No one's P.O.V
The sun's warm rays hit the two girl's faces. Lara shifts in her sleep, accidentally rubbing against her cousin's butt.
Sheylia immediately wakes up and pushes her cousin off her bed with her eyes closed.
"Uggmm...." Lara groans with her eyes squeezed shut.
"Oh my gosh! I am so so so sorry!!!" Sheylia apologetically says while crawling to the other side of the bed and looking down at the small girl on the floor.
"What the hell was that for?!" Lara screams at Sheylia,
"I'm sorry, I just thought you were...s-someone else," Sheylia stutters while looking down at her lap and starts playing with her fingers.
"Someone else?" Lara asks confused, crawling back up on the bed, "What did I do that made you think I was someone else?" she looks at her older cousin waiting for a response.
"Umm...you touched my butt in your sleep by accident...." Sheylia awkwardly says,
"Oh, haha I'm sorry," Lara chuckles then suddenly stops, "But who did you think I was?" She asks.
"If I tell you, you promise to listen to what I have to say after?" Sheylia says while looking at the younger girl.
"Yeah sure," Lara agrees,
"I thought....I thought you were Lyde....." Sheylia quietly says. She never planned on telling Lara that her own brother was harassing her.
"Lyde? What, why did you think I was Lyde...?" Her eyes widened, "Wait?! Are you guys secretly in a relationship....?" Lara asks, pointing a finger at Sheylia, making her surprised that that's what her younger cousin thought.
"WHAT?! NO I AM NOT AND WILL NEVER BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH LYDE!!!!" Sheylia yells with her eyes shut tight, making Lara jump by the sudden noise.
"Okay okay calm down, but please tell me why you thought I was Lyde," Lara says trying to calm her cousin down. Sheylia tells Lara about what has been happening for the past two years.
Lara gasps,
"What...?" "I'm sorry....I- " she pauses, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?!" Lara says while jumping on the bed and wrapping her arms tightly around her cousins body, trying to protect her. "I thought we tell each other everything..." Lara says into Sheylia's shoulder. Sheylia reciprocates the hug.
"I know..I just didn't want to freak you out by telling you that your own brother is doing this...." Sheylia says while tearing up. Lara feels something wet on her shoulder and neck, she tightens the hug.
"Please don't cry... I'm not mad, I'm just confused and shocked.." Lara says softly, "But, it all makes sense now!" Sheylia pulls out of Lara's arms and looks at her confused, while tilting her head she asks,
"What? What makes sense now?"
"Why he was always looking at you," Lara says,
"Wait, you noticed?!" Sheylia says shocked, she thought no one noticed.
"Yeah isn't it obvious? 24/7 looking at you, like yesterday at the dinner table, the only two places he looked was at you and his plate," Lara says while shaking her head unimpressed with her brother, "I also feel the tension when you two are in the same room as each other. So I started to think that he had a crush on you or you guys were already secretly in a relationship".
"Oh," was all Sheylia could think to say.
"I can tell my mom if you want, or your mom," Lara suggests.
"No no!" Sheylia quickly answers, "I want to be the one to tell him,"
"Okay, I understand," Lara smiles, "But if I see that bastard hurt you I will kill him, even if he is my brother, I knew he had problems but I would've never expected this," she says in a serious tone, kinda scaring Sheylia a bit.
"Now that that's out of the way let's go get ourselves breakfast," Sheylia says as she gets up and changes into a big yellow t-shirt and a pair of black leggings. Lara just put on the clothes she wore yesterday. Lara walks out of the bedroom, Sheylia grabs the pyjamas and throws them in her laundry basket.
When Sheylia gets to the bottom of the staircase she sees Lara standing there.
"Umm Lara, what are you doing?" She asks,
"I was waiting for you, until you tell him no I am your body guard, I'm not letting you go in the kitchen without me there with you," Lara whispers, "I looked in the kitchen and saw him there so I waited for you so we can go in together,"
Sheylia hugs her cousin,
"Thanks,"
"Anything for you, you're my favorite cousin after all," Lara says while breaking the hug, looking at her cousin in her eyes she says, "I will try to always be right behind you, so if I accidentally touch you, it's just me and sorry in advance".
Lyde's P.O.V
While eating my cereal I hear footsteps coming from the hallway, I look up from my bowl and see Sheylia walk into the kitchen wearing an oversized yellow t-shirt and black leggings, that hug her legs perfectly. Smirking, I imagine that she is wearing my t-shirt. I try to finish my breakfast quickly. Suddenly I see my sister clinging onto Sheylia's back, I feel my jealousy building up again.
I feel as if someone is looking at me so I look up and Lara is staring right at me, with a small smirk plastered on her face.
I scoff, wait does Lara like her too?
No she can't, I won't let her have what's mine! I finish eating my cereal and walk to the sink. In the corner of my eye I see Sheylia struggling to get the cereal off the shelf. This is my chance, I smirk and start walking towards her.
A few seconds later I see Lara grab some tongs and block me from helping her. She hands the tongs to Sheylia,
"Tongs, really?" Sheylia giggles. Oh how much I love her laugh.
She successfully gets the cereal.
I begin to wash my dishes, if Lara thinks she can have Sheylia, ohh she is soo wrong. I finish washing my dishes and make my way out of the kitchen, but before I leave I take one last glance at Sheylia. Her beautiful dark brown eyes look up at me anxiously, I feel my heart begin to race. She's all nervous because of me, cute. I leave the kitchen and head up the stairs. As I walk down the hallway I see the white door to Sheylia's bedroom slightly open. I push it open and sneak in. Taking in a deep breathe of air, it smells just like her, vanilla beans. I suddenly hear dishes from downstairs. They must've finished eating their breakfast, I quickly leave and close the door quietly then rush to Callum's bedroom.
No one's P.O.V
Both girls make their way to Sheylia's bedroom. With Sheylia leading, she gets to the door first.
"Didn't I leave my door slightly open when I left?" Sheylia asks herself. They enter her bedroom.
-Time skip-
Currently 3:34pm.
"Okay Shey, I'm going to head out now and I'm going to bring Lyde with me okay?" Lara says,
"Yep!" Sheylia smiles. Lara grabs her bag and gives her older cousin a big hug, she whispers,
"Remember I'm your bodyguard now,"
Sheylia laughs, "Right, okay"
Lara leaves, but not before getting her older brother.
Lara's P.O.V
I knock on Callum's door.
"Come in!" I hear Callum yell from the other side of the door. I open the door and see Callum and Lyde sitting on the floor in front of a tv, playing some videogame.
"Lyde, mom wants us home now so let's go," I say. Lyde gives me a death glare, then tells Callum that he has to go.
I wait for him to leave Callum's room then follow behind him. We exit our cousin's house and start walking home.
It was silent for a while when suddenly Lyde speaks up,
"Why were you clinging onto Sheylia's back earlier?" He asks without looking at me,
"Oh, uhh, I don't know, why?" I respond, waiting for his response.
"Just wondering, because I never really see you hugging or clinging onto her like that," he says.
"I hug and cuddle with her all the time, you just don't see it because we are always in her bedroom," I say, he looks at me with dark eyes, I notice that his temperament changed as soon as I said those words. He looks away and puts his attention back in front of him.
He seems angry,
"Hey, are you good?" I ask him,
I hear him say that he's fine, but he clearly isn't. Oh my god, he is jealous! As soon as I said that I hug and cuddle with Sheylia his mood changed. I bet he likes her, and that's wrong because we are family, yes Sheylia is not technically a blood relative but still, it's wrong. I need to protect her until she's ready to tell him to stop.
