Chapter 12

Zachary woke up early with a smile on his face. He knows that today is Keith's day off so he plans to invite Keith and Kaizer to have a picnic. It's a good opportunity for him because he can have a bonding experience with both of them. 
Zachary gets his phone at his bedside table and dials Keith's number.
After a few rings Keith already answered it.
"Hello?" A hoarse voice can be heard in the other line. It seems that Zachary is the one who woke him up.
 When Zachary heard that sexy voice he fake coughed and tried to stop himself by forgetting the reason why he called.
"Hey good morning, You're off today right?" Zachary was excited while talking from the other line.
"Yes, why?" Keith asks while yawning. He slowly gets up and brushes his hair and listens on his phone.
"I want to invite you and Kaizer to have a picnic later. I will fetch both of you. I don't take no for an answer. I just want to say thanks for the thing you gave me yesterday," Zachary said. He knew that Keith would not accept his invitation, so he rushed to speak before Keith refused him.
Keith smiled a little when he heard it 'Cute' 
"Hmm, what time?" He asks. He didn't complain anymore. He also wants to take Kaizer out, it's been a while since the last time he went out with Kaizer and that time is only for some business.
"Right, 10:00 am," Zachary replied and stood up on his bed and walked through his wardrobe to pick his clothes. While moving the smile on his face didn't fade away.
"OK, see you later," Keith responded with a smile on his face. He can imagine what image he's wearing right now.
"Ok, bye," Zachary replied and he pressed the end button. Keith wants to say bye but Zachary already end the call. He shakes his head and gets up to walk toward his bathroom. He thinks he needs to prepare also to prepare for Kaizer.
Zachary walked toward his room door to go out. He closed the door and suddenly noticed his brother walking like a zombie his head bowing while his eyes were closed. 
Zachary wants to laugh at what he's seeing but he chooses to get his brother's attention. "Hey!" Zachary called him and made his brother look at him. His eyes are still half closed but he manages to stand properly.
"Hmm good morning my little brother," he said. This time he walks properly and comes in front of him.
"Why are you walking like that, are you taking drugs?" Zachary asks with annoyance on his face. 
"Of course not, I'm just a simple businessman, why would I take such an illegal drug?" Johnsen said, defending himself. Zachary knows it but he just wants to annoy his brother in the end, Johnsen looks cool and doesn't bother to get annoyed by it.
"Then why are you walking like that?" Zachary asked. Now he started walking at the stairs to go down and Johnsen followed him from behind.
"I don't have enough rest because there are two people beside my room who keep shouting." Zachary turned his head and for a moment they stopped moving. He knew who the person inside that room was. 'Steffan and Ivan…. I knew in the middle of the night they would not stop fighting with each other
"They used to be here?" Johnsen asks him after he walks again until they arrive in the kitchen.
"Hmm. The time when our parents and sister left me here alone we met and when you and you know go back to the state to manage our grandparent company they stay here," Zachary said. Even if he was the youngest, the favourite child among them was their sister. His brother is used to living in the state because his grandparent is the one who has looked after him since he was a child, while Zachary is such a lonely person, that nobody in his family likes him except his big brother. But there's someone who stayed beside him for so many years who also cared for him. Because of that, he didn't even wish to be loved by anyone in their family because he was satisfied.
"Good, you have someone who can accompany you. Don't shout at them too much but what about their family?" Johnsen said he was already smiling. He was grateful that Zachary found a friend so he wouldn't feel alone.
"They plan to have an apartment because their house is far away from our school they decide to come here, at first I didn't want to allow them but those f*cking as*holes keep bothering me, I'm so annoyed by them and decided to let them stay here. Besides, this house is huge and also I don't want to have a maid here." Zachary walked toward the fridge to see what something to cook. 
Johnsen was smiling while listening to his explanation. He even knew Zachary said that he didn't plan to let them stay there, he knew Zachary had a soft spot to make him decide like that.
"By the way Dad and Mom called you?" Johnsen asks his hand to lean at the counter while Zachary stops washing the lettuce and tomato at the sink.
"Ha?! They haven't. They just put some money in my bank account. It's been a month since the last time they called,'' he said, after that he continued again. He gets the strainer from the divider and lets the water separate from the vegetables.
"Hah! Both of them keep looking at our big sister more than their youngest child, they only think of her." Johnsen got annoyed he already accepted that their parent couldn't love him the more than he imagined because if they treasured him no matter what happened they wouldn't let their parent make him grow up on his grandparent's side but Zachary was different They were supposed to look at him more than anyone because he's the youngest just like him Ge
lf left behind by their parents.
e smiled slightly but he didn't answer. Instead, he just put his whole attention to the pan and put the ham in there.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it. I'm still thankful that they didn't forget to give me some money. I'm ok with that." He didn't care how his parents treated him. He still understands that they are more careful of his big sister because she is weak and has a heart disease. That's why even at her age he doesn't have a partner and needs to take treatment in the state.
 'Besides, there's someone who also gave me an allowance more than they gave me' Zachary continued in his mind.
Zachary looks at his cooking When the other side of the ham is ready he flips it. "But I'm not ok with that! At least they will get you to the state with them but they choose to leave you!" Johnsen looks frustrated while talking. Zachary shakes his head gets the ham from the pan puts it on the bread and puts tomato, lettuce, ketchup and cheese he put in the sale plate. He made 7 sandwiches for all of them. The thing is Johnsen always complained about it but Zachary already told him he's fine, he's not the type of a son who will make a tantrum to make their parents feel guilty.
Zachary didn't realize that his gangways were now finally at the door looking at him weirdly. He just noticed it when he looked in that direction. "Why?" Zachary raised his eyebrow when Johnsen heard him speak to someone he decided to look at the kitchen door where he found out that Zachary's friend was already there.
"Woah boss is that you?" All of them said that while their mouths were open. Zachary didn't answer and he carried the plate with the sandwich to the table. His gang rushed to sit at the chair when they saw what Zachary putting on the table.
"Who told you that I will give you this?" Zachary raises his eyebrows while sitting on the chair.
"We knew, of course, you're in a good mood and the sandwich is 7," Steffan said with a grin. Zachary just rolls his eyes and eats the sandwich he gets.
"Little brother, what do you plan today?" Johnsen asked. While biting the sandwich, he plans to get them to the mall because he wants to have some fun. In the state all he does is wake up in the morning and go to work, after work he will go home and sleep again. That's always his whole routine.
"I have a date," Zachary said without hesitation. But because of that his gang who's enjoying chewing the sandwich stop and cough so hard before they all run to the fridge to get the water. All of them push each other to drink water but Mike glares at them, in the end after he drinks he also serves them water. While the Zachary gang makes a mess at the counter Johnsen, still staring at Zachary, also stops eating. He didn't know if Zachary was just kidding. That's why he's waiting for him to speak to take back his word but he didn't. 
"Who was that?" Johnsen suspiciously asked, still staring at Zachary's face.
"Why? It's a secret of course" He didn't bother all eyes looking at him. He was busy biting his sandwiches.
"Why are you keeping a secret from me?" Johnsen asked. His eyes move when he sees the Zachary gang come back to their sit and eat again like they don't have the guts to ask Zachary and let Johnsen ask everything so they hear so much information.
"Well, there's no relationship to the both of us. I will introduce him to you when he's finally mine," Zachary confidently said. Johnsen opened his mouth when he heard the word *him*. He didn't know that his brother was also different.
"Him?" He asks again, Johnsen eyes look to Zachary's friend, and all of them nod so many times.
"Yes, why?" He was surprised that his brother was so confident to say it to other people loudly. On the other side, Ivan takes a glance at Steffan who doesn't bother to look at him even though he feels that Ivan is looking.
"Nothing, so you're the one who was courting?" Johnsen asked again. Zachary was stunned when he heard it. 
"I'm courting him?" Zachary asks back. It looks like asking himself or asking Johnsen because even he doesn't know the answer.
"Yes!" They shout at the same time. Zachary looks at his gang, he just notices they are also listening. 'So nosy!' 
"No, I'm just expressing my feelings," Zachary said while pinching his chin. He just felt that his cheek was burning.
"Boss be careful, being confident is not good at all." He stared at Steffan when he heard him say that. 
'What is the meaning of that?' Zachary asked himself once again.
Ivan looks at the plate while the other members look at him. It makes them more confused about what is happening to both of them.
"I need to prepare now," he exclaimed and didn't answer what Steffan said. 
He stands up from the chair walks through his kitchen counter and prepares some food he'll bring later.
