My Stepbrother-Too Hot To Handle

DAMIEN:

“Bryan! Are you out of your mind?! Were you going to kill her?!” I demanded from Bryan the moment I dragged him away from the scene into an empty laboratory. Xavier too followed, and kicked the door behind us.

“Are you defending that bitch?! You defending that little kitty because I was trying to defend you? Are you fucking her?” Bryan tried to play the victim, and demanded answers to the questions that he was asking me in a very rude manner.

“And what if I was? Defending me or not, you were going to kill her if I had arrived minutes later. Did you see the way those students were gathered round to look at you?” I fretted, and Xavier was just telling me to calm down. He was the most gentle of us all, and I was closer to him.

“So you want to mess your guy because of your fuck buddy? Is that how is it now?!” Bryan yelled aggressively again, and tried to come at me in anger.

We never had any reason to argue in the past till the point of physical fighting, so he didn’t know what I could do and what I couldn’t. He was the fighter in our group, and most violent too.

He came at me immediately, and I dodged his every hit thinking it was still a simple brawl. When I realized that he wanted to hit me hard on the face, I dodged it immediately and drove a punch into his stomach. He looked like he was going crazy already.

Shocked at how I had defended myself against his aggressive behavior, I took the avenue to turn him over my head and slam him hard to the ground. The manner at which his back hit the floor almost broke his spine, and he screamed out loud.

“Do not mess with me, Bryan. You definitely do not know what I am capable of,” I warned icily.

“You guys should calm down!” Xavier yelled fearfully when he saw how things had quickly escalated, but was still certainly shocked to see me face Bryan in one goal.

“The fact is that you are mentally unstable, because of the drugs you are taking and are acting aggressively. You need help!” I yelled at Bryan’s face, and he tried to get up painfully. He had calmed down a bit, and seemed to be in his right senses.

“I told you that I am not!” He denied instantly, which made Xavier’s eyebrow furrow in surprise.

“You wanna lie after I saw this in your coat?” Xavier chimed in and raised the white powdered substance, that was neatly wrapped in a small packages transparent nylon.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Shit!” Bryan muttered, after he realized that he had led his guards down and had been caught. He tried to take it away from Xavier, who threw it to the floor immediately.

“If you do not quit and start getting clean. Then we are not going to be friends with you anymore,” I portended, and turned to leave immediately after casting an angry look at him. I was terribly disappointed.

“I didn’t know you could fight. Holy moly, that is a new discovery,” Xavier expressed his surprise immediately we got to the door, and I grinned.

“I learned martial arts in the past,” I responded, and pushed the door open.

“There is so much to know about you,” Xavier mouthed.

As I and Xavier walked out of the laboratory together, he brought out his phone to check something and laughed out loud. He passed the phone to me, and it was comments about I and Dabby.

‘I cannot believe he helped her in front of everyone.’

‘There is certainly something going on between them.’

‘They even come to school together and pretend to part ways when the…….,.’

“What happened to the comments?” I asked Xavier immediately I was about to read the next one, and everything wiped off at once.

“Oh. Someone keeps blocking every comments made every ten minutes. Anyone that posts any hate comment is restricted immediately,” Xavier explained to me, and I huffed after passing his phone back to him.

‘Dabby sure had many people looking out for her.’

We were about to enter our class again, when Xavier halted in his steps and taller me immediately. He showed me what was before the screen, and I read it almost three times to be sure that I had not seen wrongly.

‘Dabby was dating her friend?’

“Congratulations, dear Dabby’s ex. Your fake girlfriend has been dating all these while,” Xavier sassed so irritatingly to taunt me.

~~“~~

It became the news in school, that that Dabby and her friend whom I just found out his name were dating. The next day in school was even worse, and it was what most people were talking about.

I knew that it was none of my concern if Dabby was dating and that I was in no position to doubt its validity. I was suddenly feeling some kind of looking out for her entitlement, like I had to confirm if she was lying or not.

I was suddenly angry to know that she was dating her friend. And it scared me again that they could be telling each other secrets.

Class periods were boring, and it was the second time that I was finding it hard to concentrate that badly in class. I couldn’t hear anything from what the teacher was saying, and it felt like my head was in a space.

All I could hear around was statements about how Dabby had crazy skills even as a nerd. Something in me couldn’t take it again, and I dialed her phone number which I got from our report paper immediately.

When she picked up, she was shocked to know that it was I calling, and it seemed like she had my phone number already. I asked to met her during lunch break at the school garden, and she stuttered fearly, “You said never to cross your parts again.”

“Well I am telling you to cross it now, dummy!” I yelled through the phone, and the people around me flinched as they wondered what was going on.

Immediately it was lunch break, I left the class immediately to where I told her to meet, and i didn’t have to wait for so long before she walked to where I was standing. She was twisting her fingers in and out of each other in nervousness.

“Are you dating that blockhead friend of yours for real?” I asked her immediately she stood in front of me, and she raised her eyes to meet my immediately because she was not expecting the question.

Looking at her without glasses looked so different, and she looked so surreal with just lens on.

“….. Yes,” she stuttered, and a grin tugged my lips immediately.

“You are lying. It is just a show!” I concluded immediately, while trying to use words to push her to say what I wanted to hear. She looked like she was not trying not to breathe out loudly.

“No, it is not!” I heard that annoying vouce answer for her from behind, and I groaned in anger immediately.

“I didn’t tell him. I swear,” she articulated.

He appeared before both of us, and they were wearing matching shirt and trouser. That was when I realized that the matching cloth combination they were both wearing, was the reason why they are the talk of the school. He walked to where she was and locked hands with her instantly.

“We are dating, and why does that bother you?!” He demanded very rudely, and he was driving me bonkers already.

“I know that you are not dating, and that is a fact!” I almost yelled at his face.

“We are dating, and that is it. Stay off my girlfriend’s face or else we would have it really tough. If I see you or your friends bullying her again, then it is really over for you,” he threatened fiercely, but I didn’t even care about the threat. All I cared about was Dabby not dating him.

“Prove that you are dating, and I would back off. From everything I have said! And I would keep my friends away from her too,” I suddenly got desperate, wondering what they could even use to prove to me that they were not dating. I just wanted them to be wrong.

And suddenly Mason turned to Dabby and gave her some kind of look, as he looked a bit nervous. Next thing I saw was Mason’s head bending slowly, as he kissed Dabby slightly on the lips. It nearly drove me crazy.

“Now, I have your word. One more disturbance from you to her, and it is over. I’m breaking your fucking head, I swear,” Mason threatened, and grabbed Dabby by the hand away from my sight. And I couldn’t explain it, but my heart writhed at what I had just witnessed. I didn’t like it at all.

‘It couldn’t be.’
