CHAPTER SIXTEEN
“Diana?” I didn’t answer Wallace. I just kept sniffing and crying while treating his wound. “Diana.”
“Where else does it hurt?” I ask. I’m not used to seeing him like this. In the few months, we have been together I have not seen him physically hurt. But now, apart from the cracked eyebrow and his lower lip, he still has a lot of bruises on his body.
Seeing him hurting like this is triple pain I received. Especially I know that the reason why it happened to him is because of me and I can do nothing but just cry and cry.
“Stop crying. I’m ok.” When he said that, I started to cry more. I let go of the cotton I was holding as I bent down and just cried and cried. I can afford to see him hurting like this. I love him and I prefer that I am the one that hurt and not him.
“I’m sorry, Wallace. I didn’t mean it to happen.” He pulled me closer to him then hugged me. My face sank into his chest and I kept crying.
“Don’t say sorry because it’s not your fault.”
“I’m sorry because I can’t let you go. I know Dylan will get even angrier but I really can’t let you go. I can’t.” Then I looked up at him. “Not unless you want me to stay away from you.”
I know this is wrong. I’m pushing myself into him. I am putting myself down as a woman. So I can’t blame Dylan if he reacts like that. Because what I did is too shameful to our family.
“No, I want to stay with you, Diana.” He stroked my face and kissed me on the forehead. Down to the nose, to the lips. “Stay with me either.”
“I will, Wallace, as long as you want me to stay with you. I will be here for you.”
“Stop crying. I hate it when I see you cry. ” He wiped my tears using his palm and smiled at me. “You’re the second beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, Diana.”
“Second?” I furrowed my forehead.
“Yes, my mom’s was the first one.” Ok, I feel my heart beating in excitement.
He kisses me again. His kiss became wild and I kissed him back when he suddenly stopped and grinned.
“Are you ok?” I asked a worried question when I saw him held by his side.
“Yeah,”
“Are you sure? I’ll bring you to the hospital.”
“I’m ok. You, I saw you got hurt when Dylan pushed you. Are you ok? Are you hurt?” I shook my head and then buried my face in his chest again. I feel relieved when I smell his scent.
“Can you stay here tonight? Please.” I know I am not a girlfriend and I have no right to be clingy to him. But, I want him to be with me right now.
“You want me to stay?” he asked.
“If it’s okay.”
“Of course, but I can’t promise you that nothing will happen, Diana.” I looked up because of what he said.
“In that situation, can you still move?” But I was shocked when he suddenly approached me.
“Wanna try, Diana?”
“H-hey, I’m just kidding and I have a period, don’t I?”
“Don’t dare to tease me when it comes to you, Diana. There’s nothing I can’t do just to enter your hole even after that I fell in a hospital or a cemetery.”
“Crazy.” I laughed saying. But he moved even harder and I felt the swelling in the middle of his thigh so I swallowed. “H-hey.” What’s wrong with me? It’s like I’m a first-timer teenager who felt like this.
“I’m hard, Diana.” What the heck. What’s wrong with his stare I can’t refuse. I am always losing myself every time he is near. I’ve never been intimidated by anyone’s glare but with Wallace—– Oh, come on! “I will bet, you’re wet as well.”
“No,” I refused.
“Really?” Then he spread my legs and touch me down. “Let’s see.”
“Wallace I’m on my period.”
“It’s ok.”
Honestly, I really hate my own period but why is that — I really like what Wallace is doing to me. And the next thing that happens — is he thrust his fingers inside my wet fold.
“You’re so wet.”
“T-that’s my period.”
“Cum with me, Diana.”
“Oh!” And the next thing that happens. He claimed me and we both sleep on the sofa after.
I leaned back in the swivel chair while holding on to the bridge of my nose. I used to do this when I am thinking deeply. I am not the only one in the family do this, from dad to Daze are doing this except for Dylan. Because Dylan was playing with his forehead with two fingers. He rotates the center of his forehead and then slides to both ends. Over and over again. When he does that you know he is thinking deeply.
“Hey, deep thinking ah?” I smile when Zeus enters my office.
“Hmph, about the projects.”
“You know you can’t lie to me, Dane. You can tell that to them but not me. What’s wrong? Tell me.” I sighed before answering.
“Me and Wallace —” I saw his forehead frowned.
“You and Wallace, what?”
“We’re-”
“Oh come on, Dane, don’t be in suspense.”
“We’re fuck buddies.”
“Fuck you,”
“Hey!”
“I’m sorry. Just carried away. But wait, are you serious?”
“Oh Come on, Zeus. Remember when we were dating? I used to mention Wallace to you. So you know how I really love him.”
“And you agreed to be his fuck buddy?”
“I’m the one who offers him.”
“Holy shit, Dane. Seriously?”
“Yes, nothing wrong with it, I think.” No one spoke to the two of us. It feels like we both feel the same.
“Are you happy?” Later he asked. “Are you happy with him?”
“I am, too, Zeus. For the first time, I can say I am truly happy.”
“Wait, that means you’re not happy with us.”
“Oh come on, that’s another thing. Brother’s Code friendship is different and my friendship with you is genuine and there was no one like it. What I mean— me, a woman — you know — bed.”
“At least it’s clear. But if you are truly happy with him. I will support you, Dane. And I know the boys too.”
“Thanks.”
“Anyway, I need to go and my family is already waiting.”
“Take care.” When Zeus left, I also arranged my belongings to go home. But as I approached I saw Dylan standing in the doorway.
“Dylan?”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Let’s talk.” I have no choice but to seatback.
“What are we talking about?”
“Don’t pretend that you don’t know. You know what it is.”
“Dylan —”
“Dane, I’m not interfering with your happiness. It is just that you chose the wring guy. Wallace is not capable to love then. You are my sister and I don’t want you to get hurt. I am trying to avoid you in pain. Wallace will only hurt you. Not because of the woman but because of her ego.”
“What do you mean?”
“If only a woman, I know he can avoid it. But when his pride and ego are trampled on, that’s what he can’t face.”
“I don’t get it.”
“You’re a Dy, Dane. Whether you like it or not, you can connect and connect with Wallace. Do you think Wallace can handle hearing that he’s just using you?”
“Wallace isn’t like Dylan.”
“How many times does he have to fight, Dane. But he didn’t continue just because he heard that the fight would be cooked because I am his partner. So he chose to be my coach and assistant. Wallace is also good at design and has graduated as an engineering architect like me and daddy hires him but he didn’t join our company just because he heard that his two proposals passed to dad because of me. Wallace loses his self-confidence when our name is attached to his achievement.”
I don’t know what to say. I like to think Dylan lied to me because he didn’t like Wallace.
“But if you really like him. Stand up until you are hurt. And when you’re hurt, claim it.”
“I don’t know what to say, Dylan.”
“I became your friends’ cupid because I didn’t care if they were hurt by their stupidity. But I have no intention of being your cupid because when you get hurt, I will spread Wallace’s brain right in front of you so that you will come to your senses.”
Then he stood up and adjusted his clothes.
“Wallace is my friend and we have a deeper bond than our siblings. But you are my sister and even though our bonding is not as strong as ours, I am not blind to not see the sacrifice you have done to us. So I will still stand with you, Dane.”
“Dylan.”
“Remember this, Dane. You are still my sister. Whatever the decision you have, I will support you. But don’t cry because of your stupidity that you wanted to. I’ll repeat it to you, you don’t know Wallace. All you know about him is how he is when he is in lust, how he makes you moan, and make you release but you don’t know him when it comes to his pride.” And he left me dumbfounded.
