A Brother's Validation

~15~

Larry POV
1:58 am

It's our last night in Japan then we go home. France.  Sumiko and Laurent been so loving towards each other. I'm kind of jealous of the attention she get. But I'm happy for my brother. Miko make him happy and he forget about gold digger. I still want to talk to him about what him and Sumiko are though. They act all cute but I feel better knowing they a thing.

We in his room chilling on our phones. Lau look like he really into his phone so I decide to joke around. I guess it's Miko by the way he grinning.

I snatch his phone and ask, "Who you talk to?"

"No bro!"

I see the name "Kya👅😍❣️"

He snatch his phone back angrily.

"Pourquoi lui envoyez-vous des textos?! (Why you texting her?!)" I ask furiously.

"Je ne peux pas envoyer un texto à ma copine? (I can't text my girlfriend?)" he replies boringly not looking at me.

"What about Miko?" I whisper harshly.

"What about her?" He says making me breathe hard.

"You play with her!" I yell knocking his phone out his hand.

"I not! I just no want her!" He says pushing me.

"You no care if you hurt her? You a bitch nigga!" I yell pushing him back.

"What is wrong with y'all? It's 2 am in the morning and y'all are yelling?! Shut up!"

We both look at Sumiko in a baby pink sheer night gown. I try and say sorry but I stutter. That caught me off guard. I look at Lau and he look frozen in place.

"'Je ne veux juste pas qu'elle'. Cul de tête. ('I just no want her.' Head ass.)" I mock pushing his head to the side. I no understand why he want that plastic doll and he got the real thing in front of him.

"I sorry, Miko." I kiss the side of her head. "I just leaving. Come with me." I turn her around and flip my brother off without looking back.

I walk to her room and land face first on her bed.

"You good?" She asks laughing.

"He so irritating. He have a diamond in front of him but he wanna hold onto a rock." I mumble into the bed. It come out muffled, so she no hear.

She laugh again causing me to flip over.  I see her do her hair in the mirror. So effortlessly graceful. A diamond. Then I think of Kya. She ugly. An ugly rock.

"You very pretty, Miko." I say looking at the ceiling.

"Thanks, Lar."

"Why you not a model?"

"Because I take pictures of the models."

She close the bathroom door and go to the big window. She look like a  goddess with the moon shining and the background of the city. She pretty. Reminds me of Celeste. Her name mean "heavenly" in French. I miss her.

She walk to the bed and untie her gown.

"You don't mind?" She asks.

I shake my head no. I watch from the corner of my eye as the gown slips down her body. I got an idea. I jump up. I thank her and kiss her head and rush out of the room after saying good night.

I head back to Lau room. I burst in and he on the phone. He say Kya once and I grab his phone and hang up. He start to yell but I tell him to "Shut the fuck up."

"Sumiko."

His face light up but it goes away quickly.

"I know you don't just lust for her." He rolls his eyes.

"You scared." I say and he looks up at the ceiling.

He quiet.

"You scared of committing to something you know is real because you no want to ruin what is right now. Right?"

He look at me and slightly nod.

"But how can you know you will ruin it? What if you do it and it the best thing you ever do? And don't say you not prepared because no one is." I pat his arm and get up to leave.

"I hate that you right." He call after me.

I laugh looking back at him. He look sad. I walk back in the room.

"Is too late though." He run a hand down his face.

"Kya say she miss me and wanna see me. She say she saw pictures of me and Sumiko and admit she was jealous but know that Miko mean nothing to me." He pause.

He pull up the pictures. I can't help but 'aww' at them. Is pictures of them hold hands and hug and kiss. He smirk but get back to the point.

"She say she will be in France when we get back."

"What? Tell her go home we no get back—"

"Until tomorrow." He finish.

Shit. I forget.

"You can still tell her go home. What's the problem?"

"The problem is that I can't." Lau sits defeated.

What he mean?

"I can't because I feel bad already. I basically cheat on her and then I tell her to go home and—"

"Non! Non, Lau! You can't help how you feel. Especially when it's so strong. And for a woman better than that girl. I know how girl supposed to react after you say you cheat. They go crazy but she say she in France waiting with open arms? Not normal." I shake my head thinking about the situation.

"I still care for her." He admits.

"How you know she no cheat on you while you away all the time?"

"Then we even." He says.

"But Miko. You really no want her?" I ask really confused now.

"She ...make me happy. She encourage me to be better. She different than anyone I meet. I ju—"

"And how she compare to Kya?" I ask.

"She... doesn't." Huh? "Kya give me everything already. Love, support. She help me even when you no there."

"Yeah but those decision fuck up you life." I recall. "Don't forget she give you sex." I roll my eyes. "I get it. You no want Sumiko. Just tell her."

"I non say that. She doesn't compare to Kya. She way better. Kya may have given me everything already but Miko show me more. She make me feel loved by how she look at me or touch me or what she say. When she read me her favorite poems or play her favorite music. When she sing for me. It make me feel loved. She show me her soul and no hesitate. It scare me because I still need to show her mine but I afraid she no like what I show her."

I smirk at my brother.

"You love her."

He looks up at me as if I just said I hated him.

"Non..."

"You love her. And it's okay if you scared. Just make sure you grab her and never let go."

He sighs and smiles at me.

"Good night, bro."
