"So does this mean you are okay with your brother and I being... together?" I asked pulling away from the hug. I glanced at Theodore and he gave me a reassuring smile. "It's a little weird but I'll get used to it," Xavier said with a little smile on his face. "Okay," Theodore said pulling me away from his brother, " that's enough touching for today." Xavier glared at him, "Bro she was my bestie before she became your girl." Theodore's face changed from playful to angry in seconds.I stood between them and grabbed the bag of chips sitting on the table. I opened it and started chewing. They both looked down at me with disbelief shining in their eyes. "What?" I asked with my mouth full of chips. "Really?" They both said in unison. I shrugged and kept chewing and they both chuckled. I just didn't want them both to fight again because of me. "We'll be teaching you how to fight because as you probably know your life is in danger and we can't always be there to protect you," Theodore sai
"I'm having a baby at 18," I whispered but Xavier heard it anyway. His face turned blank, "What?" "I know it's early but I did this and I'll be taking full responsibility for it and Andrea too-""I'm going to be a fucking uncle!" Xavier yelled with a huge smile on his face. Theodore smacked his brother's head, "She just said she's pregnant. Don't cuss infront of my child." I laughed seeing them behave like children. "Okay fine," Xavier mumbled and turned to me. He smiled at me before he knelt down on his knees. He leaned close to my stomach and said, "Hey. It's me, Uncle Xavier...but you can call me whatever you want. I can't wait for you to come out. I'll teach you how to fight and cuss your idiot father out." I giggled and Theodore rolled his eyes but he still had a smile on his face. Xavier hugged me, "Congratulations bestie." "Thanks," I mumbled.Xavier turned to his brother and gave him a punch in his chest, "Congragu-fucking-lations brother." Xavier immediately sprinted off wi
The past few weeks went on smoothly. I had classes online and I went to the hospital along with Theodore. The doctor gave us some prescription for vitamins and advised us on what to do during my pregnancy. Theodore had also gotten maids and chefs to help around the house. But there was something wrong. Nothing happened but I just felt it. Theodore started working more and he looked more worried than usual. I tried asking him what was wrong but he told me it was just work. I wanted to believe him but I couldn't. I felt like something bad was about to happen and no matter how hard I ignored it the feeling just came back stronger than before."Are you okay?" Xavier asked. "I don't know," I said putting down the fork. Theodore had left for work early today because he had an important meeting at the office so it was just me and Xavier having breakfast together today. "I just feel like Theodore is hiding something from me," I said. "I think it might just be work stressing him out," he a
I'm a seventeen years old teenager without a mother or even friends. Pathetic right? Highschool may seem like a hell-hole for teenagers but I find it to be my sanctuary. Everyone one in school either bullies me, support the bullies or just look at me in pity. I've been bullied both at school and at home but the bullies in my school are way better than my bully at home because my bully at home is my dad and it hurts more when he abuses me because I thought he loved me and I still think there is a little part of his heart which still loves me. I know surprising right? Well, he wasn't like this until my mother died five years ago. I would have ran away from home but I couldn't because he's the only family I have and I still have some hope that he'll change one day.Right now, I'm at school trying to find my way through the mass of students in the hallway to my locker. "Look who's finally here. We've been waiting for you," Jackson said. He was standing at my locker wi
Oh my God! I have to go to work! I frantically searched the room for my watch which I found sitting on the nightstand. The time read 2:15pm meaning I have 45 minutes to get to work. I took my backpack which I found at the corner of the room and dashed out of the room trying to find the exit.How am I even supposed to find the exit in this huge house- correction, mansion. "What the hell are you doing?" A voice behind me said. I turned around to meet the face of the man I met this morning. I think his name was Theo or something.His hair was wet and he only had a towel wrapped lose on his lower area. He looked very hot and angry. And oh he had some nice abs too. Wait is that some eight packs I see? Holy cow! He has eight packs and some ripped muscles too. As much as I wanted to look away, the drops of water on his chest trailing down to his v-line was calling on to me. Literally.The sound of him clearing his throat brought me back to reality.
What was bugging me was why my dad would be owing Theodore money. "L-look, please just give me some time to find the money," he said fearfully. I'm sure he had sobered up a bit. "No!" Theodore yelled angrily. "I had given you 6 months to get my money back but you rather spent it on alcohol," he continued. My dad had been owing him for that long? But how? Why? He gestured one of his men for something. The man gave Theodore a gun making my eyes widen in shock and fear of losing the only family I had. "Say goodbye Jones," he said pointing the gun at my dad.I rushed out of my hiding spot ignoring the pain spreading through my body in hopes of saving him but I was too late. Theodore had already pulled the trigger, shooting my dad square in his chest. I halted in my steps clinging to the nearby table for support as tears strolled down my face. I know that he was not the best father but at least I considered him family. He was the only family I knew. I ha
I felt bad for shouting at him so I apologized. I sighed fidgeting with my fingers and said, "I'm sorry too. I am mad at your brother and I took out on you." I hesitantly went up to him and gave him a short hug. "It's fine. I know how annoying he can be and now that you are here we can both annoy the hell out of him," Theodore's brother said winking at me and we both laughed. "Ahem ahem! I'm still here," Theodore said sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes at him and his brother pulled out his tongue at him. "Great! Now I have two people to annoy the shit out of me," he mumbled leaving the room. "I'm Xavier by the way," he said introducing himself. "I'm Andrea," I said.Surprisingly after that day Xavier became my best friend and I hung out with him a lot. I did school online and as for Theodore, he was our legal guardian but we didn't get to see him always because of his work. I still hate him though. I wasn't about to let the fact that he had killed my d
"How would you feel if you found your brother kissing your best friend?" He asked. "Xavier calm down," I said trying to hold his arm but he flinched away from me and I'd be lying if I say that didn't hurt. "Dude it wasn't her fault. Don't treat her like that," Theodore said noticing what Xavier did. "Then tell me why the fuck you kissed her," Xavier demanded. "I...I..." Theodore trailed off staring at me. "It was just an in the moment kind of thing," Theodore said scratching his neck and breaking eye contact with me.I felt hurt by what he said but I let it go. It's not like I ever even loved him. "I...-just don't let it happen again," Xavier said to his brother before pulling me into a hug. I sighed in relief. "She's innocent and I'd like for it to stay that way," Xavier mumbled and I smacked his head in annoyance. "I'm not," I said pouting at him and he chuckled. "Yeah...and pigs fly," he said sarcastically. "I'm sorry," Theodore said to me. I frowned
