Just you wait!

LEONE

It was the moment that I arrived home long after my exams had ended in school, that I was informed about the drowning incident with Isabella. I had come home with the intention to see how the new family that Dad brought, would fit perfectly into ours.

When Dad told me that he was in love with a new lady and was willing to get married, I was so angry because I had never imagined having a stepmom in my life after mum's death. Dating women for fun was different from getting married to one of them.

I knew that there was nothing that I could do about it, because it was what he wanted, and his decision to take in another life partner. We had never really seen eye to eye about the same thing, and often had fights that always drifted a bridge between us.

School was like my comfort place where I could have fun with friends, and being with Isabella at home was the only fun thing because she was a sweet child.

However, when Dad told me that my new stepsister was the one who jumped in to save Isabella, the terrible view I had about getting a family because of Dad's decision, changed in some kind of way.

Whoever she was, I speculated that she must have had a big heart to be able to save a drowning kid at the expense of her own life.

"How are you feeling, Isa? Are you okay?"I asked the little girl lying lifelessly on the bed without any words to say to me, which was not her usual picky and bubbly self. She would have said a million words by now if it was before.

"I'm good. The doctor says that I can only get up from bed tomorrow. I'm so bored already,"she complained with a scrunched-up face, and I chuckled as I pat her head softly. I couldn't believe that she was already agile enough to talk in her usual manner, when she just survived a near-death experience minutes ago.

"Do you want anything? Do you want me to read you a book? Or tell a story?"I asked her with a grin while looking around to grab a seat, and she cocked an eyebrow at me.

"I know you do not enjoy doing stuff like that. I'll just watch cartoons later when I wake up. I feel sleepy,"Her lips parted and she let out an implausible yawn as her eyes shut tightly, which made me snicker at her very rare consideration for me.

Her eyelashes suddenly parted when I raised my head after kissing her forehead like she remembered something, which kind of surprised me, "Have you seen my new sister? Dad said that she saved me!"Isabella announced excitedly.

"Dad told me about that too. I guess I should go and thank her for saving our pretty Isabella's life."

"Please tell her to come and see me if she is done unpacking,"Isabella implored, and I frowned.

"So you are tossing your brother for a new sister?"I asked her immediately, and she turned her face to the other side of the room.

"I'm sleepy, Leone. Do not wake me,"she repeated again, and I chuckled at her cuteness.

I walked out of Isabella's bedroom and shut the door behind me slowly, as I made my way into the hallway that led to my room. I was informed that her room was the second one in the hallway that was opposite mine, and the door was wide open when I got there which indicated that it was really true.

'Someone was there.'

"I heard you were the one that………"I was about to start in that way as I tried to enter the room, and I heard a scream which took me aback to realize what had happened. I shut my eyes immediately.

"You don't know how to knock?"I heard the angry voice question me.

"The door was open so there was no reason to know,"I retorted in my defense, so that it wouldn't seem like I had done that intentionally.

There seemed to be some little movement going on after I replied, and I was still standing there with my eyes shut wondering what would have happened if I had seen my new stepsister naked. It would have been a crazy and awkward situation that I wouldn't even wish for any of us.

"You can open your eyes,"I heard her say, and my eyes parted open immediately like I had been suffocating from just closing my eyes. And yes I was.

I was still trying to explain to her that I had come to thank her for saving my little sister, when my vision suddenly became clearer than they were and I squinted my eyes. For some reason, she was looking awfully familiar with some memory attachment of mine.

'Was I hallucinating?'

It suddenly occurred to me that it was real, and that she was the person that was standing before me, "Lynette? You are my stepsister?"I asked in surprise.

I wanted to go closer to where she was standing and give her a warm embrace, but I just stood on the spot transfixed about how everything was unfolding. Seeing her stand before me after missing her terribly for years with our eyes boring into each other's, made me realize that she still had crazy effects on me.

'Are wishes now horses? How could Lynn Miller be standing right in front of me, in my father's house?'

As much as I wondered how to act without thinking after seeing her, it was crazy for me to comprehend the fact that I and Lynnette met one another once again as stepsiblings.

"Is this truly you?"I asked her again to be sure if it was her, rather than my heart which could be playing mind games with me.

Seeing how she blurted out some nonsense out of shock and confusion, made me realize that it was the same Lynette that I know who acted like a controlled doll whenever she became flustered.

I moved closer to where she was standing to talk more closely with her than we had ever done, and she looked like she was struggling to let even saliva down her throat.

When she asked if Emilio was my dad, it was so funny and refreshing to see that she was still the same person that I knew. The only difference was the fact that she had gotten prettier and more gorgeous than ever, and it was so head-spinning to watch her stand in a shirt that barely covered her thighs.

It seemed like she was angry with me as I continued to talk to her, and I apologized profusely for leaving her in that manner years ago.

I had always scripted and practiced how I would explain myself if we ever met by chance, and random words that I could just put together in my head just flowed out, when I realized that she was hurt by my actions.

Unable to resist her charms that had become so redundant, I pulled her into a warm embrace before she could even object. It was so good to be true to know that I was standing in the same room with Lynette Miller. When I saw tears roll down her cheeks, it broke my heart because I didn't know why she was crying.

The moment she started talking about how our love cannot work out when I confessed my true feelings, I began to hate our new setting that I thought I would be able to cope with before.

She was so attractive even more than she had been, and I knew that there was no way that I could resist her. That I could calm my heart down. I decided to give her a piece of my mind that was made up concerning everything.

"My feelings for you have never changed and it is still the same till now, so I am going to make you mine, Lynette Miller,"I whispered into her ears and smirked, only to see a shocked expression on Lynn's face when I told her that. The reaction was priceless.

"Leone. Do you realize what you are saying? How can you say that?"She asked in exasperation as she continued to stare at me, which made me mischievously because I could see right through her. She still had feelings for me too and they just needed rekindling.

"It is exactly as I said, Lynn. I am not giving up on my love for you because of anything ever again,"I remarked with a smile and planted a kiss on her cheeks before turning to leave, which made her squirm loudly because she didn't expect it.

"Leone!"She yelled.

"One more thing. Isabella wants you to check on her by evening. She likes you already,"I added ignoring her yell, before walking out of her room and entering mine.

My heart was leaping in extreme joy, because I couldn't believe that the chapter of Lynette had been opened again in my life.

I became so excited with the thoughts of how things would turn out in a few days of our semester break, as I pulled off my clothes and had my bath in preparation for dinner which was in a few minutes.

'Just you wait, Lynn Miller. I will have you and make you mine regardless of what is going to happen. I'm never letting go of you this time.'
