My stepfather.

? chapter 4. ?

"So how's work going honey?" She says as she bites the straw from her mojito cocktail trying to show her cleavage. I rolled my eyes and cringed at the situation. God if you're real, please get me out of there, I thought to myself. I wondered what job he had though.

"It's okay, thank you" He responded, still with his deep, Raspy voice and very cold tone. I couldn't help but squeeze my legs together

"Me and lo are so thankful by the way james, thank you so much you didn't have to do that, right lo?" My mom pushes her elbow at me harshly to wake me up

"Uh- yea-" I said while not catching up with the conversation

"It's nothing don't thank me"

I couldn't help but stare at him, at his s*xy *ss hair and beard, those deep brown eyes, his messy hair, that s*xy *ss leather jacket. The way he sat. The movement of his mouth and jaw while he chewed on his meat, his hands rubbing together every once and a while, the way his fingers wrapped around his knife and fork while he cuts his food and bring it to his mouth. The way he tried to seem interested at what my mom was saying and how badly he tried to avoid my gaze. The way he would nod and how his hair would bounce or fall on his forhead, His adam's apple moving while he swallowed his food. and his neck tattoos poking out. It intrigued me I wanted to see more

While I was zoning out, I heard my mom say my name and it woke me up.
"Right lo?"

"Wha-"

"I'll gladly help her" james said, and it confused me. F*ck why can't I stay focused, it's impossible when i have this f*cking view in front of me, and I wasn't talking about the beach.

"Lo are you even listening?! James offered to help you learn how to drive isn't that amazing?"

"What- I know how to dr-"

"Oh c'mon last thing you drove was your bike when you were 12" I blushed, of course she would embarass me like that, but I blushed even more when I heard james chuckle. My mom didnt even know that the thing I wanted to drive wasn't a car but your d*mn boyfriend-

"There's no shame in that doll" He mocked and I rolled my eyes

"I don't need anyone's help!"

"Oh shut up, you crashed that bike 7 times you definitely need some help" my mom said and i wanted to push her out of the window for embarassing me like that in front of him. What made me even more furious was that he was laughing. I almost got destabilized as i heard his laugh for the first time. It was definitely rare and so sexy, but i wish i heard his laugh in different f*cking circumstances. Not while he was laughing at me!

"you're 17 you should start learning, you know at your age-"

"We know mom, I don't think james wants to know"

"Well I'm sure he'll want to know more about your bike stories "

"No I don't think so-"

"Actually I do." He said and grinned with the most devilish smirk. I wanted to kick him in the b*lls with my heels.

"Well it will have to wait cause I have to use the restroom. excuse me for a sec" my mom winked and removed herself. F*ck. I was left with him alone. The idea of being alone with him made my heart beat so d*mn fast I thought it was about to rip out of my chest. I wanted to jump in a tiny hole and never come out, I didn't want to face anymore awkward situations. I tried to pretend like I was cutting my potatoes but as soon as my mom left he opened his mouth

"So bike rider huh?" He mocked
I rolled my eyes at him

"Am I the only thing that's entertaining you Tonight?" I teased

"I should say the same thing, you like what you see?" He said innocently. F*ck! Of course he caught me staring I was such an idiot. I blushed and my eyebrows raised. He smirked

"I didn't know you could smile" I sarcastically replied

"There's a lot of things you don't know doll" f*ck, the way he said my name had me squeezing my legs once again

"I'd like to know." I bit my lip

His eyes widened, almost like he didn't expect it, he wiped his mouth with his handkerchief. He leaned over me slowly. As he sat in front of me, our faces were a bit close, he smelled so f*cking good. He quietly said in the naughtiest and calmest way:

"Guess you'll have to show me how well you ride bikes now mhm?" I gulped and blushed once again like an idiot. I didn't know if I had a dirty mind but this didn't sound innocent. I thought I was going to choke on my own spit from how flustered i was. That was so hot and i was trying to process what  happened. I turned red and i bit my lip while looking down, because he was so intimadating. Unfortunately, my mom arrived, I didn't know if it was a bad or a good thing. Probably good, God knew I'd stutter too much if I opened my mouth. He kept eating his food while looking at me, like nothing happened. He did have that little smirk in the corner of his mouth, he knew what effect he had on me.

"I'm back did you guys miss me!?"

Definitely not.

"So what were you guys talking about? I knew lo would like you"

You definitely don't want to know mom.

"Oh Doll was just telling me that she'd enjoy those driving lessons" james said and I raised my eyebrows in confusion. What game was he trying to play

"Wha-"

"Amazing! Thank you so much honey" my mom said.

"Anyways don't you have more stories about doll?"

"Well, I guess it's time to go" I interrupted, james laughed once again. Not going to lie, making him laugh this much that night satisfied me, because usually he was a cold person.

After a while we headed home and james drove us in his black jeep.

"C'mon honey, stay tonight, that's the least I can do for everything you did today"

For f*cks sake, don't get me wrong I was really grateful for everything james did but what I hated the most about my mom's boyfriends was when they started living with us at home. It was such a pain in the *ss. Some of them were messy, some were f*cking thieves. I hated it, especially considering how our apartment was small. And there was something scary about living under the same roof as james, I didn't know if I'd be able to control or handle myself. Control these thoughts about him...

"No it's okay Teresa, another time"
Thank God he declined.

"No please stay for the night, it's late."

He glanced at me in the rearview mirror, we made eye contact once again and he said,

"Fine but just tonight"

Oh you've got to be f*cking kidding me.
