"What are you doing Sbu,are you out of your mind?"I was beyond being shocked,I didn't understand how he could do this to me?, from that day onwards things went from being normal to awkward and for about 2 months I did not visit my sister's house."Cindy,why don't you visit anymore?,you know that I don't like when you hide away from me?" I could tell that my sister was really concerned but I couldn't tell her the truth because she would be hurt.
"I'm sorry but I have been busy with school work and Aunty needs me here".
"But visiting once a month has never been a problem,are you sure you are not hiding anything from me?"
Lying to my sister was the last thing I wanted to do because she has been my supporter and my friend for my whole life so I felt very bad but this was for protecting her."Yes I am sure that I'm not hiding anything,you are my sister I would never lie to you".
"Okay fine,but make sure you take care of yourself and remember keep your flower safe,I love you and I'm here for you".
"Thank you sis,I love you too".After 3 months I finally visited for another weekend and I was not prepared for what was about to happen. When I got there on Friday the whole family was not home and I understood why,since I didn't go to school that day I was early so I put on my favourite Whitney Houston album that my sister had and I started cleaning the house and cooked so the music was very loud.
All of a sudden the music was turned off and there he was standing with a very tense facial expression like he was angry or something.
Sbu : Don't you think this volume will destroy the windows?
Me : Nope.
Sbu : Well I do, so you better keep it low.
And just like that he walked away mind you,he turned it off not even minimising it. I stood there burning with anger,how dare he tells me that? And why is he so bossy? Those were the questions I had running through my mind but I decided to let him be and continued with what I was doing.Later that day we had supper as a family and had great conversation however Sbu was not interested, the entire time he gave me ugly stares and was just not in a mood to talk,oh well who cared.
"So,Cindy you can sleep with Owethu in her room,as usual".
"Okay,no problem".
I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and I washed my face. I went back to the lounge to check on some nice Movies since it was Friday. I decided on watching Twilight even though I had watched it a couple of times.
"You still love this movie,huh?
This guy though it seemed like he was following me around the house or something so now he wanted to talk? No!! I was not prepared to talk to a moody person so I ignored him.
"Are you ignoring me?
"Maybe,what do you want moody? Can't you see that I'm in a middle of watching a movie?"
"Moody,wow! Is that my new name? I like it." I won't lie his smile or laugh used to get me all the time, I just couldn't stay angry at him so I smiled back. "Whatever". We continued with watching the movie until it was really late and everyone was asleep. I was also getting up to go to bed but he grabbed my arm.
Sbu : Cindy look, about what happ-
Me : Just forget it okay,lets act like it never happened.
Sbu : But I can't, I think about it everyday and about you.
Me : That's absurd,you are my sister's child now how could you even think about me like that?
Sbu : I know it's wrong but technically we are not related.
For a moment he got me there but I hated what he said because he was correct but we had to fight all the wrong ideas in our minds.
Me : We can use that as an excuse but I can't do that and hurt my sister I'm sorry.He looked at me for while and without hesitation he pulled me closer to him and whispered
"I like you a lot,if I have to get in trouble for that then so be it".
He touched my face with his lips and I could not resist he put his arms around my waist I didn't understand how a 14 year old could be so skilled,my mind said no but my body was saying another thing.
He kissed me and this time I was also guilty as charged because besides kissing him back I enjoyed the kiss. He scooped me up and took me to his bedroom.
