2020-05-21 08:09:20There were times in my life that I never got along with my mother and after my father passed away we became oil and vinegar. My father hasn't been in the ground for more than a year and she's already moving on to who she says is mister perfect. And now we have to move in with mister perfect and his perfect son whom I already know I'm going to hate.
"Cassidy, I told you that I needed help packing the kitchen."
"Do it yourself."
"Watch your mouth young lady, I really don't know what I'm going to do with you."
"You could just leave me here, and I'll be just fine."
"Oh so tell me since when being 17 means you can live on your own?"
"Emancipate me."
I watch my mother's brows furry as anger seeps in but I don't budge. I don't want to move to some uppity ass town full of know it alls and jerks who measure their dicks by the size of their trust fund.
"If you're not in the kitchen in the next 10 minutes-"
"You'll what Beverly?"
"Get your ass in the kitchen, and pack it so we can move."
"Fine Bev, whatever you say." I say standing to my feet before I stretch my limber bones.
"We used to be so close Cassi." She says holding her head down and dare I say it with much sadness before she turns away and walks down the stairs.
I turn my back to her as she walks away and I take in a deep breath and sigh. I take one last look at my father's office and I feel just as empty as the walls. The walls used to be full of our pictures and mementos we collected over the years, now they're bare and all that's left is nothing. Nothing but the memories.
Today is moving day, and we're preparing to move many miles away to West Palm. Ugh. Who moves from Chicago to Florida? Apparently we do. But thank goddess all I have to do is make it here one year and I'm free. Free from her especially.
"We're here!" She says pulling into the driveway of the home of her Prince Charming. "Aren't you excited?"
"If there was a choice between this and a root canal without anesthesia, I'd choose the root canal."
I watch as my mother rolls her eyes and exits the vehicle just as her new found beau opens the door. I sit back in the seat as the salt and pepper haired man greets my mother with a hug and a kiss to her cheek. I begin to feel the heat that's overcoming me now that the car is off and the air conditioner has been turned off.
"I guess I gotta get out."
I've never been a fan of heat and to move me to sunny Florida, is closely condemning me to hell.
"Cassidy, it's so lovely to meet you." He says as he extends his hand out and I don't want to shake it but I do because my mother's eyes are burning a hole into the side of my face.
"Likewise Maxwell."
"You can call me Max."
"Where's my room?"
"I'll show you your room and then we can go out to dinner. Maybe on the beach?"
"Oh Max, that sounds divine!" My mother exclaims and I nearly burst into laughter with how fake she is.
"Shane, will be here soon and he'll help you with your bags."
"Who's Shane?"
"Shane's my son, he'll be home from his sophomore year of college."
"Right your son I almost forgot about our happy family."
"Maxie, why don't you show me our room."
I just might vomit from the thought of what that means, and I'll never be able to get the visual of my mother grinding up against him like a cat. I walk off leaving them alone and in search of my new cell. I walk the hall with slate gray walls and oak floors. I take a peek into the rooms and none have any of my things in them. I get to the third floor and there's three doors. I open the one on the right and it's a huge bathroom with views of the beach. I look at myself in the mirror and see myself in the light.
I see my mother's bright hazel eyes that she handed me on a silver platter as she says and I see my father's unruly hair. I'm not like most girls, who spend hours in the mirror making sure I have on the perfect outfit and makeup so some boy who only wants my V card can fuck it up with lies and tears. I was that girl but after my uncle Brian, I've never been the same.

I shook my head in disbelief and stood watching his door waiting for something. What? I have no clue but I waited. Finally, snapping back to reality on shaky legs I made my way to my room.."What just happened?" I say aloud. "Did he just- did I just?" I say as lie in bed looking up at the ceiling.I was mentally disheveled just thinking about what had just taken place. There was one thing I could take away from his viewing and that was his tattoos. Shane has a tattoo that I believe is in Spanish, right on his deep V. A Google search of word meanings ended up keeping me up the rest of that first night. But not all was lost once I found the meaning."Amante duro." Google translation speaks into my headphones. "Hard lover." I swallowed hard because I could imagine how rough he could be with his lovers.Dawn breaks and I finally drift off to sleep with my stepbrother heavy on my mind.

Butterflies swarmed in my stomach as I stared out at Shane and what I assume his friend shirtless moving boxes in the Florida heat. I couldn't make out Shane's tattoo from here but I knew it looked tribal. I just prayed that they would all ignored me and I could run into the house without any interaction."Hey Shane and Will! Come meet Beverly and Cassidy!" Maxwell called out and I could have smacked him in the back of his full head of hair.I tried to just wave and get into the house before the two of them could come our way but Beverly just had to ruin it."Cassi! Don't be rude.""Hey I'm William, but people call me Will."The tall blonde haired man said reaching his hand out to me. His eyes were a deep blue and his skin was tan and creamy."Hey I'm Cassidy.""Welcome to West Palm, you love it here and if you need anything, I'm your man." He said with a wink

I let out a breath that I felt was stuck in my lungs since I first set eyes on Shane. I looked around the pastel purple room and I was seconds from vomiting. I hadn't like the color purple in years."My mother really doesn't know me." I say rolling my and shaking my head. Turning to touch the knob I felt hesitation wash over me."Come on Cass, he's just another trust fund jock."I peeked into the hallway and the coast was clear. I darted to the steps and quickly out the front door right into a leggy redhead with piercing green eyes."Who the fuck are you?""Who the fuck are you?" I say defensively. The redhead brushes pass me and quickly starts to call out Shane's name. "Um I don't remember inviting you in?"The redhead looked me over and with a raised brow and arms crossed defensively I stare back. Clearly she's trying too hard with a barely there jean skirt and a criss

I felt the tears starting to take over me but I wouldn't let them fall. Brian was my mother's brother who watched me as a child and one day he no longer saw a child. My small breasts were becoming fuller and my dancer legs and firm butt were all he'd stare at.On my 15 birthday he picked me up from practice while mom was maybe somewhere drunk and dad was at work. He took me home and decided to come in, and I saw the cupcakes he left on the counter top and a card with a coupon for a daddy daughter date. I didn't see him staring at me but I felt him and I wanted to get upstairs and change. I told him mom would be here soon and he didn't need to stay but he insisted.I went upstairs to change and just as I undressed I saw him watching me from the doorway with a look in his eye. I turned to him covering myself but that didn't do me any good. Brian, entered my room and closed the door locking it behind him and my heart was beating fast becaus
