Chapter 10

Erica POV

I woke up with a terrible headache, lying next to me was Sophia covered up in duvet, she was sound asleep.

How did she get into my bed I wondered. As I tried getting up, I discovered I was naked and there was a used condom on the floor.

OMG!!!

What have I done, how did I let myself sleep with my step sister, I tiptoed into the bathroom just to avoid her seeing my nakedness.

It just felt awkward

I sat on the sofa, using my hand to support my head from the terrible headache that was almost splitting my head apart. I was still trying to get my head around what happened, I just couldn't bring myself to understand why Sophia is lying next to me.

I am not a heavy drinker, I stay with in my limits of taking a glass or two.

Just then the bedroom door opened and Sophia walked straight to me and attempted to kiss me but I turned my face away.

"How did this happen?" I asked trying to figure out I can't even remember a thing from the previous night.

"how did what happen?" She said acting like whatever I felt happen was a normal thing.

"What happened last night?" I asked while i watched her frown a surprise look at my question.

"you don't remember?" She asked, I was getting of this all back and front questions for questions already

"If I did, I wont be asking will I?" I answered, unable to hid the anger I was feeling, she turned her face away before she answered.

"You came back looking down so I asked that we share a drink. After some time, I told you I was leaving, but you pleaded with me to stay back.

That you will sleep in the sitting room, while I sleep in the bedroom. I was asleep when I felt your hands around me, I tried stopping you but you were having none of it.

I cried and pleaded with you, I even tried fighting and pushing you off, but you were too strong for me to handle, you said you loved me and that you have always had. She said tears evident in her tune.

"the last thing I remember was taking a mug from you, every other thing is just blurry. But God I wish you tried harder" I said, with my voice filled with uncertainty and regrets.

"But I tried, you were having none of it" She said crying. I hate to see tears, I can't stand to see a woman cry, I had seen enough with my mother.

My mum thought flashed through my mind. Dad abandoned her when she was pregnant with me because she was not up to his family status. She suffered so much trying to raise me on her own.

Just then I also thought of Erica, I know no matter what I think I feel for her, my dad will never accept her.

"What do we do now?" I asked directing my question to Sophia.

"I don't know," she shuddered,

"what do you want?" I asked,

"I want you" she said in a low tune.

"but its wrong Sophia, what if your mum and my dad finds out," I said, trying to make her see reason that what she wants is just not possible.

"They don't have to know" she replied.

I was confused, with so many thoughts rushing through my head, I know biologically Sophia and I are not related, but I still see her as a sister.

I don't even see myself been attracted to her. I hate the fact that I forced myself on her, and I know she she must be hurting badly.

There is another person that would more hurt from all of these and that is Erica. I just find myself unapologetically attracted to her. How do I handle two women that means a lot to me without having to hurt one.

"it wont work Sophia, I cant date you for heavens sake. please try to understand, its not right" I said wishing whatever happened never happened. she started crying, I went around her and pleaded with her.

"Please forgive me, I really wish I can take back all that happened last night." I said as I drew her her closer to me.

"Come on, please stop crying, Go clean up so we can head for class." I told her calmly as I watched her reluctantly walk back into the room. I sank back into the chair I was sitting wondering how I got myself into the mess I'm in.

***************

Erica's POV

I woke up early to get ready for class, I tried to shoved aside last night encounter with Damian. The mere thought of it made me blush unnecessary. Sophia was yet to return, so I got dressed and left for class.

I was only a few minutes away from my class when I heard someone call me, I turned and saw it was Jeffrey.

I sighed and kept moving. Jeffrey has been on my case for some time now, he has been asking me out on a date.

"Good morning Erica", he said running after me.

"Good morning Jeffrey" I said nonchalantly while I continued walking.

"Hey just hold on a second," he said trying to meet up with me, I stopped.

"What do you want?" I asked trying to his the fact that I was getting irritated from all his bugging.

"Can we have lunch together this afternoon?" he asked with a pleading eye.

"Jeffrey please I have told you severally I don't want to go out with you." I said trying to sound as calm as possible so the message sink into his thick skull.

"But you have never given a reason why you are refusing me." He said searching my eyes.

Truthfully I don't even know I was refusing to date him, he is calm, has good looks and a year or two my senior. Jeffrey is a nice person and also very intelligent.

I guess its because I am not attracted to you. I said, surprised at how outrageously blunt that sounded.

I looked him feeling disappointed, as I was about walking away, I saw Damian with Sophia discussing and they seem to be enjoying whatever they were doing because Sophia was

giggling.

"On a second thought" I said talking to Jeffrey, "I will join you for lunch" I said, as I watched him brightens up.

I did not just do that

"thanks" he said beaming with smiles.

"hug?" I asked, he looked surprised as he open his hands for me to hug him tight, I stayed there for a moment. as I loosen my grip I discovered Sophia and Damian were already close to us. Damian set his gaze upon me which made me twitch.

Erica!!! Sophia screamed in all her drama element when she saw me .

"What are you doing here" she asked as if I was zapped in from an outer space to live with humans

"I am on my way to class" I said.

"and who is this" she said referring to Jeffrey.

"he is my boyfriend," that kinda took Damian and Jeffrey by surprise "wow he is cute" Damien faked a cough,sorry for my manners, this is my step brother, Damien

Nice to meet you Damien, I said trying to avoid his eyes.

"Same here, have we met before?" he asked, which made me gasped.

"No I don't think so, its a big school and there are many lookalikes" I said hoping he does not ask me questions to put me in a more awkward position.

"How long have you guys been dating?"

Damian asked with his eye scanning every bit of my body, I felt weak, as all emotions rushed through my veins. I heard Jeffrey mumble something probably answering his question, and before he could say another word I quickly excused myself.

"sorry guys, I really need to be in class now, bye roommate, nice to meet you Damian" I said dragging Jeffrey along.

I can't believe I'm using poor Jeffrey to get Damian jealous.

That's so mean Erica!

***†***†****†****†****†****†***†****

Jeffrey and I have barely sat for five minutes when Damian came in with his friend Lucas. Same guy I met at his place. He sat down on the table directing facing our table.

So cliché and childish

The waiter came for our order, I ordered coffee while Jeffrey also made his own order. Jeffrey kept mumbling some sweet nonsense I was not really paying attention to, but pretended to be enjoying his company a lot.

moments later Jeffrey excused himself to go use the restroom.

Damian was able to see me clearly as he devours my entire body with his eyes. I could feel my panties soak from my own arousal.

I just pretended not to be affected by his presence either way.

Just then, Jeffrey came back and as soon as I let him sit down, I quickly excused myself. I hurried off to use the ladies room, I let out a deep sigh immediately I entered the ladies bathroom.

Seconds later, I felt a hand pull me over. It was Damian, he held on tight on me as I struggle to break free.

"what are you doing?" he asked, as I try to fight him off. his breath and cologne tickled my fancy.

"Please let me go, someone might see us" I said as I struggle with him.

"Do I look like I care" he sorted back.

What are you doing with that guy? Are you trying to make me jealous, because if you are, I am going to punish you for that" he said seductively, his voice sending me multiples waves all over my essence.

"he is my boyfriend" I said still trying to get free from his strong hold. God his grip is so strong.

"Who am I to you?" he asked teasing me with his breath.

"step brother to my roommate" I said.

"do you go around kissing all your roommates siblings?" he asked turned me to face him while my back was against the wall. he pushed my ass towards himself till I could his little junior hardened.

"you are mine Erica" he said as he sniff in my scent, his touch made me weak and I did not want him to stop.

He took my lips and kissed them passionately, I moan a little as he cupped one of my breast in his hand and kneaded on it gently.

"I belong to someone else" I heard myself say as I watched his eyes turned dark.

"Stay away from him if you don't want to see him get into trouble." He growled.

"Why should I do what you say? you are not my boyfriend, and nothing gives you the right to tell me who I should or shouldn't mingle with." I said and was about leaving when he pulled me back.

"I am sorry" he said.

I freed myself from him and went back into the cafeteria. I sat down on my chair, as Jeffrey gave me a concern look.

"Are you alright?" Jeffrey asked.

"I am fine, just had an unexpected visitor" I said as I watched him stare at me, confusion written all over him.

"monthly visitor" I quickly added.

Liar, pants on fire!

"so sorry about that" Jeffrey said smiling and I saw his cheeks heat up a bit.

"Anything I can do to help? He asked after some time. I almost said no but when I saw Damian looking at us.

"Yes you can Start by placing a kiss on my forehead" I said as I kept a steady eye contact with Damian. Jeffrey stood and kissed me on my forehead.

"that feels so much better" I said smiling as I looked to see Damian looking angry and just then he stood and walked out, with his friend following him.

What is wrong with me?

*****†*******†*****†******†*****†****

Damien's POV

I came back to my room in the evening still angry at Erica. I was so confused. What is it about this girl that I can't let go.

I thought I had it under control, but when I saw her with Jeffrey I became so angry, more like I was jealous,but how can I be jealous for someone who is not mine.

I picked up my phone to call Sophia, but stop half way, I decided to use the excuse of visiting to check on Erica.

I got to the room and knocked on the door, Sophia opened the door with a sleepy eye as I followed her in.

"how are you?" I asked while stylishly searching for Erica.

"I was sleeping before you came, but I am good now." She said. She looked on her revealing boom short and spaghetti top. Her hair was messed from sleep.

"What about your roommate? "I can't see her around" I said after deciding she was not around.

"yeah I don't think she is back from lectures, perhaps she followed boyfriend to his hostel." She said tiredly. Imagining her in Jeffrey hands made me made jealous.

I was furious, I thought of going to get her from there, but what excuse should I use.

"I'm cold" Sophia said, her voice broke into my thoughts.

"I need a little cuddling" and before I resist she had her hands wrapped over me.

"Sophia please stop" I said trying to loosen her hold on me.

"don't get any funny ideas, I just want cuddle not sex" so I allowed her for a few moment, since I also was using the time to wait for her roommate to come from where ever she went.

After some time, I asked that she let me go so I can return to my apartment. she refused and attempted to kiss me.

At same moment the door opened and Erica froze on her track. can this day get any worst as I quickly loosen Sophia hold on me and hurried out of the room.

Erica POV

I was to stay with Beatrice in their room after lectures, I needed to distract myself by Gossiping and fixing a couple of assignments in Beatrice room.

I had so much on my mind, the fact that I am indecisive about Jeffrey intentions and my uncontrollable attraction towards Damian. when I noticed she was already sleepy, I left her and headed to my room

on getting to the door, I noticed the door was not locked, I opened the door and saw Sophia and Damian cuddling and kissing.

I was dumfounded, I have been suspecting them, but getting to actually see them together is a sight I was not prepared to behold.

I would have turned back instantly, but I needed my beauty sleep, I could see that uneasiness on their faces as he hurries off the room. I entered the room and went straight to bed. .

What a fool I was thinking he is a decent person, that he even cared for me.

Stupid, idiot, sister fucker.
