Twisted Chaos

Aria

Anna and I go back inside to sit down and talk about all the events that have occurred today. She knows me and she always helps me rationalize my decisions before and after I make them. I start to explain to her what happened with Jace after she left, when I get interrupted by a text. I assume it's Stephen telling me he is sorry or some bullshit that I'm not trying to hear. I'm wrong, it is worse. When I look at my screen, I see a message.

Hey, I'm in town and I want to catch up. I will be there at noon to pick you up. - Gabriel

Anna seeing the shocked expression on my face asks, "Who was that from? You look like you've just seen a ghost." I feel sick. I thought he was gone. I didn't expect to hear from him, not now, not ever again. Gabriel Madden, my rich arrogant asshole of a stepbrother. He's a big-time architectural designer in the city. Gabriel is tall, coming in at six feet five inches and sexy as hell. With dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, he can make any girls panties drop and he knows it. Gabriel is a man whore, who thinks he's God's gift to women. I know all these things, but I have always had a thing for him. All he has ever done is play with my head. 

Ever since his dad, Anthony, married my mom, Melinda, the relationship with Gabriel has been intense. We haven't seen each other in five years. He left one day and never came back. I didn't get a call, not a text, nothing. I used to look up to him until things got complicated. We had some moments when we were younger. He is older so we never had sex, at least not until I was 18. I honestly think he just slept with me to fuck with my head and prove that he could. 

I hand Anna the phone so she can see what is going on. I can't deal with this right now. I'm dizzy with confusion and feel overwhelmed. What the hell is going on? I definitely need another drink. What else could happen today? First, a stalker breaks into my house. My head of security was nowhere to be found, because he was out fucking some whore. I got spanked by a cop that I can't stop thinking about fucking and now my stepbrother whom I thought had dropped off the face of the earth is randomly back in the picture. This is just too much. Anna looks at me with a concerned look on her face. "Ari, I love you and I know today has been stressful, but you know you can't go with him. He isn't good for you. He makes you crazy and fucks with your head." Anna is completely Anti-Gabriel. She always has been. Even when we were younger, she couldn't stand the ground he walked on. Anna is a very good judge of character, knowing who is good and who is not. From the get-go she has tried to keep me away from him. Of course, she knows I'm going to do whatever I want, because I never listen. I do know she's right, though. 

Gabriel and I are like fire and gasoline when we're around each other. Part of me doesn't want to go but the other part of me knows that I have to. "I know Anna, but you know if I don't go, he will come here. That wouldn't be good. Stephen and he don't get along and Jace could show back up. I'm not going to let him work his way back into my head. Besides I have my mind set on Jace. He's my main focus right now." She smacks me on the arm and laughs, "Girl, you know you have dick A.D.D, you will lose interest in this one too. I give it a couple weeks. I love you but you and I both know you are kind of a whore. I say that with the most love possible." I laugh hard and nod. "Ugh. I know. But I think this one is different. He lights a fire in me that I have never felt before. I can't explain it. I think he could be exactly what I need. You never know, maybe he will be the one to make me settle down one day." She rolls her eyes. "I'll believe you can commit to one person when I see it. You can't just be with one man A, you need different things, from different people. I really wish you would just give Stephen a try, but I know you aren't trying to hear that. You always just push him to the side and fuck with these random ass dudes. Your track record isn't that good you know?" I stick my tongue out and laugh, "Well fuck you too, bitch. I love you and I promise I will behave with Gabriel. As for Stephen, you know how I feel about that. I love him, but he just isn't dominant enough for me. I'm dominant in every other aspect of my life. I need someone to take charge in bed. Someone to put me in my place. Come on, we have discussed this before. Stephen is like a puppy; I need a Pitbull." Just as I finish my spiel, I get another text.

Don't ignore me princess. You better be ready at noon. Or you are going as you are. -G

Fuck. I finally get up the courage to respond to him. I don't even think before I type. Which is always a big mistake.

Don't call me that asshole. But Fine I'll be ready but if you are one minute late, I'm not going. I'm only going as it is because I know you won't leave me alone if I don't. -A

I know I shouldn't have said that it's just going to add fuel to the fire, and he will fuck with me more just to spite me. Ugh, he is already starting to get to me, and I haven't even seen him yet. Fuck, why? What is it about him that gets to me so bad? I mean I know he is sexy, but I can have any guy that I want. Why does he affect me so much? He's nothing but a man whore and not to mention it's wrong. He's my stepbrother. I'm pretty sure I'm fucked up in the head. Another message comes through, interrupting my thoughts. My heart skips a beat when I read what it says.

I will call you what I want, you know you like it princess. You don't have to try to hide it anymore. I won't be late. I don't plan on missing the opportunity of seeing those perky tits of yours in person. And you are right I will never leave you alone. - G

Could he possibly know how much he gets to me? Fuck. I need to start getting ready so I can get this over with.
