Today was the day I would be meeting my new stepbrother and stepsister. I've been dreading this day since I found out my mom got a new boyfriend.
She started dating again after she was depressed for 5 months, after my dad died. She's been leading guys on and dumps them and their families in the streets after.
My family is one of the richest families in the state of Georgia. My parents own Collins Airlines aka C.A but after my dad died my mom, my sister, Jennifer and I have been running it. It's going well but it would be a lot better with my dad still here.
Anyways.
The Barnet family is moving in today. I've only met Leo, my mothers fiancé, but not his 2 kids, Ryder and Lia. According to my mom, Ryder is 2 years older than me, about to turn 23 and Lia is 2 years younger.
"Jay! Come downstairs!" Jennifer yelled.
"Coming!" I scrambled to put on decent clothes. I found a black button up with black ripped jeans. I teased my hair and ran downstairs. I stopped at the top of the stairs when I heard talking.
"It's great to see you both again." I heard my mother say probably greeting Ryder and Lia at the same time.
"It's good to see you too Olivia" I saw my mom and Lia give each other hug.
I walked down a few more stairs and came in eye contact with the hottest person in the world.
He had pitch black hair, black sweatshirt on and blue ripped jeans. I saw black combat boots on the doormat at the door, that are probably his. I stared into his amazing ocean blue eyes and made my way closer to the bottom of the steps.
"Hi, I'm Ryder" his deep voice sent chills down my spine. I snapped back into reality and shook his hand.
