Torn Between The Carter Brothers

I have a lot of questions to ask, but I feel like it’s just best to leave those questions for later seeing as the two men who I could ask these questions looked pissed as fuck right now. And watching them lose it in the museum just now showed me a glimpse of just how much they hate each other, and right now, I realized that it was far deeper than I initially realized.

Right after we got thrown out of the museum, we went into the cafe right beside the museum, and that’s where we’re all presently in, around a table, while the two men scowled while nursing cups of

coffee.

Aisha was on her phone, and beside her, Marco was briefly running a towel through his hair. I was sitting beside Zade, mopping his hair with a towel while wishing that I could do this for Marco right

now as well.

“You had to go and ruin this day for us, didn’t you?” Zade finally broke the silence and as expected,

macro leveled him with a sharp glare.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“You punched me first. You brought up the past, which is just a make belief version of the story. It’s your fault from all angles.”

Marco scowled darkly at Zade and looked like he was seriously considering starting the fight once again, already rising from his seat.

“Marco, please…” I called out quietly, not wanting them to go at it again, cause the last one I just witnessed looked scary as hell.

Marco’s eyes met with mine for a moment, then he was sitting and pressing his towel against his face, while Aisha still remained on her phone. I wanted to ask Marco if he’s alright, if he wanted a hug, or anything else, but that would seem really inappropriate right now, seeing as I technically have a boyfriend, but my heart ached in my chest at the thought of Marco hurting.

I let out a sigh and turned to face Zade who was already staring at me and I blushed at being caught staring at Marco. Zade didn’t say a thing, he only arched a brow at me and I resumed mopping his hair while wondering if what Marco said about him was true or not. I stared closely at Zade’s face as I tried to figure that out, but I found that hard to click in my head.

Zade might seem like such a playboy, but I just couldn’t picture him purposely fucking his brother’s girlfriend,

I mean, in our own case, I was the one who asked him to fuck me, not the other way around, so I seriously doubt that.

“Are you alright?” I asked him quietly and he was silent at first before slowly nodding while exhaling a long breath.

After that, Zade faced the other couple. Marco was staring at us when I glanced back in his direction, a dark expression across his face and I didn’t know if he was mad at Zade, or at me for comforting him.
