She frowned as she continued scrolling all the way down.
Olivia and Ethan were her two (2) best friends, right from little.
They had been friends for almost eleven years (if not eleven years already) and had been very close. They had taken each other as family, well, at least 'she' took the both as family, but now that she saw this photo, she began to doubt if they had also taken 'her' as a part of their family.
She thought she hadn't seen well, so she scrolled down all the more, and the more she saw photos of them being intimate together, or being together at all, the more it made her tighten her fingers around the spoon she was holding.
She saw various pictures, of them either holding hands, Ethan's hand around Olivia's waist, Olivia's head on Ethan's shoulder, they looking at each other, and many more!
There was even one where she saw them on the beach, kissing with Olivia in a pretty much exposing bikini.
This sight had Temi frown in anger.
She had already lost her appetite for the buffet of food that she in front of her.
The photos that were displayed online were either too intimate or too sexy, as in one of them, Ethan had the side of his face on the breasts of Olivia, making the photo look disgusting to Temi.
As Temi was about to comment on the photo, and give the hell of insults they deserve, she was surprised at the number of likes the photo had and all the comments that had been made.
But when she looked up at the photo again, she felt disgusted. Not only was Ethan's head on one of Olivia's boobs, he was also lying on top of her.
She was lying on the floor, in a black bikini in a poised manner with Ethan lying atop her as he held the side of her, her waists, with his head on top of her breasts.
And the worst part of it was that they were on a dark room, so it made the picture look sexy...
The room was filled with red rose petals.
With her fingers tightened round the spoon, Temi didn't realize that her family were already in the dinning room and we're watched her expressions change, quietly.
It wasn't until her little brother touched her, did she realize she wasn't alone in the room...
Feeling someone's hand on hers, she jolted a little and then looked up.
The gaze she had on, had the person that had touched her to withdraw as well, as he was scared.
When she saw who it was, her eyes softened as she gently smiled.
Taking the little boy of four, almost five years and placing him on her laps, it was then she realized that her entire family were there.
Smiling, she looked down at her youngest brother, Bryce, she gently nibbled on his ear, causing him to giggle.
When she tickled him a little, her parents and brothers sat down on their various chairs as they watched them play, with smiles on their faces.
They all knew how Temi was very fond of little Bryce. Though, she loved all her brothers, but when it came to the youngest, everyone protected him and showered him with abundant love.
Temi's parents watched the two of them play as Temi's Mother turned to look at her husband beside her, and as if reading her mind, Temi's Dad turned to look at his wife too.
As they both caught each other's gaze, they both smiled at each other and then turned to look at all their children as the rest joined in the fun.
So after some time, they all stopped playing and then settling down to eat, little Bryan refused to leave his big sister's embrace.
"Won't you eat?" Temi asked Bryce.
Bryan shrugged one shoulder.
"The food would get pretty cold and you wouldn't like it...!" Temi said, as she tried to convince her little brother, but the boy was still adamant.
"No!" The little boy said curtly.
Temi raised her head to look at her parents for help.
When she raised her head up to look at her parents, Temi's parents lowered their eyes to their food as they descended into their food, ignoring their daughter's help look as they gently laughed.
Slightly frowning as she smiled helplessly, she turned to her brother and shrugged as she took a spoonful of her 'pepper soup'.
"Suit yourself!" She said and was about taking the second spoon of her soup when her little brother asked;
"Aunt Temi, why were you angry the other time?"
At the mention of this, all heads that were all bowed down as they all focused on their food, now raised their heads slowly as their gazes fell on Temi.
Watching her, as she slowly lowered her spoon back in to the plate of soup, she turned her head to look at the little boy on her laps, as she slowly turned to look at everyone looking straight at her.
As she looked at them, her parents also lowered their spoon as they too appeared to be in the mood to talk.
Resting their chin on the back of their palms, Temi's parents waited for her to answer.
Gently carrying Bryce off her lap, Temi sat him down on a chair, closer to her as she turned to face the table, and also, to face her parents.
Looking at her phone as she switched on the face screen to check the time, and also to avoid their intimidating gazes, Temi eventually looked up as she cleared her throat.
Looking at her brothers with a nervous smile on her face, she adjusted herself in her seat as she looked down at the ground.
"Are we intimidating you with our gazes, Temi?" Temi's Mother asked.
Shocked by the question, Temi raised her head up to look at him as she shook her head in negation.
"What?" She first asked.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...!" She said.
Although, she denied it, they all knew that she was using that to mask her fear.
"So, if that's the case, why are re- adjusting yourself in your seat?" Her Father asked solemnly.
Temi shook her head in negation like a little child.
"Nothing...!"
Her Father looked at her Mother as her mother did the same.
"Temi, you know that we're your parents, right?" Temi's Father asked as he wanted to prove a point.
Temi nodded, full aware of where this was going.
"And as your parents, there's this parent and child relationship that states you relate things that are bothering you to us...!"
"You know that, right?" Temi's Mother asked.
Temi nodded.
Her Mother nodded in relief.
"Good!" She said.
"Now what's bothering you?" Her Father asked.
Temi was prepared, yet unprepared for that moment.
Looking at her siblings with a nervous smile, she said;
"Can you boys head over to your rooms a little bit? What I wanna say is 'adult stuff'...!" As Temi said this, the first boy, Troy got up, with his android in hand, he turned back and headed up towards his room.
His food was left there.
"Troy? What 'bout your food?" Their Mother called out to him.
"It's gon' get cold and you ain't go' like it no more!" Their Mother added.
"I'll take it as lunch!" Troy said.
His Mother nodded slightly as she turned to face the table.
The second; Lucas gave a long;
"Oooooh, c'mon!" As he pouted and looked at his parents with, 'The puppy eyes'!
His parents, unfazed said;
"You heard her, Lucas, it's between parents and their daughter...!"
Their Mother said.
"Aren't we your kids too?!" Lucas asked angrily as he pouted and crossed his arms over his chest as he turned the other way.
He did this to attract his parents loving and caring attention as usual. But, sorry, the connection, had been cut off.
When he acted all childish, his parents knew what he wanted to do, so his Mother, while eating, said without raising her eyes from her food;
"When you're done with your little baby attitude, you cam go to your room!"
Hearing this almost caused Bryce to cry as he jumped down from his chair and ran upstairs, banging the door as he entered his room.
Little Bryce watched as his big brother ran upstairs with tears in his eyes, making himself tear up.
Turning to his Mother, he asked;
"Mummy, why is Lucas angry?"
The little boy's voice sounded shaky, causing his mother to look at him.
His Mother didn't say anything as she only raised her eyes to look at him, and then at her daughter, before lowering her eyes back to her food, smiling.
When his Mother didn't answer him, he turned to look up at his older sister who smiled at him and told him to head over to his brothers room and play.
When he had hurried off to his brothers, he went to Troy's, and as he knocked on the door, it was Lucas that opened the door.
When he had seen who, Lucas quickly carried his little brother up as he brought him in, and they all began to play chess.
When all they had all gone and Temi knew fully well that they were alone, even all the dishes were cleared and all the house maids were gone, she cleared her throat and as she faced her parents, she began talking.
