One night stand with my billionaire stepbrother

Looking outside the window, I was lost in the thought of being broken. I was leaving Chicago for good, I was going to start a new life in Los Angeles and leave my past behind.

The thought of Levine, my ex boyfriend made me

feel sober, he was the man I thought I would end up with, the man I could do anything for. I wasn't expecting him to cheat on me and especially not with Rose, my surrogate mom.

Levine and I had always been inseparable that if I hadn't seen it for myself, I wouldn't believe he was cheating on me. We had dated for about a year and half and I felt he was going to propose to me soon.

It was Levine's 27th birthday, I had planned to surprise him at his house. Seeing his car at his house by 4pm seemed odd because he often closed from work by 5pm but I didn't mind "maybe he took the day off" I had said to myself. I set the candles and cakes in the sitting room and tiptoed to his room to get him and that was when I received the shock of my life. Levine was in bed with Rose.

"Mom!" I screamed at the sight of her and fell to the floor. Levine was confused and disappointed, not because he had cheated on me but because I caught him cheating. I struggled to stand on my feet as it left a large hole in my heart, which I never thought would be able to fill up anymore. I walked as fast as I could out of his house, dropping the car keys on the table, I left after warning him not to come after me.

I couldn't bear the pain of staying back in Chicago as everything there reminded me of him, the supermarkets, cinemas and most especially my apartment, deep down, I still loved him but I was going to try getting over him and moving over to Los Angeles would be the best, I decided.

I wasn't going to open up my heart again to love, I was just going to have fun with no strings attached, I had sworn to myself.

The weather was breezy making strands my blonde hair cover my face, I slowly removed them from my face and reached out for a hair tie. As I parked my hair into a ponytail, I could reminisce Levine's feeble but firm touch.

He would slowly run his bare hands through my face and down to my neck, making me let out a whimper of pleasure. He would run his hands through my blonde hair and aggressively remove my hair tie, he didn't like my hair being tied up during foreplay and intimacy. He'd always remove them aggressively as he loved the way they got in the way.....

The abrupt stop of the bus jerked me back to the real world and I realized I had gotten to the bus station. I quickly waved Levine's thought off my mind and tied my hair.

Luna was waiting for me at the bus station, she has always been my closest friend since childhood. Seeing her from afar brought in good memories of our childhood. She wore a blue shirt over a black pant and her curly brown hair fell to her shoulders

I walked toward her with a smile on my face, but the pain still lingered in me. It was for the best, I knew, but the best wasn't something easy enough to defer.

A sigh escaped from my lips as I finally attained Luna.

"I was starting to think you canceled," Luna said, looking intently at me, she had an excited grin on her face, but her brown eyes held concern.

"Nope I can't even if I wanted to, I guess this is for the best" I replied forcing a smile.

She smiled back turning my fake smile into a genuine one. "Let's go to my apartment then" she said walking ahead of me and she flagged down a taxi.

After what seemed like a never ending ride, we finally attained her apartment, a three bedroom flat well furnished was situated on the second floor.

"Feel at home" Luna said leading me into the house

"Thanks" I mumbled as a look glances around the house as everything seemed to have changed, I had been to her house a couple of times over the years.

"I thought you won't ever quit your job for anything" Luna said starting a conversation

"Me neither, my work and relationship has always been my passion but I guess my happiness comes first" I had taken my relationship as my priority and it was what I regretted most.

"And you and Levine, what really went wrong? You guys seemed all lovey dovey every time I got the chance to meet you two together" she peered at me

"That's not something I feel the need to talk about. Goodnight Luna I guess it's past my bedtime and you know I need to look for a job tomorrow" I stood up heading into my room

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought that up" I heard her say.
