EVAN SEVILLE
After comforting her and taking a bath, we laid in bed with her figure on top of mine, craddled like a child while my hand ran through her hair, as I comforted her.
We were in silence.
She sniffled, burying her face deeper in my chest. I let out a soft sigh, kissing her head, "how are you feeling?" I muttered against her head. She looked up at me with those brown eyes, puffed and reddish.
"I'm fine.." She rasped, "just.. felt like I couldn't provide you what you really wanted since I'm—"
"Amelia, it's okay. If you don't want to, we can adopt. If you're not ready, I can wait. I can manage.. You don't need to put pressure on yourself.." I cut her off softly, my hand went down to her cheek, my thumb brushing softly againts it.
I looked down at her lovingly, smiling softly before pressing a kiss on her forehead. I loved her, I could wait. If she wanted to adopt, then I don't mind adopting because I'll love the kid like my own.
If she preferred pets, I don't mind either.
She only hummed in response. She didn't say anything after, she just fell asleep while I watched her.
When the next morning came, my phone rang, I turned my back, reaching for my phone with Amelia sleeping above my arm, using it as her pillow. When I felt my phone with my hand, I picked it up and answered the call without looking at the caller ID.
"This is Evan speaking, may I know who am I speaking with?" My voice rasped, blinking to adjust my eyes to the light that the sun was beaming inside our room from the balcony.
"Hey, brother. It's Zack, how are ya?"
Ugh.
My elder brother, Zack Don Seville. I sat up as I carefully removed my arm under Amelia's head. She stirred and turned, but not waking up, which was good. I could feel my arm cramping, the one she used as a pillow.
"All is well, what do you want, jackass?" I raffled my bed hair with my hand.
"Help me out with something. Can I borrow your wife?—"
"For what?"
My tone suddenly changed, protective instincts rising in— I mean, how could he ask that? That really pissed me off. "Can you just chill, lil' bro? I just need her to do me a new logo." Zack chuckled on the other line.
I growled, "I really don't trust you with her. Especially not after what you did to her in the past," He went silent. Because it was true. What he did to Amelia in the past was unforgivable. I remember her cries back then because of him..
"Please.. Zack, stop it.."
I heard Amelia crying in my room, after taking a shower and finally getting out of my school uniform— I didn't hesitate to barged in my room.
My eyes widened, rage rose within me when I saw Zack on top of her, had her hands pinned above her hand, him sitting on top of her stomach, his other hand covering her mouth as she muffled a cry.
Her eyes met mine, begging with tears, as fear written all over her face.
Without thinking, I charged, tackling him down to the ground. We fell off the bed, my hands throwing fists at his stupid face.
"Look, I know what I did back then, yeah? I'm not stupid and I won't do it again. I learned my lesson not to mes with you." I could imagine Zack's jaw already clenched.
"Oh, yeah? I don't even care, I don't trust you one bit—"
"Evan?.." I stopped midsentence when I heard her morning voice. I looked down at her, seeing her body turning to face me with her eyes half-lidded. I smiled softly, and ended the call wihout giving Zack a warning.
I tossed my phone on the night stand, "yes, darlin'?" I wrapped my arm around her back, kissing her forehead while she leaned on me as we lay there in our bed, her eyes closing again.
"Good morning by the way.."
She hummed in response, "yeah.. And is Zack on the phone a moment ago? I heard you guys talking.. You seemed pissed.." Her voice was rasped and quiet, she cuddles closed.
"Yeah, about that.. He wanted you to do a new logo design for him.." I grumbled, huffing a little, making her chuckle softly.
"How much was the offer?" She asked softly, looking up at me this time with her eyes fully open. I raised a brow, "no. Even if there was an offer, I won't let you get close to hi—"
"Evan, I want to do it. I need to make my own money, plus, I really wanted to help out in providing.." she looked at me with those eyes that she knew if she used those against me, I'll break.
I closed my eyes, sucking a deep breath and letting out. God, only if she knew how pretty she looked when she looked at me with those eyes. She's literally my whole world. I then remember what happened to us, regarding with pregnancy.
This is hard..
"Fine.." I finally muttered, and God, that fucking smile on her face that spread wide, made my heart skip a beat.
I'm obsessed.
After that, we ate our breakfast, took our shower, and I dropped her off to my brother. I stood behind her small figure while Zack opened the door as we knocked.
He smiled.
I glared.
He ignored, and looked down at Amelia.
I couldn't handle the way he looked at her, pulling Amelia by her wrist and put her behind me. I stood tall in front my eldest brother, Zack, "remember what we talked about, other wise I'll cut your dick off."
I stated firmly. He raised his hands in surrender, "I'll keep my words, man. Chill." I huffed before turning around to face Amelia. I cupped her face and kissed her forehead, "call me if anything happens, yeah?"
She raised a brow in confusion, "you're.. not staying?.."
