My Future Stepbrother

Chapter 120

I’d been trying hopelessly to keep busy since the incident in the bathroom. I’d managed to complete all my homework earlier so instead I’d cleaned my room, blow dried my hair and even sorted my closet. I was getting so desperate I was now scrolling through a three page buzzfeed article about the mating habits of otters, definitely not what you’d think they’d be when you looked at those cute little devil’s I can tell you.

There was a gentle knock at my bedroom door followed by a text. I grabbed my phone as I walked over to open it. Sitting on the floor of the hall was a tray with a bowl of popcorn, some Oreos, two freshly toasted pop tarts and two cans of soda. I looked at it confused then scoured the hall for who the culprit was but there was no-one there. My phone buzzed in my hand again and I looked down at the messages, they were from Jayce.

“I left you something.”

“Put on whatever movie you want then tell me what it is”

I picked up the tray and placed it on my bed, my mind wondering as to where this was going exactly. I looked through the movies and settled on Avengers Endgame. I’d been watching enough chick flicks torturing Chad, although the end of this made me cry as well. I guess I’m just a bit of a film crier - no judgements people.

“Okay, I’ve got on Endgame – what’s going on?”

The opening credits started to roll and I bit into the hot pop tarts. My phone buzzed again.

“Movie night. I know you’re not ready for me to be in there with you so this was the best I could do ❤ Want to video chat?”

I sat smiling at the phone, listening carefully I could just make out the same opening credit music coming from Jayce’s room. He’d created a way for us to be together without being together.

I checked my hair in the forward facing camera and picked a good angle. Wait. What am I doing? The guy has seen me hanging upside down, dripping sweat, with his tongue buried in my pussy but I’m worried about looking like I have a double chin right now?

I decided I couldn’t spend an entire movie with my arm raised like that anyway so I grabbed the pillows from the other side of the bed and created a make shift shelf to hold it before pressing the call button.

Jayce’s smiling face fills my screen and I can’t stop myself just staring at him, did he really have to be so bloody beautiful?

“This is cute.” I state honestly. I figured out quickly that it was much easier to have a conversation with him when I wasn’t fighting the urge to touch him all the time.

“I told you princess, we’re going to do this at your pace. If this is the most I can have right now then I’m good with it, even just seeing your gorgeous face on a screen is enough to make me happy these days. I spent so long staring at the photos I have of you when I was away, I swear I started to see them move.” He chuckles.

I settle back, trying not to show the smile he’s just put across my face. I didn’t have many photos of me and Jayce, it wasn’t something I always thought of doing when I was with him but the ones I did have, I’d spent hours looking at while he was away too. Sometimes they broke my heart all over again but other times they brought me the peace I so desperately needed, reminding me what we had was real.

We sat and watched the film, sometimes making comments and me laughing at the moment Thor comes back with a bit of chunk, reminding Jayce how easily it could happen to him if he kept eating pop tarts the way he was. I’m pretty sure he had a box all to himself from what I could see.

“You know that Thanos guy isn’t totally wrong, we are overpopulated and need to better use our resources.”

I scoff. “The guy is a homicidal maniac and you agree with him? Maybe this thing with us really won’t work out. You know he’s the villain of the story right?”

He laughs. “I’m not saying I agree with him! I’m just saying there’s a logic there, a method to his madness. Isn’t there a saying about the difference between a villain and a hero? ‘A hero would sacrifice the woman he loves to save the world, a villain would let the world burn to save the woman he loves.’ By that reasoning, the fact he’s willing to sacrifice his daughter to get what I needs to save the universe, doesn’t that make him the hero?”

I wasn’t sure he quite understood the situation here. “He has the stones! He could just double the world’s resources instead of half the population! Oh I’m going to come in there and-”

“and what?” His eyebrow raised at me as he smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him. “Just shut up and watch the movie Hemsworth.”

We giggled all night until the end credits rolled, my eyes barely managing to stay awake anymore as I settled into my pillow.

“You should get some sleep beautiful.” I nod, not opening my eyes as the darkness calls to me. “Goodnight Aleah.”

I hold onto my pillow tight as my heart pulls.

“Lee. You can call me Lee.”

And I’m taken over.
