Forced Marriage With My Step-Brother

closer and closer

Closer and closer

It’s been almost a month and a half since I caught Nolan with that girl. I was trying to pretend that he didn’t hurt my feelings but he did. The worst part is that he keeps on having girls over. I can hear the bed frame against the wall almost every night. I always thought that I would marry someone for love. I really have fallen for him and I don’t know how to stop. My life has been going downhill lately.

We're nearing the end of school which means the wedding will be happening soon. It’s been hard at school. Everyone knows that we are marrying for convenience since he keeps on cheating on me with the girls.

I was ready and dressed for school. I wore a yellow ribbed crop top with a black leather skirt. Today I wore my hair down with a part on the side. I put on a little lip gloss and mascara deciding to go natural today. I put on some yellow sandals and black in yellow clips in my hair. I went down for breakfast.

Me and Nolan don’t talk that much, only in school to put on a front. I sat down next to Nolan and Rene put a plate of pancakes in front of me.

“Thank you, Rene. Good morning everyone.” I said putting on my napkin over my lap

No one answered but my mom, “Good morning sweetheart.”

I pretended to eat my food; I just moved it around my plate with my fork. I barely had friends at this new school, so I dreaded it everyday. The only reason why anyone talked to me was to get juicy details about Nolan. I still can’t seem to get over the fact that I thought he liked me. The girls at school keep talking about who he’s going to take to prom. I guess I get why they think he wouldn’t take me, he doesn’t even act like we’re together.

I don’t get how he can be with whoever he wants but I can’t. Am I not allowed happiness? My mother doesn’t even care that I would marry someone who doesn’t love me.

“Okay… prom, graduation, and the wedding is coming up. We must start to prepare. You guys have to match for prom” my mom said excitedly. I rolled my eyes.

“Do we have to go to prom together?” I asked my mom.

“Yes! What type of question is that? You are to be married, how will it look if you go with other people?”

“It doesn’t matter, the whole school already knows that we are marrying for convenience. I’m pretty sure it’s obvious since Nolan brings home a different girl every night.” I said annoyed. 

“What? I knew I heard something. I thought it was you and Nolan.” Zander, Nolans father said.

“I am a virgin, thank you very much and I will not be ever giving my virginity to Nolan. He might have an STD with the amount of women he sleeps with” I said with disgust.

“Thanks for ratting me out.” Nolan said with anger.

“Oh please, shut up. You can’t even be man enough to admit your feelings.” I look at my mother, “you can’t even stand up to zander.” I then at zander, “and you can’t open your eyes and see what’s going on because your big ego is in the way. I’m not going to school today!” 

I gather my things and go to my room; slamming the door. 

If there was a ranking for who had the worst life I would stay in 1st place. I just have to admit that I’ll never be happy. My mom is giving me away like it’s nothing.

“You need to come downstairs and apologize to everyone right this instant!” My mom said bursting through the door. “What’s really wrong?” she asks when she sees my face.

“Don’t pretend like you care! You're giving me away to him and you don’t even care. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and since I’m getting married I never will. It’s my senior prom and I have to go with Nolan. He doesn’t even like me, do you really think I’ll have a good time? Prom is a key highschool experience and I have to go with someone who despises me. I’m sorry Sienna, If I’m not the happiest.”

“Sienna? I am your mother!”

“No, you're my mother-in-law.” I go to my bathroom and lock the door behind me.

She finally left me alone when I agreed to go to school.

Nolan POV:

Nasme had decided to go to school after all. It was hard to stay away from her. When I was with those other girls all I thought about was her and how she could hear us. I know I’m hurting her but in the long run she'll thank me. I’m ensuring a better life for us in the future and our kids.

We would be announcing our engagement today at school. That means no more other girls. I was glad she told my dad that it wasn’t her in the room with me. He doesn't know that I have feelings for Nasme.

When we’re in public it’s the only time I can make an excuse for showing affection towards her. I guess I could be a little nicer to her in public.

It’s been hard not to look at her. She always wore the best outfits, I would peek when she’s not looking. Today she wore a tight leather black skirt with a yellow crop top. I wanted to touch her hair... to touch her.

All I could think about is how she withered beneath me when I touched her that night. I can’t believe I said those mean things to her.

When we finally got to the school, she got out of the car in a hurry. She was trying to get away from me as fast as possible.

“Nasme…” I said running behind her.

She stopped in her tracks and turned around.

“Did you just say something to me?” It sounded like a joke but her face told me she was serious.

“Yeah… We’re announcing our engagement officially today so we need to look like a united front.”

“Why does it matter, why would any of these kids care?”

“Because they’ll tell their parents. They all have rich parents and me being officially off the market means no more other girls.”

She just stood there. I guess she didn’t know what to say.

People were staring at us as they walked into the school.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her toward me in a hug.

“I know I’ve been mean lately. I know I hurt you but it’ll all make sense in due time.” I whispered, kissing her forehead.

Still holding her hand, I led her into the school and to her locker.

All the girls I had been hooking up with were giving Nasme the death stare. I made eye contact with them all making sure to let them know not to mess with her.

She started to open her locker as I leaned on the one next to hers.

“We have to get ready for the interview. I don’t think we need any preparation, just say what you really feel.” I say looking at her beautiful skin.

I ran my eyes over her body. She looked good today. She looked good everyday. Her body, her skin, her face, her hair, everything about her.

I looked around and saw most of the boys gawking at Nasme. Did all the boys in school have a secret crush on my fiance and I didn’t even know it. It seems she doesn’t know it either.

“An interview? For what?” She looked up at me with confusion.

“For our engagement announcement. It’s going to be live at the end of 4th per. Then during lunch I have a surprise planned for you.” I said putting a strand behind her ear.

She was so beautiful.

“Okayyy…” 

I could tell she was surprised by how nice I was being.

“I’ll walk you to class.”

Once we got to Mrs. Delancey’s class I stopped her before she could walk in. I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her toward me. She looked up at me surprised and I leaned in closer toward her.

I kissed her softly at first. I missed her lips so much. Then I dove deeper, making her moan a little.

“Get a room!” Someone in the hallway yelled.

We pulled apart and laughed.

“See you in 4th per.” I said giving her a kiss on the cheek and going to homeroom.
