"I'm so excited!"
It was 6 p.m. in the evening, when Lay was finally ready to visit his girlfriend at her house. He's wearing a white T-shirt, black jeans, and sneakers, but he still looked attractive with his strong bearing and alluring face, which seemed to have been painted perfectly by a brilliant artist.
Before going out of his little apartment, he looked at himself in the mirror again. He tried practicing how to smile, but the more he practiced, the more it became funnier.
"Cheese!"
"Hehe!"
"Damn it! I looked so silly!" He scratches his nape and chuckles, but then he still takes a final glance at the mirror and smiles sweetly and simply this time.
He looked so amusing but undeniably handsome and cute with his gestures!
His thick eyebrows, silvery-gray eyes, pointed nose, and small face couldn't be more perfect. As he smiled sweetly, the very white and well-formed teeth in between his soft and reddish lips just made him look enchanting.
"Cheska, I hope you'll be happy with my surprise visit tonight!" He picked up the box of cake and three roses from the table.
He hasn't fully paid his tuition fee yet and hasn't been able to pay his rent with his apartment for two months already, but he chose to use his last penny to buy a cake and roses for his girlfriend because it is their third anniversary already.
He always smiles; he's a very jolly person, but behind all those smiles he used to show people every day, his life was very hard and sad. He has been a part-time crew member at a fast food chain and a part-time janitor at the University of Phoenix for about four years already. Aside from that, he's doing a lot of part-time jobs from time to time just to support himself.
[Babe!?]
Lay texted while outside the gate because Cheska was not answering his calls.
After a few minutes, he noticed that the gate was unlocked. Well, he knew that only Cheska was living in this house, and she was inside because the lights were already on. So he decided to get inside.
As soon as he reached the main door, he started wondering why it was widely open because Cheska used to close the main door and just stay inside her room whenever she stayed here.
"Is she expecting me to come?" Lay smiled and got even more excited to see her upon thinking of it.
However, his eyes narrowed when he saw some clothes scattered in the living room. It was not only Cheska's clothes but also a man's clothes and shoes that seemed familiar to him.
His heartbeat started racing. The excitement he felt lately slowly changed into fear when some dirty, bad thoughts entered his mind. It even got worse when he saw her room with the lights on and the door barely open.
He's hesitating to go there because he's afraid to confirm his assumptions. But then he heard a soft moan of pleasure from that room.
He clenched his fist and immediately walked toward the room. Eventually, it seemed like his jaws dropped as he confirmed his thoughts and saw his beloved girlfriend naked with another man with his own eyes.
What's worst? The naked man she's currently riding on and having pleasure with is his stepbrother, who bullies and takes everything from him, even since they were just kids.
The box of cake fell from his hand, but the two just kept doing what they were doing like they hadn't heard the noise and never noticed him at all.
Their moans were screeching in Lay's ears, which went directly to his nerves. He felt like his heart was being crumpled; he felt too much pain until he couldn't take it anymore.
"Cheska!" He shouted angrily, which finally caught the attention of the two betrayers.
Cheska looked so startled when she saw Lay and immediately covered herself with a blanket. On the other hand, Jeo looked pissed off to see his stepbrother and just started to pick up his clothes.
"F**CK!" Despite being in such a messy situation, Lay couldn't stop himself from laughing a little when he saw that tiny co*** in between Jeo's thighs, which Jeo immediately hid too and looked a little bit embarrassed. As in, even Lay couldn't say if it reached 3 inches or not. Geez!
But the amusement he felt towards Jeo's co*** didn't last long. He felt rage again.
"What is the meaning of this?" Lay asked. His voice seemed calm; he's desperately trying to be calm even though he's feeling so much pain.
Her almond-blue eyes were filled with guilt and pity.
"I'm sorry, Lay," was the only response he could get from his beloved girlfriend.
"Sorry? That's all you can say? Huh?" He shouted and then faintly laughed. "You cheated on me with my stepbrother, and you'll just say sorry? What??" He can't control his anger anymore.
"I thought you had broken up with him already," Jeo said. He's already wearing his jeans but no tops.
Lay shifted his gaze to his stepbrother. His eyes were full of rage, as if he wanted to swallow him whole. "Shut up, you, tiny co***!" He shouted, eventually facing his girlfriend again.
"Explain it to me! Tell me that he only forced you and that you don't like him at all." This time, his tone is cracking with pain. He just couldn't believe it; he doesn't know what the right thing is to feel, say, or do. Everything just seemed so wrong.
Jeo was pissed off at what Lay called him, but he sniggered at how desperate his words sounded now. "Come on, bro. Why are you insisting on your useless love for someone who doesn't love you anymore? She's mine already. Just lea--" But before Jeo could finish speaking, Lay had already pushed him to the walls.
Lay was about to punch him, but Cheska stepped in. "Enough!" She shouted, unwavering, even though Lay's fist had almost hit her delicate face already.
"Step aside!" Lay angrily yelled at her.
"How dare you try to lay a hand on Jeo? I love him, so we're done now, Lay. We're done, so get out of here!" She yelled back in anger. "Get lost!"
Lay can't believe how protective she was of Jeo and that she loves him. Her every word just pierces his heart. It's like he was stabbed by a sharp knife again and again, but he still wasn't killed.
"See? She loves me, not you." Jeo was smug. "Stupid useless stepbrother!" But Lay didn't mind him; he only cares about Cheska.
"Why? Why, Cheska? Am I not enough?" Lay's face and small eyes couldn't be more sad this time.
"You think you are enough?" Cheska scoffed. "Come on, Lay. You expect me to stay and love you until the end? You can't even buy a new brief, and you're asking me why I chose your stepbrother, who is the son of a millionaire?" She smirked.
Jeo burst out in laughter. "You know what, bro, visit home sometimes. I have a lot of extra briefs at home!" Jeo even had the nerve to mock him, and he started hugging Cheska from behind.
"You've taken everything from me since I was little. My dad's love, my home. You're not satisfied yet; you even covet my girlfriend." He faintly laughs and gazes at Cheska with his eyes, seeming to be saying that he had just squandered all his efforts for her; even his dreams for them were completely ruined.
"Be happy with him!" Such a nice man; he even wishes her to be happy.
"I surely will. He can buy anything I want anyway!" Cheska confidently said, but will she really be happy with him until the end?
