Deceiving My Bully Stepbrother
Chapter 54

(Johnnie)

I glanced over at Caspian, my stomach twisting into knots as he put his key into the door before turning.

"You ready baby?" He asked and I just nodded..I was so nervous to meet Moose officially and see where Caspian has lived for the past year..

Caspian pushed the door open, the apartment coming into view as I took a tentative step forward. Everything was decorated in brown and black and the place definitely had a bachelor pad type of feel to it..especially with the huge gaming set up beneath the TV. I could see Caspian's eyes darting towards me every few seconds, obviously feeling nervous as I walked over towards a bookshelf to examine the framed picture of Caspian's hockey team a little closer..and that's when I saw it..a freaking bowl of condoms..oh my god, seriously?! They just had them sitting out right here? I felt my stomach drop as my cheeks began to burn red.

"Th..those aren't mine...I swear." Caspian suddenly blurted, making me nod once before glancing over at him, his face was pale as he started pulling me to the other room where I now saw a black lace bra was lying on the damn floor. Yeah, this definitely was a bachelor pad..

"For f***s sake...I told Moose to clean up." Caspian grumbled before kicking the bra to the side as he seemed to stiffen awkwardly.

I didn't know how to feel...I mean, yeah, the bra most likely wasn't from Caspian..considering he has been gone for close to three weeks..but just seeing that stuff made me realize what type of guy Caspian used to be.

He had a lot of girlfriends before me...and I mean a lot...I guess I didn't connect the two that he probably brought them here..

"Here is our room." He suddenly stated before dragging me down the hall and opening the first door on the left.

I stepped inside, my eyes wandering across the well-kept room as I held my breath, wondering what the hell I would replace in there.

I looked at the walls, seeing posters of different hockey players and a few trophies on shelves as I felt my feet moving on their own.

I began examining the things he kept..like a picture of his mom and Alder..then there were hockey sticks in the corner. "Johnnie....I'm sorry.." Caspian suddenly apologized before coming behind me.

"I know walking in and seeing that stuff wasn't the best first impression.." He trailed off as I turned in Caspian's arms before placing my hands on his shoulders.

"It's okay..I'm not an idiot..I know what things were like before." I laughed half-heartedly, trying to lighten the situation.

"It still makes me feel shitty..I should've waited..I wish I would've." He whispered, making me frown as I shook my head no.

"You can't feel guilty about that Caspian..okay? Things were different..its not like you cheated on me or something." I said before lifting my hand and cupping his face.

"f*****g felt like it to me..every damn time I did that s**t I thought of you." He confessed as sadness filled his eyes. "Y..you did?" I was shocked to hear this..

"Of course I did..you have been all I ever wanted for years..and I was an asshole who ruined it.."

"Well, now you do have me okay?..and you better not ruin it again.." I pouted, making Caspian bend down closer to me. "Never, I would never do anything to hurt you again..I swear Johnnie.."

I lifted on my toes, meeting Caspian halfway as I kissed him roughly and that's when I heard a loud bang before the door flew open, causing me to jump.

"Moose, what the hell man! Don't you f*****g knock?!" Caspian shouted, his hands pulling me closer to him as the big guy standing at the door looked between us.

He had curly chocolate brown hair that was cut into a mullet and his skin was fair. He was huge..like, really huge. Almost twice the size of Caspian..which was daying something considering Caspian was no small guy.. "Oh my bad, didn't realize you two would be at it already." He said with a cheesy grin before stepping forward.

"Hey, Johnnie, nice to officially meet you. Can't believe you decided to marry this asshole...beautiful girl like you can do much better." Moose winked at me, making my cheeks flush as I could see Caspian was pissed. "Shut the f**k up, dude. Don't say s**t like that, I'm serious." Caspian spat while turning towards him as I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist.

Moose just laughed his ass off as I shook my head in disbelief. This guy was a character.

"Well, everyone is coming in an hour, so better get ready." Moose added while giving Caspian a toothy grin.

"Wait..everyone? What the f**k are you talking about Moose?" Caspian seemed to blanch as he stared at his roommate in shock.

"Oh yeah, the welcome back party..I didn't tell you about that? All the guys are on their way." Moose informed us as Caspian seemed to be having some type of stroke.

"No..you f*****g didn't..we..we gotta go." Caspian suddenly rushed out before gripping my hand and started pulling. "What? Caspian..what's going on?" I asked in confusion seeing Caspian reach down and grab my purse.

"He invited the whole f*****g team..I can't put you through this shit.." He muttered before stepping towards the door and shoving Moose out of the way who just laughed once again.

"Oh, I haven't seen you like this before King..I think I love it." He added, earning another glare from Caspian.

"Baby, wait.." I tried to say but he wasn't listening and continued to pull me along as I dug my feet into the carpet, trying to slow him down.

"Caspian!" I yelled, making him finally stop before glancing back at me as I panted heavily.

"Do..do you not want me to meet your friends?" I managed to choke out, feeling that sadness creeping up..was he embarrassed of me?

"What? No baby..of course I want you to..why would you think that?" He rushed out, his hands cupping my cheeks as he peered down at me.

"Well..you are dragging me out of the house before they even get here.." Does he not realize how that looks?

Caspian let out a long sigh before placing his forehead against mine.

"No..I just..they are a lot..like..too f*****g much for even me sometimes..and I don't want them to scare you off.." He confessed, making me blink up at him.

"Well..I want to meet them..so if you want to leave because of me, we don't have to..but if you want to leave because you aren't ready to introduce me yet..it's okay." I explained..I get that coming back to the real world is going to be harder than we thought. Considering we never ran in the same circle..and he pretty much hated me before..but I wanted to meet his friends...I wanted to see the important people in Caspian's life.

"Fuck..okay, fine..but if a single one of them stares at your ass or makes one f*****g comment..I swear I am going to lose my shit." He grumbled and I couldn't help but smile against him before placing a soft kiss on his lips.

I liked jealous Caspian..it made my heart race to see how possessive he was of me...

"I'm sure it will be fine baby." I whispered before kissing him again and that's when a loud banging sounded on the door.

"Of course they're f*****g early.."
