Blood and Moon Collides

Life is full of surprises, and every day is a mystery. I was in the middle of the road, riding my SUV heading towards Mercado residence.
I turn my radio on to ease the silence.
"Globally confirmed cases surpass 39 Million...."
My listening was interrupted when my phone rings. My mom suddenly called. I connected the call over my car built-in sound system so that I can keep my eyes on the road.
"Azeliah Xandria Mercado, where are you now?' she said.
"I'm on my, way mom" I replied
"Your cousin Marco is waiting ." She added
I ended the call without saying goodbye.

Minutes later, I was already in the parking lot at our house. I get my purse and check my phone. My mother welcomes me with a warm embrace.
Everyone is busy, packing the relief goods for all the residents of our town. I volunteered for myself to help with the distribution. My parents are both doctors, and they are working in the biggest hospital in the country.
The pandemic affected our daily routines, sources of income. The community has been down to quarantine, and the government, medical teams, and all frontliners doing their best to support their constituents.
So we are making ways to help the people in the community to survive from this pandemic.
We were busy packing the goods, suddenly my cousin whispers in my ear.
"Babe, I'm hungry," he said.
"We have helper's coz, ask them to get some food in the kitchen, or get it for yourself. You have a complete body system anyway." I laugh at him
Yeah, Marco and I are close enough that we could tease each other like that.
Time runs so fast. I get tired, so I stood up and walked inside my room. I took a shower and, do my skincare routine. As soon as I lay down on the bed, I suddenly fall asleep. I woke up with a knock on the door.
"Wake up sleepy head, get dressed. We will be going to distribute the food packs today."
"Okay," I replied.
I took a shower, do my skincare routine. I put sunblocked. I went downstairs, wearing Burberry short sleeve dress, facemask, Faceshield and I put a small bottle of alcohol in my purse.
I went straight to the garage 3vans, already left towards the destination. Marco and I will be using my car. He opens the door so that I could get in.
"Please observe social distancing. Wear your facemask so that we can start distributing the food packs."
I heard the Mc announce.
I was busy taking pictures for documentation while Marco busy helping to distribute the food packs.
The son of the owner of Reign Hospital gives me a cup of milk tea. To my surprise, Marco is already on my side, holding my shoulder.
"Too much sweet is not good for your health, love." He whispered.
I felt butterflies on my stomach. I try to hold my feelings, but I couldn't. I replied with a fake smile instead.

I went straight to my condo unit. I feel embarrassed about my feelings towards my cousin.
I cursed my self in front of the mirror. I open 2bottles of vodka I drink until I get wasted.
Suddenly my phone rings and the name of my cousin appears on the screen. I don't want to answer the call, but I still answer it in the end. He asks where I am. Minutes later, I heard a knock on the door. There I saw a devilishly handsome man- my fucking cousin. By the power of alcohol, I kissed him to my surprise, he replied to my kisses. We were both out of breath.
His other hand traveled down on my core.
It sends a shiver down on my spine.
It made my hair stand no end. We forgot that we were cousins. We make blood-hotted lovemaking.
We both know that it was wrong, but our feeling was mutual.
I felt pain all over my body, especially down there.
I went outside the room and found Marco preparing our breakfast. I went again inside the room. I felt ashamed of what I did the last night.
I took a shower, do my morning routines.
Since my parents are both busy in the hospital,
I will be the one to continue to distribute the relief goods house to house this time.
The day did not end without having hot lovemaking.
Marco becomes extra sweet, and our other cousins saw the differences in how we treat each other.

It was already at 3 p.m., Thursday, September 01, 2020, the government announces that our place is already in the state of General Community Quarantine.
I invited some of my close cousins in the house to have drinks with them. Of course, I ask permission from my parents. I open 2bottles of rum and junk foods from the fridge. We drink 7bottles of rum, and we were very drunk and wasted. Some of them fall asleep. Marco's hand was secretly exploring my mound. He kissed me and, we end up doing again the things that are only for the married couple.

It's 3 a.m. I woke up with a loud bang on the door. I went outside to see what's going on. I see a dark aura plastered on my mom's face. She slaps me hard enough. She went home straight from the hospital without a 14-day quarantine after she saw the video that my cousin sent to her.
We never thought that ate Jami, took a video of us kissing.
I cried and ask for forgiveness from my parents while begging not to take Marco away from me.
I heard dad's voice over the phone, letting us know that he commits malpractice. The child died because of the wrong dosage of medicine that my father gives to her.
I cried even more.
My parent's work was affected by my greed in life.
I tried to call Marco, but I cannot reach him anymore.
Our cousins hold a grudge against me. Uncle Martin send Marco abroad,
Maybe it's best for both of us. I wish we could settle things in the future.
When blood and moon collide, it is rare and wanted by many people, but it also a sign of bad things to happen in the future. He is the moon, and I am the blood.
We collided, and suddenly bad things happened in our family.

Would he still come back?

----THE END---
