BRANDON'S POV
I walked into the living room in a rush so as to grab a can of Cola when my dad walked in right through the front door.
"Hi dad,"I greeted him and went about my business. I wanted to go back to my room to play some video games but he stopped me.
"Come on son, wait, I want to introduce you to someone special,"He said in a rather excited tone and even though I was confused, I decided to stay.
"Who?"I asked him and that is when a middle aged woman with a fair skin and a pretty face walked into the room.
"Who is this woman?"I asked him. I didn't understand why he was with a woman in the first place.
"Son, meet Jennifer. I have been seeing hee for quite a while. She will be your step mother,"He dropped the bombshell.
"What!"I gasped.
"She is a fun woman, you will love her,"My dad insisted.
"You are so unbelievable dad , it is not even three months since mum died,"I told him and I could feel a surge of anger in my system.
"Son, please"He begged.
"f**k you dad, who knows maybe you had an affair and mum knew about it and that is why she died of heart attack,"I shouted as I rushed upstairs.
I couldn't believe that my dad was doing this to me.
It has hardly been a month since my mum died yet he has the audacity to bring a woman home in the name of my step mother.
I was never going to agree to this. Over my dead body!
There is no way I would welcome that w***e into our house.
I would never accept her. In fact, I am going to leave this house and I would look for an apartment to stay that is located near our school.
Well my name is Brandon Brown and I am a third year student at New York University taking Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory sciences.
My dad and I have been closer than ever before since my mum died of heart attack but right now, he has betrayed me completely.
Never will I accept that woman to be my step mother.
I tried playing the video game I I had just paused but it become a hard but to c***k.
I was distracted. I didn't want to be in this house anymore. I hated my dad.
I loved my mum a lot and what my dad is doing is so unfair to me and to mummy.
I grabbed my leather jacket and descended downstairs. I was going to go out with my friend Martin and have some drinks and maybe thanks to that, I would forget what my dad had done.
I was never going to condone his actions.
"Son, but your step mum is preparing dinner for the two of us,"My dad requested me as I walked past him heading out.
"Son, please,"He begged when he realised that I was going to ignore what he was telling me.
"Andrew, listen and listen good. I will never accept this w***e of a woman as my step mother. Never! If you wanted mum to die so that you can bring this w***e home,then I will not be a part of it. I hope this makes you happy."I shouted at him.
He makes me so angry. He should have thought of mum or he should have thought of me before bringing this w***e home.
"Brandon, listen to me! That is enough. You are going to show Jenny here some respect. Do you hear me?"He said through gritted teeth.
"What if I don't, because I won't respect her,"I told my dad. There is no way I was going to respect that woman.
"I won't pay your fees. If you walk out through that door, just know that I will not pay your fees,"He told me this and I knew that I didn't have any other choice other than staying.
I value my education and since I don't have a side hustle, I had to stay.
I was just doing this for the sake of my education, nothing else. I would never love my step mother.
"Darling, dinner is ready,"Jenny come and kissed my dad right before announcing about dinner.
"Great, just great,"
I followed them to the dining table and we sat around a round table.
"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Your dad and I are so in love and he is such a good man,"My stepmother Jennifer started talking to me.
I was losing it. I lost my appetite. I really hate this woman. Talking to her makes me feel worse. She should have never come to our lives. I hate her so much.
"Come on son, you will love her, I am planning to marry her officially soon. We will have a party here in our garden and you will be our best man,"My dad suggested.
"Please dad, I am trying to have my dinner. Please,"I begged the two of them.
"Come on son, I am not a villain,"Jennifer suggested and I knew that I had, had enough.
I dragged my chair and left the table. I couldn't do this anymore. I rushed to my room. Once I locked myself in, I called my best friend Martin.
"Martin,"I called his name once he picked up the call. Martin and I have been close for ages hence I knew for a fact that he would understand what am going through.
"Yes Brandon, how are you?"He implored.
"My dad brought a woman home. He wants me to accept her as my step mother."I explained to Martin.
"Well, then you should be happy for him," Martin told me and I couldn't believe it.
"What! No, of course not! He is my dad, he should not remarry,"I told Martin.
"Come on Brandon, I think he is just finding his own happiness,"Martin tried to convince me.
"No, I won't accept that woman,"I made it clear.
"Come on, it is not a must you like him. As long as he makes your dad happy,"Martin tried to convince me.
"I don't know man, I feel so bad. Like he is cheating on my mother,"I told him the truth.
"You have not gotten over your mother's death. You need someone too. Brandon, it is high time you get yourself a girlfriend," Martin advised me.
"No, of course not,"I countered.
"You have to, I will find you a girl,"He insisted
"Come on man, you know that I don't believe in love. I don't want to have a girlfriend,"I tried to stop him.
"At this rate, you have to. I will find you a girlfriend,"He insisted and I knew that what he has said was final.
No one goes against Martin.
