Emma's POV “Bold of you to drop by.” I said as I let him in. “I know you must be mad at me.” He apologized. Kevin had some anti blue ray glasses on that made him look the role of some tech wizard who hardly ever saw sun or the outside world, and had their face buried in their laptops and monitors and cellphones He had a coat on too, for fashion sake, cause it wasn't too practical as the weather was quite warm. He looked handsome as ever, and his pink lips looked a little too lickable. Just his skin was quite pale. It was our first interaction since the date. I'd over-thought the whole thing so badly, I already had about five hundred things in my head I must've done wrong to make him not wanna hit me back. It's been about three days since we went out, and we hadn't spoken since then. “Emma, I've been in a bit of a crunch, and I realize now that the least I could've done was text, but if my word is anything you go by, I've been counting down till this minute.” He looked tir

Chase's POV “What other bad ideas have you got?” I asked Kayla, and she gave me a playful lunch on the chest. “If that's what you see it as , I promise you they're quite a lot.” Kayla replied, laughing. She'd just suggested we joined a club or a team on campus. And I'm not gonna deny that it made perfect sense, seeing that I had so much spare time on my hands. “How was your weekend by the way?” She asked. I couldn't exactly tell what she was expecting to hear, but it wasn't fun, at all. I spent almost all of it considering reaching out to Emma. It'd been an awfully long period of time. “Just a text.” I said to myself repeatedly. Taking walks, cooking, and actively trying to get my moms off the thought only served to keep my mind on it. and hunting for a pet couldn't take my mind off Emma. I wondered how she'd be blending into one of the biggest schools in the USA. We were supposed to be navigating the intimidating world of college side by side. Side by side did not mean

Emma's POV “Didn't think I'd see you today.” I said as Kevin waved at me. “Especially not on campus. Where's Casey?” I asked, cause I thought they'd be together.We hadn't spoken since Kevin and I met at her house. “She's in Chicago.” He said, closing in on me. I got a whiff of his signature scent and it made me feel at home instantly. “Really?” She never told me anything like that. And I hadn't seen anything like that on her socials. “Yeah.” He confirmed. “It's just us.” He added. “Why are you here by the way?” I asked him. “I don't belong to this campus?” He asked, looking at me and smirking. “Quite literally, you don't.” I replied, laughing. “Would you prefer I weren't here?” He asked. “I think so.” I joked, hugging him. “I know you don't mean that.” He hugged me back. “I don't.” I replied, truthfully. “How have you been, babygirl?” He asked, taking a handful of my hair. “Thinking.” I said. “About me? Kevin joked. “I really hope you ne

Chase's POV “What are you thinking? She asked me. “I won't say I can even do that right now.” I replied truthfully. “I'm here with you, Chase.” She reminded me. “Let's just go in.” It's not like I was gonna fly home immediately, and I was sure my dad wouldn't even want it. “You think you can handle a class right now?” She asked. “Positive.” I replied, and wiped my face. It's the first time I experienced sweating in a fully air-conditioned room. The class was a blur, my head was in a jam. As much as I didn't totally fancy him, it didn't mean I wanted anything like that to happen to him. “You have a text.” She said and handed my phone back. ‘Your dad's a tough motherfucker’ Emma's mom's text read. I put the phone away again, since I already was gonna call her after class. “Good news?” She asked, looking at me expectantly. “I guess.” I replied to her. “Fingers crossed.”Kayla said and smiled. The rest of the lecture was held in total silence, and she

Emma POV “I'm not gonna lie, I expected more brazen advances, I didn't even know if keeping contact with you made any sense. You seem like a totally different person from what I knew at Starry, and I'm ashamed to admit to myself that I might have villianised you a little too harshly.” I revealed to him. “I'm glad to see I made your list of worries.” He smiled. “You can't be serious.” I said, disregarding him. “I am.” He replied immediately, “it just means you think about me. That way I'm sure it's not one sided.” “Alright.” I looked away. The tears in my eyes had dried a bit, but it didn't mean that I was feeling a lot better than I was a few minutes ago. “You know,” Kevin started, carefully placing my hand on the bench, “sometimes I want to leave you alone.” He said. He looked so serious, and I wondered where that was coming from. What have I done again? “Sometimes I feel like I'm holding you back.” He explained. “You're in college you're gonna meet a spectrum

Chase's POV “I never understood why the lights had to be blue, or red.” I said to Kayla as we made an entry.It'd been a chaotic hell of a day. The scare of losing my dad was far more than I thought it would be. “That's herd mentality, isn't it?” She asked. “Yeah.” One thing that endeared me more to Kayla was how sometimes, she took the words straight out of my mouth. “I think it's just so everyone can do their thing comfortably.” She replied to me. “I used to like the sound of ‘their thing’.” I said, smiling. I wore a dark bomber jacket, gray tee underneath, black jeans, and some clean suede boots. Threw on some shades to top it off. Casual but sharp. “There's a lot of the big girls here today. I hear her dad is Mayor.” Kayla said, pointing to a girl in the far left. “That's interesting.” I replied even though she might not have heard my voice over the blaring music. “Just loosen up.” She smiled, and slipped her hand into mine. I took it, cause it was comfor

Emma's POV “I'm almost led to conclude that you have similar taste with someone I know.” I said as I entered his furnished high rise apartment somewhere in the heart of Massachusetts. Kevin was leaving the life. I wondered why he'd be bothered about college kids, even though he was supposed to be one. “Well, they've got high taste and expect their employees to too.” He explained, The home was digital and all it took was a fingerprint house security unpick to open, and voice commands to turn things on and off. It's the first time I'd been in such an apartment. “You really are the only one here?” I asked. The place looked a little too spacious. “That's unless you want to keep my company.” He replied and went into some inner roomI busied myself with looking around. The house was just splendid. It felt like heaven. I understood that his home had to be extra comfortable, cause it was both a home and an office. “I'm happy for you, Kevin.” I said as he re-entered. He br

Chase's POV “There's no reason to pull that stunt you did.” I said to Kayla as we stepped into the car. It was already a few hours till dw. The city was a lot quieter than it used to be. My eyes were heavy, and all I wanted so badly was to rest, but that would take another few days. “I didn't think we were gonna be addressing this here.” He said and looked out. “Kayla, I really didn't mean to embarrass you, I just need Chris to know that we aren't a thing.” I stressed. “I think most of the time, it's just you trying to convince yourself.” Kayla was so mad, she looked straight out of the other window and gave at least a minute before responding. “It just would've made sense if you told me about all of them. They're pretty nice guys and I know we'd make a good science club. .” I reiterated. “Chase, I agree.” It's the first time she looked at me. “It's just, sometimes, you make it seem so bad a thing to even be mistaken as yours.” “Kayla,” I took her hands that were

Emma's POV “Welcome. I've got wine.” I said, and sprang up to my feet as soon as Kevin got close enough to me. I didn't enjoy the rush of blood to my nether regions at the sight of him and smell of his cologne, but really, my body had a lot to do in coming to terms with my mind and heart. “Not too happy to see me.” He said and smiled sadly, looking away. “Would you rather be alone? I'd just drop this and be on my way.” He held my keys up, before tossing them gently to my reading table. “You're breaking me, Kevin.” I managed to say. “I don't even know where we are, I don't even know where to start, you can't blame me for acting like this. Even though I genuinely think wine would help.” I said, looking down. I didn't have the mind to look Kevin in his face. I felt so shitty. This must've been how Chase felt every single time he fucked up. It hurt so bad being on that other half of a relationship drama. As horrible as it is to admit, I'd rather be the one cheated on. I just cou

Emma's POV “I think you know where your keys are.” Chase looked me in the eyes. His blue eyes were no more sexy, they were icy. “We can take it from here, Dave.” I turned to the uber guy, dismissing him. “To think that you're the one who was so concerned with how I'd handle Kayla!” Chase screamed. “I think you should know that I didn't think this was gonna happen!” I yelled back at him. I wasn't known to be the noisy neighbour, and I didn't want Chase to make me be seen as one, so I entered my apartment, which was stuffed full of flowers and hampers and gifts, a note on my reading desk which I snatched up immediately, and a wine on my bed. Gosh! It was so sexy. I didn't know how to feel. Kevin really went out of his way. What I didn't understand was why he'd do that, knowing when he left, he left me to Chase, and really, the outcome was inevitable. “I see y'all have a fun night planned, I wouldn't want to interrupt any plans you've made.” Chase said, with his hand

Emma's POV “Is it just me, or is this trip actually unnecessary?” I asked him, as we boarded a flight back to MA. “Come on!” Chase said as he took my hand. “You know it is. We're not planning to accumulate a lot of school work, are we?” He smiled. We didn't have to wait with the business and economy passengers, cause, well, we're first class. “Every single trip to reality sucks so much.” I whined. Chase held my hands tightly under his, maybe ensuring I wasn't gonna run away, and it's not like I wanted to either. “We have to keep taking it.” He said and sighed. “You really do not know much about being supportive.” I muttered and just let myself be led like a sheep to the slaughter. “Come on, Em.” He said, still not taking his eyes off the road, “You know everyone's just doing what they have to do.” Chase said. “Do I have a choice?” I whispered to myself. I wasn't mad at Chase, I was just angry that our little baecation was over and that we were gonna be separate

Emma's POV “Hey mom!” I was overfilled with excitement and anticipation. From what Chase briefed me, we had a whole lot of fun stuff to do. It was quite risky that we were taking such a break from school, but it's nothing Chase's dads connections couldn't fix. He said that we were gonna have fun, and he was gonna make sure of it. “How are you, sugar?” She asked. It'd been a minute since I saw my mom that happy. “Never been better.” I replied a little too enthusiastically, I was so happy to be away. Somewhere no one knew me. “You look it.” She smiled. “Why did you not call me? Forgot about your woman in all your boy dramas?” Unfortunately for me, the phone was on speaker, and Chase wasn't far. Which definitely meant he was paying more than the usual attention. “Come on, mom!” I chided. “It didn't exactly end the way we thought.” I was trying to be as cryptic as possible, if I had my way, I'd have avoided the whole topic all together. “Tell me.” She said, looking s

Emma's POV “Do you wanna come in with me?” Chase asked. The answer was gonna be hell yeah, but because of what happened in the past-less than twenty four hours ago, the question was necessary. “Yes.” I answered affirmatively. “Are you sure you're gonna be comfortable here?” He asked again, looking at me doubtfully. “I'll try.” I replied. “That's not such a good thing.” He remarked, heavy on his amateur British accent, taking a step back. “I can't help it. It's too many memories.” I apologized. “Don't do that.” He said, and appeared to think pensively. “Let's go somewhere. What do you say?” He looked at me. “What?!” I asked. Can't lie, I was shaken a bit. “Just like that?” I blinked so hard and fast. “Yeah. Somewhere different. Somewhere we could be ourselves. Somewhere we can start on a fresh slate and get back on our feet.”He couldn't have sold the idea to me any better. “Uhm, I,uhm. Is that possible?” I asked. The sun was so bright, I had to squint, and

Emma's POVDon't even ask why I walked out of Chase's house, cause I couldn't give myself a sensible reason. I just wanted to be away from there. It felt like something was haunting me. I had a troubled sleep, matter of fact, I had no sleep at all that night. I tossed and turned and cursed myself out for being so trashy. I kept wondering if I was cursed. Could I just not mess my own happiness up? I wanted to do something desperately. It was the day after and I was still the only one in Mark's house. It gets lonely real fast when no one is home. “You've gotta do something, Emma.” I said to myself as I sat alone in Mark's big ass living room. Confused and ashamed, but ready to make things right, I hopped into the easiest car to back out of the garage, and once again, was on my way to Chase's house. As I drove, I thought of a million things I could say. Really, just anything to explain my behavior the previous day, but nothing came to my mind. I could not even convince myself t
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 176
Chase's POV “Fuck!” I didn't understand why Emma was in such a rush to get away from me. We literally were just unloading our hearts content to each other. Was she bored? Tired of me? Did she see something that triggered her? She wasn't even with her phone. I'd have concluded that she got some type of news. Two days after my dads anniversary dinner, and I was still in Starry, against my own will. Having sworn to leave town, immediately after the dinner, with all traces of me gone if Emma didn't come into my life, I surprised myself. For every single thing I thought could never be, life kept sending it my way. Emma and I had sorted our issues, but she wasn't speaking to me. I woke up as early as 6:00am, checking my phone for texts from her constantly, and there were none. I wondered what I did to deserve the cold treatment again. It's one thing to be in someone's bad books, it's another thing not to know why. I thought long and hard of what to do. But no sensible ideas wer
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 175
Emma's POVThe person I was at Chase’s house wasn't the regular me. I was feeling a million things and I wanted anything, anything at all, that would make me feel even just a bit better. Being that close to him, saying everything I said was a new feeling. My heart was racing and my throat constantly ran dry. “Can I admit something I think of sometimes?” I asked Chase. “Yes.” He said, really enthusiastically. I thought to myself if he'd be that hyped up if he knew what was on my mind, but since I'd concluded that I'd stop keeping stuff I thought to just myself, I said it. “You might not be too enthusiastic if you knew the shit that's about to fly out of my mouth.” “Come on, Em.” He said. “I don't fancy when you refer to yourself that way.” “Okay, okay.” I said, putting my hands up in surrender. “What if Gray and Lily weren't there?” I asked him. Chase looked at me, for about ten seconds, his bright blue eyes were beginning to get their spark. Instead of being terrified
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 174
Chase’s POV “I was about to ask if I ever made you doubt that, but I remembered I have, over a thousand times.” I said, shooting myself in the foot. “People change, Chase. I believe you can too.” She said like she was holy or something. “Come on girl, don't treat me that way.” I played along. “Can we sit?” she asked, pointing at the chairs I'd already wrapped. “Sure we can,” I said, “tear them off.” “What were you gonna do, really?” She asked her. “I don't know, actually, and I'm not even lying. The plan was to be away from everywhere you were.” I replied, truthfully. “Do you still feel that way?” She asked me. “Come on!” I said. “You know that's not possible.” “Just checking in to make sure, really.” She remarked and looked away.. “Can I go now?” I asked her if I could ask my own questions. “How do you think life would have been if both of us ended up in MIT?” I asked her. “I know it'd be great, for sure. I also know it'd be straining, maybe a
