This Boy Im With

Chapter21: Boat trip part 3

   The next morning, I woke up and patted the empty space next to me. Blake wasn't there. I got up and made my way downstairs making sure not to make noise just in case people are still sleeping. I am about to enter the kitchen when I hear voices.

   "Blake we need to talk, son." I hear karen's voice.

  "About?" Blake says. I lean against the door to hear better.

  "Do you really love, Riley?" I hear his dad, Eric, say. Where are they getting at?

  His answer makes my heart warm up.  "Yes...I do. Why?"

  "Honey.....we don't want this girl ending up like, Caroline, now do we?"

  Who is Caroline?And why don't they want me ending up like her?

  "You said that you would never bring her up after what happened."

  "Dude, this happened while you were dating Ariana. And you lied about everything to her and Caroline...... her sister."  I hear Christian's voice.

  "May I ask where you're going with this?"

  "Son... did you lie to Riley?" his dad cuts in. I am so confused and I don't want to listen anymore. I am about to turn around and head upstairs when the door flies open. Christian. He looks worried and....frightened? He looks back into the kitchen and them back at me. I hear Blake sight and get up from where he was sitting. He grabs my hand in his and takes me upstairs. When we get into the room, he locks the door and runs his hand through his hair like he is frustrated.

  "What did you hear?" he finally has the guts to look me in the eye.

  "Well good morning to you too." I sit on the bed.

"This is serious......what did you hear?" he stands in front of me.

  "Why do you care so much if I heard about Caroline or not?" He kneels in front of me and looks at me with worry in his eyes.

  "What did you hear about her" he gets inpatient.

  "Just that she is apparently, Ariana's sister?" I say sounding more like a question. He stands up.

  "Is that all?"

  "Yes, gee. What's the big deal?" i get up from the bed.

  "Nothing....I -I'm going to take a shower you can use the one here, ill use the one next door." he grabs a towel from the closet and heads out. I walk to my bag and take out light blue knee length dress and my purple bikini. I walk into the bathroom with my towel and strip my clothes off.

  When I come out of the shower I enter the room to find Christian laying on the bed staring off into space, that is until I scream.

  "AAAAHHH! Christian, what are you doing in here!?" He sits up and smirks.

  "You look even hotter with a towel. But you'll look better without it on." I feel my face turn red so I look down to the floor.

  "Perv." I go over to the bed and grab my clothes regretting to leave it out here.

  "What do you want anyway?" he stands up and walks to the door.

  "What did you hear downstairs?" What is so important that they dont want me knowing? its like they killed someone and they don't want me knowing cause I'll turn them in.

  "Ask your brother." I say walking to the bathroom.

  "Aaa....so first time he doesn't tell people we're step brothers. Surprise surprise." he walks out.
