Accidental one night stand with my stepbrother

Chapter two

The heavy pounding in my head woke me up with a jolt,as I sat upright the whole world seemed to be spinning around with me wondering where I was. Closing my eyes I tried to calm the spinning down while trying to remember how I ended up on this bed. Then the sudden realisation hit me.

Immediately I opened my eyes and looked under the duvet only to find myself completely naked and t red patches all over my body and my lower body ached slightly. The event of the previous night began rushing back to my mind leaving my mouth wide opened.

" Oh no...what have I done". I said to myself as I hurriedly picked up my clothes strewn all over the floor.

Just as I stood up I the noticed blood stains on the bed...that was when it all dawned on me on what exactly happened last night. I quickly rushed to put on my clothes while trying to push of the thoughts flooding my mind.

The stranger was long gone but I could still smell his scent on my body.

" It was just one reckless night...just one mistake, Everything will be fine Phoebe." I muttered to herself trying to calm down as I wore my clothes.

" You're probably not going to meet him ever again... remember we're moving to a new city. We'll start all over again..a fresh start, nobody needs to know what happened." I continued saying to myself.

Then I quickly ran out of the apartment, ignoring the stares from the people downstairs. I had to get home as soon as possible or face another session with my mum which I wasn't ready for.

" Where have you been young lady and where are you coming from?" Eleanor asked me immediately I stepped inside.

" Nowhere mum...I was at Chloe's place all through the night". I replied while avoiding eye contact with my mother.

" Phoebe, I'm your mother and I know exactly how you feel and..." Eleanor suddenly paused and, letting out a deep sigh she turned around and picked up a box. " You know what...just go move your things downstairs, we're leaving in thirty minutes". She said and moved to carry the box outside.

" Are we really doing this mum?" I asked but didn't get any response in return. I then stomped my feet loudly while cursing my luck as I marched to my room.

I got into the tub for a shower and as the warm water fell on my bare body, flashes of last night came rushing back, making my lower body heat up. On one hand I regretted all of it but on the other hand,I kind of enjoyed it all. Quickly pushing back the thought I rushed to get dressed making sure to cover up every visible marks. Then with one final deep breath I stepped out and closed the door.

The drive to our new home took close to three hours,the car was silent throughout the journey with both of us deeply lost in our thoughts. When we finally got to the house, I was shocked by the sight before me.

The large gate opened to welcome us in into the massive courtyard,as we drove in we were welcomed by trees and flowers all around. When we got to the mansion I couldn't believe the sight before me . The building stood tall with about three stories. It gave off a warm and homely vibe.

"Alright Phoebe calm down, remember we're not happy to be here so let's not let all of this get into our head",I said to myself then immediately changed my expression.

When we got down from the car we were welcomed by Richard himself,my mum new husband,and of course...my stepdad

He stood at the entrance with a warm smile and walked up to us still smiling sweetly.

" I'm glad you were able to make it" he said smiling sweetly and moved to hug my mum giving her a kiss. " Welcome home honey". He said lovingly.

" Thanks my love" Eleanor replied in the same loving manner. " I think you should go talk to her." She said to him as she pointed to who was standing at the side pretending to look at the flowers.

He walked up tome stopping just by my side. " Hello Phoebe,nice to have you hear." He said trying to start a conversation. But I just looked at him and turned to continue watching the flowers. This made Richard look lost and helpless.

" My name is Richard, your stepdad...you can call me dad,or better still just call me Richard" he said again.

" Can we go inside now." I said ignoring what he said.

" Of course... this way." Richard ushered us into the living room. " Welcome home my ladies...make yourself comfortable in your new home" he said with wide spread arms.

" We just have to give her some time" she said as she looked at the direction where I stood. " It's not been easy for her and she's still new to all of this...I know with time she will warm up to you"

" I understand honey...I'm going to take it easy with her and give her all the time she needs." He replied.

Meanwhile I just stood at the corner not paying them any attention. I could feel my head already banging from all the drinking from last night and lack of sleep. All I wanted right now was to go to bed,every other thing could wait.

" Have you told Phoebe about him yet?" Richard whispered to Eleanor but I heard him clearly.

" No,not yet...I was waiting for us to get here first" Eleanor said.

" Ehhm...told me about who?...what are you two talking about?." I asked and for some reason I was having a really bad feeling about all of this.

" Phoebe my dear..." Eleanor walked up to me smiling awkwardly" Did I mention to you that you have a stepbrother". The last words came out barely a whisper but oh I heard it loud and clear.

" A step what?!!...".
