Am I in love with my Step-Brother?

Chapter One - EDITED

I pushed myself out of the comfy plane seat and up into the aisle. I turned off the TV and grabbed my handbag before walking down the steps on my mums private jet. When I reached the runway a man wearing a black suit took my suitcases from the cabin crew and put them in the boot on the limousine. I walked towards the back door and as I went to open it the man stopped me and opened it and ushered me inside.

During this ride I may as well tell you a little bit about myself. I'm Gabriella Carey and I'm 21 years old. I am the daughter of the famous singer Mariah Carey and I live between my mums house is New York and my Dad's house in Dallas, Texas. I've been staying at my dads for the last year and he just got engaged to Monica so I decided to give them some time to themselves and have decided to go and stay with my mum for a little before I try and find a house for myself. My mum knew I was coming to stay as I had phoned her a week ago. She told me that she had something to tell me when I arrived which is exciting.

"Miss we have arrived at your mothers house. Would you like me to help you carry your suitcases in?" The chauffeur asked.

"No no it's fine I'll take them myself." I replied as I stepped out the car. The man came and unloaded my suitcases before getting back into the limo and driving off. I grabbed the two suitcases and wheeled them up the drive to the front door. I still had a key so I unlocked the door and put my suitcases in first before stepping in and closing the door behind me. I expected someone to be around but it was eerily quiet.

"I'M HOME." I shouted really loudly just to make sure that if my mum was here, she definitely would know that I'm here. I pulled my suitcases forward slightly and then a guy about my age walked out of the living room. Has my mum got a toy boy or something?!

"Hey, you must be Mariah's daughter, Gabriella." He said as he looked my up and down. Who the hell did he think he was. I scoffed slighted towards him as he smirked.

"Yes I am. And you are?" I replied while pulling my phone out of my handbag to see a text from Taylor, my best friends. I looked up towards the guy as he began to speak.

"My name is Nathan and I'm your soon to be step brother." He said with a disgusted tone that made me think that he didn't want to be my step brother.

"Ok." I said. So clearly that was my surprise.

"Gabriella!" My mum squealed as she ran towards me and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. "Did you get here alright? No problems with the plane or anything?" She asked as she let go of me.

"The journey was fine and there were no problems with the plane." I said beaming at her.

"So the surprise is that I'm engaged." She said excitedly and I smiled at her.

"So... who's the lucky guy?" I asked holding my mums hands.

"Anthony Wilde." She replied and he came walking through to the hall after he heard his name.

"What's the matter darli- oh you must be Gabriella. It's nice to finally meet you." He said stopping mid sentence as he greeted me and walked towards me and kissed my cheek.

"So you're probably wanting to get some sleep and unpack." She said and I nodded.

"Is my room still my old bedroom?" I asked.

"Yes but now Nathan is next door and we've moved onto the second floor." She said and I nodded. I turned around to face Nathan and saw that we was staring at my ass. I gave him a look that read 'what's your problem' and he smirked. Seriously what is his problem?! "Nathan. Help Gabriella with her bags." Mum said before walking into the kitchen. I turned back to Nathan to see him taking both my suitcases and carrying them down the hallway to my room. I walked after him and opened my bedroom door to see that it was all clean with new bedding on the bed.

"So this is what this room looks like." Nathan said while putting my suitcases down and looking around the room.

"Yes. Thanks for carrying my suitcases but can you now please get out of my room." I said while pulling the suitcases away from him.

"What if I don't want to leave though." He said while smirking at me.

"Well tough shit." I said and pushed him out of my room and slammed the door. I then face planted my bed. After maybe a minute I heard my phone ringing so I sat up and pulled it out of my bag. It was Taylor. I accepted the call and I heard her voice straight away.

"You didn't tell me you were back bitch!" She shouted happily.

"Sorry. I've only just got back and I was just about to phone you." I lied as a joke but she could tell.

"I know for a fact that you weren't about to call me." She said in a matter of fact tone which made me laugh. "So how are you and Dylan?" She asked. He was my boyfriend back in Dallas but he was an asshole.

"Um... we broke up." I said and then I sniffled. I don't know why because I was the one who broke up with him.

"Sorry I shouldn't have mentioned him. I've probably just ruined your day." She said sounding apologetic.

"It's fine, you didn't know." I replied and only then did I realise that I had started crying. I heard my door opened and saw Nathan standing there so I quickly wiped away the tears and put on my best fake smile but I could tell that he knew it was fake.

"Are you alright." Nathan asked and I nodded. "Well we are having dinner in about fifteen minutes. Just thought I should let you know." He said before walking out of my room. I then heard Taylor's voice shouting through my phone.

"Who was that?!" She shouted excitedly.

"That's my soon to be step brother." I replied.

"Oh right. So I think we should go out clubbing. How about tomorrow night? Does that sound good?" She asked

"Yeah that sounds great. I'll see you tomorrow night then." I replied before hanging up and began unpacking my bags. I seriously need to go shopping.

I emptied out the first suitcase and put all my clothes in my wardrobe before placing my laptop and iPad on my desk and putting my toiletries in my ensuite bathroom.

I opened up my other suitcase and pulled out all my new vinyls and added them to my collection that I had on the shelfs on my wall. I then put my phone in my back pocket and walked out my room and down the corridor to the kitchen where my mum, Anthony and Nathan sat. I joined them and we began to eat dinner. And for once, it felt like I had a whole family.
