Sophia POV.
I hate thunder storms, always had always will. Usually I'll sleep with my mother whenever there is one but now she's married, I can't go sleep between her and her new husband.
In time like those I wish I had a daddy, someone who would hug me and keep me safe. I went to bed dredging the night to come, every time the thunder will go I would scream, I tried to cover my mouth so I won't wake up my new brothers.
I even left the light on since I hated the dark too, around midnight I heard a knock but knew I was imagining, no one would come to my roon at night. I closed my eyes and tried not to imagine the serial killer coming to end me when I heard my name being called and I screamed scared.
It wasn't a serial killer, it was my brother, how embarrassing is it, to have your new step-brother find out what a scarry cat i am.
Instead he made me move so he can sleep next to me, I had Mr. sparkle in my arms, he'll be scared to sleep alone too. I tried to keep him hidden but Victor pulled him up into my arms and told me to sleep.
I never slept next to a guy before, the only time i actually hugged a guy was with my new step-brothers. I loved how they were all more buff then me and could hide the whole of me in their bear hugs.
But sleeping next to Victor felt different, I felt safe and very little next to him. I felt my thumb move up to my mouth and i began to suck on it, a habbit of mine while in little space.
I fell asleep with him there keeping me safe from the thunder. I didn't know how weird it would be to make your step-brother sleep next to you while you sucked on your thumb and hugged your teddy until the morning.
He was simply smiling down at me while I blushed as red as a tomato. I removed my thumb from my mouth right away embarrassed as hell now.
"Good morning princess" he says still smiling, was he making fun of me.
"Uhh.. ehm... morning Victor" I say not knowing what to do now.
"Come on get up or we'll be late for school" he says before leaving the room and leaving me to get ready.
I ran out of the bed and got dressed in a new record, I need to speak with my mom, right away.
I ran up toward her room only to hear the voice of my other step-brother scolding me.
"Don't run on the stairs Sophia" came Alvin voice.
I slowed down not wanting another remark, his scolding and yesterday events made me want to be my little self even more.
I knock on the door before going in, not wanting to see anything I shouldn't. I hear the word come in and get in running, mum was still in bed, i jump on top of the bed and go hug her.
"Shh what's wrong baby girl?" she asks moving my hair out of my face.
I didn't know i was crying until she wipped my tears away. Why was I crying, I was just, confused and had to let it out.
"Now tell mama what's wrong" she ask in a voice she knew i couldn't say no to.
"Last night there was thunder" I tell her and her face soften, she knew i hate it.
"I'm sorry baby, I left you alone" she says in a sad voice.
"I wasn't alone, uhh... victor slept next to me last night" I say blushing.
"AhhI see..." Mum says.
"Mum, I... it's.... ahhh" I say lost for word.
"Shh it's okay, you're a big girl now and all" she says smiling.
Why is she so okay with that!! And what the hell, Eww.
"Mum he's my brother" I say disgusted, or at least faking it, just a little bit.
"Step brother" she correct me with a wink.
"Aren't you supposed to tell me no?" I ask in disbelief to what i just heard.
She just laugh and shrug, she knew something i didn't. And i know from experience she won't tell me until she's ready.
I was going to demand more answers when the door to their bathroom opened and my step dad stepped out in just his pyjama bottom, his chest was on full display and i saw the different tattoo he had there.
But the one that interested me the most was the name of my mother right over his heart.
Anna was written in black ink, it was readable from even far away, I didn't know if that was cute or too much.
"Like what you see little girl?" Fred ask and i look away embarrassed.
"I never saw so many tattoos, mum never allowed me to have any" I say in a whining voice.
"Well then when you are old enough I'll take you to have one" he says with a laugh.
That was enough embarrassment for one day for me, I skipped out of their room and into the kitchen. We had our breakfast and Victor offered me another ride on his motorcycle, it was too fun to say no to.
When we made it to the school I saw my new friend Niti in the parking lot, she saw who i was riding with and had the biggest smile on her face.
"So you and Victor?" she says the second we move away from the guys.
"He's my brother" I say in disbelief.
"Step brother" Niti reply saying the same words of my mother this morning.
"I can't fall in love with my step brother" I say trying to get away from the topic.
"Sure you can, at least he won't have to climb to your window at night" she says laughing
I look at her in disbelief before i break into laughter too, well she's right all he have to do is walk through the door.
