Dane’s Irresistible Desire

Everyone gathers here at Zeus’ condo to sympathize with him. I still can’t believe what happened to Yara. I really thought she was going to die but good thing she’s a strong woman and she fought for her life.

I feel sad for Zeus. Even if he doesn’t admit it we know that he already loves Yara. So it’s also hard for us to see him struggling now that Yara still isn’t waking up. But we know she will wake up too.

“Hi, Dane.”

“Oh hi.” I looked at Avel who was behind me. He brought a cake and laid it on the table.

Avel is a good friend of Yara. If I’m not good at reading with men I will assume that he likes Yara. But after my experience with my first boyfriend, I can have radar now of who is straight and smells pepper.

I am not against that. Though I thought my ex and I’s relationship had a destination I’m not angry with people like him. I love them even because of their humor when they get drunk. And Cooper my ex is still a friend of mine.

“It’s too hot outside,” Avel complained and rolled his eyes so I laughed. He knew I knew his secret and he said it was only the three of us Yara, Zeus, and I who knew.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“You said so. What’s that flavor?” I point to the cake.

“Strawberry.” I just nodded. He’s nice and easy to get along with. We have some business with him as well so he is already in our circle of friends.

The only fun that used to be was that there were only five of us together on any occasion and problem but now there are many of us. Though Brother’s Code is still there, it has increased and we don’t hate it either. But the five of us are still different, especially when we are the only ones together.

“I wished she would wake up soon. I miss the noise of that woman.” He looked at the room where Yara stayed. Even though Yara and I weren’t that close and there was a bad understanding back then, I can say that she is good.

My phone beeped and when I saw who sent me a message it was Dylan saying that I would meet him and bring a man with me because he was carrying something. Maybe this idiot is carrying a lot of things. What else was bought for the twins? Since Avel is the only one here, I take him with me.

“Avel, can you come with me? My brother is outside and he has some things and he needs a man.”

“The hot bad boy?”

“Yes, he is.”

“Another fantasy again later.” We walked through the door and laughed some more. But he still doesn’t make it obvious that he’s gay and the laughter is still manly.

I was shocked when I opened the door and saw Wallace with Dylan. He was carrying a basket and he was looking at us badly. He has a serious face and always looks but his gaze is different now. It’s like there’s a laser in the eye that anytime you fall.

“Yow, Avel, you and Dane are together. I am surprised!” Dylan greeted us. I saw Wallace gritting his teeth while glaring at me. “Wallace, give to soon-to-be-in-law what you brought so you can leave and you’re still busy.”

Wallace handed Avel what he was carrying and quickly turned around. I wanted to chase him and explain but he left quickly. Besides, Dylan is here also.

“Oh, what are you waiting for there, Dane?” Dylan asked so Avel also looked at me.

I closed the door when Wallace was gone. I said goodbye to go to the bathroom and then slipped the cellphone into the bag. When I got inside I called Wallace. He answered the call but he did not speak.

“Wallace?” I whispered but I didn’t hear anything from him. “Avel is just a —”

“Meet me at my unit tonight, Diana.” Then he ended the call. I tried to call him again but his phone was turned off. Fuck, is he mad? He hasn’t even asked who Avel is.

Everyone is here to celebrate the twins’ second month. Everyone was having fun but I was restless. I look straight at the time and feel like I want to pull it to get stuck. I want to go to Wallace to talk. Every second is like a month for me. This is the first time that I saw him mad.

I saw Dylan stand so I simply looked at him. He stood behind me and picked up the cellphone and someone called.

“Oh, Wallace, why?” I feel like my ears have become as big as Earth when I hear Dylan. “That woman with you is so noisy to growl.” It was as if I had been stabbed by what I had heard. “Ah, I’ll be home later, I’m still having a lot of fun and I’ll get to know Dane soon to be husband, and I’m very happy by their closeness.”

I automatically looked at Dylan when he said that.

“Are you saying?” I purposely raised my voice a little so Wallace could hear despite that I wasn’t happy with what Dylan was saying.

“Eavesdropping someone’s conversation is not good, Dane.” He stared at me. It seemed like what they were talking about was very important. Mostly, the way he stares at me. “NOT. GOOD.”

“I just heard my name.”

“Really?”

“O-of course.” He did not answer me and put the cellphone back to his ear.

“Yow, Wallace, have fun with your woman, and Dane and I will just talk with soon-to-be brother-in-law.” And he ended the call. “Want to ask me something, Dane?”

I want to ask him who is with Wallace? If he has a woman? What are they doing? What fun does he mean? Because I don’t feel that’s good.

“Nothing.” Fuck! I was even more insane mentally. I turned to my companions again and tried to get rid of whatever was bothering me now. Throwing jokes, it’s just Jace who makes the jokes. We just want Zeus to be happy because of what he is going through now.

We slice the cake that Avel brought. He reached out to us one by one and when he handed it to me he was smiling so I smiled at him too.

“Dane, you have dirt on your forehead,” Dylan said. “Please get rid of dude you’re close,” he begged Avel which Avel followed.

“Thanks,” I mouthed and we smile at each other.

A minute later my cellphone beeped. When I opened it, it was Wallace sending me a screenshot of his conversation with Dylan. Dylan send him the picture that Avel handed me a cake and remove the dirt on my forehead. Dylan’s message said: ‘Looks like I’m really going to have a brother-in-law.’

Wallace replied with him: ‘Good.’

I swallowed and wanted to look at Dylan and scold him. But when I did that he would know Wallace and I was talking. I received another message from Wallace. I would love to leave here and go to him because of the message he sent me.

‘If he’s the one that can make you happy, I will support you at any cost, I wish you happiness, Diana, and you don’t need to come here tonight. Just stay with him.’

‘Fuck you, Dylan!’

But I still couldn’t look at him. So just hold back my annoyance.
