Chapter 158: Chapter 158

Vicky's heart was panting, for she knows she is going to end up saying No to him, she is scared of hurting him, she is incapable of loving anyone. While at the village, she had a lot of them coming to her, and though Dylan wanted her to move on, she refused, while scared that her choices might affect him too, because he didn't seem interested in women too, but she is happy, when Juliet came around, and everything about him changes.

It is easy for him to change and want to move on with his life, he isn't the one that was abused by someone he calls father at a very tender age in his life, she is the one that had to hide, under the pretense of wanting to read books all the time, just to be away from being abused.

She channelled her hurt to her books, for she believes she would make it in life, and never go back to the orphanage again. She found happiness in her mother and brother, but her father was her nightmare.

She constantly have to pretend to be suck, just to be free from his abuse for some days, and whenever he was going for business trips, she feels too alive, and very happy. She was looking out of the window, while he drives, that she didn't notice he had made his last turn to a close.

"We are here". She heard his happy tone.

She looks around, and found the place, quite nice, the entire place was just very simple, and nice.

"You stay here all alone? she asked and he nodded his head, as to say yes, then he added.

"Though I cannot really claim this place is mine, because my naughty brother, will always stress the hell out of my life, he would always come around and mess up everywhere. He says, I am always keeping the place too clean, that I should always mess it up every once in a while, so people know I need a woman in my life.

(They both laugh at that) He says that if people see that I am very organized, they would think I don't need a woman.

He has a spare key to this house, and somehow, I wish I never gave him a spare". He says and she chukkled. He came close to her, and held her by the hand.

I love it when you smile, you look more attractive". He says, and she felt something hit her heart, but it was beautiful, to feel something. Maybe a trial, wouldn't be so hard.

He held her hand, leading her inside, she was admiring every interior decoration, that she didn't realize he had opened the door to his room and she was shocked that he has every picture they had taken all those years back at school.

"Wow! You kept them all? She asked and he nodded.

"After I heard you guys were all dead, I wanted to investigate everything, so I went to the scene of the crash, and found some of your things, that didn't blow up with the car, I guess the wave of the car exploding, sent some of your things to the river side, and they were safe, I found these photos, and these".

He showed her some of her clothes that he had been able to save, she remembers them, even as they look little in his hand.

"Oh my goodness! Brainy, I never thought I would see any of these". She exclaims, going close to it, as she sees an action figure, he was the one that gave it to her, the action figure had a gun and a knife, he used to tell her then, that the figure will fight all her troubles, somehow, she had believed him and held it close to her heart, but when the crash happened, she felt a new sense of responsibility to keep her brother safe, which was why, she never looked back at any things, they were going away to a place they do not know, there was no room for carrying things.

She searched through her things in a bag, and she broke down in tears.

She found her mother's favorite scarf, and she quickly tied it around her neck, then she turned to face him, she had no words to explain how she feels, she was just staring.

"Why did you keep all of these, when everyone believed we were dead, and even buried our things? She asked, taking two steps towards him, he only has to take two more steps to close the gap between them, but he didn't he allowed the gap.

"I never believed you are dead. you are a fighter, and you have always won, I knew you have survived somehow, and after school, I left the city with my family, but I kept coming back every time it was close to your birthday, hoping that someday, I would see you". She couldn't hide her tears this time, she allowed her tears flow profusely.

She heaved a loud sigh, and that was when he took the two step, covering the gap, leaving no more gap between them. She looked up at him, and their lips were only an inch away from each other.

"But why do all this?

She asked again, and just like before, he asked her.

"Isn't it obvious Vicky? I love you, I always have, you were so intelligent back at school and I always look up at you as someone I should be friends with, and gladly, you thought me to be a friend too and.... now, I want you in my life, I lost you once, I don't ever want to loose you again". She allowed her tears, and he wiped it off.

"But Brainy, you are way out of my league, you deserves someone who will love you, some.one who isn't a drop out, someone who matches your level, and treat you like you deserve, not me, I am never going to be capable of loving anyone....

"No, no, no don't stay that, I see love in your eyes, you are what we call epitome of love.

You loved your family so much, you took care of your brother, you survived for him, and yet you think you are not capable? You are very much capable, and I am willing to stand by you and show you, just how capable you are".

He says and then, just like electric, he kissed her, and she kissed him back, it was unbelievable, she seem to love every part of him back, and she was willing to love him even more.

They kissed, till they found themselves on the bed, and they didn't stop kissing, caressing and touching every part of each other's body.

Brainy was on the bed, while Vicky, was moved up to lay on him, while they kiss, and just then, Browny walked in on them, but unlike him, he didn't distract them, he just walked away calmly, he was happy for his brother.

He suddenly seem alive, and that is all he prays for, seeing his twin brother, happy and alive again.

Brainy allowed his hand slipped through her skirt, and when she felt his bare hand on her skin, she stopped him, and he quickly stopped, he kissed her forehead, and allowed her move away from him.

"I think I better start going home, my brother will be worried". She says.

"Yeah sure. Can I drop you? He asked and she shook her head in the negative.

"I will call a taxi, don't worry". She says, and he walked her out, luckily, one was already outside, so she got into it, and left, he was still looking at the moving car, when Browny jumped on him from behind.

"You did it". He knew it was his brother, he had seen him walk in on them that time, and he prayed he doesn't distract them, luckily, his prayers were answered.

"I am still scared she is not going to want me". He says with fear, and still looking at the direction the taxi took.

"I saw the both of you in the room, and you think she doesn't want you? she is just being a typical lady, she will definitely, want you". He tells him. Cheer up brother! He hit his shoulder and went inside.

This is one of those days that his brother just knows he isn't supposed to joke, he can be serious sometimes.
