Boyfriend For Rent (They Met Again)

IVAN POV

I wonder why the fuck she doesn’t listen. I don’t know why she so much hate Mira, and funny, the hatred still lasted until now, even after so many years of being away. At times I do get frustrated with her, but then, I can’t stop myself from loving her. Whenever we’re together, I just feel like running away from her, and whenever I’m away from her, I just miss her like we’re separated for years. If anyone ever told me taking care of your younger sister will be this frustrating and a big deal, I would never have believed the person, but my sister is a typical example of frustration itself.

“You want me to get myself a girlfriend, yeah?” I asked hoarsely, not raising my gaze to look at her.

“Are you planning on taking her as your girlfriend?, hell no Ivan!, that girl is a bitch, a prostitute, a slit, a whor…” I didn’t let her finished her statement, as I sprang up and landed a hot slap across her face, before I could stop myself from doing it.

She looked at me, with hurt all over her face, tears came rolling down her cheeks.

I bit my lower lip in regret, as I turned my face away and ruffled my hair. Fuck!, what the heck have I done now? Ever since we’re kids, I’ve never raised my hands on her for any reason, gosh why didn’t I controlled my anger?

“Di… did you just slap me? Because of her?” She scoffed, as more tears kept pouring down her cheeks, her hands on her cheeks, which was red from the slap.

“Nora… I… I’m sorry please.” I tried going close to her, but she stepped back, shaking her head for me not to get close to her.

“You love her this much, to the point of beating me up because of her? Well no problem, go ahead and make her your sister and your wife too, don’t you ever come anywhere close to me, don’t ever in your life, call me your sister, ever again. I rushed all the way here, worried that you must be back from work, and haven’t eaten anything, only for you to start beating me up because of some whore? It’s fine though, I’ll get out of your house, and your life, go ahead and be with the love of your life.” She yelled at me in tears, and with that, she turned and left the room, banging the door hard behind her.

“Shit!” I cursed inwardly, and started running after her.

“Nora wait up please… Nora please just wait up.” I called after her, as I kept rushing down the staircase, but she didn’t stopped to listen, as she opened the exit door, and stormed out, before banging the door really hard behind her.

Letting out a sigh, I slumped on the couch, and buried my face in my palms, as a drop of tears escaped my eyes. How could I be so stupid to have done that to her? She grew up with nothing, but my love and care, she has no one else but me, and I dare to hurt her this much? How am I going to get her to forgive me now? Nora is a very stubborn soul, who does whatever she wants, without listening to anyone, how will I get her to come around? Am I not a bad brother? I’m sure mom and dad must be very mad at me wherever they’re now, they’ll be feeling like I failed to protect my little sister, whom they left under my care. How the heck am I gonna be able to live, if anything ever happens to her? I’ll never be able to forgive myself.

I felt a hand around my shoulder, and I didn’t need anyone, before I’ll know that the touch came from Mira. What was I even thinking? I’m not even sure of my feelings for her anymore, and I put my relationship with my sister on line, because of her?

“I don’t know why she hates me, but I hate her as much as she hates me.” I heard her scoffed.

My blood boiled in anger, at the mention of that, as I raised my gaze to give her a deadly glare, how dare she say that about my sister?

“What did you say?” I asked, to be sure I heard her right.

“Yeah, I hate her, she’s an asshole, so annoying. She thinks she can boss everyone around, just because she gets the love of her brother, what kind of a spoilt brat is that?” She rolled her eyes, as she stood up and crossed her hands on her chest, like she just said some meaningful thing.

“Are you out of your mind Mira?” I thundered, as I sprang up to my feet, with so much anger in me.

“Please don’t yell at me.” She rolled her eyes, as she went to sit on the couch opposite me.

“This should be the last time, you’ll ever open that mouth of yours, to say some shit about my sister, the next time you try that, trust me, you wouldn’t like what you’ll see.” I said, then grabbed my car keys from the table, before going to the door, but halt on my way.

“I don’t wanna meet you here when I get back.” I said, not sparing her a glance, before opening the door, and storming out of the house, going to look for my sister…

? NORA POV

Tears kept pouring down my cheeks, as I walked down the road. Just the thought of my brother, slapping me, really hurts me alot. How could he do this to me, because of that bitch? He’s such a scumbag.

“I’m not going back to that house, not now, and not forever, he should make her his sister and wife, I don’t care.” I scoffed angrily, still walking down the road. I didn’t have anywhere to go, but I’ve made up my mind to go over to Jasmine’s house, and cool off my head, before thinking of the way forward.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Still walking absentmindedly, a car drove and stopped beside me, almost knocking me down.

“Are you mad or something?” I yelled at whoever was inside the car, glaring hard at it.

The door whined down, and I gasped at who I saw.

“Hey angry beauty.” He teased me, with that cute smiles that always melted my heart…
