So at the wrong time.
Chapter Three
Zac
Sky pushes with her palms to move me away. Of course it doesn't help, but I take a step back nevertheless.
I don't want our parents to see us fighting. My father already suspects that I have an unhealthy addiction to my stepsister. Sky's mom, Crystal, she is...well, in short, I don't want to make her upset. She's the kindest human I know.
At first, when my father met Crystal and told me he was getting married, knowing the woman only for a couple of weeks, I got furious. I suggested that she was just another gold digger who trapped him in her web. But after I met her in person, I realized that she's not just the best wife for my father, she's too good for him.
And then I met her daughter, and it became clear to me that we're both stuck with these women forever.
The door opens, and our parents' faces express surprise at seeing us both in the hallway and standing next to each other.
"Hi, guys." Crystal smiles with delight. "Have you been hanging out after school?"
I take a look at Sky's terrified face; she's fighting with herself, trying to decide whether to tell them about her date or not.
"Yeah, we went to the movies," I lie, giving one of my most charming smiles, and hug Sky by the shoulders to show our parents how close we are.
I know she won't push me away when they are watching. She’s as committed to playing this game that we're friends as much as I am.
"That's great, so you must be in a mood for good news," my father says, taking his wife's hand in his palm with a smile.
"Why? What happened?" Sky asks, looking at them in surprise.
I feel her tense under my touch, so I squeeze her shoulder a little.
The last time they told us great news was when they decided to live together. Sky was terrified that we were gonna live under one roof. I knew she was afraid of me, of us. I'm sure she felt the same attraction as I did the first day we met, and it scared the hell out of her.
As for me...I just realized that this girl is mine, now and forever, until death tears us apart.
Now it's time for Sky to accept this.
I hope this time they'll tell us they're expecting another child. Of course, that would complicate everything, but, from the other side, that would distract their attention from us, and I could put my plan with Sky into action.
"We're finally ready to go on our honeymoon!" Crystal exclaims, smiling widely, obviously overjoyed.
"What?" Sky exclaims, and I feel her start to shake a little.
I press her closer to me, trying to calm her down, and she doesn't even resist.
Bingo.
This news is even better than I possibly could've imagined.
I’d almost lost hope they were ever going on a honeymoon. My father is a very busy man, and Crystal is his right hand—that's why she works just as hard. After the wedding, they said that they’d decided to wait to go on vacation until after we finished school and went to college.
"Yes, honey, aren't you excited?" Crystal asks, talking to her daughter, and her smile becomes less joyful.
No, please, do not change your mind.
"We discussed everything and decided that you're both old enough to leave for a couple of weeks without our supervision," my dad says, looking at me, trying to make me understand that he forbids any parties.
The last time they left for a two-day work trip, I threw a massive party for a hundred guests. I was hoping that Sky would relax, drink a little and get tipsy, and I could tell her about my feelings.
As it turned out, this girl doesn't drink. She locked the door of her room during the whole party while I got drunk and passed out with two cheerleaders, and now Sky thinks that I slept with them both that night. The next morning she went to school without even waiting for me.
