Chapter 108 - Question and Answer

Jay-jay's POV

"Question #1!" He said and looked at me. "...Where is your Mom?"

I don't want to answer but I don't want to drink either.

"She's with her new husband."

He had no reaction or expression to my answer.

"Your turn." He said again.

I have many questions for him, I just don't know which one to prioritize.

"Is there still a chance you and Aries can get along?"

He didn't answer. He immediately took the glass and drank.

"My turn..." He said. "...Is there still a chance you and Aries can get along?" He asked me back the same question.

Is there any?

I don't know the answer and it's also unfair to me if I answer the same question I threw at him.

I took the glass and sipped it.

Mud!

The sore throat!

Drawing up to the chest. What kind of wine is that?

"Me..." I said. "...The story behind you earring?"

He touched his earring for a moment before answering.

"It belonged to my Mom."

I would like to ask more but he should go first.

"I remember the incident with Ram. How is that happen?" He asked.

I don't want to answer that question.

I didn't answer that's why I drained the glass and poured the contents.

"When did you wear those earrings?" I asked.

"When we thought Percy died. I have no one to comfort me. So I went to her room and I saw these earrings. I felt like I was with her when I took it. So I choose to wear it." He explained it.

You feel pain but happiness at the same time. He is like that, it hurts to talk about his Mom but at the same time he is happy.

"You... What's with your father?" He asked.

"I-I never met him... I only saw him in my picture. They just said Grandma, Mama was mad at Papa so she kept me away. After that, I didn't know anything about him. Until we saw him yesterday." I answered and forced a smile.

He answered my question about his mother, what if I answer about my father.

"Where is the pair of earrings?"

He looked into the distance and seemed to be thinking. I feel like he lost it but he said that to his Mom so that means it's important to him.

"I gave it to the wrong person."

Who, Ella?

I want to ask that. But he doesn't want to talk about Ella anymore. Her name is like a trigger and one becomes a monster in anger.

"You... What is the real reason for your fight with Aries?" He asked.

I looked at the glass of wine. I don't want to drink. My throat hurts a lot but I don't know how to answer his question.

I was forced to take the glass and drink the contents.

Sergeant! Pain!

"As for you... Who did you give that pair of earrings?"

He didn't answer. He just drank. I feel like Ella is the one who gave it to her.

Good....

"What happens to that Cyrus guy?" He picked the silly question.

Why did Cyrus enter the conversation? I don't want! And I don't know either. Even though I feel like I'm hit with alcohol. I still drank just to avoid his question.

As much as I want to ask, I can't remember what it is.

"How did you meet Aries, Yuri and Percy?"

"Fist... I fought with Yuri, I was disgusted by his face. Then Percy came to rescue him. Aries was just walking around and then Percy punched us. We were both picked up by the guidance." His story. 😂

I want to laugh at what he said. It's fun seeing them. And from the fight, their friendship was formed.

"Has Cyrus been a good boyfriend to you?" He asked.

I bowed down. I don't want to discredit Cyrus. But because...

"N-at first, yes... But after a while, not anymore. He's also hot-headed, crooked and spoiled."

I looked at him directly and seriously. I can't read if he's angry or what.

"As for you... Uhmmm..." I thought for a moment. "...Who is your first girlfriend?"

Wit! Why did I ask that?

"It was Freya." He answered quickly. 😂

My eyes widened at what he said. Freya? How is Freya Hidalgo?

Son of...

"Are you serious?" I asked in disbelief.

"Hey... One question at a time." He said. "It's my turn, is Cyrus the only one who's been your boyfriend?"

I shook my head. "I had a first boyfie but he's gay now."

I saw him smile but he immediately took it back.

"It's me... Why Freya?"

"What do you mean 'why Freya'? I must have liked her."

"Well... I just can't believe that you liked her."

"It doesn't look like that yet."

Huh?!

"It's my turn to ask again... Is David really your type?"

I suddenly laughed at his question. He also believed that David was really my type.

"N-no... Hahaha... I just can't tell you anything." I answered

"You lied to Ci-N."

"It's like that... It's me again. Who do you like now?" I asked him.

He looked away and immediately took the glass to drink the contents.

One!

"You.. who do you like now?" He asked me back. The same question again!

Why should I say? He was deceitful, so I took the glass and was about to drink but he grabbed my arm.

"Answer it." He ordered me.

"I don't want..." I said and immediately withdrew my arm to drink the contents of the glass.

Argh! I can't seem to do it anymore.

"Tss..."

I can't do anything. I'm as cunning as the King of snakes. Why do my eyes seem to be spinning?

I will be the one to ask.

"Do you still love Ella?" I asked directly.

Yes!

I lost the filter in my mouth and that question came out on its own.

Keifer quickly took the glass but I moved faster. I grabbed the glass from him and looked at him.

"I don't want to answer." He said.

He stared at me for a long time. It was as if he was telling me not to ask any more questions about Ella.

Suddenly he looked in another direction. It's like something pierced my heart. I slowly lowered the glass in front of him.

He took it and drank it.

"One last question..." He said to me but he didn't seem to want this game. "...Do you like Yuri?"

What is it?

It's Yuri now. That was Cyrus. Keifer must be drunk.

"I don't know..." I didn't feel like answering. "...Yes, maybe. Because Yuri is kind to me. Then study hard. Right?"

"How about me, do you like me?" Why this question.

Huh? Shouldn't I be the one to ask? Is it me? I can't remember anymore. I'm dizzy.

"I don't know... I'm annoyed with you. I don't understand you. It's like you have a stick or something, the strength of your foot." I told him.

He laughed a little. It was as if he was still happy with my comment even though it was actually supposed to be an insult.

He's crazy!

"It's like that. You're laughing at my insult to you. You're really good. The crooks will inherit from you. You're really their King. KING OF THE SPIRITS!"

"Excuse me? Did you just call me King of Serpents?" He asked with a mixture of annoyance.

Did I say that?!

"Uhmmm..."

I can't think of an excuse. Maybe this idiot will get mad at me again. My head still hurts.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Keifer's POV

I can't believe this girl. She just called me, king of snakes. And I don't even know what else does she call me.

I'm still staring at her when she suddenly held her head and laid down on the sofa.

"I have a headache... I'm dizzy. The alcohol has hit me." She said.

Obviously!

Why are they so quickly affected by alcohol? Am I the only one who has high tolerance with alcohol?

I approached her to take a closer look. I was just holding her hand when I noticed that she had closed her eyes.

Did she fall asleep?

I shake her a bit, but she's not moving. I chuckled from what happened. That's why the girl is quickly destroyed. The speed to be knocked out of the wine.

I carried her like bridal style. ❤️

Oh crap!

She seems to be getting heavier. I breathe heavily before walking out. I just go straight until I reach the stare case.

What the...

I think I need to renovate our house and add an elevator or escalator. It seems like I've only just realized the size and number of steps of our stairs.

I'm having a hard time here with what I'm carrying. I put her down a little and moved her position. I carried her like a sack of rice. Now it is better! 😄

I went up the stairs. I brought her to the same room I brought her before. It's just in front of my room.

When I got her off the bed, I immediately adjusted her position. I also covered her with a pillow and smothered her like before. ❤️

After covering her with a blanket, I sit beside her. I can't help staring at her innocent face.

Do you still love Ella?

I kept asking myself the same question. Yes, that is my answer from the start, but while I'm staring at Jay-jay, I ask the same question. I'm starting to get confuse.

What is going on with me?

"So it's true..." Someone speaks from the door.

I looked at her for a moment before standing up and approaching his place.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

Nothing... I just want to confirm if you have a guest." Keigan said and smiled.

His top is running again. There is something different about his smile. I know he is not in his usual self.

"You saw her. You can go now." I ordered him.

He chuckled. "Why in a hurry big bro? Are you planning to do something to her?"

I immediately grabbed his collar and stared down at him. I don't like Keigan's behavior when he is like this.

"Easy.." he said while raising his hand like surrendering.

I can sense his fear. I always do with many people. Expect for one, he's the only one who knows how to handle my anger.

"Ella..." Keigan said. "...I saw her with your former best friend, Aries."

I let go of him, "I don't care."

"Yeah... Like what you've always said." He's teasing me.

If Keigan wasn't my brother, I probably would have paralyzed him. I don't know what's going on in his brain right now and he's so happy to annoy me again.

I looked at Jay-jay who was fast asleep before I closed the door. I have a lot of things to do. I don't want to leave her but I need to.

I looked at Keigan seriously. "Make no mistake." I threatened him.

He raised his hand again and smiled. Not that I don't trust my brother but I need to be sure.
