Chapter 18

    Immediately, Xavier moved away from me. We stared at each other for a while listening to get if the voice was just our imagination.

   "Xavier!!" Mum raised her voice "Can you please come to help me pull this inside?" She sounded distressed "Dad is carrying something"

  I listened well to hear rattling sounds like she was trying to pull something inside. My heart skipped a beat and nearly exploded!

   'What will she do if she sees us like this? Will she tell my stepdad?'

    I can't even stand the shame to come as I felt like melting. It was like my brain had stopped working same as my heart as I felt my breath seize and I began to suffocate.

   "Emily" Mom's voice sounds faint. It was like she had gone back outside or is in the kitchen "Xavier?" She called again.

   Before I could open my mouth to say a word, Xavier's large palm covered my mouth. His expression was warning! He didn't want me to make a sound but that can never be possible when his free hand fingers picked my nipples before placing his index fingers in between his lips.

    Swiftly but yet gently, he pushed me into the bathroom and then closed the door. I couldn't tell what he was doing but I know he would be probably doing something to get dressed and calm his hard self.

   I rested on the wall and put on the shower, My body trembled as I hugged myself.

   In this state, I don't know what to think or how to feel. I don't know if I should still feel scared, confused, or strange. I didn't expect any of what just happened, not even when Xavier pulled me closer and claimed my lips.

    After we kissed the first time, I could not believe I will make such a mistake again to the point of kissing him back. My fingers went on my lips as I imagined his lips still on mine, kissing me.

    The heat and sweet sensation burning between my thighs became something I could resist. The way his hard dick pressed against my stomach and his large palm compressing my boobs made me wet and hornier.

    The fact that Mom almost caught us made me scared, like, what could have happened if she had just walked in and saw us both naked and about to have sex.

   Yes!

   Xavier's hands were on my waistband and about to pull it down. If he had succeeded in taking it off and having sex with me at the bathroom door, that would only mean I lose my virginity to my stepbrother who would later classify it as a huge mistake.

   "This can't be happening!" I slapped my forehead "Wake! Wake up, Emily" I cried.

    If I stay here all day, going to school would be something I wouldn't want to do. My hair wasn't wet giving me the option of thinking of washing it or just making sure to comb it properly.

   "I miss Daddy!" I sighed as I washed my body making sure not to wet my hair, I changed my mind.

   If I was still with him, getting to make my hair good would not be a problem. Not when I have people to help me wash and style it. My choice of dress too had never been my problem to settle until my Mom took off with me and here I am, standing in the bathroom I share with my hot stepbrother.

   The noise in the room had reduced, it could be that Xavier had gone to help out parents bring in whatever they were carrying. Even as at that, They are not supposed to be back until after two months as they said.

   "It's not even up to two weeks"  I muttered.

   Slowly, I pushed the door open and took my head outside, The last thing I wanted to see Xavier it let him see me naked again. My towel had dropped when I was making out with Xavier. Just thinking about it alone is making me blush and horny, I can bet that I look like a freaking tomatoes-faced sneaky girl.

   "Good!" I said before completely coming out.

   I rushed towards the door and locked it, what happened before can not happen again, well for the third time.

   Since getting an outfit had never been my problem, I took one of my favorite hoodies and a matching bica short.

   "Urgh!" I shook my head in disapproval "I wore this last Thursday"

   I have literally repeated all my hoodies including the stolen ones. Not that I don't have nice gowns in my closet but getting to go on a matching shoes and makeup is something I would never do so instead, I went back to what I just pulled out.

   I combed my hair, packed it in a messy ponytail, and walked out of the room. Without checking my last look in the mirror, I knew how ordinary and plain I would look. With my brown oversized shirt, white bica shorts, and white sneakers, I should be more than glorified.

   I walked to meet my dad and Xavier setting the table while mom prepared breakfast. Funny enough, it was something we had never had in the morning for a long time, probably since I left my biological father.

  'Why does everything reminds me of my father!?'

  "Hey baby" My mum was the first to notice me.

   Baby?

   What Mum rather call me is Emily and not with the kind of look on her face and the way she was walking toward me. Before I could get to respond, she pulled me into a tight hug and press my chin on her soft chest.

   "I miss you so much!" She gasped.

  My brows connected as I looked up at her, her eyes were stormy, and that us so unusual of her. The look on Dad's face was also something I haven't noticed before, his usual cheerful smile looked worried. It was only Xavier that had his usual cold yet mischievous face.

    "What's going on?" I looked at my parents suspiciously then moved a few feet away "This is unusual" I folded my arms across my chest.

    Mum looked at Dad and smiled sweetly, she removed her cooking apron and handed it to him. Silently, he collected and tied it around his waist. Everything was so strange that even Xavier could notice the awkwardness in the kitchen, his eyes kept moving from me to our parents.

   "Your hair looks like a mess!" Mom gasped as she pulled me away from the kitchen "Let's get it done" she added.

   "No need for that," I said "I already combed it "

   I put my fingers into it in an attempt to make it look better. Even at that, Mom wasn't getting it.

   "Let Mummy fix you up today" Mom cooed "I will park your favorite for lunch for you and drive you both to school," she said cheerfully "And we are having a family bonding outing after school" added.

   My heart stopped beating for a second, I looked at her face terrified and confused.

   'What's up with all this weird behavior? What if she finds out about the detention and gets me grounded? And what is the family outing after school all about?'
