K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POV

After breakfast with Alejandra, Ace, Kael, and Stiles, I went up to pack my things. Kael had mentioned that our stay here will soon be exhausted so I had to get my things ready cause if I’m to admit, I kinda miss the Brothers’ mansion.

It’s been a full week since the whole incident with Kael occurred and in the past week, I’ve been trying to pull my body and mind together. Nothing really big happened that night but it affected me so much that it took a whole lot of days before memories of that night could stop reappearing in my dreams.

I had gone too far and that had been the silliest mistake of my life which I’ll never forget but am glad I had woken up to it sooner than later.

Kael too has been way distant, giving me all the boundaries I sure needed and I appreciated him for that. Most times, we don’t even catch a glimpse of each other and he doesn’t call up for anything either.

At first, I was damn hurt. I had made the greatest mistake of my life but now I had a chance to learn from it, and I felt a lot better.

” Hey ” Alejandra greeted once she’d gotten into the room, dismissing my thoughts immediately. I looked up and smiled while she came to sit at the edge of the bed.

” Packing already? ” She asked and I nodded while she smiled. Nowadays, we don’t say many words to each other. She just takes Stiles and I to places where we barely talk but have fun.

I had been so mad at her until I realized I was only being terrible. Was it her fault she didn’t tell me who her date for that night was? She even went ahead to enroll me in a modeling school, could you imagine that?

” It’s sad that the vacations are almost coming to an end. I enjoyed every bit of the times we spent together ”

” Oh, come on, don’t say it like we’re leaving already ”

” What difference does it make? ” She asked and I turned to look at her. She had this odd expression on her face that made me wonder. Was she gonna miss us or was it Kael?

” Come, take a seat. It’s been a long we talked ”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I dropped the dress I was holding and went to sit on the sofa which faced her. She heaved and came over to sit on the other end.

” Since after that night a week ago, you’ve changed, I mean things changed and I know I’ve asked you countless times but as always it boils down to your favorite answer…”

” Nothing changed ” I chirped in and she nodded cause she’s heard that more than once.

” But I need you to tell me the truth, Leigh. What happened? This is clearly between you and Kael cause I don’t even see you anywhere near him. He doesn’t send for you and… It’s starting to make me think ” She said and I just kept staring at her moving mouth till she stopped talking. I sighed. What the hell does she want me to say? That I had been so stupid and had given out myself to Kael only to get rejected by him?

” And don’t think I’ve not been asking him too cause I have, severally. He just says he doesn’t wanna bother you and needs you to enjoy your stay here ” She continued and I shrugged. He said it all.

” I don’t know. If those are his reasons then isn’t that perfect? – Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted? To be with him and do everything for him? ”

I wanted to add the last part but I held myself. There was no point channeling my disappointments and heartbreaks at her. It’s just that talking about Kael for days now was something I never wanted to do and I had to change the topic.

” I miss the brothers’ mansion. It’s such a terrible feeling cause it’s always hell back there ”

Alejandra chuckled and I felt glad it was working. Finally, no talks about him or whatever.

” I bet Kyler and Kash don’t give many headaches like Kenver ”

” How did you know? ” I asked surprised and she chuckled before responding.

” Cause Kenver gives everyone a headache. He’s the lord of misdeeds and trust me, he makes it in turns sometimes but he’ll sure make it reach everyone. ”

As I thought of it, my mind drifted to Kyler. He doesn’t give headaches unless you cross his path which is what I’ve done like four to five times.

” Kyler ” I didn’t realize when it slipped out until Alejandra asked.

” You like him? ”

I flinched and shook my head continually. Hell no. Who the heck would even love a monster and the king of darkness like Kyler? Certainly not me.

” Who knows? There could be a whole lot of sweetness in him ” She continued and I scoffed. Sweetness? Did she just say sweetness? ” “Naturally, Kyler is one of the most caring people I know. Since childhood, he’s always cared so much for his brothers despite all their troubles. You wouldn’t be able to count the numerous times he saved them from their shits ”

” Well, thank God you mentioned his brothers to be precise cause aside from those set of people in this world, he doesn’t care if anyone else exists ” I replied bluntly and she smiled. What was funny?

” You may not know until you try getting closer, Leigh. Until you try to be more than his brothers to him. ”

Oh really? At first, I just stared at her like she had spoken in Spanish but the next moment, I was laughing pretty hard that I hurt my ribs. Was she shitting me at the moment?

” You do realize my life would be involved. Like, I’d be dead before even thinking of getting a step closer ”

” My dad always said you don’t know how sweet and coil a fire could be until you step a little bit closer, ” She said and I gave her a scornful look.

” And did your father mention that moving too close to that same fire could destroy you? It could burn you till you’re covered in ashes. You know that right?”

” That’s why he said a little bit closer. You won’t just barge into the fire cause it’ll sure burn you to the ground. And being a little bit closer, you can quench it easily so it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else. That also goes to Kyler. You don’t judge a book by its cover, Leigh. ”

I scoffed and shook my head. Does she know what she’s saying? It’s clear she doesn’t. Someone should tell her.
