Chase, My Step Brother

Chapter Two - She's a Pusher -

I managed to find what I'm guessing is my room with all the pink but my two suitcases gave it away. I unpacked taking my time as I wanted to avoid those boys, I just couldn't stop thinking about the brief encounters with them and the effect each had on me especially one but that was sill I mean he was my step brother. Not technically by blood but still through marriage and that's just wrong. What am I doing, they are Sterling boys I'm a Willows girl were arch enemy's. Plus Carter is who I have my eyes on, since like first grade! Yet although all these years studying in the same class and practically growing up together he still is yet to notice me. A girl can only dream.

"Liv" my dads head popped into my room, guess his skype meeting is over.

"Dinner is ready, oh I see you have unpacked how do you like the room?" he asked walking in with his hands in his pockets.

"Its nice, a bit of an over kill on the pink though" I admitted as from the walls to the drawers to the sheets was just pink galore, I don't even really like the colour.

"I know we just didn't know what you would like, but feel free to change it as long as you stay this is your room to do as you please" he laughed noticing how everything was pink.

"I left this room to Elizabeth, she insisted she do it that's why she wentn over board. She has never had a daughter and I guess the thought of a girl coming into the house well she went a little crazy"he sat on the hot pink duvet bed spread as he watched me put the last of my clothes away.

"So how are you liking it so far, its not too much is it?"

"Everything is fine, the house is beautiful and you have all been very welcoming"

"That's good because I want you to know if there is anything wrong or anything bothering you please do come and talk to me. 5 years is a long time and I do admit a lot of it was my fault and I want us to get back to the way things were" he sounded sad like something was bothering him. I threw him a smile as I walked over to him and gave him a hug.

"I would like that" I soothed into him as I felt that father daughter connection that I missed so much.

"Glad I got that off my chest now lets go eat, Elizabeth is proabably wondering whats taking us so long" we made our way to the dining room as warm tantalizing smells filtered the air making my stomach rumble as we got to the room to see the table set up with plates and cutlery, along with the food all in the middle and this was a lot of food she must have slaved over the stove after I left for up stairs.

"Planning on feeding an army?" I raised an eye brow as it was only us three so it didn't make sense.

"Well in a way yes the boys do know how to eat" she laughed as I stopped in my tracks.

"Boys?" I asked looking around for them.

"Chase and his friends also we have Lloyd my other son who should be here any minute I just told him to go wash up" she beamed as she turned on her heel back to the kitchen. Of course my Father took the head of the table and I didn't know if there was any seating arrangements as I scattered my eyes along the table and went to pull a chair out.

"Oh kiddo that's Lloyds seat but feel free to take any other seat" well least I know at least one seating arrangement and I hadn't met him yet and didn't know how he would take to me so I sat next to my Father near the top assuming Elizabeth would take the other side of him.

"Im hungry" a groany little voice peeped up as I noticed a small blonde child walking in with a toy dinosaur hanging from his hand and a cowboy hat in the other.

"Lloyd did you wash up properly" my Father asked as the child walked up to him with my Father picking him up and putting him on his knee. I smiled at the child who had a confused look on his face.
