It's Complicated

Chapter 4|BRETT

B R E T T

I was uneasy. I felt so fvcking uneasy when I heard that Chad which happens to be my long lost mate was my little brother's boyfriend!

"Yes, this is Chad Reano. My boyfriend." Bryan said, grinning so proudly.

Chad.

Chad Reano.

His name was echoing inside my head.

". . . anyway, enjoy your kid's pool party. We're going to have a real adult party upstairs." Bryan said and held Chad's hand and I wanted to stand and slice my hand with their attached hands, separating it.

And what the hell was that about having a real adult party upstairs!? Ha!

My mind wasn't present there with my friends after Bryan and Chad went upstairs. My mind's fvcking there with them! I was thinking what were they already doing and it's killing me. They're not doing it, right? Right!?

**

I ended up stalking Chad and I even followed him to the mall where his mother and his little brother were with him also and they were doing some restocking of their foods.

His scent was so addicting and it's sticking on my nose that I can't get it off no matter how I rubbed it away.

But I made sure that I keep my distance so he won't really think that I was stalking him and it seems like his little brother was the first one to recognize me and then he was surprised to see me when our eyes met. But he was the one to look away first as if he didn't recognize me, and it hurt my feelings. And also my wolf's.

I don't even know if he ever felt that strong connection. Well, I guess not because he's a human! I don't know what's their case.

I ended up buying a few things because it would so suspicious if I walked out without buying anything.

I threw the things I bought inside my car and saw Chad placing the groceries on the back of their car. I moved my feet and approached him.

"Hey. Chad right?" I said and he jumped in surprise and turned to see me.

"Are you a ghost?" He said breathlessly making me laugh. I can feel how nervous he was.

"Wrong. I'm a werewolf." I said because it's the truth and he gave me a sarcastic chuckle. Better than nothing.

"Nice try." He said.

"Yeah?" I removed something on his hair. And by something, I mean nothing. And I was so amused how his heart was beating so loud when I did that. "Something was on your hair." I said and pretend to throw that something.

"Oh, thanks. You should just tell me." He said and scratched his hair.

"It was faster that way." I said and the car horn, surprising him..

"Uh, they're calling me. . ." He said.

"They are. I'll see you later and take care." I said.

"Okay. You too."

I watched him walked until he went into the car and drove home. To his home.

**

It was driving me crazy thinking that he was so near yet so far from me. He's just on my grasp but I can't touch him.

I was planning on attending some activities at the uni that evening though it's not necessary to come I have nothing to do at the house and I'll just end up thinking about Chad until I became insane.

It kinda took me long to dress and head out because I was trying to get my mood up. But I was surprised when I smelt his scent inside the house and I bet Bryan invited him inside again and I don't feel like going out to uni now.

And I ended up changing my clothes and went down the stairs. I walked to the kitchen smelling him and something delicious. Bryan was the one cooking and Chad was grabbing some glasses and a container for water. He wasn't holding it properly, I mean his hands were full and a glass was slipping from his hand.

I ran and saved the glass from shattering on the floor

"Brett." Chad called my name breathlessly and it sounds so arousing. I can hear his heartbeat beating so fast.

"Easy on those things. Mom won't be happy if she knew one of her collections broke." I said and placed the glass on the table and he placed the other glass and the pitcher on the table.

"It's okay. I'll cover for him." Bryan said and placed some plates with fresh from the pan foods and wrapped his arm around Chad's waist and my forehead automatically creased, seeing them acting like that in front of me. It's making my eyes hurt!

"So, uh, how about we invite Brett to eat with us." Chad said and it kinda made me happy because he invited me and there's no way I would refuse him.

"Okay." Bryan said, sounding a little bit unhappy. Too bad for him because I'm sticking my eyes to my mate.

I can't help but steal glances at Chad during dinner. And our eyes kept on meeting each other giving me a little bit of hope.

I know somehow that he's attracted to me too. . . and then they started on talking about school and stuff and it seems like they forgotten about me and they were saying sweet things, flirting at each other in front of me and it was torture.

I felt like I was tortured!

Hearing his sweet chuckles and laughter but I wasn't the one who made him did those things. It was Bryan and I think my blood pressure was increasing.

But I held it until we finished our dinner.

They went up to Bryan's room and I was in the living room, watching television. And I don't even know what I was watching. It seems that my vision sees through the wall and the people taking on the screen doesn't even make any sense in my ears.

I glanced at the stairs when someone was descending and it was Bryan. I turned my head back to the television and switched channels when I felt him stopped just beside the couch that I was sitting.

"What?" I said, sounding so bored.

"He's mine."

I squeezed the remote control a little bit harder when I heard him. What did he just said!?

My mate's his?

"No fvcking way." I said and looked at him. He looked so ready to jump at me anytime. But I'm not scared of him. He's still a little puppy compared to me.

"Look. I'm serious about my relationship with Chad and if you only wanted him for s*x, like you always does, please stop because he's not a slut. Go find yourself some prostitutes outside." He said making me narrow my eyes.

"Yes, I want him. But not just because of s*x, but because he's my mate." I said and Bryan looked at me dumbfounded for a second before he laughed sarcastically.

"Seriously, Brett. Will you stop that!?"

"Stop what!?" I stood from the couch. "I'm fvcking serious!"

"No, you're not because Chad's my mate and I'm so sure about it." He said and I sneered in disbelief.

"How did you know he is your mate? You just turned seventeen, for fvck's sake!" I exclaimed and because I felt so angry.

"He's only mine." His cheeks were tinted with pink before he turned around and climb the stairs two steps at a time.

"He's my mate and you know what that means!" I said as I watched him. "Fvck!" I kicked the sofa, hitting the pinky on my toe but it doesn't hurt at all.

"s**t!" I cursed when my pinky fvcking hurts and I crouched down to hold it. It fvcking hurts than a broken heart!

**

I ran my fingers through my hair as I dialed Zach's number. I want to tell someone about it because I think I'm going to blow up!

I can't stop pacing back and forth at the kitchen as I heard Zach's phone ringing and I was about to end the call when he finally answered it.

"Hey, Zach!" I said.

"What?" He groaned from the other line.

"Let's talk." I said and I sounded so problematic. Yes, I feel so problematic. Fvck!

"We're already talking." He said making me roll my eyes. What do I expect about Zach?

I kinda felt awkward to tell him about it but maybe he can help me? Whatever. . .

"I, uh.. I found my mate." I said and stopped from pacing around.

"What!?" He exclaimed on the phone making me wince. "Really? I thought your mate will never ever show up!"

I chuckled nervously. That's what I always told them, that my mate will never gonna show up but he's there now, on the house, on Bryan's room!

"I thought so too!" I said.

"So, what's the problem?" He asked and I made a face.

"The problem is, my mate is Bryan's boyfriend!" I said.

"What!?" He exclaimed again on the phone and I just found it funny to hear him do that. "That's so messed up!"

Exactly!

"And he insists that they're mates when he turns eighteen! What? Are we like threesome!?" I said, angrily.

"Threesome, it's not that bad." He said and I sighed.

"It is! I don't want to share him!" I whined. "And guess what, he's a human!"

"Ha?" He exclaimed again.

In the end, Zach never helped me. For fvck's sake, he just said some nonsense things about being mated to a human. What does he know? He doesn't even know someone who's mate was a human. Except for me now.

**

I can't stay at the house any longer, not when Chad was at Bryan's room. So, I decided to go out and do things I usually do every night when I'm feeling stressed or uneasy.

I went to a bar. I don't know why a noisy and a crowded place helped me calm down. s*x was only a bonus if I found someone interested and it happens to be every night when I visited a bar because I'm not that attractive.

Oh, see how humble I am?

Kidding.

I sat on the bar counter and ordered a glass of whiskey and glancing at the crowd. I spotted a cute woman in pink and I just sighed and turned to look back at the counter. I'm not in the mood to look for a woman. Not when all I can all think about was Chad. A man!

I had my second glass when someone sat on the stool beside me and I can smell his fresh yet manly cologne.

"You alone?" He said making me turned my head at him.

He's on his early twenties and has the looks and his messy hair looked like Chad's. And I think it was the only reason why I smiled at him. Because he had Chad's hair.

"Yeah." I said and he nodded as he traced the rim of the glass with his finger.

I know what he wanted. Everyone there wants the same thing. To get laid.

"I keep on seeing you here. Are you here every day?" He said, smiling widely. He sure had that sweet innocent smile.

"No." I said and he nudged his seat closer because he can't clearly hear me because of the music. "But I'm here very often."

Our shoulders were bumping each other but I never really mind it.

I never just fvck women. I also did a few men because it's so rare to find gays there, not to mention that that place was beside a gay dance bar. And I once went there and it was so messy. But I kinda had fun and I brought two men home that night and my first threesome happened with guys!

"Really. I kept on seeing you every time I came here." He chuckled.

"Must be a coincidence." I said and drank the remaining whiskey on my glass.

"Maybe." He said and our eyes met. He gave me a sweet smile making me c***k a smile on my lips.

He's sweet. And I had met a lot of innocent looking people like him but they're not as innocent as what they looked like.

Looks can be so deceiving. And you guys should learn from that lesson. . . like me.

"I'm Harry." He said and held his hand for a shake hand.

"Brett." I said and shook his hand, squeezing it.

"Nice to finally you, Brett." He said and grinned.

"I could say the sa—" I was cut when he leaned closer and pressed his lips to mine.

I was surprised for a second but I cupped the back of his head and pulled him closer as our lips moving in sync.

We pulled our lips away and smiled at each other as we stood from our chairs as if we were thinking the same.

I drove back to the house twelve midnight with Harry and he can't keep his hands to himself making me impossible to drive properly.

"You've got a nice house." He said after he went out of the car.

"Thanks." I said and walked after him to the front doors.

I suddenly felt uneasy because I can still smell Chad inside the house. I was thinking that Bryan already drives him home but he ended up staying the night there, huh.

I was inserting the key to the keyhole when Harry wrapped his arms behind me, chuckling and kissed the sides of my neck. I never bothered to get him off me as I kicked the door open and I was surprised to see Chad descending halfway to the staircase, frozen and looking surprised at who in the fvcking midnight would open the front doors.

The house was dark but I can see him of course and I bet he can also recognize me from the light being cast outside.

I wasn't planning on turning the lights when Harry switched it on murmuring about how dark it was. I just rolled my eyes.

"Oh! Is he your brother?" Harry asked referring to Chad and I can see a slight tint of pink on his cheeks.

"No." I said and turned the lights off again. "Nobody. . . just keep walking." I said grabbing his arm and pulled him up the stairs, passing Chad.

"Okay, baby." Harry said chuckling.

I closed my door after we went inside and I wanted to break down. My wolf almost killed himself when I said that our mate's a nobody to us. And also the fact that he smelt like they had s*x!

They had s*x!

Not after Bryan knew that Chad's my mate!

He's insane!
