Step Brother Blues, Short Story

Part Seven, Making New Friends

Chapter Forteen

Jason
What happened between Kate and I can never happen again. My father might disown me. My entire future may depend on this. I love Kate and I'd never want to hurt her but I have to put some distance between us. Put an end to this before it begins. There are so many beautiful women coming into the gym every day. Many of them are looking for a man.
I need to get to know a few and put Kate behind me. I hope she doesn't go back to hating me again. I hate breaking her heart.

Kate:
I don't want to screw things up between Jason and his father. I love Jason. I will meet George for tennis tonight and get to know him better. Try to put Jason behind me.

George and Rico were waiting for Mary and I when we got to the court. We played boys against the girls and lost but had a good time. When I got home the house was empty. I missed Jason already. No matter how good looking or fun George was, my heart belonged to Jason.
I decided to just take a shower and go to bed. After I got ready for bed I decided to go to the kitchen and get a cold beer to help me sleep. Every time I closed my eyes I would see Jason's face smiling down on me. I made my way to my room, but when I passed the basement door I thought I heard something. I quietly opened the door to listen. I could hear a lady moaning and screaming out Jason's name. Oh my God, he's having sex with someone down there. I felt my heart breaking into a million pieces. I thought what we had was special. I guess I was just another notch on his belt buckle. I knew I should never trust a man. I gently closed the door and got three more beers out of the fridge and carried them back to my room. I watched the movie, 'She Devil's to remind myself that all men are pigs, as I drank my beer until I passed out.

The next morning Mr. Dickhead is making coffee and frying bacon as he sings a jolly tune. I am so pissed off and hurt.
"Good morning, Kate, are you hungry?"

"No, not particularly, although I am meeting someone today for a nature hike. Maybe show him our waterfall. So I suppose I should eat something before I go."

Jason:
Jealousy and rage are coursing through my veins. How dare she take someone to our spot. And since when is she seeing someone? She's probably playing one of her silly, little girl games. "So, Kate, who's the lucky guy?"

"Oh it's just some college guy from the gym. Mary set me up with him. He's very good looking and very nice."

How old is this guy and what's his name?"

"His name is George Mason and he's twenty two years old."

"Twenty two is too old for you, you need to call it off."

"You're twenty one and you had no problem fucking me. So why is it ok for you?"

"Kate, you are under my care and I forbid you to see this man. Do you hear me young lady!"

"Oh I hear you loud and clear but ya know what bub? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. So BACK OFF, PIG!"

"What did you just call me?"

"Pig, Jason, I called you Pig. Pig, Pig, Pig!"

"That does it! I'm reinstalling all of the locks. I will not put up with you disrespecting me."

"Ha, that's rich, you disrespected me by bringing one of your whore's home and fucking her right under my nose. Just one day after you fucked me. You disgust me Jason, you're a womanizing pig!" You used me. I never meant anything to you! I hate you, Jason! Don't ever come near me again!"

"It's not like that, Kate! You don't understand?"

"I understand perfectly, Jason. I never trusted men and now you have reminded me why." Maybe I'll just use men for sex, the way you use women."
