{Camila, A Sweet Liar}
Camila’s POV
I left the living room with one thing on my mind, and that’s to sleep. I just want to chat with my friends… I walk past sis Cali’s room, they are definitely having a conversation, my head screams out and it leaves me curious of what relationship my brother has with sis Cali. I decided to go and rest my head on my soft bed a little.
“I will come back to check this up. ” I said to myself and walked to my room. Everyone has their respective rooms, yet the remaining rooms aren’t filled up. I slam my body on the large bed and yawn. My phone chimed and I pulled it out of my back pocket. Message from favorite brother.
“Are you coming home today? ” I read his message and replied..
“No, what is it? ” I asked, thankfully, he’s online.
“Have been calling Nova, but she’s not picking… I guess she’s still angry at me. ” I read in my mind and chuckle.
“She looks fine but might actually be angry with you. When are your friends coming? ” I decided to ask… Because on a norm, he doesn’t message me but he will rather call Andrew or sis Ivy.
“Are you bored? ” I asked and he sent me a sad face emoji.
“I’m watching a movie at home… I’m currently alone. ” He replied. I click on the voice message.
“Did you perhaps know who bro is dating? ” I dropped and he listened to it instantly.
“No. Anything is wrong. ” He asked.
“Of course there is, brother. ” I grin and he also sends a grinning emoji.
“I think my brother is in love with sis Cali but I’m not sure.. They have been inside for the past one hour. ” I pouted and he chuckled.
“Just because they are inside doesn’t mean what you are thinking is what’s going on inside. They might know themselves. Why are you getting yourself worked up? ” He replied and I sighed deeply and logged out.
Landon’s reply wasn’t helping, I’m so curious about what’s happening. After trying to change my mind, I decided to peek at the door and leave. I went to her door, I breathed in and gently placed my ear at the door.
“They are having a conversation, just like what Landon said. ” I bit the bottom of my lips, just when I was about to turn away… Like, I was thinking of turning away from the door.
That’s when the door opened and I found myself falling in front… I wish the door opening is my imagination. Shit! It’s not my imagination, gosh this is embarrassing. I put my lips together but sis Cali breathing rate was faster. I know she’s not expecting me at the door.
“I will lie that I wanted to knock but the door opened when I was about to… ”
“Hmm.. what a stupid sweet lie?? ” I mumbled and looked at sis Cali, shutting her eyes slowly.
“Don’t tell me it’s what I’m thinking? Ahhhh? Why did she pass out?? ” I ask no one in particular, rushing to assist her before she hits her head on the floor.
“Nova! ” I scream her name. God, when was the last time I stressed my lungs?
“What do you want Cami? ” Nova replied, I was forced to roll my eyes.
“Andrew…. Sis Cali passed out. ” I screamed and the bathroom door opened instantly. I hear fast steps at the stairs. I guess they heard my words..
“Have been trying to hold in my laughter.. Because Andrew’s head wasn’t something I can sit on the floor to watch. He was definitely taking his bath but with soap on his head and legs…. Hahahaha, I laugh in my mind—”
“What the hell happened to her? Andrew’s voice pulled me back to reality… I looked at my arms..
“Calii… ” I stuttered, staring at everyone…
“Let’s get her to the bed. ” Sis Jemma suggested and she was carried to her bed.
While sis Jemma was checking on sis Cali, Nova and I exchanged stares.
“You were peeping? ” I read her lips and nodded. She shut her eyes after I nodded. I know she’s angry but I was curious…
“Can someone get me a bowl filled with water and a towel? ” Sis Jemma uttered and her twin rushed to get her. Andrew came out of the bathroom dressed up. He probably rushed his bath.
“Why was Cali on the floor, Camila? ” He asked, looking worried.
“I wanted to knock at the door to get sis Cali laptop,,, I have some files in it, she should have sent them days ago but she couldn’t so I came to knock but then the door opened when I was about to knock.. ” I explained a lie… Devil is always at work. How did I come up with this.. Oh heavens. He nodded.
“She wasn’t expecting anyone at the door, I guess that’s the reason why she passed out. ” He said while sitting on her bed. I glance at Nova and she’s still shocked at the lies I uttered seconds ago… She still has those “I wasn’t expecting that, ” expression on her face.
“I managed to get her back… She was shocked and also, she couldn’t control her breathing rate… She needs to go for a check up. ” Sis Jemma suggested and placed the wet towel on her forehead.
“She told me she has an appointment with her doctor in the afternoon. ” Andrew uttered and arched my brows.
“They must really know themselves.. Why did I stress myself into this shit? ” I mumbled with a view of regret.
“Cami… ” Nova whispered beside me…
“When did she move here. ” I wondered…
“Do you think sis Cali will cover up for you? ” Nova asked and I was left with my thoughts.
“I just hope so… ” I mumbled, staring at her calm face.
“Your brother will be so furious at you when she wakes up and tells him the entire story.. ” Nova uttered and my heart skipped thousands of beats.
