Unwanted Love

CHAPTER NINE : I Love You

"Hey, calm down little princess, for how long have I been gone for you to forget me uh, 10 years, is it that long".

"10 years" she repeatedly chanted in her head before she frowned suddenly "litt.. princess, cute...cinder , Ian" he smiled widely taking his family aback who were noticing him.

"You are Ian"

"Finally, she remembers" he cried in a sacarstic tone before pulling her for a hug.

..........

Meanwhile, at the garden.

Sly is busy throwing everything he see, damaging them in anger. Harry tried to cool him down but to no avail

"Lil brother, calm down..will you?".

"I can't calm down... Didn't you see how happy she was with him, I'm so furious right now?"

"She got to see her childhood friend again, so honestly she would be happy. Don't forget that apart from you, the other person she loves so much is Ian?"

"Ian Ian Ian, Ian this , Ian that .... it's always about iAN. I hate it when you're all defending him, it hurts me" he yelled sitting on the grass.

"Since we were kids, he had always snatched everything away from me , My toys, My room, My bed, My friends, My family and then My Lily...she was mine until he came, now he is back again to take her away from me".

"Sly stop it!! she's nothing...forget her and move on, isn't Astrid your girlfriend now"

"I only started dating her to make lily jealous but she wasn't even a bit moved ...what to do brother, help please...I can't stay a day without her and here is Ian?".

"This boy" Harry thought and squatted down to console him but he was taken aback when he heard Sly's sobs.

"Sly".

"Big bro please help me, I don't want to lose her again..not again, he ditched her before and now" he weeped more.

"Hey, hey, you're a man...you can't cry over some girl who doesn't feel the same way for you" Harry crowed reasoning out to him.

"But I can't control the feelings I abhor for her.... everytime she's beside me I feel alive but when she's not....I feel empty. What if she decides to go back to him, I'll die if that happens?".

He cried holding Harry's left hand.

"There are so many fishes in the river, prettier than her... what's so special about her...... she is not so special like Dad said. Dad won't ever approve of your relationship with her. Besides she only sees you as a brother, nothing else"

"But I love her soooo much and when she's near me, I feel the urge to touch her, caress and feel her...what do I do when I'm madly and deeply in love with her?"

"What you feel isn't love Sly, it's 'Lust' and "Desire'?" Harry tried to reason out to him again.

"Noo...no, I don't feel.....I will never feel lust and desire towards her, she's special to me.... very, very special".

........

Flashback!!!

"Brother Ian wait for me" a little girl pouted her lips in annoyance.

"Come and catch me" the boy said.

"Brother Ian, I love you soooo much....much more than my Candies".

"I love you too little princess.... you're my best friend and will forever be".

Meanwhile, a little boy sulked under the tree listening to their declaration then she walked up to him.

"I love you too brother Sly, you're the best...Muah" she said as she pecked on his pouted lips making him smile broadly.

.........

Presently

Near the pool.

"Do you remember how we met again after I left?" Ian asked.

"No!".

She lied blushing

"Did you miss me ?"he asked but she denied shooking her head cutely while he smiled mischievously

"Do you remember when you first had your period" he asked grinning.

"What are you asking, so shameless?" She cried hitting his chest.

"Answer me do you?"

"No!" She screamed covering her face with her palms while Ian laughed his guys out.

" I'm just playing with you"

" I don't like your jokes...I have to find Sly" hearing Sly, Ian frowned a bit but later smiled back.

"Why go to him when I'm finally back since I'm your favourite brother?" He asked.

"And so, I also love him" Ian felt his blood boil in rage when he heard her words but shrugged off forcing a smile.

"Can you not mention his name when I'm with you, it hurts me...ouch?"he cried touching his chests while grinning.

"Whatever" she said annoyingly, about to leave but he held unto her wrist and dragged her to him while staring at her face.

"Please don't leave..I missed you...alot?" He pleaded.

"Erm can I ask a question?"

"Yeah anything for my Princess here"

"Gosh you're deadly frustrating, I'm practically the same age as you"

"But I'm still 8 month older alright, my Cinderella"

"Don't you call me that, it sucks?. Anyway, who's Gia?".

His face darkened when he heard her question.
