“What the fuck was all about back there, Xandry?” I grab his front shirt and push him against the wall strong enough that knocks the air out of his lungs. What he did in front of Camila is unacceptable.
“Whoa! Calm down. I was just messing with you.” He raises his hands up.
We’ve been like brothers since we were just kids. If he ever crosses the line again I will not think twice to punch him and break a bone or two of his face. Thank, God, he got the message that I’m trying to send him back there.
Taking a deep breath, I release him.
“I was not gratified with what you did back there. She could’ve had suspected what was that all about.” I release an exasperating sigh.
“So, that’s her, huh?” He cocks his brow and curves his lips into an infuriating smirk. His words give a painful lurch in my stomach.
“Don’t, Xandry,” I warn him.
“Don’t what?” His smile grows wider.
“I know what’s in that sick mind of yours. Don’t you fucking get near her if you value our family.”
He barks into a laugh, slapping my arm playfully. “What happened to I’ll-bang-you-for-tonight-only, cousin, huh? Turning into a pussy?” he jokes.
“No, douchébag. She’s Kyland’s cousin.”
“No, she’s not. You’re joking, right?” Xandry’s face turns pale with wide eyes. He shakes his head in disbelief.
“I’m serious. I don’t even know what I put myself into. We should stop this. Forget about this stupid bet. This will not do us any good,” I say fishing out the keys from my pocket.
“You cannot turn down the bet anymore, Pyke. It’s too late for you to back out,” he says with a clenched jaw.
“Fine, but don’t you dare touch her. Do you fucking understand me?” I warn, glaring at him.
There is something going on in his fucking mind, and it terrifies me, but I’m going to figure it out before I will regret not doing it. I’ve known him since we were kids and I know exactly how his mind works.
“A deal is a deal,” he demands. “By the way, she’s hot. Threesomes would be awesome.”
“Fuck you! Get the fuck away from here before I’m going to break your jaw!”
I wanted to punch him so badly that makes my chest tighten with anger, but everyone will suspect why I punch my asshole of a cousin.
“Good luck, Pyke!” He laughs as he walks down the hallway.
The club will not open for the next hour. I decide to come early to check some paper works, but he already ruined my night.
What is he up to? He won’t dare do whatever he’s planning in his playful mind because I don’t give a shit even if he’s my cousin if he ever double-crosses me.
“So, is she the girl? ” Xandry’s devilish smirk spreads across his lips as he gives Camila a scrutinizing looked from head to toe.
“Xandry, don’t,” I warn. My nervousness tickles in my belly.
“You’re gonna lose, man,” Xandry hints.
“Shut up.” I grit my teeth.
“What is he talking about?” Camila butts in. She must have noticed the tensions between Xandry and me.
“It’s nothing, Camila.”
She doesn’t look satisfied with my answer though.
“Why don’t you tell her, Pyke? You two seemed already close” he teases.
“About?” Cam asks.
“It’s nothing. Don’t listen to him. He’s just being an ass.” I hope she drops it because I know for sure she’s not going to like what she’s about to hear if she keeps on prying.
Xandry is going to pay for this. I don’t even notice my knuckles already turn white.
My older brother Parker emerges from the door when it swings open. I’m like his doppelganger. Sometimes people think we are twins.
“‘sup, bro? Why are you here?” My lips spread into a wide smile.
Parker pulls me into a brotherly hug. “Can’t I visit and see my little brother?” He smiles back and sits down the couch, spreading his arms wider over the back pillow.
“I thought you’re busy with your woman.” I sit back on my desk.
Parker is my polar opposite. He’s a relationship type of guy and he’s dating a restaurateur Emily Bates for almost a year. She makes Parker happier than ever. It’s sick to see someone who falls in love and looks at his girlfriend like a priceless artifact.
“About that,” he seems hesitant, but he continues, “I need your help.”
“What kind of help?” I quickly ask.
“Um, Mom and Dad don’t have any idea about this.” He rubs his hands against his jeans then rubs the back of his neck.
Why is he nervous?
“Spill it, bro. What is going on? Is she pregnant?” I ask inquisitively.
He freezes.
“You knocked-up your girlfriend, and now you’ll ask me to come with you and choose the most precious gem on the planet for her engagement ring, right?” I bark out into a laugh.
He silently nods, releasing a sigh.
“I thought you love each other like nothing can separate the both of you. So, what’s wrong?” My smile fades.
“She’s not ready to be a mom,” he pauses, “I told her I will give her everything. I will support our kid, and I even mentioned marriage, but she didn’t like the idea. She said marriage is not the answer to her pregnancy.” He needs advice, I get it, but he comes to the wrong person.
He rubs his hands on his face. “She came from a broken family, you know that, Pyke. I can’t blame her though. We didn’t plan on this, but I swear to Go, I am happy and love the idea of her having my baby in her womb. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to convince her.”
“Give her time, bro. She’s just shocked to find out she’s pregnant. Just stay with her, and all she needs right now is your comfort. Just support her whatever she decides.” I’ve never been in a situation like this, but I can feel the desperation in his voice.
“You surprise me, brother. For someone who had never been in a relationship, you give a good shit of advice,” he chuckles.
“I may be an asshole, but I love women in general.” I laugh. That’s right, I love my mom to death. I love my cousins and my friends. But a relationship is not just my thing.
“Never heard of protections, Parker?” I waggle my brows.
“I suggested to stop using condoms, and she’s already on a pill. She must have missed a day or two when we traveled to Italy,” he explains.
I nod slowly, tapping my finger on my chin. “She feels guilty. Emily thought she did that on purpose-in getting her knocked-up.”
Parker’s head snaps at me. “You think so?”
“You never thought of that, Parker? For a guy like you who had been in many relationships, you suck,” I joke.
He stands up, squeezes me into another hug, and kisses my cheek.
“That’s gross.” I wrinkle my nose, wiping the area where he kissed me.
He just grins. “I don’t know what I’m going to do without you, bro. I dearly love you. I still remember helping mom changing your diaper,” he says in a dreamy tone.
“You’re welcome. And stop it or I will not help you again when your heart is in trouble, big brother.”
He genuinely laughs. “I hope you’ll find your woman soon, Pyke. It feels like heaven when you’re balls deep in her hot pussy.” His mood suddenly lights up.
“I love my cock balls deep in hot pussies with protections, Parker. I don’t want to knock-up someone, then what? I’m going to be a dad. I can’t stomach the thought of impregnating someone.” I wince at the thought of having someone knocked-up with my sperm, but thinking of my dick buried deep in Camila’s pussy makes my body vibrate with excitement.
“What?” Parker asks.
“Nothing.”
“Sure? Did you start dating now? What did I miss, bro?”
“Nothing has changed, Park. I’m still the same. I’m happy with my life. I don’t think I will survive with the same pussy for a week what more for a month or a whole year.” I feel like a complete asshole. I didn’t have sex for ten days now, but I survived and not having trouble with my dick in my pants. It’s weird though.
“I should probably go and check Emily.”
“Isn’t she staying with you?”
“Yup, but she was asking for space, and she’s back in her apartment two days ago.”
“Two days? And you can’t stay away from her?” I laugh.
“You’ve never been in love, asshole. So, don’t laugh at me. When the table turns, I will laugh my ass out at you.” He slaps my shoulder.
“Don’t give your hopes high. That day will never come, bro.”
“It will, brother, and be prepared to be pussy-whipped.” He laughs, walking to the door. As he about to grab the doorknob, he pauses, “When you fall, you’re worse than me. Trust me, Pyke.”
His words echo in my mind while I stand still in my place.
Damn it, Parker!
