Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 32: His
LIAM“Bullshit!” Daniel jumped on his feet, getting to his brother's face. For a second, I feared fists might start flying. “So now I am to blame,” he whispered with so much pain I wanted to kill someone. The whole room went silent, each with their thoughts.From where I stood, Daniel's mother is to blame. She cast this enormous barrier among her son's without even knowing it. Kevin has lived with not only the guilt of her death, but the burden of being hated by his younger brother. “It's not your fault, Danny. It has never been. As your elder brother, I failed you.” All the anger escaped Daniel. He exhaled, running in his finger through his short hair. “Is that why you became a priest?” Daniel asked curiously, “you were never a religious person.” Daniel cited the fact that his brother was a reputed surgeon, but bailed their mother's fiasco. “I figured if I do his work, I might get some long-overdue peace of mind.” Kevin replied, glancing at the sky, helplessly fighting back tear

DANIELDinner with Liam's dad and family was a thrilling experience. A good distraction that came in hardy.I had a ton of unavoidable thoughts flooding, and it was nice to be around different people.I got to meet his cousin, Alexander, under better circumstances. But the guy still has some reservations about me, unlike his adorable boyfriend, Christian.By the time we got back home, Liam didn't need prompting as he disappeared in the bathroom to prepare himself, I suppose. Before he left, he has some orders to dish out.“Wait for me in the balcony, preferably naked.”“Balcony?” I asked, surprised considering how chilly it was. “ Yeah, it's my favorite spot in your house.” He shrugged, “and it's also the only place we haven't had sex yet.”“It's chilly, baby. “ I reasoned.“ With what I have in mind, you will be hot in no time.”When he reappeared, I was sitting naked on the bed. It had begun drizzling, and I hate cold. “Balcony is out of the question today.” I disappointed, “Can w

LIAMI balanced the tray with one hand and used the other to open the door. Daniel was still buried deep under the duvet, snoring softly. I placed the tray by the bedside table and climbed in bed and patted him softly. He groaned when I uncovered his head, “wake up, sleepy head.” I murmured, placing a simple kiss on his lips. Sleepy eyes landed on me and widened when he realized I was fully clothed. “What time is it?”“ Half-past one,”“What? How? I never sleep in this late.” He threw the duvet aside and leaned on the headboard.I found myself taking my favorite position on his lap and his hands automatically wrapped around my waist. I plopped my head on his shoulder and inhaled deeply. “ Mmh…” I moaned, rubbing my nose on his shoulder blade. “There is no way, you weren't made for me" “I am yours,” he rasped, pulling back to kiss my lips. “And you are mine, forever, if that's what you want too.”“Forever sounds just right!” “ With you, I won't settle for less,” Daniel confessed,

Two years later…DANIEL POV“ Everything looks good, baby,” I murmured, wrapping my hands around his waist and pulled him back against my chest. “Urgh, you have ruined my plating,” he grumbled, making me chuckle lightly. I tightened my hold on him, and stared at the counter. The various dishes he had managed to cook looked absolutely flavorful and tasted just as much. Trust me, I was the taster.“ I still can't believe we are doing this,” I referred to his birthday party which we were hosting and invited his family, mine, and our friends. “ Help me put them on the table. “ My boy retorted, instead wiggling against my hold. “ Daniel!” He growled after an unsuccessful attempt to pry from my hold.“ Shhh…" I hushed, kissing his neck. I then stepped aside, picked two dishes, and proceeded to the balcony where we had set the table and the grills. It took us twelve trips, to set everything, with Liam barking instructions which I followed to the letter. He was excited about it and I trie

I do suggest you read (His Maid's Son) first.LIAMThe courtroom began to spin. I felt like the walls were closing in on me. A dreadful feeling I couldn't shake had my palms sweating as I struggled to calm my raising heart. I shifted uneasily.Sitting silently next to my attorney, and watching my life fall apart, had a bitter taste to it. And I could do nothing about it. I turned my head and scanned the grim faces in the courtroom. Though it hurt seeing my father and cousin looking all scared for me, the sadness in the victim's family tore my heart apart. How did I become that person? I used to think I was raised better. Never had I imagined I would hurt anyone, let alone become a convicted criminal.I can try to argue that I am not the one who did the stabbing, but deep down I know I made a mistake. And a life was taken. There is no way I was going to escape prison, not after the murder weapon was found in my possession.According to the law, that was evidence enough to put me behi

DANIELI was busy sorting out parole papers in my office, when Gianna, my close friend and colleague, informed me of the new inmates' arrival. I released a helpless sigh, knowing all too well what was expected of me. I had to give some bullshit speech, that I had recited over and over to be every new batch that gets through the door. Though I knew no one paid attention, It was a standard procedure for the warden to brief new inmates on the dos and don'ts. The fact that we deal with numerous cases of the said don'ts proves it's a time-wasting affair. With no motivation whatsoever, I took long, quick strides towards the welcoming hall. I was in the middle of my speech when I felt eyes on me. I glanced around, and my gaze fell on a slender blonde boy who looked truly scared. He had beautiful golden-brown eyes and I couldn't look away!The sorrowful orbs drew me in, and I was unable to understand why. The boy fidgeted but held my gaze nonetheless. He tilted his head quizzically, and I a

LIAM I don't know if what transpired was a miracle, or the stars were aligning to my favor, but I got lucky to be transferred to a different cell. A lady guard, who introduced herself as Gianna, informed me of the transfer. The relieved sigh that I let out had her chuckling knowingly. I hoped the next cellmates wouldn't be as steely as the ones I had just encountered. The thirty minutes I had spent with them felt like an eternity.Within that short time, they had discussed a schedule on who will have me, when and why. It was scary to watch them negotiate over me, but I think the most disturbing part was the fact that I had no way of protecting myself. I hadn't even tried to fight them off when one smacked my ass, 'cause there was no chance of me winning a physical fight. Luckily, the next block had approachable inmates. At least they weren't eye raping me with every step I took.Gianna put me with an older guy, who was sleeping by the time I got in. From the state of his body, I

DANIEL I rubbed my tense fingers and eyed the ton of paperwork laying on my desk. I have been working on the parole forms since morning, and I still have a sizable amount pending. After my earlier confrontation with Kane, I have seen the fellow roaming around hallways just putting on an act for me. More than ever, I am determined to unmask him. I talked out my plan with Gianna and as always, she was willing and ready to help. She has proven to be hardworking, dedicated, and loyal to me for the eight years I have known her. We do fight sometimes, a boss-friend relationship can be tricky, but we always stick with each other. I would have made her my supervisor, but Kane had far more qualifications and experience which was hard to overlook. I am certain that once we are done unmasking him, the position will hopefully be filled by Gianna. Glancing at my watch, I realize it's almost five pm, which means the inmates would be getting ready for dinner. It's usually served between half-p

Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 31: Confessions
DANIELIt's hard to anticipate the outcome of this journey, and that unravels me. Deep in my gut, I know I won't like what I will find, and I guess that's why I let Liam tug along. I may not tell him, but having him here is giving me strength. To deal with whatever goes down between Kevin and me.Nineteen hours later, we are both staring at the sign post. A hundred meters ahead, it read. I hadn't realized my hands were shaking until Liam placed his on top and gave me an encouraging smile.“I know I'm no prize,” he began, staring up at me. “And I am confusing most of the time and I will probably annoy you to death, but I am here, for a lifetime, if you want me.”His words brought forth this warmth in my heart and I didn't feel so nervous anymore. I leaned in and kissed his cheek before we stepped out of the car, and continued by foot. Liam just followed quietly, giving me time to gather my thoughts, as we made our way to the parish office.From the postcard I had got from Kevin last
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 30: Surprise
LIAMShowing up at Daniel's door had seemed like a good plan initially, but I am not so sure anymore.My uncertainty had only grown as I got closer. As I knocked on his door, I contemplated turning back. I didn't know, how, or even where to begin. He might not take me back, which is scary, but maybe he might. It's a damn shame I can't predict the outcome.He seemed stunned seeing me on his doorstep when he opened the door. He does look as if he had lost weight, I thought, recalling something Gianna had said earlier.“What are you doing here?”“Can I come in, please?” I whispered.He stepped aside and locked the door after him. I looked around the living room, awkwardly wondering which word to utter first. “Don't you think we deserve another shot?” I asked. “I am sorry, but I can't talk today. I was just about to shower and head out.” He blurted.“Oh, that's fine, I can wait until you get back, or I could visit dad and come back tomorrow.” I offered. He didn't reply instantly. He
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 29: Decision
If I thought breaking up with Liam was hard, I hadn't experienced losing a job too.When I got back to town, I found out that I had been summoned by my boss urgently. I wasn't as careful as I had thought. Somehow, they had found out about us; me and Liam. I could have tried denying it, but then I was never a good liar. I had to give a resignation letter.Luckily, if I can call it that under the circumstances, it didn't get scandalous. My superiors were sad to let me go, but they couldn't have done anything about it. One thing I can't seem to understand though is how, or who, else knew about us. Apart from Gianna and Chris from my side, no one else had even the slightest clue as far as I am concerned. And I trust them with my life.That leaves Liam and his family. Those are the other people who have an insight into our relationship. I am tempted to call him and ask if he has anything to do with my job loss, but that would be insulting. I know he wouldn't do such a thing. Twenty-fo
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 28: Break Up
LIAMThroughout the drive, no words were uttered between us. It pained me to see how bad things had gotten.To be quite fair, I am mostly to blame. I kept my gaze on the street as he glared straight ahead. I am sure the cab driver caught onto the tension.No one seemed to be in a hurry to say anything, especially me. I feared the talk because I didn't know if I was ready to admit to my insecurities. When he got to his hotel, he swiped his key card and held the door for me like the gentleman he is. I looked around the room and I noticed his duffle bag on the couch. Means he hasn't unpacked yet, which means he won't be staying long. I turned to face him, and he was there holding two glasses of water. I gulped mine as dread kicked in. I had barely put down the glass when he spoke up, “Why?” The pain behind his words tore through my heart. For a moment, I wished I could rewind time and talk to him sooner.Maybe I could have saved both of us unnecessary hurt, but I didn't. So now I hav
Brown-Eyed Boy (Bk2) 27: Hurt
Eight months later…DANIELI wasn't a happy man, anymore. I was jealous, insecure, and I hated it. Despite it all, I am happy for Liam. I wanted this for him. He is out there enjoying his freedom and his youth. 'He is still young; he needs this, it's a hard truth I have to keep hammering in my mind daily.Having him so far away is not sitting well with me.As much as I was in for a full university adventure, I didn't sign up for unanswered texts and missed calls in the name of hanging out with friends. I could feel the growing distance between us, which had me questioning everything I thought I knew. Is what we had, anything to go by? Maybe I was the only decent option he had back in prison. But now out there, I am sure better opportunities are at his turn. After all, he is the son of one of the most prominent men in the country. Did I blame him? No, I knew he was just being himself. The him I didn't get to know due to the confinement. This is a landmine I don't how to tread on.I
