Page 3 of Jealousy Jealousy

He was standing with his back to me, and I watched him as he pulled down his boxers, positioning himself, then I saw the yellow stream between his thighs. My eyes stayed there.

I pursed my lips and tried to think of something else to say. Something that would spark up a conversation. But I couldn’t come up with anything. Nothing that wouldn’t make him look at me with a frown. So I stayed quiet and kept admiring his backside.

I found myself chewing on my bottom lip when he was finished, and after he washed his hands, he turned to me with a deep crease on his forehead.

“You need help, Caia.”

I was all ears.

I moved to sit up. The foam was still covering me, but I moved my arms over the water, making all the bubbles move. “I know,” I told him. “Will you help me?”

Sly slowly shook his head. “Professional help. Ask Dad.”

“Dad won’t help me.”

“Did you ask him?”

I shrugged. He sighed.

“How do you expect someone to help you if you don’t ask for it?”

“I asked you.”

“And I told you no.”

I furrowed my brows. “You’re the only one who knows how to help me, Sly.”

“I don’t know shit, Caia. You’re messed up. And I’m too busy taking care of other things. Important things.”

Jealousy.

Jealousy.

Stupid jealousy!

“You mean people.”

“What?”

“Not things but people. Like Wavel. You’re too busy loving her so you can’t help me. She’s not sick anymore, you know?”

He started shaking his head as he ran his hands through his hair. “What the hell are you talking about, Caia?”

“You don’t want to help me because you don’t love me.”

He laughed, and I raised a brow.

“Tell me I’m wrong.”

“You’re fucking sick.”

“THEN WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME?!” My words were louder than I had wanted them to be, and they startled us both.

Sly stared at me with wide eyes, fearing I could’ve woken Mom or Wavel, or disturbed Dad downstairs.

He took a step closer and placed both his hands on the bathtub, leaning in closer until his face was in front of mine. I could see the anger in his eyes, and in this light, they looked as mysterious as ever.

“Because you made yourself sick.”
