Suasana di meja di Cafe Bless and Coffee terlalu janggal.

Tiga orang remaja, masing-masing memakai uniform sekolah kaku di kerusi, leaving an untouch coffee berasap di atas meja.

" Why kau masih dekat sini?" Nada Daniel sedikit tinggi. " can i just get some time alone with my girlfriend?"

(AUTHOR NOTE : FOR YOUR IMAGINATION, IF YOU WANNA KNOW HOW DANIEL LOOK LIKE, SEARCH VERNON SEVENTEEN)

Ian Mikaelson senyum sinis " no, kenapa bukan kau je yang pergi. why can't i have time alone with my soulmate?"

( AUTHOR NOTE : FOR YOU IMAGINATION, IF YOU WANNA KNOW HOW IAN LOOK LIKE, SEARCH JUNHUI SEVENTEEN)

Daniel turut senyum sinis " soulmate? you really got guts huh."

"ah, should i not? she surely love me better than you " yakin Ian menjawab.

Mata Daniel berubah " wanna be proven wrong?"

Arelle Marshall menghentuk meja bulat di hadapannya, tidak lagi mampu bertolak ansur dengan tindakan kekanakan kedua remaja lelaki itu. " oh, just shut up both of you!"

( AUTHOR NOTE : I MADE ARELLE BASED ON DOAH FROM FANATICS.SEARCH HER UP!)

Ian cuba membantah " tapi Relle, this guy.."

" aku yang panggil dia ke sini okey, so stop fighting." Arelle mengurut kepalanya.

Daniel make a proud face "see, now get off."

"and Ian come to comfort me, so stop attacking him either Niel." Arelle menambah.

Kini muka Ian yang kelihatan bangga.

" and kita semua ponteng sekolah pada hari pertama, great! my mom gonna kill me." sambung Arelle lagi

Ian memegang jemari Arelle.Suaranya bertukar lembut. " she won't. I won't let her do that."

Rasa cemburu menyelinap di hati Daniel.Dia menepis pegangan tangan itu sebelum menarik Arelle bangun. " and we done.we going now."

To see her own girlfriend flirting infront his face, what a day.

Arelle tergamam " eh? what? tunggu kejap!"

Ian turut bangun,memegang sebelah lagi tangan Arelle " i have gps on her, no matter where you bring her, i will definately found you guys so..let go of her, now."

Mata Daniel tajam " kau letak gps dekat girlfriend aku? My own girlfriend!?"

He seem like he ready to kick Ian face.

Arelle, tersekat di tengah mereka mengeluh kuat sebelum menarik kedua tangannya yang dipegang " aku cakap stop kan! Niel, dengar sini, Ian...He my step-brother."

Daniel yang dikuasai rasa marah kini terdiam.Dia melihat tubuh Ian atas bawah sebelum beralih ke arah Arelle

"the...step brother yang awak cakap anak hasil perkahwinan ayah awak sebelum ni?" perlahan ayat itu diucapkan.

"yes, the step brother yang saya ada sebab my dad can't put his thing inside his pants and cheat with my mom just to have me when he still married to Ian mother. That step brother." Arelle mengigit bibirnya. "jadi,berhenti mengamuk tak tentu pasal macam ni boleh, i blame my parent, benci diorang at some point but i never hate Ian, he did nothing wrong."

Ian duduk semula " kau beritahu dia semua? pasal keluarga kita? kau percaya dia sampai macam tu?"

Nadanya kedengaran tidak puas hati.

Arelle menunjuk ke arah muka Daniel " Ian, tengok! Kau tak rasa dia familiar? Rambut dia, the eyes, the face!?"

Daniel who feel he just become the centre of attention : ............. what with my face?

Ian menyilangkan tangan.Dia kembali memandang Daniel.From the blond hair to blue eyes to Daniel extra good looking face.

Dia kemudiannya beralih kearah Arelle " so sis, kau just nak brag how handsome boyfriend kau? please, i'm more atttactive than him, are you blind?"

"oh my god Ian! bukan tu.Kau tak rasa dia serupa macam Uncle Carl bila dia muda? Macam clone?"Arelle give up with Ian overconfident self.

"oh." Ian menyedari apa yang cuba dimaksudkan oleh Arelle.Dia kemudiannya mengangguk " kinda...macam Kay pun ada.."

"yes!" Arelle akhirnya mengangguk laju. " because he is.Dia anak Uncle Carl, also Kay step brother.Get it! If kau nak pikat Kay, how on hell kau nak ambil hati dia if kau asyik bergaduh dengan Niel, saudara tiri dia ?"

Kedua remaja lelaki itu terdiam mendengar ayat Arelle.

Arelle,finally realize what she just say : .....oh my god.

Daniel : You have a crush on her!?

Ian. : You her step brother!?

Mereka berdua berkata serentak.Suasana bertukar janggal semula, no extra janggal with Arelle di tengah kelihatan serba salah

"oppss..I should not say that.." Arelle membuat tanda sorry " tapi salah faham dah selesai kan, so semua okey,kan...?"

Ian Mikaelson pantas bangun dari kerusi "no, how the shit kau Kaylee step brother? How the fucking shit.Dari mana kau datang ?"

Daniel turut membuat muka tidak percaya " tell me, how the hell kau boleh suka perempuan tu.She like a time bomb, apa yang menarik pasal dia?"

"cakap lagi sekali!?" nada Ian bertukar marah mendengar comment Daniel tentang Kaylee.

"ah, i can't take this anymore.Niel,pergi sekolah now! it's your first day.At least meet the teacher and all."Arelle menolak tubuh Daniel dari situ

"tak nak, macam mana saya nak tinggalkan awak.You don't even tell me kenapa awak panggil saya ke sini, did something happen?" Daniel berkeras di tempatnya.

Arelle kaku.Kejadian di hadapan rumahnya bersama Joenathan muncul.Mukanya ditundukkan.

Holy shit,that's right.She can't think straight after the encounter she chat Daniel to meet her.

And for what? nak beritahu her own boyfriend yang "oh well, you know, the guy i have a few night stand with, he want to be serious with me but i freak out and run away so i call you."

Gila kau Arelle, you just dig your own grave.

"saya...saya datang period.Sebab..sebab tu saya call awak.I don't feel comfortable with the pain."Arelle berbohong entah buat kali keberapa hari ini.

Pedulikan rasa malu, there no way I gonna tell him i sleep with someone else!

I'm not ready to..lost him yet..

aku selfish, aku tahu.

Bukan sahaja Daniel memberi reaksi tidak percaya, even Ian making a face that scream " are you freaking kidding me?"

"ja..jadi..Niel...awak pergi sekolah dulu ya. I text you later.." sambung Arelle sambil memegang erat blazer sekolah Daniel

He look at her shaking hands, and decided not to make her lie known for now.Daniel memeluk badan Arelle "okey, tapi if you still need me call okey.Saya datang.,where ever you might be, i found you " lembut suara itu berbisik di telingga Arelle.

Rasa serba salah Arelle menusuk.

Joenathan dan Daniel, both of them were so nice .Just how on hell can she even get them.She don't deserve any.

" i love you." Ayat itu diucapkan oleh Daniel selepas Arelle tidak membalas " I really did, so don't be afraid i'm here."

( AUTHOR NOTE : FOR THIS SCENE I RECOMMED YOU LISTEN TO THRU THESE TEARS BY LANY STRIPPED VERSION )

"Hmm" Arelle mengangguk. "Niel thank you, really."

She really don't deserve this guy.

Daniel mencium lembut dahi Arelle " saya pergi dulu.." dia beralih ke arah Ian " take care of her.If anything happen to her..."

Matanya tajam melihat Ian memberi amaran.

" bruh, i been taking care of her since we 4" Ian yang baru hendak bertenang kini merasakan darahnya mula naik kembali

Just dekat mana Arelle jumpa mamat ni!?

Daniel tidak menjawab. Dia melepaskan pelukan lalu tersenyum lemah terhadap Arelle " i get going now."

"ah..okey." Arelle mengangguk,kehangatan pelukan Daniel masih terasa.

Daniel take final look at her and Ian before taking his bag and walk away.

His face were more complicated than the time when he first arrive there.

" Seriously,apa masalah mamat tu." Ian akhirnya duduk buat kali ketiga.

Arelle hanya memandang bayangan Daniel menghilang sebelum beralih ke arah Ian " aku..tak expect korang akan jumpa macam ni."

"you think!" ujar Ian sambil menarik nafas "kat mana kau jumpa mamat tu? bukan kau baru break dengan si Mike tu ke?"

Arelle turut duduk " kau ingat time summer haritu aku pergi camp?"

"wait, kau jumpa dia dekat situ? but kau pergi dengan Mike!" suara Ian sedikit terkejut.

"well...boleh kau salahkan aku.I mean, look at his face.Siapa je boleh tolak muka macam tu." Arelle mengangkat bahu

well, she actually have another reason but..

"Kau.." Ian mengeleng kepala " so kau break dengan Mike sebab budak tu?"

Arelle mengangguk.Not really but macam mana dia nak beritahu Ian tentang Joenathan.

" you need to stop you know.Perangai playgirl kau ni boleh makan diri." Ian berkata tiba-tiba " lelaki..bila dah dendam boleh berubah menjadi menakutkan kau tahu.Tambah- tambah if kau hancurkan hati diorang."

Arelle hampir tersedak.How can this guy teka betul macam tu je.

Joenathan did look scary this morning, so she really do break his heart huh...

Skirts sekolahnya dicengkam erat "...what if...aku beritahu kau...aku did break someone heart.."

Mungkin, she need to tell Ian about this.Tak mungkin selamanya dia boleh sembunyikan tentang perkara itu.

"who, Mike? aku ingat kau main- main je dengan dia." Ian menghirup air coffee yang sudah sejuk

Arelle menarik nafas dalam. "ac..actually Ian...I sleep with Joe."

"sprittt.." air yang diminum Ian tersembur keluar.

"hey! kotor baju aku" Arelle mengosok sisa air coffee yang terkena uniformnya.

Ian Mikaelson menyapu air di mulutnya " kau cakap apa!?"

Mukanya merah menahan rasa ingin mencarut.

Arelle berhenti mengosok uniform sekolahnya. Dia melihat Ian " aku tidur dengan Joe.Kau nak aku ulang lagi ke?"

"who the fuck are you!?" Ian meletak kasar cup coffee keatas meja " mana Arelle yang aku kenal? who the fuck are you? Give me back my soulmate."

Arelle cuba menenangkan Ian " hey, cool down."

"cool down kau.Relle, apa kau tengah buat ni! Kau.."Ian kehilangan kata-kata.

Just what happen with this girl these days?

" Ian..I think I did made Joe mad.Dia cari aku pagi tadi tapi aku lari dari dia.I freak out.Aku takut.."Arelle mengigit bibirnya. " he..he want to be serious with me but.."

"kau dah tidur dengan dia, kau expect apa? dia lupa ingatan? Relle, it's Joe for satan sake.Joe kot.Dalam banyak orang kau nak rosakkan, you pick him?"

Arelle membalas spontan " aku rasa dia yang rosakkan aku.."

"shit Relle, really now?" Ian membuat muka tidak percaya " how? at least tell me how and since when?"

Arelle menelan air liur.Dia menyadar ke kerusi "kau ingat last year end party yang Katherine buat? Bila Kaylee drunk too much and kau hantar dia balik? you leave me..and him dekat party too?"

"damn Relle, you and Joe not even drunk time tu that's why i leave you with him." Ian membantah

"aku tahu,bagi aku habis cerita boleh.So..lepas kau and Kaylee pergi, the party get boring and Joe suggest if aku nak pergi rumah dia tengok movie.Kau tahu cinema room rumah dia best so i think why not.Long story short we just watch the movie for 10 minute and started make out.Tapi. first time tu memang aku tak plan okey.It's just happen.."

Kening Ian terangkat mendengar ayat Arelle " first time? Arelle, how fucking many time kau tidur dengan dia?!"

Kini mukanya betul-betul bertukar merah akibat kemarahan yang meluap.

Arelle yang baru menyedari dia terlepas kata terdiam.Dia kembali mengengam baju sekolah " few..times..okey 5-6 times i think but the point is,.lepas we done it the first time tu, Joe and me, kami agree just to be friend with benefits.He agree by that time so aku..aku continue jelah."

"oh my god.." Ian mengurut dada, nafasnya turun naik." stop..please.aku tak rasa aku boleh hadam dah benda yang keluar dari mulut kau "

"Ian, point dia sekarang, Joe mad at me okey.Kau tahu bila dia jumpa aku pagi tadi,he curse at me.Joe curse!"

Ian masih mengurut dada " apa kau merepek ni.Tak mungkin Joe mencarut.We all know Joe.It's impossible."

"sebab tu" Arelle mendepankan badan " impossible kan! But he really curse Ian.Kau rasa,when Joe finally curse, how mad he actually was..."

Ian melihat gadis itu " Relle, at this point, aku rasa kau deserve the curse.The fuck doh, macam mana kau mainkan hati orang macam tu je.Joe,Mike then this Daniel guy..Kau..karma gonna hit you hard."

Arelle senyum sedih " hey Ian..aku benci dad.Sebab tu aku keluar dari rumah tu,sebab aku tak boleh tengok muka dia dan mom.But look at me now.I become like them..I really their daughter huh."

Ian melihat ketepi " sekarang..apa kau nak buat.Did Kaylee tahu pasal ni?"

Arelle mengeleng " what? No. of course tak.Kau gila aku nak beritahu dia.She..kau pun tahu dia macam mana.."

"but kau tak ada masalah tidur dengan crush dia aka my best friend aka your best friend too?" Ian memerli

"hey, Joe is so good at bed and his body were great.I meant the abs bruh the abs..I..don't even love him.Shit just happen."

Muka Ian berkerut " berhenti.For real aku tak nak tahu bagus macam mana kawan baik aku atas katil.Seriously Relle."

"sorry" Arelle ketawa kecil " but he really good at bed tho..sebab tu aku tak boleh stop seeing him.."

" I say stop!" Ian membuat muka " or i freaking leave you here."

"okey sorry" Arelle mengeleng semula " don't leave me , i'm a freaking mess right now ."

"to imagine aku skip hari first sekolah just to know you sleep with Joe...." Ian kemudian melihat Arelle " wait...don't tell me kau tidur dengan si Mike tu juga."

"what,fuck no!" Arelle pantas menafikan. " aku just tidur dengan Joe"

Sekali lagi kening Ian diangkat " why?"

"why? obviously eww dah kenapa aku nak tidur dengan Mike, i don't even love him" spontan Arelle membalas

Ian kemudian tersenyum sinis "oh, but you sure can sleep with Joe even you don't love him"

Arelle diam.

For once, this step brother of her sure got a point.
