Maximus (A tagalog novel)

Chapter 4

Levi's POV

"What the fuck did you do, Levi?" My brother spats at me as soon as I arrived at the foot of the stairs.

But all I could think about is that girl. The girl in my room. Who clearly, isn't Jessica.

"Who is that?" I ask my youngest brother, while he looks at me accusingly. I dont blame him though. She's probably one of his play thing.

But why do I feel a pang of guilt? Was it because she dont seem like a girl who'd fuck around with boys such as my brother? And why does the kiss tells me its her first time? I can't be mistaken. Deep inside of me I knew that wasn't Jessica.

"Well, her name is none of your business. Tell me, what happened?" Caleb asks impatiently.

"That girl was in my room" I simply replied. 'Cause who cares why she's in there?

"Ellie did what?" My brother looked surprised.

"Finally you said her name" I said to my brother who's clearly still in surprise.

Like I said, I cant be mistaken. She's probably Caleb's girlfriend because she mentioned my brother's name after we shared that intimate kiss.

I could still taste her plump lips grazing mine and how her breath hitched everytime I suck on her tongue and grasp her legs. Fuck. Whats wrong with me. She's Caleb's for fuck sake.

"You know what, whatever, just give me the goddamn thing I asked you for" I took a deep breath before Caleb hands me the brown envelope that contains some important documents.

"I like that girl and you ruined it" My brother tells me later on.

"Look, I swear I didnt know that's your girlfriend" I replied, removing my business suit.

"She ain't my girlfriend. She's a friend. And don't give me that bullshit Levi. Did you grope her or something?" He retorts and I swear I'd hit him only if he wasn't my brother.

So she isnt Caleb's girlfriend..yet. Then who is she?

"What the hell are you talking about? I dont have any idea who she is , and I dont even know what she looks like thats why I kissed her 'cause I thought she was Jessica in the dark" I'm getting tired of the conversation and I'm pretty sure Caleb won't go easy on me. He seems overly protective of this 'friend'.

"Really? Her Aunt works in your company, douche bag. Imposibleng hindi mo pa nakita si Ellie ni minsan. And Jessica? For christ sake, she's almost 6 foot in height, and Ellie's like 5" or something" My brother spats in fury and disbelief. Should I just tell him I knew it wasn't my girlfriend Jess and that I just simply enjoyed kissing her little innocent friend.

"Whatever. You are such a fucking liar. Stay away from Ellie" Ika ni Caleb sabay bagsak ng pinto paglabas.

I returned to my room and sat on the bed for a while at napabuntong hininga ng malalim. Sinubukan ko ipikit ang akin mga mata to try and get a glimpse of her face again. But all I saw was the shadow of her plump lips.

I'm pretty sure I'm her first kiss. I could hear her heart beats fasten while I touch her. But she looked upset when she learned it wasn't Caleb kissing her.

Then my eyes landed on the carpeted floor. And there, I saw a pink hello kitty wallet.

Its hers.

I picked it up and opened it, wishing I'd find a photo of her or much better, an I.D.

And I did.
