He's My Stepbrother And My Crush

CHAPTER 1

MIRABEL

"You must be stupid if you think I'd allow a loser like yourself to join my group," Tania insulted me, pushing me away from her side.

I staggered from her point, feeling ashamed of myself.

"Just look at her. She thinks we'll take an ugly brat like her in the group. Have you seen yourself in the mirror?" One of Tania's friends mocked me.

They all kept laughing, calling me a loser, while I drifted my steps away from them, feeling hurt.

I just wanted to be among her group and be recognized among the cool students, but Tania showed me my place, leaving me hurt.

"Let's go before another... Oh my God!" Tania screamed out in excitement.

Her shriek had got my heart pounding in fear, wondering what the problem was.

The moment I traced where they were looking at, I felt an electric wave move through my entire body.

"Derek," I called softly, staring at the most handsome and popular guy at college.

Being the only son and heir to a wealthy billionaire, Derek Hallman had won so many people's heart, especially the ladies.

And Tania is no exception.

I've seen how she sings his name like a rhyme, trying to be noticed by him. But those who knows Derek well, knows he hates talking to girls.

And that has kept me away from Derek, hiding my feelings for him.

I've been in love with Derek since the day I first laid my eyes on him. But I've been so scared to near him or even talk to him.

"Maybe he'd treat me worst than the way Tania does," I believed, taking one more look at my crush.

He had turned to face my direction, and for a moment, it looked like he was staring at me.

I felt my heart skip, turning away before leaving that area.

After closing from school, I got back home to my mother, who happily pulled me closer to herself with an embrace, saying, "Mirabel, you're going to have a father and a brother soon."

"What?" I was stunned to hear this.

That's when Mom revealed to me that her lover, whom she has been dating for long, finally proposed to her.

"We're getting married!" She shrieked out in excitement, showing me her ring.

I felt a bit happy hearing this good news from her.

"Congratulations, Mom," I wished her.

"Your new father and I will be celebrating tonight. He's taking me out on a date. "

"That's great. You deserve it, Mom, " I said, showing my happiness.

Mom assured me that I'd enjoy my new family, which I didn't object to it.

"You're going to have a brother who'd look after you as well. Be happy my girl," She kissed my forehead, racing into her room.

I felt happy with my mother's new found love, hoping it brings her the joy she always wanted.

.

Alone at home during a rainy night, I sat in my room, answering my mother's call.

She just informed me that my soon to be step brother is on his way to watch over me while she's on her date.

I wanted to object to it, but the constant thunder claps got me so scared that I didn't say anything but agreed to it.

A few minutes later, I heard the sound of a car parking right outside my home.

That got me stepping out of my room, heading for the living room to know who it was.

That's when a knock came on the door.

"Is that him? "I asked, hurrying to answer the door.

The moment I opened it, I was left frozen by who I saw standing outside my home.

"De... Derek?"

Derek Hallman was standing outside my house, with his hair a bit wet and his clothes sprinkled with rain.

"Can I come in? " He asked, lifting his brows at me.

I felt my face flushing at his question. It's the first time he'd speak to me.

Feeling so excited, I opened the door widely for him to step in, welcoming him to my home.

"What are you doing here? Did your car break down?" I asked, trying to act all cool.

Derek looked at me and asked, " Didn't your mother tell you I'd be coming over."

"Huh? My mom?" I asked, looking confused.

That's when it struck me.

My crush is my stepbrother?

How come?!

"Unbelievable. So you didn't know I was coming over?" He scoffed, sitting on the couch.

I felt my whole world crumbling before my eyes while watching Derek put a call through his father, telling him he's with me.

How did our parents meet?

I thought people said his father hated women, that's why Derek hates girls?

This left me feeling awkward and sad about this new relationship between Derek and I.

"Gosh, this day just keeps getting worse for me."

I stared at Derek, who sat on the couch, attending to his phone.

He didn't look like someone who was ready to talk, and I would say it's because I'm a lady.

He hates ladies after all.

"I'll head to my room," I said to Derek, who didn't even look at me or utter a word.

I sadly turned around to leave, making my way to my room.

The moment I got to the door of my bedroom...

"Mirabel," I heard my name from behind.

It's Derek calling.

That sent shimmers into my heart, with my feet turning around just to find Derek standing before me.

"Was he following me?" I froze, staring at him.

There was silence brewing between us with the heavy rain pouring outside.

Slowly, Derek drew closer to me. My back came resting against the door, staring into his eyes.

His hand came cupping my face with his other hand taking hold of me by the waist, pulling me into his hold.

I gasped out, feeling my heart beating fast, with Derek's finger slowly trailing it's way to my mouth.

What's going on?

"I've always had my eyes on you." He whispered, slowly taking his hand to my back.

"I've been curious to know how you taste." His hands came caressing my lips softly.

The only thing I could hear in the dark was the rain, my beating heart, and our breathe.

Derek's face came closing the gap between us, as his lips that I've always dreamt of having, came locking with mine, kissing me passionately.

I felt my whole body vibrating on feeling his tongue tangling with mine.

Am I dreaming?

My questions were answered when Derek guided me into my room leading me into bed.

I was too engrossed in the kiss that I failed to stop him while he was taking off my clothes.

I've always wanted to have him in my hold. I've dreamt of this day with my crush, and it's finally happening.

Derek had my legs hanging on his shoulder, as he gave in a big push inside me, leaving me holding him tight and gasping out in shock.

"It's your first time? " He asked, looking into my eyes.

I couldn't utter a word but stare at him in embarrassment.

But Derek didn't care.

He had a curve spreading across his lips, as he rode me with pleasure, moaning into my ear.

My eyes came rolling back, wishing for this night to never end.
