Chapter 24 - Guess Who (1/2)

I was shocked. My brain stopped working for a minute as if it was static. The moment I came to my senses I began to cover my self up with the bed sheets although I was still in my undėrwėȧr. My eyes moved at Regina. She already had pulled up the sheets above her ċhėst, covering it with her hand since she was practically nȧkėd at the time.

Anyone would have acted the same way, if they were invaded by someone during any sėxuȧŀ activity and in my case that person was none other than my brother-in-law, Neil.

Neil stood still in front of the door with a blank expression. It did not seemed like a shocked or fierce expression. Just blank stare with dumbfounded look.

” Uh.. Umm- my sis called you guys downstairs for lunch.” As soon his sentence was finished, he closed the door and left. Regina shifted her body at my side, still holding the bed sheet with her hand.

” Who was that?” She asked which was more like an angry whisper.

” Stella's brother-” My sentence was cut off

” Does he knows about the whole thing? He didn't looked surprised.”

” I don't know, maybe he knows. Anyway let's go there and see.”

We put on our clothes quickly. The buŧŧons of my shirt were still half way done. Both of us walked down the staircase in a hurry. As we enter the dining room I could hear Neil's and Stella's voice. They were arguing with each other.

” You should have knocked!” I heard Stella yelling at her brother.

” The door was open-”

” You were supposed to knock first before entering someone's room! God damn it!” She was right but we kept the door unlocked so we were also at fault.

” It's fine Stella. Don't shout at your brother.” I jumped into their conversation to calm her down.

” Thanks man. And I didn't saw anything.” He gave me a wink, pressing his lips inside.

” Yeah. It's already.” I gave off a laugh to end this matter. My eyes went around the table and I saw Sushi boxes.

” What's all this?”

” Actually I got my first salary so wanted to spend it on you. But I couldn't figure out what to buy, that's why I decided to give you a sushi treat.” With a large smile Stella replied.

” Aww! You should have used it for yourself.” Regina was also surprised and overwhelmed.

” Nah! I wanted to do something since all this happened thanks to Theo. If he never encouraged me to get a job I wouldn't have done all this.”

” Come on. I just only told you to do what you like, that's it.” I was happy that I could help her with something. She deserves a lot, she has so much potential and I believe that in future she can achieve something great. That's why I wanted to cheer her up no matter how small is the matter.

Ironically I feel like a proud father.

As we started to eat, we talked about lot of things. Stella's brother was not that talkative. He was silent most of the time. Where else Stella and Regina heated off their conversation as if there was no tomorrow. I occasionally replied or gave my opinions.

We finished our lunch and all of us decided to watch a movie. The movie ended and I noticed Stella and her brother fell asleep on their seats.

Like sister like brother.

Regina got up from her seat. ” I should go now, it's almost evening.”

” You sure you wanna go? You could stay here if you want.” I told her for the last time.

” No, maybe some other day.” Her voice sounded dull.
