When the Ice Queen melts

Chapter 18

Avery

It's funny, really! Imagine myself doing a tip toe entering our living room. It almost 11 pm so I think my parents and Emert are already sleeping.

" So? How was the date? " a manly voice spoke behind me making me jump.

" Oh god! You scared me! " I muttered under my breath while clutching my chest. I almost had an heart attack.

My twin brother Emert stood up and buried his hands inside his pockets. " Now answer my question Avery, how was your date? "

How does be know? If i tell him, would he rejects me or accept me?

I chose not to response, I chose not to look at him and pretend I didn't hear him.

He slides his fingers through his blonde hair. " Are you officially dating with Emeri? "

He snapped my attention with his question. I feel every fibers of my body scattered everywhere from nervousness.

I sighed and sat across him, my hands were shaking. In order to relax I closed my eyes and breath slowly. I am not really ready for this kind of conversations, for this kind.... I mean, with Emert? He's a straight guy, disciplined, smart and nice. As i knew Emert, his very civil when Emeri comes in our house. They talked and joke to each other.

I just looked down on the floor, I'm afraid to see what was the reaction of Emert about me? Having a relationship with the Ice Queen? The Queen Bee?

I didn't even know where to start, or what to say! I'm afraid. But, I'm more terrified if I lose emeri.

" Avery. I'm your brother! I'm your twin! " He stated. But i don't had a courage to met his gazed. " I know you! I know you love her, Emeri! You cant deny that! "

I sighed " I'm afraid Emert " finally i have a balls to look at him straight in his hazel eyes. " I'm afraid to hear what others opinion about me and Emeri. That I'm disgusting and disgrace to our family because i fall for a girl? That would be ridiculous! " My voice is full of sadness.

Emert stayed in silent.

" I love her, and i didn't expected this to happen either. I hate her! But when i met and know her more. She's-- Amazing! She love me. So much Emert. I feel it ! " I cant hold my tears anymore and free them to escaped from my eyes .

" Averi, " he whispered.

My eyes blinded by my own tears. " I love her so much "

I covered my face with my hands to more tears and sadness written all over my face.I'm afraid that this would be the end of me and emeri.

Emert stood up and sat beside me, without any words he wrapped me his arms around me. I tensed up a little but i know for that moment he accepted me for who i am. We're siblings, twins and we love each other. He feels what i feel. When im sad he's sad, when im happy he would too.

" I would never judge you for what you are Averi. I never disowned you as my sister. " He paused a little " I love you completely! "

I pulled away and look at him in gratefulness.

" Elena told me everything, but I already knew it, everytime I see you guys talking, you sounded already inlove with each other, " Emert chuckled.

" I'm sorry Emert. Im just afraid because i don't have any idea what would be your reaction, also mom and dad! Its.... Hard! " I run my hand through my hair.

Emert shook his head. " No Averi. " he held my hand and squeezed it. " Our parent loves you, no matter what and unconditionally. We will fight for you, "

And I'm excited to tell all of these to Emeri, atleast there's a one person who knows about us.

•••

I arrived to school before the bell rang, i almost over slept. I felt tired. Having these mixed emotions makes my body exhausted. Yet, im still happy. Knowingly that my twin brother didn't mind if im gay.

I hadn't a chance to text nor call Emeri last night after our Fairytale like date. And i was thinking that she was worried about me or something. I decided to look for her later. Ugh! I forgot we still hide our relationship. I sighed for a frustration.

It's break time and my friends went to the cafeteria. Jump packed of all students. I'm trying to find Emeri. I didn't seen her in the hallway where she was always standing with her followers.

To my lucky day, James approach our table and sit beside me. I looked at him with a confused look.

" What are you doing here? " I questioned him.

He pouted, well i didn't it funny or adorable. " I miss you babe "

" Oh please james! Spare me! " I rolled my eyes.

My friends who are sitting on our table are gigling.

" Babe. I want to ask you if you want to go with me on a homecoming next week? " I didn't say anything, I chewed my food instead.

" Please James. No! I'm sorry! " I refused politely i don't want to be rude. He grabbed my hands and kissed it. I feel my skin stunned by his rough wet lips. Gross!

And to my luck i saw Emeri who is now eyeing me with her fiercing blue eyes. All my powers to counter her gaze vanished in the air.

Oh god! GREAT!

Kill me now!

She was just walking towards their table and sat down gracefully. She didn't bother to looked at me, Thats make me feel sad.

" Please Averi. Be my date? " James begged. And im sure emeri heard us.

" I'm sorry James. No. " I pulled my hands away from him.

His face frowning " But why? Is there someone who already invited you? "

Well, I think that's a better idea. I nodded my head.

" Yes James! " I said flatly. I saw his face, sadness written all over his face. He stood up and walk away. I watch him with pity.

My phone Buzzed.

Emeri: " Nice Show! "

I frowned and look at emeri who is acting busy eating her apple. Eating her apple seductively. Oh my god!

Me: " I dont know what you're talking about "

Emeri: " Im just joking baby i love you ❤❤❤ "

I smiled like an i***t. I heard a chuckled. " You were smiling like an i***t Averi " Brittany said and eating her chicken sandwich.

I shrugged " Is that your date? " Britanny asked

I didn't know what to say. I dont want to lie to her, but at first i need to find an escort for a Homecoming. I chose to ignore her question and reply to emeri's text messege.

Me: " I love you baby. Can we meet later? I wanna be with you. And tell you something important! "

I looked at Emeri on the other side, her face was a little worried. I know she was thinking. I wanna laugh of her facial expression is priceless, seriously! She never showed any emotions when were at school but i know I'm one of the few people who can affect her. And I'm thankful that she trust me, showing her true self, being weak, sweet and vulnerable.
