Connected like air on earth

Do you know what's worse from forming close friendships?

For me, it's the raw animosity that'll eat you up on the inside when, everything goes downhill.

No amount of time could bridge that gap. Not for me anyway.

"Hello?" I ask through the other side of the phone.

I was busy playing with my nephew and niece together with Damon when, the phone rang beside me, in the lounge area.

"Yo, ain't this little Andy talking?" The voice on the other side teased me with a light chuckle.

"If you could drop that 'little' comment then, I'll think about letting this conversation continue" I said to the person on the phone coldly.

"Still not admitting that you're younger than me?" Asked the stranger with a snicker infuriating me to no end. I really hate it when someone thinks they know me!.

"I still don't know who are you, though" I reminded him unceremoniously.

"Oh, shoot! I forgot that this is your new number and everything... This is Adam, your friend since college" Introduced the stranger expectantly.

"Why are you looking for me?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Bad day already? it's only Sunday, you know?" Said Adam friendly.

"I still didn't get the reason for this call" I said cutting through her happy moment.

I'm a very bitter person. I never forgets the bad thing that someone did to me. Ever.

"...The boys and I are having a Sunday night out, pop up at Powerz bar later tonight, We miss your skinny self" Invited Adam excitedly.

Just so, you can take me for a fool once again?. Yeah, didn't think so.

"I can't tonight" I replied dryly. I really had no intentions of getting together with snitching, manipulative, draining immature men like them.

"Huh?" I could tell that my reply stunned him more than the past me.

"I can't tonight, I have something planned tonight" I explained briefly, reluctantly though. But, I did it just for the sake of politeness.

"I'm talking to Anderson Sybil, right?" Asked Adam in a cautious tone.

"I have a life you know? So, I'd appreciate it if you'd respect my plans"I told him harshly instead of answering his question.

"Yeah, cool... Sorry, I guess I never thought you'd ever turn down an invitation" Adam said with a light chuckle but, I knew he was still in a shock by my previous replies.

He was so used to the slave dog that I was before. I'd rather drop everything at anytime just to have a fun time with the 'boys'. Bullshit! All I did was being their ATM withdrawal account for their 'good time'.

I never felt like I belong with them, I always felt like a stranger and add the fact that I was hiding my massive secret from homophobes.

I walked on eggshells all my life.

Not again!.

"I just did, thank you very much" I replied feel prouder than ever of myself when I sounded calm and didn't explode to him.

"Do we have any unsolved issues between us?" I heard Adam ask after some silence later.

"I wouldn't call it that but, I don't have time for this. I really got somewhere else I'd rather be right now... next time when my schedule is bored enough to squeeze you in guys, I'll let you know" I said casually through the phone.

"Okay, cool then, have a good day" He said in a distant tone.

"I wish you a blast on your Sunday night out, bye" I said before hunging up on him.

"Is everything okay?" Damon asked me just as I put the phone on the couch that I was leaning on with my back.

"Do you think I'm a petty person?" I asked Damon out of nowhere, when little lady came to climb on me, wailing. I had to stand up with her and rock her.

"Do you want to hear my biased reply?" Retorted Damon with his signature smirk making me laugh at that. He was already up with Jayden.

"It's been fucking three years since I last saw them..." I then went back into being sad. Was I suffering from bipolar?.

"And you don't want to again?" Asked Damon, worriedly.

"I really don't" I said shaking my head before sighing aloud. I was tired out of my body.

"Then, you don't have to force yourself" He told with those understanding eyes of his that makes me want to pounce on him right then and there.

"Andy!!!!!" I heard Antonia's voice before even seeing that flawless face of hers.

That really is my twin. We are just that, beautiful and I'm sorry that I'm not sorry for my good looks but, you could excuse my shamelessness.

"Here comes your crazy sister from hell" Said Damon dryly with a shrug.

"Stop it" I scolded as I gave her my warm smile.

"And how did you dare to let this demon hold my beautiful Jayden?" Gasped Antonia when she took in the situation in front of her.

"They sort of started to bawl and as you can see I only got two hands and one chest for only one of them so..." I explained with a shrug.

"How can you say they were bawling? My sweet little angels..." Antonia cooed to her son before she kissed him while he was still in Damon's arm coming to her daughter for the same fix.

"So, here you were" Said Troy before thanking Ceci for her help.

"Troy, my man!" Damon greeted Troy unnecessarily loud and fist bumping after.

"Looking good in casual clothes, I see" Snickered Troy earning a playful shove from Damon.

"No harm in tempting my baby here" Said Damon pointing at me.

"Stop being cheesy will you?" I told him when I knew for sure just how much red my face got at that moment.

"Any food available?" Interjected Antonia impatiently.

"Teety!" Gasped Troy whom, by his reaction, it seems he fed her before coming to my house.

"What? I'm breastfeeding! I need all the food in the world" Justified Antonia taking Hailey from me and handing her to Troy before dragging me in the direction of our kitchen stunning our husbands.

"Oh, dear big brother I really miss your cookings" Gushed Antonia just as I opened the refrigerator.

"Uh oh" I said with alarms ringing in my ears.

"What?" Asked Antonia, frightened.

"You just called me big brother, that surely means you want something from me!" I explained with accusing glare, preparing an avocado juice for her.

"Excuse you!... I got everything I need with me!" She said with an air of confidence when we both know that's bullshit.

"Antonia wickedy bitch? Just felt like acknowledging my status? The earth is flat" I told her dryly.

"Okay, Guilt as charged" She said with a sheepish attitude.

"Spit it out!" I demanded, blending the fruits.

"Okay, here goes... Remember the urgent meeting I was running to this morning?" She asked excitedly making me laugh at her comical behaviors.

"Yeah, and what was the conclusion on that meeting anyway?" I asked for the update.

"Don't remind me! Those fucktards were planning on flushing ten billions a year contract in the toilet just because of their prejudices on 'homosexuality', Like hey, people I'm never satisfied when it comes to money!" She said with vividly anger on her face.

"I can't imagine how much you spited at those old fools" I said with a small laugh. Antonia can get crazy and all over the place when it comes to money wastage when she's the biggest waster herself. Ironic.

"You're right on that one, dear big brother... Bunch of backward thinking fools! If it was seen that the world was ending with gays, It will end with gays! With or without acknowledging that they exist and they are humans, family, and quite loaded..." She said the last part meaningfully looking back at me.

Does what she wants got something to do with Damon's money?. This was bad.

"What's your point, Teety? Don't drain my brain river" I told her dryly, rolling my eyes at her before serving her juice and placing little ice in her glass.

"You want a straw with it?" I asked handing her the glass which she nodded and went on her dramatic gasp, "Who'd dare?"

"I got to learn today that my handsome, honorable, awesome from heaven to down earth all year round brother-in-law is connected like air on earth!" She said excitedly after I handed her the straw and she used just the second after.

"Wow, from 'Demon' to all that? I'm intrigued" I said leaning on the kitchen table curiously.

"You remember sparkles Jewellery online group?" Asked Antonia, drinking her juice in a light speed. Maybe, she really was hungry after all.

"The one company that makes us bite on our nails to wait for the launch of their designs each season just so it can bleed us millions?" I replayed robotically.

"Oh, what an amazing big brother that I have! That's the same one and do you know that it's in partnership with Skies Go?" Asked Antonia getting more and more excited, she even had to cover her mouth to hold her excitement.

"You don't say" I gasped shocked beyond words. But, I too was excited by that.

Does that mean, I don't have to wait? I can just...Oh, My God. Where has Damon been all my life?.

"I am. And it fucking doesn't end there!" She said slapping the counter excitedly. That must've hurt.

"Tell me more!" I told her coming to sit so close to her.

"A day before launch day, of every season, the shareholders get to take what they desire the most from the design presented!" She said practically shouting full of glee.

"Just imagining it makes me quite hard" I blurted out without thinking.

"Ew, I really didn't want to know! Gross!" She said dryly with disgust on her face.

"So, how about we take some twin bracelets? How about watches? Earrings? Necklaces? Please... please... please...!" Came Antonia's doe sad eyes working a number on me.

"I really don't know if I'll even be told to go there" I told her with a sigh. Feeling dejected myself.

"Just ask him" Urged Antonia hopefully.

"He didn't even tell me about this himself when he knows just how much I love the glitters. How sure are you that he'll ever want to take me there?" I asked sadly.

"Useless trash" Commented Antonia, finishing up her glass of juice altogether.

"Ah Hah! Now, this is the real you!" I said like I've discovered platinum.

"Whatever" She said with a shrug but, she really was angry and dissapointed.

"Trouble in paradise?" Damon asked with a chuckle, coming to kiss my head lightly.

"Troy honey love?" Called Antonia, ignoring Damon's mocking comment... so sweetly that I was sure I felt ulcers forming in my stomach and a shudder pass through my body just as fast but, my reaction wasn't heartbreaking than Troy's.

The man was so frightened that his face was working a second per miles, eyeing me to feel him in on what made his wife that happily mad... he even choked on his own saliva before tripping on air when she called him to her.

"Please, take me home, baby love" She pleaded with a cute aggrieved pout and he had no options others than obliging.

"What about your food?" I asked aloud as they made their way outside my kitchen.

"Eat it yourself, selfish cu_ coconut!" She replied with a yell.

"Your children's bag?" I asked again after I was done washing my hand.

"My husband is not that poor" She yelled once more and I knew she was already near the front door.

"I'm telling on you to Dad. You're not being economical!" I yelled back at her with amusement.

"Duck you!" She said and if I could see then, I'd have seen that middle finger raised in the air just for me.

"What's wrong?" Asked Damon, coming to undress my apron.

"Tell me you'll take me to Sparkles" I demanded seriously.

"... That's why I rescheduled the lunch date to be a dinner date, just so, I could take you with me" He explained adoringly and I fell more in love for him.

"Oh. My. God! I just scored gold!" I claimed excitedly before kissing that stupidly rich husband of mine. Hard and delicious.

"Were you one of their loyal customers there?" Asked Damon curiously, with his lips swollen and damp from our kiss.

"A 'Royal' one" I replied trailing my lips from his ear, to his cheeks then his jaws before focusing on that neck of his.

"How about we make half of the company be under your name?" He proposed casually and I swear I saw my spirit leave my body and look back at me for a millisecond before returning back inside.

"Boy, you're tripping!" I said not wanting to believe that a person can just hand you over a billions worth of shares just like that.

"Try me" He said chuckling just inches from my lips.

"Let's go to our room, baby boy... I want to feel your skin on mine!" I whispered to him dangerously low and did I tell you, I was hard? Yes, I needed some vision blurring moment.

"Hallelujah!" He breathed before he carried me and we started kissing like two hormonal teenagers.

"Make sure I won't feel my legs afterwards" I told him as I gasped for air and he shook his head at me.

"No!" He said in a gruff voice, his eyes red.

"You don't want to fuck me or giving me that fifty percent shares of the company?" I asked getting sober by the minute.

"You told me to ask you when I'm sober will you please_!" He explained and I had to kiss his thoughts away when, I got what he was trying to tell me.

"Yes! Damon, yes. There was no need for you to shout the words out loud. I can hear your heart" I told him between short kisses.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Uh huh!"

"What is it saying right now?"

"Why aren't we in our room yet, gorgeously naked?"

"You know me too much Love"

"I guess we really are soulmate"

"No talking, Love. Spoil me with your kisses"

"Just like that?"

"What the fuck are you doing with my belt this out in the open?... Damon!... Damon!... You fucking retardant!"
