My brother

"Thank you for letting me compensate you. "

Martha was stunned hearing his words. She felt he was being a bit too emotional. She thought if she knew him before. She stayed silent and her breath was touching his nape. He suddenly felt a fasten pace in her breath. Martha held him even more tighter and moved her lips closer to his ears. The guy now felt her breath beneath his left ear, guessed she was going to give her voice.

"Why do I feel like I know you??"

Her words made him smile in pain. His black hair covered his glimmering eyes not letting her see through his hair. His breath was constant and he turned his head a little bit towards this girl.

"Do you think you know me??"

He whispered in a silent voice, to let his words reach her little ears. His breath was fastened too as he waited for her response. But when Martha heard him throwing a question again his voice seemed Martha relatable. She couldn't get the thought of her knowing him.

"I'm not sure. Your voice seems so relatable. I wonder if I know you."

He didn't want to make her more confused and then he spoke again.

"Don't worry, you'll know me soon." He grinned as he said his words.

"What's with that. So annoying."

"Haha. What!? Do you want to know me or something!?" He sounded like he was an excited kid waiting for his turn to play on Ferris wheel.

"In your dreams." Martha said it rigidly.

"As expected. You dislike me."

"That's your fault. You shouldn't have taken my ice from me."

"Oh come on. It's a silly matter, you know."

"And you sho..shouldn't have held my w...waist." She said as she stammered averting her gaze towards the sky.

"I did that to save you, Little Grape. And there's no need to...blush."

"Arghh!! You should've drag me holding my shoulder. You can, right?"

"Ah..I didn't get that in my mind. Okay I'll do it next time. But I must say this."

"Say what!?"

"Your waist is too little to hold, you know!??" He said it leaving a heavy laugh, that made her mad again. She begun to hit his head.

"You DUMBASS, Don't you dare talk about my body."

She had got down from his back and swaying her hands which were hitting his left shoulder and his head. He wasn't even moving back but covered himself with his hands.

"Ouch..ouch..Stop it, Little Grape. It hurts..Stop..ouch.."

"Come on, say it again!! say it!!"

"Stop it already..It really hurts, Little Grape."

When He said her punches hurt him. She halted for a moment. He then took a deep breath and felt inside , ' Huh!!! I'm free...'. Not even a minute passed after he felt free she started to poking his sensitive parts. His arm pits, Side hip and his nape.

When she started to tickel him he continued his words inside , 'NOT YET!!!!!'

"Hahahaha..... You're so cruel. Stop it..Hahaha!!!!!"

"Where is my 'Sorry'??"

"Sorry!! Sorry!! I said it!! Now let go....hahaha."

The instant he said sorry she stopped right the way. He was panting heavily placing his right hand on his left chest and his left hand on his side hip. His clothes went somewhat wet and he was craving for air.

"Little Grape, you are really cruel. How can you torture a man in such a terrible way." He said as he panted.

"Dare you talk about my body again." Martha pointed her forefinger on his face as if she was warning him.

While they were bickering, they heard another calm, deep toned voice in the middle of the way.

"Hey, Will you stop bickering and come quick??"

Martha turned her face left side towards the source of sound and she could see another silhouette from 10 steps ahead. She couldn't see his face neither he could. Martha narrowed her eyes to see his face but seems like it was of no use. She then turned to the guy infront of her. Looking at the silhouette his face turned dark but he was not serious.

"Hey, who's that?? Do you know him??" Martha asked him poking his limb.

The instant he heard her voice, he then turned his face towards the girl. He smiled and begun to speak as he ruffled her hair.

"Little Grape, We reached your home, you know!?"

Martha's eyes widened as he heard him and started looking left and right and she found that they were infront of her house. When she returned her gaze towards the silhouette she saw, she felt a breeze since that person was long left.

Following the line of her sight, the guy infront of her patted her head gently as he spoke.

"That's my brother. Don't worry, he is a human. He left after he called me. And don't worry again, you'll know everything. Now go in. Good night."

He said as he ruffled her hair again and he then left. She went inside after seeing his silhouette from far that he left.

She held her breath again as she climbed up through the pipes she climbed down hours ago. But to her surprise, her sister was standing at the veranda where she climbed in. Scarlett's glares were full of fire that she could burn her little sister but that's not gonna happen. Never. Martha freezed at the place she stepped down from the pipe as she was looking at her sister with her puppy eyes.

"Where were you till now??"
