Lucas sat at the lounge enjoying the view, this is why Arizona would forever be his favorite ce on earth, there was no ce like home, where he could rx and let the breeze and cool environment smoothen him, he took a sip from his juice and let out a breath.


    Katrina and Lc were out together, they have been gone the whole morning, he didn’t know what they were on to but they both seemed excited about it, he still didn’t know how they became so close.


    His mom and dad were also not around, the only other people around the house were Leah and her husband and kids, he liked being alone like this, taking a sip from his juice he let the sunbathe him.


    “What are you doing here all by yourself, brother?”


    His older sister Leah asked as she walked up to him, with her almost due tummy, okay his peace just got stolen.


    “Can’t you tell? I am rxing,”


    He said taking off his sunsses.


    “I can see that, just wanted to know why you are going it alone,”


    “I don’t needpany to rx ma’am,”


    She sat down and stretched out her legs, her big tummy almost bulging out of her shirt, he wondered how she wasfortable with the big tummy, it scared him.


    “So you are Katrina finally decided to act out those feelings you got from each other?”


    She asked giving him a knowing smile.


    “I don’t know what you are talking about dear sister,”


    “Oh, but you do, I know you do, you can’t deny it, I know what I saw and I am seeing,”


    “I don’t know what you are talking about, it might be the pregnancy hormones,”


    “Don’t try to deny anything young man, I saw you guys kissingst night,”


    He choked on his juice at her words.


    “I don’t know what you are talking about,”


    He repeated wiping his mouth.


    “Yeah, right, as if I didn’t just watch you choke on your juice, anyway Kat is a nice girl, I approve, this has been long overdue.”


    She said patting his shoulder.


    “What has been long overdue?”


    He asked.


    “What you guys have, you guys can’t keep your eyes off one another and you can’t seem to stay away from each other.”


    “As I said earlier, I don’t know what you are talking about, Katrina is my secretary and personal assistant so she is expected to be with me, don’t know where this theory of yours came from,”


    He said, he knew he was being defensive but, he was right, Kat and he didn’t have the kind of rtionship his sister is thinking, whatever they had was a fling, and nothing more.


    “Hmm, then what’s about the kiss,”


    “The kiss happened and we are both adults, and you are not supposed to be spying on us,”Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    “I wasn’t spying, I was taking a wall, you this gets ufortable sometimes,”


    She replied pointing at her tummy.


    “Yeah, I thought as much,”


    “You know I almost screamed when I saw you guys, I couldn’t contain my smile, I am happy that you are trying again,”


    “No one is trying anything, whatever you saw, don’t read too much into it best not what you think it is,”


    He answered, he should have listened to Kat and taken the kiss to where no one will see them but he had been sure his family was already in bed, he should have known better, he just hope Leah won’t go and tell everyone about it.


    “Then why we’re you guys kissing?”


    “As I said, we are both adults, kissing doesn’t mean we have a thing.”


    He replied.


    “I know you guys are both adults, I am not saying it a bad thing, I like Katrina, we all do, which is why I am going to tell you this if you are not going to be serious with her, then don’t start anything, because Katrina is the kind of woman that doesmitment like me, and you know how much I went through before I met my husband, I don’t want another woman going through that,”


    “Leah,e on,”


    “I am serious, it’s been over three years, why don’t you forget about the past and try and build a future with someone else, not everyone is going to be Reba,”


    “Can we not talk about this please,”


    He said, wanting her to end the talk already.


    “Yes, I will but just one more thing, Kat is my friend, if you mess with her I will castrate you, I don’t mind if you are my brother,”


    She warned.


    “Okay, but can you please not tell the others about us kissing? It’s really nothing,”


    “Hmm, fine, but it for my friend, not you, I know she won’t like to be the center of attention over nothing,”


    “I still can’t figure out how you guys became friends, you are almost two times her age,”


    “No, I am not,”


    “Yes, you are,”


    “No, I am not, Kat is twenty-eight and I am thirty-five that’s just seven years gap, and besides age is just number,”


    She responded.


    “I have heard you, ma’am, don’t you have an antenatal to attend or something?”


    “Are you trying to chase me away?”


    “Yes, I want my peace,”


    “I am not going anywhere then, ”


    She said stubbornly.


    “You can stay here then, I am going inside,”


    He replied getting up and picking his ss of juice, before he could take a step, hended inside the pool, when he surfaced, he found herughing her eyes out.


    “What the heck sister?”


    “Sorry, it was my hormone,”


    “What? Are you kidding me? Your hormones? You just pushed me in the pool and you are ming your hormones? Why can’t I understand this gender?”


    He questioned trying to get himself out of the pool.


    “What are you doing inside the pool fully clothed Lucas?”


    Lc asked as she and Katrina walked in, well what a perfect time for them to show up.


    “He fell,”


    Leah said stillughing, he didn’t know what was funny, but Kat was giggling too.


    “I didn’t fall in, you pushed me, you crazydy,”


    He said which made thediesugh even harder.


    “I don’t see what’s funny here, you guys are being mean to me,”


    “Ohhhh, are you going to cry, baby brother?”


    Lc asked and he eyed her.


    “Baby brother? You are just eleven months older,”


    “But still older, by the way, Kat got you something,”


    She announced pointing at her, she turned red with embarrassment.


    “Really? What’s that?”


    “It’s nothing big, vani cupcakes, I remembered you like them so I got some for you, I kept it inside your room.


    She exined.


    “Aha, thank you, could you please help me with the towel?”


    He asked and she nodded and went to get it for him, as she moved closer to where Leah was he could see the look in her eyes, before he could warn Kat about it, Leah pushed her into the pool too.


    “Leah!!”


    He scolded but she wasn’t listening, she and Lc were bothughing their asses off, when Kat surfaced, he thought she would be upset but she joined themughing, sshing water at them.


    “Lucas? You are the grumpy one, she understands the assignment,”


    Leah said betweenughs.


    “I just can’t understand your gender, you guys are weird,”


    He said swimming to the edge of the pool and getting out of the water.


    “Enjoy your afternoondies, I am out of here,”


    He said and walked off, even as he left he could still hear theirughter, he could Kat’s richughter mixed with his sisters own, she got so well with her family, maybe just maybe***


    “No, don’t go there Lu?as,”


    He said shaking whatever foolish thoughts that entered his head off, he wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice, especially not with Katrina…
