"So, the great 'CAPTAIN LICK' was heartbroken huh?"
He asked and he was like he is teasing our oldest brother. This a*hole, the more he gets older, the more immature and bully well, he was spoiled with his 'girl best friend too' but I don't know what is really going on between them.
"Yeah right, Buz lightyear," I said and Lick pouted when I glanced at him but I just smirked, mocking him too ."And take note for it is the first time!" I uttered like I found a gem for the first time in my life.
"Uh-uh 'gosh'" Buz said as he was imitating my tone and he even covered his mouth like I was doing sometimes when I felt embarrassed or I was teasing someone so I glared at him and he talked again.
"The guy who taught me to be a playboy was heartbroken and has been played?" He uttered again as he continued the teasing and I gazed at Lick who was grinning too as he got the pillow near him and threw on Buz' face and it hit him straight in the face.
"Taught? Says who?" Lick asked cockingly but with an innocent expression.
Here's the boys again, ruining the dramatic ambiance but, I was glad that Lick was already smiling again. Nice one Buz lightyear.
Well, I call him Buz lightyear sometimes since I watched the movie "Toy story" when I was a kid and Lick proclaimed that he was Woody, the main character but I refuse and I told him that he more fits Mr. Potato head and he said that I fit too, the character named Hamm but I was his girl version so I cried back then.
Uh, times when we were comforting each other just because of grades but look, it was already connected to real life, love life or whatsoever. Might as well that after Lick's heartbreak, Buz will be next and I don't know if when is mine.
Hoping not to happen but that can't be avoided.
"Oh come on, bro!" Buz stated as he sat next to me so I needed to fix the way I was sitting for us to fit all in the sofa, I just got stuck between big guys. My gosh, I really looked like their little girl.
"So, what really happened? Is this about Ely again?" Buz said seriously and 'again'? So it means that maybe this issue existed a long time ago then but this is just the perfect time that it comes out?
"Yeah, unfortunately." Lick said as he sighed deeply again and I looked to Buz who was sitting next to me at my right side and he put his arm on my back.
"Hmm, that was I was telling you about at first already Lick, but you were blinded then. Taste the pain of your stubbornness." Buzz uttered and his tone was like he is more superior than our oldest brother, like he is older than Lick.
The thick audacity of this shameless guy was evolving too huh? It does "glow up" hmm.
"Don't speak like that to our Captain, you two are both the same," I complied and they both smiled when I glanced at them.
"But I'm more handsome, right baby?" Buz said with his deep voice too and the way he talked was like the technique he does whenever he was flirting with girls. The nerve of this guy.
"Uh-uh, you two looked like monkeys," I said and they growled in chorus saying, "Lei!!!" And I just gave them a questioning look and I chuckled.
"So back to serious mode," Buz stated and I looked at him while Lick was looking from afar again like there was an important thing out there that needed to watch and focused on.
"You, Captain, have ever noticed that there were a lot of stages of love?" He said and Lick glanced at him and well, he calls Lick Captain too sometimes and Lick coughed a little before he spoke.
"That's basic moron, that is the attraction, dating, disappointment, stability and others and then commitment. And wait infatuation dies count sometimes too, and you can google it." Lick stated like he just informed Buz that he was an idiot since Mom gave him birth.
"How really stupid you are?" Buzz said mockingly as he rolled his eyes, as he laid his foot on the table comfortably like what I did earlier, there is the bully Buz again, he can fit the role of being best friend of Xian.
Uh never mind.
"Lick, what I mean is the stages of love is like climbing a staircase? Climbing a staircase of a public two storey building," he said and he paused and I looked at him and I saw him looking from afar too like Lick.
Seriously, what's the matter from that view, it's so pure darkness slightly conquered by the street light and the moon's and star's light.
"Before you will reach your floor destination, and that floor destination represents the right person which we can conclude that she or he is on the third floor. Then while you are climbing using that staircase, consider that as your journey already, and there is a big chance that you will meet a lot of people. And they will be represented as the wrong person who will guide you in different ways to reach your destination, like they will teach you lessons in life and some of them are going downstairs already right?"
He said and I nodded and Lick answered a simple, "yeah" which informed Buz that we got what he was saying and pointed out as he continued to speak.
"Also we will meet some person too that you thought you are walking in the same direction which we thought they are already the one which is specifically not at the end of time and you'll get lessons again."
He sighed and he looked at us, what happened to the playful playboy brother of mine and he had these deep thoughts already?
"Since you won't share the same direction, you need to continue your life because that's what life is, life must go on. You needed to move on for the better things to come. So when you move again, and reach your right direction, you have already gone through, you are already mastered, trained and smart enough and that was the right time to meet the right person for you. Because you will already meet her or him by passing those challenges in life but the fruit of hard work is that, at the end of time you will reach your destination and that is the right person" he clearly explained which I understand but I don't know on Lick's side.
"You mean, those people that you have met and walked in, bumped or something are the one who are testing your patiences in terms of love? They'll test how long your patience is in finding the right person and while you are doing that journey, the right person also tested how long his or her patience while waiting for you and he or she doesn't forcefully get some other person all along your journey." Lick asked and by his expression, he got what Buz was saying.
"Exactly, that is my point and the right one for you will face both the challenges before meeting each other and what they call the process of the right time, like what they always said? Right person at the right time."
He said calmly and my respect for this man is increasing again like my respect for the oldest brother of us.
"So the people you have encountered during that process of the right time are the people we can call ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend? Like You just met but you were not destined to each other sort of thing?" I said and they both laughed on what I asked.
"Yeah, that's what we called those flirts and play girls or play boys like 'Buz'," Lick said as he glanced at Buz who had the questioning look.
"And maybe the ones who left you for them to go for the other person and they will leave the previous people that they've met, like 'Lick'."
Buz mocked too while looking at Lick, they are really my brothers but I guess, maturity will just visit them rarely and it was just for a second.
"Lick, promised me that, that bottle you just emptied will be the last bottle huh? No more beers or something?" I asked him and he gave me a sweet smile but still, the sadness on his color black eyes like mine, were still visible.
All of us had the color black eyes, From Dad and Mom too Lick and Buz and of course me, but my had the kind of hooded shaped eyes from Dad and it was scary when they are raging with anger or they have the stoic expression like Xian and MJosh. And I have almond shaped eyes too that I got from my beautiful mother.
"Yes lady boss, thank you to you," he said as he kissed my forehead and he glanced to Buz who was looking far away again, "and to your comforting words too, dimwit." He said he was making fun of our words on stage again and he looked back at Lick too and a smirk formed on her red lips.
"Then where is my forehead kiss too babe?" He said and Lick got the other pillow again as he threw it on Buz who is already running out from this room.
"Good night Captain crying baby!!" Buz shouted before he closed the door and I laughed about it.
"Good night Captain Lick, sleep now. I love you, take a rest but before that, go to shower first." I said and I hugged him before I stood up.
"I will, Good night my littles sis, Love you too." He said and I smiled as we both stood up as he headed to his bathroom and J left him alone.
Uh, I'm hoping that he will feel better now.
