My Bully Is Also My Step-Brother 4: Moving in

4: Moving in

Ajax didn’t have very many belongs to take, so he finished packing his things on the same night

-The next morning-

Annabelle

(*gently knocks on door*) Sweetie, it’s time to wake up. The driver will be here soon to pick us up.

Ajax (MC)

(*rubs his eyes*) Good morning mom. I will get up quickly

Annabelle

Perfect. I bought breakfast for us to eat together too, so please come when you are ready

A few minutes later, Ajax comes to the kitchen with his sleepy hair and fuzzy socks

Ajax (MC)

(*rubs eyes, yawns*)

Annabelle

Hehe, looks like you just rolled out of bed even though I already work you up a few minutes ago

Ajax (MC)

I’ll eat first, then get ready

Annabelle

(*smiles*) Whatever works for you sweetheart

Ajax and Annabelle sit at the table together to eat their breakfast. Ajax is clearly lost in thought, however

Ajax (MC)

(*playing with his food*)

Annabelle

Are you okay? Did you have another bad dream?

Ajax (MC)

No I just…I was thinking to myself

Annabelle

What were you thinking about?

Ajax (MC)

Do you…do you love the guy? The one you are going to be?

Annabelle

(*looks down*) I’m not sure sweetie. As you’ve said, the loss of your father is still recent so I can’t fall in love so easily. That being said…I’m not opposed to it

Ajax (MC)

So you mean that you could fall in love with him someday?

Annabelle

Yes, or at least I hope I do. I’m getting too old to be alone after all 😂

Ajax (MC)

But you’re not alone. You will always have me

Annabelle

Aww, of course my baby will always be around 😘 you will always be the one I love the most no matter what

Ajax (MC)

I love you to mom ☺️

The two of them finish their breakfast. The whole apartment is eventually emptied and cleaned as they wait for the driver to arrive

Ajax (MC)

(*sitting on the sofa, tapping his foot*)

Annabelle

What is it now Ajax? I can tell something is on your mind

Ajax (MC)

Well…what if your new husband doesn’t like me? Or what if my new stepbrother doesn’t like me either? 😣

Annabelle

Are you crazy? I am sure they will love you immediately, just as much as I do

Ajax (MC)

I…I really hope so 😕

-Two hours later-

The driver had already came to pick up Ajax, Annabelle, and their belongings. They now stand in front of a huge mansion as they get out of the car

Ajax (MC)

Wow, this place is huge!

Annabelle

It does seem quite large. And to think there are only two people living here at the moment

Ajax (MC)

Well, I guess it will be four very soon

Annabelle

😄 yes, that’s true. Now let’s go in and greet the CEO. We can get our belongings afterwards

Ajax follows closely behind his mother as they make their way towards the front door, which is being held by a tall handsome man

Nolan

Hello Annabelle. I’m glad you’ve finally accepted my proposal

Annabelle

(*slight bow*) How could I refuse such a generous offer

Ajax (MC)

(*standing back, shy*)

Annabelle

Ah yes, this is my son. His name is Ajax

Ajax (MC)

H…hello sir (*deep bow*)

Nolan

Oh please, there is no need for formalities 😅 we are going to be a family after all. I will be your stepdad, but please call me Nolan if that is more comfortable for you

Ajax (MC)

Okay (*smiles*) 💭He really does seem like a nice guy. Perhaps living here won’t be so bad after all

Annabelle

We’ve left our belongings in the car. Shall we unpack and get settled in?

Nolan

Of course! I’ll help you guys

Nolan volunteers to carry the heavy bags into the house and brings them to the rooms

Annabelle

Ah Nolan…may I speak to you for a moment?

Nolan

Yeah, what is it?

Annabelle

Well…umm…I was wondering if it would be okay for Ajax and I to share a room. Just until he feels comfortable and…

Nolan

(*interrupts*) Annabelle, please. I understand this transition will be hard for you. If being closer to your son makes it any easier than please do!

Annabelle

(*smiles*) Thank you so much. You truly are a kind man

Nolan

It’s no problem at all 😄 I just hope your feelings of gratitude will slowly turn into love one day. There’s no rush, but I look forward to the day

Annabelle

(*heart flutters*) T…thank you. Umm…by the way, where is your son?

Nolan

Hmm, good question. He’s probably using our private gym at the moment

Ajax (MC)

Wow, you have a private gym?

Nolan

Yep. I’ll have my son give you guys a tour of the whole place I’ll call him over right now

Nolan sends a quick text message and receives an answer right away

Nolan

Great, looks like Anthony is on his way. He should be here any second

Ajax (MC)

💭hmm, so his name is Anthony. i didn’t realize it was such a common name. I just hope he’s nothing like the one who bullies me in school. Haha, that would be crazy if he actually turned out to be….
