My Stepbrother-Too Hot To Handle

DAMIEN:

“I am sorry for the water spill on your shirt, darling. Do you want me to come lick your chest dry for you?” She said another again out of the blue, and I used one of my hands to cover her mouth.

“Oh, dear. You must have lost an ounce of morality since yesterday night,” I scolded as I tapped her forehead, and she whimpered with a cute frown which made me chuckle.

“You want just milk? Don’t you think sugar would work better too?” Dabby suddenly switched the talk, and I raised my eyes to see her Mum coming down the stairs and looking so drowsy.

“I think I’ll just wait for breakfast. I have taken too much cereal these days,” I went with the flow of things and walked to the fridge to bring out chilled strawberries.

“Morning everyone. How are you feeling now, Damien?” Joanna asked as soon as she got to the kitchen, and I chuckled again.

“Morning. I feel the best now. Thank you,” I replied to her with a modest smile and turned away, while Dabby told her Mum to go back to her room and get dressed for work before breakfast would be ready.

Joanna shortly after Dabby had to repeat her sentence three times, and Dabby turned to me with a smile after she was gone. She leaped on her toes and sneaked a kiss on my lips which caught me off guard before she continued what she was doing like nothing happened between us.

“My Mum is supposed to be a detective. She catches on to things very fast and is freaking inquisitive,” Dabby uttered as she told me to get plates, “She was questioning me in a very frustrating way, and I said I’d rather be your girlfriend than your sister.”

“What? What did she say after that?” I inquired.

“I just acted like I spewed some gibberish and random thoughts and left immediately. I am sure that she isn’t convinced,” Dabby speculated as she served the food on plates, while I helped her to carry the food to the dining table.

“So would you be my girlfriend?” I blurted out suddenly, and Dabby’s eyes widened in surprise because she was probably not expecting me to say something like that. As much as I wanted to take things slow, my heart couldn’t.

“What? You are crazy,” Dabby shrilled with a wide grin, and I laughed.

“Maybe I am. And it’s because of you,” I smirked.

We had breakfast together with our parents, and it was the best I have had in a long time. Dabby and I didn’t say anything while eating, but we communicated telepathically while she just smiled uncontrollably. After breakfast, we left for school together.

Dabby played her song list in the car as I drove slowly to school, and it was intriguing to find out that we both listened to almost the same type of music.

She danced and sang loudly to the song as it played, and it was so cute to watch her unleash her craziness before me. Suddenly, I remembered that picture I had seen with Dabby again.

“Dabby. About that friend that you said was from your past or something. Would you still like to meet him?” I paused and allowed her to process what I was saying in her head, because she was still singing loudly to the blasting music from the car.

“What friend?” She asked by the time she finally realized that I was talking to her.

“The one from the picture.”

“Don’t tell me you are jealous,” she let out a taunting grin on her lips.

“Of course, no. I’m just curious,” I responded frustratedly, and she chuckled again and again.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course, I would. He was my best friend in the orphanage. If I cried, he would comfort me. Even with his very cold personality. I cried so much when he left,” Dabby said while reminiscing on her past, and I just smiled.

It was crazy to know that the same guy she was talking about was me, when I couldn’t remember how and when I stayed at an orphanage. And I was still going to find out what connection I had to that past that I had forgotten.

We went to school together, and it was just normal stares and no talk. She went to her class afterward to probably be with Mason, and it was pretty much me and Xavier hanging out together. Bryan was openly friends with Jasper already, and that was the new talk in school.

I and Xavier hung out after school to make up for lost time, but my mind was filled with the thoughts of Dabby. I liked hanging out with her more than anybody, and I missed not talking to her the entire day at school.

Barely one hour, I told Xavier that I had many things to do at home and we bade farewell. I chatted with Dabby that I was home already, and she came around a few minutes later too.

We talked and laughed about so many things, and she told me that her Mum wanted her to quit her job at the cafe. We went to my room to play video games too, and she beat me thoroughly after we made a bet that the loser does what the winner wants.

She asked me what my plans for gaming were, and I said that I was going to take a long break because I was still heartbroken.

“You cannot quit, Damien. I will help you the best that I can. I am a gaming pro, remember,” she tried to persuade me, and I didn’t want to talk about it.

“I can still do it some other time. Maybe after school or something,” I dissuaded immediately.

“That is what I want for the reward of our bet, Damien,” she said as she turned to me with a deadpan serious face.

‘Holy shit. Just how can I deal with this without getting angry and ruining this moment?’
