Shouldn't Have Kissed You

Chapter 50

She was the last person he expected to see when he knocked on this door. But there she stood with

her mouth open. She still looked beautiful like the last time when he had seen her. The last time. It was

among his worst day in his live but who was to be blame for it being the worst. It was him and no one

else. He saw the hurt in her eyes those years ago and the same hurt was evident to him at that

moment.

It was his fault but right now he didn't needed to think about her. He had thought of her for too long than

he cared to admit to himself. Of course he wanted to pull her into a hug at that moment but he

restrained himself from doing that. He no longer had any right of her. Not any more. She sure must

have moved on from the past. The past that he hadn't even taken a step from. In fact he had no idea of

how to.

Phil looked away from the woman that he had no idea that he had been staring since she walked to

them. It was such a shame that she would be the first person who saw her again. Just like when he left

many years ago. She was the last person who also saw him. And those begging? It had broken him

before he even got up and walked away. It still hurt and forever hurt. But he wasn't here to think of this.

He was here to meet his baby sister. His reason for surviving in every battle that he went.

But he wasn't sure anymore. Sure if he deserved to be called big brother anymore. Sure if he was

needed in her life anymore. She was already married without him being around. When he was growing

up he thought that he would be the one handing her over to her husband. But things changed and it

seemed that he was the reason why everything changed around him. It hurt so far and he didn't know

how long it would take but one thing he was sure of begging for her forgiveness.

Yes, he would crawl on his knees if that was needed. He would also kill just to have his little sister

back. But he hadn't seen her come through that door. She was supposed to be curious as to why the

two were taking so long to walk back in the house. But as far as he could remember his sister she

never was the curious type. The only time that she ever got curious was when their father mistreated

her. When he put those damn knives through her body.

She wanted to know why he hated her so much. Why her father showed love to him and not her. Why

she got punished for things that kids can't be punished for. That's why she kept asking if she was an

adopted kid. The first time she asked that she was only four years old. Yes, she was four and he was

only ten years old. And to be honest it hurt him. Hurt him that his blood sister even knew the meaning

of adopted and how some families treated adopted kids. And when he asked about how she knew that

she said she had heard the word on television.

Of course, this technology is teaching kids things that parents are not teaching kids. That's why a three

year old kid already knows how to swear. Not because he heard any of the parents do that but its

because they heard it on television. And if parents don't limit their kids to internet and what to watch on

it then we're raising a different generation here.

Maya was his reason for putting up with their father. She was the reason why he had hung around for

so long. Why he had put up with his father for those years. She was why he even got the strength to

one day get up and walk on his father and her. As much as it sounds messed up he knew it was for his

own good and Maya's or so he thought. He was done with his work at that time. His promise to their

mother as well and it was time he found something new for him to do. Wait, it wasn't something new, it

was something that he always wanted to do. And that's why he left without saying goodbye to her.

That's why he wrote that letter instead of facing her.

How do you face someone who thought that you'll forever be around them and tell them that you're

leaving. He couldn't do it. He wasn't a man enough to see the hurt in his sisters face. He wasn't and

that's why he snack in her room that night when she was asleep and said his good bye. That's why he

never walked out of his room when he heard he walk by just like he did every morning. And that's why

he left the letter on the night stand where she could notice it when she came back from school. That's

why he left before she even came back.

All the memories where flooding back to him and he could not stop them. How could he when he hadn't

let them occupy his mind since the day he left? He hadn't even talked about his past with anyone in the

army and neither anyone from the past. He tried to communicate but he never got any feedback from

anyone. He really did but when the others received letters from their families he got none despite his

trial...

"Please come in, Phil." Chris his sister's husband said bring him back to present. Chris moved aside to

allow him in but Kyle didn't attempt to move.

Of course he knew his name. Who didn't know Phil Freeman anyway? When you parent is famous

despite you wanting to be undercover kid, you always get known to the public. That's how his life and

his sister's was. First the ids of the best doctor the country then the kids of the best governor in the

country. If only they knew that he wasn't the best father. He would never be when it comes to his family.

Mean, which kind of a father makes one kid special and the other an outcast when they're blood?

Which kinda father allows his kid to suffer in a boarding school? He was mean and he will forever be

mean to them. Anyway, paparazzi did their homework very well in exposing them to the world. Of

course with the help of their father.

"Kyle, our visitor has to come in." Chris called looking at the glued Kyle.

Phil watched Kyle move away as she could just to allow him pass. He read her facial expression and

he would be lying if he said it didn't hurt what he saw in it. It was terrible that she hated him and now

she didn't want to come into any conduct with him. Phil let his legs carry him inside the house but no

one followed behind. Instead he heard the whispering from behind him and he didn't understand why.

"Hey," Phil greeted the elder man who stood at the sitting area. "I'm Phil Freeman." He introduced

himself before the rest would walk in.

But there was something that confused him till now. Why couldn't he see his sister anywhere? And

that's when it hit him, she had to be at work right? Mean, she was a doctor as far as her nanny had told

her the previous day when he had chosen to call home when he got back. Good they hadn't changed

their house number yet or he would have been forced to meet his dad.

It wasn't the time yet. Not when he had no idea if his sister loved him yet. So to him the old man could

wait or die waiting cause he didn't care at all. Not or any time soon.

"Please have a sit." Chris said once they're in the living room the Kyle by his side. "What would like me

to offer you?"

He was an a soldier and he knew when something was wrong and right now he could tell. He could tell

that there was something wrong. It was so very much wrong and he just preferred to go straight to the

point. That's not how he had be trained in the army. He was trailed to fight to the death and only the

strong one to survive. He did not say he survived because he was strong, it was by Grace of the Lord.

The grace that his mum taught him when he was young. The one that he never believed until he

became a soldier. the one his mum would be proud of if she learned that he believed in it at the time.

His mum. How much he missed that woman. He would give his life just to see her one last time. To

watch her smile at him as she used to. Teach him the things that she had promised to teach him before

she died. He wanted her to be there for them. Him and his sister. In fact, she needed her mother more

than he did. But the good people are the one who die early than the bad ones.

His dad was a bad person when it came to family and he was still breathing. He wanted Phil to be a

doctor like he was but that wasn't Phil's dream. It wasn't despite him knowing why his mother died. And

when he heard that Maya had become a doctor yesterday, he couldn't be proud and at the same time

sad. What if her dad forced her to be who he was? What if she didn't want to do this but still did it for

him?

"He seems fine to me." Kyle said sitting the opposite side of him. Still mad at him. "I thought you died."

He deserved that. "Still alive and kicking as you can see." His voice was as dry as he thought it was

possible to be.

Kyle lifted her left feet and placed it on top of the other. "Just that we held a mass for you when you

died in our lives." There was bitterness in her voice. "You know, when you turned you back on us?"

Phil watched Chris look at Kyle in confusion as he thought of what was happening. Maybe he had no

idea of what was happening between the two of them. that they were an it...

"Kyle, what are you talking about?"

Kyle turned to look at Chris, " Don't worry, it was years ago and I'm over it as you can see." She locked

her eyes with Phil. "I mean, I was in high school. So I'm so done with that."

Phil sat up right. "I know, that's why I came looking for my sister." He did not break his eye contact with

hers. "And since when have been going to catholic? No I'm asking the wrong question, since when did

you start going to church?"

Kyle was fuming like really fuming. "Since you left m..."

"Can you tell me where my sister works Mr. Rollins, I mean if you don't mind."

"How about you visit her in prison, you prick."

He saw it. He wasn't supposed to hear that but he did or wasn't allowed to know that way. Whatever it

was it happened. It did and he couldn't believe his ears. His little sister was in prison and for what? Was

his father behind this? Was he the reason behind his sister's arrest. Because if he was he wasn't going

to spare him one bit. He wasn't going to even think of anything else but make his pay. Pay for all those

years that his sister suffered because of him. Pay for ever accusing his sister of murder. He was going

to pay with his life.

Maya could never even kill a fly in her life. And what was Kyle doing here with her best friend's

husband? Were they cheating on his sister? Were they taking her for fool? Is that why Kyle was acting

as if she owned the house? It even made him insane just thinking of it.

"Are you two screwing behind my sister's back?" That wasn't what he wanted to ask but his mouth had

a mind of its own.

And the answer? It was a hard slap. Really hard one. He even hadn't seen Kyle move from her seat to

him. Maybe he deserved that but now that the question was out he had to have his answers.

Chris was on his feet as well. "Mr. Freeman, we're not that much..."

"Don't explain yourself Chris." Kyle cut him short. "He never thinks before saying anything or doing

anything. Its an old habit and they're hard to stop them. Trust me."

That may have been true about him. He loved to assume things before he even thought clearly about

them. But what would he have done. His sister was in prison and this two where in her house. You can't

blame him for worry. Worry about his sister's marriage . It wasn't his fault if you asked him.

"Chris," The man who was long forgotten called for there attention. "We've to talk to Maya before her

hearing bond starts."

"What did my sister do?"

"Why do you care?" Kyle again. "Why not ask you absent self and answer it."

He was about to talk when Chris bit him to it.

"She is accused of hit and run." He answered looking nowhere but at Phil. "She took someone else

fault."

"And why would my sister do that?"

"Because she thinks of others before she thinks of herself unlike you."

"Kyle can you grow up for a while?"

"GROW UP? Was I the one who left..."

"We are talking about the present here. Not the past woman."

"OUCH!" Kyle exclaimed looking away from them.

"Maya thought that she was saving unborn kid which is stupid of her..."

Chris went on to tell him of everything. He had missed so much in those years but he was back now.

He was there for his sister. He thought his father would change. He thought that Maya would be happy

for once in this life when he left but its like it got was. Of course they left some details but he

understood why. Maybe they weren't meant for his ears some of them or the time didn't allow it.

"I can talk to her." He said once they were done with the story. "She will listen to me when she sees

me."

"I think he is right Chris. She can listen to him."

"And where is the cuprite?"

"No one has heard of her since last Friday."

"We've to find her as soon as we can, for now we go with your story Chris. She will listen to me."

"Lets go then."

What was he going to do when he saw his sister? What she going to do when she saw him? Would she

behave like her best friend? Will she shout at him? What will happen to them? Will he save his sister or

is it too late for saving?

Just when they were about to walk out Chris' phone rung. He excused himself to pick it up. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Wes, what's up?" Chris looked at Kyle while listen on the other side.

"No, my television is off, why are you asking?"

He listen for a bit longer before he said, "Why shouldn't I watch it and why should I wait before you

come, Wesley?" He looked at Kyle who was walking towards the remote. "Kyle is here and she is fine."

Chris looked at everyone in the room.

"Wes, what's going on..."

His phone fell down the moment his eyes landed on the television. Kyle screamed and that had Phil

look at the television.
