Stepbrother No More

"Some say not everyone finds their soul mate in life because they didn’t wait long enough and gave up. The timing was off; each at different stages in life. Kyle always told me it would work out, that we would be together. Our meeting was unconventional. Since the moment we met, hooks were cast into our hearts, attaching us to each other out in the ethers waiting for that sliver in time, the monumental moment for the stars to align, when all would be made right. There was no denying the chord of our destiny."

The moment Kelly’s mother married again, her life changed in more ways she could ever imagine. First, she moved into a home the size of a castle and attended a rich prep elite school in Beverly Hills. Such new circumstances left her feeling alienated, except Kyle always made her feel welcome and like a best friend.

Kyle was the eye candy of every student. With movie star looks that would easily pave the way for his future stardom, he preferred to read and study film in hopes to become a one day renowned film Director.

He also preferred something else to study but the time was not right.

Over the years, their friendship grew and evolved to where they were the best of friends. Their favorite activity—watching hours of movies in their private theater room, just the two of them, side by side. Year after year, their favorite activity brought joy to their lives until a special birthday changes everything.

As Kelly went to sleep that night with a swelling heart so big, she prayed a special wish to God. Would He one day grant her earnest request?

This is a stand alone novelette. Enjoy!
