"Cheers for Brother's code!" We shouted at the same time and one by one raised the glass we were holding. We are now together here at BCC and also Dane is here. My foot is fine and I can walk well.
"It's only a few months we will be having a baby again at BCC, you two, who will be next?" Phoenix asked Zeus and Dane.
"I think Dane first because she's old."
"What do you think me, seated on a wheelchair?"
"You first, Zeus, for all of us men first before Dane," Blaze suggested.
"All right Blaze, when you follow Joker, It’s deal."
"Maggie say after ten years. She got sick when she gave birth to Joker."
"Then after ten years either. Dane and I can concur if she agrees." Then he looked at Dane.
"Let's see," Dane said smiling.
I leaned my back on the sofa while smiling. I never thought I would go through that kind of problem Margot and I had. But I'm happy because despite everything we've been through, now we are ok. It was a lesson to me not to get angry wife angry because she's really hard to deal with. If I hadn't been put in danger she wouldn't have known my value in her life.
I looked at them one by one as Zeus teased. I don't feel bad for these idiots even though they hide my son from me. I know they only act based on what they see in me. I show up as immature and childish so they think I should fix myself first.
One more thing, I can’t tolerate these idiots. Our earthly bodies are still swimming in the eggs of our fathers, our souls already bonded to where we came from. They have been my brother and friend from then until now and forever.
"Ouch!" I jumped when someone threw a stone at me. It turned out that Blaze threw a bottle cap at me.
"Stop thinking of a position later," Blaze said while laughing.
"Stupid!"
"Hey, sorry to disturb you." We all looked at Yara who was standing in the doorway. I saw the shock in the eyes of the two and even Dane wondered who she was. "I was just going to say goodbye. I’ve finished the last song."
“Ok, come, sit down and join us." I offer but I hear Zeus scoff.
"Yara, do you still remember Phoenix and Blaze?" Zeus ask.
"Yeah, how can I forget Zeus' handsome friends."
"Hi, Yara! You're here in the Philippines too."
"Yeah, long time no see, Blaze."
"Ah, Yara! This is Dane, she's the one Zeus is telling you about who used to be the only girl of the group left here in the Philippines," I introduced her to Dane. Dane stood up to shake Yara's hand.
"Diana Dane Dy? Dylan's sister, right?" Yara asked. We looked at Zeus who frowned when she mentioned Dylan's name.
"Do you know my brother?"
"Yeah, I stay at his gym sometimes."
"I see."
"By the way gotta go, nice to see you all and nice to meet you, Dane, bye Zeus." Zeus just gave her a nod.
"So, she's Yara," Dane said and sat down then looked at Zeus.
"What?" He asked Dane angrily.
"Nothing, I changed my mind about the deal," Dane replied.
"What deal?" we asked at once.
"Huh? What deal? Did I say something about a deal?" As if she did say anything so we ignore her.
"What is Yara doing here? Isn't that rich? That brat used to be in college, isn't it?" Phoenix asked so we turned our attention to him.
"Jace, hired her," Zeus replied.
"That's not what I mean, dumbass, I mean, why did she suddenly become poor?"
"She said her parent's disowned her because she chose singing rather than being an architect."
"Isn't it, she didn't finish school?' I said. "When they broke up with Zeus, she also disappeared with Avel before, didn't she?"
"So?" Zeus said.
"Nothing," I answered.
"Remember what I said before about the right girl for Zeus?" Dane asked so we looked at her.
"Yes, you said the same to my wife," Phoenix replied.
"My bad, I missed that part."
"You mean?" the father of the birds asked again.
"Better it will be like Yara."
"Come on, Dane, she's my ex." He looked at Dane badly. "Everything is fine now, remember?" He widened his eyes at Dane.
"Love is sweeter the second time around."
"Nah, what's running on your mind, Dane, it won't gonna happen. I'll stick to my plan."
"You said so."
"Excuse me guys, just gotta go to the restroom," I said goodbye to them because the two seemed to be arguing that they were the only ones who can understand. I just pee and then came back but when I came out I bumped into someone.
"Sorry, Miss ---- Bree?"
"Jace?" She smiled at me.
"How are you?" we once question.
"You first," I said.
"I'm good, how are you?"
"It's ok too, Margot and I are ok and she forgives me."
"Yeah, I heard about what happened and I am sorry for that."
"No, no, I should be the one to apologize to you for what I did."
"No, it's not your fault, Jace. I'm pushing myself on you. I'm sorry, I missed you so much before so I didn't even think."
"No, Bree. I must be sorry to you. Because I became selfish and tied you up even though I knew our relationship had no destination. You couldn't move forward because I tied you." I saw her wipe away her tears and smile.
"I'm getting married. He knows about my past, and about us too. He accepts me and I feel that he loves me. It's different from my past."
"I'm happy for you. I mean it, Bree."
"Me too, I'm happy for you and send my regards to Margot."
"I will."
"Sweetheart." Brianna and I looked when someone called her.
"Oh, sweetheart come." A man immediately approached. "Sweetheart this is Jace, Jace this is Morgan, my fiancee."
"Hi," we both greeted and shook hands.
"Nice meeting you, Jace."
"Nice meeting you, too."
"Thank you for making Brianna happy when she was with you." I smiled at what he said. That’s just the beauty of other races. Somehow I was relieved because he seemed to love her so much.
"Please take care of her," I said.
"I will, I promise I will make her my queen." I smiled as he touched my shoulder.
"Thanks."
"We have to go, Jace, it's getting late, and we have a flight tomorrow."
"Take care both of you." Brianna looked at the boyfriend. It nodded at her and smiled and Brianna looked at me again.
"Can I have a last hug?" I looked at her boyfriend who nodded at me as well.
"Go on, man, no problem with me."
I hugged Brianna and she hugged me too. Honestly, I couldn’t get anything but the pleasure that she was happy to find what would really make her happy.
"Thank you, Jace. Thank you so much."
"Thank you, and take care of yourself. Sorry for everything." When we let go we were both smiling at each other.
"Let's go, sweetheart, bye Jace."
"Bye,"
Her boyfriend and I nodded, also waved. When I left I wiped away the tears while laughing. Maybe it’s really destined that it’s really in someone what’s happening to her. But any other explanation of other people in life is only one I am sure of. I am handsome and stupid. But I’m happy for Brianna.
I went back to my companions and said goodbye. The fools also followed me and went home. I happily drove home thinking my beautiful wife was definitely waiting for me. When I entered I found Margot in the room reading a book.
"Are you early? I thought you were coming home later?" I didn't answer and just hugged her
.
"Jace," She grabbed my back and gently stroked it. "Hey, something wrong?"
"I love you so much, Margot. 'Fuck, but I love you so much."
"What happened?" I plunged my head into her chest from the side so as not to pinch Juicy. "Fuck, I love you so much." I’m really stupid for thinking I love Brianna. The reaction I felt earlier when I saw her was no different from the reaction I felt when we first met back then that I thought was love.
Guilt.
I was guilty of leaving her then. And now when I saw her I was guilty because I tied her in the wrong situation so she couldn’t get on with her life. When I hugged her, my heart was so happy because someone really loves her. Luckily she met someone who would love her and I was happy there. As someone she once loved and now as a friend.
I looked up and stroked Margot's face. Damn, I want to cry. I just think that I almost lost her and Umami almost gone I felt like it was breaking my heart. I don't know if it was with alcohol but, fuck, my tears flowed one after another.
"Jace, are you okay?"
"I love you so much, Margot. I love you and our children."
"Jace, I don't know what happened to you. But I love you so much too."
I hugged her again and kissed her on the lips. I will never be stupid again. If I'm going to be stupid, it's to protect my family. I would be foolish to love my wife and child. It would be foolish to be submissive to my wife if that was the only way to not ruin my family because I knew I hadn’t made the mistake of loving. My wife is very smart but different when angry.
