Torn Between The Carter Brothers

“Wait for me while I go get you some water,”

I murmured once she was already nodding off even more, then I gently set her in on the bed and rose to my feet. She let out a soft sigh and curled up into a small, adorable ball while nodding.

“Okay, don’t be long.”

I let out a relieved breath after leaving the room and shutting the door after me. She’s undoubtedly already falling for me.

I was heading for the kitchen when Marco suddenly emerged from nowhere, then he was punching me in the jaw before I could see his hand coming.

“You bastard!” He growled, aiming another punch at me but I easily caught his hand this time and shoved him aside, then I grinned at him, acting completely oblivious as I folded my arms.

“What’s the matter, dearest brother? Care to explain the reason for this tantrum?”

He was visibly fuming, and it almost seemed like this is the angriest I’ve seen him in a long while. He pointed a hand at me as he gritted his next words out.

“So, you’re really fucking her?!” He thundered, his veins almost popping from how hard he was scowling right now.

“I heard everything. I thought it was a joke but you’re really together?” He continued, his teeth still gritted tightly and I rolled my eyes, attempting to walk past him, but as expected, he blocked me. I made a sigh of rolling my eyes as I focused on his scowling face again.

“What do you want, Marco? I came down to get some water for my girlfriend, seeing as her throat had gotten raw from how much she was screaming. Now, if you’ll excuse me…” I made to slip past him but he blocked me again.

“You don’t deserve her. Someone as messed up as you don’t deserve at all. So, you’ve really taken her virginity? You bastard who run through girls faster than underwear is the last person on earth that deserved it.” He snapped, voice loud and I wondered if he wasn’t worried should Aisha overhear him right now.

I rolled my eyes then I arched a brow at him. “Really, now? Okay so, who do you think deserved her virginity? You?”

His jaw clenched tightly as he kept staring at me, then he stepped closer to me. “And what if I say I do? After all, I’m the man you’ll never become in your entire life even if you chose to clean up all the messes you’ve created in your entire life. I’m definitely a way better man compared to you, so what if i say that I do deserve it?” He demanded, voice lowered this time.
