It was semester break before grade eleven started, I was doing nothing but chilling at home, watching my mom and Vincenzo happy. I was still happy for the two of them. Why won't I be, right?
That is what I thought before that day when Al called me and asked me to hang out with her and her friends at her house pool with my boyfriend.
I couldn't imagine a day like this would come. Now if I said I broke up with Vincenzo she'd become suspicious again and I'd become 'THE LIAR' once again. I didn't know what to do. I called in sick that one time.
But this thing never stopped. It was a month now, that every weekend Al would call me and ask me to hangout and I'd turn her down making one excuse or the other. "The liar" thing was about to start for me. I had to do something... But asking Vincenzo, my possible step dad to pretend to be my boyfriend for one night? How inappropriate is that?!
Right?!
Wrong.
I was desperate. So I called him home when mom wasn't home. He came in and pouring him some cold drinks and snacks, I asked him to be my pretend boyfriend, for one night so my pals doesn't see through my lies. I told him that he could say 'no' to me but begged him to not tell mom about any of this.
I couldn't imagine what my mom would do to me if she found out about the lies I've been telling around to people about the guy she has been going out with.
Vincenzo had a very serious look on his face when he first hear me out but then, something changed in his eyes and he agreed into becoming my fake boyfriend.
The night was set. Everything was perfect. Vincenzo had taken care of mom and I was ready to go out to my friends' with Vincenzo in his huge mercedes benz as his girlfriend.
Other than me and Vincenzo there were two more couples, Al and Mickey; Sam and Grace.
The look on my friends and their boyfriends' faces were all worth watching when I arrived at the place with my "MAN". Vincenzo was playing along with me really well too. He got comfortable with my friends, hugged me closer to himself, acting so PDA-ish in front of them, so they'd think that we're so into each other.
Al was jealous. Ofcourse. I had achieved my goal. Although my friends kept saying that Vincenzo was a lot older than me but, I covered it up saying "That was why I kept him hidden and got humiliated for so long"
An hour of drinking and Sam suggested that we play kiss or dare. I immediately refused to play as I didn't want to kiss or do anything intimate with my mom's boyfriend but Vincenzo... he kept pressing me asking me to quit being shy and that it was 'just' a game.
I had to give up. It was from here on things with Vincenzo started getting DARKER.
The first time the bottle pointed at Vincenzo, he was asked to kiss me. I stood up asking the people to drop the game and if they were not, I didn't want to play this game anymore. I couldn't kiss my step dad. It was WRONG! I was cheating on my mom doing this.
But Vincenzo, by the look on his face it was pretty evident that he was enjoying this game immensely. He asked me to calm down, said things like, "It's not like we haven't kissed before babe. We're all friends, don't be shy."
Even though I reminded him about my mom with my eye language, he just grabbed my wrist, pulled me closer and sucked on my lips. I used my hands immediately against his chest to push him off of me but he sneaked his hands to my àss and squeezed there, deepening the kissing.
Two minutes, and I was breathless. Looking into his eyes which weren't kind and father-like anymore. I was scared. Of him and of his intentions.
I wanted to quit. I announced my quitting right after but, Vincenzo grabbed my wrist pulled me on his lap and squeezed onto my body pressing me closer to himself and said, "Let's play babe, cause I'm just starting to have my fun."
