Subtitle: My Contract Marriage

Written by: Marvy Hyacinth

∪ ̄- ̄∪

Meanwhile, as the happy moment was going on between the siblings, someone was not at rest.

The guy at the restaurant was so disturbed, thinking he was the one who made Alexa quit her job.

... Mr. Green's POV ...

I drove home very angry at myself.

My conscience was pricking me.

'You pushed her to quit'

"No! I didn't. After all, she had drafted the letter since Monday"

'But she never submitted it till today

"Wait... What did you expect me to do? Just let her walk away, swallow my pride, and called on another waitress?"

'Exactly!'

"Hey, dude! Shut up"

'You're shutting me up?'

"Hell yeah"

'Then you're shutting up too'

"And why would I?"

'Because I'm you, and you're me. Whatever you do, I bear the consequence too. And whatever I push you to do, you bear the consequence'

"Shut the fvck up you man who*e"

'Woah! You just called yourself a man who*e. I didn't see that coming'

"Get it out."

'No dude. I'm not gonna leave till you get the poor girl another job'

"How do you know she needs another job?"

'Because I do'

I'm gonna get out of this awkward convo one way or another

"Oh shit! How do I even find her when I don't know her?" I argued. I couldn't help someone I don't know right?

*You have a tracking agency in your company dude'

*my stupid... Well, wise subconsciousness tells me in a bored tone.

"I'm still not helping"

'OK, then deal with me for the rest of your life'

... If there's one thing I hate about me, it's my being smart. Now half my smartness has been transferred to my subconsciousness. We share an equal 50% to 50% intelligence, which makes it hard for him to subject to me.

Except during work, I did well and that was the only time we didn't blab at each other. OK, practically... I blab at him.

"Ugh! My mind's driving me crazy"

I yelled in my car and pulled over like a crazy baboon.

I hit the steering wheel several times and when I got tired, I called June.

Who's she?

Yes, you guessed right.

She's ONE of my f*ck buddies.

I had a lot of them and plenty of girlfriends too, the figure would make you go crazy.

It didn't even ring for even 10 secs, she picked.

© "Hey baby"

She said over the phone

© "June, I need you"

I said

© "for what baby?"

She asked me and I knew that at this point, she was biting a side of her lip and winking with her boo*s pushed up and jiggling like my house keys.

I tried to play along with her.

© "the usual baby"

©" and what's the usual?"

She sluttily asked and I got pissed off here.

©"Sx June! Sx!"

I shouted over the phone and I could tell that abated her sluttiness a little.

© "you didn't have to shout at me Anderson"

she whimpered like a rain-beaten dog.

I scoffed.

Who cares about this girl?

She's acting all needy just because of some s*x we're gonna have. Something I'll throw her out after I'm done.

© "Alright. Just come over"

I toned down a bit.

"I'll be there soon Hunny"

Hunny...

Tsk! Funny human.

I quickly cut off the call, tucked my phone back into its original position, started the car, and swerved back to the road.

I got home, parked my car in the parking lot and went into my room, pulled off my clothes, and headed for the bathroom. I took a quick shower since I was expecting June anytime from now.

Done with my shower, I tied a towel around my waist and used a smaller one to wipe off the water on my hair.

Satisfied with my less wet hair, I draped the towel on my neck and headed for the kitchen. I was damn hungry and my stomach spoke about it.

I looked in the cupboards and found some instant noodles. I picked two out and placed them on the kitchen counter before looking for vegetables.

I brought out some carrots, and veggies and chopped them up.

I lit the gas on, placed a pot on it, poured in a half bottle of water, and turned on a 3-minute timer.

Next up, I put the chopped veggies and carrots in the now boiling water and put in the noodle seasoning. I put in the noodles next and cut up some onion and a pepper bell into it.

"Hmmm... Something's missing"

"Oh yeah! Fat oil."

I opened the lower board by my side and brought out a bottle of fat oil, poured some into a big spoon, and added it to the boiling noodle.

I covered up the pot and when it was about 45 seconds left for the noodle to be ready, I broke an egg in it and left it on the top without stirring it.

Soon, the timer beeped, and I brought the pot down and transferred the contents into a noodle bowl.

I took a fork, set the bowl on the kitchen counter, walked to the sink, washed my hands, and went to sit on the chair facing it.

Y'all must be wondering why I didn't cook the egg for long right? Well, I don't fancy fully cooked eggs and I didn't want to fry them because chopping up the veggies for it would take longer.

I picked up my fork and started eating. The noodle tasted great. Well, I don't mean to brag, but I cook better than most people.

I was halfway through my meal when the doorbell rang. I already knew who it was so I just walked toward the door and opened it without checking who was at the door.

I almost screamed at seeing who it was.

"April! What are you doing here?"

I tried to tone my voice.

"Step aside, please. Can't I visit my brother in his house?"

She rolled her eyes at me, pushed me aside, and stepped in.

I scoffed.

She hasn't changed a bit.

The last time I saw her was about a month ago at a boring family get-together. We weren't close one bit and we both never tried to hide it from each other. We pretended to the media and all to save our family name but put together... We were Vinegar and Water in reality.

"Well, you can't. At least, not without informing me you were going to come visiting beforehand."

I tried to shut out the part of my brain trying to scream at her.

"Are you expecting someone here?"

She asked out of nowhere.

"And why do you care about that? Why are you even asking?"

I scoffed and leaned on the wall behind me as she made her way into my kitchen.

**"Because you're half-naked. If it wasn't for that flimsy white towel, I'd be seeing your torso"

she winked at me and bit her lower lip.

I know it was wrong but my d*ck suddenly stood at attention.

"Elder brother"

She added and scoffed at the title she so lovingly added.

"Stop doing that!"

I shouted at her up tried to walk up to my room so I could hide my semi-erection.

"Why are you wobbling?"

She asked me with her hands crossed on her chest.

"Ugh...nothing?"

How would I explain having a semi-erection because of my kid sister's words?

"Wait. You got an erection because of what I said?"

She asked her cheek all puffed up in readiness to laugh.

"No!"

I lied and immediately regretted it. I was very bad at lying because my fingers always told me off. My index finger would wrap around the middle own and April knew about it.

"Well, your fingers tell me something else"
