Chapter 12 - Don`t forget about your dutchess.
Angelo Le roux.
"Why are you doing this Angelo ?" my sister Alma hissed at me.
"Doing what ?" I acted innocent.
"You know what am saying you idiot !" I rolled my eyes running my hands through my hair.
"You have broken her heart too many times before without even realizing it sometimes because you have never cared. You ruined her once please don't ruin her again." Alma genuinely said.
"Your point is ?" I grabbed her cup of coffee and drank from it then gave her back. Not my type of coffee.
"Stop Angelo just stop with your games, stop leading her on." She spat.
"What ?!? Fuck no she is the one leading me on." I exclaimed.
"Oh right I believe you." She crossed her arms with a sly grin of mocking across her face.
"Why do you always act like she is the victim..." I said frustrated.
"Because she is. Wasn't it three months ago when you told her off, now you are climbing out of her bed. Stop taking advantage of her need to seek your approval."
"You are so convinced that she is still in love with me but no she doesn't care about me, in fact he hates my guts.."
Its true, Raina hates me...I pretended like what she has been saying doesn't hit a nerve but it does every damn time.
"That doesn't matter, fact is you two are like toxic to each other. If you complicate your relationship and you have two beautiful kids together...it will not only affect you but Ashton and Ashley too."
I was suddenly in deep thoughts, I'm confused I don't know what am doing or why am doing it. I'm just acting on gut feeling.
"Ah yes, don't forget about your Duchess." She crossed her arms narrowing her gaze at me, well I don't know why she hates Yaya but she just does, although I think as time going by they will eventually like each other.
"Angelo do you even love the poor girl ?"
I had been quiet for a while not knowing what to say. I wanted to say I love her but every time I tried my lips trembled. I have always had a hard time lying to Alma, she was my best friend and sister ...she read me like an open book.
"I'm sorry if I'm putting words in your mouth, I'm sure you do. I guess I will just have to like her because I have a feeling you are serious about her..."
"Alma... Stop please, I need to talk to Raina can you come back later. I have a feeling this will be a long discussion." I stood up towering over her 5'5 frame.
"Are you kidding me right now A ?"
I chuckled a bit, it had been a while since she called me 'A'.
Suddenly Raina came running in my favorite outfit, black pencil skirt, white silk blouse and heels.
She is still the same girl, I made love to in the office.
Then I remembered what she earlier... 'Don't call it that, it's fine you won't hurt my feelings if you called it a meaningless fuck like it has always been'
It's official she hates me.
"Raina, are you okay ?" Alma suddenly looked concerned.
"Uhm okay, I just really need to go right now. New evidence from my Derrick case has been found." She grinned showing off her pearly whites while tying her hair in a pony tail.
How beautiful is this woman ?
"I mean this is the break through, I have been waiting for..." She said excited.
"Well that's great." I muttered.
"Raina you always win every case." Alma shrugged.
"This one is different Alma, besides I really think Derrick is innocent...oh right I need to call Grayson." She looked around for her phone.
"Angelo please take care of my babies until Maya comes to pick them up...uh Alma I promise we will talk soon." She hugged my sister.
"Good luck but I know you don't need it...you are that good." I genuinely said as our eyes locked for moment before she broke it off, knowing her she probably thinks I'm a liar.
"Yeah thanks." She blushed slightly grabbing her keys and document bag. Alma eyed me for a brief moment as soon as Raina left, she smirked at me.
"That's my cue...sis." I gave her a sly grin, well Alma and I weren't identical twins but we had the same green eyes. "Angelo my one and only arrogant twin just complimented the woman who he despises?"
I simply shrugged before saying..."I always do, stop making it a big deal."
"Yes you do but right now you genuinely meant it or is it because you came from fucking her gosh mom has to hear this..." She snickered.
"Don't you dare tell mom and secondly my sex life has nothing to do with you." I snapped. "or mom-"
"It does have everything to do with me because the girl you are toying with is my best friend."
"It's not like I forced her !"
"You are such a male whore, Angelo and you think this is right because you forget Yaya is still in the picture."
"Okay Alma you win don't you have things to do like go shopping for my little niece or nephew." Suddenly the atmosphere changed, fuck pregnant women and their mood swings.
"That's where I'm headed silly." She smiled holding her tummy that wasn't visible yet.
"Honestly I feel like a bouncing ball, how did Raina do this alone with twins-" she suddenly stopped.
"I'm sorry A."
"Its fine, it is my fault for not being there till they were born. I was an idiot to tell her to get an abortion."
Suddenly my favorite person walked in. Maya, her advises could be used in the white house.
"Morning Angelo." She hugged me.
"Alma..." She turned to my pregnant moody sister.
