Deceiving My Bully Stepbrother
Chapter 60

(Johnnie)

I kissed Caspian again, his arms locked around my waist as I tried to pull away.

"Baby, we have to go." I whispered, watching as he pouted before letting his head fall back and groaning.

"It's not fair..what if I go and help out?" He suddenly perked up, his eyes darting to Anna whom Moose was flirting with, very heavily I might add.

"Uh..no..you will be too much of a distraction." Anna stated firmly before crossing her arms and looking Moose up and down.

"Besides, I already told Milo he couldn't come, so it wouldn't be fair." She explained, making Caspian frown.

"Wait..you're seeing Milo? Caspian's other best friend?" Moose asked, making Anna nod before patting him on the arm sympathetically.

"Sorry, Moosy, I'm already taken." She stated which was freaking news to me..I mean, I knew they had been talking a lot and seemed to be getting more serious..but official?!

"Keep your phone on you okay? And Anna.. no funny business, I'm f*****g serious." Caspian has known Anna just as long as I have..so his concern was valid.

"Don't worry Dic..I mean..Caspian..I will keep her safe and sound. Now come on.." She stepped forward before gripping my arm and pulling me from Caspian's grasp. I felt like a damn rope being used to play tug of war or something.

"Wait..just one more kiss." He rushed out and lunged for me, his hands gripping my face firmly before kissing the life out of me..jeez..you would think I'm being sent off to another continent or something.

"I love you." He breathed and I suddenly felt a pang of sadness fill me now..

"I love you too..I will be back before you know it okay?" I whispered, letting my head fall back as he placed five more kisses on my lips. That's when Moose got involved, dragging Cas back while Anna practically shoved me into the car. "Bye baby, I love you!!" Caspian

yelled and I swear he would've started chasing the car if Moose wasn't holding onto him. "Oh god..if you start crying I swear.." Anna grumbled before peeling out of the parking lot and speeding away. "I..I'm not.." I sniffled, wiping away my tears as I started to feel bad for leaving Caspian..it was our first time in weeks!

"Mhm..if you say so..Milo was totally right. You guys have got it bad.." She mumbled, making me frown at her before crossing my arms in front of my chest.

"So..are you two official now or something?" I asked suspiciously as I swear I noticed her cheeks turn pink..Anna blushing?! Odd...

"Maybe..he isn't that big of a jerk anymore I guess." She smiled before shrugging as I couldn't help but smile back at her. "Yeah..they both aren't anymore." I agreed.

"So, where are going? Is it the same place as last time?" I asked, remembering I helped her out with a casting shoot a few months ago.

"Well..okay..don't get mad.." She began, making my stomach twist as I looked at her with wide eyes.

"Anna..where are we going?"

"If I told you the truth Caspian would've never agreed!! This was the only way!"

Oh god..where the hell is she taking me?! I groaned to myself and began pulling out my phone.

"No, no phones.." She suddenly blurted before yanking it from my hands and almost swerving off the damn road.

"Anna! Caspian is going to freak if I don't text him."

"You can get your phone back as soon as I know I can trust you.." She narrowed her eyes as I huffed before looking out the window, feeling annoyed.

"J, don't be mad..I thought that since you didn't have a Bachelorette party..we could go out and have a little fun!"

I almost opened my mouth to speak but she continued talking before I could.

"Okay, not a Bachelorette party but a celebration party for becoming a dutiful wife..is that better? Plus we gotta celebrate you popping that cherry, woohoo!" She cheered as I slapped my hand over my face as she turned on the stereo before dancing. "How did we ever become best friends." I teased, making her laugh even harder as she began bolting out the lyrics to a Dua Lipa song.

I couldn't help but sing along as I tried to ignore this sinking feeling like Caspian just might tie me up for good after this one..he is going to be pissed...

I will just get my phone back and explain, then everything should be fine...

Oh god...I'm going to be in big trouble.

"First we are going to my place to change, and then we are going to that club my cousin owns, remember?" She explained as I nodded my head..no way I was going to drink tonight..not after last night..plus since we are 19 I don't want to get in trouble even though her cousin would probably sneak her drinks.

"Then we are going to dance our asses off! d**k face.."

"Anna!"

"Fine..CASPIAN won't even know.." She smiled widely as I frowned.

"I have to tell him..Anna...I don't want to lie..you know how I hate lying and if I start.." I began to panic.

"Okay, okay, jeez..well, you can tell him when we get there then, that will give us a good hour before the f*****g police come to take you away." She grumbled.

"Or..I can just talk to him now and explain everything so we can have actual trust and communication in our relationship." I said while sticking my hand out, asking for my phone.

"Boo..you and your healthy f*****g relationships..where's the red flags?! The danger?! Well..I mean..I guess Caspian is technically one huge red flag.."

"Anna.." I cut her off, motioning for my phone once more.

"Fine..here..but I am not turning around no matter what." She mumbled under her breath, before reaching for the phone and placing it in my hand.

I quickly turned on the screen, seeing four missed texts from Caspian already.

I opened them quickly, noticing one of them included a picture of him lying in bed with a sad look on his face. The picture broke my freaking heart as I quickly called him.

"Baby, is everything okay? Do you need me to come get you?!" Caspian rushed out as I glanced towards Anna who was shaking her head in disgust.

"No, I'm okay, we are still driving. Are you okay?" I asked, feeling nervous about bringing up where we are really going.

"Yeah..Moose tried getting me to take a f*****g nap with him because he wasn't sure if I should be left alone." He confessed making me stifle a laugh.

"Well..you should get some rest..maybe not with Moose though." I added as Caspian sighed loudly.

"I miss you already." He admitted and I bit my lip before looking out the window.

"I miss you too..but baby, well.. Anna kind of lied about where we are going.." I said while closing my eyes and bracing myself.

"What? Johnnie..where are you going then?" He asked firmly.

"She wanted to surprise me to celebrate us getting married..at her cousin's club..don't worry though, I won't drink and I promise I will stick with Anna all night." I rushed out, hearing silence on the other end. "You trust me right? I swear I will be safe..we are just going to go dance for a little." I added much more quietly.

"Okay, I trust you, I want you to have fun okay?" He suddenly stated making my eyes snap open as I thought for a moment I misheard him.

"R..really?" I asked, just to make sure.

"Yeah baby, I love you, I want you to have fun okay?"

After that, we said our goodbyes and I was left holding the phone to my ear, feeling speechless.

"What happened? What did he say?" Anna asked, making me clear my throat.

"He..he said okay..and to have fun.." I mumbled..was it really that easy?

Wait..did Caspian realize he was okay if I was gone..did..did he really not miss me as much as I did him?

"Yes! Oh my god..Caspian King, you are my new favorite person! We are going to have so much fun!!" Anna giggled as I looked down at the phone in my hands feeling confused. Yeah..fun..sounds great..

Why the hell was he okay with this?!!!
