His Luckiest Mistake

Six

I am planning to go for a dip in the pool today, it's summer, and I have to do something other than lay in my room all day. My mom went with David to his office building to discuss the wedding with the people David hired to organize it.

I was excited and nervous but I knew it was for the best, plus it was scheduled 3-2 weeks before I fly back to Boston.

David owns a Wine company that's why Samuel has a huge wine cellar in his own house back in Boston. Talk about rich.

I settled for a sage green v-cut style bikini and grabbed my sunglasses from my drawer before making my way to the backyard.

The pool is huge and round because of the circle lounge area in the middle and the bridge that leads to it. Tall trees surround the tall fences, the yard is big, and it has a minibar and a dining table on the side with a glass roof, and also another lounge area across the dining table that has a fireplace in the center.

There was a sun lounger by the pool and some in the water.

I sat on the lounger by the pool and straightened it so I could lie on my stomach and rest my face on my arms.

I heard some footsteps as I looked up and saw Ella walking up to me with Samuel trailing behind her as they spotted me. She was wearing one one-piece swimwear and I couldn't even look at Samuel by his face because my eyes were glued to his torso, it looked like it was sculpted by the gods, luckily I was wearing dark sunglasses so he would not see me gawking at him.

Ella excitedly waved at me and when she stood in front of me, she began to talk about me swimming with her. I told her maybe after I get some sunlight I might go.

"Oh and can you please apply some sunscreen on my back?" I inquired.

"Ella, you can go enjoy the pool, I can do it for her." Samuel's voice replied.

I didn't mind as I had been longing for his touch since I saw him. Kill me for acting this desperate. I know he is not good for me and we can't do anything since he's my lovely stepbrother.

I buried my face back into my crossed arms as I felt him sit beside me, It took a moment before I felt his hands on my upper back as he undid my bikini top painfully slow, his fingers caressing discreetly, sending electric shocks to my skin.

The tropical sun beat down upon us, and I heard him open the sunblock and squirt a small amount in his hands before hesitantly touching my skin, his hands started to move but his movements were soft and slow as he applied the cream to my back and lower.

I let out a soft sigh as he continued to rub it in, his fingers inching closer to my spine. He moved some of my hair aside, exposing the bare skin of my neck, I felt him leaning in closer, his breath hot against my skin.

"Do you like to torture people Isabella?" He whispers to my ear.

"I find it delightful." I turned my head to the side and smiled at him.

He scoffs, tying my top back, I sit up and stare at him with a secure look.

"You think you're so slick, huh?" he brings his hands to my cheek sliding it down my neck. I watch his eyes intently waiting for him to do something.

His finger pulled my bra strap before letting it go hitting my skin. I flinched at the contact. He stood up and went to the outside table leaving me there dumbfounded.

This guy makes me wanna kill him.

Later on, A group of people walked through the double doors, mostly guys and only two girls. They were waving at Samuel, probably his friends. I ignored them and watched Ella dive into the water, she's pretty good at it.

I don't know how to swim, but I like the water, I stop when I know it's deep so I don't drown.

I moved to another lounger that was floating in the water so I could be closer to Ella, I could sense the people noticing me.

"Hi, Issa." She beamed at me but paused when she heard a girl giggle. "Ugh, she's here again?" she huffs.

"Who is?" I asked following her line of sight. She was glaring at some blonde-haired petite girl who was clinging to Samuel's arm. I guess we're now both giving her a death stare.

"Who is she?" I turned to Ella.

She rolls her eyes at her before looking at me. "Let's just say she's a huge fan of my brother." she chuckles and continues. "She's the most fake doll I've ever met.

I nodded before darting my eyes from her back to them, a guy whistled my way shouting. "Who is this chick?" before some could speak, Samuel smacked the back of his head muttering something under his breath.

"Wanna go grab lunch?" I proposed.

"Yes, please I'm so hungry, I'll be right with you in a while." Ella jumped in the water splashing me a bit.

I stood up, and the water dripped down my body as I walked and grabbed a towel and my stuff from the lounger and went inside the house passing by his friends.

•••°•••

"What would you like?" The lady asked us while smiling widely.

I pointed at the salad on display. "That and an iced tea please," I said before letting Ella order by my side.

"Can you order for me? I'd like a club sandwich paired with a strawberry milkshake." she anxiously stood behind me. "Please, thank you."

She was probably nervous so I gladly ordered for her, I signaled her to sit at the nearest table and she nodded and sat down quickly waiting for me. I gave her a quick smile before turning back to the cashier and taking out my wallet from my pocket.

After I paid, I walked to our table and sat across from her, "Have you ever ordered from a cafe before?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No, my dad always does it when we go out and we barely go out." she gave me a tight smile.

"It's okay, you'll be able to learn how to order on your own soon," I assured her.

We started talking about our favorite things in the world and she seemed to be enjoying my company. I made her laugh a few times, and I liked talking to her. We shared some of our hobbies and learned about our similarities. It's nice to talk about your interests in life with someone eager to listen.

Soon our conversation was paused when a waitress delivered our order and we started eating and talking a bit now.

"Do you wanna head somewhere after this?" I asked while I stabbed the fork into my salad.

She thinks for a while before saying. "Wanna go skating in town?"

I hesitated. "I've never gone skating before." I chuckled.

"I can teach you, I'm a master at it." She winks at me and laughs. "I promise I won't let you fall," she told me.

"Sometimes I fall on myself," I replied.

"Then be careful because I'm too small to catch you." She snickered. "I'm not saying you're big, I'm just telling you I'm weak." I chuckle at her.

"Fine," I give in.

This is totally not what I was expecting, I mean I was expecting to fail many times but not all the time. Ella laughed at me and tried to help me at the same time. I suck at this and my butt was freezing at this point.

"I can't do this Ells." I wined trying to balance. "As much as I want to learn this is not working."

She skated towards me and grinned. "Come on, I'll teach you again, lift one foot as you glide, set that foot down, and lift the other," she instructs me as I try what she said. "Just repeat the process until you are comfortable with it," she says beside me.

I glided but slowly and almost slipped but did it. I sighed in relief. "It's tricky at first but you'll be able to learn it." she held both my hands as she skated her front facing mine, holding me as I skated with her.

"I think I'm starting to get it." I look at her my smile big.

"Okay just do that, I'll take my hand off now." she pulled her hand from mine and I glided on the ice.

"Wow." the feeling feels so good as the cold air hits me as I pass by many people on the ice enjoying the breeze and sensation. I was having fun when I was close to someone in front of me, how do I stop? Oh s**t. How could she forget to teach that? I'm gonna die.

"ELLA," I shrieked.

and that's how I ended up in a nearby clinic, I hit my head on the ice and scraped my arm. Luckily I didn't get a concussion I think, because my arms were supporting my head so it was scraped and my head hit the ice.

Ella was apologizing nonstop and I repeatedly told her that it was okay, it was both our faults and I won't blame her for it.

My head was spinning for a while but it should be gone soon. The nurse applied an ointment to my scratches and I was good to go but I was advised to rest in case It was serious.

"I called Samuel earlier, he should be here by now." Ella sat on a stool beside the bed.

"Why, where are Mom and David?" I asked her while caressing my forehead.

"They're still at the company," she told me. "They won't answer so I called Sam." I nodded.

While we waited, Ella placed her head down on the mattress and took a nap as she was tired and sleepy, and I was staring at the ceiling as minutes passed by. "Why are there two light bulbs?" I whisper to myself.

L

ater Samuel entered the room panting, his hair was disheveled, and his shirt was crumpled. he looked like he was rushing here, but I might be wrong and he might've had s*x and was disturbed.

"We're you busy doing something?" I asked to be sure.

"No, I was asleep." He walks towards me.

"Really?" I raised my eyebrows. "You're totally not f*****g a friend?" I grinned at him.

"I don't f**k everyone," he informed me before examining my face and my arm. "Are you okay now?" he asked with a serious face.

"No, I see two of you." I honestly replied.

Ella woke up by the noise and noticed Samuel. "Hi, Sam." Her voice is raspy.

"Let's go home," Samuel said as Ella nods and grabs her things. "I'll wait outside," she says before going out.

"I'm going to carry you unless you wanna walk with a dizzy head." He then slipped his arms over my body and lifted me in bridal style. I didn't complain and wrapped my hands around his neck instead as I leaned my head on his chest feeling his heartbeat. I hummed in response.

I closed my eyes rather than opening them and seeing everything multiplying. While enjoying the feeling of his warmth on mine.
