Forbidden Desires - In Love With My Stepbrother

Chapter Eight

WILL'S POV

The boys made up with each other two days later when true to Martin's words, Oscar's girl was caught in bed with Rock who had never said anything about wanting her. It was both funny and annoying but Oscar relayed the news to the guys over a make-up dinner somewhere inside town.

He was remorseful that he had hit Martin and he was not furious at Rock with whom he had caught his girl.

"These girls are not anything to be trusted. Maybe not all of them though, but it is always me getting caught up with the wrong girls, isn't it?"

He asked. He did not look like he was terribly shaken, neither did he look pained. I must confess it was some level of maturity that was to be emulated.

"Your girl just wanted to be with me and I thought it would not hurt to have her just one time."

Rock was saying in apology. It did not sound like one, but Oscar had gone past wanting to fight his dude over a chic. He'd learnt his lesson.

"Yeah. We broke up. Jason said she wanted him too. Can't think of sticking with a chic who wants every guy."

That was not my cue to tell him that his girl had asked me out too so I swallowed some saliva and got busy with my phone.

Although Cain was not about to not say anything.

"Your girl wanted Will too. Good thing he didn't want to be with her." He said.

"That should be the last thing you say with my name mentioned." I warned, feeling myself getting pissed off.

I didn't want to escalate anything or start another fight in what was supposed to be a make-up dinner. Somehow, there was no fight. Oscar apologized to Martin and the evening did not get awry. But I did know something.

Rock was going to date the big bootied girl. He had wanted her too although he had been subtle about it. I liked that the boys were living their best lives, doing sports and getting in relationships with the chics they liked. It made sense that they were not also terrible with school work.

Well, except for I who had almost quit school at some point and ended up failing two courses for the very first time. It made the rounds. I was a good learner and I did not blame the gossip mongers for making it seem like a big deal that I had failed two courses.

"We can not all devise a means to make the girls stay loyal to us but we can decide not to have each other's girls, can we not?"

That was a lousy question from Liam, one of the guys from the football club who paid more attention than he actually spoke when he was in the company of others. No one replied to him so he let it go. Maybe he was afraid that someone was going to be with his girl soon and he did not want that to happen.

I shuddered when I imagined someone from among the guys sleeping with Liz. The thought floated out just as it came. There was an odd confidence I had that she was not that easy to be with. She was not big on chasing the guys she wanted. It made me wonder if she wanted any guy at all.

Maybe not the guys from school. Maybe someone. That someone had to be me. No, that someone needed to be me.

"Let us drink up. No one is ever going to fight over a chic here again. Do we all agree?"

The guys agreed and I did too

"What if two guys were chasing the same girl? What would happen then? Would one have to quit chasing for the other?" Someone asked.

I smirked.

"Ten guys can chase a girl all at the same time. It is entirely up to her to choose who she wants to be with and that is not something to be debated." I replied.

That was the first time I was giving my own opinion and the guys agreed. The past few days had seen me talking little and constantly thinking up ways that I could get to spend some time with Liz. If she wanted to be with me.

She is your step sister. You don't want to get entangled with your own step sister, do you?"

How my mind managed to remind me of that at that point did not make sense, but the stark reality was staring me in the face and there was absolutely nothing I could do to change that.

But it did not make my feelings for her change. It did not make me want to leave her and let the other guys give chase. I knew they already were, and I hoped none of them was going to manage to win her over. It would give me sleepless nights knowing she was with someone else. Worse, it could be an Oscar. Or even Rock.

When I called Liz later that evening to ask why I had not seen her anywhere in school for days, there was no response. She didn't take the call.

I knew what that meant. She didn't want to talk to me and that was fine, as long as I knew where she lived and would visit as and when I wanted to.

I left a text telling her I was going to come to the house for her sake. I knew she would fret. She would fear that our parents might suspect that there was something between us. I wished I cared that much, but I did not.

Nothing I felt for her was a crime. Nothing I felt for her felt like a crime and I was not going to torture myself over something I had no control over. It had to be the first time I wanted a woman and had no control over how I felt for her. I could not put reins on my own feelings and it made me both mad and excited sometimes.
