Indifferently

I was finally back home. Susan and those women had taken care of my hair and a painful full body wax. I had never felt so exposed in my life. 

As soon as I walked into the living room, I felt my brother's gaze " Fuck, Lexa, is that you?" 

Daniel had his surprised expression as his eyes wandered all over my body as I blinked rapidly, "Fuck sister, you look great!" He said with a loud clap.... 

"You think so?" I said.

"I'm sure Susan had the idea, didn't she?" He hinted, helping me carry the shopping to the sofa. 

"It's obvious, I asked her for some help" I said walking towards the stairs. However, at that moment an irritating voice was heard.

"Good heavens honey, can't we really eat out?" 

As soon as I heard that voice, my happy expression vanished. Arianna had been my brother's girlfriend for 3 years, and every day she was more and more unbearable when my brother wasn't around. 

However, in the last year she had behaved differently, as if suddenly all her hatred for me had strangely diminished.

She always wore little dresses or tiny skirts and high, possibly painful heels. 

"But what... Who is she?" I suddenly heard her ask.

She was looking up and down my body with a self-centred look. Fuck, her slutty face was even more evident than ever. 

"Lexa... Daniel's sister... doesn't she remember?" I hinted incredulously. 

Maybe Arianna was beautiful, with her caramel skin, short hair and goddess-like build, but intelligence was definitely not one of her greatest qualities. 

"God, you... you look different" She hinted in complete surprise. 

In fact, the expressions of both of them made me feel a bit confused. Was my normal outfit that bad? 

"You're right Lexa, you look great" My brother added "You..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Arianna grabbed his arm and kissed him passionately in front of me. 

When I saw them I was stunned, I didn't understand why Arianna always did that, it's like she saw me as a threat, even though Daniel was just my brother. 

Not wanting to think about it, I just went up to my room and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked really fantastic, my reddish hair falling over my ass, while the clothes Susan picked out accentuated my hourglass figure. 

I was able to detail myself a little more, but my brother shouted my name. 

The reality was that my mother had come home, she had been acting a little strange, but Daniel and I got the idea out of our heads that she had a boyfriend, after all, it had only been 5 years since dad disappeared. 

As soon as I got back to the living room I looked at my mom and was about to run to greet her, but at that moment my steps stopped when I saw the prominent figure of Garrett Walker, but what the hell was Morgan's father doing in my house? 

"Oh Lexa, you look beautiful" my mother exclaimed, looking at me.

At that moment I saw Garrett and how he smiled at my mother in a strange way. In fact, he had just divorced Morgan and Mike's mother a year ago. But I remember well that he was having an affair with a woman and that's why his ex-wife just asked him for a divorce. 

"I hope you guys don't mind if I join you for dinner," Garrett said with a calm expression. 

"Oh, don't worry Mr. Walter, is Mike coming too? " Daniel asked naively.

"No. He's... he's not coming, it's just me" Garrett said.

After greeting each other, we just sat at the table and began to taste the food that the maid had prepared. For a long time there was an awkward silence, it was the first time Mr. Garret had eaten with us without one of his children present. 

At that, I exchanged a couple of glances with Daniel until his voice boomed in the room. 

"Well, let's get this shit over with, mother, will you tell us what the hell is going on?" Daniel said making everyone at the table look at him. 

"Daniel! Don't take that tone with your mother!" Garret's shout was completely bizarre.

Why was that man talking to my brother like that? Daniel was 26 fucking years old!

"Honey, it's okay...yeah?" My mother said, making my eyes widen like two plates. 

"Heney?" I hinted in a disbelieving whisper.

Daniel and I looked at my mother with an incredulous expression, we didn't know what was going on, but it was obvious that things were not good. 

"Children... I.. I fell in love" she said holding Garrett's hand. 

"What the hell mum!" Daniel shouted, getting up from the table with a loud gasp. 

"Daniel! Stop it,’ Garrett yelled, slamming the table and glaring at my brother with an angry glare. 

I wasn't even paying attention to what was going on, all I could think about was that now my mother was with Morgan's father, how the hell could this be happening?

"Fuck mother, what is this?" Daniel asked putting his hands on his head. 

"I know, it's hard to process, but the wedding will be soon" my mother said softly. 

When I heard those words I stood up from the table "Wedding? What are you talking about?" I asked making Daniel sigh with annoyance. 

"What are you, Lexa? They're getting married! Shit, they're getting married in the summer!  Mike and Morgan know?" added Daniel. 

"Yes, they both agree" Garrett said confidently. 

When I heard that, my heart almost stopped, did that mean Morgan knew all along? He loved his mother more than anything. At that moment an idea came to my mind. 

Was that the reason for Morgan's hatred of me? My mother was fucking his father!

"Guys, I know this is hard to swallow, but Garrett and I love each other, and it's been a long time since your father..." my mother said with a pause. 

Her words felt like a distant whisper. I didn't even hear what she was saying, I just turned back to the table and put my hands over my face. 

At that moment Arianna's voice was heard at the head of the table "Honey, they love each other, maybe you should be less rude... " 

Before Arianna could finish her words, Daniel's gaze fell furiously on her "Did you...did you know about this?" Daniel asked making Arianna's eyes widen nervously. 

"I don't, I can't believe this" I said with a wry laugh. 

"I can't take this shit, Lexa, come with me" said Daniel dragging me towards his room. We both locked ourselves in and sat on the bed to think. 

The reality is that my mother and Morgan's mother were best friends, however, my father disappeared and my mother became closer to that family, but now it all made sense, my mother was the cause of that divorce. 

After a couple of hours my brother confessed to me that he wasn't so sure about Arianna, she had kept this from him, just another drop in the bucket. 

"I think I'll wait for the summer to end and call off our engagement. I don't see myself in a life with her" my brother suddenly added. 

"It's a good idea. Let's just enjoy this summer" I tried to cheer him up.

"Yeah, besides, now we have a stepfather and two stepbrothers" Daniel said with a forced smile. 

His words felt like a dagger in my heart. Morgan would be my brother... Fuck, life couldn't get any worse? 

***

The days had passed and the day to go on the trip had finally arrived. It was fucking early and sleep was killing me, besides, I didn't want to go but, I couldn't let Garrett and my mum ruin the holiday. 

Sighing I just took a shower and then put on a short shorts and a button down shirt over black lace. 

After I got dressed I went downstairs and met Mike in the hallway. Mike was so handsome, with his muscular body, semi-short blond hair and light eyes. 

"Wow Lexa, you look beautiful" said Mike with a warm smile on his face. 

He waved at me and I felt his arm around my body. Mike was like a brother to me, I even trusted him a lot and I loved the idea that he was so different from Morgan.

"Sit next to me in the car" he added cheerfully before wrapping his arms around my shoulders and kissing my forehead. 

However, when I turned to go to the living room I found Morgan standing there, looking at me with a furious expression. He walked down the car park and put his bags in the car, Morgan looked fucking sexy with his hair blown out and his casual clothes.

A strange tingle ran through my body as I looked at him, I quickly looked away and shook my head. 

but just as i walked to the car i saw Walter Funer, the second most hated bastard in the world. i didn't know what the hell he was doing here, but i didn't want to make a fuss. 

"Wow gee, lexa, good to see you" he said. 

I frowned and ignored him before getting into the van. Walter was about to sit down next to me, when suddenly Mike got in and came forward and sat down next to me. 

"This is going to be an unforgettable summer, you'll see" Mike whispered in my ear making all my skin crawl. 

I was about to answer him, but at that moment Morgan turned around with his piercing gaze and pursed his lips. 

I couldn't help but notice his tattoos on his neck as I cursed myself. how the hell could this man be so attractive? Morgan was a complete gryo god, and I couldn't deny it. 

"Don't listen to him" Mike whispered, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. 

I looked up at him and smiled, resting my head on his muscular chest, but when I looked back at Morgan I noticed his fury. It was obvious that he didn't like the way Mike was treating me. 

Morgan's jaw was set as he shot me a nasty look before turning away again. 

I closed my eyes and enjoyed Mike's warm touch, however, at that moment Walter's voice was suddenly heard. 

"Shit, since when did lexa get so sexy?" he said behind me. 

"I see your standards have lowered" replied Morgan causing my fists to clench in annoyance. 

They both kept talking until the car pulled into the airport car park... We all got out of the car and walked to a coffee shop while we waited for our flight.

However, Daniel, my mum and Garrett, went together with Morgan and Mike to buy some things, while Walter was sitting on a couch in front of me and Arianna was taking a phone call.

"How have you been lexa?" 

Walter was as handsome as Morgan, but that made him even worse, after all, he knew how to look at me in a way that always made my cone throb for him. 

"Well" I said indifferently. 

The reality is that Walter and i had never even said a word to each other. The only thing that united us was his friendship with Morgan, but they were both assholes.
