The Sweet Kind of Wrong

CHAPTER 10

LUKE

I run to my d**k-ass father as I come back from my morning run, he's heading to work. It's not even 6AM. Why am I surprised? He's always like this. I don't even greet him, I pass him as if I'm passing a stranger in the mall but he stops me.

"I'll come back early today," he tells me.

"So? You want me to throw a party, invite a few friends. I don't mind, you know."

"Son look..."

"No, asshole, I'm an asshole to you, Roger so don't call me son. You've never called me that before."

"I'm trying to make our relationship work, Luke," he says.

"Only when it suits you, right? Listen I don't give a flying f**k about you, whether you come back early or late or you never come back at all. I DON'T CARE."

"You should care. We have guests tonight," he stammers.

"I'm guessing it's your business partners."

"No, it's my fiancée. They're coming this evening."

"They?" I ask in wonder. How many women does he have? Did he propose to the whole of Manhattan?

Well we're talking about Roger Williams here, he's capable of anything. I don't understand why he had to be my father. Couldn't God give me another family? I hate this man, I hate him with passion, I can't even control it. He's a dog, a bullshit of a man.

"Yes, they. She and her daughter are coming this evening to have dinner with us. We want you to get to know each other and bond as siblings to be," he says.

"I'm not interested, thank you. You can take them out to Starbucks or McDonald's or KFC, maybe you'll have your little family time."

He cuts me off. "Shut the hell up, boy. Nicole and her daughter are coming for dinner this evening and I expect you to be here on time. Do I make myself clear?" He orders me.

"Crystal. Is there anything else?" I ask him. "If that's all then I'll see you later when mommy and little sis get here," I walk away going inside the house.

He's ready to play happy family with someone he just met and proposed to, and a daughter that's not his. He never cared about me, he never cared about my brother and I but he's ready to take another child and make her his daughter. I wish I had enough money to leave his stupid house and take my brother with me.

I go to the bathroom and take a shower. I miss Jane, I wish she was here in this shower with me, the things I would do to her. I can already hear her moans as I trail my hands through her body, her soft lips on mine, also biting my shoulders as I make her c*m.

Damn I miss her hands pulling me close to her, the smell of her hair, sometimes it smells like peaches, sometimes like cinnamon. Her perfect sized breasts in my palms, her tight walls around my fingers, her legs around my hips. Gosh I miss her. I miss her sweet voice, her laughs, her beautiful green eyes. She's so beautiful, she's an angel, she's a God sent, she's perfect, she's phenomenal. I can never resist her.

I feel my bulge growing hard at the thought.

Fuck!

Just by thinking about her and I become hard every single time. What's wrong with me? What's so special about this girl?

Oh Jane, you're gonna pay for this, I promise you.

I put my fingers around my raging hard and stroke myself. That's the only way to get rid of the horniness in me.

"Hey bud! You want to take a ride with me?" I ask my little brother, Adrian as he plays video games in the living room.

"Where are we going?" He asks excitedly, looking at me with glimmer in his eyes.

"We're going to the gas station. I just don't want to go alone."

"Okay, let's go." He turns off the TV and comes towards. "You're going to buy some snacks for me."

"I know I don't have a choice with you but okay. Come on."

We leave the house heading to the garage. We enter my car and drive to the gas station.

I pull up in the garage and I notice a red Porsche parked in my spot. Just by looking at it, it's taking my breath away, I love cars and this one here just does it for me. Whoever owns it must be loaded. I'm sure it's one of Roger's business partners.

We make our way to the inside and we get to the lounge to Roger laughing on the phone. I'm guessing his new family isn't here yet. I climb the staircase going to my room and rest there.

Not a few minutes passes, Adrian comes in disturbing my short rest.

"The new family is here," he forces a smile, showing that he doesn't want this family thing to go on.

"Already?"

"Yep."

"What time is it?" I check the time, it's almost six PM.

"Between you and I, I want this so called get together to be over and done with as in yesterday," Adrian closes the door.

"Don't worry, let's just go with the flow. It'll be over before we know it," I tell him. "Who knows? Maybe we'll be inseparable after this dinner." We both laugh.

My brother is just like me, when he doesn't like something, he never hides it, I too.

"Come on," I squeeze his shoulder and we head downstairs.

"I can't wait to finally meet them. I'm sure they look exactly like you," a lady says as we make our way downstairs.

"Oh! There they are, my wonderful sons," Roger smiles pointing at our direction.

"Boys! Meet Nicole, my wife to be," he continues.

I stare at Nicole. Good choice, Roger, she's beautiful, like gorgeous. But I swear I've seen her before, I can't remember where but I'm sure I've seen her.

"Nice to meet you, Nicole. I'm Luke and this is my brother, Adrian," I shake her hand.

"Oh wow! Such handsome young men, honey. My daughter is in the kitchen, she likes keeping busy so she's helping Monica out," she mutters.

"No problem, we'll meet her eventually, we're not going anywhere right?" I muse.

"Exactly, I like you already," Nicole chuckles.

"Mom, we need help in the kitchen."

I know that voice, I can make it out even on my sleep. I recognize it because I've grown to love it. That can only be one person. But what is she doing here?

I turn to look at her, I want to confirm my suspicions and to my shocking surprise... it's her.

Jane?!

What the hell is she doing here? How does she know my house? She's Nicole's daughter. Yes, now I remember. I saw their picture on i********:.

"Jane, sweetie. This is Adrian and his brother Luke."

Jane's gaze shifts to me and she drops the bowl she is carrying after seeing me. The shock in her eyes says it all, she can pass out any minute. The sound the breaking bowl makes us both snap out it. I run to her as she backs away from the bowl.

"Are you okay?" I ask her and she bends over to pick up the broken pieces.

"Nice to meet you," she murmers avoiding my gaze.

"It's okay, I'll clean that up," Monica tells us both.

"Can I use the bathroom, please." She mutters.

"Straight to your left," Monica shows her.

She runs to the bathroom and enters.

This is a joke, it's totally a joke. Jane is going to be my step sister. My girlfriend will become my sister? This- I cannot believe it.

Suddenly I feel a lump in my throat, my head is spinning. This is a mess, it's beyond me. I need to be alone. How come? How is this possible? I lean on the couch behind me, my hands on my head. I can't describe how I'm feeling inside right now. I feel numb all of a sudden. I can't deal with this right now, I need to be alone, I need to think. Think about what? I don't know.

"Are you okay, Luke?" Adrian asks.

No I'm not.

"Ye... yes, I'm okay," I lie.

"You look pale, you're not okay," he mutters.

"No I jus... I'm fine. I just have a headache, it'll be over soon."

"Okay."

"Are you sure you're okay, Luke?" Nicole asks slightly touching my forehead.

"I'll be fine, it's nothing serious. Thanks." I force a smile and walk away. "I just need to get something from my room." I rush upstairs and lock myself in my room.

What the hell just happened? How come she's going to be my step sister? My girlfriend, my newfound girlfriend. The one I'm falling hard for, the one who caught my attention the first day I saw her in school. Why are you doing this to me, Lord? I walk around the room not knowing what to do. I need to talk to her. Yes I need to talk to her right now, right now.

I walk out of my room, running downstairs, I spot the parents at the back patio. I look around the house and nothing. I make my way to the bathroom and knock, still nothing. Where is she?

"I think that will be all," I hear her saying in the kitchen. I make my way there, she's with Monica.

"Oh hey my boy! Dinner will be ready just now. I know you're impatient when it comes to food," Monica mocks and I chuckle a little. Thank God she hasn't noticed the tension between Jane and I.

"I'll take this to your parents, I'll be back," she says, taking some of the plates and leaves us. My gaze shifts to Jane and man isn't she furious. I'm just as furious as she is. I take a few breaths in and out and speak.

"We need to talk now," I pull her hand and leave the kitchen leading her to the staircase.

"Luke wait."

I don't listen, we make it up the staircase and I lead her to my room and lock the door behind me.

"What the f**k, Janet?"

"What do you mean what the f**k? What are you doing here? Are you really Roger's son?" She asks in anticipation.

"Yes I am and you're Nicole's daughter."

"Yes. What, we're goning to be family now?" She coos.

"Well, it looks like it," I respond sternly.

"Wow! This... this is crazy," she whispers.

"Yeah."

"How come? Your last name is Williams and Roger is Williams. I'm so stupid," she says. "It's been over a month now. I've seen Roger almost every day ever since I started in my new school. Not once did it cross my mind that he's your father."

"This is a mess," I mumble.

"A mess, Luke? This is a disaster." She sits down, her palms on her face, her feet tapping the floor. We remain like that for a while until she decides to speak.

"What now? What do we do?"

"I don't know. I'm just um... I don't know Jane. My head is spinning like crazy, I feel like I'm dreaming."

"There is one way and it's the only way," she says.

"What?" I ask. She better not suggest we break up, I won't leave her especially for Roger, never.

"We have to break up, it's the only way."

"Forget it, that's not happening. We can't break up, Jane."

"Then what do you suggest, Luke? Carry on in secret and wait for them to find out? They're our parents, Luke, they deserve to be happy. We can't deprive them that."

"I don't know about you but I give no flying damn about Roger, he can die for all I care. This..." I point at the both of us. "it's not ending."

"Luke, listen, I love my mom and I want her to be happy. If making her happy means me giving up my own happiness then so be it. I can't do this, I'm sorry, my mom comes first."

"So our relationship doesn't come first? Is that what you're saying?"

"No that's..."

"Don't you feel anything for me at all?" I ask.

"You're being ridiculous, Luke. Where's that coming from?" She asks standing ip

"Answer me."

"I'm not doing this. We have to break up whether we like it or not. They'll never approve of us."

"I don't care, I don't need their approval or whatsoever, Jane."

"You have to understand, there's nothing we can do but this. We can't be together, that's a fact," she says.

"Are you serious?"

"It is what it is, Luke. I'm sorry." She starts walking towards the door.

I immediately pull her back against me and begin to kiss her neck from behind. She moans softly at the feeling of my lips against her neck and the way my hands explore her body.

I slide my hands under her t-shirt, up her tummy to her chest. I move the bra she has on up to her chest.

"Mmm." She moans slowly as I cup her breasts and caress them softly, pinching her n*****s. As I do so, the bulge in my pants grows harder. She leans back against me still moaning.

"You'll break up with me?" I take her earlobe in my mouth, nibbling softly.

Her breathing quickens as I slide my hand down her tummy to the waistband of her panties.

"Luke."

"Answer me, Sugarplum. You want us to break up?" I slide my fingers in her panties, parting her folds. She's drenching wet, my bulge grows even harder. I stroke her c**t, also pinching her n*****s.

"We don't." She starts, breathless, holding my hand hard, directing me to stroke harder. "Oooh yes!" She moans softly. "We don't have a choice, Luke."

"Are you sure?"

"Luke, oh my God! Mmm!"

I turn her around making her look at me. As expected, her eyes are full of lust and desire. She looks so beautiful, perfect is the right word to describe her. She's perfect, even when she's turned on, she's more perfect. Why is she becoming my step sister? Why her? Of all people in the world, her. This is so f****d up, she bites her lower lip driving me crazy. I let my lips locks with hers and she immediately reciprocates, pulling the sides of my t-shirt. We kiss for a long while until she pulls back, our foreheads touching, we both catch our breaths.

"Please understand, we don't have any choice but to do this," she mutters.

Why is she insisting on us breaking up? I don't want us to break up.

"Jane."

"Shh! Please, we have to. If not for your father then do it for me," she murmurs.

She hit right in the core. I don't know what to say. I can do anything for her, that's how hard I've fallen for her. She means that much to me.

"Please."

I find myself nodding at her stupid request.

Really Luke?

"We should go back. I'm sure they're waiting for us," she says.

"Where were you two? We've been waiting for you," Roger asks as Jane and I join them at the table.

"Oh! Luke was just showing me around the house. You have a beautiful house by the way, Roger," Jane lies sitting down.

Roger smiles at her.

"Look at you bonding already. I like that," Nicole remarks. Only if she knew.

"So now that we're all here, I want to say something,"Roger starts." Luke, Adrian! I know my relationship with you boys has been a rocky one since your mother died. I haven't been the best father to you but I intend to change that now. Meeting Nicole has been a great help for me, more like a revelation of what parenting should be like."

Are we really doing this right now? Roger is busy playing perfect parent as if we need him. Our relationship with our parents was never a good one, they were never there and pretending to apologize to us now isn't going to fix that. I don't know what's wrong with Roger but something really is wrong with him. I won't argue with him, I'm not in the mood especially now that Jane suggested we break up for them. I guess it's true when they say life is not fair. It isn't fair, I'm a witness to that.

"I've been watching Nicole and Jane's relationship and how close they are. It made me think of my two precious sons and I questioned myself. 'Am I the father my sons both need?' I came up with one conclusion: I need to be better, I need to do better, I need to do right for my sons," he continues.

"Can we eat already?" I hear myself saying. I didn't plan on saying that, it just came out. Sometimes I can't control my mouth.

"Just a minute, son. All I'm saying from now I'll do my absolute best to be the father you both need. I promise you."

"Can't wait." I mumble. Jane looks at me confused.

"Let's toast to that," Nicole says. "To new beginnings."

"To new beginnings," we all say in unison.

We all raise our glass and toast.

The dinner with Jane and her mother goes well even though I'm not really focusing on anything. My mind is not here, all I'm thinking about is Jane and her stupid suggestion. I want her as my girlfriend not as my sister.

Why is my life always a roller-coaster? Wherever I turn, I get disappointed left, right and center. It's almost like I don't deserve to be happy. Jane was meant to be my escape from this miserable life but then she gets taken away too. Maybe I don't deserve to be happy.

Yes, that's the only explanation. I don't deserve to be happy.

"Are you okay?" Monica asks me as I'm standing at the balcony staring into space, so lost in my mind.

"I'm fine," I force a smile.

Whom am trying to convince? Monica can tell when I'm not okay, she raised me. She's never believed my lies before and she won't start now.

"Alright, when you're ready to tell me, you will right?" She asks. I say nothing but nod in return.

"Come on, Nicole and Jane are leaving. Come say goodbye."

"I'm right behind you, mama," I mutter.

She kisses my cheek and leaves.

"Goodnight boys, I hope to see you again in my house this time," Nicole says.

"We should do dinner again," Roger coos.

"Absolutely, Jane and I will prepare our favourite meal," Nicole mutters.

Jane's favourite meal, now I can't wait.

"Looking forward to that," I suddenly say to everyone's hearing.

"Me too. You'll hear from me," Nicole says.

"Mom, we should go, it's getting late. It was nice meeting you, guys," Jane stammers avoiding locking eyes with me.

"You too, Janet," I smirk and she reddens immediately. I love the effect I have on her.

"Alright, let's go home, honey. See you soon, guys," Nicole and Jane finally leave.

Sugarplum, we're not breaking up, no matter what you say.

"That went well," Roger coos.

"Very, I've never seen you so pretending. You're so good at it."

"Luke, stop it!" Monica warns me.

"It's alright, mama. I'm going to sleep anyway. Goodnight." I climb the staircase and head to my room. I put my earphones on and listen to music while thinking about the girl who just dumped me to make my s**t ass father happy.
