Chapter 10: Breakfast at the Montego's

KELLY'S POV

When did I crawl all the way here? Yes crawl because I couldn’t have possibly just walk right here, in the Montego mansion, my butt on their luxurious couch and my eyes gracing on the heavenly space, taking in the grandeur of the room.

The furnitures were plush and expensive. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, sparkling like a thousand stars. But as i looked around, i couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The room was too perfect, too polished. It felt cold and sterile, like a museum rather than a home.

Did I say Home? You’d think I knew what home really was. In a nut shell, everything in here reminded me of what I never had, one that just maybe I could have had.

Anna had pushed me to the point of sending a thank-you text to Kelvin the night before, which I did. To my greatest shock the cutie asked me over for breakfast before we head to school. Isn't that cute?.. Oh yes, it is

I chuckled as I remembered my bestie’s reaction when we read Kelvin’s message.- "Ahhhhhh!!! Breakfast? Omg Bestie say yes, say yes!!"

i chuckled again. And then realization hit me to where I am, two pairs of charming eyes staring down at me. "What could be the reason behind this angelic sound?" Kelvin asked, his eyes holding mine.

I couldn't tear my eyes away, even as I felt a growing sense of unease. Something about him was off, something that i couldn't quite put my finger on. But i couldn't stop looking, couldn't look away. It was as if i were under a spell.

Kelvin's outfit clung to his body so perfectly. He was dressed in a jean and jacket. His sunglasses resting on his head. He looked like a model out of a magazine, perfectly put together. I couldn't help but blush as i studied him, heat rising to my cheeks burning.

Kelvin was the perfect picture of masculine perfection, just like his brother Jimmy. The two were the guys of my wildest dreams. And the two were the Montego's sons.

I knew it was wrong to ogle him like this, to look at him with such... lust. But i couldn't stop myself. He was just so beautiful, so irresistible. It was as if he had cast some sort of spell over me, putting me under his control. I had never felt this way.

"I just remembered something funny my best friend told me." I responded with as much composure as I could portray at the moment.

And yet, i couldn't shake the feeling that there was something off about the whole situation, about Kelvin. It was all too perfect, too good to be true. I tried to push the thought away, but it wouldn't stop playing in my head.

How was he and Jimmy even brothers? Kelvin was kind and gentle, always willing to lend a helping hand. Jimmy, on the other hand, was selfish and cruel, always looking out for his cute ass. I couldn't help but felt bad for Kelvin, for having such a brother. It must be so hard for him.

I knew that siblings often fought, but this seemed like something more than that. There was a deep divide between them. I felt a sense of sadness as i thought about it. Families should be close, be there for each other. But instead, they were worlds apart. Sad how my own thoughts of family right now was a sad reflection of how my life had been.

I lost my own a long time ago.

"Kelly?" Kelvin said, his voice soft and gentle. "Are you okay? You seemed lost in thought."

I shook my head, coming back to reality with a jolt. "Oh, sorry," i said, blushing slightly. "I was just... thinking."

Kelvin smiled, his eyes kind and understanding. "It's okay," he said. "Do you need anything?" he asked. "A glass of water, or maybe a snack before we leave?"

I shook my head. "No, I'm good," I said, trying to sound convincing. "I just need a moment to get used to all this." I gestured to the room around us. A smile appeared on his face as he watched me."And this.. friennn" Gush I didn’t even know what to call what we were.

A calculative smile formed on his face as his eyes lingered on me "Eliza!" He called, his voice echoing through the mansion. "Could you please bring Kelly a glass of water?"

For a second I wished he’d said something about us being friends. Well what did I think, that someone as cool as him would befriend me? Clearly I didn’t really belong here.

There was a brief pause, and then a middle-aged woman emerged from the kitchen, carrying a tray with a glass of water on it. She placed it on the table in front of me, smiling warmly. "Here you go," She said. "Is there anything else I can get you?"

I shook my head, giving the woman a small smile. "No ma'am, thank you," i said. "I'm fine."

Kelvin seemed to have really noticed my mood and gave me a quizzical look. "Is everything okay?" he asked, his voice full of concern

"I'm fine," i said, trying to sound convincing. "It's just... everything here is so... perfect. I feel like I don't belong." I wished I’d said the main thing that bothered me. I wish I was bold enough to ask him why he was being so nice to me. Was it just me, or he was just being him.

Kelvin smiled and shook his head. "Don't be silly Kelly," he said. "You're perfect just the way you are. And you're always welcome here." And with that being said, he grabbed my arm gently and walked us through the door.

"Thank you." I said feeling a little comfortable. He had such beautiful words to give and at this point I’d be a lair to say my heart didn’t skipped a beat.

Kelvin smiled as he pull the door open motioning for me to get in the car. "I hope you’re not late for your class." He asked as he took the wheel.

"I’m not" I smiled. "Thank you for the breakfast, Kelvin." I said, fully grateful.

He nodded with a charming smile before kicking off. "You're welcome. "

Gush! His smile really got me wet.
