Macy POV
These past two days with Liam were wonderful, I used to imagine myself being the only one lusting over him and wanting him, but I guess it’s mutual. I bit my lip as I reminisce about the steamy moment we had in his kitchen, the way he kissed me and handled me just like a real man.
Yes, Derick is good too, but Liam he is so different and better, we didn’t do much, but I felt satisfied, my body wanting more of his touches. Everything about him is just so perfect, I whisper to myself, smiling. I went straight to my room.
As I entered my condo, it looked like someone had been there, the bed was made, and I knew it wasn’t me. Derick! He must have come over, why didn’t I think about him, he must have been worried about me. Liam had advised me to switch off my phone, which I did, I’ll have to call Derick later, at least I owe him an explanation for my behavior and my disappearance. I think I should invite him over for dinner, I could prepare his favorite dishes and then bake him a cake to apologize.
Derick has been nothing but kind to me, he loves me and cares for me, he doesn’t deserve to be treated like this or be lied to. I am deciding to tell Derick the truth, everything I would rather not lie to him, I can’t actually want two brothers at the same time, I have to tell Derick before he finds out and hates me. I say out loud to one in particular. Yes, that’s the best thing to do, I’ll tell him at dinner tonight, I mutter.
I immediately went to the kitchen to start my preparations for tonight’s dinner, when I noticed someone seated on the couch in the dark with the lights off, I instantly knew who he was I have known this person for a long time there is no way I’ll miss him even in the dark.
How come I didn’t hear him come in, what is he doing here seated alone without calling out for me or coming inside my room? I hope he didn’t see Liam drop me off,
Derick. I called out to him, feeling startled at his action.
“Hi baby, I missed you.”
He spoke in a calm tone, which scared me
“Hi Derick…I um…I didn’t hear you come in, when did you come?” I stuttered
“Me? I have been here since last night. Now the question is: Where were you, Macy? Do you know how much you scared me, I have looked for you like a madman all over the city, What the hell happened?”
I stared at him properly as he came closer and into the kitchen light, he looked pissed, he looked sleep-deprived like he hadn’t slept for days, maybe he didn’t even eat too he was stressed. I sighed, looking away, it’s my fault he is this way, if only I controlled my feelings, we wouldn’t be here right now.
“I need answers, Macy, please tell me what’s going on.” he pleaded, I have never seen him this way.
“Derick, I’m sorry I made you worry, I simply required some time for myself. I…I just wanted to be alone.”
I lied, telling Derick the truth now in this state would only cause more problems, so I decided to save it for another time.
“You’re here now so tell me what is going on, why did you leave without telling me or at least you should have dropped a message, I think I deserve to know what is going on Macy.”
I can’t tell you, I can’t, I wish I could, Derick I’m sorry, I say in my head as I turn my back on him not able to face him.
“Macy answer me, please don’t keep me mute, are you okay? Did someone threaten you?”
“Nobody threatened me, Derick, I am fine. It’s just that I miss my parents, I…I remembered them, it got to me, so I decided to go away for a day, it’s nothing much so, please relax.”
I hope my lie calms him down, he wants answers, and I can’t give him that right now. It’s for the best, at least until I’m able to understand what’s going on.
“You missed your parents, so you went to your hometown?”
“Yes, Derick I visited their graves, I am sorry I couldn’t tell you I would rather not bother you with my problems, you have done so much for me already, I only wanted to face my problems alone, so just let it slide, please you can stop worrying now.”
Derick didn’t look convinced by my words, but I had to make him believe my story it is the only way to stop more problems from happening.
“It’s alright if you say then I believe you, Macy don’t do that again at least drop a message for me, so I don’t worry too much.”
“I’m so sorry Derick I promise it won’t happen again, I hope you can just let it slide.”
I turn to face him trying to make him believe me, but his eyes gave away something I couldn’t understand like he wasn’t satisfied with my answer.
“You must be hungry. I’m going to prepare dinner for us then I’ll bake you my favorite cake. You’ll like that, right?”
“Yes Macy I’d like that, and I haven’t had anything to eat since breakfast, so I’m starving.” he says.
I quickly started making dinner. Everything I needed was already available, so there was no need to go to the grocery store for anything, Derick insisted on watching me cook, which made me very uncomfortable, his eyes watched my every move and action. It was like he expected me to say something like he wasn’t satisfied with our conversation earlier.
Furthermore, I finished cooking, and we had dinner in silence, After eating, I decided to go finish some work I had pending, and I left for my room. I reached my room only to see Derick behind me, how did he move that fast, unexpectedly he grabbed me and slammed me against the wall, before I could register a thing he kissed me hard.
I closed my eyes as he forced open my lips with his tongue kissing me hard, It felt wrong, I felt bad for allowing him to kiss me so without thinking I pushed him away. He looked shocked at my actions,
“Macy? You just pushed me away.”
I could see the hurt in his eyes,
“Derick you surprised me I didn’t expect that.”
I said, trying to cover up. He looks at me for a bit before coming closer
“Baby I have missed you, I only want to spend some quality time together uhh.”
He says in a calm voice, I felt bad for treating him this way. I wish things could go back to being normal I would rather not hurt anyone, especially not Derick.
“Maybe some other time Derick, I’m not in the mood for anything today.”
I tell him because my body, soul, and heart calls for someone else and that is not him but his brother Liam.
“You haven’t called me babe for a while, you are starting to keep secrets and won’t let me touch you too, something is up. Is there someone else?”
“What are you saying, Derick?”,
“Tell me the truth, why did my brother drop you off today?”
