falling for my evil stepmother's son

*** ***

"This airplane ride is taking way to fucking long!" James angrily whispered in my ears.

I rolled my eyes and said " James it's only been like 2 minutes we still have an hour and 48 minutes left."

" I don't wanna know that!!" He said glaring at me.

"Well you know now."  I turn away from him and turn my attention to the cloudy clouds outside the airplane window.

I can hear James and Riley arguing on about whose turn to use the iPad, their voice soon became faint as I slowly zoned them out.
Years years ago.....
"Where is my amazing family" I hear my dad yell from the front door.  

"In the kitchen honey." My mother yelled back to him.

"Of course you are!" His right of course we are, the kitchen is basically my mothers second room and I am starting to think she's gonna start moving in there. I mean I wouldn't blame her since she has no job, because my dad didn't want her to work, So she spends all of her  day in the kitchen trying to come up with new recipes and taking care of my siblings and I.

My father came in the kitchen with a tired look on his face, tie untied, and his jacket off and now on his arm.

Riley ran to him while James and I stayed in our sit and just said "hey daddy"

My father chucked" I see you guys are to old to run to ur father?"

" Not only am I to old, I am a male! why the hell would I do such a thing. I got keep my reputation clean as a whistle but she can run to you."

I  look up from the book I was reading to find James pointing at me  with smirk on his face. I gave him the dirtiest look, I than look up to my dad and said " I believe it's quite unbelievable how we have to get out of our way to greet you and mom  as you guys come through the door and passes us why not just greet us yourself!"

My father looked at me and shook his head and let out a chuckle and I turn to see my mother smiling (I don't know if it's from her new recipe or my thoughtful explained opinion) placing some type of new food of hers on top of the counter, she observed it and smelled it.

She than turned to me and said " honey were an adult and your a child"

" no duh mom" I smiled

" I wasn't finished! As an adult such as your father who work all day and stresses by it. It would be nice to have your children run up to you with the tired body you have."

" what about the tired day I had!!"

My mother came up to me and kissed me,  stroked my hair "you guys need to go clean yourself up to eat."

" Mom!"

"What??"

" Are you seriously just gonna ignore me like that?"

" Yes I am stopping before we start an argument that would never Finnish. Now go!"

I rolled my eyes and got up James and Riley fallowed behind me.

As we were walking up the stairs I turn to James and say" what the fuck does hugging your dad has to do with your reputation"

" It doesn't" he said laughing

I looked at him with a confused look "Than why-"

"Because sis the "I am to old"excuse is to.." He stopped and leaned against the railing with his hand under his chin and eyes to the ceiling

"Stupid?" I said

"Nope"

"Old?"

"Yesss! That's the word, the I am to old excuse is to old. So we need to spice it up a bit."

We than hear my mother laughing extremely loudly from downstairs and my father speaking very very low to her. We've walked in them before, these moments usually involve them, sipping wine, making out. My father would than turn the music on, grabs my mother to dance, my mother would start to giggle like a school girl as he whispered sweet nothing to her.

" Their goals!" I said

"That they are!" James said with a nod

We were now standing still upstairs and listening as the music and our parents laugh flows through out the house. Anybody who walks in here would have seen happiness lives here.

The buzzing on my tights snapped me out of my memory land. I picked it up and saw my mother sent a message saying that she forgot to tell us  she placed another ipad  cause knowing James, he already powered through his Phone also  a pack of gum  in my pocketbook for James to take his mind of the ride,  a juice box and another pack of gum for Riley, and for me she left what she knows I do to keep my mind busy whenever I am feeling some type of way. A book to read and a pen and notebook to write.
I sent her a quick ok and gave my siblings the items.
Even though my mother could get on my bad side, she never forgot to remind me of how good of a mother she is. 
It was just 2 Years ago when happiness filled our house but now what it feels like is anger, remorse, and some unwanted memories.  It's crazy how fast something could change for the worst look at us now, leaving one parent behind to go 2299 miles away to spent a year with the other.
I guess you could say happiness doesn't last long even if we place all our fate in it.
