Celeste

My head was still throbbing when I opened my eyes and stretched out my arms. As I took my phone, I saw that it was already midnight. I shook my head and tried my best to get up to get some water. I just got home from a long business trip and I can still feel my jet lag all over my body.

Heading my way downstairs to go to the kitchen, I heard something. At first I was a bit confused if I heard it right. Someone’s giggling and moaning inside the kitchen!

“Hey, don’t moan loudly. Someone might hear us.” I heard a man’s voice whisper.

Followed by a woman’s flirty voice. “I’m sorry, I just can’t stop myself. You’re so good.”

My chest felt heavy. With hesitation, I slowly walked towards the kitchen’s entrance and was shocked to see my younger sister’s face. She was sitting on the sink while her legs were up snaking around a man’s waist.

“Emma!” I yelled.

But what surprised me the most, was when the man turned to my direction and I saw my boyfriend’s face. Blood rushed through my face as I looked into his lusty eyes but it vanished right after he saw me. He was shocked.

“S-selina?! Gerald quickly moved away from Emma. While Emma jumped out of the sink and tried to straighten her skirt.

“What the heck are you doing with my sister?” I asked, trembling. My eyes pooled with tears as I trembled because of a mix of emotions of anger, nervousness and shock.

“Babe…” Gerald murmured. “We… it’s not what you were thinking—”

“Oh come on, Gerald! You know what we are doing and I know that Selina is not dumb to know that. We are making out! And what is it to you then?” Emma crossed her arms and then raised her brow.

“What is it to me, Emma? I am your older sister! And Gerald is my boyfriend!” I couldn’t help but shout. “Are you even serious? Why the hell are you making out with my boyfriend? Are you out of your mind?!”

“Well, you see, you were always busy with the company and you didn’t have time with Gerald. Maybe that was the reason why he chose me!” Emma said mockingly.

“Emma, please stop talking…” Gerald said and then he tried to approach me. “Selina, I’m so sorry babe, it was just a mistake—”

“It wasn’t a mistake, Gerald! You wanted what we did!” Emma stopped him.

“Emma! This is not you! Why are you doing this to me? There are lots of guys aside from Gerald!”

“But I want Gerald! I want him! I love him!” she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Trembling, I slapped her so hard. I couldn’t stop my anger towards her. It was unbelievable that those words were coming out of my sister’s mouth!

“What the hell?!” she cursed.

Her cheek was red when she glared at me. And when she was about to slap back, she stopped when our parents came.

“What is happening here?” Dad asked in his low baritone voice.

With my eyes pooling with tears, I quickly turned my attention to Dad.

“Dad…” But I wasn’t able to defend myself when Emma quickly stopped me.

“Dad! She slapped me! She slapped my precious pretty face!”

“What? Why did you slap your sister?!” Mom shouted in anger. Then she rushed through Emma and touched her cheeks to see the redness on it. Before she glared at me. “Look at what you did to your sister! You shouldn't slap her!”

“I slapped her because she was making out with my fiance!” My lips were trembling, but I still continued to fight back.

“Really? Is that true, Emma?” Mom asked.

“Y-yes…” Emma replied.
