Fate of Two Step Siblings Chapter 18
Pov: CalebIt was all finally over. The prom came and went, the excitement in the school died down and the student moved on to the next big event; graduation. Brianna was still on the moon about being elected as the prom queen. When her name was called that night, she acted like it was the most unexpected thing that had happened to her.The act was so convincing, I almost believed it even though I knew that she had been preparing for that moment. She could have won awards with that performance. I was also elected as prom King but it didn’t matter at all to me. I had even managed to misplace the cheap plastic crown that I was given by the end of the night.Brianna still stuck to me like glue. The dynamic between us has changed since we went out together. She was more flirty and possessive. I had even been asked more than once if the two of us were now an item. I knew it wasn’t right but I went along with it. We only had one month left until we graduated. I did not feel like causing a

Pov: VictoriaHe was dating her. Caleb was actually dating Brianna; the spawn of Satan, the thorn on my side, the pain in my ass. Even after I told him what happened between Brianna and I, he still decided to ask her to be his girlfriend. “Victoria, are you okay?” Caleb asks.It was a Monday afternoon. Caleb had come over after school. He had accidentally let it slip that he had not watched ‘Love Actually” and since we had no homework that day, I had decided to force him to watch it. Everyone needed to watch that movie at least once. It was two hours of pure genius.He pretended to be uninterested but by the time we were thirty minutes in, he was fully engrossed in the movie. His eyes were glued to the screen and he leaned forward towards the television. I wanted to ask him how he was liking the movie and he actually shushed me saying that he didn’t want to miss anything. Caleb was a big old romantic at heart and I loved that about him. During the ending, in the airport scene, he wa

Pov: VictoriaI had a boyfriend! Two weeks after our first date, Jonathan asked me to be his girlfriend. It was all happening very fast but I did not mind it. Alice and Sam liked him, my mom thought he was ‘the sweetest thing ever’ because he bought flowers for her and dropped them off when he came to pick me up for our first date.We had settled on having lunch at Paula’s and then going to the movies to see if they were playing anything good. I had suggested meeting him at the café but he was not having it. He insisted on coming to pick me up from home. I knew that I did not have to do that much to impress Jonathan but I was still nervous.I had to put in some effort. I think that my mom was even more excited about the date than I was. She had even skipped going to work that Saturday just so she could be home when Jonathan came to pick me up.“It's not like this is the first time a boy came to pick me up, Mom. Caleb did that all the time,” I tried to reason with her.“It’s not the sa

Pov: VictoriaHe would be happy to teach me. I was super excited. We set the baking date for that following weekend. The rest of the dinner went well. He cracked jokes and was very attentive. He complimented me so many times I was worried that my face would permanently turn red from blushing too much.After we ate, he paid for the meal and refused to listen to me when I wanted to pay for my own food. We headed for the mall and went straight to the movie theater. There was nothing interesting showing at the time that we got there so we went to get ice cream instead. I was still very stuffed from lunch but who says no to ice cream? I got vanilla ice cream and he got chocolate-flavored ice cream which I thought was an abomination so we argued about it for about twenty minutes before he relented. Vanilla will always be the superior flavor. We talked as we ate the ice cream. Our conversation was so interesting that we accidentally neglected our ice cream bowls.By the time we realized it,

Pov: Victoria It was finally graduation day. The four years of learning and hard work had all led up to this moment when I would get my high school diploma. It all felt very surreal. This time I had also gotten swept up in Sam and Alice’s excitement. The previous week we had all gone shopping and made sure that everyone had found the perfect outfit. My mom had even busted out the emergency credit card. She told me that no expenses would be spared. I only graduated once! The morning of, I was woken up by a text from Jonathan. “Wake up babe! We did it! I can’t wait to see you. I bet you’ll look great.” He was the sweetest. Over the two weeks, I had given a lot of thought to our relationship. He was perfect for me and I was happy when I was with him. I chose him. I owed it to myself to see what we could be. I jumped out of my bed, hopped into the shower, and started getting ready. I had straightened my hair the previous night and put it in curlers. So I took them out and put on my em

Pov: Victoria“I knew that our dating was too good to be true. I know that you have feelings for him Tori, I see the way that you look at him. It’s rather obvious to anyone but him.” “I am really sorry Jonathan.” I really meant it.I hated the sad defeated look on his face. It’s like he had seen this coming but decided to take a chance on me anyway, consequences be damned. I felt like a terrible person but I knew it had to be done.“I’m sorry too. I wish I was right for you. There are no hard feelings though. I wish you the best. Can I get one last hug?” he asked.Even in our breakup, he remained the perfect gentleman. I hated that I could not fall for him. I hugged him tightly and bade him farewell, closing that brief chapter in my life. I felt at peace with my decisionI headed back to where Sam and Alice were standing.“Is it done?” Sam asked.“Yeah, I did it and it sucked.”“What? What sucked? What’s done? Am I missing something here?” Alice asked, looking back and forth between

Pov: Caleb“Bye caleb! I am really going to miss you. I’ll come visit you as soon as I can.” Brianna said as she hugged me. Her hold on me was so tight, I felt like I was being suffocated.I could not believe that the summer was already over. It had gone by so fast. I had thoroughly enjoyed myself. The guys and I took full advantage of the summer sun. We swam nearly every day, we had gone on short road trips to places like the Grand Canyon, we partied harder than we ever had. I grew a lot closer to some of my team members.My relationship with Brianna had also flourished. We spent so much time together, our families had even met. I had gone over to their place several times. Her parents loved me. Then again, most parents did and when her sister came home, I bonded with her which was a huge relief. It was obvious that Bree looked up to her sister and valued her opinion above all else so when I got her stamp of approval I was elated. My family on the other hand had not warmed up to her

Pov: VictoriaI woke up that morning with a terrible hangover. Alice and I had partied a little too hard after the wedding. It was amazing how even after ten years, my girls; Samantha, Alice, and I were still best of friends. I had invited them both to the wedding (with the bride’s permission of course) but only Alice was able to come since she, like me, had moved back to Arizona after college.She moved back home to Sedona to take over her family’s business and I lived in Phoenix where I worked as a pastry chef at the La Grande Restaurant as a pastry chef. I had done and completed my degree in business administration at the University of Texas and tried to work in the finance world before I realized that it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.Alice was actually the person who encouraged me to join the culinary school to become a pastry chef. My short relationship with Jonathan somehow ended up changing the course of my life. Even after we broke up, the interest that

One Year LaterVictoria's POV“Annabelle, no. don’t put that flower in your mouth,” I heard Gloria’s voice shout followed by the sound of little feet running.The next thing I knew, two little figures came running into the room I was in. Annabelle who was in a beautiful blush pink poofy tulle dress had a rose stalk in her hand and my son, Liam followed right behind her with a huge smile on his face. When I saw him in his little tux, my heart melted. I couldn't believe that it had only been a year since I gave birth to him. He had gotten Caleb’s brown hair and my blue eye; the best of both worlds. Even at one year old, he had so much personality.He was the happiest baby that I knew. I didn’t know that I could love someone so little so much. Being a mom meant that you literally walked around every day with your heart outside your body. I wanted to just scoop him up and smother him with kisses.“No no no. Resist the cuteness. We have work to do,” Kathy, my makeup artist said, snapping
Fate of Two Step Siblings Chapter 88
Victoria's POVEveryone had been acting rather strange for the past two weeks. I didn’t know exactly what was going on but I could tell that something was up. When I asked Caleb if he saw it too, he told me that it was probably in my head. My mom invited all of us to their place for dinner because she thought that it had been a while since we were all together. I didn’t mind because that meant that I got to see Caleb. He had been so busy with work for the past two weeks, that I hadn’t gotten the chance to see him.I had started getting used to the idea of being pregnant. The only people who knew were me, Caleb, Alice, and Sam. I called Sam immediately after Caleb left and she was so happy for me. She told me that she hoped that it would be a girl because her head was already bursting with ideas of all the clothes she could make for her.I was honestly excited. Sure, I was very nervous about bringing new life to the world but he or she would be a product of the love between Caleb and

I was already in Sedona to visit Eric, so it wasn’t too far of a drive.When I arrived, Tori was standing at the door, tears in her eyes. “Caleb, I don’t know how to say this, but I’m pregnant.”I felt a rush of emotions wash over me. I was elated, overjoyed, and terrified all at the same time. I couldn’t believe that I was finally going to have a family with the woman that I loved. This was everything that I had ever wanted, and I knew that I had to do whatever it took to make this work.I pulled her into a tight hug and hugged her really tight. She had no idea what it meant to me. Ever since Annabelle was born, I had the overwhelming desire to settle down and have a family of my own. I wanted someone to come home to every day.Someone to love and hold and grow old with. I wanted a mini version of me running around the house and making a mess. I

Victoria's POVBliss.Pure unadulterated bliss. That's what I felt every second of the day. dating Caleb was the easiest decision that I had ever made. He made me feel like the most special girl in the world and made sure that I knew I was loved.He constantly sent me sweet texts. We would talk on the phone for hours and would drive to and from Arizona to Sedona every two days just because we couldn’t bear to be apart for too long. He had sent so many flowers to my house that I was running out of counter space to keep all of it. I had only dated Caleb for a month but I immediately knew that this was what dating should feel like. I was happy and felt secure knowing that my heart was in his hands.

Caleb's POVI placed my phone beside me on the couch and tried to ignore it. my eyes however kept drifting back to it hoping that it would light up with a response from Tori. When I heard a chime, I basically dove for it. Just like I had hoped, it was a message from Tori.Hi Caleb!Don’t worry about me. I’m going to be okay. I think we should meet and talk about everything. Let me know when you’re available.ToriI pumped my fist up in the air. This was huge. I had absolutely no hope that she would text back let alone be open to meeting with me. If she wanted, I would get into my car and drive to Sedona right away as tired as I was, I felt a surge of energy go through my body. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down before I responded. I didn’t want to push my luck.How about tomorrow? I could come down to Sedona.I texted back then dropped my phone like it was hot metal. I worried that maybe I sounded too eager. I was so nervous, I didn't think I was capable of playing it coo

Victoria's POVIt had been two weeks since my bakery was vandalized and I still couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. Every time I heard a sudden noise, my heart skipped a beat and my mind instantly jumped to worst-case scenarios.

I couldn't shake the feeling that Brianna was behind this.I always knew Brianna was trouble, but I never thought she was capable of doing something like this to me. She took away my pride and joy, the one thing that I worked so hard for. She set me back so much that I had to turn down orders because I was not in a good mental space to work. It was not just the financial loss that was weighing on me, it was the fact that Brianna took away something that was so dear to me.She took away my sense of security and left me feeling exposed. I had been staying
Fate of Two Step Siblings Chapter 83
Caleb's POVThe room was deathly quiet in the wake of Tori’s outburst.“Ummm…what was that? What was she talking about?” My dad asked.Every eye in the room turned to look at me expectantly. They were all waiting for me to shed light on the situation. I was still loss for words. Tori was actually blaming me for what happened to her store. I was in shock.“I don’t know. Tori never told me anything about Brianna threatening her. It’s the first I’ve heard of this,” I finally said.I was having a very hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Brianna could have done something like that. It wasn't like her at all, especially judging from the amount of damage that had been done to the store if my dad’s account of events was anything to go by.“Do you know where Brianna is right now?” my dad asked. “No, I haven’t seen or heard from her since we broke up so I have no way of knowing where she is. Wait, do you guys actually think that Brianna did this? There is no way.”Eric ran his hand

When I walked into the living room, I got flashbacks of our conversation. The wounds hurt all over again. That’s when I knew that I had to make a change. I couldn't keep living in the same house where I had spent countless nights thinking about him.I had been secretly browsing real estate listings for weeks, not telling anyone about my plans to move because I wasn't even sure if it was what I wanted. But after my last interaction with Caleb, I knew that it was time to make a change.I called my real estate agent and told him to expedite the viewing. I wanted to be out of the guest house for a week, and I didn't care about the cost or the logistics. I just wanted to leave, to start anew. Over the next few days, I visited several different houses. None of them felt quite right, but I knew that I couldn't kee

For years, I had dreamed of hearing those three little words from him, and now they were finally coming out of his mouth. "I love you, Tori," he said.My heart leaped in my chest at the sound of his words, and for a moment, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. He loved me. Caleb Stallone actually loved me back.
