"If you touch me with those legs, I will break them," Orion threatened and continued his work.

She pouted, and made sure her legs stayed in place so it won't touch him. She focused back on the work at hand, her eyes on him again.

He was her work at hand, for why would she want to draw something else when there is a perfect muse right in front of her? April smiled at her thoughts.

She let herself loose and get lost in the artistic world of strokes and shadings. Orion knew he was drawing him, he had noticed her occasional glances but said nothing. That is exactly why he had stayed in the same position for over thirty minutes.

"Orion," he heard her call and when he looked towards her as an answer, he saw that she had dozed off, with the side of her head against the back of the couch.

Her sketching sheet was held against her chest with her hands possessively. He wondered what he was doing in her dream.

"Let- let me breathe!" she slurred out and kick her right leg a little.

    April froze for a moment. Then, she finally turned around to face him, tears welled in her eyes. "Then why push me away?""Because loving you......is the only thing I've ever wanted that terrifies me."She moved closer to him. "Then be scared with me.""I wish it's that easy." Releasing her hand, he moved back to the desk and slammed the glass of wine down on the surface before moving to sit on the couch, his head in his hands with his elbows resting on his thighs.April sighed and slowly walked to the door, opened it and stepped outside. She sniffed, trying to control her urge to cry as she made her way to her room. Her heart skipped a beat when she met Iver by her door.His hands were in his pockets and he leaned against the wall, staring at the floor as if there is something interesting he was looking at. April approached him, the excuse she was going to give if he asked her where she had been was already on her mind.He noticed her presence and looked up at her."For a moment ther

    "It looks better on you anyway." That sentence made April paused in her step. She blinked a few times, trying to make sure she heard him right and he had really said that to her.She gathered herself and walked composedly till she was out of the closet. Immediately she was out of sight, she leaned against the wall and her palm flew to her left chest that was beating hard."You've really got it bad, April," she whispered to herself.While April was melting on the inside, Orion was regretting saying too much.April smiled, "was he flirting with me?""Never!" her subconscious shouted in her ears and her smile faded."I know, right?" she whispered with a look of defeat.She heard a sound from the closet that indicate Orion standing up from the chair and she ran to the door, hurried out and shut the door. She continued her race, running until she reached her room.Iver, in the other room frowned. He didn't need to go out of the room to know the pounding of feet he just heard was April's d

    "So, he didn't remember any of it?" Carlene asked, raising an eyebrow."How am I supposed to know, I can't seem to read him these days. It used to be easy, you know, figuring him out I mean," April sighed.Carlene had asked for the full gist after she got pulled into April's room, leaving no room for secrets. Currently, she was sitting cross-legged on April's bed while April sat on the chair by her desk, looking defeated."So......you took advantage of my drunk brother," Carlene said."How did you come to that conclusion?" April asked. She slowly rubbed the side of her head with her index and middle finger, "you and Orion are giving me a migraine. He was the one who pulled me against him, how many times do I have to say that?""So....what are you going to do now?" Carlene asked."I wish I know," April exhaled heavily. "Get out of my room, I have class by nine.""Whatever."*"I mean he did not even look up at me. How am I supposed to propose a private discussion if he won't even give

    "Make sure you exclude everything that happened during the weekend from you report to my father," April heard Orion's voice from her sleep."As you wish," Another voice she recognized to be Knox, replied.She stretched and turned on her side, relishing in the scent, warmness and softness of the bed she was on. The satisfaction felt by her soul made her let out an elongated hum of relief."By the way, what is she doing here?" Knox asked."I guess I will have to ask that when she's awake," Orion replied with a chuckle."Why do I feel like you are happy with her doing this?" Knox asked."You are the one who felt like that, why are you asking me why?" Orion replied coyly."You know what I mean," Knox said and that was when April started becoming conscious of her surroundings as her eyes parted open.From the ceiling, her eyes moved downward over the walls till it landed on Orion and Knox. Orion was standing at the end of the couch, fixing his cuff links while Knox was opposite him, his ha

    That night, Mr and Mrs Caddel made sure to gather everyone in the dining room as they all sat with their plates in front of them, Mrs Caddel had cooked dinner. April didn't know how how her mother got Collin to comply but all she knew was that her mother had went in his room and said some things to him that seemed to move him a bit.Mrs Caddel had been the speaker, the peacemaker for the night. After her speech and preaching, she had urged them to sincerely apologize to Orion."I don't need their apology. All I need from them is to tolerate one another and stop acting immature," Orion had said without looking at any of them, he was the only one eating.He doesn't seem really interested in the peacemaking arrangement, he just looked detached and cold. They weren't used to seeing him like that and his siblings knew that they had really gone beyond boundaries.No one was keeping malice against the other anymore, all they just wanted was Orion's forgiveness, which he claimed to have give

    "What?" Orion whispered out."Just speaking the truth here, why do you look so surprised?" Iver challenged.Orion swiftly took hold of Iver's collar with his left hand, jerking him forward while his right fist raised in the air with force.It never connected with Iver's face and Iver never even flinched, like he already knew Orion would never do it. Orion slowly lowered his fist, his palm unfolding. He released his grip on Iver's collar, smoothing it down before taking a step away from him."Let's stop here," Orion said, looking betrayed.Iver was about to open his mouth for another heartbreaking sentence when April spoke."Iver, please stop," April pleaded with a shaky voice and Iver sighed, shutting his mouth.Orion turned away from Iver and faced Carlene."Take your brother to his room," he said and Carlene did as told, helping Collin to his room.Then, he turned to April. "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine," April replied.He gave a nod and turned towards the stairs, he started walki
