"Hey, Peter!" Joining hands with our famous class president, I adjust the bag strap on my shoulder as it was almost recess.
"Hey, Cass! How's it going?" He meant life."Not good, boss. Not good at all.""Damn. Tell me, sis.""Nothing you should know but hey, would you please pass Ms Kelly this note? I have the signature of the principal on it. I'm sick and I'm leaving early today." I say."Sick with what?" He touches my forehead."Sick with boys, babe. Bye!" I rush off after kissing him on the cheek. And yes, he is gay and has the biggest, fattest crush on LJ.LeBron James. Just kidding.LJ is our school captain. One of the rich-looking people I've ever seen in real life with his starlit morals and values of a gentleman. I almost fell for him too, I admit. But lucky for Peter because James Lee is gay to function.Running with a smile on my face, I get to the mansion where only we five happen to stay. Louis has his penthouse of course. That makes him available for his office work but at times, he likes to drop by.And you know the reason already."I'm home, Ms Zee!" I yell to my maid. As you can see, I am the only girl in the family and Mr Johnson never married any woman again because his wife ran away with a rich guy of those times.Fate had a lot on her plate for her because the guy she ran away with was impotent and seemingly a failure in business. Just two years younger than dad himself.Meanwhile, Dad began expanding his empire in revenge and later handed it over to Louis because obviously, my oldie was growing older day by day.Confused with her feelings, she demanded of him. She wanted to come back to dad and reclaim her position as Mrs Johnson but shit was too late. I told him once that if she ever was seen in front of me, I would slap her for him.Back to the scenario, Ms Zee welcomes me home as she sweetly kisses my forehead and I almost wag my imaginary tail."What have I got to eat today?""Oh well, Cassie-""I'll tell you what you have to eat for today, dear sister." The deep manly voice of the Spanish-decent man greets me. Gulping, I turn around to find the eldest of the brothers sitting on the couch, manspreading and all.Those gray sweatpants again..."Like the view, sister?" He points to the flowers sitting on the table in front of the couch but we damn well knew what he was talking about."Ms Zee. He's home. You may head back to your family, thank you." I say to Ms. Zee as she bows to me and walks away, closing the door behind herself.Louis was hiding the whiskey glass behind him as he sips on the drink with no rocks."Should I tell you to come here or you're coming on your own?" He says."I'm hungry, wait." Redirecting myself to the kitchen to grab myself a plate of what seems to be my favorite, I head over to the couch."Wrong seat, gorgeous." He says when I sit beside him. He pats on his thigh as I look at him with an expression."On me. Come on." He says and I knew I should not disobey the eldest one.Straddling his thighs as he holds my plate along with the whiskey, I am pulled closer while a squeak emits from my throat. I can say that he is hard enough to poke me through our clothes."It's not your day today, Louis," I say, thanking him as I take my plate and start eating. As he speaks, I am obliged to smell the disgusting smell of whiskey from his mouth as I turn my head away."Not every day is mine, but tomorrow is. That's why I'm here." He reminds me."Okay. Well, Alex is coming home soon." I say, watching the time to be 1:40. I have twenty minutes in hand."I know," I observe the smirk that grows on his face as I eat slowly, my appetite turning off because of the alcoholic smell and the fact that I might be late if I keep eating."I gotta go." Announcing, I begin to climb away from his lap but he retains the position as I fall back on his dense lap again."Eat. You're too skinny already."When I say I have such caring brothers in the world, this is what I mean."I heard that flaxseeds improve breast sizes in women. I brought a pack of it from the store today. Have a spoon every day.""I know. But I need to massage them to grow them or they will shrink because of the estrogen in them. Basic science fact." I say, tapping on his forehead as he irritatedly looks at me."What are we for then? You eat flax and we will massage your chest every day for you."Crap.Holy shit."Tell me why am I stopping myself from kissing you?""Because Alex is very possessive and he might walk in at any moment now." He says. I'm sure Louis has luck on his side because as soon as he says that, we hear the doorbell ring."One last bite. I made it for you.""Really? Thanks, Lu! Well, I'm off. Discard it for me please." I finally get back to my feet with my core sustainably wet.There was no need for me to present myself in fancy lingerie. I did not possess a set for myself either.Quickly getting on my fours after Louis goes to open the door, the brothers greet each other as I quickly remove all of my clothing and make Alex's room dark enough to set the mood.His door, however, has a code. Yes. He likes to keep his things private and only we both gave him the eligibility to enter the room."Is she in there?" His voice was way too close to the door and I hear him mention of me."She is. Have fun, but don't be too loud Alex. You hurt my ego.""Not my fault that she screams my name louder than any of you."I could see a person jogging towards us from the corner of my eye. Of course, I didn't pay any heed to the person because it was immaterial. But as the person's panting was much clearer as he was getting closer, I widened my eyes. No...this is the worst possible scenario I could have been caught up into! "Cassandra..?" I stand up at once, looking at Zayn. He is panting, and he adjusts his spectacles before sighing. "Hey, Klarksman. What are you doing here?" Composing himself almost immediately, Zayn asks Mark who stands up as well."Just having a jog before going back to town, professor. What about you? This is such a small world, isn't it? I just bumped into her before you got to us." Mark says the truth. Zayn turns to look at me, and I nod...forcing a smile. It takes a few seconds for Zayn to respond as he says,"I agree with that. I was walking to my house and happened to see you both. Wanted to show up and say hello, but it seems like you're busy by yourselves." Zayn makes a sna
"What are you doing here, Mark?" I ask the man who tilts his head to the side. He looks around us as if trying to come up with an answer. "I hope this is a public space, haha. It's a park, if you didn't know that." He responds quirkily. I shake my head vigorously and repeat myself once again. "That's not what I mean— Leave it. It's ruined anyway." Defeated, I sit back down on the metal bench. "Oh...I sense trouble. If you want to tell me about something, I'm right here." Walking around me, Mark takes the space on the bench beside me. I keep staring at him. He takes his earphones out, stuffing them in his pockets. This young man has more patience than I could ever have. He waits for a whole few minutes before I speak. I explain the situation I am in. Of course, I didn't dare reveal his name. But Mark is now aware that I'm dating a corporate middle-aged man as soon as I turn 18. He nods his head, understanding my situation. "Have you...ever been in a relationship?" I ask Mark. Some
His eyes widen. I was right all along. He was feeling indifferent towards Mark since the day he met him but I never knew it for sure...until now. I cross my arms on my chest and glare at him. "Don't look at me like that. That is completely natural for me to feel as if you have clicked with Mark. He seemed to pique your interest. And honestly, you're not the only one, sweetheart. I mean, other girls look at him too—" I cut him off quickly. How dare he!? He realizes way too quickly and tries to control the damage he's done. But I was already scoffing at him, trying not to raise my voice. "Zayn. What do you even mean by that? Do you realize how that reflects on ME!?" He stands up at my words at once! He tries to approach me, but I swerve from his touch swiftly,"Don't touch me, Zayn. Do you think I would be attracted to Mark just like all the other girls? How could you even think I would have eyes for another man while I've been waiting for you for two fucking lives!?" I scream at him
"Who was that, darling?" A gasp escapes my lips as I turn around to see Zayn entering the room. His eyebrows knot together, he closes the door behind himself. "Did I scare you?" He asks, chuckling...uncomfortably. "No, not at all! I was on a call with my um...friend. The new guy from England in our class?" I ask, feeling the tightness in my chest as I do so. What is wrong with me?"Uh-huh. Mark Klarksman. He had a splendid academic record on his mark sheet. What about him?" I hear him say and watch him approach me as he speaks. He now stands in front of me, arms folded against his chest. "About him...nothing special. He wanted to surprise me for my birthday yesterday, but since I haven't gone to school..." My words started fading as I couldn't express myself well. I hear Zayn sighing. It makes me lift my head to meet his gaze. "Please tell me what he's told you on the call." Sounding annoyed, Zayn asks me."He...wanted to hang out with me today since he would be leaving briefly to
Cassandra's POV The atmosphere around the room wasn't as awkward as I had expected. That made me chuckle and lighten the mood all the more. I'm pretty confident that Zayn would be able to handle his cousin for having a loud mouth!"He's the troublesome cousin you were talking about, right?" I lean towards Zayn, who had just sat down and asked. He adjusts on his seat, sighing his heart away. That gives me my answer. "Oh, the bread is really good." I felt the bread melt in my mouth before I commented. "That is our chef's favourite sourdough bread. He's become an expert at that!" Zayn responds to me. "It's so soft and warm and moist. Oh lord, I've never eaten a more delicious bread than this!" I exclaim, but looking at Zayn's pervy face, I roll my eyes. "I know what else is soft and warm and moist, baby girl." I knew that was coming from his mouth. The breakfast concludes quickly yet I'm full to my chest! It was so fresh, scrumptious and nothing but perfection. Although, I leave Zay
Curse my blindness. Cassandra and I look at each other and back at the door. The man who just entered has seen my junk and everything! It was such an awkward position as well! "I think he's seen all of it," Cassandra says, dangling my spectacles in front of me. I wear it, bringing myself back to earth. Was it Ronan, perhaps? He's probably the only one who hasn't met Cassandra yet. And they're almost the same age as well. He's just one year older, or I suppose. "Don't bother. He's just your cousin!" Chuckling as she wakes up, Cassandra assures me. Suddenly, her body intertwined with mine as she got on top of me, naked. "The door is still open, might as well remind you," I say, watching her adjust as I hold her waist. "And I don't care, might as well remind you." Cassandra sassily repeated my words as a smile just couldn't help but burst into a smirk on my lips. I cover her back with the sheets, covering myself as well."I like this confidence in you," I say, letting her take my spe
