The Stepbrother - Noah Centineo (COMPLETED)

You're fucking your stepbrother?

Arielle's PoV

"So... what's your deal?" He asked as he reached for a strawberry, stuffing it into his mouth.
"My deal?" I asked, tossing the stem of my strawberry into the bin beside us. Nice right? Eating strawberries on a bench, over looking the sea with a bin right next to us.
"How come a pretty girl like you is wandering the paths of Bora Bora with a tear stained face?" He quizzed.
"Oh, I'm William by the way but call me Will." He added with a little chuckle. I had completely forgotten to introduce myself to him.
"Arielle." I nodded my head.
"So?" He raised an eyebrow.
"What?" I furrowed my eyebrows, reaching for another strawberry.
"The deal?" He reminded me. Oh yeah.
"Just boyfriend trouble." I shrugged my shoulders. Now I'm sitting here with this William, I don't feel like I want to tell him everything. Maybe I do. Ugh, I don't know anymore.
"Ahh, you're that type of girl." He smirked to which I frowned.
"Excuse me?" What's that supposed to mean.
"Oh my god, no I didn't mean it like that." He laughed softly.
"I meant like you're the type of girl who after they've had a fight with their other half, they'd rather go for a walk and clear their head than stay in their bed and cry for days on end." He explained. Kinda makes a little more sense now.
"No. I'm not from here. We're just visiting but Noah- my boyfriend, he's back at the villa. He wanted some space." I sighed. I wonder what he's doing right now. Just as I left I heard a loud crash come from the room so god knows what state it's going to be in when I get back.

Will took a bite out of another strawberry, throwing the stem on the ground. Naughty.

"You do something bad then? You said he wanted the space like you had done or said something he didn't like." Is this like 21 questions or something. Jesus.
"I want to tell you but I think you'll think it's wrong." I mumbled, hoping he didn't quite catch on to what I said. See, this is what I mean. I want to be able to tell people about Noah, not hide him from everyone.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Noah and I. Our situation." I replied.
"Oh come on. It can't be that bad. It's not like your brother and sister or anything." He laughed to which I stayed quiet and his eyes went wide. I was quick to shake my head.
"No we're not- brother and sister I mean. I- we're..." oh god, how do I tell him this now?
"We're related by marriage." That's gotta be an easy way to explain it, right?
"Okay..." he trailed.
"So you're like half cousins or something? Got it." He nodded his head.
"No exactly." I sighed, pushing the strawberries closer to him. I had suddenly lost my appetite.
"What then?" He questioned.
"Our parents are together." There I finally said it. Happy?

William was quiet for a little while, his eyes scanning my face. Man I feel uncomfortable.
"So let me get this right..." he started.
"You're fucking your step brother?" He asked.
"Pretty much, yeah." I rolled my eyes at the way he stated it.
"Wow." He laughed.
"Ugh, you know what-" I began to stand up, growing infuriated at the boy. I don't want to talk to him if all he's going to do is judge and laugh at me.
"Hey. I'm joking. Sit down." He grabbed my arm to stop me from going anywhere.
I studied his facial features for a minute. He seems like he means well so I gave in and sat back down.

"Sorry, I'm just not very good at relationship problems talk, especially with a stepbrother." He said to which I rolled my eyes.
"So did you know each other before your parents started to date or did you guys..." he trailed, hoping I'd catch on.
"We met like 6 months after my dad and Noah's mum had been seeing each other." I began to explain. May aswell tell him everything from start to finish. I guess I'm just hoping he'll have some helpful advice at the end of this.
"6 months? Bloody hell, how slow were they taking it?" Will snickered.
"My thoughts exactly, I was so pissed when he told me." I said.
"Wait, you didn't know he was seeing her until 6 months later?" He seemed shocked.
"Not at all." I shook my head. I still can't wrap my head around it all. Bit weird.
"Ok... and you met Noah?" He pushed me to continue my story.
"I met Noah the same day I met Kelly. He really wasn't my cup of tea. Like we spent months hating each other." I giggled slightly at the memory. Why did we hate each other so much?
"Then one day he took me to this private lake in the pitch black. I was so sure he was going to murder me..." the look on Williams face was priceless. I'm guessing he was thinking the same thing.
"I'd probably have thrown myself out the car or something." He tucked in to another strawberry.
"Thought about it." I nodded my head with a little laugh. It's nice laughing about this with some random stranger. I know nothing about him yet he seems to know one of my biggest secrets.

"Anyways, we got in the water and things just kind of started from there. He asked if he could kiss me. Pretty adorable, right?" I smiled. All the memories from earlier seem to have disappeared and I'm only left with my heart feeling full with the happy times I've spent with Noah.
"I guess." He shrugged his shoulders. I completely forgot he's not Jay or another girl and really doesn't care about our first kiss.
"So you hated each other and now you seem to be madly in love?" Will asked.
"Exactly." I sighed. I really am madly in love with Noah.
"Well that's not at all confusing." He smirked.
"Tell me about it."
