Chapter 3

I slept all day because I was so tired from the long trip. I noticed that it was already dark outside, and I didn’t even remember to eat lunch. That’s why I felt very hungry, so I immediately got up to bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

I just wore a red thin silky nightgown curved to the beautiful shape of my body, and went out of my room to look for something to eat.

As I descended the relatively long staircase of the house of Fred and Diana, I could not help but to look around the entire household of the couple. Impressive, it was beautifully designed and positioned by each of their furniture. And you will also see a large portrait hanging in the living room; the photo shows the happy smiles of four people, who you thought were free of hypocrisy and infidelity. It's a picture taken from my sister's wedding, two years ago --where Fred and my older sister were in the middle while Daniel, my ex-fiancé who was their best man that time was besides her and me besides Fred as their maid of honor. Now that I see this picture I suddenly feel bad, I never thought there was something wrong with the position of the four people in it. It’s funny to realize, but now I am thinking of tearing it in the middle, and I guess you get the logic.

Oh well, I went straight to the kitchen. And also earlier I noticed when my older brother and I arrived that there was no single maid here. Ah, now I get it, it's more preferable, so that they are free to do things as a couple, no matter where they are in the house they can still be overtaken by lust. But poor them, I am now here to disrupt their fantasies --or worst their marriage.

I just cooked a simple omelette and rice, because that’s all you can find in their refrigerator, just eggs. My sister still doesn't change, she still loves eggs, and you know what I mean. Hmm.

I was just eating comfortably here in the kitchen counter when suddenly someone came in, which is, no other than Frederik Wilford. We are the only two here because my kind adopted sister is in Baguio, that’s what she said, she attended a conference at their work. Yeah right! Who is she fooling?

I looked at him and smiled very sweetly, "Hey brother in law! Let's eat. I went first and just cooked something, because I'm already very hungry. Cause you didn't even bother to wake me up this afternoon to feed me with yours. I mean feed me of food you cooked," I simply said making him stiff, and I just can’t stop smirking because of his reaction. I knew it!

"A-ah... I didn't wake you up because I know you're really tired from the long trip, sorry about that," he replied and it did not miss my sight as he looked at my body covered only by the thin fabric of my nightgown. And it's a good thing, right? He is affected with my presence.

I just stood up and got a plate for him.

"Here... suit yourself and eat," I invited him and he sat down in the seat in front of me and spooned some rice and took some of my cooked omelette.

"Omelette huh?" he softly whispered but still it reaches my ear.

“Ah-huh. As if I have a choice? There is nothing else I could cook having just eggs in your refrigerator; does my sister even know how to cook another dish rather than just eggs and hotdogs. Surprisingly, because my sister loves to taste different types of dishes, especially when she is itching, I mean her taste bud, you know,” I sarcastically said that made my older brother looked at me. And with confusion look, he still laughed at my joke. That’s why I just simply smirked and shrugged it off.

We just ate quietly until we finished eating. I noticed that my older brother ate quite a lot that made me smile, maybe he enjoyed the food I cooked or my presence made him eat heartily.

I was the one who offered to wash the dishes, when he suddenly spoke, "You cooked so well. I think I ate a lot."

"I know, brother, I'm really delicious, fresh and virgin. Just kidding," I blurted out that made him silent for a while until I heard him clear his throat, but I did not bother to look at him and just continued washing the dishes. But I just can't help myself from smirking.

"Ehem. All right Leys, if you need something, I am just in the veranda," he said and I heard his footsteps leaving the kitchen.

FREDERIK’S POV

I am hanging out with myself here in the veranda, just chillin’, ventilating and sipping the leftover wine in my cup. Shit! I really can't help but think of Leysa's meaningful words from earlier. I know, she wanted to point out something but I also know she doesn't want to directly say it to me. But however I thought about it, I could not really get what she wanted to convey. Anyways she's really something, I might say.

And yet, with her simple words alone it already made me lustfully attracted to her, and this is bad –so bad!

I was in that state of mind when suddenly someone sat down next to me. And when I looked at who it was, I just felt a shivering heat in my entire body even though the breeze touching my skin here in the veranda was cold –and it's her, Leysa Frank, my wife's sister.

"Can I have some, brother-in-law?" she asked, asking permission to also drink the wine I am drinking. And not saying a word, I just nodded as an answer but I did not expect her to put some wine into the same cup I am currently using.

And by just looking at her doing it and drinking into it, turns me on. Because just thinking that we are having an indirect kiss through that goblet, makes me hard and wanting to taste her luscious thin natural pinkish lips. Damn it!

She's a total good tease for a breakable man like me.

"So, how are you and my sister, brother? Is she a good wife?" I was distracted by fantasizing about her when she suddenly asked about Diana and me.

Oh shit! I forgot about my wife.

And it was like an alarm when my cellphone rang.

"Wait, Leys. I'll just take this call –it’s your older sister, Diana," I said to Leysa as if asking permission to answer the call of someone who just disturbed our conversation. Shit! This is bad, it was my wife for Christ sake! But Leysa just nodded silently and continued drinking.

So I went to the part of the veranda, far away from Leysa. And I answered my wife's call,

"Hey, babe! How are you there?" I calmly asked.

["I'm okay here, babe. I'm sorry I just got to called you, now. We were really busy a while ago –so is my sister already there? How is she? Have you already eaten dinner?" she gently responded.]

"Your sister was fine, just a little tired... from the flight. So she slept the whole day and yes, we ate each other --ahh! I mean we already ate earlier. And now we are having some catching up here in the veranda. Want to talk to her, babe?"

Shit! Really, what am I saying? I just hope that my wife won’t think differently about what I just blurted out. And I was relieved when she just agreed that she wanted to talk to her sister.

So I immediately gave Leysa my phone, which she accepted and put the phone near her ear.

"Hello, sister," she said while looking straight at me and biting her lower lip that made me a little bit unease. I don't know but her stares are enticing, it's like hypnotizing me. That’s why I also can’t take my eyes off her, it’s as if there’s a magnetic field between us.

"Ahh. Yes, sister. Fred was really delicious – I mean the food he just cooked. That’s why I can’t stop from eating him… the food until the last piece. Hmm." she said still talking to the phone while looking at me. I don't know what Diana was asking her, but based on what she said, Diana seems to be asking if she already had eaten, but as long as I can remember - she is the one who cooked our food, and not me. What is she trying to pull out now?

“Yes, yes sister. See you tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll take care of my brother-in-law. Yes sis, I will watch over him carefully. I won’t let that happen, don’t be jealous, because I won't let any woman go near my brother-in-law. Just enjoy the cold breeze of Baguio, and please bought me some strawberries. Thanks. Yeah, in behalf of you, I will make my older brother happy tonight. Just kidding. Okay. Bye!" And Leysa immediately returned my phone to me after the long conversation she had with my wife. I just said goodbye to Diana and she just reminded me to take care of her sister in behalf of her for the meantime.

Leysa was just looking at the sky when I returned to my seat beside her.

"So brother, how are you and my sister?" she asked again that made me looked at her.

"We are fine. She's a good wife, I might say," I honestly answered to her.

"--And we have never had a problem that damaged our relationship." I jokingly added.

"Oh how nice it is, brother-in-law but… I am already here," she said meaningfully.

"Huh?"
