April's POV:
We were peacefully eating, Yuri's hand on mine, my mouth cool due to the ice cream.
It was a rare moment.
I noticed that Jayjay's gaze was on me. Turning to Keifer. Back to me.
Yeah, I was too loud with Ci-N. She got to know it.
I even called that woman, asked her why she came to my house without my consent. And all she did? She acted like she didn't know anything.
I was absentmindedly lost in thought when Jayjay broke the silence.
"You... and Keifer are half-siblings?"
Ah, the thing I was waiting for.
"Yeah.." I answered hesitantly.
What else am I supposed to say? Give the full details? Yeah, I should.
Details to my brother's wife XD
"You know, my mom: the one who you saw at my home, and his dad married when we were 13? And then, we lived together for 2 years. My actual dad ACTUALLY cared for me; he was with me. He got me a condo, a car and essentials. My mom, as I am supposed to call her, only cared about birthing me."
Totoo. Did she care about my life? Nope.
Did she care about my studies? Nope, she pretends to.
Did she care about me? Nope.
What did she give me? Hell.
Jayjay's expression turned sad. Oh shit. Did I make her sad? I knew it, I shouldn't have-
"Hey, Jayjay", I said, "Want half of my ice cream? I'll give you some."
She didn't want it. She said no.
"Oi, give it to me." Ci-N poked my arm.
Nope! He is not sad, and I'm not giving him.
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
Whatever.
"Since when are you all friends?" Jayjay asked.
"Since the start of my existence, I guess."
Truth.
This reveal might be big for Jayjay, but I've started to see him as my brother.
I did have feelings for him.
When I heard that he was my brother, I was heartbroken. I know, I was stupid. My feelings were stupid, but destiny had a better plan.
Yuri confessed, we got together.
But still, I feel... ashamed?
Why did I like two boys at one time? Would my life have become a love triangle if he hadn't just become my half-brother?
I was so deep in thought, and I did not realise I had gone quiet. Yuri nudged my elbow, shooting me a "you okay?" glance.
Yeah, I was okay. But I still felt like I had done something wrong.
I nodded and gave him a quick smile. I needed a breather. Every time I think of this, I just feel terrible. I was a mere kid, and I was stupid.
But, yet?
I got up, called Yuri to come out with me. I excused myself.
I sat in my car, and he followed.
"Why do I still feel bad?" I whispered.
"It was... old times, you were a kid. Didn't even know what the true meaning of love was. It's okay, right? There's nothing wrong with loving someone."
He pulled me closer, and I buried myself in his arms.
"I feel so damn sad."
"Time to let it go."
April, you're so sensitive. Why?
"Let's go out tonight." He whispered into my ear; his voice was the only thing grounding me.
"Where?" I asked, trying to hold my tears so badly.
"Surprise."
"Come ooon," I whined.
"Just us."
Wow. "Sure!"
I was a contradiction. Why am I?
My mood changed in two seconds, as soon as he said he's gonna surprise me. Mf, I knew it was gonna be a good one.
He chuckled, and his voice vibrated. It sent shivers down my spine.
I love him.
I looked at him, "Love you, not just now."
He leaned down. Why i-
