Chapter One
GOLDIE
“I don’t need a babysitter,” I tell my mom. Why is she doing this to me? “I’m eighteen. I think I can handle a week alone.” This place is locked up tight with a security system that’s like something from the future.
“You’re still in high school, Goldie,” my mom reminds me, and I fight not to roll my eyes. I don’t not want to be rude. “Let’s not forget about you sneaking out.”
“I wasn’t sneaking out!” I’m never going to live that down, and it’s all my stepbrother's fault. He still gets under my skin even when he’s on the other side of the continent. It really is quite the skill.
“You didn’t tell anyone where you were going. I don’t think Josie has been the best influence on you.”
“That’s not fair. She’s the only friend I’ve made here,” I remind her. Besides, Josie means well.
My mom was the one who moved us here right before my senior year started. I wasn’t mad about it. In fact, I’m crazy happy for my mom. She fell in love with a man who swept her off her feet, but we ended up having to move because of it.
To me, it wasn’t a big deal since I only had one year left of high school. Now I’m months away from graduation, and Josie is my only friend. She’s in a few of my classes, and we get along. She actually talks to me, unlike most of the other students. Everyone else already has their friend groups established and aren't looking for new people.
As much as I hate to admit it, my mom isn't wrong. Josie can be a bit wild, which is why I haven't mentioned it's her I'm going to be hanging out with. I didn't want to worry her any more than she already is.
“This is a big house. You won’t even notice Nash is here.”
Ha! I noticed Nash the second he entered my life. He’s my mysterious new stepbrother that’s always too busy to hang around us. Nash seems to enjoy shooting daggers at me while he’s super nice to my mom.
“Doesn’t he have work or something?”
“He owns his business,” my mom reminds me, as if I don’t know everything about Nash.
“Which means he’ll be all up in my business if he thinks he’s babysitting me.” He already calls me “little girl.” It must be because of my age because I’m not little. I’m actually extra curvy.
“Don’t be silly. Besides, he’s already agreed and is on his way.”
“Mom.” I groan before falling back onto the bed.
“This might be good for the two of you. We’re all a family now.” Mom comes over and stares down at me.
“Fine.” I give in because what else can I do?
I watch the anxiety drain from my mom’s face. John is taking her on a dream vacation to Fiji, and I don’t want her to worry while she’s gone. She’s always wanted to stay in one of those over-the-water huts, and he’s making it happen. My mom never imagined she would have the opportunity to experience something like this, and I’m so happy for her.
Before John, we lived in a tiny apartment, and she worked two jobs. He came along and swept her right into a fairy tale. It was sweet, and the man is hopelessly in love with her. I don’t think his first marriage was very good, and I’m pretty sure Nash was an accident. Kind of like I was. Where Nash’s dad married his mom, my father took off the second my mom saw two blue lines.
“Thank you, sweetheart.” Mom leans down and kisses me on the cheek, and I pull her in for a hug. “I'm going to finish packing.”
“All right.” I sit up and watch her go before snagging my phone off my nightstand. I wonder when Nash will be here. I’m willing to bet he’s coming in on his fancy private jet that he probably flies supermodels on.
Josie: What’s the verdict?
Me: He’s still coming.
Josie: Sorry.
Josie knows how much I don’t care for my stepbrother. She knows who he is because the Rhodeses are kind of a big deal here. Nash didn’t really need his dad’s name because he’s brilliant in his own right. He chose to break away from his father’s business and started his own company.
Josie: We can still figure things out. I’ve been googling.
A link comes half a second later, and I click on it. I’ve been having issues that all started when Josie and I wanted to go for a swim. I was on my period and thought it would be the perfect time to try a tampon. Except I couldn't get it in.
When I started masturbating for the first time, not long after I’d met my new stepbrother, I touched the area around my clit. I tried to push a finger inside myself once or twice, but I could never get it all the way in.
