Aki's POV
She was still grimacing in pain.
"Cause of Death: Laceration," Tinnie muttered while trying to stand. She had just been discharged from the hospital.
"Mom said not to force yourself if you can't," I said, holding her arm.
"I know, but damn it, Aki, how big is your... thing?" she asked, making me gulp.
"8.9."
Her eyes widened.
Why? What's wrong with 8.9? Better than having a tweety bird, right?
"8.9? XL? Damn, no wonder it caused a laceration right away," she shot me a glare.
Drin is going to kill me for what I did to his stepsister. I didn't even take her home yesterday—or after what happened.
I smiled as the memory of what we did crossed my mind. She's mine now.
"Tinnie?" I whispered in her ear.
"What? Whispering and spitting saliva while you're at it," she complained.
"We have a family reunion next week, and I'd like to invite you. Is that okay?"
"It's okay, but I'm still recovering from a laceration." I noticed her cheeks reddening.
"You'll heal," I reassured her. I'll be her strength.
"Aki, if you dare leave me, I'll take you out for good."
"I won't leave you, Tinnie. If I could tie myself to you, I would, but it's not the time yet. We're still young. I may have claimed you, but we're still young," I kissed her forehead.
I'm 21, and Tinnie is 18. There's a three-year gap between us. Just one more jump, and I'll graduate. I'm a fourth-year college student, and Tinnie's in her second year.
"You've already claimed me, so don't ever leave me because I'm not joking about getting you taken out." She gently pinched my cheek. "Your cheeks are so fluffy."
"So are yours."
"I have fluffy cheeks, but I'm not a chick." I laughed at her remark.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Henry called from the kitchen.
"AKI, WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR TINNIE!?" Ayana yelled.
"Did you score, Aki?" Chaira asked.
"Are you okay, Tinnie?" Sunshine asked.
"Cristina Rielle Cordova, you worried me. What happened?" Virgina asked.
"Tinnie, why are you sick?" Ayana added.
Their barrage of questions only stopped when my male friends entered the room, frowning.
"Aki, your mom told me to give you this. She said it's the medicine you asked for to treat Tinnie's laceration," Ken said, still frowning.
"Laceration? But you don't have any wounds, Tinnie." Apple examined Tinnie's arm.
I should have known—I'm too big and long for her.
They nodded in agreement.
"You penetrated my stepsister, Aki," Drin said with emphasis on every word.
"What's the connection?" Chinny asked sharply.
"Aunt said Tinnie got a laceration because it's not just a simple cut. The cut on her labia isn't the only thing; it goes deeper into the vaginal walls, which were stretched," Raphael explained.
"Congrats, you're so smart," Virgina retorted.
Tinnie's grip on me tightened. I could feel her sharp nails digging into my skin.
"Guys, chill. I'm fine," Tinnie gave them a reassuring smile.
"But Tinnie, he's already claimed you. There's no escaping Aki now," Francel added.
"Then I won't escape. You're not going to leave me, right, Aki?" Tinnie looked at me, and so did everyone else.
"Of course, I won't," I replied.
"Big words, Aki. Maybe you're just like my brother," Angelo muttered as he entered the room.
"SHUT UP!" I raised my voice and stood from my seat, feeling Tinnie grab my clenched fist.
"You don't need to compare me to others. I know my imperfections," I said, glaring at Angelo.
I know how I feel about Tinnie—she's just oblivious.
Angelo is just trying to provoke me. Let him try taking her away, and I swear I won't forgive him. Regarding Tinnie, I don't spare anyone—not even friends.
