[75] My Brother's Going To Get A Robot Leg
Last Updated:
2021-01-25 03:44:49Ash’s leg was so infected the doctor told us we might have to have it amputated.
Markus had been kind enough to bring us to an actual doctor and not just some quack he found online who offered services for free. This was an actual doctor from an actual hospital. Still, Markus being Markus, the doctor was an old family friend and often gave them free consultations.
Ash told us that he got wounded after falling off a tree. I was just about to ask him why he was stupid enough to go climb a tree when Red grabbed my hand, stopping me from doing so. With a shake of his head, he dragged me out of the hospital room and talked to me in the hallway.
“It was a dare,” He said.
“He’s about to lose his leg ov

Markus tapped my knee while we were in the waiting area of the OB-GYN.“Nervous?” He asked, “I am too.”Shaking my head, I sink back into my chair. “No. I’m just worried about Ash.”We were seated in a waiting area that only had an aquarium as a source of entertainment. All around us were couples who lovingly held one another as they waited for their names to be called by the staff to be checked by the obstetrician-gynecologist. Honestly, it made me awkward that we were the only people who weren’t clinging to one another.Even the magazines didn’t intere

“Holy shit, that’s cold!” The doctor rubs the cool gel on my belly, and it was enough to make me squirm. Markus was sitting next to me, looking so out of place. He pursed his lips, his legs crossed, his head down while he’s looking down on his phone again. The doctor giggles at me, “The gel’s supposed to help us see your baby better.”

Markus was lifting the sonogram above his head, a huge smile on his face.“You should hide that,” I say, jabbing him in his side. He clicks his tongue, stepping away from me, still the sonogram above his head. “My brother’s about to meet us any minute. You wouldn’t want them to see that, would you?”

“And so, imagine my surprise when I found out that he was actually the dean’s son!” Hazel said, waving her arms in the air dramatically. She always does this whenever she’s talking and wants all of us to listen. “No wonder he got the first place in that science competition, even though he didn’t deserve it.”Clementine snorted.And that made me pinch the bridge of my nose. That was usually how it started with the twins. One would talk about how her day or life had been recently, and the other would obviously mess it up or joke about it. The unmistakable reddening of Hazel’s face was a clear indication that she was just about ready to jump up from the table to strangle her twin.“No,” I didn’t hesitate to point at the both of them, ma

My sisters and I cried that night.It was after dinner. We were all getting ready to sleep. I was fixing the plates, but Markus placed his hands on his hips, shaking his head at me. Chuckling, I let him do the dishes because he tells me I already did the cooking. Red quickly ran towards our room carrying Ash, Gray, Blue, and Jade, hiding from us and hiding from the chores. He really ate and dash.Olive and Scarlett, plus the twins, offered to help, but Markus said that his mother would slap him if she found out that he let a guest clean up. He told me he would be talking to them about the current arrangement after everything had been settled. I knew he was doing that because of his parents, who are exactly like him, would find out just how much money we spent the past few days, with the car gas, rentals, and other checkups, they would freak out.

Professor Aschwa was discussing something about corporate taxes when I felt my stomach rumble.Rumble was an understatement. I was seated on my bed, leaning against my headboard. The sound was loud enough that Gray, who was currently pressing his face against Mexi’s aquarium, turned around to look at me, a teasing glint in his eyes. Already bracing myself for the things he would say, I raise my arm up and point at him, narrowing my eyes as much as I could, “Don’t you dare.”Gray dared, “Aww, is the pig hungry?”Rolling my eyes, I place my hand on my belly again, “Can you check the stockpile room if I still have some Todas?”“You’re still eating those?&rd

I had made a terrible, terrible mistake.“Go on, tell Nana what you want,” Maria said, as she was holding Jade’s hand. “Look at those shoes, it’s pretty, isn’t it? Do you want three of them?”Jade smiled, “Five of them, Nana!”“Delightful!” Maria tapped a sale’s lady on the shoulder, “Give me five, different colors.”Slapping my forehead, I watched as Maria walked along the kid’s shoe section with Jade. Meanwhile, Maverick was walking with Gray and Blue beside him, Ash carried and perched on his hips. Markus was walking beside me, pushing a shopping cart. A shopping cart that was already filled with tons of toys, books, clothes, and shoes.

Taking a deep breath, I smile patiently at the laptop.“Thomas,” I say, the smile slowly turning into a frustrated tight-lipped purse of lips, “Didn’t we discuss this a few days ago already? I told you you’re supposed to treat the missing number as the letter x. Remember the formula? Do you, Thomas?”Thomas cleared his throat from the other end of the screen, scratching his cheeks.“Yeah,” Thomas mumbles softly, “But I keep forgetting. It’s different when you teach online instead of having you here. I’m just not used to this kind of teaching, I guess.”Shaking my head, I rubbed my temples. I wanted to tell Thomas that regardless of whether I was teaching him through the laptop or in

The Disreputable Love Transaction [EXTRA] The Wedding
My mother named me after a color I didn’t even like.I would have preferred it if she had named me Green. Green is a nice name. It’s a nice color. I love the color green. And so does my brother, Gray. He only ever showers when the shampoo is green. Green is also what I color the trees. Trees are good. Without trees, there would be no books. I couldn’t imagine what life would be without books.Or maybe I can, I just don’t want to imagine life without it.I like books. Right now, I’m reading a book on different psychological assessments. A few months ago, we moved to a place that’s far away from my mother. Sometimes I don’t like change. Change is weird, it makes me scared. This time, I liked the change. This time, I can read all the books I want and my mother won&r

A miniature demon was inches away from my face.“Markus,” Gray whispered softly. “I have to ask you something.”It was like he was trying not to wake me up more than he already did. Groaning, I rub the back of my head. When he had woken me up by blowing warm air in my ear, I woke up flinching. My head hit my headboard, and I was afraid I might have broken it, and I wasn’t really in the mood to spend any more than I already did the past few days.“What is it?” I asked, lifting him up and placing him on my lap. The past few months have been amazing, he’d taken in a lot more weight and even though he hated it, he also started taking more showers. All we needed was changing the shampoo to the green ones that he liked. “What’s wrong, bud?”
The Disreputable Love Transaction [EPILOGUE] The Disreputable Love Transaction
It was around midnight when my sister started to fucking scream.When we had been living on the same roof, I was used to her bitching every hour of the day. She finds gum in her shoe, she bitches. She loses one of her earrings, she bitches. She figures out I ate the last fucking piece of donut. She fucking bitches. Everything she does is bitch. It came to the point where I don’t even want to come home anymore because I was missing sleep because of all the time she keeps bitching about everyone at the house.Still, for some inexplicable reason, I feel like her bitching now didn’t sound like her typical bitching.Rubbing my eyes, I yawn, pulling myself up from the couch. The television was still on when I had been watching a movie a few hours ago. Violet would probably have bitched about this too but

“Give that back to the kind gentleman, Gray.”Gray scrunched his nose up in annoyance, “No!”“Gray,” I say again, forcing a smile so that none of the other people could tell I was close to slapping the back of his head for being a brat. “Return the paper bag to the man.”“Helen said only one per person!”“We bought lots, didn’t we?” I counter, “Just give it back.”Gray mutters something under his breath once more but, he returned the paper bag to the homeless man who for sure was hiding five more bags inside of his coat. He walked by more than a few times already, I just didn’t make a comment. Hey, if we were in t

“What’s that about?” Red asked as we got out of the cab, pulling an exhausted and dozing Markus out. Thankfully, Red was with me because there was no way in hell I can carry Markus all on my own. I already had another set of weight that’s pulling me down in my belly, I can’t have the person who made the weight possible adding to the changes of my center of gravity. “What did that woman mean by contract, Violet? What was she talking about?”I say nothing. Instead, I slung my arm around Markus’s lower back, while his inner elbow settled around the back of Red’s neck. It was a good thing that his apartment was in the basement and we didn’t have to use the stairs. Thank you to whoever invented elevators!Red huffed, his voice sounding annoyed with my sudden s

“You brought a titty club?”“Red!” I hissed, covering his mouth immediately before either of the kids hear. “It’s not a titty club! I’ve never seen an uncovered breast at Ardere. Can you keep your mouth shut?”Red and Clementine got home a few hours after we prepared dinner.And Markus was yet again, working late today.He had been working late for quite a few days now that I’m starting to both get worried and annoyed. Granted, I wasn’t alone at home and he could leave me without me getting bored, it still wasn’t what I expected. Especially now that we knew what the other had felt. I thought for sure that our feelings were mutual, everything would feel different.
The Disreputable Love Transaction [94] Everything We Wished For
My therapist suggested that I should make a list.They told me that hate was a powerful word, and that it was subjective. That maybe the hate that was festering inside of me wasn’t necessarily considered as hate but more of confusion and guilt forming together. They told me that sometimes things happen beyond our control and that I shouldn’t blame myself for the choices I made along the way over things that I had no control over.Of course, I thought it was total bullshit.Still, I found myself typing names on the notes app of my phone. I was inside my room, with the door open to ease everyone’s concern. I’ve already gone and fed Mexi. It had been a long time since we spent time alone together. Markus, Scarlett, and Olive were at their jobs, Hazel was at her dorm, Red and Clementine wer
The Disreputable Love Transaction [93] Who Knew Therapy Wasn't All Just Fun And Games?
I don’t know what’s more infuriating.Maria and Maverick, who were trying to keep cool but failing horribly, while they were taking food out of paper bags. They kept glancing my way ever since I got back into Ash’s room. Or maybe it was my siblings that were more annoying. I could feel their stares on me even when they weren’t facing my direction. It was that bad.Red, Jade, and Gray were standing by Ash’s, who thankfully was knocked out cold and not blabbering crazy stuff anymore, bed. Gray was blatantly staring, whispering something to Red, while tipping his head in my direction. Red was glancing at me from the corner of his eye, and I met his gaze. When he noticed that I caught him, he placed his hand on top of Gray’s head and swiveled his face to avert his gaze.Th

Keep calm, Violet.I’ve been repeating that ever since Markus had grabbed my hand and started pulling me along behind him, walking to heaven knows where. He’s been quiet ever since we left Ash’s room. I didn’t miss the way that Maria and Maverick were throwing glances at the both of us as we left. Hell, even Red was giving me a knowing look and it’s Red we’re talking about. He couldn’t even care less about my girly problems.I was in such a state, it took me a long time to figure out just where exactly we were going. We’ve passed the hospital park where we had the talk a few days ago. And it doesn’t really look like we’re going to where his car was parked. My hands were getting clammy and he still hasn&rsquo
