Chapter 50

Liliana's pov :
"I guess everyone knows that we are not together, still you are inviting me? Are you sure? Your boyfriend didn't refuse you to invite me...?" Alex asked with no curiosity, his face expressed how casually he was asking as if it didn't matter for him.
Just one lie was being so heavy on me that I was feeling like when this burden will be away from my heart and shoulders…!
"But we are still friends, right? Lia will feel good if you would come to this party and it doesn't matter what happened between you guys, and why will Jay put the burden of his decisions on Lia?" Fiona got me and helped me.
I also should make him believe whatever Fee said, "of course! He never talks about you," I uttered while giving a bright smile.
"That's the thing, no one is missing me. Either I'm there or not, it doesn't affect anyone. He doesn't even like to talk about me," he smirked. "Then, he won't like to see me on your birthday. But I'll surely come to show him that I also don't care anymore."
What the fuck was he splattering! It didn't make any sense to me, this couldn't be Alex who was always funny, chirpy, and clumsy.
He was thinking like a creepy man, I was about to say that but Fee secretly pinched my hand, and when I looked at her, she indicated to me to be silent.
"Why don't you come with your date?" Fee did a good job because somewhere I felt that she was the reason behind that mess.
His bushy eyebrows raised a little, "you don't know why we separated, huh?" We looked at each other like he discovered our secret.
"Jay and George didn't tell you the reason, you didn't nag your boyfriends?" He looked at us one by one.
Before he could ask more questions and I would give up on the lie and spit the truth, I tried to say the fact, "I don't nag my boyfriend, I trust him and he just said that he doesn't want any question about this thing and I don't like to snatch the privacy of anyone so," I shrugged.
Instantly his expressions changed and guilt brimmed over his eyes but the look quickly disappeared, "Bella! She is my girlfriend and we are dating."
What?
I wanted to ask him everything but all I wanted was the reunion so I stayed quiet.
"Why are you publicizing it, Al?" A peeved voice echoed in the hallway.
I turned to see who this girl was, a blonde girl was standing at the door and giving the you-have-to-come-to-me attitude. Alex stood up from the couch and started walking to that blonde girl, he fumbled with the table, and as an outcome, he fell on Fee.
"What the hell, Al!" She ran to him with her tick-tocking heels, Alex looked at her with widened eyes, "I'm sorry, baby! It's just that I..., I stumbled with this stupid table," he stammered.
Oh! She is that bitch! Alex's girlfriend!
But why doesn't she want anyone to know that he is dating her? It means they were probably in a secret relationship, oh my God! Alex did hide it and that's why…!
"Excuse me! You should apologize to me, hmm?" Fee rolled her eyes and Alex stood up, "sorry, Fiona!"
This bitch must be crazy, why should Alex apologize to her if he just fell on another girl by mistake. It was a pure mistake, nothing else! Though he apologized, it means something is not right.
"Yeah, Al! You should apologize to her, not to me. I know you won't cheat on me, you are mine," she threw herself on Alex and gave us a cocky smile.
"She is right, you are his only," Fee exclaimed and looked at Alex who was busy hugging his crotchety girlfriend.
Fee and I looked at each other and frowned, "she is a..." Fee muttered and I got it, "bitch," We both jabbered.
Alex was about to say something but Bella blocked his lips.
Wasn't she the same girl who was asking why he was publicizing their relationship and then, she started kissing him when we both were still there?
She was stroking his neck shamelessly, Alex grabbed her by her waist and she climbed on him while pressing her tongue against his lips.
"I can't believe this, are we supposed to enjoy this free show?" Fee whispered in my ear and I giggled.
We diverted our gaze to the other side but her moan again caught our attention. Were they having sex in our presence?
This thought made me feel embarrassed and cheeky. I cleared my throat to remind them that we were still there.
"You can look here, girls. We aren't kissing anymore," her voice appeared in a moan.
I looked at her, she was still glued to Alex. "I came here to invite your boyfriend to my birthday party, and fortunately, I've met you so I would be glad if you could join us," I gave her an oh-please-come smile.
"But we have a date tomorrow, right Al?" Bella glanced at him innocently. "Okay, we'll come anyway," she again grinned at me.
"I knew you'll yield for it, I'm so lucky to have you, sweetheart." Alex gave a small pack to her lips. "By the way, this is my girlfriend, Bella. And Bella, this is Lia and Fiona, my friends." He introduced us like we couldn't guess that she was his girlfriend.
She blushed and lowered her head like an eleven-year-old girl.
"Then, we'll leave first!" Fee rose from the couch and so did I.
I also played my role, "nice to meet you, Bella! Bye, guys! See you tomorrow, then!"
"Let me see you off, girls!" Bella started walking towards us while smiling brightly.
"Stay away from him! He is mine and I won't tolerate your cheap flirting with him," Bella shot a threatening look at us.
Fee hid behind me, "Lia, I'm trembling in fear." We chuckled while looking at each other.
"You are a bitch," she cursed a bit loudly.
We again giggled, "you are so funny, bitch! Yes, we are bitch but we don't wear a fake facade of being nice." Fee answered her.
"Do you think that you'll be able to get him?" She peered at Fiona with her squinted eyes.
"Who wants him?" Fiona sighed. "I'm already taken so be assured! No one is hitting on your boyfriend."
Bella smirked, "I'll surely come with Alex tomorrow." She flipped her hair and stepped inside the house.
Fee scowled, "let's go shopping! I need to blow off the steam."
"Why? We can go to a movie or any games...?" I pleaded.
"No! Are you coming or should I go alone and decide your outfit by myself?"
I sighed and shook my head.
After shopping like a maniac for five hours, I returned home and slept until I was called for dinner.
"Lily, I heard you got a jackpot, is it true?" As soon as I came out of my room, I found Robert standing at the door and waiting for me.
"Which jackpot?" I started walking towards the stairs. "Why didn't you come into my room and wait here to ask this question?"
He suppressed his lips as I caught him off guard. "You were sleeping and I didn't want to disturb you. You have a boyfriend?" He inquired me in a surprising tone.
"Since when did you start caring for me? And yes, I've got that jackpot." I sighed and got what he was trying to say in his sarcastic attitude.
He was stepping down the stairs behind me, "I know I have been a monster brother to you but…," he stopped strolling.
"Do you need my help?" I turned to look at him and smirked.
"Um, yes!" He made his puppy eyes.
I couldn't be more delighted, it was my time to take revenge and he will do whatever I will order him.
"First of all, bow your head and repeat after me, madam Liliana, please, help me!" I smiled like a devil.
To my wonder, he did even without complaining. How the prince could be so sincere and obedient!
I smelled something serious so I folded my arms, "don't tell me that you have done murder of somebody!" I gawked at him with my narrowed eyes.
He was sweating, a drop fell from his head and he swiped it promptly. "No! More serious than that!"
"Robert, tell me fast! Otherwise, I'll die of anxiety."
He came closer to me, "I, I'm gay. I feel attracted to boys."
"Fuck off! You never told me that thing before and why are you telling me this? You never shared anything with me ever, why didn't you go to your mother or your cool friends whom you liked more than me?" I shrugged.
He clasped my wrist and walked upstairs. I didn't protest because I was curious to know the reason.
Robert walked me to my room and closed the door, "wait! You are not doing any fucking prank, are you?" I bounced my shoulders.
"Fuck, no! I'm in a dilemma and depressed, I can't do anything properly. In the last test, I nearly failed but I managed to get the passing marks. Lily, I have expectations from you only that you will understand me," he sat on the floor.
I never saw him that broken, however, he was but still, he is my brother. And if he is in depression, I must help him out.
"Why didn't you go to mom?"
When he didn't answer, I settled my ass on the floor and caressed his back to console him.
"Lily, she says that I shouldn't tell anyone, not even you. Being gay of mine will disgrace our family," he hugged his knees and hid his head between his chest and knees.
I knew that the Queen always thinks of reputation first but I thought she loved her son more than anything else.
"It's fine, Robert! You know mom is crazy, don't worry! I will support you, and your sexuality doesn't affect the reputation of the Watson family. Even if this is what our mom thinks, we'll make her change her thinking."
"She had said that if I'll come out as gay, she will never see my face again and I'll be kicked out from this home."
"If that's the matter, I'll come with you and we'll live in another place. Trust me, she loves you too much to hurt you! It's just her stupid mentality, nothing else!"
He tilted his head and looked into my eyes, "no, Lily! She has promised me that she'll follow her words at any cost." Robert cried out and the tears started rolling down his cheeks.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and you'll come out as gay in front of our family at the dinner. I'll support you, now stop crying like a kid." I wiped his tears off with my fingers.
He smiled, "I always misbehave with you yet you are helping me, why?"
"Because you are my bloody, asshole sibling," I rolled my eyes. "Don't expect any sympathy from me! And don't flirt with my boyfriend ever otherwise, I'll kill you."
Robert started chuckling and I joined him in laughing.
Life is uncertain. I never imagined that this will happen one day, he'll cry and open his greatest secret to me. We were enemies but now, we are taking a step towards friendship. I cherish my sibling because somewhere, we loved teasing each other.
