Chapter 3

Sunny:

"Brother, isn't today Mike's birthday?" Jessica asks me as she rushes downstairs to catch up with me just as I prepare to leave for my best friend's house.

It's been long since I last visited Mike. I stopped going to his house because his parents warned him to tell us to stay away.

I had asked Mike why. He says it's because of his baby sister. But Maryann isn't a baby anymore. She is 18 years old, and I am desiring to see what she will dress like in a bikini or short seductive dress.

Mike is possessive of his sister. I last saw Maryann at the high school graduation party when I went there to represent my parents.

My father is a billionaire CEO who travels around the globe with Mom, who worked as his secretary, before they fell in love and got married. Till date, they rarely make time for my sisters and me. So, I had to represent Dad and attend Jessica's send-off from high school.

That was the only time I got to see Maryann. But she wore a black graduation gown and an overly long green dress that prevented me from seeing how endowed she now looks.

I know that Maryann is my best friend's sister and I'm not supposed to admire her. But I cannot help but crave to see her. I desire to know how far she has grown and if I can pursue her or not.

I'm not a saint, but that doesn't mean I don't have special desires.

When Jessica rushed to meet me in the living room of our parents' standard duplex, before I left the house, she asked me, "Brother, aren't you going to Mike's house? Can I come over, please?"

I frowned and bluntly refused. "No. You should focus on your study for your university admission. You cannot come. Besides, Mike doesn't want to see you. He complained to me that you bullied Maryann in school. You cannot claim to like Mike when you hate his sister."

I crossed my arms over my chest and bluntly refused to allow Jessica to follow me. She and I cannot be in a relationship with two siblings. I have tried to stop her from following me in the past, but she is young and our parents don't support me leaving Jessica alone in the big house with her nanny. Now, she is 19. I cannot continue to babysit her anymore.

Jessica is wearing a short blue nightdress. I had wanted to slip out of the house before she awoke. But she knows it's Mike's birthday since he already posted his invitation on his social media page, and they live only two streets away from our home.

"Please..." my sister claps her hands in a pleading manner. "It's not that I hate Maryann. She is just so annoying, and most of the boys in our class crush on her, but she is just too clumsy to know they admire her. She acted like a dummy, and I hated that she got more attention than I ever got."

My sister's face darkens at the memory of Maryann attracting all the boys in her class.

I frowned too, even though I wasn't supposed to be unhappy. I feel this ache in my chest that other guys get to see her while her parents prevent me from getting close to her.

I try to keep my emotions at bay. My sister cannot know that I secretly admire her rival in school. That will cause hell to break loose, and I don't want Jessica to confess my feelings to Maryann before I do. After all, Maryann is my best friend's sister.

"Jessica, Mike warned me to not bring you over. Besides, it's his home birthday party. He told me that he already acquired a house which he hasn't yet announced to his parents. So, he wants to celebrate this birthday as the last birthday with them before he completely moves out. After all, we signed with international football clubs too."

"Really? Are you moving out?" Jessica asks, her eyes widening at the mention of that.

"Probably," I caressed my back head. "I am still yet to inform our parents, but I am certain they will be home before three months are over, before the new football season starts."

My sister smiles and says, "That will be great. I will have the whole house to myself."

I frown and cut short her joy. "You will move with me or stay with Linda. Don't think our parents will let you stay home alone, before you fụck all the street boys."

My sister pouts. Of course, I know she is not a virgin even though she admires my best friend. She has been in several failed relationships since she turned 18. So long as she plays safe, I don't bother myself with her sèxual life. After all, we are rich, so she is only doing that for fun.

"About Mike's house, fine. I promise to not bully Maryann. I will get along with her. Please, this is my one chance to get close to him. I really want to be his girlfriend. Why can't you talk to Mike on my behalf?"

"No way. You cannot date Mike. He's a bad boy. He dates two women and is into threesomes. You should find your level and keep away from my buddy."

"But he's your best friend. I don't care if Mike is into threesomes. I don't mind fụcking him."

"Jessica…" My face darkens at my sister's blunt statement.

"No way. You are not going to Mike's party, and that's final. Just stay here. You are not his type."

I ignored my sister's sullen face as she felt hurt to hear me say that. After all, she is open with me about her interest in my best friend. But I cannot talk to Mike about her, not when I have Maryann on my mind. So it's best Jessica stays at home and not come to Mike's birthday party.

I also skipped having breakfast with Jessica, and I know she is stubborn and will find her way to Mike's party. But I certainly hope she doesn't show up and goes on one of her numerous dates instead.

When I step outside, I get into my red sports car and drive off to my best friend's father's house.
