I stared at file in front of me before grabbing it, and began checking the contents of the file.
"They are papers for your apartment, you can shift there whenever you want, all the necessities you will be needing are provided there...and if you do happen to have any problems, the owner of the complex is my friend he will assist you." Kalix spoke with a straight face whole eatimg his food as I watched Katherine's eyes widen in shock.
"By what do you mean she can move some where else?" Her voice was coated with rage, all while glaring at me.
"Laurel is shifting, and I'm the one who asked her to, so no one better try to stop her." That's it, he said what he had to, kept the for and knofe calmly on the table and left the dinning hall.
Logan was freezed on his spot, as Katherine grabbed me by my arm in a tight bruising grip.
"Did you tell him about it? I told you that I was just checking on you, didn't I? How dare you–"
"Enough Katherine! Let them do whatever they want, they are old enough to make their own decisions." Cutting Katherine off mid sentence, Logan also left the Dinning hall followed by me with the file, another second alone with that crazy woman I might be as better as dead.
And instead of going back to my room, i decided to pay Kalix a visit to his room.
Standing in front of his room I let out a heavy breath, and raised my hand to knock on the door.
I knocked on the door and heard a cold come in, and twisted the door knob, swallowing a lump that had been formed in my throat.
I don't know why, but after how he reacted that day, I was feeling weird to talk to him about anything.
Stepping inside the room I saw him sitting on his couch typing on his laptop, with glasses on his eyes, as he raised his head to look at the person who had come inside his room.
His brows dropped in confusion setting aside the laptop, and removing his glasses.
"Why are you here?" His voice was too cold, and it was hurting me, for no reason.
"Can we talk?" I asked.
"About what?" His voice was gruff yet I gathered all the courage and walked closer to his couch.
"By leaving this house... I didn't meant to say that I was leaving you. I want to leave so I can...work." I blurted out without even thinking what I was saying.
"And why do you even want to work, ever since you graduated you have not been working and you were okay with all of it untill now, tell me when have I ever said no to any of your requests, whatever you want I buy it for you then what changed?" His rebuked.
"I want to make my own name, I want to learn new things and if I remain in this house Katherine won't let me. I never said I wanted to leave you, you are my brother the one who stood with me in every single hardship I faced, so tell me why in the world would I want to leave you... You are my one and only family who truly loves me!" My words came out one after another, one thing was confirmed, I had gotten a weird kind of confidence ever since I have gotten in this body, and I was saying things I didn't know I was capable to enough to say.
Kalix heaved out a sigh before lowering his head.
"Okay then from next week you can join my company, there you can complete your dream and I can also be rest assured that you will be perfectly fine and no one will be there to give you tough time." His words sounded more like an order than care.
"No way I will work in your company! that way my chances to work the want will decrease than increase, even if you will protect me from bullying and all, I will get a huge tag hanging around my neck that I can't do anything without my brother's help" I defended.
"It's not a lie though!" Kalix said nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders.
"You!" I gasped and threw the apartment file on him but he caught the file right before it could hit his face.
I didn't even know what i did...and I realised afer i threw it that what i had just did.
He stood up from his place the file in his hands as he walked towards and hit the file on my head with slight force.
"Is that how you treat your older brother!" He scolded, as i let out a groan rubbing my head where he had hit me.
"Be grateful that you are my sister or else, you would've regretted hitting me like that." I rolled my eyes at his words and then looked at him hopefully.
"You are not mad at me anymore, right?" I looked up at his face.
"I wasn't mad at you, I was just– scared, that I would lose you like I had lost mom." His sentence caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting this reply.
"Well don't worry, you can move in your apartment whenever you want, and yeah one more thing be ready, because even there I won't let you live in peace." He had devilish grin on his lips as I got wierded out by him.
He ruffled my hair and handed the file back to me.
"Tell me when you will be moving in... I'll drop you there...and yeah i need a housewarming party..." He declared and went back to his couch.
"Now shoo I have an important online conference meeting right now." Waving his hands he was back at working on his laptop and I left his room.
Smiling,
Maybe this is what I had been missing out my whole life, that I got so much used to loving someone elses brother this easily...and began mistaking him as mine.
