Loving my step-brother: Brallie AU

Chapter 13

Brandon's POV

  It's been a month since Callie's party. Luckily, her dad is in jail, but I fear that he might get out or something. I should stop thinking like this. I'm being paranoid. Me and Callie are still trying to figure out what to do about us. The only thing is, now that we've expressed our feelings to each other, it's made it even harder not to grab her and kiss her to death. I promised her I wouldn't make a move on her and she wouldn't do the same. I walked into the kitchen to find my mom talking to someone one the phone. " He just came in here now. Yes, I'll tell him." She finished her phone call.
  " Who was that?" I asked as I sat down at the kitchen table.
  She set her phone down, and looked at it. Then me. " How would you feel about Callie and Lena moving in here?"
  " What?" I asked. They can't move in here! That'll make mine and Callie's feelings even more wrong. Not only would we be living under the same roof, but that also means they're taking the next step in their relationship.
  She looked at me closely. I know that look. She's trying to figure out what I'm thinking. " You okay, B? You seem...off."
  " Yes I'm fine. Just great, but I got to go." I stuttered. I stood up and grabbed my car keys. Does Callie know yet? 
  I sat outside her house and called her. I knew if I knocked on the door, there would be a fifty, fifty chance of Lena answering it.
  " What's up?" Callie asked while getting into the car.
  I sighed. " Did Lena tell you, you and her might be comming to live with me and my mom?"
  " Yeah, she told me this morning." She stated nonchalantly. That threw me off a bit.
  I repositioned myself, so I could fully face her. " You're completely fine with this?"
  She shrugged. " I mean, I'm not thrilled that I have to move again, but I don't mind if it's what Lena wants."
  I wasn't sure how to feel about this. I was hurt that she didn't think how this'll affect me, but at the same time, happy she's changed since the first day I met her. " Oh- okay." I paused. Should I ask her about us? I decided to keep that to myself, and put on a fake smile.
  " I should head back inside." Callie said, acknowledging the silence between us.
  I nodded, but she didn't move. She kept her hands on the door handle for a few minutes. I chuckled awkwardly, " I thought you were going to-" I was cut off by her lips. I have no idea what this means as of her moving in with us, but all I know is that I don't want her to stop.
  I was afraid she might pull away again, so I placed my hand lightly on the back of her head. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I wasn't sure where this was going, so I waited until she deepened the kiss for me to do the same. This was just like our first kiss, even though I've already done this before, I still felt sparks between us. I wanted to continue longer, but I needed air.
  I pulled away. " What was that?"
  She shrugged and said. " I just needed to see how you'd react if I broke the promise. Fuck you."
  Wait what?! I shook my head in anger and confusion. " You kissed me."
  Callie opened the door. " And you kissed back. Screw you, for not giving a shit about me."
  She stormed off after slamming the car door shut. Why the hell do I love this girl? She's rude, always turns everything you say around so it backfires on you. Yeah, but she's also not like any other girl you've met. That annoying other voice in my head is here.

Callie's POV

  I'm in my room doing my homework, waiting for Mariana to come over. Yesterday, I couldn't hold myself back from kissing Brandon, but I played it off like I was a cruel bitch. I saw the look on his face when I told him it was a test. A weird feeling bubbled up inside me, it was a mixture of relief and heartbreak for myself. I heard a knock at my door. "Come in."
  I looked up from my math homework, to see Mariana. " Hey, Callie."
  I moved over, so she had a place to lay down next to me. " You okay?"
  She shrugged, I can tell she's hiding something. " Mari, don't try hiding it from me. What's up?"
  She seemed nervous to say it, I don't know why though. " Promise you won't get mad if I tell you?"
  I gave her a slight laugh. " Promise."
  " I think I have feeling for Brandon." I wasn't sure if I heard that last part correctly.
  I cleared my throat. " Did-did you just say Brandon?"
  She nodded, reluctantly. I felt all the color wash from my face. " Why?'
  I saw her trying to hide the fact that she was blushing, that only made me feel defensive. " He's sweet, and kind. Plus, he's a musician which is really hot. I think he likes me back."
  That last comment made me want to shout the fact that he likes me. He kissed me, not her. I balled my hands into a fist, not letting it become noticeable. " Why do you think he likes you?"
  " Well, he's always around me, one. Two, he flirts with me-"
  " You sure that wasn't him trying to be nice?" I cut off her adding on to my rage. But to her, she was oblivious of my thoughts.
  She shook her head. " I know when a guy is flirting."
  I never felt more like shouting every little detail about mine and Brandon's complicated relationship, than I did right now. Then, I came up with a perfect lie. " He's already into another girl." I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm going with it.
  She didn't seem to bleieve me. " Oh, really? Who?"
  " Can we just change the subject already. I have important things in my life that I'm trying to get through." Guilt seemed to wash over her face.
  Looking down at her hands, she mumbled a, "Sorry."

I SUCK a writing longer chapters so I'm sooooo sorry. Anyway, haha Mariana has a crush on Brandon...let's see where that goes. Do you guys think Callie was messed up for what she did to Brandon? Please let me know.
