and about to get Kelli from the car but I stop him.
"Let me do it. Tell the maids to prepare warm water and towels then bring it to her room." He nod in agree and ran away from us. I get in the back seat and help Kelli to sit down. She's in deep sleep. I sigh of frustration then carried her out the car, lifting up and carrying her bridal style.
"Did you gained weight?" I asked even though she will not answer. A smile cover up my lips.
I carefully lay her down the bed. I felt a sudden pain on my back and so I stretch it a bit by swaying my hip in circular manner. I even taut my slightly feeling numb arms resulted by carrying her.
I sit down beside her and watch her sleeping face. Her make-up still on but bit messy, still, she looks so hot and beautiful. I wonder how many bachelor boys in the club again tried to get close to her but got turned down because of me. Yes, it supposed to be me. I know very well and I can feel that Kelli loves me more than just anyone. I have a special place in her heart.
I get the small towel from the wash basin consist of warm water and squeeze out the liquid. Started to dap it to her skin, first at her forehead and cheeks. Slowly going down to her neck. She was sweating a lot maybe because of her tight blouse and jeans.
I put back the towel in the washbasin and went closer to the closet cabinet. From there, I get one pair of pink Patrick pyjama. I smile again at the thought that Kelli would love to see herself wearing this first thing when she wake up.
Therefore, how am I supposed to change her clothes? I glance at Kelli that was sleeping tight on the bed and I groan when unusual desires and fantasies suddenly play in my head. I grip the clothes in my hand and shut my eyes walking out her bedroom. I call out one of the house maid and told her to change Kelli's clothes.
I get back inside when the maid done changing her clothes and continue to sponger her warm skin with the wet towel.
"I'm sorry, brother" I heard Kelli whimpered.
I shake my head. She really did got to his brother. Without caring about herself. She only stayed one night at the hospital and force the doctors to dismiss her so she could go to Suga. Now, she's drunk not only with liquor but frustration and guilt.
"I'm sorry too, Kelli. It was all my fault. I shouldn't embrace you that moment. I should have controlled my emotions. I shouldn't told Suga that I love you." I put away the towel and cup her cheek with my right hand. Caressing it's warm skin that was sure trace with tears.
I was surprised when she suddenly hold my hand that cupping her cheek and grip it lightly. Slowly, Kelli open her eyes and dart it straight to mine. All I can see through it is sadness. My heart beats double as if somethibg bad will happen in few seconds after.
"What did I fell in love with jerk like you? Why it should be my step brother that my biological brother hated the most?" I see tears escape her eyes trailing down the temple of her forehead.
"You're drunk Kelli. You should rest." I said though I was overwhelmed and gloomy at the same time. Yes, Kelli loves me but everything is just fucking complicated.
"Suga said I should leave this house to win him back." Her voice lower and trembling. I am verge in tears. I can't loose Kelli. I can avoid her all my life but I cannot see myself not around her. I should be always within her range.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay? You should sleep." I get the blanket blinking my tears away. It's not my intention to hurt Kelli but that's what happening now.
"Don't leave me, Tae-Tae." I glance at her and I see a sad smile on her face. I nod my head and hold her hand tightly.
"Okay. I'll be here." I answered re-assuring her that I will go far from her.
"No... Sleep with me. Please?" My eyes was stuck into hers. I don't want to take advantage of Kelli because I love her. She's drunk now and sad but my heart is commanding me to grant her request. It's just a sleep. Nothing more will happen.
"Okay." I said and lay down beside her. I'm on my way getting one pillow to put between us when Kelli hug me tight. Her warm skin going through mine sending volts to my flesh. I felt his nose rubbing on my chest tickles that part. I groan because of the sensation. That's how Kelli's touch can make me insane. Turning my world upside down.
"It's good to be this near to you. Wish I can do this when I ain't drunk." I heard Kelli murmured and buried her face more to my chest tighting the hug on my waist. She's the only one touching me though I have the tough urge to feel her skin too. I'm just afraid that the simple and light feeling againts her skin will command me to move into another level.
"Tae... " She calls my name and I humm as an answer. I still can't believe that this all happening. I am beyond speechless.
"If I choose you and fight for you, Would you be by my side until the end of the war?"
