Reversal

Chapter 50 Jealousy

"Oh, good" Nodding, Christian holds his cell phone to his ear "Christian speaking"

"Christian, good news!"

But a loud scream came, causing Christian to pull the cell phone away from his ear "You don't have to scream Mrs. Evelyn, I'm not deaf"

"Well..." Calming down a little "I've got good news Christian"

"Speak..."

"When we launched your book we asked newspapers in different states to add your book as a recommendation, cashing in on some favors they owed us"

"..."

"The main issue is that thanks to that your book was a success!"

"..."

"We haven't even completed a month and we're already getting calls from bookstores asking for more, in all this time we've already sold 6000 copies and climbing!"

"I see..."

"People even contacted the publisher asking for the second volume!"

"I see..."

"You are probably a successful author!"

"I see..."

"WHY DON'T YOU REACT!!!?" Mrs. Evelyn shouted in frustration.

"Because it's the usual, I know what my works are worth, I don't expect any less than this..."

"*Sigh* I give up"

"Have you thought about when the second volume will be released? I've already patented the whole saga"

"It's still too early, let's hope people will be more eager and more sales will come."

"Well, by the way, I tell you that I have more than 30 novels of the same quality to publish..."

"..."

"..."

"I think I misheard, how many novels did you say?"

"More than 30."

"Of s-same quality?"

"Some must be superior, it depends on the reader's taste"

"Well... *sigh* I guess it's normal coming from you... we just bring the publisher when you can, we'll see when it's best to publish them"

"Well, if that's all I'll hang up for now, I have a girl to discipline"

"Wait! I have a writer to introduce you to, can you come to the publishing house next Tuesday at 6 pm?"

"... I shouldn't have any problems"

"Okay, we'll wait for you, see you later"

"See you later" Hanging up the call, Christian handed the cell phone back to his mother.

"Did something happen?" asked Eva hesitantly.

"Yes, they were talking to me about how the launch of my novel went"

"And how did it go?" asked Eva with concern, fearing that her boy's book would be a failure and cause him harm.

"I think it was in the papers, it's quite a success, in less than a month they sold 6000 copies, now they're working on printing more"

"That's great" Eva smiled happily, while inside relief dominated "Did they tell you what newspapers it was in? I want to buy a few"

"Don't ask..." Christian replied with some discomfort.

"Never mind, I'll call to ask them" Answered Eva with a smile "Did they tell you anything else?"

"No, but in a few days they should send the first payment from the sales"

"More money?"

"Yes, the $2000 was just an advance, that advance should have already been paid"

"Oh..." Nodded Eva in a daze "And how much more will they pay you now?"

"I don't know exactly, since I didn't ask how much the books sell for, but if I say hypothetically it's $10 each, I should get approximately about $7000 if we deduct taxes"

'Shit!' Looking at Christian in disbelief, Eva thought 'Me working all day, 5 days a week, and I don't make half the money my kid makes with a little fun time!'

Although she felt a little bitter inside, the happiness that her child was doing well with her projects was greater.

Smiling happily, Eva hugged the child "I'm glad you're doing well"

"..." Smiling slightly, Christian leaned on his mother, while a burden weighing on him lifted '*Sigh* Now that money won't be a problem, there's only enjoyment left'

...

Tuesday, January 26, 2010.

Grabbing CDs, Christian places them in a small mp3 player and starts it up.

"Introduction to the German Language."

Pressing 'Start', a voice reached his ear, adjusting his headphones a bit, Christian gets out of bed and starts to tidy up his room.

All these months Christian didn't waste, always learning more and more things.

Today he can already speak 8 languages fluently thanks to the discs his mother bought him, discs that teach you to modulate and connect sentences in the selected languages.

His mother bought them after Christian found out about them, and thanks to that he speaks perfectly Russian, Japanese, Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Latin and Greek, while only today, he started to learn German.

Each language he learned became easier, to the point that he mastered Greek in just one day, and although the native accent is something he can't master in one day, he can master it in two, as long as he has someone to speak it in front of him, or in his case, someone who speaks it for his purchased CDs.

Although the discs last many hours each, it's not something Christian finds tedious.

Somehow, Christian found that learning something new is the most fun he can experience, obviously underneath spending time with his family.

And well, speaking Latin in front of his siblings and seeing their terrified faces is something he finds quite entertaining, this being his main source of motivation to learn this language.

"Christian, we're leaving in 30 minutes, get dressed and come eat!"

"I'm coming!" wearily, Christian shouts "Detesto manhãs, especialmente manhãs como esta em que tenho de ir à escola..." (I hate mornings, especially mornings like this when I have to go to school-Portugues)

Finishing making his bed and arranging his clothes, Christian quickly gets dressed and goes downstairs with his backpack on his back, then sits down at the table and eats toast, while his brothers looked dazedly at the food, still not fully awake.

Finished eating, Christian got up from his seat and went to his mother's room, finding her just putting on his pants, while his torso is still bare.

Pulling out his headphones and pausing the mini cd player, Christian sighs "Mom, you're rushing me and you're still not dressed."

"I couldn't find clean underwear, I ended up wearing yesterday's" Eva grumbled as she buckled the belt of her pants.

Shaking his head, Christian walks over to the bed and grabs his mother's black bras, then climbs towards the bed and gestures for her to come over.

"Hehe~" With a smile, Eva walks over to her boy and turns her back to him.

Smiling, Christian reaches out his arms and holds his mother's breasts "They got bigger..."

Squeezing a little to feel their softness and warmth, Christian notices that, even if just a little, his mother's breasts are still growing to such an extent, that even with his hand he can't take a third of them.

But well...

His hand is quite small for his age.

"*Sigh* These things are annoying" Eva sighed wearily.

"I like them..." Christian whispers, squeezing them lightly to relax with the sensation.

"If my boy likes them, all good~" Eva smiled, moving her hand to take Christian's hand and squeeze her breasts "But now put my bra on I have to take you to school."

"Okay" Smiling softly, Christian pulls his hands away from his mother's, and places the bra over her breasts "Lift your hands up"

With his mother's hands out, Christian pulls the clasps of the bra together and closes them, then reaches up and tucks his hands under the bra, carefully accommodating his mother's breasts in them, avoiding off-center nipple damage.

Nodding with satisfaction, Christian slowly withdraws his hands and nods "Ready, hand me your shirt and turn around"

"Here"

Receiving the shirt, Christian looks at his mother's smiling face and sighs, "I'm getting you all wrong getting used to it, you should dress yourself"

But even though he was complaining out loud, Christian felt immense satisfaction in these small moments.

With the shirt on, Christian carefully buttoned button by button, only to frown at two particular buttons, the ones on his chest.

"No, this shirt won't fit, it's too tight on you, even your bra is showing on the sides" Christian pointed to his mother's chest, noting with frustration how tight it looks.

"Never mind, it's just a bra" Rolling her eyes, Eva turns away to go to the kitchen, only to be held by Christian.

With confusion, Eva turns and asks "Is something wrong?"

With absolute seriousness on his boyish face, Christian nods with a frown "Change your shirt"

"But this one is fine..."

"I don't like it, change it"

Raising her eyebrows at the boy's stubborn and childish attitude, Eva smiled 'so this is as far as your obsession goes...'

Eva misinterpreted everything, she always thought that Christian can't stand seeing people with messy clothes. These obsessions are quite common in people, not exactly the one about clothes, as they always vary, washing your hands every time you touch something, not putting up with an odd or even number, something not being straight, etc.

But it is understandable, almost no one in this world would think that a child does not want his mother to leave something as simple as bras in sight, let alone think that the child is jealous.

There are cases, yes, but they are very rare, at least for Eva's life.

"Why do you want me to change it?" asked Eva with amusement.

"I don't want anyone else to see mom..." Christian muttered with a dark expression.

But his illusion didn't last long, being broken by his very child.

"You... Are you jealous?" asked Eva in a daze, but still, amusement showed in her eyes.

"No..." Replied Christian with annoyance, but still not letting go of Eva.

"Hehe~" Smiling mischievously, Eva nodded "If it bothers my boy that I wear clothes like this, I'll wear another one."

"Mn" Nodding his head, Christian relaxes and sighs.

Changing his shirt for a bigger one, Christian nods and leaves his mother's room.

Minutes later the whole family was at school, but instead of Eva going straight out as usual, she went downstairs with her children.

"Is something wrong?" asked Christian.

"Nothing, I just have to talk to your headmistress about some business" Smiling slightly, Eva accompanied them as they entered the school, looking curiously at all the children beside her.

Glancing at his mother and then at the children beside him, Alan purses his lips and runs off, quickly walking away from his family.

"What's wrong with him?" bowing her head slightly, Hailie asked.

"He was embarrassed" Christian smiled with amusement.

"Ugh!" She clasped her hands to her heart, Eva looking sadly at the boy running towards the school "My boy was ashamed of me?"

"Alan is always like that, I've heard a lot about him at school, some kids say he's the most popular kid in school" Smiled Christian quizzically 'It feels so weird to say that... but that damn kid has the guts to ignore me even at school.'

Many times Christian when wandering around out of boredom would come across his siblings, usually Hailie with her little friend, and sometimes Alan with a group of boys 'It's pretty funny to see kids so... I don't know what to call them... Stupid? Snobbish?'

'But come to think of it... Even at home he ignores everyone most of the time' Frowning slightly, Christian ponders, then opens his eyes wide 'Oh no! My brother will turn into a snob like those typical annoying bitches!'
