(Amaia)
Alnitak holds me like a woman holds her precious jewels. Mintaka comes to himself, and his eyes find me, looking slightly apologetic. I fix my bra so my breasts don't remain exposed.
"Seriously, Taka. How could you let him hurt her?" Alnitak gently turns my shoulder towards him so he can see the wound on my neck. "See."
Guilt flashes in his eyes and he tiredly stands up, taking a step towards us.
"I am sorry…" He already puts himself down and feels low because of his other self and now Alnitak blaming him will only increase his remorse.
"Didn't you have words with him before you let him out to meet her?" Alnitak's anger makes his body shake.
I turn around and place my hand on Alnitak's chest and softly say, "Calm down. It's not his fault. It was I who insisted on meeting him and gave him permission to hold me like that."
Alnitak's gaze leaves his brother and finds me. "You don't know him. Taka does and yet he lets him get handy with you."
