Stella and Angel met when their parents became business partners. They have been inseparable ever since. Now, they go to the same university.
Stella has had an eye on her older brother, Valentino. Since the first time she saw him. Although, she thin...

I let out a soft moan and he immediately stops kissing me. He rubs a hand over his face. "We... we can't." He says. I get off his lap and stand in front of him. "Let's just pretend this never happened."
I feel tears threading to come out of my eyes. I rush out his bedroom and sprint towards the front door. "I have to go!" I say before opening the door and walking out.
I take deep breaths while walking to my car. I can't do this, I have to avoid him at all costs.
It's freezing outside and I just wanna lay in my bed and sleep this off, today was too much for my comfort. I grab my keys from my jacket and unlock my car. I step in and drive out of the garage to my house.
☁️
I unlock the front door. I ignore everything and run to Daimon. I hug him and I start to cry. I'm not sad at all, I'm just frustrated and angry. How could he lead me on like that.
"Hey, what happened?" He says softly. I explain everything to him and I try to keep my tears in. "I don't get why he would kiss me and then push me off!" I say angrily He nods and listens to me. "I can't believe he even said to forget it! How could I ever forget that?!" I break out in tears again.
"Do you want me to talk to him?" He asks. I try to rub my tears away from my eyes. "No, that would be embarrassing..." He nods. "I'm going to sleep." I say.
I walk back to the hallway and hang up my jacket and remove my shoes. I walk to my room avoiding everyone. I don't know if I'm able to go to school tomorrow, I don't wanna see him and I feel like shit.
I change in comfortable pajamas and snuggle into my bed.
☁️
I look at my lockscreen, seeing messages at the bottom of it.
Angel: Where are you? Angel: Did something happen yesterday? Angel: anwser!
l take a deep breath. I don't feel like answering her, what if she's going to tell Valentino? She doesn't even know that I like him. It's not like I don't wanna tell her, she my bestfriend but she's just to close to him.
Valentino: I'm sorry about yesterday, I don't want to make things awkward between us.
For fuck sakes, can he leave me alone?! Might as well get a restraining order now.
I take the covers off me and place a feet out of the bed then the other one. I stand up putting my hands on my hips, I close my eyes and focus on other things, I hear someone running across the hallway, I think it's Valerie. I want to know who it is, I need to get out of my room anyways. I put my hair in a ponytail and walk to the door. I open it and I see Valerie standing in front of the bathroom.
"what's up Valie?" She turns around. "I want to take a bath but everyone is busy." She pouts. "Well I'm not, so let's go." I pick her up and open the bathroom door. "which smell do you want today?" I ask her. "Vanille!" "Alright, let's find it." I put her down and I look in the cabinet for a vanille bath bomd, shower foam and shampoo. "Here it is." I mumble to myself. I grab it and place on the bathtub edge. I turn the tap on, I feel the water to test if it's not to warm.
The water hits the middle and I place the bath bomb on the water. I pick up Valerie and place her in the bath tub.
☁️
My body lays on the couch like a melted marshmallow, eyes hanging low while a movie is playing on the tv. I hear footsteps around me, a too familiar smell finds it way into my nostrils.
Nope, not today. I'm going to pretend that I'm sleeping.
I hear voices in the kitchen. It's kind of muffled, but I try to focus on it. "You can't do that to my little sister and pretend everything's fine." I hear my brother say. "look man, I wasn't planning on doing it. It just happened in the moment, I didn't know so was going to react to it like that.." he sighs. "Obviously, you barely know her." Daimon says in a snarky tone.
He's right. I changed and I'm not the person anymore that Valentino knows. Maybe I overreacted but I need to stand up for myself. After what Lorenzo did to me, I started to be a better version of myself. Less insecure, more independent. I admit that I was so desperate that I got in a relationship with Lorenzo. I know he wasn't the best, but I never saw that coming.
A phone ring interrupts my thoughts. "Shit, it's my dad. I have to go." Valentino says. I hear him rush out of the house.
Daimon sighs and walks over to me. "I know you're not sleeping and for the record I didn't say anything, he started." I open one eye and look at him. "I believe you." I say softly. I close my eyes again.
"I'll let you sleep but you can't skip school tomorrow." Daimon says in a serious tone. "Yeah yeah." I sigh and roll my closed eyes.
He's not worth my grades. I need to focus on other things, I need to move on. This crush on him has been here for way too long.
