Chapter 5: Punishing Lips.

Caled has never been the kind type of guy in our school before. Despite being silent, he was the ruthless among them. If I wasn’t able to plead mercy towards Spencer, on Caled, I was able, only in another condition. 

“W-what are you doing here?” I asked, stuttering.

Looking into his dark blue eyes, I was completely dazed. My fear towards him is more dominant than the other two brothers because of an unknown reason. Maybe because he was taller and leaner. And the way his sharp jaw clenched as he opened the door widely to enter my room, my legs wobble.

He sniffles the scent inside of my bedroom before he closes the door behind him and fully claims my eyes on him.

“This room comes to life just right after you occupy this,” he smirked. Leaning towards me as I tried to step back. And right when the back of my knees touched the edge of the bed, I fell. 

Now he was towering towards me while I looked up at his height.

“W-what the heck are you doing here?” Another stutter came out of my mouth.

My whole body trembled in nervousness when he dropped down to his knees to face me. Swallowing the lump on my throat, I tried to put my balance beside the bed by clenching on the bed sheet. My heart was thumping so much that it could come out of my ribcage. I couldn't believe that after four long years, I am staring at the same dark blue eyes again! Those eyes that are full of pride and power.

“I am here to apologize, Ginny,” he muttered.

I was taken aback by his raspy but soothing voice, far from the commanding tone of Caled that he was known for.

“I… do you think I would believe that you’re apologizing to me, Caled?” I glared at him. “If you think that I am still the same weak innocent young girl you bullied before, then no, you’re thinking wrong.”

“I know, Ginny…” He bit his pink thin lips which made him look sexier… Those same lips that used to punish me everytime that I refuse to do what he wants… but heck! Why would I think of that right now?! “And I’m really sorry for my immaturities. Now that we’re family, I want us to get along with our parents.”

I pressed my lips and with all my strength, with one swift push using my hands to his chest, he moved away.

“Don't force me to forget everything that happened in the past. You didn't know how traumatizing it was to me!” she yelled. “Leave, before I call your Dad and tell him the truth!”

Glaring at him, I stood up and pushed him again even though his chest was like steel. I couldn't even move even an inch!

“I know it’s hard to forgive and forget, Ginny. But I still hope you reconsider it because we are family now.”

With that, he initially left my bedroom. As he closed the door, I took in a sharp breath and closed my eyes tightly. I can feel my heart pounding so fast like crazy! Why do it have to be them of all people in the world? It is a damn too crazy world!

I made sure that my door was locked before I slipped in with my PJs and covered myself with the blanket on my bed… I thought it would be a peaceful night however, I couldn't help myself but reminisce those days that Caled used to bully me.

Flashback:

“What did you do?” His voice full of authority made my body shiver in fear.

I was looking deeply into his dark blue eyes. I was trying to get off from our staring battle but it seemed like he locked our eyes and didn't want to let it go.

“I… didn't do anything wrong!” I stutter, trying to step back to get away from him. 

But the moment he took my arm and pulled me against his rock hard body, I stiffened. His touch blurrer my vision, I couldn't think straight. I feel like I’m drunk by his piercing eyes.

“I told you to make my essay sound like me!” he growled, pushing me on the locker. 

My back hit the metal locker, it clanged and I shrieked in shock! I was shivering and very nervous. I did my best with his essay, so I didn't know why he was acting like this?!

“Don’t act like you didn’t know! I told you to read my other pieces before and apply it to my current essays!” He shouted and pressed me against the locker. Now my back started to hurt so bad!

Caled is a good writer, the truth was, he was so good to the point that I couldn’t imitate his writing style and voice! I am just average when it comes to writing!

“I can’t do that, Caled. It's your voice, not mine. Please, let me go! It hurts!”

“You never stop making excuses, hmm?” He furrowed and hissed on me. “You know that I’ll punish you each time you make mistakes. I guess you’re loving making mistakes, Ginny…”

“Please… Caled, don’t do this! I really had a hard time trying to imitate your writing. And the teachers didn't catch you, right? T-then that’s fine!” I cried.

However, he didn’t listen to me. He leaned closer, towering over me until his nose touched the bridge of mine. God knows how much my lips are trembling in fear of what he might do to me. We are alone here in the men’s locker room because everyone is in the class.

His body pressed against mine and right before I could think of an excuse, he claimed my lips. I closed my eyes tightly as I tried to push him away but his lips roughly kissed me. 

“Mmm…” a muffled moan escaped my lips as he continued kissing me. 

Then he bit my lower lip, I tasted the metallic taste of blood in my mouth and I cried more.

That’s when he moved away. His eyes were lustful when he looked into mine. 

“Next time do your job properly or you’ll receive more than that,” he sneered.

Blood trickled down my lips and I tried to wipe it off. He let me go but the taste of her mouth still haunts me…

I quickly got up from the bed when I heard someone knocking on the door. I was sweating from that nightmare. I caught my chest, it was still pounding so hard.

“Ginny?” A muffled voice from outside of my bedroom called.

And even if it’s muffled, I know who it is… why do they keep on bothering me?
