My Big Brother Ch17: New dad
After exactly one hour, I walked downstairs, my heart beating fast. Recently, mom had stopped talking to me completely, so I did not need to inform anyone that I was leaving.I found Dave waiting outside the gate, leaning against his car, his hands in his pockets. “Did you wait for long?“ I asked as he pulled me into a hug.“Nope, I just arrived,” Dave replied. He released me and opened the door for me. And looking at his face, I could tell that something was bothering him.Since he had said that he was fine earlier, I did not ask him again. I did not want to bother him too much. I knew if there was something he wanted me to know, then he would willingly tell me.“Mia,” he called abruptly as he started the car, and looked up at him. There was a certain urgency in his voice that I could not ignore.He was silent again for a while, his gaze focused on the road that I almost thought I was hallucinating, that he had not called my name at all.However, after a few seconds, he looked at me
My Big Brother Ch18: I wanted to get answers to everything
Zack looked directly into my eyes without blinking. “Yes, Mia,” he nodded. “I am your dad!“Looking at him, I knew he was not lying, but I just could not bring myself to accept it. So, I turned to Dave instead.“Dave, I have trusted you for the few days that we have been together. Just tell me the truth. Is he my dad?“ I asked.The words that he had told me the other day at the hotel rang in my head. 'He has a daughter, eighteen years old, beautiful and lovable…''My relationship with her has been great recently. I have to admit that she is someone I would want to spoil, to love and to protect…'Could it be that he was referring to me that day? No wonder he used the word recently! Dave took a step towards me, his face calm. He looked into my eyes. “Mia, we do not have any reason to lie to you. If you don't believe us, we can go for another DNA test,” he said. “That will tell us everything, right?“And that was when I realized that I could really be his daughter. I looked at them, not
My Big Brother Ch19: He wanted to kiss her!
I stood outside the car for a second as I stared at him. “Are you mad at me because of all this?“ I asked, feeling isolated again, just like I used to be in the past. Maybe he was not happy because I had refused to talk to Zack?I watched as he sighed and got out of the car. “Mia, I can't be mad at you, even if I try to. Go on. You need to get your answers,” he said and patted my back.Had it been any other thing, I would not have left him. But I really needed to see mom now. I slowly waved him goodbye and walked into the compound. I ran straight to mom's study room. That is where she spent all her time while at home, especially when her things had gone wrong.I pushed the door open, and I could see her irritated face as she looked at me. “You left at noon, it is twenty past eight. Do you think you own the house to leave and come as you wish?““Mom…” I called, ignoring her outbursts. I did not care about her attitude towards me today. All I wanted were answers.“Ooh…” mom exclaimed w
My Big Brother Ch20: He was hugging me
Dave sat at the edge of the bed and carefully observed her. And in his heart, he admitted that she was very beautiful.He hurriedly shook his head when he caught his line of thoughts again. 'What is wrong with you, Dave? You have to focus!' He admonished himself.He turned away from her. Maybe if he had not been looking at her face, nothing like that would have crossed his mind. Still, he was very confused.He sat still for a long time, trying to wonder why things were changing. Did something happen to him? Could it be that his hatred and disinterest in women was gone?His line of thoughts was interrupted when he heard a sound from the bed. Turning to look, he froze in place.“Mia…” he called in fear as he leaned closer to her. “What is wrong?“ He asked. The girl had her face covered in tears, even though she was still asleep.She looked hurt, scared and in pain. He quickly held her hand and looked at her face again. “Stop crying, Mia…” he said and tried wiping away her tears. He tho
My Big Brother Ch21: Dave's fiancee
I licked my lips and chuckled. “I am not a child anymore. I can do that on my own,” I said, and looked at the plate of food on the table. I had just taken milk since I ate yesterday in the morning. I was still so hungry.Dave chuckled. “To me, you will just be a tiny little girl,” he said and handed me the plate. “Here, unless you eat more and get some meat.“I chuckled again, but began eating with relish. I felt like someone who had never eaten since they were born!…After breakfast, Dave left for the company. He told me that I could call him when I needed anything. Zack was also not in the house, so, I felt a little relaxed.After staying in the room for a long time, I felt like I needed to take a walk outside. Auntie Benta showed me the backyard and told me that I could relax there if I wanted to.“The backyard is nice. It makes you relaxed,” she said with a warm smile. “Take a walk around, I will call you when lunch is ready.“I nodded in appreciation. “Thank you, Auntie,” I said
My Big Brother Ch22: Allergy
Becky sat up with a start, her face paled. “He doesn't eat that!“ She shouted. “Didn't you know that?“Once again, I froze. I looked at the two with embarrassment before trying to take the plate away. “Um… I am sorry. I will eat it instead,” I said.I swear I was only trying to make things right. However, everything seemed to be getting worse. I had no idea that Dave did not eat shrimps.But to my surprise, Dave pushed my hands away and began eating the shrimp. My eyes opened wide as I looked at Becky. Didn't she say that he didn't eat that?I could also see the confusion on Becky's face. “You… you don't eat sea food…” she said.But Dave just shrugged as he continued eating. “I like it,” he said. The air around the table felt tense. However, I could not do anything. I was afraid that I would only get clumsy or do something wrong again.I looked at Becky, and she looked like she wanted to cry. It was true that Dave kept on ignoring her. I pitied her. Maybe I could try talking to Dave,
My Big Brother Ch23: He cares about Mia
Dave held my hand and chuckled. “You think so?“ He asked teasingly. But I could feel like he was holding back some pain. “Stop talking too much!“ I said and began pulling his drawers. “What medicine do you take for that?“ I asked. It seemed like Becky was right all along. This man was allergic to sea food. But why was he so stupid to eat the shrimp? He should have turned it down.“Stop throwing things around,” Dave said, and and opened a different drawer. “I don't want my room as messy as yours is always…”I rolled my eyes as he took out two little boxes. He opened the first one and took a tablet, which he swallowed with some water.He opened the second one. It was a cream tube. I guess he was supposed to apply it to himself. But he creased his brows before returning it to the drawer.I raised my brows at him. “What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to apply that too?“ I asked. “Wait, don't tell me that you are scared because it might be itchy…”Dave chuckled again. “Why do you lik
My Big Brother Ch24: I don't want to go on a date with her
“Sssh!“ Dave said and held me tightly. “I just want to hug you and sleep, okay?“ I wanted to struggle, but I jolted when I felt his skin against mine. He was burning. “Dave? Are you okay? You are so hot!“Dave seemed startled for a second before he chuckled. “Be careful with how you select your words, Mia. You made me think of a different thing.“I looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?“ I asked. Think of a different thing? What could it be? He was sick, and that was all!Dave sighed. “Why are you so naive, Mia? You don't know what it means if you tell a man that he is hot?“ he asked, his teasing eyes looking into mine.His words made me widen my eyes in shock. I pinched his waist the next second. “Why is your mind so corrupted? I only mean, you are running a fever! Is it because of the allergy?“What the hell was he thinking about? He was my brother, okay? Did he let his mind rot somewhere? Or had the fever eaten up his brain?“Okay… I know what you mean now,” he said, a pla
