Falling For My New Step Brother

Tension at the Mall

I advise listening to Macklemore's song "Thrift Shop" and Paramore's "Still Into You" ツ enjoy!

We head into the mall to get abandoned by Jacob, he said he wanted to check out this game store but I knew better of it… he wanted to be away from Trent. I tried to ignore their tension in the car but now I couldn't hold it in. Before I can ask Trent what the tension is about I get interruped by a squeal from Trent. To be honest I never heard a guy squeal before so my first instinct was to think that he was hurt.

"Trent are you okay?" I asked panickly.

"No I'm not okay, H&M is closed"

"Ohhh… wait what?"

"H&M is closed and I had the perfect outfit to pick out for you" He whines.

"Well it's okay we can shop somewhere else" I said hoping to cheer him up.

"If you're thinking of Good Will like the rest of your screwed up clothes then no"

Um, ouch.

"First off I was thinking Hollister or Abercrombie, second off Good Will has really good clothes just because they're used doesn't mean they're bad and third off I hate shopping I really really do, and who asked you to judge what I wear? I mean seriously I wear what I want when I want" I fumed.

"That makes sense…"

"That's it I'm out of here" I turned on heel and walked straight feeling very very lost.

I wasn't surprised that Trent didn't chase after me, but I was surprised to walk into Jacob.

When I mean walk in I mean straight on crash face to face bump, bodies collide, collapse to the floor.

"Shit, Nicole" Jacob said rubbing his head. He held out a hand and I gracefully took it.

As soon as I got up Jacob removed his hand from mine. I tried to ignore it, but the feeling made me feel sick and sad.

I covered my frown with a fake plastered smile. "So did you uh find that game you were uh looking for?" I wiped a sweaty hand to my jeans.

"Yeah" he said holding up a bag that has the name "Gamestop" on it in green and black font.

I nodded in acknowledgement then stared at the turquosie and white tiled floor.

"So uh did you get an outfit?" He asked breaking the tension.

"Yeah-uh I mean no"

"Huh? Why not?" he asked curiously.

I gave out a nerveous chuckle not wanting him to hear the pathetic story.

"H&M was closed and Trent was upset so I suggested another store and he made a comment that I wasn't uh liking so I uh left"

He sighed. "What did he say?"

"It's just nothing, it means nothing no worries"

"no tell me what did he say?"

"promise you won't go after Trent for this?"

"you're getting me worried Nicole"

"uh sorry, um he just said I wear lame clothes and only shop at Goodwill" I said biting back on my lip causing a crease.

Jacob coughed out a laugh.

"What?"

"you're getting worked up over a clothes comment"

"well it wasn't nice…"

"Nicole life isn't nice, anyways why do you care? Don't you hate shopping?"

"Well yeah but…"

"but what?"

"but… Y'know just forget it okay!"

"no I wanna know Nicole" He said trying to hide an escaping smile.

"Your an ass you know"

"what? Sorr-y that I care about what you think"

"no you don't" I laugh coldly.

"Nicole I care about you so much, and I'm trying so hard from kissing you right now"

My heart sped. "What?"

"You heard me" he said taking a step closer making my heart pound.

I didn't move giving him the "okay" to step forward again.

Instead he backed away causing my heart to slow down.

I looked at him with questioning eyes.

"I can't play this anymore Nicole, I'm not going to let you control me and make me go mad crazy… if you don't have feelings for me then tell me" Jacob said staring right into my eyes and I stared back.

"Jacob I do"

He scrunched his eyebrows confused.

"I do have feelings for you"

**

On the ride home Trent apologized about his rude remark and that I do look decent in borrowed clothes.

I ignored that remark as soon as it hit me. Mostly because of the incident at the mall with me and Jacob, and second of all because I don't want to cause anymore drama. I stare out the window feeling gloomy. I promised myself I wouldn't interfere with Jacobs life, and yet I broken it in less than twenty four hours. I don't feel bad though because I have fallen for Jacob and I think he has fallen for me to. I can't beat my way around the bush anymore, I have to face the truth… I'm in love with Jacob Prescott.

Hey guys!!!!

we are almost to 17K reads so I'm really excited!

I really never imagined this book getting so many reads it touches my heart to know that people actually enjoy this book even though to me it looks like crap that needs a lot of editing. I also want to say thank you for the encouragement when I hear you guys write that it's good or going good it really touches my heart, as cheesy as it sounds it's the truth.

Also I would like to say no hate to Goodwill! I actually believe that it's a good place to find cheap good clothes, I mean seriously who would pay 50 dollars for a T-Shirt… oh gawd I'm sounding like Macklemore aren't I?

P.S how do you guys fancy my cover??! I made it myself and I feel proud of it ツ

okay please Vote, comment, and share if you haven't already!! :*
