''Damian, Ophelia, come to mum, my little bundles of joy'' I heard my mom, Odette, yell across the large hall, she was still in her office suit, a black suit with a peach undershirt and a black pencil skirt made from the finest quality of cloth.

I nuzzle my neck into her neck that smelled like sweet exotic perfume, I always love it, she ruffled my short hair and pressed her lips onto my cheeks, her knees cracking when she knelt in front of me, the expensive leather of her shoes folding. I tangle my fingers into her auburn hair that was tied into a high pony, soft tendrils falling on her gentle face.

My sapphire blues met with her warm honey browns, crinkles on her eyes as she smiled, she is so youthful, she looked up at Damian who looked at her in adoration, his hands tied to the back like an obedient boy waiting for a hug.

She stood up and ran her fingers through his soft dark curls before pressing her lips on his forehead, he feathered his eyes close in the feeling before giving her a full dimpled smile.

''My darling'' she whispered when she wraps her arms around him, he was a few inches taller than her, too tall for a 14-year-old.

''How was your day mum?'' he asks looking at the door expectantly, I knew whom he was waiting for. 

''It was worth it, my boy'' a deep masculine voice came from the huge oak door, we turned our heads to see dad, he removed his shades and walked inside, the powerful tap of his shoes reverberated off the walls as a strong scent of cologne followed him. 

I squealed in joy seeing and ran towards him, wrapping my arms around his thighs, too short to reach further, he was too strong even to pick me up, for me to tangle my fingers in his messed up curls, tugging it, I love hair.

''Hello, my little queen'' he says pecking my nose, I giggled and pulled his perfectly set tie, he laughed softly at my antics, I looked into his deep-set blue eyes that reflected mine, in every way, I looked like him.

From the colour of my eyes, the texture and shade of my hair to the prominence of his sharp jawline, He reached his hand forward and motioned Damian to come forward. He walked toward him in confidence, tilting his head up a bit to look at dad.

A smile of pride lined dad's lip before he placed his ring-clad hand on his shoulders, shaking it a bit, Damian's amber eyes were filled with too much emotion, too much adoration for this man like he was his everything.

''Dad'' he whispers softly before hugging him, father smiled softly and kissed his hair, Damian's eyes were shut and turned to the other side, his ears on his chest as if hearing the rhythm of dad's heartbeat, his eyes closed as he nuzzled his side inside dad's body.

Dad quickly placed me down, making me pout, I always loved him holding me up because out of every person in this world, he made me feel the safest.

''Just a minute my little angel, just a minute'' dad pleaded at me, holding his index fingers pinched by his thumb, I nodded, pursing my lips. 

His hand came down to Damian's tie before he pulled it, adjusting and tying it the right way before patting his cheeks.

''That's the right way to do that my sweet boy'' he says ruffling his neat curls making him smile up at him, his embers gleaming before nodding, the adoration and love for his dad was killing me.

Dad bend down and picked me up again, I joyfully wrapped my hands around his neck, nuzzling my place in his neck, he placed his other hand on my mother's cheeks, his fingers touching the back of her ear.

Before he softly pulled her closer, bending down, I saw his lips meet hers into a deep kiss, I hate that.

I grimaced and turned my head away from them, burying my face back into his neck before, kicking him in the abdomen, dad didn't flinch, just let out a playful 'Ow'. 

''That was very much needed Carter'' mum teases rubbing her thumb on his hand that was on her cheeks.

''Quit calling me that dear Rose'' he says back chuckling, his blue eyes gleaming. 

''Ok, Ric'' she says pressing a quick kiss on his pouty lips again, I cringed.

Damian as respectful as ever had his head down, looking at the floor when mum and dad kissed, why? I never knew. 

''Damian'' mum suddenly said making him snap his eyes at her, he nodded obediently, waiting for her response. 

She bend down and took her hand in his and placed them on my smaller ones, me and dad frowned in confusion. 

''Promise me, that you will stay with each other no matter, Damian you will be there for your sister in every hard phase and in tears, and you too Ophelia, it doesn't matter that you aren't my biological son, you are no less than mine my sweet boy, and it doesn't matter you both don't relate by blood, you will be siblings, forever, and promise me that'' she whispers as dad gazed and her side profile, his eyes filled with a feeling I never knew.

All I know is that it was so warm and sweet that I wished someone looked at me like that. Like the way, dad looked at mom.

''Promise me Ian'' she whispers gripping our hands tighter, he inhaled sharply and nodded, his lips pursed.

''I promise mum'' he says courteously. 

''And you Lia?'' she turns her head towards me, her gentle eyes running across my tiny face. 

''I promise Mumma'' I squeal shaking my head vigorously, making dad chuckle, a serene smile touched mother's face before nodding.

I opened my wide, my whole body feeling giddy, my sapphire blue eyes met his dark embers, Damian.

He's my brother, He's my brother, He's my brother

I chanted in my mind before pushing him off me, his dark hair stuck on his wet forehead, water drop dripping from the bridge of his nose, making it look so sensual, that I gulped audibly.

My hands shivered at what I did, tears brimming in my eyes before I looked down, my dainty dress stuck to my sick like a second skin, I wrapped my cold arms around myself, covering from humiliation. 

He was all over me, I was all over him, I could still feel his exotic cologne on me despite the distance, my lips quivered due to my wavering emotion that threatened to spill any moment.

I couldn't take it anymore, it hurts too much that I felt my whole existence crash down. 

My mother's and father's face flashed in front of my eyes, I've wronged them, I swallowed audibly, my whole body shuddered with the feeling. 

I am so sorry mum, I am sorry dad.

A whimper left my lips as I fell onto my knees, my stomach churned and my heart twisted painfully, the feeling overcoming my senses that the pace of my breathing increased. I couldn't take this anymore, this hurt more than it was supposed to. I clutched my stomach in pain.

I could still feel the scent of his exotic cologne on me even though he stood a few paces away from me, his messy curls stuck to his forehead, a drop of water cascading down sensually down the bridge of his nose.

His hands shook beside him as he looked at him, I saw the same feeling in his eyes, self-loathing, guilt that consumed his whole mind. He was supposed to be that one man whom I should never have these feelings for, a person I shared such sweet memories will never be the same again.

He looked at his hands, anger and hate aimed towards them, they touched me in the way it wasn't supposed to.

A whimper left my lips as pushed my legs upwards, sitting on the wet asphalt, burying my face in between my thighs, my tears mixed with the rain running down my skin. It felt like someone thrust a dagger straight through your heart until you drain of every single drop of blood.

The intensity of the rain just increased every moment, the harsh drops hit my bare skin making them go redraw. I gripped the hem of my dress and my whole body shook with the strong feeling of my tears and pain.

I heard the water splash while watching Damian's expensive shoes come towards me at an inhuman pace. I felt him knelt beside me.

''Ophelia'' his deep voice whispered still having the same effect it was never supposed to do in me, being near him hurts for the first time.

''Please go away'' I mumble before placing my hand on his chest, feeling the moisture on his expensive suit before pushing him away, he didn't flinch.

You got some hardass muscles, bro.

''Ophelia! This was all your idea, I told you that let's go home, if we had, none of this has had happened, damn it!'' he snapped making me flinch.

Damian had never raised his voice at me, never. Until today.

I snap my head towards him in pure horror, my mouth hanging down, his words felt like I made a mistake and not him. 

''What?'' I ask softly, feeling my throat clench in pain, unable to form proper words.

''Fuck Ophelia! None of this should have happened! And what do you mean by going away? Should I leave you dripping, helpless and numb on a bloody road in the middle of nowhere? It's not fucking happening!'' he boomed making my heart drop.

This anger was not aimed towards me, it was for him, this is his conscience pricking him, punching him in the gut, making him say these words that hurt.

I feel you, Damian. This is all my fault, I should have told him to go home, as the rain washed us, so did it wash the effect of the alcohol and our Promise, it washed away something very precious which could never be brought back, our Bond.

''We broke that promise Damian'' I whisper looking at the road, gripping my thighs, watching the rain falling and burst into smaller crystals, the tears filled with rain blurring my vision, I turned to see them dripping off his lashes as he couldn't meet his gaze with mine.

''I know Ophelia, I am so sorry, I was supposed to stop, I'm the elder one, I-I am so sorry, t-this will never happen again. I-I have no words to say anything'' he whispers, his voice breaking as his head hung down in shame, that's when I saw tears drip down his eyes among all that rainwater.

In years I saw him cry, go vulnerable and weak in front of me, he was always the strong one and I was the cry baby, he doesn't even cry if you punch him in the gut or say bad about him, but he was crying, today when he broke our father's trust and our mother's promise. The boy who never cried, broke as a man today.

''Look at me Damian'' I say softly watching the rain drip down the cloth of his powerful triceps down his veined hands to the road. 

''I can't'' he murmurs, before I knew, his shoulders started shaking violently and within minutes he was in tears. 

''No No No, Damian, don't'' I pleaded, grabbing his shoulders and shaking them, in midst of all this, I never knew that I was crying until I felt the warmth down my cheeks.

''I am so sorry Ophelia, please'' he begged to tighten his fists on his thighs, head still hung low. I grabbed his face and pulled them up. 

His blood-shot eyes meeting mine, it was so broken that I whimpered, I've never seen these in his eyes ever, except in my strange dream.

My fingers softly moved his wet locks from his face, the rain fell on his face harder, dripping down his nose and over his sharp jaw, his face was unfathomable. 

''I am sorry, Damian'' I say sincerely caressing my fingers over his face, feeling its coldness, his hands come down and grabbed my hips, he buried his face on my neck, his hot staggering breath hitting my wet skin.

I felt a warmth go down my skin, it was his tears, a cry left my lips as did the same, my legs going around his waist, being close to his wet body releasing a strange warmth.

''I'm sorry too, Ophelia, I'm sorry for breaking my promise, for not being your brother, f-for not staying within my limits, Please forgive if you can darling'' he stutters pulling away from my neck and looking into my eyes. 

His palms touched my wet cheeks, his fingers grazing my outer ears, the coldness of his ring adding to the feeling.

''I feel the same too, Ian'' I say softly, looking between his embers that filled with tears, going down with tears, the rough water made our skin go red, if he was smiling, I would have thought he was blushing.

I hummed as I felt his lips press against my forehead, lingering thereon for a minute, this was something other than what he gave me a few minutes back.

This is a kiss of Love. 

A feeling of warmth of the freezing cold, made me feel all giddy, I rubbed his wet back softly as he nuzzled his face back into the curve of my neck.

His hands tightened around my waist simultaneously as I tightened my legs around his torso, pulling him closer.

I held his head as if he was little baby as his breath calmed in me, a sob left my lips suddenly as I gripped his wet locks, why does this hurt so much?

''It hurts so much Damian'' I whisper softly, he nodded into my skin, digging his nails into my back before rubbing my back softly.

I heard him sing something softly, I frowned and tried to listen to it more. 

''I feel it in the morning, You're still here in the morning, I see you but you're gone'' he softly sung making me gasp, he was humming the tune into my skin.

''Wha-'' before I could say anything, I stopped, he sang them so beautifully, I am transfixed, the tunes of the rain made it sound more beautiful.

''Justin Timberlake eh?'' I couldn't help but ask, he abruptly stopped his song, pulling back and looking at me, blinking the rain and tears away.

''Yeah, I love his songs'' he says softly, unknowingly drawing patterns on the skin of my back, I looked down at him due to the height difference that I sat on his lap. 

''Never knew you could sing, and never even dreamt that you enjoy music, and that too Timberlake's! You surprise me, cause I am not much of a fan of his'' I say honestly, but I love Timberlake, I was just teasing him,  looking at his flushed face. 

''You don't? Shame'' he chuckles, his embers twinkling, his old glow back, I smiled back at him.

''Honestly speaking, you sing it so well, I am surprised and impressed'' I muse twirling his wet hair with my finger. 

''It's a habit, I surprise and impress darling'' he says smiling, dimples poking through his stubble.

''Oh cut the crap braggart, now I understood that I don't even know you Ian'' I say softly, he dug his teeth into his lower lip.

''There are a lot of things you don't know about me, baby'' he says deeply making my whole body erupt in tingles.

I'm bawling my eyes out, it took me my last about of brain cells to write this, with a tummy filled with vodka which was forcefully chugged down my throat! Nearly half a bottle!

Anyways! Hope it was worth it!
