My mom remarried after I turned, eighteen. I was happy for her seeing how happy she was after meeting Devon, her new husband and my new father.

"Congratulations mom. I wish for your happiness" I greeted her, she was wearing a beautiful long luxurious white gown. "Thank you Xein, I love you son. Thank you for accepting mommy's decision."

"Of course mom, I always want what's the best for you and I saw how he really loved you" I smiled at her. My mom is really beautiful and can get any man she wants but she didn't just choose anyone. After my real dad died due to a car accident, my mom was lonely and sad, she cried every night.

But after meeting Devon, she suddenly got her charm back. She started fixing her self, making her self beautiful. She started to bloom again. "Just, always take care mom" She gave me a hug and kissed me on the cheeks.

"My love" Devon called her. My mom turned and clung to him and started greeting the guest. "So, looks like we're brothers now" a very charming voice was heard from behind me.

"Yeah, I hope that's okay with you" He's Azrahel, Devon's son. He's two years older than me and very handsome too like his father. "It's fine, thankfully I'm not an only child now"

"Isn't that like a privilege, you can have anything"

He chuckled "who said that? Being an only child sucks. Thank god I have a sibling now" what he said made me laugh. We talked to each other for a long time, getting to know each other and laughing at some crazy stuff.

"So what's your plan?" we're currently talking about the future. "Well, it seems I only have one path, and that's inheriting my dad's company"

"Oh pretty hard, but you'll get through"

"How about you?"

"I'm studying photography right now. I want to open my own gallery" he nods at me "that's nice"

We continue to talk to each other until we have to go home, and our parents need to go to their 'honeymoon'

"Want to ride with me? I brought my car"

"Sure"

We went to their house. He brought out some few alcoholic drink "You drink?" I nod at him and open a can. We continue to talk about things and watch some movies, we didn't realize how drunk we are. The only thing I can feel now is his lips on mine and it's moving so passionately. My mind was so blank and so dizzy that I didn't know what happened next.

I woke up lying on the sofa, and he was lying on the floor on his stomach. My head hurt so much. I went to the kitchen to look for some medicine

I saw him stand up and went to the kitchen counter "Where's your medicine?" he pointed at one of the shelf, I opened it and saw the medicines. I gave him one and took one for myself.

"How the heck did I get drunk that much?" He asked, looks like this is his first time getting drunk. I started remembering some things, but it was all blurred?

"What happened here?" we both looked at who talked and saw our parents looking at our mess. "Why are you guys back?"

"We're getting some stuff before we leave for the Maldives. Did you guys drink all night?" my mom ask.

"Sorry mom" I said.

"Oh honey, it's okay, are you okay though? Are you both okay" both of us nod at her.

"Well then, we'll be taking our stuff and you guys clean up" she kissed my cheeks again and took thier stuff before leaving.

"That's the end of my proposal" I just ended my thirty minutes long proposal about the kind of advertising that I thought of. I looked around and saw the delight in their eyes.

"That is a very nice proposal. I'd never thought of having that kind of advertising when it comes to our products. What made you think of this kind?" my boss asked.

"I thought of this advertising due to the growing numbers of people who use the internet. By doing this kind of advertisement will be good for our latest product" I remain smiling at them. The meeting soon ended on a good note.

"Congratulations Xein, looks like your proposal will be chosen soon" Maria congratulated me and I gave her a smile. "I do hope so" I went to my desk and took out my phone from my pocket.

"I just finished my proposal. Looks like my boss liked it"-Xein

"Of course they would, your proposal was amazing, I even wished that you proposed that to my company"- Azrahel

"Maybe soon 🤭"- Xein

I put away my phone and continue to do my work. It's been a long day already, and I can't wait to go back to my apartment.

After work, I went directly to my apartment and saw Azrahel lying on the sofa. "Why are you here again?" I asked him. He's been here for a week now.

"I just want to and your apartment near to my company, which still confuses me why you didn't apply" it's been five years since my mom and his dad got married. I also graduated early from college since I accelerated from second to fourth year and now I'm working.

"I didn't know your company was hiring that time" I answered. He got up and frowned "You could've told me you were applying. I could've hired you with no hassle"

I look at him with a serious expression. "Then there would be no thrill. At least I'm proud to say that I got my job, because of my own hard work" he smirked at me and pinched my cheeks.

"Why do you keep doing that?" It's kind of annoying, but it makes him happy, so I just let him, but he does it so often. "You have such a chubby cheek" he then laughs and pinches both my cheeks.

I slapped his hand away because it was hurting already. "Enough, are you going to stay here again for the night? I'm gonna cook dinner"

"Yeah, I'll stay. By the way, dad just called me a while ago and wanted me to tell you that they're going to extend their vacation" He said and flopped back down the sofa.

"Really? They've been on vacation for a while now, how long will they be on vacation"

"I don't know" I looked at him and saw him staring at me. "What?" he didn't answer and just approached me. I continue to look at him in the eye.

He wasn't breaking the eye contact and kept approaching me until, we're only a few inches apart. He gently placed his hand on my neck and stroke it softly. We keep looking at each other as if our eyes have the world in them. He smirk and pinch my nose before going back to the sofa. I really can't understand him.
