Wound
"Akh!"
Axe winced as my meager pinch landed on his stomach. He's not usually like that. I knew Axe wasn't joking, because the look on his face said it was serious. He's also the kind of person who can withstand physical pain. What was going on? If it was just a pinch from me, there was no way Axe would react like that.No!I think I'm missing a lot here. Something's wrong, there must be an unusual wound hiding under his plain black t-shirt."What are you doing?" he asked warily as he saw my hand move to touch the hem of his shirt."I-" I stopped the sentence floating in my throat for a moment. I looked deeply into his eyes until I realized something. I had to take things slowly, including finding out what was making him grimace like that."I want you."My hand moved to touch his firm jaw. I stroked it lightly and then pulled him closer. I pressed Axe's lips deep, leaving a big question mark inside his head."Reply to me."I could tell he was confRelated chapters
Brother Luck(not) Meet Him
My eyes stare straight at the broad back of the man standing at the cash register, paying for my meager purchases. My breathing is ragged, after Axe told me the story last night. I didn't ask any more questions about the work accident he mentioned. Let's just say I accepted his excuses, even though I had my doubts about the truth. But I didn't want to prolong it all just because of my curiosity. Never mind. After all, honesty wouldn't hide for too long if what Axe said was a lie."Are you done?" I asked as Axe approached me, carrying the groceries in both hands."Yes. Let's go home."By 'home' Axe meant the hotel we were currently staying in while in Canada. Don't feel surprised, it's his habit to call any form of residence home."What are you buying this many boys' toys for, Bridgette?" asked Axe as he lifted my purchases up.I almost forgot to mention that my friend Rose and my favorite little boy live in Canada. What a coincidence that Axe brought me here. I get to meet them after
Brother Luck(not) The Truth
"Oh. Oh, my goodness. So that guy is your brother, Bridgette?"I winced at Rose's incredulous tone. She seemed shocked by the fact. The fact that the man I was with and so attached to the Oracle was the man who had impregnated me five years ago-my own brother.Of course Rose knew who Axe was and what our relationship status was. She was the only person I told when there was no one I could trust in this world. Don't ask me what Rose's reaction was when I told her about my life problems. She was so sick at the thought of a man like Axe actually existing and indirectly coming into her life."Why are you with him, Bridgette?" she asked with a half-sigh."It's a long story." I sighed for a moment. Maybe this was my destiny, what could I do?"Don't you want to leave him?" whispered Rose cautiously. Her eyes moved quickly through every visitor here, afraid that Axe would suddenly be here."I've tried. But he found me again." "Don't you want to try again, Bridge
Brother Luck(not) They are Twins
"But it looks like master is sleeping, Miss," he continued successfully bringing my footsteps to a halt."Is Axe sleeping with Oracle?""Yes, miss," he replied, causing Rose and I to glance at each other."Just open the door, Bridgette," Rose said impatiently.I took a deep breath, determined to open the car door. I wonder what their poses will look like when they're sleeping together? Would they look the same when their eyes were open, or would it be the other way around?Imagining that, a strange feeling suddenly invaded my chest. I don't know. Should I be sad or happy to realize that Axe and Oracle got along so easily. But I can't lie that at the bottom of my heart, there's a hope that's soaring high into the sky. I want to someday be able to be honest with Oracle about who I really am. All this time all he knew was his mother Rose, not me. I pity him too, since he never felt the presence of a father. Even he was very confused when Axe asked him who his f
Brother Luck(not) Dinner
"Let me carry him." Axe forcefully pulled Oracle's body from my arms, leaving an empty feeling when Oracle's small body was transferred to his father's hands.I was going to protest, but since we were walking in the hotel lobby. I decided against it and let Axe go ahead of me. Axe's sturdy back seemed to be getting farther away as his wide strides never paused.Axe seemed to be hunting for time. Where is he going after this? My mind kept asking questions.I quickly caught up with his footsteps which now seemed to be entering the hotel room. Every movement Axe made seemed strange to me, or was it just me? I quickly shook my head and pushed the door that was almost closed.I breathe a sigh of relief to see that Axe has already moved Oracle's small body onto the bed, his sleep still as deep as it was in the car. Not at all disturbed from one move to another. "What's wrong, Axe? Why did you leave me?" I asked as I closed the door softly.I stepped towards him wh
Brother Luck(not) Break Up
"So what should I call you?" asked Oracle innocently as we walked side by side to our hotel room."You can call me daddy.""Daddy?" Oracle asked again as if to confirm the truth of Axe's words."Yes," Axe replied quickly. He was still faithfully holding Oracle's small hand as he led his through the steps."Aunty. May I?" This time Oracle turned to me. His hopeful gaze broke my heart. Why did it hurt so much to see Oracle wishing that he could call Axe daddy. I really do. He made me feel like a bad person for separating him from his own biological father."Aunty, why you be quite? Can I call handsome uncle just like 'daddy'?"I smiled a little and nodded in response. I had nothing to say but to say yes. I quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall. For a moment I saw Axe staring at me intently. Unlike at the restaurant earlier, this time Axe gave me an unflattering and questioning look. I think Axe was watching my every move, so suspicion was lodged
Brother Luck(not) Untold Desire
Who is he?My eyes continued to watch the unexplored steps. It was getting closer and closer. I'm sure my breath started to catch. I couldn't see the man's face at all, making me regret turning off all the lights in this room. I tried to digest the situation here. Slowly but surely, my hand moves to grab my cell phone and blame it on the flashlight. I quickly shone the light from my cell phone towards the man. To no one's surprise, he immediately raises his hand to cover his face, disturbed by the glare of the light."Turn it off!" he exclaimed unhappily as the lights came on in this room, he was the one who pressed the light switch.Axe!My eyes immediately rounded to see the face I had been worried about. "Where have you been, Axe?" I asked, not caring about his glare. There was a little relief in my heart at his condition. I was glad that Axe was okay."None of your business!" he snapped as he strode towards the bathroom."Your health condition is my
Brother Luck(not) Behind the Mask
I was a little flabbergasted to see him holding a medium-sized kitchen knife. Don't tell me Axe is going to prove what he said in the bathroom. I really couldn't believe it."Don't do this!" My steps definitely took a step back as I realized the distance between us was getting thinner."Go away!" I screeched almost like a madman. My chest rose and fell feeling tight at the unforgiving glint in his eyes. Is it true that the one in front of me right now is Axe? I shook my head in answer to myself. Of course, there was only one human like him on this earth.Degh!The sound of a stifled voice made my heart instantly hammer. Woefully, there was no more room for me to move. I was locked in with my body restrained by the pantry. "Stop right there!" I exclaimed, trying to grab whatever was still left there, perhaps the chefs had left some leftover ingredients that I could use to throw at Axe's face."Stop, Axe!" I couldn't stop crying when I turned around and found nothi
Brother Luck(not) Leave to be Alone
"Aunty."A small call followed by a gentle peck on the cheek vaguely made me open my eyes. I smiled to find Oracle sitting sweetly in front of me."Good morning, Aunty," he greeted successfully, causing a warm feeling in my chest. It felt good to wake up next to Oracle like this."Good morning, Oracle," I replied, pinching his cheek lightly."Where's Daddy, aunty? I don't see him."My heart was suddenly blurry at the sound of that name, the name that had kept me awake most of the night. My breath hitched roughly and I looked deeply into Oracle's innocent face."Daddy sleeps with Om Edward in the other room," I replied simply. I didn't even know where Axe was right now. My gut feeling told me he was in the other room though it was unlikely."Daddy's busy, huh, Aunty?""Yes, dear. While waiting for daddy, we should get ready to meet mommy. Oracle already misses mommy Rose, don't you?" I deliberately changed the subject. I didn't want to feel like discus
