Welcome back ! The last chapter was pretty dramatic but I'd think I am sometimes.
I mean Blair getting engaged,who would've thought?
And April was about to propose,I mean...wow.
Anyways,these are my last 4 chapters coming out in a bang and I hope you guys enjoy them :)
Blair's POV
"This is all so exciting.I have so much thoughts on our wedding.We have much to plan." I was already looking at venues but Eric reaches out a hand to me.
"I know how excited you are,babe.We should tone this down until you've graduated.Plus we still have to tell our parents about this whole thing."
"I mean I've meet your Mom and she's so sweet.
I think she'd take it well.I'm just worried about my
dad.He gets protective over me and Sterling.Even farts when he's nervous." I joked but he wasn't playing.
"Maybe we should put out the wedding for another 2-3 years."
"Babe,what's wrong? I don't understand why you
want to put out." I moved closer to him,making
sure I'm right here.
"Maybe I didn't think it through.I mean with the whole business I'm setting up,I'm using my startup money I've been saving my whole life."
"I don't know if we can pull off a grand wedding,
Blair.With the costs and everything else,it's going-"
"Baby,calm down.It's going to be good.My parents can help finance our wedding as well but for better insurance,let's put it out."
"Really? You're not mad or whatsoever?" Eric clarified and I chuckled.
"I wanted to beat Sterling to it but eh.Let them have their little fairytale first and we'll have ours after.Plus,if this restaurant business is a success,
we'll save up for our future."
"So how's April holding up? I mean finding out about Sterling's secret job/identity, that must be pretty hard."
"Well,Sterling told me that talked for hours after that night.They're still together but they're just trying to patch up the wound."
"How about you go talk to April? You two seems to be close now."
"And say what? Oh,I'm sorry but I'm a part of this too.I also made my sister swore to never tell anyone even you,I'm such a horrible person.Please be my friend again." I mocked and Eric rolled his eyes.
"Just be you.Just talk to her and cheer things up."
"I mean it's good enough I've helped in their relationship but this is getting tiring.They should pay me."Â I huffed in frustration.
"But fine,we'll do it your way." I kissed him goodbye and head over to April's house.
Never been here before so this will be something surprising for April herself.
"Hi.Are you here to see April?" Mrs Stevens opens up the door and greeted me.
"Yes,is she around? I'm Blair by the way,Sterling's sister."
"Jean,please.Ah...I've heard good things of you from Sterling and April but she doesn't want to admit it.Come in,come in."
I stepped in and she showed me over to the living room.As much as how John fucked them over,
they still kept the house stunning.A solid 8/10.
"April! You have a visitor." Jean shouted and I could hear footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Blair,what are you doing here?" April asks in confusion,and here I am confused why she's still wearing her PJs in the afternoon.
"Well,I wanted to check in on you after everything that's happened."
"I'm good." She replied coldly.Icy queen apparently made a comeback.No Elsa but still.
"I'm just here as a friend.Not as a messenger to Sterling at all.Plus my boyfriend thinks it's the right choice."
"You mean your fiancé,I heard from Sterling from that night.Congratulations." April said,
giving a nudge.
"Well,apparently he doesn't want to plan it out now.We're actually putting off for 2-3 years."
"That's totally fine.Plus if you need help organising and arranging the caterers,florist and the-" I raised an eyebrow and she stopped herself.
"Right...I got carried away.Sorry.I just wanted to do it with my own wedding."
"You will.Sterling loves you,like crazy.Not
one day goes by that she doesn't mention,talks,think or even daydream bout you."
"I know we kept a secret from you and it was...not right.We're all sorry you had to found out that way as you watched Sterling literally put handcuffs on your dad.Sterling only wants what's best for you and I was just looking out for you."
"That's great,Blair.I mean it's not like I'm going to be mad at her forever, I just wanna know if there's anymore secrets."
"Then talk to her,and ask her.Sterling won't bite,or does she? Forget it,I don't want to know your sex life."
"You think so?" I nod and April smiled,pulling unexpectedly for a short brief hug.
We had a little bit more small talk before I went back home.
Sterling's POV
"Blair,I was thinking movie night.We could watch 'The Notebook' and eat nachos.What do you think?" I leaned against her door and Blair threw a pillow at me.
"No.That movie is only for people who just broke up or apparently presume to have been broken up...Sterling."
"You guys are not broken up.Just one of the many rough patches you guys go through almost every few months."
"It feels like we broke up,we've been texting way less and last night,we didn't get to face-time."
Blair rolled her eyes and looked back at her phone.
"Blair,I'm having a crisis here." Blair pushed me out of the room to the corridor and continued texting.
"You have a guest,Sterling.If you don't stop disturbing me,I will tackle you down." I scoffed as she closed the door behind.I walked back to my room and found April.
"Hey." She started out as she sat comfortably on the bed.
"Hey April.I didn't know you were coming over."
"Blair convinced me and we need to talk.Sit with me?" I joined her on the bed as we turned our bodies to be face to face.
"You know how closeted I am but every time I'm with you,Sterling,it feels like I can tell you anything.It should be the same with you as well unless I'm not providing you a safe space for you to
talk freely."
"No,I do feel safe with you,April.Every detail of my life,you've always known."
"Well,I wanted to know if there's anymore details that I'm missing out.Any life-altering or crazy shocking ones that I should at least be known to?"
"There is one more thing...It's about me,Blair and this whole family." There's no turning back on this now.
"Go ahead." April places a hand over mine,
ready to listen to what I'm about to confess.
"We're not sisters,we're cousins.Blair and I."
"Oh...wow.I mean when they said you were twins,I didn't see much of a resemblance."
"Hey,we can pull each other with a fake face masks and wigs.Remember that night? Anyways, the mom you just met is my aunt, not my biological mother."
"So Mrs Wesley is Blair's biological mother all along but even with the great chemistry, you guys are cousins.Didn't that freak you out?"
"I mean yeah in the beginning but after a while, we didn't really care that much."
"So where's your mom now?"
"She's in prison because she kidnapped me and her boyfriend with a tattoo thought it was a better idea to ask for more money from Mom and Dad."
"And she's there for a lifetime?" She questioned but I wasn't so sure myself.
"She's has a bounty on her and I guess so.She kind of burned an adoption center,like as act
of rebellion or something."
"I guess I understand where all that rebellion came from." April flirted but we had to focus on talking. "That's something,Sterling."
"I never told anyone that and it feels so great.Thank you for letting me share that with you."
April gave me a small smile. "Yeah."
"How about you? Any secret skeletons?"
"Apart from my father going to jail,and knowing that my mother isn't actually a homophobe and that I'm living moderately now ,not at all."
"How was it like growing up alone?"
"I've gotta admit being a lonely child sucks apart from the gifts I'd get from my parents.I didn't have anyone except myself,and I actually wanted a sibling.A little brother."
"Of course that didn't work out because my parents were too busy."
"How about a son?" I pointed out, and April looks up with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Are you saying that you want a son in the future with me?" April asks,and with those eyes,how could I say no.
"Definitely, love."Â I smiled,I didn't know if I should kiss her or not.
There's still a little tension and I seriously had to clear it out.
"See,the truth is I'm so in love with you,April.I'm
sorry for all the lying,and I know how it makes you feel especially what happened with your father."
"I get it,Sterling.You were looking out for me.We're going to be okay."
"Why can't people just tell the truth?" April muttered,looking me in the eye.
"Is that so hard?" I completed the sentence and we fell into each other's arms.
"Stay like this with me Sterling.I hate fighting."
