I was pissed. Period.

Try being gay. You would know the feeling. And right now I am pissed off at the seriously, weirdly getting lovey dovey siblings. While I try to enjoy my stupid lamb. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid freaking lamb!!

I glared at them as I chewed on the meat which had no taste or salt. Who was the chef?? Some Ape man?? Just burn it to death and let the others chew it. I rolled my eyes as Damian gave a small tomato from his plate as Diana pleaded to give it to him. When did the night became Sibling loving night?? Oh I nearly forgot the little bitch is horny after him.

" Is something wrong with your meat, Edgar?" she asked pointing her fork at me.

I glared at her and said, " It's Ethan and my meat is fine, Thank you."

" I am sorry for mistaking your name like that. it's kind of not a catchy name." She said as she continued eating her little salad.

" Diana-.." Damian began but I had enough. I bear it for two hours and now it's freaking enough. I got up and threw that lap napkin on the table and walked out of the restaurant in my way. Not a five star restaurant rich spoilt brat way.

Fuck tuxedo! Fuck relationship!

What was I thinking? When did I turn so........ gayish??!

I muttered as I walked really quickly towards the stupid huge gate of the restaurant.

I can't believe I was out there trying to have relationship. I sighed as I walked down the road which was kind of deserted. My phone vibrated and my first guess was Damian but it was dad. I opened my phone and grumbled, " What?"

" Ethan, where are you?" he asked.

" Don't worry I am coming home." I said to him quickly. He was shuffling some things which indicated he was in the kitchen.

" I need you home right now I have some work outside, come home right now Cecily is alone."

" Work outside? You got a job!" I exclaimed.

" Yeah uhh.. night..shift. Cecily is alone and I have microwaved the meatballs and some mashed potatoes. Ethan be home okay?" he said as he hurried off. I rolled my eyes and put off my phone.

The next thing I remember is roar of engine, screeching tires burning and flash of headlights. I looked at the road to see Damian's car stopped right beside me.

" Go away." I said as I walked forward. I had only walked for ten seconds that he grabbed me by the back collar and pulled me towards him. I swung my fist towards him but he dodged it easily and grabbed my waist. " For godsake Ethan, get in the car" He shouted as he shoved me inside the car. I crossed my arm and uttered quietly as he got in the car.

The car started and went towards the direction of my house. Fucking stalker!

"Stop the car, asswipe!" I muttered.

" Ethan, stop acting childishly." He growled as I refused to talk with him.

" I said stop the car and let me out." I growled back but he was a stubborn ass.

Period.

" I am sorry, she mocked you. she has been very...... intimidating even when she was little. I am sorry, seriously." He said as he drove without looking at me.

" You don't have to be sorry. No one has to be sorry here. Just I don't like your 'sister' from now onwards." I said.

" Okay why are you air quoting sister?" he asked.

" You don't know how she gets on my nerves, not my job to tell you anything though." I grumbled.

" I think you are talking about the crush she has on me." He said looking at me. I whipped my head so fast at him that I was afraid I would break my neck.

" You- You know about that psychotic love your sister has for you???' I shouted and he chuckled.

" Seriously Ethan we can't blame her. She is my step sister. She obviously would have feelings for me. We are not blood related sibling so the attraction wouldn't be surprisingly." He said as if it was nothing serious.

" You knew about that and you kept quiet about it?" I asked. He shrugged and said, " She will get off the infatuation when she knows now I am batting for other team. She has been trying to make me like her the day she came with step mom. First it was quite funny, then cute and then a little bit scary."

" Scary?" I asked gulping.

" One of my high school girlfriends had some argument about the same thing and she called Diana 'Freak' and next day Diana burned the girl's car in front of the school. No one was hurt though. Many guys had a laugh too." He said in his normal tone.

" You ass, she is dangerous. She is going to kill me, this is sick. And that girl is right. She is freak."

" Hey, she is my sister. I will talk with her about this, tell her you are not one of the people I have dated. You are special." He looked at me as I did. He stopped the car and touched my cheek, caressing slowly.

" I am not lying, you are special." He whispered as he kissed my cheeks.

" Damian-"

" I am not blind, Ethan.. I know you are new to relationships and on top of that an older guy. A guy actually. But I am willing to go slowly with you until and unless you are in it, willing to try. I like you a lot, Ethan. I am serious about it." He said as he moved forward to kiss me. I opened my mouth to say something that I remembered Cecily.

" OH SHIT!!!" I shouted that Damian bumped his head on the ceiling of the car.

" Oww.." he mumbled as he rubbed his head, I laughed as he settled down rubbing it gently.

" Oh god, sorry!" I said laughing and rubbing his head for him. I started laughing hard and fell on the seat to control myself.

" I am sorry. Shit, hahahahaha!" I blubbered as he glared at me starting the engine.

" Whatever.." he mumbled and drove. I looked at him and smiled. He just snorted.

The drive was a little bit awkward but something I could handle. I sighed as I scratched my head and rolled my eyes.

" I am willing." I finally said.

" And?"

I looked at him to see a huge smirk on his face. I narrowed my eyes and said, " You are having fun aren't ya?"

" Just going with the flow." He said with a wink.

" And...... I l-l-l-l-l-l-lik-e-e y-y-o-o-u.. t-oo....." I said with a whole lot of difficulty. Man! Fighting with Matthew was easier than doing this.

He stopped the car and suddenly kissed me. I just stared at him with wide eyes and let him kiss me.

The kiss lasted for just a second. He kissed my forehead and let me go.

" Good night, Ethan."

" Good night, pervert." He laughed as I got off the car. The night had gone chilly and cold.

Suddenly he got off and dragged me towards my door.

" Open the door." He said. Huh?

" What?! You go home. I go home too remember?" I said.

" I am your boyfriend, I have a right to go inside."

" Not at this hour, asshole. Don't you have your sister to drive away??" I said. He shrugged.

" I got her in taxi and made her go home." He said trying to get the knob.

" Oh! That's sweet. Now get your ass home!! We just said our goodnights." I said.

" I take it back."

" Fuck yourself!!" I snarled.

" I prefer you, actually. Now let me in." He said with a calm tone.

" You-.."

" Ethaan, Is that you???" I heard Cecily scream.

I reluctantly opened my door and saw my three, going four year old sister in her pajamas staring at us.

" Hungry..." she said groggily. Then she came to me and held my hand.

" Ethan, who is he?" she asked.

We both looked at each other and Damian took the chance. Fucking shit!! I wanted to slam my head on the wall nearby.

" I am Damian Steel.." He replied.

She thought for a while then jumped in realization.

" Football?!!" she squeaked holding my hand.

" Yes..." he said with a heart melting smile. She stared at him still confused why was he here.

Damian cleared his throat .

" I heard there was my No. 1 fan in this town. I wanted to meet that fan and that happens to be you." he said as he went in to shake hands. Cecily shook and shrugged.

" I don't like Football but Dad watches and he likes you a lot!!" she said. Damian laughed and said, " I am sorry. I mistook you as my fan. I would really like to meet your dad."

" Daddy's working.....Ethan, I am hungry." She said.

" It's okay.. my fault. I was late. I will make some mac and cheese to go with Meatballs huh? How about that?" I said.

Cecily smiled and said, " Okay!!" she ran and started to turn on the TV. I smiled as I closed the door.

" What the hell? Would you go now?!!" I harshly whispered. He rolled his eyes.

" She likes me, your dad likes me. I think so there is no problem." He said settling in the couch.

I just randomly swung my fist in the air in frustration and gritted my teeth trying not to scream. This guy was making me kill him and kiss him at the same time but I am rooting for the first option.

" This is the first time I have entered your house from the front door." He said making himself comfortable on the couch. I rolled my eyes and ignored him to make some dinner for Cecily.

The Mac and Cheese was done in some minutes and meatballs were ready to be eaten. I was just reheating the leftover pasta for me that I felt a pair of arms snaking at my waist.

Startled, I looked back to see smirking Damian which made it really hard to get mad at.

I couldn't help but smile as he breathed over my neck and chuckled.

" That's not for you and you shouldn't be eating that." I said as he took a meatball in his mouth and moaned as he chewed on like a three year old.

" I think you are wrong and this is really good." He said as he took out the meatballs at the table. Cecily ran with her teddy bear at her seat smiling to delight. A celebrity was eating with her, any child could be happy. And for her age she was a little bit matured.

She babbled with Damian like she had known him for years. It was nice to see Cecily laughing, enjoying once in a while. I smiled at Cecily as she talked about her Day care. Surprisingly Damian was listening very attentively to Cecily which made the meatballs all forgotten.

For once I felt light. Without any burden.

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

I slowly closed Cecily's door after turning off the light. It took some minutes to put her to sleep. I went downstairs to find Damian looking at our family photograph. I walked up to him slowly not to disturb his concentration.

" Is she your mother?" he asked suddenly making me blink in suprise.

" Ummm.... Yeah..." I answered in a low voice. He eyed me smirking as he put down the photo frame.

" Is she?" he asked.

" More like 'was'. She died four years ago. She got cancer so...." I trailed off. His eyes went wide and blinked twice or more.

" Oh!" he said after a sudden silent. " I am sorry..."

" It's okay." I said as I settled myself on the couch. He plopped down beside me and stared at the table in front of him.

" I am sorry, Ethan. I just... wow!" He said and chuckled.

" What's so funny?" I asked a little irritated at his behaviour.

" I guess we both are motherless huh?" he said with a very sad smile.

" You have mother!" I said.

" Step mother is kind of different." He said as he put his arms around me. I didn't resist, it was calming my nerves in a way and I welcomed it.

" Your mother.." I said but he spoke like he read my mind.

" She died when she gave birth to my brother, Daniel. He is my small brother, same age as Diana. Dad doesn't talk with him much. Daniel thinks dad hates him but I think he is just scared to look at his small son because he would remind my dad about mom. Daniel looks like her... well in a manly way." He said and smiled at me as if telling me to tell my story.

" She had leukemia and she had it after she gave birth to Cecily. We hadn't known until dad noticed some bruise on her shoulder. thank God, Cecily didn't get cancer. We all thank that. She died even after chemo, the end." I said and sighed deeply making Damian worry.

" I think so you need to rest now." He said as he kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes trying to savour that kiss. Sometimes he is just so caring thoughtful and loving making me feel things I never felt.

" I need to go. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the team and we are flying to New York. Coach's order." He said as he got up.

" Again?" I said ignoring the fact I would miss him. A lot.

He smiled sadly and pecked my lips. He nodded.

We went to the door. Before he opened the door, he turned towards me and said, " Ethan, I am not giving up on you. this bond, this relationship is new to me too. Just there is something about you that doesn't make me give up on you. I like you... for real. Okay?"

I blushed and nodded slowly. He smiled and kissed me deeply.

" Goodnight." We said together and chuckled lightly. He opened the door and-

" Ethan, what a good timing-.." he stopped as he saw Damian standing in front of him. His mouth hung open.

My eyes went wide and my mouth dry.

Dad!!

" Dad!! Umm you are early!! Come on-."

" Is it.."

" Dad-.."

" Damian Steel..."

Damian gave a nervous smile. Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

" Dad, Calm down....."

" DAMIAN STEEL!! IN MY HOUSE!! AT THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!! TALK ABOUT GETTING LUCKY!!!!" my dad screamed unusually making both me and Damian cringe.

" Am I dreaming??!! Is it you!!" he said in his panic mode. Damian gave a nervous chuckle and shrugged.

" Same old!" he replied and to that dad hugged him! Tightly!

" Oh god, you were listening!!" he said as he squeezed the juice out of my boyfriend. Boyfriend?!

Oh shit.

I stared at Damian who was staring back at me. I guess he had the same expression I had right then.

Panicked.

Shocked.

Scared.

Gulp!!
