-Chapter 28-- Lustful Dreams about her that haunts me-

Emma seemed much more relaxed these days than a few weeks ago. It has been 4 days since she testified in court.

One thing that did not sit right with me was the bastard who was eyeing her throughout the whole trial. She seemed so uncomfortable under his dark stare that it made me want to make him disappear from the face of the earth.

For some reason, my mother has been acting strange whenever Kevin and Emma are in the same room. She even ordered me to keep a very close eye on my twin and KEEP HIM away from Emma at all cost… When both Emma and her father were far from earshot of course.

Questioning Kevin was useless because he wouldn't tell me what happened and asking Emma is out of the question. The last thing I want is to put her in an awkward situation.

What the hell happened when all four of them were upstairs that day? That's the only question that kept popping into my mind whenever my mother's eyes sharpen when Kevin gets too close to Emma.

Fortunately, Kevin hasn't tried to approach her these past few days. He has been going to sleep in the park more often instead of entering Emma's bedroom late at night and suffocating her with his hug until sunrise.

And whenever he doesn't go out to sleep in the park. I would secretly check up on him in case he has gotten tired of keeping his distance from her at night.

I'm glad he has finally decided to go easy on her and let her recover emotionally from whatever pain still lingers in her heart and mind.

"Dude... Look at your brother, go again. Sarah is going to be pissed when she sees that. " Mike jerks his head towards the location where my brother is leaning his body weight against the grey wall.

Through the bodies of teenagers dancing to the upbeat music and the cloud of smoke in the air, I could make out a curvy short figure adorned with a tight black dress that accentuated her small waist.

Her manicured hands were lightly positioned on his abdomen as she bats her long eyelashes up at him in a flirtatious way. A sly grin stretched on those plump red lips.

Her hands never strayed off his body for the past 5 minutes.

The short brunette is almost afraid to lose the interest he has in her that she has gained in such a short amount of time... If she takes her hands off him.

These days Kevin has been into brunettes for some odd reason. He usually likes redheads or Raven haired females… That is his preference when he chooses a new toy to mess with.

I was wondering more of his change of type while Mike talked my ears off about stuff I didn't care to listen to. And now that he's intoxicated, he utters more nonsense that makes no sense at all. What do I care if pigs are going to be able to fly in 30 years from now… that isn't my damn problem.

From the corner of my eye, Mike's girl... Who's seated on one of the kitchen black stools softly frowned the more she stared at them.

Her blue eyes shined with a spark of jealousy… She's fortunate that her boyfriend is out of his senses.

I'll never understand why she would risk doing something out of her comfort zone. It seems like she likes danger even if it is going to ruin her in the end.

When she caught me staring at her. Her blue eyes slightly widen and her cheeks redden up a bit. She softly bit her bottom lip and gazed down.

As innocent as she betrays to be on the outside, she knows she is not like that from the inside.

It is funny that she thinks that's going to work with me. It is also amusing to see her believe that she can control and fix my brother… has she not learned from her bestie that nobody can make my brother stop his way of having a little too much fun.

He's like a sex addict… He can't control himself, sometimes. And I don't blame him for being that way…. With all the shit he and I have been through, I'm surprised we have not gone off the deep end.

At least he takes out his frustration the only way he knows how to without hurting anyone.

Nobody forces them to sleep with him, they all go willingly knowing how he is, and he clearly tells them from the beginning how it is going to be before they start going at each other.

He never tricks them into anything, they only trick themselves when they start believing that they can try to fix him like if he's some broken object they think they could fix with a few fucks and a cute smile. These girls are acting like they're in a cringy romance novel.

Sarah is the prime example of it. She knew how things are with my brother and she still has hope in making him only hers. Now she is just going to have to face reality and listen to her two besties. My brother is never going to change for her. And that's just the brutal truth.

The danceable upbeat music blasted throughout the enormous house as the strong smell of liquor and cigarettes hung thickly in the room filled with bodies dancing up against each other.

Losing interest in my brother's affair I gulped down the rest of the strong liquor in my red solo cup, placed it on the white island, and quickly made myself directly towards the bathroom on the second floor of this enormous house. Of course, getting there was a struggle in itself.

I had to shove some of the intoxicated teens out my fucking way. And when the other saw me shoving some of these idiots out of my path the others who were there watching got the memo to get whoever they knew out of my way before they also ended up on the ebony floor on their ass or face.

The loud booming music, muffled when I entered the bathroom and shut the door behind me.

Finally, I'm alone. Parties were not my scene, but to keep an eye on my twin brother I had to come and pretend that I do. Usually, fights break out and he's always in the middle of it.

Of course, at a party like this, there are all kinds of dealers. Half of the idiots downstairs are on something from Lsd, cocaine, ecstasy, weed to many different poisons that will have their parents screaming bloody murder while putting them in rehabilitation for a whole year.

The safest one of the bunch is weed. And that is the one I'm going to smoke now.

Smoking a joint is better than fucking a random bitch that morphs into Emma in my mind halfway through the sexual act.

Yes, for some reason my brain has been doing that more often … And then I just can't go through with it to the end. It's pathetic but it was better than feeling guilty afterward. It's ironic of the things I feel guilty for...

My focus goes back to the black door when the music is unmuffled for a second then it muffles again when it closes.

A deep sigh left my lips when I detected who entered the small dark, dimly lit bathroom. It's like this bitch doesn't get the memo in leaving me the heck alone and understanding that I'm not interested in her.

She saw my narrow eyes and she began to avoid my heated stare for a few seconds just to reconnect them again.

"Why-Why has your brother been ignoring me?"Jules speaks softly, her tone tinged with hurt and anger.

Is this girl out of her fucking mind? She folded her arms in front of her chest trying to act like my glare doesn't bother her as she leaned her hips on the white sink counter with a frown slightly emerging on her face.

"I don't fucking know. You should go ask him, yourself…

Or maybe, You should just forget that you ever fucked him. And go back to your damn boyfriend who currently needs you right now if you haven't noticed. "

She rolled her eyes when she heard the last sentence that came out of my mouth.

She hasn't given up trying to entrap me in her web of lust despite my harsh rejections.

These past few days she has been trying to seduce me whenever she catches me alone. She wasn't making it easier for me in keeping myself out of the issue that is about to boil over if she keeps doing these types of stupid things out in the open.

Her being inside here with me was a problem in itself, and she clearly knows that. If anyone saw both of us entering this small place. Rumors will spread like wildfire the next day... of us both being inside here doing who knows what.

Those low life's wild imaginations will take over and add unnecessary stuff that never happened.

The last thing I want is to have a problem with Mike. He may be an annoying dumbass that I want to throw over a cliff 95 percent of the time but he's an honest guy. He honestly is the only person that doesn't pretend to be something that he's not, and he is the only authentic friend that I have that doesn't pretend to like my brother and me.

My brother fucked up in getting into this bitch pants. He knew how much Mike was into this bitch. Just thinking about how I'm going to fix this was giving me a headache. I really need to smoke before I lose my damn mind.

"Get the fuck out."

"What is your fucking problem? "

"You are the fucking problem… Now get out so I can smoke my DAMN joint IN PEACE. " She huffs with tears ready to spill down her cheeks.

She was being overly dramatic for no damn reason. She stays there watching me… Contemplating if she should leave or stay here and keep on talking some more bullshit.

"You have never liked me, have you?"

"…."Silence filled the small bathroom, as the muffled music played in the background filled in the awkward mood that took over the dark dimly lit room.

"No. If you weren't Mike's girl, I wouldn't even know you existed, to be honest with you." I place the weed stick in between my lips and light it up.

Hurt flashed through those bright blue eyes as tears were now spilling down her cheeks that were starting to take this pink tint to it.

The reason I don't like her from the very beginning, Is that... There's something off about this chick. She gives me bad vibes.

She finally took her leave. And closes the door behind her harshly. It's good that the little serpent in sheep's clothing is gone.

◈◐◈◐◈◐◈◐◈◐◈◐◈

After a while the weed took effect. Here I'm sitting on top of the toilet top, rejoicing in this euphoric feeling that is taking over my mind and soul.

The feeling was the same I felt when Emma's around me. When she throws me that cute small smile that makes my heart beat uncontrollably fast.

Closing my eyes was the wrong move because vivid images of the dreams I have been having every night plagued my mind.

Images of her in positions deemed unholy, and me doing unholy things to her body.

I'm a mess… Maybe, if I get laid these crazy dreams and emotions would end.

Guilt consumes me when I take in the pleasurable feeling of those memories. Fuck… If only those dreams were real. It would make me the happiest person alive.

A buzz broke me out of my sinful euphoric thoughts, as the annoying little ring followed behind. Slowly sliding out my smartphone from my dark jeans, I stare at the bright-lit screen.

The first thing that popped up on my screen was a text from Melissa.

3:22 am

This was not the best time for her talks… Just like her bestie, she thinks she could change me. It's like both of them convinced themselves that they could fix us both.

At first, it was fun messing with them but now they are getting annoying as fuck. Why the hell did I let myself be convinced by my brother to joke around like this. The more time this stupid idea of his played out the more I regretted agreeing to this bullshit.

My focus pulled again to the phone when another text popped up. This time it was Kevin.

3:26am

Really? Wasn't he going to have a "fun time" with the short brunette?... He better not be drunk because he's driving tonight.

𝑳𝒆𝒐: Yeah. bathroom upstairs.

I get up and make myself to the sink, turn on the faucet to cold, and splashed some cold water on my face, just trying to diminish the redness of my eyes. Fuck… Richard will surely notice I'm on something.

"Bang, bang, bang."

"!!!" The bathroom door opens and the booming music becomes much clearer, flowing inside the small dark room with ease.

I threw a sharp glare at my brother who was by the doorway, leaning on the door frame with a raised eyebrow.

"I guess I wasn't the only one living it up." My eyes rolled when I heard him spew out those words.

"What happened to the short girl?"

He shrugged as he let out with humor, "When we were about to get down and dirty another short girl with long blue dreads popped out of nowhere claiming to be her girlfriend.

Right now, they are arguing downstairs."

"…." How the heck does he always find himself in odd situations? Is this guy a magnet for trouble?

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't even know she had a girlfriend… Leon. The last thing I want is a hurt chick coming for my neck.

At least that furious shorty knew it wasn't my fault that her girl was going to cheat.

She was the calmest and the most reasonable one out of all the ones who caught their girlfriend in the act with me." He seemed disappointed but amused that the angry girlfriend did not blame him for the disloyalty from her partner.

"Okay. Good," fewer problems to clean up later down the road. Splashing my face with cold water for the final time, I quickly made myself out of the small bathroom, and then down the cramped hallway… filled with teens going at each other. These people need to find a damn room for goodness sake.

The music strangely became quieter as I descended the stairs. The first thing that caught my attention was a loud female voice loaded with rage and hurt, yelling profanities at another girl who was bawling her eyes out in the center of the room.

A short chick with long blue dreads was openly quarreling with the brunette that had her hands on Kevin's abdomen a while ago. I guess Kevin wasn't lying.

Both ladies were in a circle of low life's that formed around them, enjoying the show and videotaping it with their smartphones. This is going to be the hot new gossip that spreads throughout the school tomorrow.

Making myself outside, I take in the nice soft breeze that hits my face. It felt better being out here.

I passed Kevin the keys to the vehicle as I closely examined him to see if he showed any sign of intoxication. Luckily he didn't.

Finally, I'm getting the hell out of here and going home. I just hope Richard isn't awake by the time we get there.
