Step Brother 2: Jealousy (Completed)

Thirty Five

Linds82 this one is dedicated to you, to thank you for the motivation you managed to give me. ❤️ this is the third chapter in one day I promised you. (even though it's a day late) 😂

...

I didn't expect to see him standing in front of me, with his arms crossed, and a deadly look on his face.

He made me feel extremely uneasy.

"Outside." He demanded, giving me no chance to refuse. He just turned his back on me and walked outside.

Cooper looked at me full of confusion.

I smiled, and mouthed "I'll be right back."

As I got outside, his expression grew more angry.

"I thought you had changed, but you're still the same slut you were back then."

I didn't know what to say. No words would leave my mouth in defense, instead I stood there, and allowed him to speak down to me.

"Are you having fun?" He said coming closer, our faces were now inches apart.

I didn't know this man. This man was angry, and full of hatred.

"That's all you'll ever be good for, is a fuck." He words were laced with venom. In this moment I cowered. He could chew me up, and spit me out, and I still would not utter a sound. But why? Why can't I defend myself, knowing that this time I was innocent? This time I had my legs pressed tightly together? I guess I was scared of the man stood before me. I knew that whoever this man was, he was capable of more than I thought.

"Not denying it no?"

"Ronaldo.. I.. " he covered my mouth with his hand, to prevent me from speaking.

"I will make sure he never remembers you, and if by chance he does, I promise you, I will make sure he never forgives you."

My eyes filled with tears, because I knew he meant it. I could see it in his eyes. He didn't want Rome to be with me, he didn't want to see me happy with his son, because to him I was trash, that wasn't even fit enough for the garbage. I was trash that needed to be burned.

And in a shot, he was gone. While I stood on the doorstep shaking like a leaf.

I couldn't bring myself to move, nor could I bring myself to stand still. I didn't know which way was right, and which way was left.

But, after 30 seconds I came to my senses, and just my luck he was only getting into his car. So I ran as fast as I could and opened the drivers door, as he sat in the drivers seat.

He opened his mouth, but the fire burning inside me cut him off instantly.

"I know I'm not perfect. I know I hurt your son. I wish I could take it back, but I can't. I know you don't care, but I wish you'd understand he hurt me too Ronaldo. I was angry, I was hurting, and I was fucking scared. No, I shouldn't have slept with his best friend, I didn't know he was his best friend though. Yes, I married him after I found out, I'm not proud of that, but I wasn't thinking straight. You're his father, I get you want what's best for him, but don't fucking sit there on your high horse. You know if Rome seen you now, if he remembered you, he would be disgusted at you. He would put you in your place." And almost like he mimicked my earlier actions he cowered. All he could do was not.

"I really wish you didn't hate me, Ronaldo. I really wish you could see I'm not a bad person, and I truly love your son."

"Do you Kate?" He simply asked, seeming more calm then he was before.

"Yes whole heartedly."

"Then come with me." He says calmly, but I hesitate. I just look at him like a deer in headlights. "I promise, you'll want to come with me."

And for some reason, I climb into the passenger seat. He starts the car, and we drive off.

"Listen, none of this is going to be easy, but if you truly love him, you'll have to be patient, but you'll also have to be willing to fight."

I look at him confused, and he gives me a quick glimpse when he says "I'm sorry. I don't hate you. I'm scared too."

"Scared?"

"I'm scared that he won't handle losing you twice." As he finishes speaking, I rest my hand on his and say "I want him, I love him, my life is nothing without him. I love my children, but without him my family feels incomplete."

"I don't doubt it's hard on you, I guess we understand each other more than I thought. You miss him, so do I. You want him here, so do I."

He sighs, and pauses for a moment.

"I have a confession.. it would be easier not telling you, but it's eating me up inside."

I brace myself for whatever is about to leave his mouth next.

"When Rome woke up and couldn't remember you, he asked me after about who you and Loreto were, I lied. I told him you were just Bree's daughter, and you barely knew each other."

"YOU WHAT!?!" I roared at him.

"I know, Kate. I'm sorry, but I'm trying to make it right." He says with shame all over his face.

"How?" I say trying to calm myself down.

"You'll see." He says.

We drive for awhile, until the roads, and the surroundings look familiar. He's bringing me home. To him, and Mom's place.

"Why are we here?"

He doesn't answer. Instead he parks the car in the driveway. Then he gets out of the car, before he looks back at me, with a look that says come on...

With shaky hands, and shaky legs, I open the door, and get out of the car.

I slowly follow behind him.

He takes out his key, and turns it in the door.

As we get inside the hallway, he turns to look at me.

"What's going on Ronaldo?"

I ask nervously.

"In there."

He whispers, pointing at the living room door.

I walk over, and my hand reaches out to the handle.

I take one look back at Ronaldo before I open the door.

When I do, I just burst into tears.
