Of course not.
I walked over to him and stopped by his side to look down at Wavel. She was on the couch, lying on her stomach with a book in front of her. Her feet were in the air and crossed at the ankles. She was wearing a white satin dress that barely covered her, and her long, wavy hair was falling gently down her shoulders and back.
He was right. She was beautiful. But I looked the exact same. “If it was me down there, you wouldn’t know it.”
“I would know. Do you really think I can’t tell you girls apart? I don’t even have to look at you. Your scent is enough for me to tell which one of you is who.”
I frowned and moved my gaze to him. “That’s creepy.”
“You know what’s creepy? You following me around like a damn obsessed stalker. That’s fucking creepy and I wished you wouldn’t do that shit.”
“You’re a hypocrite,” I muttered.
“Say that again.”
“You’re a fucking hypocrite. You do the same with Wavel. You follow her around. You watch her. At least I get something out of it. You don’t.”
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying that she will never notice you. Not the way you want her to. She doesn’t love you the way you love her.”
Sly turned his head to look at me. He hadn’t expected me to say that, and he suddenly wasn’t as confident as before.
“And why the hell would I believe you?”
“Because she told me.”
“Liar.” He shook his head and turned to look down at her again.
“Why would I lie? We talked and she told me she doesn’t love you that way. It would be strange anyway. You can’t be in love with your sibling.” Now I was the hypocrite. But I didn’t care. If this was one way to make him feel like shit, then I would run with it.
“Shut the fuck up, Caia. You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I knew all too well.
But just like him, I didn’t want to accept the truth. I couldn’t be in love with him. Even if he loved me back, it wouldn’t be normal.
“It’s immoral, Sly.” I was testing him now. If he would’ve been the one telling me all these things after I admitted being in love with him, he would’ve said worse. “And by the way…she met a guy.”
Sly looked at me again with a serious expression. “Stop fucking around, Caia. Go play.”
Go play.
“I’m not a child,” I shot back with a raised brow.
“I want you to leave me alone. You’re talking shit and for no reason at all.”
“I’m not talking shit. She told me she met a guy online. His name is Jack and they have been talking to each other for a while now. She likes him. And she doesn’t love you. She was appalled when I asked her if she loved you back.”
“Why would you even ask her that? God, Caia, you’re a fucking psycho!” He ran his hands through his hair and paced the floor with a stressed expression.
“I’m telling you what she told me. I don’t want you to get hurt. You can’t love her. It’s not okay to love a sibling like that, Sly. Maybe it’s best if you talk to someone about this. I think you might be sick—”
“I’m not sick!” He wrapped his hand around my throat and pinned me against the railing as his voice echoed around us. “Stop trying to manipulate me. You’re sick! And lonely. But that’s not my fucking problem so stop messing with me, you hear me?”
His fingers and thumb were digging into the sides of my neck as I held my breath. He was staring into my eyes, and I knew without him having to say another word that he was upset and angry.
Someone had to tell him the truth. How else would he ever understand that Wavel was not the right sister for him?
