Today was like the day I met him: Me, riding a bicycle and him, walking down the pavement. I grab the handle of the bicycle and watch him as he make his way towards me. I do not know why I feel nervous. A trickle of sweat drip on the side of my face, my heart beat fast and I could hardly breathe. He was meters away, until it grow shorter to a foot and then bam, he bumped into me and we fall down, him on top of me. This felt like a deja vù, like it was our very first encounter. We scurried to get up but ended up bumping our heads together. I glared at him as he got up, He didn't even offer me a hand. He didn’t even give me a second glance. He just passed by me. Not noticing me. Not even looking at me. I let go of the bicycle and turn to face him. I remove the helmet that I was wearing and grip it tightly before screaming, “YAH! My hands curled into a fist and before I know it, the helmet I was holding was already flying towards him.I raise my hand as if to save him but it collided on his head right before I could even react. It sounded a hollow thump and a pronounced groan. His hands made his way to the back of his head as he turn and face me. With those eyes that seem like it was murdering me, he chase me off and I hastily took my bicycle and ran. I couldn’t help but feel happy instead of guilty as he ran after me. This was like before. This was like that summer, that summer I met him.

That Summer I met Him EPILOGUE
•••EPILOGUEALEXI look down at the chicken I prepared. I just followed the stuffs that was in the cookbook and sigh when the outcome wasn't like it was on the picture. I slapped my hand on the book and it fell down on the floor. I did not dare to pick it up for I'm so annoyed right now.It's been almost a year after that very mind blowing prank--and surprise at the same time--Cade and Caine with the guys, have given me. It really surprises me when the guys told me that it was their entire plan including that of Cade and Caine fighting. Caiden thought it was all true but by the time he went to the airport, the twins followed him and told him about all this.I cannot forget those memories we've had back on that island. The way we walk around the streets of London, have gone to the city of love and the ancient architectures at Italy, it's all perfect. I would like to repeat that all over again."Hey, sweet cheeks" Someone kissed me from behind and I turn around to see no other than Ca

Chapter Thirty- SixALEXI wanted to ask him for answers. Different questions swarm my mind like annoying flies as we drove away to the outskirts of the city. We entered a familiar road and my familiar hometown of Manhattan.I look at him and mumbled, 'why' against the masking tape on my mouth but he just smiled at me as he drove down. He paused for another second again as he covered my eyes. We continue our slow pace down the road and finally stopped.Hands gathered me on their warmth as spring was about to bloom. I can hear people whispering and I was curious as hell, trying to pry the blindfold but I couldn’t. I was trying to hear their conversation but someone put a wireless earphone on my ear. ‘Blurred lines’ blared and I almost cringe in discomfort, except I feel like my body was swaying with the beat.'Where am I?' I tried to pull my arms just so I can remove the blindfold, earphones, masking tape and their hands but their grip is strong. The hands lead me into a room--I don't

Chapter Thirty- FiveALEXI sat there, trying to wrap my head around on what had just happen. I thought everything would go smoothly, that nothing in my past will bother me anymore.My exhibit has gone well, actually all of my paintings were sold out, the boys visit wasn't expected but I'm happy to have them. The one I do not expect is my encounter with Caiden. He has change, physically. His boy looks matured into that a man. His tousled brown hair was cropped short. His blue eyes were the same but it shone darkly every time his gaze transferred to me.His presence surprises me. Though as the exhibit finally finishes and we were only the people in the room, I remain there, standing, looking at him. He was also looking at me, a million words threatening to spill out of him but he was so proud to say it to me. I stood there, heart on my throat as I let my feelings rule me, “I’ve missed you. Where have you been? I am so worried that I—““You’ve missed me?” His confusion and unbelief win

Chapter Thirty-FourCAIDEN3 years after"Signor,""Signor?"."Signor!" I was startled out of my trance by no other than Lilia."S-si?” I look at her questioningly and watch her pass the phone, "It's Signor Jake. He’s been meaning to talk to you, signor" She walks off hiding her smile to herself.I glared at the phone and answered it, "Hey bro," he giggled like a school girl and I can imagine my own eyes bulging out of their socket.Hmmm… there's something weird going on here. I've never heard him sound so ridiculous like he is right now. I look up to see Lilia looking at me behind the cupboards.I shook my head and made my way out to the patio. I listen to Jake babbling about me not spending time with them and so on. I never bothered to speak and interrupt. I just lay down here, relaxing on the wooden benches as the wind blew. The wide vineyard I have acquired 2 years ago was now fully operational. In a few months time, I could easily create a new concoction. I waited for my chance

Chapter Thirty ThreeCAINEI was driving past the speed limit but I couldn't care less. I just wanted to see her. I look at my brother to see him asleep with his right hand nursing his left arm. A bruise was slowly developing on his right cheek and blood was gushing out of his busted lip.Well, he deserves that for what he has done to Alex.We reach the hospital and I quickly asked the nurse on what room she is currently situated in. She gave me the number of the room and I quickly rush towards the elevator, not waiting for my brother to catch up.I guess his lucky stars are with him for he was fast enough to board inside the elevator, quite unbelievable for he has a broken knee. We reached the fifth floor and the door of the elevator slide open. nThe nurses are curiously giving me a look as they gaze at me and my twin. One of them even asked him if he was okay but he just pushed them off and limped faster.He really is my brother...I arrived at the farther side of the wing only to b

Chapter Thirty TwoCAINEI stared down at my shattered phone on the floor all because of my twin brother.That ignorant piece of shiz got them on an accident. Now Alex was on the hospital. One of the nurses informed me that Alex was in a critical condition. Dang it. I should have accompanied her. Nothing like these would have happened if I go with her. Shit.I have a flight due two hours later this afternoon. I was trying to call my twin but he's nowhere to be found. Absolutely nowhere. That piece of shit would really get it if I get a hold of him.As I pick up my other phone, a letter fell down from the table. I picked it up to see the contract. The contract we made back when we were eight years old. The one that made me yearned for her.The one that made me crazy over her that I have tried to go back even though I know that it is risky.As I hold the paper on one hand, the memory flashes itself on my mind and I found myself going back unto that momentFlashback'Dwayne, I miss you'

Chapter Thirty OneALEXI arrived at the airport at exactly two in the morning. I asked Caine if he could track his twin and here I am entering a bar. There's smoke everywhere, bodies swaying with the music and couples grinding at each other.I spotted them in the far end corner of the room, that familiar bronze haired Adonis with a blonde bimbo on his lap. I stared at the two of them making out.Oh, how could they do this to me? How could he do this to me?I push my way through the crowd and put my hand in front of his face. He looked up at me and I can see his eyes turn into a darker shade of blue. The emotion reflected unto them were anger, longing and something I can't decipher. Was it, betrayal?Our little trance was broken when I was pulled back by no other than Tiffany. She slapped me and that made me snap. I pulled her hair and punched her. I slapped her face, while she clawed on my skin. Every inch of my skin was burning but I won't stop."Raaaa!" I screamed while launching a

Chapter ThirtyCAIDENI stared at Alex and to that unfamiliar man. I figured that it was him, it was Dwayne. They look so peaceful and so happy with each other. I watch as the man put his arms on her back and began speaking. I couldn’t hear much so I went closer to them. “—was the main reason of their fight. I am the reason why we can’t be a happy family. I am their burden.” I listen more, intrigued. What does he mean of being a burden? What story is he trying to engrave on Alex’s mind.“—visit to the hospital came after…Mom was crying so hard, begging him not to do it. As a seven year old, I just watch them with curious eyes. Dad took me—He talked to people I do not really know. Then, the result was revealed. I was shocked—I was not his son.” What? Shizballs this is crazy. This man is really crazy.I inch closer so I could hear him clearer, “He became distant after that. He rarely comes home which made my mom cry all the time. Then suddenly, all of that changed” I couldn’t help it.

Chapter Twenty NineCAINEIt was hard to claw my way back from the past, but it’s harder to talk about the present especially when it is very much connected to the past. I took a deep breath before I continued, my eyes still focused on her.“Do you remember that day at the park when I was crying because dad left?” Alex nodded her head, eagerly listening. “It all started then… when I was crying at the park and you saw me struggling, trying to catch up with my father who is blowing off steam by escaping his problems, specifically me.” I feel my Adam’s apple bobbed as I gulped. “I was the main reason of their fight. I am the reason why we can’t be a happy family. I am their burden.”And so I’m drifting back to the past as I retold her about everything.“The visit to the hospital came after a week long without my dad. Mom was crying so hard, begging him not to do it. As a seven year old, I just watch them with curious eyes. Dad took me to the hospital without caring at all about my mom. H
