Yours Sincerely

CHAPTER 11: THE SASSY PANTS...

ADAM’S POV:

I looked at the beautiful Angel beside me and smiled lightly. She really can make anyone fall in love with her.

Her way to make things right. To tackle the situation and make people feel happy are so different that it always makes me feel special that I have such pure happiness in my arms.

She never does any makeup though she uses natural things like fruits and waters to make her skin even more gorgeous than makeup.

She never uses any straightener or anything like that for her hair but her hair is yet so beautiful. She says she is never going to use any chemicals on her skin or hair. And the way she says that always makes me laugh at the pouting cute face.

She is a beauty Queen.

I sighed and turned to the bedside table on my side. It was already 9:00 in the morning and yet we slept in cause it’s weekend. It was something we did for the last few weeks now. But last night made me realise how much she means to me. How much effect she has over me.

Just her few words calmed me down. When I felt I was worthless, she made me realise how wrong I was. Now that I’m calmer than yesterday, I can finally see what Abel and Mom went through all these years. How can I be so selfish to think only about me and forget that mom left the love of her life and her other son behind to make sure we are safe.

After we came to Sapphire’s room I threw a hell of a tantrum, like a three-year-old spoiled brat. But Sapphire sat there and listened and bared all the stupid stuff I said and yelled. To say I’m disappointed with myself would be an understatement.

“You are a human being love... You are allowed to show emotions." I heard her sleepy voice and she warped her arms around my stomach making me lay on my back as she rested her head over my chest.

"Why didn't mom took me instead of Abel?" I asked quietly and warped my arms around her shoulder pulling her in. I signed as I know the answers yet I want to hear them out loud. Maybe just to satisfy me.

"Max heard the conversation. You were so far from the truth, love. And Abel was so scared he just wanted to make sure no one dies around him, despite being 10 years old. He was a sassy pant all his life." We chuckled and stayed in the bed.

I don't know how long we were just laying there but the intercom made us a little less comfortable as I moved from her to the phone.

"Hello?" I answered and rubbed my face with my other hand.

"Good morning Mr Black. Max Falls is here to meet Miss. Steel." I heard Mrs Paul say. I looked back at Angel and knew she wouldn't open her eyes till I and my brother are on talking terms. The stubborn smirk on her face made me sign and turn back at the phone.

"I'll be down in a minute, Mrs Paul. Thank you." She replied with an okay and I moved out of bed. Taking my t-shirt from the headrest of the bed I moved to the bathroom.

Quickly doing my morning routine and taking a fast shower. I wore an I was ready to leave the room when I heard my dear Angel speak.

"Be polite and respectful." I walked up to her and bent over to kiss her hair as she was facing the other way.

"I'll... Try?" I whispered the last word and heard her sign behind me as I left the room. Walking down the stairs, I was Lucas with a bored look on his face.

"Good morning Mr Black. Mr Falls is in the dining room, having breakfast." He greeted me and I did the same before going to the dining room. Somehow, just like Angel, I couldn't get myself to trust that manfully. No doubt he was made the security chief of Sapphire by Godfather but still, it is just an annoying knot in my stomach. Maybe I'm just being the over-possessive boyfriend and that's it... 

I shrugged and saw my brother eating the pancakes with the fresh juice. One more thing I admire about Sapphire. No matters how late, tired or angry and frustrated you are, you have to eat three meals a day. Well, unless you are sick.

“Good morning, brother,” Abel said as soon as he saw me entering the room. I still can’t believe m ok mom and My little brother is alive. No matter how much I feel angry and disappointed by the fact, I’m still glad to see how wrong I’m.

“Good morning, Abel. How are you?” I sat on the chair opposite him and Mrs Paul set my breakfast.

“Not working Adam. We need to be more close to not get killed by My dear best friend.” I nodded and smiled genuinely. Somehow I feel content to know that my brother and sweetheart can understand each other as a brother and sister should.

“I know. But I’m still trying not to punch your handsome face and then get punched by my girlfriend. I have no such desire.” We chuckled and continued to eat. Getting known to my brother and eating waffles with fresh juice, I realised how much I loved this.

“What are going to do after school?” We sat on the couch with a cup of coffee.

“I’m going to start a little business. Something like a security agency. But I’m looking for some funds. I’m looking for good people who are reliable sources for the job.” I kept my coffee cup on the table and turned fully towards him.

“Why don’t you join me. We can run the company side by side as dad always wanted.” I said hoping that he would come to meet dad.

“I can’t brother. You know everything will get into a fuzz if we spend too much time.” Nodding in agreement We signed and sat in silence. Drinking steaming coffee. I looked at the door behind us and smirked.

“Well you join us now or we have to cuddle and watch the notebook together?” Abel chocked on his coffee and looked behind us. He shook his head and sat back and I felt Angel coming to sit beside me on the soft hand rest of the sofa.

“I was going to enter.” We heard her mumbled.

“You could’ve entered the breakfast, Angel,” I said the fact and Abel looked like a panda who is in shock.

“I just wanted to make sure you both don’t paint each other’s eyes.” We all chuckled and spent our morning talking and laughing at the events we missed out on since we were kids.

“This is so not fair! I wanted to meet your brother and you said you’ll pick me up before you leave but as always you left me standing on the road, waiting for you. You could’ve told me that you are not coming to pick me up. I wouldn’t have waited for three hours just to meet my boyfriend’s brother and best friend’s boyfriend!!” A beautiful girl screamed from the entrance to Abel’s face. Well, it seems my brother is going to have an earful. The girl standing in front of us looked no less than a model but her grey eyes had a sparkle of warmth too.

“I... I was in a rush and nervous about the situation, baby.” I looked at my shattering brother with surprise. Hearing a giggle beside me I looked at the admiring face Angel who was looking at the pair.

Seems like my brother has his match too...

After a few minutes of sorries and sweet words, I finally got to know that the girl’s actual name was Bella and not baby. We got introduced and I was right to guess that Abel and Bella are a couple. A cute one if you ask me.

We talked with each other and had our lunch in the living room. It was a very beautiful day... well that was until the intercom rang.
