Alex: So we meet at the art gallery right?
Mason: Of course *hugs tightly*
Justin: *smirks at Alex* Hey Juliet want to hang out afterwords? *pulls her in and kisses her deeply*
Juliet: *giggles* Depends on what you mean by hang out...
Alex: *glares* Oh please just do the disclaimer. I'd like to keep my lunch.
Me: *sigh* I do not own WOWP...I wish I did though ^^
Diner was the same as always with Harper and Zeke playing up the whole couple scene on the opposite side of the table. I couldn't help but smile at them. Harper used to follow Justin like a blind puppy dog during the first, second, and third encounters that I had with him. I couldn't help but tell her it would never work out because, well, he had me. Of course she didn't know that we'd kissed or had any type of a relationship other than our brother and sister one but not many people knew about that.
That changed when Mason showed up, that day in art class was the happiest I had been. He was so charming and care free after I found out he was a werewolf that made things easier, I wouldn't have to hide from him like I did with other guys. I didn't have to hide from Justin either but that was different. Both relationships were different. As I looked at Harper and Zeke I couldn't help but wonder why I couldn't have that. The happiness that they had would never be mine. Not with any guy in the world.
I felt Justin's hand on my thigh slowly stroking the small area of exposed skin my skirt and knee highs didn't cover. "Maybe with him….." and then Mom opened the door and Mason walked in. Justin only tightened his grip but I managed to get up and greet Mason. I could feel Justin glaring at us but he couldn't really do anything at the moment.
"Hey, Alex, the new art gallery just opened across the street from Juliet's substation….would you like to go with me? I'd figure I'd make it up to you for our little escapade in the rain two days ago." He said in his accent ending the phrase with his signature smile. My parents and Harper were watching what was I supposed to say?"Sure, sounds like fun. Maybe Justin can come with Juliet." I said hopefully.
I looked at Justin who smiled in agreement remembering he even had a girlfriend at all. I feel sorry for Juliet. The beautiful blonde vampire had no clue who she had fallen for. Justin wasn't the dork he used to be but he was a decent actor when it came to our friends and family. He was especially good at hiding it from Juliet. I think the only reason he kept her around after the first time was because I couldn't say good bye to Mason. I admit that whenever I catch them kissing or flirting the way they do I get a tad jealous….I hide it with my usual "that's so gross' façade. No one thinks of it because I'm like that all the time but Justin knows.
He knows my weaknesses and I used to know his but know…..my brother is my lover and he's no longer the same person. I can't say I want to go back to our sibling banters because I really like our kisses and caresses better. I'm a sick person. I'm a liar too. What's worse is that I want Mason just as much and all I can do is stand here in front of him and lie while he looks at me with loving eyes and wraps me in his embrace just to say "I can't wait to see you there." When he leaves I run up to my room skipping diner all together.
I can't take the guilt, I have to end it. I've tried but I'm so weak. If only I could find out what changed Justin, if only I could rewind to our first kiss, if only I could say no. If only I hadn't fallen in love with the foreign exchange student at the same time I had fallen for my older brother.
