Continuously Over Board | OTMOND

Prologue

KIM OTTER's POV

"Could you stop smoking, Lucas?" I considered while waving the polluted air away from my pained face. "Otherwise, you're not going to live long enough to marry my mother"

My soon-to-be stepfather smugly grinned and turned off the water hose that he was formerly using. He leaned close to me, as I felt his prickly facial hair on my ear, he croakily whispered; "Wanna try?"

I intentionally shoved the overweighted man away and rolled my eyes before walking back inside the house my stepfather owned. 'It's been a long afternoon, I deserved to play my games in peace' I thought while turning in my advanced television and transferring League of Legends onto it. But before I could get myself comfortable, my bedroom window snapped open. I instantly turned towards the window as my mind panicked in reflex. 'Was someone breaking in?'

"Hello" A familiar face popped up, making me sigh in pure relief. "I figured your mum isn't home yet, so I decided to bring you some takeaway food"

I softly chuckled while helping the troubled boy get inside. "Why didn't you use the front door?"

"I tried to but your mother's boyfriend wouldn't let me in" Raymond admitted and decided to use my newly-white carpet as a dining table as he set out the several dishes he brought.

"And how would you know that I'll let you in?" I playfully teased, ruffling the latter's bed hair. "I'm joking but besides that you didn't have to buy so much food, ya know?" I reasoned, while ripping out my chopsticks from its paper wrapping.

"Well, I either had to feed you or, my younger brother" Raymond stuffed some noodles in his mouth and explained. "And we all know that Alex eats like a hippopotamus"

I loudly laughed. "Yeah, but you should feed Alex, he's probably starving"

"Nah, my mum's cooking today so he'll probably get twice the weight he'll get from that, then this" The shorter retorted and wiped his mouth.

"True" I sincerely smiled.
