I watched with crossed arms and a loving stare as Royce continued to argue with a two year-old.

It was funny how sassy the little girl was but yet she seemed to have a crush on Royce. It was an adorable seen as Royce playfully pulled on the little girl's black hair while she tried to push him away with her small hands.

Aamina was our neighbor's daughter who my mom agreed to babysit for a week until her parents came back from New York.

However, my mom and Mark have been working so Royce and I had to take care of her.

The school was closed since the tragic incident with Juan so we had a three week vacation before we had to go back.

Pablo was stressing over finals right now so we couldn't disturb him at the moment. He was at the library finishing an essay so now it was just us three in the house.

"I feel like I'm getting hit with a feather." Royce laughed and lightly slapped Aamina causing her to get irritated.

She slapped Royce back with all her force then regreted it right after. Royce pretended to be seriously hurt and grabbed his cheek in agony.

Aamina began to cry and started to kiss Royce's face with sloppy kisses. That was when I saw Royce smile so wide a dimple formed on his cheek.

"I was just playing around, babygirl. No need to cry." Royce told Aamina in a sweet tone and wiped her teared stained chubby cheeks.

My heart was melting inside me as I continued to watch the two interact. It seemed that Royce had a soft spot for children...

"Royce, I need to put Aamina to bed." I quietly said, not wanting to break them apart, but had to.

Royce nodded and grabbed Aamina off of his lap. He caried her in his arms towards me as Aamina hid her face in his neck.

I stretched my arms out to grab Aamina but she didn't want to let go of Royce.

"No sleep!" she protested and wrapped her little arms tighter around Royce's neck.

I frowned at her reaction and really didn't know what to do. Should I force her to sleep?..or do I let her stay up?

It was 9 p.m already and mom told us to have her in bed by 8 so already this wasn't working out.

Royce chuckled and went to go sit back down on the couch. "You heard the little lady. No sleep." he teased.

Aamina giggled as Royce tickled her side and playfully pretended to fight with her again. They both went at it causing me to let out a heavy sigh.

"Put your fists up like this. If you want to keep that pretty face, you have to learn to protect it." Royce instructed seriously and showed Aamina how to make a fist.

I had no idea why he was teaching a two year-old how to fight, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't cute.

I went to sit down next to them and just gave up trying to put Aamina to bed. She could sleep all day tomorrow anyways.

Royce kept smiling so wide it filled my whole body with joy. He never smiles like that and I was happy I was witnessing it with my own eyes.

"Roy, juice!" Aamina said making me smile at her adorable voice.

She couldn't say Royce's complete name so she just said 'Roy' to shorten it. Aamina was in her pink hello kitty pajamas and had her long her in two braides.

Royce and I were also in our pajamas so it would be easier to take care of Aamina.

We've done nothing but watch all the Shrek movies along with Aladdin, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. It was entertaining seeing Royce watch Cinderella since he kept mumbling curse words under his breath.

Lets just say he didn't like it and thought Cinderella was annoying, but somehow loved the step sisters.?

Maybe because they were mean like him.

"Great idea, I am a bit thirsty. Make sure you get me an applejuice as well." Royce teased Aamina and gently pushed her towards the kitchen.

Aamina ran to the fridge but didn't know how to open it. Royce laughed as the little girl couldn't understand what way the door opened.

"Royce, stop being mean and go help her." I scolded with a chuckle.

"I really don't want to get up." Royce whined and instead placed his head on my lap. "Plus, we're finally alone." he said with a wink.

I couldn't help but lean down and softly kiss his lips. I parted my lips while Royce did the same so the kiss became a much more heated one.

We have been so occupied with Aamina that we haven't even kissed eachother. Especially since my mom has been around more often so it was almost impossible to sneak a kiss.

So at this point we were trying to take advantage of the moment. It was hard kissing Royce upside down but somehow we managed to do so.

A hard knock on the door then interrupted our little moment. Royce got up and told me to stay in my spot.

Aamina tried to follow Royce to the door but failed miserably when her little feet couldn't keep up and ended up falling. She started to cry causing Royce to rush to her instead of the door.

I got up and answered the door instead as Aamina sobbed into Royce's chest and blamed the ground for her fall.

I smiled and opened the door only to have that smile diseapper from my face in less than a second.

Cymphony stood there with her own tears falling from her eyes. She entered the house without a word or even a simple 'hi'.

She saw Royce and embraced him in a hug, not caring about the crying toddler he had in his arms.

Aamina saw Cymphony and immediately didn't like her since she was hugging Royce, so she started to kick her away. I could tell Royce was losing his patience with both females on him just by the way he tried to get Aamina to stop kicking Cymphony.

While Cymphony wouldn't let go of Royce and kept sobbing on him.

That's when I finally grabbed Aamina out of Royce's arms and calmed her down.

"What the hell are you doing here Cymphony and why are you crying?" Royce questioned, now with his usual dull eyes.

Cymphony wiped her mascara stained eyes and cleaned her nose while she tried to control her sobbing. "My mom and I fought...so she kicked me out of the house for the night.." she cried.

I stood awkwardly by the staircase as I gently rocked the small girl in my arms. Aamina sucked on her thumb for comfort and placed her head on my shoulder, but still keept a close eye on Cymphony and Royce.

"So what do you want me to do about it?" Royce bitterly replied with crossed arms.

Cymphony approached Royce and kissed him causing me to almost snatch her by the hair and drag her outside but I kept my calm.

I couldn't do something like that in front of a child.

Royce stayed silent and gently pushed Cymphony away from him. I hated how calm he was and wasn't screaming at her that he was taken!

He could atleast tell her that what she did was wrong...why wasn't he saying anything?..

He knew I was right here and how it would make me feel seeing her kiss him..

"You can stay on the couch." Royce finally said making me completely lose it.

I rushed upstairs with Aamina and went to my room. I locked the door and paced around trying to control my tears that were threatening to fall.

I felt so rejected and betrayed by Royce it hurt my chest...

"Ris, is okay." Aamina quietly said in my ear making me hold her tight in a hug. She hugged me back causing me to cry..

"Chris, open the door." Royce's serious voice said behind the door.

I wiped my eyes and ignored him. I fixed my bed for Aamina and placed her right beside me.

She cuddled to my side and was tired from crying so much not too long ago. I ran my fingers through her beautiful soft hair and smiled when she giggled.

I turned the lamp off causing the whole room to go completely dark and layed next to Aamina again.

"Atleast let me say goodnight to Aamina." Royce said making Aamina look over once she heard Royce say her name.

"Roy?" she questioned and pointed at the door. I reluctantly nodded and let her go say goodnight to him.

I opened the door and avoided Royce as he got down on his knees to hug Aamina. Cymphony then walked out of Royce's room and my breath got caught in my throat when I saw her wearing one of his shirts.

Royce noticed my stare and got up. "Cymphony can you take Aamina downstairs for a bit." he instructed.

I was about to argue but Royce shoved me into the room as Aamina followed Cymphony downstairs.

"What is your problem, Royce? Aamina and I are about to go to sleep!" I finally yelled at him, trying to keep my anger undercontrol as much as possible.

Royce surpsied me as he quickly took off his shirt and then pinned me to the bed without a word. He roughly kissed my mouth and started to rub his body against mine.

He parted my legs, getting in between them and kept going with his movements causing me to hold back a moan.

"What are you doing?" I questioned as he started to kiss my neck.

A low groan escaped my mouth when Royce slipped my pajama bottoms off along with my underwear and rubbed his hand on my shaft.

He got up and helped me take off my shirt in one quick move. He stepped out of his own pajamas and boxers and started to leave hot kisses all over my chest.

His wet lips burned my skin with pleasure and made me realize there was no need for my jealousy. Royce was no longer going out having sex with girls and he was only trying to be nice to Cymphony.

Royce belonged to me now even though we were now considered brothers...

He was showing me that I was the only one he wanted. I should of known this from the time he told me he loved me..

It all felt like a dream when I heard him say those simple words. Even this moment felt like a dream as he's roughly making love to me..

I grab the bed sheets tightly in my fist as the pain and pleasure takes over my body. Looking at Royce's face as he thrusts inside me over and over again makes me want to have him this close to me forever.

"What do I need to do, brat? Tell me..." Royce states, noticing the sadness in his voice.

I moan without caring about how loud I'm being when Royce starts to hit my prostate constantly with every thrust. I'm becoming a dirty mess because of him..

Royce isn't being gentle anymore and somehow I liked it. My nails scratched down his back as his cock filled me completely with his hard pounding.

My bed was moving with his movements and our bodies were getting hot with every minute that passed.

"Wha... uh...are you mhmm...talking about?" I tried to ask as Royce bit down on my shoulder.

Royce stayed silent but his pace didn't slow down. He looked at me again then kissed my mouth. I kissed him back which caused him to slow down a bit...

He focused on passionately kissing me instead.

"To make you believe me that I only want you.." Royce finally answered and thrusted hard inside of me again.

This time not stopping and not giving me a chance to reply as he made it difficult to do so. I was so gone into the pleasure he was giving me that I couldn't think clearly.

I whined and moaned into his shoulder as I heard him repeating those words..

"Tell me."

"Please tell me."

I came hard between us once I felt him cum deep inside without any warning. We held eachother for awhile as our breathing came back to normal.

Royce pulled himself out and layed beside me. We stared up at the ceiling coming back to reality.

I turned my head to look at him and even though the room was dark I could see his deep frown..

"Royce." I quietly said.

Royce hesitated to stare at me but when he finally did I noticed his eyes were a bit red.

"Are you crying?.." I questioned and got closer to him.

"No." he defended himself and pushed me away.

He wiped his eyes and cursed when he looked down at his hands. Something was obviously wrong with Royce so I got up and put my pajama bottoms on as Royce did the same.

I tried to turn on the light but Royce pulled me away before I could get close to the light switch.

"Don't." his voice said so deep it sent chills down my spine.

What was going on?..

I wanted to know why Royce was acting so strange and knowing the light switch was the only way to answer my question gave me the strength to quickly turn the light on.

I turned around and stared at Royce but suddenly wished I didn't turn on the lights...

My eyes widened in terror and my mouth parted open as a gasp escaped my lips.

How is that possible? Royce is...

crying actual blood...
