129. MARLON

Standing in the kitchen, staring down at the hot bowl of soup that the chef made me.

I know he is coming, and the kitchen is going to be his first step before he makes his way to the kitchen.

My head pulsates as his familiar steps are heard against the floor. His aura always walks into the room before him.

His head peeks first, before his body, but I don't even bother to look up at him. Even though I haven't seen him for weeks.

"Marlon?" He walks in. "May said you're sick, are

    131. JANAEI'm not a psychologist, but there is something about the two Marlons that I noticed from the very moment that I stepped into their house. I've never seen such animosity between two men, who look so much alike. To be honest, I wanted to ask Maybelline what exactly was their issue, but I felt that would be an overstep as a servant in their house. Now, here is Marlon, telling me that he will help me with all the resources I should use to bring his father down. What's the matter with him? Doesn't he know that something like this can harm his father's reputation?"You should go home, Marlon, I'm serious. If you have anything to iron, you iron it out with him," I make to walk back to the door, to open it for him, but he stops me. "Janae, I am trying to help you." "No, you're not, you are trying to punish your father for a reason that I don't understand!" I press my hand over my forehead. "He hurt you!" "Maybe? But you're a kid, and it has nothing to do with you!" "He hu

    130. MARLON The next ten minutes is a blur for me, and I'm sure it's same for my father, but after that, we stagger into the main sitting room, with bloody nose and busted lips. We hardly glance at each other before sitting on the long couch, while he uses the remote to turn on the television. There is a football match being played, and for first time since my mum died, my father and I are on the same couch, watching football. He sniffles, and then I notice his arm move into his pocket to take out a handkerchief. Surprisingly, he hasn't taken it out for himself, instead he hands it to me. "Maybelline thinks you and I should go to therapy to iron out our," he puts air quotes, "mental rivalry," "You're not my rival." I huff. "I agree, I'm just a bad Dad to you," he murmurs as I take it. "I can't believe that I hit my son." "It's alright, hit harder anyway," I say, not as a joke, but he snorts a short laugh. "You loved mum," I say. "I do." He affirms. "That wasn't a grammatical

"May said you're sick, are you feeling better?" I don't answer, and he just goes to the espresso machine to grab himself a cup of coffee. "You were supposed to be at the annual meeting today. Many of the partners are very excited to see you. They've all heard that you are the NHL's latest take." I keep stirring the soup, but I do not answer him. The chunks of vegetables following the spoon around, that seems more interesting than anything he has to say. He heaves as he lips his cup to his lips. "I see. This is like th

    128. MARLON Maybelline is right, I fall sick after the disturbing thing I discovered about Dad and Janae. I'm so sick that I miss a few days of school, and when Luther says he wants to come and see me, I refuse because of how messy I get when I'm sick. I walk around the house coughing like a sick child from the time of the black plague, and with pieces of toilet paper stuck up my nostrils. "Dad is coming home today," Maybelline tells me with an excited look on her face, but not me. I am as still as a statue on my bed. "Aren't you going to say anything, Marlon? We haven't seen him in weeks," she tells me. "I really don't care, May. He is your dad, not mine," my voice is so deep and tired. When we were younger and I would say mean things like this about Dad, she would burst into tears, but now, she is so used to it that she laughs. "You know, you can't say those kinds of things when you look exactly like Dad. Don't you feel that sometimes it's like fighting your own shadow?"

    127. JANAE I've worked for some pretty rich people even before I was an accountant, and there is one thing I have learned. Never accept the gift of the rich. They probably want something twice the price back. "No, I'm good," I take my glass to my lips again. She looks different from the black-wearing method-acting widow. She looks like she could be twenty two, looking for a one night stand here. She chuckles when she notices how carefully I am examining her face. "You know, I feel like we could be friends. Bernice still considers your boy to be one of her best friends in the world," she takes her drink through a straw. "Your kid is no friend to mine," I snarl. "And I have no intention to be your friend," She should be offended, but she laughs and she waves my unfriendliness away. "Are both of you still touchy about the scholarship stuff? Come on, don't be. Let me tell you something," She pulls her stool closer to mine, so that I can almost feel the feet of her body, and smel

    126. MARLON What sort of sick game is this? I'm fucking her son and she is doing my Dad? Bile rush up my throat. We are all going to hell for this. Somehow, I am able to stumble out of the house and projectile vomit over the grass. My lungs feel like they are being flooded with acidic water, and the world just keeps spinning around me. Maybelline feet come into vision, as I am wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. "Please, don't tell me that you are sick," she clicks her tongue with a frown on her face. "I'm not sick," I stand up straight again, but God, do I feel like shit. "Come on, let's go home. I don't think that there is anything that we can say to Janae that will get her to come back." She takes the car keys from me. I give one more look at the house, at Janae, who is staring at us, through a window, from behind parted curtains. From the look on her eyes, I know that she knows that I know. Why did she allow him to do that to her? Why did she allow him to ruin her

    LUTHER I linger in the bathroom minutes after Marlon has left. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I have to slap myself a few times to make sure that I am not in a dream or something. Did Marlon Gustave just kiss me? Did he just touch me and get me yearning for more?This has never been som

    Luther's POV “Wh– what?” I stammer. “Come on, stop being a pussy.” He growl under his breath. “You want to fight me, don't you?” I swallow a dry gulp, I couldn't take my eyes away from his.

    Luther's POVI walk to and fro the door so many times, but I can't bring myself to walk into that classroom. To be honest, I would prefer to just leave. I want to go back home and tell my mother that we should move to a new town all together. But she is definitely going to say no. My reluctance
