CHAPTER 3

"Why don't you take after your generous brother? Why can't you just be like him."

"He is gay," I say, irritated by this promise. He drew me in closer by taking my hand in his.

"Do you like my gay brother Vee?" he mumbled in my ear, and I felt him kiss my shoulder.

"W-What the! Let me go!" but he was too strong for me, and he wrapped his two hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"You know I've liked you for a long time, you know that right, Vee?" He would have kissed me but someone had suddenly grabbed my arm and Belly had collapsed due to the force of Bellie's strike on her.

It threatened Belly and pushed me into her room, saying, "What the hell bro! Try to do it with Vee again and I'll really kill you!"

Belly screamed violently and knocked on your door, "What a f**king gay!"

"Shut up, I don't want you to get hit again!" he says as if he's a man.

There was a brief moment of silence in the room.

"Ouch! Oh my!" He murmured as we walked in, kissing and hugging his fist.

"It hurts, isn't it?" I ask, laughing.

"Awful sis! The thickness of my brother's face and his face is like steel, the f my fist hurt so much!" he grumbled, so I came over and held him.

"What are you doing here, Vee? You know my brother will go insane if he sees you!"

"Eh, we're going shopping, and we'd like to include you since you know we're not complete without you gurl." I perched on the edge of the bed. I looked around her room and saw nearly nothing except pink.

"Did my daddy agree? What did you say, we'll dine at the restaurant pfft." His father was aware of Bellie's sexual orientation, but he refused to accept it.

"As always, I know you don't have a job because it's Sunday."

"You are free at any time and day because you are unemployed," she said, making me scratch my head.

"When daddy stops running for congressman, I'll go to work then."

It's the language that makes my brow furrow. "Just leave it to your dad Vee."

"Leave him alone? What's wrong with him? He's the reason why I am like this! That I am living as hell!"

He laughed quietly, "Hurry up because they're already waiting outside, maybe Rhea has gone insane, go ahead."

He let out a gentle laugh.

We left their house and got in the car when he finished getting ready.

Elena gently tugged Bellie's hair, saying, "You're gay! How long have you been gay!"

"Of course! We've been expecting you for a long time."

"I'm sorry, guys," says the narrator.

"I'm still improving," it continues.

"Shut up! You might be deafening Keven-- I'm wondering whether you're resisting Jenna!"

"You're flirting again! It's fine if I flirt with you and then marry you if no one else can endure your chaotic behavior but us!"

They're back, and here I am.

I can tell they're talking to each other because of the way they stare at each other.

"Wow! I'm ashamed of being married, my god! No boyfriend since birth pfft..."

"What about you toying with toying but not having a boyfriend!"

"And at least there's flirtation, and at least there's an experience!"

"Ouch-ouch! I'm the one hurting you two!" I moaned as they started pulling hair inside the car. They put me in the middle.

"That's enough, you're no longer young for that stuff!" I await at them.

"Don't lose, you two are really very childish! We're all the same without wives because you're so picky when it comes to men... and of course I am too."

We all laughed and I noticed that Keven was shaken. When we arrived at the mall, I pulled them all away from Keven for a while.

"Like we used to do, help me get rid of that Keven."

Elena warned, "Don't send him away Vee, he's handsome."

Rhea threatened, "Hey Elena, that he's mine, don't steal him from me!"

With a smile, I questioned, "Do you want friendship to end?" They shook their heads.

They both promised, "Yes, go ahead."

We were all taken aback. "What are you talking about?"

We didn't respond to him; instead, we began walking around the mall. We came in with a variety of cosmetics.

My phone was empty when I unzipped my sling bag.

"Hey, besties!" I yelled to them, and they rushed up to me, Keven only staring at me from afar. He's been around for a long, and he keeps his gaze fixed on me.

"Hmm?"

"Oh, why?" you might wonder.

"What?"

"Ohh?

"Vee?

"Did you bring any cash with you?" They were struck across the face and told, "I forgot my wallet."

"I didn't bring any money because I thought you're going to pay for me."

Jenna committed to signing the peace treaty at the same time.

"I have money, but I'm not going to give some," Rhea said as she rubbed our shoulders.

Wendy insisted, "It's like saving money but there's more shopping."

We both grinned as we gazed at Bellie at the same time.

"Don't look at me, just like Vee, I forgot my wallet at home." We all scratched our heads.

Something came to mind unexpectedly. "Okay, then let's do it again.

They all concur, "All right, old work!" We set up shop first and took a look around.

I looked about at the CCTV cameras and noticed that people were busily shopping and picking and choosing what they wanted.

I simply took two lipsticks and other cosmetics from my sling bag. They also put it in a bra or a pair of shoes.

"What are you doing, Ms. Vee?" My eyes opened as I spotted Keven standing by my side.

"Why did you take h-hmm!" I exclaimed, covering his mouth with my hand.
