Mom sent out the self portraits to the modeling agency as soon as she finished two days ago and till now we haven't heard from them. Well, too much for modeling and she wasted good shots of me too...

I was eating breakfast in peace until Tristan walked in the room. Ah great. I don't have a problem with him as much as I did but I don't want to see him today.

"Morning sunshine!" He greeted out but I just stared at him with a bland expression and stuffed in the spoonful of cereals in my mouth.

My boyfriend haven't texted or called me yet for three days now but I understand what he's going through. That experience was a little depressing to be honest, so I can't blame him. But he can at least let his girlfriend know that he's alive and breathing and not buried under a bridge or something...

Tristan sat beside me and poured himself cereals and milk in a bowl. "Do you think they'll take us?" He asked seriously as he stared at me. Our parents are probably still asleep or away, either one, I'm alone with my step brother.

"I don't know," I'm kinda worrying about Lucas right now and nothing else. I wonder what he's doing now, is he with his dad? Is he avoiding me? Why? Assumptions wandered around my head and it's not nice cause I'm overthinking and overthinking is not good, it stresses you out.

"What's up with you?" Tristan asked, shifting his stool closer to me. "I haven't seen your boyfriend for awhile, did you guys break up?" There was genuine concern in his voice and I looked up at him. That's what I'm thinking about now you dumbass!

"No," I finished off my cereals and walked over to the sink. I should go call Lucas soon to make sure he's alright.

I felt someone standing close behind me and no surprised it was Tristan. How can he even move so swiftly without me noticing? I turned around and he was so close against me, pinning my body against the counter top.

"Tristan, I'm not in the mood for jokes," I said plainly, "I will slap you this time if you kiss me," I warned him but he just smirked at me, licking his bottom lip and I swear I almost fainted.

"I'm not joking either," Tristan said hoarsely. My heart skipped a beat and I stared into his eyes, daring him to look away and be intimidated but he accepted the challenge, staring back. I now noticed how dreamy his blue eyes looked. Ugh! It's not dreamy!

"If mom sees us, were dead," I swallowed down and my throat felt dry. Why am I reacting like this?!

"Relax babe, you worry too much," he said calmly as he ran his finger on my jaw down to my collar bone softly. His lips followed and traced down my neck, I shuddered. Oh. My. God,

"What do you really want from me Tristan?" I asked a little breathless, he softly sucked on my collar bone and I don't know why I'm not stopping him. My head blanked out as he touched me and I can't think straight.

"I don't want anything..." I felt his tongue touch the nape of my neck and my breath hitched. This is wrong but it doesn't feel wrong. I need to focus and snapped out of dream land now.

Tristan's hands moved over from the edge of the counter top to my hips, gripping me tight and I gasped.

"Then what are you doing?! What is this shit?!" I pushed him off so I can look at his eyes. "Am I a toy who you can play with over night? I don't get any of these!" I motioned my hand through the space between us and he still had this calm expression on his face. I hate when he's calm.

"You will never be a toy to me Audrey," he was searching something in my eyes but I don't know what it was, "I don't get it either but I feel something... When I touch you," His gaze moved down to my lips, biting his own and my cheeks started to heat up.

"This is wrong Tristan," I focused my gaze on the ground and he cupped both my cheeks on his palms, raising my head to look at him.

"I know, but it feels right," He feels it too!!? Tristan leaned down to meet my lips and my eyes just fluttered closed waiting for it to happen. My entire body was covered in goose bumps and my heart was pounding against my rib cage. Gah! What's happening to me!

Before anything could happen, there was a voice nearby and I shoved him away from me, he sighed in frustration and I pursed my lips tight. What are we doing? This is wrong! So wrong!

"Hey kids," Mom walked in the room all cheery and happy. I looked down the island, avoiding any eye contact because she will kill me if she knew what we've been up to. I'll be dead. Neither of us greeted her back and she looked at us worried. "Anything wrong?" She peeked down at me and I met her gaze.

"Huh?" I said lost in time. Mom, forgive me.

"I said, is there a problem?" My sight moved towards Tristan and he looked completely pissed off. Obviously! I'm a little disappointed when it didn't happen too.

"No, nothings wrong," Shaking my head. She looked at me doubtful with my answer but she brushed it off instantly.

"Good! Cause I have a good news! The modeling agency just called and both of you are in," She joined her hands together and pressed it against her chest. My brows raised up and I look at her in disbelief.

"Seriously!?" Is this really happening? I can't grasp the idea that I will model for real. Mom was grinning at us then her phone rang, she snatched it off her pocket, answering the call.

"Hi!... Yes sir, yes... Right... Uhm, yeah... No sir... Alright, I'll let them know... Thank you so much... Bye, have a nice day..." I wonder what there conversation was about because my mom looked excited and worried at the same time she looked at us both.

"Well...? What did they say? Are we still in?" I asked anxiously.

"Yeah. Just one problem, they think you're not related," She pointed towards me and Tristan and I moved my eyes towards Tristan who was smirking mischievously, his pissed off mood was totally gone and he was his usual self again.

"Didn't you tell them we are?" I asked confused and she slowly shook her head.

"But were not related," Tristan stated, glancing at me with a seductive expression on his face, mom frowned at him like he said something stupid. Well it was stupid actually.

"Uh yeah you are, by marriage," Mom clarified. I rolled my eyes and looked away from both of them. They're so stupid! "Anyways! You're going to a photoshoot in three days and Audrey, they think both of you are friends so you have to act like it," I have to pretend to be friends with him? Uhm no thank you! We had too much attraction accidents for the past days now and it's making uncomfortable.

"Awesome!" Tristan blurted out and both eyes landed on him. What an idiot.

"Yeah... You guys will bond and stuff..." Mom sounded hesitant and I frowned, acting like I still hate my step brother.

"I don't want to bond with that asshole!" I spatted out. Tristan smirked at me cause he knows I'm just kidding.

"Audrey! Language!" Tristan laughed silently like a retarded seal behind her and my lips cracked into a smile. "Well you have to if you want this job," She contradict me as she scrolled through her phone.

"Why didn't you tell them that we are related?" I can't pushed this aside. Why would mom do that?

"Cause! They said that they needed a male and a female model and if I told them that you are related, they wouldn't picked both of you," Oh. Right, because it'll get awkward when that happens.

"Perfect," Tristan murmured with a grin on his face. What's up with his remarks?

"Yeah... Well I'm off, see y'all later," She walked out and I'm still shocked that I got the part. I will work my ass off for this. I'll do anything to show them I deserve this!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was deciding if this was a good time to call Lucas now or do it later, but I'm too worried about him. Never have I received anything fro him for the past two days since after his lacrosse game. But what if he's in the middle of something at this moment?

Kris burst through my doors and jumped on my bed, she gave me a hug and stared down my phone as I was doing. Great! She can help me!

"What's up bitch!" She greeted me, Were used to insulting each other so that was normal for me.

"I'm thinking if I should call Lucas or not," I played with my phone and my thumbs were dancing anxiously.

"Do it! Call him!" Kris snatched my phone off my hands and scrolled through the contacts herself. She called Lucas and put it on speaker, "Here!" Tossing my ringing phone at me.

"Kris! Why'd you do that!?" I don't know but I feel like not doing this anymore.

"What? He's your boyfriend, you're supposed to check on him." It was the fifth ring and still no answer.

"I'll hang up! He's not gonna- Hey babe!" My eyes widen when the timer starts counting on the screen. Dammit! Well I just have to talk to him for a short period of time so I need to suck it up.

"Audrey? I'm so sorry I haven't called for the past days," His voice was groggy and he sounds like he just woke up. Worst idea to call.

"It's okay, did I wake you?" No it's not really okay because you can't even text me a simple 'hey'?.

"Well yeah," He stiffled a yawn and I want to end the call right now. Lucas sounds really tired though.

"Are you alright?" I asked him and he sounded nervous about something.

"Yeah I'm okay." Lucas's tone was sad but it was sadder than the situation. Oh my god! Don't tell me he's breaking up with me! "I'm so sorry Audrey for not telling you but I'm in Florida and my dad is in a coma, I'll probably back in two weeks," His tone was sincere but Kris quirk her brows at my phone, not believing him.

"Well that's okay too," I was relieved and disappointed at the same time for a lot of reason. "Is your dad okay?"

"Uh, no, he's making progress for the past two days but he's in a coma," He sounded monotone and my forehead creased.

"Oh. He'll be fine," I assured and I think I heard him sniff. Now the guilt is flooding in. I can't hurt him, its just too much for him to take and he needs me.

"I'll be with you right now if I could but I have to be here for my dad," Kris fully frowned and I pursed my lips at her.

"I understand. Lucas? I have to go, I just called to check up on you," I was giddy to end the conversation because Trstan's lips along my neck lingered and I'm feeling so guilty about it.

"I'll miss you babe," He was serious when he said it and I don't think he's making up a reasons and excuses not to see me.

"I'll miss you too," My heart was pounding and sweat covered my forehead. If I don't hang up soon, I'll start confessing and blurting out everything.

"Bye, love you," Okay it's almost over just say it back then hang up.

"Love you too," Then done. I threw my phone at Kris and she hung up for me.

He's alright, no need to worry about anything. Kris was frowning at me like she's suspecting something but I gave her a slight shrug.

"Girl! I smell something fishy," Kris rolled her neck and it was funny but I didn't laugh.

"Shush up Kris," I am worried.

Lucas won't cheat on me, will he? I trust him over myself because he's more loyal than a labrador. I'm literally cheating on him because Tristan almost kissed me and I didn't stop him. I do love Lucas but I don't know what I feel for Tristan... Even though he's my step brother... Hell! My life is so messed up!
