SIBLINGS: Forbidden Love

Then you can gift them to me" Anna said indifferently and Melody's eyes were already red from anger and alcohol.

"Anna" Jason called and they both turned to face him "come with me" he said as he grabbed her by the hand and pull her away with him but not before casting Melody a warning glance.

"What happened?" He asked Anna as they made their way through the dancing students.

"She is angry because I didn't get you to be her date" she shouted over the music.

"That's why you need to consult me first before agreeing to any of this bullshit. I don't want anybody hurting you because of me, is that clear?" He shouted back. They had made their way to the other side of the room by then "here" he handed her a bowl of grapes "got them from Megan" he said in her ear before offering her a smile.

She smiled back to him "thanks" she said with a slightly raised voice for him to hear since she can't talk to his ear due to his height.

Jason smiled and popped a grape in his mouth "mm" was the sound he made as he picked another one "sweet" he reached for her mouth and she opened for him to put the grape "see?" He asked as she burst the grape in her mouth letting the juice settle on her tongue before she swallowed.

"Yea" she agreed while nodding and he picked another one and placed on his lips. It burst and a single line of the juice slipped from his lips down his throat. Her eyes followed the line the juice made down to his open chest. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat and had to swallow hard, her eyes locked on his chest. She felt the urge of kissing his chest or better still wiping away the juice but how is she going to do that without giving herself away?

She recalled herself immediately and looked up to see him looking at her too, there was tenderness in his eyes or more like passion? She couldn't name it but she was lost in those bright blue eyes of his. He blinked and then turned and walked away while she watched him leave.

Anna stood oh her own for what felt like hours and Jason did not return nor has she seen him anywhere around. She sighed as she thought on what could be his problem, she had already finished the grapes and was waiting for him to return the bowl but since he was no where to be seen, she decided to return it herself. Forcing herself through the crowds and almost approaching the kitchen, she caught a glimpse of his hair, she would know that anywhere. She looked closely and saw him talking to Megan with a brunette giving him a side hug.

She frowned, she knows every single soul in the house because she sees them in school except that brunette in his arms, is she Courtney, Megan's cousin? She figures it had to be her since she is the only stranger in the room. Watching as he was talking and laughing with the girls, she felt her heart breaking. Seeing the way his hand wrapped on the supposed Courtney shoulder, she felt cheated on and had to remind herself that they were not dating and most certainly won't.

She turned and walked away from the heartbreaking sight in time to hide her tears. Her hand reached to wipe away the traitor tears and she dropped the bowl somewhere on the floor. She can't actually tell why she is crying should she be asked and so have to hide it before someone sees it and had to report to Jason who would then come asking to know what's wrong with no idea that he is the reason.

Clearing her blurry eyes from tears, she saw Cash dancing and walked up to him "hey Cash."

The dancing blonde turned to look at her and smiled "hey Anna, wanna grant me my dance request?"

She smiled at that "sure" she replied as she let her hands circle his neck while his hand grabbed her waist as they both danced to the music. At the other end of the room, a pair of blue eyes was watching them as his hold tightened on the shoulder of the girl in his arm.

"Ouch" the girl said looking at him.

"Sorry" was his reply as he released his hold on her.

Anna danced with Cash for a little while as her mind was covered in thoughts of how happy her brother was while talking to Megan and her cousin, she often wonders why he has never had a girlfriend with the fact that the girls were always after him, neither has he answered whenever she asked except his usual 'none of them has captured my interest' yea right, she thought as she remembered the smiling brunette in his arms, she shook her head to fade away the image.

"You okay?" Cash asked.

She looked up at him and smiled "yea, just some unwanted thoughts."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Nah, not really" she smiled and he nodded, after a while she looked at him again "say, do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Cash looked at her puzzled, now that was not what he expected "um...you say what?"

"I said, do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"You want me to be your boyfriend?"

"Do you want to?"

Cash looked at her for while "yea, I would love that. That will be great" he smiled.

She smiled "good, come with me" she said as she grabbed his hand to drag him away with her.

"To where?"

"To see my brother, he needs to know my boyfriend."

"Em, Anna, do I need to remind you that I'm his classmate and he practically knows me."

"He knows you as his classmate not as my boyfriend."

"Well yea, that makes sense" he replied as she dragged him across the other side of the room to where he saw her brother chatting with Megan and the girl she introduced as her cousin to them a while ago, what is her name? Courtney he think.

Anna approached her brother and the girls while dragging Cash alongside her "hey Jason."

Jason turned to look at her at the sound of her voice and smiled "hey baby sis..." He was saying as he noticed Cash behind her and that she was practically pulling him over "what's going on?"

"Meet Cash."

"I know him, I see him everyday in school and class" he replied.

Anna smiled at that "my boyfriend."

Jason appeared shock but his eyes say differently "your what now?"

"I said my boyfriend" Anna repeated.

Jason looked at Cash for a while before looking at his sister again "oh. Okay then" he turned to the girls "please excuse me" he turned and walked away.

Anna's eyes followed him, why is he angry? She thought, it's not the first time she had introduced a guy to him as her boyfriend and he has never reacted like that before. She looked at Megan and her sister but they both thought it will be better if they shut up. She looked at Cash "please excuse me."

"Sure, take your time" he replied and she walked away in the same direction as her brother. She came out to the balcony to see him standing with his hands on his face.

"You okay?" She asked and he turned to look at her immediately.

"Just when did you start dating Cash?" He asked, his voice no where as gentle as it always is whenever he is talking to her.

She shrugged "this evening."

He chuckled at that and bit his lips "I brought you to a party and you went scouting for a boyfriend?"

Anna was shocked at the tone in his voice "I didn't go scouting for him. Cash has always wanted to be my boyfriend, all I did was just mainly asked and he agreed."

"You asked him? For crying out loud Anna, when will you learn?"

"Why are you angry with me, what did I do wrong?"

"Seriously, are you asking me that? You have done everything wrong Anna. First of all, you chose him to be your boyfriend, second of all, you asked him to and thirdly, for crying out loud, none of your relationships last. You always come home a week after it started in tears, and I will have to be the one to calm you down. Listen if you don't know then know now, I hate seeing you like that, it breaks my heart!" He shouted at her and she flinched, she couldn't control it but literally, it was the first time he has ever raised his voice on her for as long as she can remember.

She couldn't help it as the tears came pouring down, how can she tell him that it's because of him, how can she tell him that she has all those boyfriends to break up with them just to be in his arm?
