Stepbrother | bws✔️

32. "It's not working between us."

A few days have past since me and Brad made it official and we've kept it from our parents which has been pretty easy as we've just acted the same around each other as we always do.

Apart from when our parents are out for the night then one of us will join the other in their bed.

However a part of me feels wrong. I've always told my mum everything and had this been someone else, not Brad, I would be telling her straight away.

It's after dinner and I'm just sitting in my room wondering what to do. I hear Brad strumming away on his guitar in his room so I go in.

He's sitting on his chair at his desk and I walk behind him and cover his eyes with my hands "guess who?" I say as I plant a kiss on his cheek.

"Hmmm my amazing, beautiful, funny, talented girlfriend?" He says as he removes my hand and leans up to give me a kiss on the lips.

I just smile and start to blush slightly. I'm still getting used to him him calling me his girlfriend.

"Did you want something?" Brad says as I sit cross legged on his bed and he comes to join me.

"Umm yeah I wanted to talk to you about maybe telling our parents?" I say shyly as I look down at my hands in my lap.

"About us?" He says

"Yeah." I reply back quietly and look up to meet his eyes.

"If that's what you want then we will do it." Brad says with an encouraging smile.

"I just don't want my mum to get mad at me or be annoyed becau-" I say but get cut off by Brad interrupting me.

"Hey hey hey don't worry, why would you think she'd get mad at you?" Brad says trying to reassure me.

"Because this is the first relationship she's had in years that I've accepted and I'm worried she's going to think I'm selfish because I'm putting myself before her." I say as my eyes start to well up with tears.

Brad pulls me into a hug and we both lie on the bed as I snuggle up to his chest.

"If it was another boy, not your possible stepbrother, then would your mum be fine with it?" Brad asks me whilst stroking my hair.

"Yes of course and she'd want to know everything about him." I say with a slight laugh.

"Well I'm no different." Brad says and I look up at him. "I'm not related to you. We started off as friends, well you started off as a fan but you know," I smack his chest lightly and he starts to chuckle, "and it's not like our parents have the best relationship with each other anyway."

Everything Brad's saying is true. There is no reason why we shouldn't be together.

"Just let me know when you're ready to tell them." He says with a smile and kisses my head.

"I'm ready now. I don't want to wait any longer." I say and hug him tighter.

"Okay lets go downstairs then." Brad says and we both part and make our way downstairs.

We walk into the living room to find our parents sitting on the sofa watching Peaky Blinders on the TV.

"Hey kids what are you up to?" Derek asks us whilst taking his gaze off the TV for a second before looking back at it.

"We were just wondering if we could talk to you both?" Brad asks and keeps close to me.

"Sure take a seat." My mum says as she pauses the episode and draws her attention to me and Brad who make our way onto the other sofa opposite our parents.
