"Are you flirting with me?" April asked.Of course, the question didn't go past her lips to be spoken out, she was asking in her own mind. As if by some miracle, he would hear her and answer the question to soothe her curiosity."What is happening here?" Another voice asked at the same time, but the voice, in contrast to hers, was heard.April's eyes snapped past Orion to the figure of Collin, who stood a few meters away, a look of anger in his eyes. Orion slowly withdrew from April."Watch your steps," he said with a calm voice before proceeding up the stairs, ignoring Collin's question."What is going on between you two?" Collin asked after Orion disappeared from sight."What do you mean?"April asked with a frown.He walked closer to April and she stood her ground even though he looked angry. Why he was upset, she couldn't figure it out."Don't pretend to be clueless. You two looked like you were about to kiss or something," Collin said.Collin's statement made April conclude that s

It's Thursday and it's been two weeks since April and Nate started talking, he's been hanging out with her friends. April found him fun to talk to and she enjoys his presence, not in a romantic way though.He had asked her out for coffee dates twice now. And today, he invited her and her other two friends to his house to babysit his little brother together, promising her it would be fun with his three other siblings, April agreed after the others did.It was all part of university experience, she doesn't want to miss out on anything. Besides, she always wanted to know how it feels like to deal with a younger sibling.She however, have started noticing little hints that made her realize that Rita might be right about Nate liking her. Nonetheless, she refuses to jump into conclusion until she heard it directly from him.She would have to turn him down if it ever comes to that. Not that he wasn't attractive or her type, it's just that her heart already chose another. Her heart already be

She had him right where she wanted him, or so she thought."It's up to you. Since you said he's responsible and kind, I guess he really is a good person to be in a relationship with. That's what you deserve, a good and responsible guy." he said and April's mind sank.She was disappointed. But Orion wasn't done."However, I personally don't think it's a good idea to say 'yes'. Dating while studying bring distractions, you need to focus on your studies. And who knows, it might just be temporary attraction. Like I told you the other day, you fall too easy, you might end up realizing he's not as good as you thought. Human beings are deceptive." Orion finished his speech and cleared his throat.April folded in her lips to keep her from smiling. All she could interpret his speech as is 'I'm not comfortable with the idea of you dating, you should reject Nate'. he thought he was sleek but she caught him too easily."I left your meal in your room, Mom made it," she informed him and he gave a

It was Monday and April woke with a light heart, after getting rid of the heavy load weighing on her heart, also known as how to reject Nate. She couldn't bare to tell him face to face and had sent him a text.He called her after that and they had a long talk. Thankfully, he is mature enough and know how to handle rejection. Now, they are just going to pretend like nothing happened and continue being friends.She skipped down the stairs to the dining room, only Orion had arrived there. "Good morning," she chirped and kissed his cheek. Smiling, she went to take her seat."Good morning, seems like you had a sweet dream," he said with a smile of his own. "None of that. Today's Rita's birthday, we planned a little surprise party for her at Nate's place.Orion's smile gradually disappeared."Nate? So you will be having a sleepover at the guy's place again?" he frowned."No, class ends by twelve. We lure her there, surprise her, dine and wine, spend a few hours and go to our different ho

April fell against his chest with a soundless gasp and he held her with both arms in reflex, letting go after a few seconds."April, are you okay?" he asked with a frown, wondering why she was stalling outside his door."I couldn't sleep. I kept feeling like they would suddenly appear on my bed again," she confessed, a bit embarrassed.He noticed."It's undersatandable. Do you....want to sleep here?" he asked.April hesitated for a few seconds before she nodded. He gestured for her to go on and she walked further into the room while he shut the door. She reached his bed and sat down at the edge."You can have the bed," Orion said."Then.....where will you sleep?" she asked, already knowing the answer he would give."On the couch," he replied and walked to her."Get comfortable," he said and April shifted up the bed, laying down on her back and he pulled the covers over her."I'm sorry for inconveniencing you," she said."You know you are not, April. I would have come to your had you n

"What do you want this time?""I'll put it on myself," she said."Fine. Go ahead," Orion said.Raising herself to stand on her tiptoes, she passed the tie around his neck. He bent a bit to make it easier for her. When she was done, he walked to his full length mirror to observe her work and was satisfied."You did good," he praised."I know, right?" April said smugly and he pushed the uninjured side of her head lightly with his index finger, making her giggle."I have a request. Can you not get angry with Carlene over what happened?" Orion wasn't expecting that. As far he knows, she and Carlene doesn't see eye to eye so it was weird hearing that sentence from April."If you are thinking that me making her face the consequence of her action will be your fault, then stop thinking that way because you will be wrong. I already gave a warning as to what would happen if she misbehaved," Orion said sternly."It wasn't deliberate though. I believe it was just meant to be a harmless prank on

"So....your brother, is he single?" Carlene asked and April found herself giving a reply without hesitation."You are not his type," April said firmly."What? And you think he's my type?" Carlene asked as if it's the most preposterous thing to assume, "Oh please.""Then, why are you asking?" April asked."Just because. A girl can't be curious?" she raised an eyebrow.April continued what she was doing and silence ensued for a minute before she spoke."Don't like my brother, you will end up getting heartbroken," April said."That's the same thing I wanted to say to you," Carlene said and April's head whipped up."What do you mean?" she asked."You know What I mean, April. I'm not blind or clueless, I pick up on things faster than you think," Carlene replied."Then you should know that I don't just like him, I'm in love with him and I'm not ashamed of it," April confessed with full confidence."Why do you think I will end up getting heartbroken if I like your brother?" Carlene asked cur

"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

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

"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
