Bad Influence

15.

I sent Karsen out to the garden while I did some digging.

"Why am I here?"

My father look at Sebastian and then back to me as if he was confused. "Excuse me? What do you mean?"

"Cut the bullshit. I don't appreciate you getting your little fucking pet over here trespassing into my house harassing me and shit with my girlfriend right there and then all of a sudden you want to meet her? So I'll ask again, why am I here?" I shot a deadly glare at my father.

He took a sip of his water, and my big ass brother decided he needed to speak, "Father you're not going to let him just disrespect you are you?"

"You broke into his house?"

"I may have entered it with-"

"Why would you do that especially when a lady is present and you decided to lay hands on your brother? It seems like you've been the disrespectful one." My father looked at Sebastian disappointedly. I smirked. "Allow me to talk to your younger brother alone please." Sebastian got up and stormed off into the house.

"I apologize for your brother. I've only invited you here to see what you seemed to feel was so special to you. My brother and I do communicate you know. "

"What's he told you? "

"Nothing about the pregnancy if that's what you were worried about."

I almost froze but I kept on cooly, "What are you talking about father?"

"It's obvious. She can't keep her hand from her stomach for more than a minute and every once in awhile you touch it too. I'm not blind," both of us gazed out to see Karsen holding her tummy as she looked at a batch of red roses. "So is that why she's so dear to you, because she's carrying your child?"

"No. We just found out about the pregnancy. I've been in love with Karsen from a distance for a very long time now. If you think I feel trapped you're wrong, because I'm not the trapped one. I don't plan on ever letting her go." I looked back to him seriously. He looked at me with a sense of awe.

"You really mean that don't you boy?"

"With every fiber of my being."

"I don't want you to distance your family from me."

I didn't know what to say to that so I just stared at him in confusion.

"You distanced yourself from me and that has been one of the hardest things I've had to deal with but I don't think I could bare you keeping your family away from me as well. I'm family too Ash." I stood up grabbing Karsen's purse. "Ash where are you going?"

I didn't answer and walked out to the garden to get my girlfriend. As I walked up to her she looked at me confused. "Everything alright babe?" I grabbed her hand and led her back to the house. My father still stood in the same spot.

"Ash , son please don't leave like this." I walked past him into the house. Sebastian stood in the kitchen.

"Aw poor Ashy going cry about something?" I snapped. My forearm held Sebastian by his neck against the wall.

"Ash put him down," Karsen said nervously. Sebastian's blood shot eyes were bulging from his head. "Ash." I let him go and kneed him in his stomach. Karsen dragged me out of the house and to the car. She drove.

Karsen continuously snuck glances at me. "As-"

"No."

She rose a hand up, surrendering, "Fine."

~ Karsen's P.O.V. ~

Ash stayed silent and once we got in the house he went straight to a bottle of liquor and trapped himself in our room. I decided to preoccupy myself and give him some space so I tidied up the house.
