C6 Happy Family

I closed the door of his room behind me and then looked downstairs from upstairs. Although I and Kevin didn't make any noise, I still wanted to make sure that mom and dad didn't hear anything.

I called the maid who was dusting the sofa in the hall and inquired about my parents.

She told me that they both went to Mr. Wilson's house ( our neighbor) an hour ago. I took a sigh of relief and then asked her where she was working a few minutes ago. She looked at me with strange eyes and then, coming from the hall to near the stairs, she told me that she had only slept for half an hour and requested me not to tell mom about it. I laughed in my mind, hearing her answer. I was afraid of nothing. I thought she must have heard something, but she was sleeping.

I sent her back and I myself went back to my room.

I closed the door behind me and walked towards the bed before dropping on it. As I was lying there, I was thinking about what happened today. I have known that boy since my childhood, the boy who I called my brother. I did something like that with him...? It was unbelievable, but then it was true. I didn't need to lie that I didn't like that and I wanted him to touch me more. I used to see him as my brother, but then my stupid heart started taking over what is right and wrong, and I started liking him. Even though I wanted to stop myself, I couldn't. I fell for a person I never should have.

I wondered if I would get another chance with him. But then it was my parents too. I knew the day they would find out what we did, they would get hurt and even hate me and Kevin. But hell, why did Kevin need to do that ? Until now, I had been hiding my feelings, and I was sure that I could do that for the rest of my life. But by doing that to me, he gave me hope, and I was afraid that this hope was just a lie, that it would never come true.

My mind was thinking over and over again about the same thing, and then it made me remember what happened a few minutes ago. I felt heat creeping into my cheeks and I was smiling shamelessly thinking about that. I grabbed the pillow and hugged it tightly before starting to roll on my bed in embarrassment.

Later in the evening, I changed my clothes after taking a warm bath and went downstairs.

As I went into the hall, I found mom and dad sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing. I went near them and sat down next to them. They also included me in their conversation and told me what happened at Uncle Wilson's house.

After a while, I also started laughing, knowing that Uncle was again going to get scammed by the false business plan. Uncle was just like that; his life was a real tragic comedy. Every day something new happened in his life, and whoever heard about it started laughing like I was doing.

"What are you three laughing about?" I raised my head as I heard the voice and saw Kevin standing near the sofa. He was wearing a white shirt and his arms were rolled up, just like always. He was looking hot.

He came and sat next to Dad. Dad also told him about Uncle Wilson, but unlike us, he didn't laugh. Instead, he tells Dad that Uncle Wilson is his friend, so he shouldn't laugh at his friend like that.

Dad raised his hand and hit Kevin's back hard. Although Kevin was already twenty-five, dad still treated him like a child, whom he could beat however he wanted to.

Kevin grabbed Dad's hand so Dad wouldn't hit him again, but instead of dad this time, mom hit him and he made a sad puppy face. We all started laughing seeing him like that, and then he also started laughing.

My whole family was laughing, and I felt happy to see them like that. But then my brain thought something bad and my laughter faded. I didn't want to see them sad ever again. I always wanted that laugh and smile on their faces, but at the same time, I was craving my happiness. It is hard to choose between something you love and something you want from the bottom of your heart.
