Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 30: Surprise
LIAMShowing up at Daniel's door had seemed like a good plan initially, but I am not so sure anymore.My uncertainty had only grown as I got closer. As I knocked on his door, I contemplated turning back. I didn't know, how, or even where to begin. He might not take me back, which is scary, but maybe he might. It's a damn shame I can't predict the outcome.He seemed stunned seeing me on his doorstep when he opened the door. He does look as if he had lost weight, I thought, recalling something Gianna had said earlier.“What are you doing here?”“Can I come in, please?” I whispered.He stepped aside and locked the door after him. I looked around the living room, awkwardly wondering which word to utter first. “Don't you think we deserve another shot?” I asked. “I am sorry, but I can't talk today. I was just about to shower and head out.” He blurted.“Oh, that's fine, I can wait until you get back, or I could visit dad and come back tomorrow.” I offered. He didn't reply instantly. He
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 31: Confessions
DANIELIt's hard to anticipate the outcome of this journey, and that unravels me. Deep in my gut, I know I won't like what I will find, and I guess that's why I let Liam tug along. I may not tell him, but having him here is giving me strength. To deal with whatever goes down between Kevin and me.Nineteen hours later, we are both staring at the sign post. A hundred meters ahead, it read. I hadn't realized my hands were shaking until Liam placed his on top and gave me an encouraging smile.“I know I'm no prize,” he began, staring up at me. “And I am confusing most of the time and I will probably annoy you to death, but I am here, for a lifetime, if you want me.”His words brought forth this warmth in my heart and I didn't feel so nervous anymore. I leaned in and kissed his cheek before we stepped out of the car, and continued by foot. Liam just followed quietly, giving me time to gather my thoughts, as we made our way to the parish office.From the postcard I had got from Kevin last
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 32: His
LIAM“Bullshit!” Daniel jumped on his feet, getting to his brother's face. For a second, I feared fists might start flying. “So now I am to blame,” he whispered with so much pain I wanted to kill someone. The whole room went silent, each with their thoughts.From where I stood, Daniel's mother is to blame. She cast this enormous barrier among her son's without even knowing it. Kevin has lived with not only the guilt of her death, but the burden of being hated by his younger brother. “It's not your fault, Danny. It has never been. As your elder brother, I failed you.” All the anger escaped Daniel. He exhaled, running in his finger through his short hair. “Is that why you became a priest?” Daniel asked curiously, “you were never a religious person.” Daniel cited the fact that his brother was a reputed surgeon, but bailed their mother's fiasco. “I figured if I do his work, I might get some long-overdue peace of mind.” Kevin replied, glancing at the sky, helplessly fighting back tear
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 33 : Forgiveness
DANIELDinner with Liam's dad and family was a thrilling experience. A good distraction that came in hardy.I had a ton of unavoidable thoughts flooding, and it was nice to be around different people.I got to meet his cousin, Alexander, under better circumstances. But the guy still has some reservations about me, unlike his adorable boyfriend, Christian.By the time we got back home, Liam didn't need prompting as he disappeared in the bathroom to prepare himself, I suppose. Before he left, he has some orders to dish out.“Wait for me in the balcony, preferably naked.”“Balcony?” I asked, surprised considering how chilly it was. “ Yeah, it's my favorite spot in your house.” He shrugged, “and it's also the only place we haven't had sex yet.”“It's chilly, baby. “ I reasoned.“ With what I have in mind, you will be hot in no time.”When he reappeared, I was sitting naked on the bed. It had begun drizzling, and I hate cold. “Balcony is out of the question today.” I disappointed, “Can w
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 34 : I Love You
LIAMI balanced the tray with one hand and used the other to open the door. Daniel was still buried deep under the duvet, snoring softly. I placed the tray by the bedside table and climbed in bed and patted him softly. He groaned when I uncovered his head, “wake up, sleepy head.” I murmured, placing a simple kiss on his lips. Sleepy eyes landed on me and widened when he realized I was fully clothed. “What time is it?”“ Half-past one,”“What? How? I never sleep in this late.” He threw the duvet aside and leaned on the headboard.I found myself taking my favorite position on his lap and his hands automatically wrapped around my waist. I plopped my head on his shoulder and inhaled deeply. “ Mmh…” I moaned, rubbing my nose on his shoulder blade. “There is no way, you weren't made for me" “I am yours,” he rasped, pulling back to kiss my lips. “And you are mine, forever, if that's what you want too.”“Forever sounds just right!” “ With you, I won't settle for less,” Daniel confessed,

Two years later…DANIEL POV“ Everything looks good, baby,” I murmured, wrapping my hands around his waist and pulled him back against my chest. “Urgh, you have ruined my plating,” he grumbled, making me chuckle lightly. I tightened my hold on him, and stared at the counter. The various dishes he had managed to cook looked absolutely flavorful and tasted just as much. Trust me, I was the taster.“ I still can't believe we are doing this,” I referred to his birthday party which we were hosting and invited his family, mine, and our friends. “ Help me put them on the table. “ My boy retorted, instead wiggling against my hold. “ Daniel!” He growled after an unsuccessful attempt to pry from my hold.“ Shhh…" I hushed, kissing his neck. I then stepped aside, picked two dishes, and proceeded to the balcony where we had set the table and the grills. It took us twelve trips, to set everything, with Liam barking instructions which I followed to the letter. He was excited about it and I trie
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 1: Courtroom
I do suggest you read (His Maid's Son) first.LIAMThe courtroom began to spin. I felt like the walls were closing in on me. A dreadful feeling I couldn't shake had my palms sweating as I struggled to calm my raising heart. I shifted uneasily.Sitting silently next to my attorney, and watching my life fall apart, had a bitter taste to it. And I could do nothing about it. I turned my head and scanned the grim faces in the courtroom. Though it hurt seeing my father and cousin looking all scared for me, the sadness in the victim's family tore my heart apart. How did I become that person? I used to think I was raised better. Never had I imagined I would hurt anyone, let alone become a convicted criminal.I can try to argue that I am not the one who did the stabbing, but deep down I know I made a mistake. And a life was taken. There is no way I was going to escape prison, not after the murder weapon was found in my possession.According to the law, that was evidence enough to put me behi
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 2: Meeting him
DANIELI was busy sorting out parole papers in my office, when Gianna, my close friend and colleague, informed me of the new inmates' arrival. I released a helpless sigh, knowing all too well what was expected of me. I had to give some bullshit speech, that I had recited over and over to be every new batch that gets through the door. Though I knew no one paid attention, It was a standard procedure for the warden to brief new inmates on the dos and don'ts. The fact that we deal with numerous cases of the said don'ts proves it's a time-wasting affair. With no motivation whatsoever, I took long, quick strides towards the welcoming hall. I was in the middle of my speech when I felt eyes on me. I glanced around, and my gaze fell on a slender blonde boy who looked truly scared. He had beautiful golden-brown eyes and I couldn't look away!The sorrowful orbs drew me in, and I was unable to understand why. The boy fidgeted but held my gaze nonetheless. He tilted his head quizzically, and I a
