Ronnie's point of view:I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. The morning after the thunderstorm the other night was peaceful and serene. The sun was shining and it was the perfect day to start fresh. But as I opened my eyes, I realized I was lying on the same bed with Derek. I was taken aback for a moment as I tried to recall how I ended up in this situation. I then remembered how I banged on his door, begging him to let me sleep in his room because of the thunderstorm last night. As I lay there, I noticed the awkward position Derek's arms were wrapped around me in a spooning position. I stiffened and blushed in embarrassment as I recalled how this position was a favorite amongst couples. Suddenly, I felt something hard poking me from behind. My hand slid down Derek's crotch and I felt his morning erection. I was shocked and embarrassed. The heat rose to my face and I shouted, nudging Derek very hard in the stomach which woke him up. Derek rolled of
Ronnie's point of view:As Derek walked past us and towards his room, I couldn't help but feel a wave of shock and disbelief wash over me.How could he act like he didn't know Meg, when they had a history together?Meg's expression mirrored my own shock, as she turned to me and asked, "Who is Derek to you?" I answered her truthfully, "He's my stepbrother."The color drained from Meg's face, and I could see how uneasy she was as she heard the truth from my lips. She shifted nervously, looking anywhere but at me.I leaned forward, glaring at her. "Is Derek the guy you had a fling with at campus?" I asked, my voice low and menacing. Meg slowly nodded, confirming my suspicions."I knew it," I said, feeling a mixture of anger and disappointment. "This is so awkward."Meg looked at me with pleading eyes, "Is this going to affect our friendship?" she asked, her voice trembling.I sighed, "No, it's not," I replied, but deep inside, I wasn't happy. Derek had been the one guy I'm trying to
I was supposed to be out with my friends at the local karaoke bar, having a good time. I was supposed not to find any love interest or whatever that means. Not until Jacob showed up. He was tall, with broad shoulders, and a chiseled jawline. He had piercing blue eyes that seemed to sparkle in the dim lights of the bar. I couldn't help but feel drawn to him as he stood across the room, watching us.My friend Meg and her two friends were up on stage, belting out a song. They were having the time of their lives, but I couldn't concentrate on their performance. All I could think about was Jacob and the way his gaze kept flickering over to me.Meg noticed what was happening and came to sit beside me. "Looks like you two like each other," she said with a sly smile.I blushed and replied, "It's not what you think it is." But deep down, I knew she was right. I couldn't help but feel drawn to Jacob and the way he was looking at me.Meg raised an eyebrow, "Really? Then why have you bee
I could feel my heart pounding as Derek cornered me, his entire body crowding me against the wall. I tried to push him away, but his strength was overwhelming. Fear consumed me as I realized I was trapped.As I looked into his cold and dark eyes, I could feel the anger and irritation radiating off of him. His gaze was so intense that it felt like he was piercing right through me. I could see the fury building up within him, and I knew I was in trouble."Who the hell is that donkey?" Derek demanded, his voice booming in the small room."His name's Jacob," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm despite the fear that was threatening to overwhelm me."Where did you meet him?" Derek asked, his tone sharp and accusatory."At the karaoke bar," I answered, feeling a knot form in my stomach."Why are you afraid?" Derek demanded, his expression darkening with anger.I managed to free his grip on my hair and took a step back, my heart racing."Because you're scaring me," I admitted, my voic
Ronnie's point of view:As I finished my evening lecture for the day, I packed my things and headed towards the door when I heard Meg's voice calling out to me. "Hey Ronnie, wait up!"I slowed my pace, allowing Meg to catch up with me. "So?" she asked eagerly. "How did it go?"Her question took me by surprise. "What do you mean?" I asked, looking at her quizzically."Don't play dumb with me," Meg said, grinning mischievously. "You and Jacob. Did he drop you off? Did you two do the goodnight kiss? Did he set up a date or something?"Despite my best efforts to keep my cool, I couldn't help but feel my cheeks flush with embarrassment at Meg's probing questions. "It went well," I admitted, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. "We fixed a date. This Friday."Meg let out a high-pitched squeal of excitement, making me cringe inwardly."Not bad," she said, nudging me playfully. "You've just gotten yourself a fancy man after all."As much as I wanted to share the news with Meg about
Ronnie's point of view:As Derek grabbed my wrist, I froze in shock. My heart was pounding in my chest as he pulled me away from Jacob's arms. I could feel my face contort in a mixture of surprise and fear. What was happening? Why was Derek doing this?Being in Derek's arms felt oddly comforting, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. As he shielded me away from Jacob, I caught my breath and looked up at him. His eyes were filled with anger and possessiveness. "She's mine," he declared, his voice firm and unwavering.I could see the anger in Jacob's eyes as he looked at Derek. "What the hell's your deal, huh?" he spat out. "She's your sister. Why can't you let her hang out with me? Or are you two dating?""Huh?!" I exclaimed. Derek narrowed his eyes. "Go ahead and think whatever you like. I wouldn't be bothered with the likes of you. Just keep your filthy hands off Ronnie."I had no idea what was going on. My head was in a spiral and I can't even think straight. "Why?"
Ronnie's point of view:I sat in my room, refusing to speak to Derek for the whole night and the next morning. I was so angry at him for interfering in my life. How dare he ruin my little outing with Jacob? I couldn't believe he had the audacity to do that. It was none of his business. When we got home that night, I ignored him as he tried to talk to me, and I even slept with my back facing his room. I woke up the next morning, still feeling mad at Derek over what happened last night. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, trying to calm myself down. I looked at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath. I needed to find a way to deal with my anger. I didn't want to be around Derek anymore. I wished he wasn't my step-brother. I resolved within myself to find an apartment of my own. Living alone with Derek was becoming unbearable. I needed my own space, my own privacy. I didn't want anyone interfering in my life, especially not him. I started browsing through apartmen
Derek held my hand tightly, staring into my eyes with a look of urgency. The atmosphere between us was tense and uncomfortable, making me feel like something big was about to happen.I couldn't help but feel disgusted as he spoke to me. "There is one thing you can do, though.""If you're about to ask me to do something dirty, forget it," I said firmly, pulling my hand away from his grip.Derek smirked, but his eyes told a different story. "Trust me, there are many dirty things I can think of, but you're definitely not the girl I'd dream of doing it with.""You're lying," I responded, my instincts telling me that there was something more to his request. "Your expression is telling me otherwise."Derek's face became serious, and I knew that this was going to be a tough conversation. "I want you to stay away from Jacob," he said firmly.I faced him fully, folding my arms across my chest. "I wanted us to get around to this. You know that's not possible, right?"Derek's expression was sk
Derek's point of view:Ronnie and I had been waiting for our parents to arrive in Paris so we could have a family meeting and discuss our relationship. We were prepared to fight for our love, no matter what our parents said.When they finally arrived, we were both surprised by their demeanor. Instead of being confrontational, they smiled at us and asked for our forgiveness for not understanding us.Ronnie's mom spoke first, "I want to apologize for how I've treated your relationship, Ronnie. It was wrong of me to try and force my views on you. You're an adult now and I trust you to make your own decisions."Ronnie was taken aback by her mother's words, "Thank you, Mom. That means a lot to me."My dad also spoke up, "I know I haven't been the easiest father to deal with, Derek. But I want you to know that I respect you and your choices. I may not agree with them all the time, but I'll always support you."I was surprised by his words, "Thank you, Dad. That means more to me than you k
Derek's point of view:I booked a plane for Paris as soon as I left my father's office, and I packed my bags and boarded the plane without looking back. My phone kept ringing, but I didn't answer. I needed some time to clear my head and figure out what I was going to do next.It had been a month weeks since Ronnie left, and I hadn't been the same. I was restless and distracted at work, and I knew I couldn't continue like this. That's why I had to resign from my father's company. It was a difficult decision, but I knew I had to do it if I wanted to be happy.As the plane took off, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. I couldn't wait to be reunited with Ronnie, but I also knew that there were challenges ahead. We had a lot to talk about, and we needed to figure out what we were going to do next.But one thing was for sure: I couldn't imagine my life without Ronnie. She was my everything, and I was willing to do whatever it takes to make this work.Even if it meant defying my f
Later that evening, Ronnie and I got together in my apartment we rented together. Ronnie was leaning her head on my shoulder, her arms wrapped around my neck. We were sitting on the couch, watching a movie, and enjoying each other's company. Suddenly, I had an idea. It was a bit impulsive, but I felt like it could work."Ronnie, let's make a baby," I said.She lifted her head from my shoulder and looked at me with surprise. "What?" she asked."If you got pregnant, then our parents would have no choice but to approve of us getting married," I explained.Ronnie's eyes widened as she considered my proposal. "That's a brilliant idea," she said, her smile slowly faded away. "but...""But?" I raised my eyebrows. Ronnie shook her head, "I want to get married first before having a baby, Derek."I knew that was coming. "Our parents would never approve of our wedding unless they're backed against the corner," I countered. "You having a baby clinches it.""I can't," Ronnie said, her tone p
Ronnie's point of view:I walked into my mother's room, the door creaking slightly as it closed behind me. She was sitting on her bed, looking up at me with a worried expression. I knew that this wasn't going to be an easy conversation. We'd been arguing a lot lately, and I knew that things were coming to a head."What do you want, Ronnie?" My mother asked, her voice soft and almost pleading."I need to know why you and dad won't approve of me and Derek getting married," I said, trying to keep my voice calm and steady.My mother sighed heavily, as if the weight of the world was on her shoulders. "Ronnie, you know why. We can't approve of you marrying your stepbrother. It's just not right.""But why? We're not blood-related. We're not even technically step-siblings anymore. You and dad approved of our relationship, and Derek's dad even supported us through all that media scandal. We're just two people who love each other," I argued, feeling the frustration building inside me."It's
Derek's first person:Ronnie and I were more than just step-siblings. We fell in love during our childhood days, and our relationship grew stronger as time went on to adulthood. Despite attending different universities, we made sure to stay in touch. We would call and text each other frequently, sharing our thoughts and feelings. We even made a pact to visit each other as often as we could.When we couldn't be together, we found other ways to stay connected. We would send each other love notes and care packages, reminding each other of our love. It was always comforting to know that we had each other, even when we were apart.As our relationship progressed, we graduated from university. Ronnie pursued her passion for painting, and I took over my father's billion-dollar business. It was a challenging time and we rarely see ourselves, but we supported each other through it all. We knew that no matter what, we would always have each other's backs.Despite our busy schedules, we
Ronnie's point of view:The rest of the semester was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. On one hand, I was heartbroken over what had happened with Derek and devastated by the fact that Mike was fooling around with girls at his school.But on the other hand, I was determined to focus on my studies and try to move forward with my life.I threw myself into my classes and spent long hours at the library, pouring over textbooks and taking copious notes. I tried to stay busy, filling my free time with studying, exercise, and spending time with my friends.But despite my best efforts, I couldn't shake the feelings of sadness and heartache that seemed to linger around me. I missed Derek and wished that things could have been different between us. And I couldn't help but think about Mike and wonder what might have been if things had turned out differently.As the end of the semester approached, I found myself growing more and more anxious about my future. I wasn't sure where I was headed or
Ronnie's point of view:After hanging up with Derek, I sat in my room for what felt like hours, just staring blankly at the wall. I couldn't believe what I had just heard - that he had been seeing other girls behind my back.My mind was spinning with thoughts and emotions. How could he do this to me? Did he really love me at all? I felt hurt, angry, and betrayed all at once. I loved Derek so much, and the thought of him being with someone else made me sick.But at the same time, I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe I was partly to blame.Maybe if I had been there for him more, if I had made more of an effort to visit him, he wouldn't have felt the need to see other girls. Maybe it was my fault for not being enough for him.Ever since we began schooling separately, none of us had the time to visit one another. I couldn't even pay him a visit partly because I was afraid someone might recognise me in his school. Derek was an honest guy. I respect him for not hiding anything fro
Derek's point of view:When I enrolled in my university, I was eager to start dating. Ronnie went to another university, but we tried to make it work. However, being away from her made me feel lonely, and I found myself falling back into my old habit of flirting with girls.It started innocently enough, just harmless flirting and talking to girls in my classes. But then it escalated, and before I knew it, I was hooking up with girls from my school. I couldn't help myself. The attention and excitement were addicting.I knew what I was doing was wrong, and I felt guilty about it. Ronnie was a great girlfriend, and I knew I was being unfair to her. But at the same time, I couldn't stop myself. The thrill of being with new girls was too tempting.I tried to justify my actions by telling myself that Ronnie and I were so far apart, and our relationship was already strained. But deep down, I knew that wasn't a valid excuse. I was betraying her trust, and it made me feel terrible.I wi
Ronnie's point of view: I was sitting in my room, surrounded by piles of books, trying to concentrate on studying. It was a particularly difficult chapter in my history textbook, and I was struggling to make sense of the complex timelines and events. The sound of raindrops tapping against my window was the only thing that broke the silence in my room.Suddenly, a thunderclap outside made me jump in my seat, causing my pen to fly out of my hand. I froze, realizing that it was raining heavily outside. I could hear the loud sound of the raindrops pelting against my window.Fear crept into my mind, and I could feel my heart racing.I pulled the blanket closer to me, trying to calm myself down, but the sound of thunderclaps kept coming one after another. It was terrifying, and I felt like I was in the middle of a warzone. As I was trying to calm myself down, another thunderclap shook the room, and I yelped, unable to control my fear.Suddenly, my thoughts drifted to Derek. Whenever
