Bullied By My Alpha Stepbrother

Amelia Forbes

I sucked in my breath as Benson finally took off the piece of cloth he had used to cover Nana’s full length mirror.

If I wasn’t consciously present, I wouldn’t have believed that the girl I was staring at right now was me.

As I slowly twirled, my mouth fell open. I knew the dress Adrian’s mom had picked out for me was nice but I didn’t think it was THIS hot.

“Well fuck,” Dani whistled, as she walked in. “I just had an orgasm from staring at you.”

I whipped around, my eyes wide. “Dani! Stop being so nasty.” I covered my eyes with my hands.

She replied with a loud laugh and did a once-over in the mirror. She wore a baggy, all black suit that fell around at the ankles.

Duh.

Dani was the only person I’d ever met that could rock a baggy suit and make it look hot.

“Oh shush. You look good, girl,” She winked at me.

Turning to Benson she said, “You did a great job on her hair and makeup y’know. It’s awesome.”

I held my breath hoping it would end well.

Ben smiled widely. “Thanks! You know my mom-”

“Please no. I don’t need the details,” Dani winked at him and walked off.

“Oh, I hate her,” He muttered under his breath.

“No you don’t,” I said in a singsong voice.

He rolled his eyes as a reply and cleared his throat. “Let’s finish up quickly. Adrian just texted, he’ll be here soon. I’m gonna go change.”

He ran off, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I stared at my reflection, running my fingers over the fabric. Adrian’s mom had picked out a midnight blue dress with a halter neck, which billowed out from my midsection and curved at the back in a kind of fishtail so it flowed behind me. The prettiest thing about the dress were the tiny crystals that peeked through the folds at the bottom of the dress every time light hit it.

The back of the dress was exposed in a crisscross fashion and the only piece of jewelry I wore was a silver bracelet Nana had gifted me. Ben had styled my hair in a high topknot, but let a few tendrils fall in ringlets at the front of my ears. He had also done a light natural makeup, swiping some wine colored lipstick over my lips. And I had on the silver heels Adrian’s mom had gifted me for prom, and a small silver purse that was just sufficient to fit my phone.

“Adrian’s here!” I heard Ben yell as he walked back into the room.

I whistled as I looked him over. “Damn!”

He grinned. “How do I look?” He asked doing a 360.

“Like a piece of heaven,” I responded, taking out my phone to take some shots of him. He looked amazing in a dark green suit paired with a tan colored turtle neck shirt and similar colored ankles shoes.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I smiled and whistled repeatedly as I took shots of him. Ben sure knew how to rock his blue eyes and sandy hair.

As I positioned myself to take one last shot, he grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the door. “Adrian’s hereee.”

We walked out to Nana, Adrian and Dani in an animated conversation. Adrian froze, mouth agape, as he sighted me. “Mel. . .”

Suddenly I became too shy to look him in the eyes. The admiration in them were pretty obvious.

Nana hurried to me, embracing me in a tight hug. As she held me by the shoulders and looked me through, a tear dropped from her eyes and she wiped it quickly.

You look amazing, baby, she signed as she gave me another hug.

Quickly, she had us pose for a group picture. And of course, Dani and Benson wouldn’t stop making me laugh so hard, I was sure I looked like a hyena in all the pictures.

Adrian and I posed for a picture together too. And we kinda looked like a couple. As Nana took our picture, she wiggled her eyebrows at me in a mischievous fashion. I only laughed and waved it off.

As we all hurried down to the limo Adrian had hired for today, he kept staring at me as if in a trance.

And I wasn’t sure I’d ever felt this shy before. He straightened out his jacket and opened the car door for me to get in. He looked amazing as well dressed in a light blue suit that did wonders for his eyes. And his tousled hair stood in soft, messy black curls. I could already imagine just how many girls’ lives would be destroyed when they saw him today.

The thought made me laugh out loud. Adrian laughed along although he didn’t know why I was laughing.

We all got in the limo, talking, laughing and talking about what we envisioned prom to be like.

And it felt nice.
