Moving In_(1)

Well today was the day.
The big move. My mother and I were moving into the house of her new husband, Dave.
I can barely contain my excitement.
Do Note the sarcasm.
In all honestly I guess Dave isn’t that bad. He’s actually really nice.
And the love him and mom share is something worthy of a Disney movie.

Nick.
That’s where the problem lies. The egotistic son of Dave.


“Ash! Come on.” Yells my mom from downstairs.
Glancing around my room I sigh. The Only items left are some random boxes littering the Floor. Tucking a stray strand of dark hair behind my ear, I pick up a box and continue out the room.

“There you are, and here I thought you got lost.” Says my mom with a smile on her face and a hand on her hip. Her blonde hair a slight mess on top of her head.

“Very fu-“

“Mom!” My stepbrother yells from the front door.

“In here honey.” She calls back.
A moment later Nick walks into the kitchen with us. A smile on his perfect face….
Wait, what no… I totally meant NOT perfect face. His smile turns into a smirk as he catches me staring. Blood rushes to my cheeks as I quickly advert my gaze to the much more interesting floor. I jolt as an arm suddenly wraps around my shoulders.

“Hey there sis need some help with that box.” Shrugging his arm off I throw him a quick glare before turning around and walking out side to put my box in the truck.

———————————————————–

45 minutes or so later and the rental truck is full. There wasn’t enough room in the back so the passenger seat in the uhaul Is filled along with 3 of the seats in the car. Taking one last glance around the old home I pull the door closed. Looking down the path the rest of the “family ” are discussing something intently. Only one way to find out what that is I suppose.

“We could just make two trips.” My mom says as I reach the group.

“No way it’s over an hour long drive just to get there, not only that but the sun is already setting. By the time somebody got back here it would be dark.” Throws in my step dad shaking his head.

“What’s wrong?” I ask crossing my arms.

My mother sighs before telling me
“Well apparently we had to much crap hun, there isn’t enough room for all of us to fit.”

“Aha I know,” Dave states suddenly. “Ashley will just have to ride on Nicks lap.”
….a moment of silence passes before I open my mouth to bitch.

“Bu-“

“Ok” Nick says before I get the chance to say no. I turn to glare at him. On his face is the most fake innocence look I have ever seen.

“Are you sure nick? It’s a long ride.” My mom says tapping her chin.

“Yeah it’s fine. Dad can drive the truck. You can drive the car.” Suddenly he wraps his arm around my shoulder pulling me into his side. “And me and ash can ride in the back seat.

Deciding this really is the best option, much to my disapproval, we head to our respective vehicles. Opening the Passenger back door Nick slides in before he taps his lap with a grin on his face. Why the hell did I decide a skirt was good option to wear today. I mean seriously, who wears a skirt moving. I glance to my mom for support only to see her lip-locked with Dave. I sigh before Gingerly Sitting on his lap trying not to put any weight on him.

“Not so bad huh.”
I gasp hearing him right in my ear. His warm breath tickling me. I try to just nonchalantly shrug my shoulders. He chuckles making my body shake slightly.

“Okay kids ya ready.” My mom ask as she climbs in the front seat. I nod before realizing she can’t actually see me. Her view blocked by boxes.

“Yup we are good”. Nick says back.
The door closes, the car starts and we’re driving.
