Chapter 111: Chapter 111
Ethan's POV
I feel a pair of warm hands wrap around my waist and as I carefully flip the pancakes. Soon a soft chin is placed on my shoulder.
" Yummy... ", Michael huskily whispers in my ear, inhaling the smell of pancakes deep into his nostrils. I can't help but smile wide. Have I told earlier, even the way he breathe is so cute ?
" So you know to cook p..pancakes and all ?", he asks.
" Yeah..I can cook anything, baby.", I reply proudly.
He giggles a little. " Really ?"
" Yeah..what did you think about me ?", I ask chuckling.
" Okay, I can also cook. I can b..bake cake. Can you ?", he asks.
" I too can. It's easy.", I chuckle tilting my head and kissing the side of his forehead.
" Oh..you can ??", he mumbles, kinda disappointed. "Uhm..why didn't you wake me up ? We could have together prepared breakfast. " He sighs and closes his eyes, hugging me more tightly, squirming his head on my shoulder for a more comfortable position.
" You were sleeping so peacefully. I couldn't make my mind to wake you up. And look you are still sleepy. Why couldn't you stay on bed for some more time ?", I ask.
" No..I'm not sleepy. G..give me. I'll do the rest.", he says pealing his hands away from my waist.
"No baby, It's almost ready. You do one thing. Get the milk from fridge. ", I say.
" Okay..", he hums and walks towards the fridge. I put the flame on low and goes to get a vessel to boil the milk.
" Did Eve wake up ?", I ask as he carefully pour the milk into the vessel.
" Yeah..she was in the bathroom when I went to her r..room. She said she is bathing. Why she wake up so e..early and bath ??", he asks.
" She's always like that. She bath every morning before brushing.", I reply.
" Even on weekends?", he asks placing the milk on stove, an amused an expression on his face. I nod to him, smiling. " She is a very disciplined kid.", he presses his lips together in appreciation.
" Not really. Sometimes she is very hard to handle.", I chuckle taking a dish to serve the pancake.
" Who is hard to handle ?"
I turn around to see none else than my little sister, standing at the doors with her small arms crossed over her chest, her eyebrows scrunched.
" Hey.." Michael turns around smiling at her. " Woah..! You are already ready ?", he asks looking at her tiny form. Her hair is slightly wet and she has changed into fresh T-shirt and trousers.
" Is he talking about me on my back ?", she asks him, raising an eyebrow.
" Yeah..exactly.", he laughs.
" You know, he is the one who is hard to handle. Mommy and I are...tired of him.", she says stepping in, causing Michael to giggle whilst barging towards her.
" Woah..! You are tired of me ?? ", I make my mouth an 'O' and dramatically widen my eyes as Michael picks her up from the floor. She sighs and shakes her head as if done with my drama. My boyfriend can't help but laugh hard at that.
"Okay, I'll then go back to school today itself.", I say crossing my hands.
Her eyes suddenly widen. " Oh..no ! Don't go ! ", she squeals.
" Why ? You are tired of me, right ? So I'll go as soon as Mom comes back. Also I won't come on weekends again."
" Eddy...I- I didn't mean that. I really didn't. You are a g..great brother. Don't go please..", her mouth forms a pout.
"Hey...he won't. He is just kidding.", Michael says and pinches her cheeks, gently. But she keeps on looking at me with sorry puppy eyes.
" I won't Evy. I was kidding." I smile and turn around quickly flipping the pancakes into the plate.
Michael then places her on the counter. "Woah..you dried your h..hair very well.", he says touching her hair, earning a smile from her. I agree he need to study such things from my sister. He can't still dry his hair properly.
" What's for breakfast?", she asks him, smiling.
"Yummy Pancakes.", he squeals and she laughs.
" And who made the yummy pancakes ?", I ask whilst turning off the stove and pouring the milk into three glasses.
" I know it's you.", She giggles. "Mhmm...smells yummy. Eddy, is there h..honey inside it ?", she asks excitedly, licking on her lips.
" Yeah..C'mon..let's go have it.", I say and take the dish of pancakes and a glass of milk in my hands. Michael picks her up and places her down before following me out with the two other glasses of milk. Eve trails behind him and happily perch up on her usual chair. Soon we both also sit down and starts having the pancakes.
" Eddy..will you take me to park today ?", Eve asks looking at me with puppy eyes whilst nibbling on her pancake. " You told you would take me l..last time. But you didn't.", She pouts.
" Of course Evy.", Michael smiles wide at her before I can reply. " Ethan, we are going to park today.", he says turning to me. I leave an inaudible sigh. So today I will have to spent my day at the children’s park, simply looking at the kids playing. But I guess it would be fun since Michael is there.
" Okay..let's go.", I nod my head.
" Yayy ", Eve giggles. " And will you buy me ice-cream ?", she asks again looking up with those big brown doe eyes.
I can't help but smile at her cuteness. I avert my eyes to Michael and he too is smiling fondly at her, looking so adorable. I look at the hickey I made on his neck yesterday night and he blushes, looking down at his plate. I chuckle and look away nodding to Eve.
" Yess ! ", She giggles. " When are we going ? Let's go now ! "
" Hmm..okay.", I nod causing her to squeal loud. Anyway I need to go out to buy some snacks and stuff. There's practically nothing to eat at home. And sitting at home means watching Cartoons with her and reading stories to her. Going out is sure better than that.
" Or..let's go after watching Fancy Nancy...Clancy.", she says sipping on her milk glass. Gosh ! Now she will make me sit and watch that cartoon with her. No way I'm watching it today !
After break fast, I scoot upstairs saying I need to take a bath while Michael sits on the couch with Eve and starts watching 'Curious George' which was apparently streaming on the cartoon channel.
I and Michael both had showered yesterday midnight. So I don't need to bath. But I've nothing else to do now. So I pick a pair of clothes from my cupboard and starts getting ready.
Michael steps into the room while I'm styling my hair. "You are finally done watching cartoons with her ?", I chuckle.
" No..she didn't want to watch that c..cartoon. She's dressing up in her room.", he says going to the chair where his bag is sitting.
" Oh..", I hum walking towards him. " Baby..put on my t-shirt ?", I ask as he pulls out a T-shirt from his bag. He looks up and nods to me, blushing lightly.
" C'mon..let me dress you up then.", I say inching closer and pecking his lips. I then pull him to my cupboard and make him choose one from my t-shirts. He picks a blue one and after he changes into it, I make him sit down on the edge of the bed and style his hair.
" Let me go check Eve. ", I say once I'm satisfied with his hair.
" Yeah..C'mon.", He smiles and gets up from the bed, sprinting out of the room.
Eve is in front of the mirror, brushing her hair whilst humming a song and swinging her little hips as we step in. She has already changed into a light blue frock and wore matching blue socks and shoes.
"So cute.", Michael says smiling and Eve turns around smiling shyly at us.
" Eddy, come h..help me with my hair. ", She says and I goes to her, grabbing the hair brush from her hands. I pick her up and place her on the bed before running the brush smoothly through her black silky hair. Michael stands beside us watching me amusedly. " Do you want a pony tail ?", I ask Eve and afterwards chew on my tongue at how girly I sound.
" Pig tails please ?", She asks in a sweet voice. Of course I can't refuse. "Micky, get two hair ties from the dresser.", I tell him whilst starting to part her hair down the middle. He soon gets it and in no time her black hair is parted into two pig tails high on her head.
" You are so good at this ! ", Michael laughs giving me a blue hairband. I chuckle to myself whilst taking it from his hands and putting it on her head
" Okay, you are all ready. Now lets go ?", I say. She nods to me and slides down the bed, walking to the mirror to look at herself. A smile forms on her lips as she see her reflection and I'm satisfied she liked the way I did her hair.
" Let's go ! ", She turn around squealing and then runs out of the room. We both spirits out behind her, laughing.
-----
Two hour later, I and Michael walk out the mall, holding Eve's small hands in our much bigger ones. A few shopping bags hangs from both of our free hands which mostly contains clothes, shoes, toys and chocolates for Eve. Michael was like running around and picking things for her, much to her pleasure. She is smiling widely now. We also purchased some groceries and stuff. Michael wants to prepare dinner and impress my Mom when she comes back evening.
My wallet is almost empty now. But there's one thing. I also managed to buy a mischievous little pink bottle and a pink little box without Michael noticing. I don't think we would be using it anytime soon, but I felt like buying and stocking it for future. Our relationship is actually progressing well and I guess the only step left is just that. And I can't wait to pound my throbbing member hard inside him and claim him completely, heart, body and soul to myself.
To admit honestly, I wish we could do it soon cause after we go back to school, we only have the chance of kissing. We would be so afraid to do anything naughty even if we manage to sneak into one another's dorm. But I know Michael isn’t prepared for it yet and he needs more time.
" Hey..how far is the park from here ?", Michael asks tilting his head to me.
I look up and shake away the sinful thoughts from my mind. " Just fifteen minutes.", I reply, leaving Eve's hands, letting Michael guide her to the car.
" You sit in the front.", she says as Michael opens the passenger seat door for her. Although he says he would sit in the back, Eve manages to successfully pull him into the passenger seat before hoping into the back.
" Now you don't need to look at Mickey through the m..mirror. Happy ??", She asks leaning forward from the back seat as I hop in, causing Michael to laugh and blush, looking at me.
Within fifteen minutes, we reach the park and Eve excitedly runs towards the slide. I and Michael sit down on a bench and watch her join the other kids. I tilt my face to Michael and he has a wide smile on his face as he watches Eve play and talk with the kids with a huge grin on her face.
I think he already fell in love with my sister, more than me. And she too. At the mall she was clinging to him and acting like he is actually her brother and I'm some stranger. And nobody who watched them feeding each other Ice-cream in the cafe will say they just met yesterday.
" Hey..you liked her a lot ?", I ask.
" Yeah..can I take her home?", He asks tilting his head and smiling at me.
" I'm okay. But I don't think my Mom would let you.", I say.
" Your Mom's f..favourite is her ?", he asks.
" No. It's me.", I say without any doubt. I'm her first son and she loves me more. In fact she has told me she loves me more than anyone.
Michael's smile strangely fade a little. " What happened?", I ask. He shakes his head and stretches his hands to me. I smile and take his hands intertwining our fingers before averting my eyes back to Eve, making sure she is still playing safely along with the kids.
