Falling For My Stepbrother 1 ย ย ย Chapter 14
Emma's POV I screamed so loud, I allegedly fell back and fainted. He was literally the last person I wanted to see. I woke to my mom's face hovering over mine. โWhat the fuck is he doing here?โ I asked, feeling my head for the occurrence of any bumps, as I hit it. โHe's still here.โ I heard his voice. I went red on the cheeks. It didn't help that I was indulging in all those dirty thoughts and imaginations before he knocked. I felt so ashamed of myself. I didn't want a Kevin situation to happen anymore, but from that day, I knew it was going to be a hard promise to keep. โWho are you?โ I squinted in his direction. The light was too much for my eyes, but I could still make him out. He had changed into something really casual, and he looked like a freaking god. I was salivating like a dog who had seen bones. โI met your mom earlier. She's kinda cool. I think she'd be able to handle my dog of a father.โ He said. I never saw my mom give a faster reaction. I stared wide a

Emma's POV Time went by so fast. Mark married my mom and were living their happily ever after. She didn't even have to work anymore, Mark had us both sorted. We had even begun to talk about college. I wanted somewhere far from home. It had been over six months since we moved to the city, but Mark's house still didn't feel a lot like home. I lived like a robot, a shadow of myself. The only person who added color to my existence was Lily, who herself had many demons she was battling. Her parents divorce had dragged out to be really messy and was affecting her mentally. We got along really well, and had each other's backs. Things with Chase were still pretty much the same. He avoided me, and when he couldn't, bullied me. Lily and I had been the butt of every nasty joke, and she still refused to tell me what it was that turned Jessica, Chase and their friends against her. She was so guarded about it, everytime I mentioned it, she got angry and defensive. So I avoided stuff that

Chase's POVJessica was, in fact, I can't describe. She was a lot of things to me. We were just mutually fucked kids, and we connected through that. My dad was involved in stupid shit that claimed my mom's life. Her parents raised to be a supermodel, attractive enough for NBA players and other footballers. We had been attending the same school since I was ten. At first, we started off as friends. Then she hit puberty before me and started hooking up with boys, we still remained friends as most of the guys were quite out of my league. Then I hit puberty, and hit my growth spurt, and she remembered that I was a guy and not just a friend. We explored each other's new developing bodies in different corners in school, and nearly got busted a couple of times too. We became really close, the secrets we had with each other made us even closer. She made school a fun place, a nice getaway from my dad. And I was only too grateful for it. Her parents too didn't care about her visitors,

Jessica's POV I couldn't pretend to not be irritated by how frequently Chase branched out. What we had was a somewhat open relationship. And it was fine if he wanted to hook up with someone else from time to time But his taste in girls has been so disgusting. I'm the only reason anyone ever respected him. I was a fucking model, I trained my whole life to be one. I saw the way he had been looking at Emma and Lily, and I knew there was something more to it. He just never learned. Even when we bullied them, he was either somewhat held back, or went so far that I had to stop him. Once, he went as far as citing her as an example of Social misfit in the school magazine. I enjoyed it, but somewhere within me, I felt it was an itsy bitsy little too much. I let it go either way. Slapping me in the middle of the whole school was it for me. Chase was gonna pay for the trash he did, hard. โWhy would he even do that?โ Monica asked me. Monica had always been one of my girls. We've been

Emma's POV After Chase and Jessica had their big blow out, my life somewhat changed. The evil pumpkin who used to bully Lily and I suddenly turned our ally. Rumors even had it that their fight was over Lily and I. I didn't know what to make of it, but it was glaring that they were no longer on good terms, and it was a good thing, kinda. We still had Chase's attention, just not in the way we were used to. Lily was beginning to get worried, but I was long worried. He had even begun to act nice to my mom and his dad, and he was home more frequently. The upcoming senior trip seemed to take everyone's mind away from the existing beef, and I liked it. Lily and I were already talking about all the funny outfits we'd buy. We were going for DIFFERENT. She had also begun to feel bold enough to start sleeping over at times. I was happy to have someone I could really talk to in Mark's house. โSo are you gonna come later this evening? Let's go shopping in that boutique you mentioned.โ I

Emma's POV Jessica kept on looking at us. And I was already getting very uncomfortable. I picked clothes I didn't need just to get my mind off her. Unfortunately, as I expected, she began to walk in our direction. Jessica walked up to me, slammed the clothes out if my hands turned right back to meet someone on the queue and walked out. Lily, Grayson, who was far behind, and Chase just stared on as I picked all the clothes she poured. โI'm sorry.โ Lily said. I was red hot and teary. If I attempted to speak, I definitely would have burst out in tears. I put all the clothes back on their racks. There was one Jessica stepped on, I knew I had to pay for that. โKeys.โ I said to Lily, stretching my hand.In her confusion she gave me her house keys. โYour car.โ I said, holding her keys back for her to take. She clumsily took it and handed me her car keys. I went right out to wait in her car and cried my eyes out while waiting for them to finish up. Lily was feeling bad for

Emma's POV The look Lily finally settled for scared the shit out of me. She looked at me like I said I had been kissed by an ogre. I was starting to feel worse than I should. โChase kissed you?โ She asked again. โYes. And please stop being so loud. They can almost hear us.โ I was referring to Gray and Chase who were just a few feet away. โYou should know better than that, Emma.โ Lily sounded so off, I felt like I had pissed her. But it really shouldn't have been such a big deal. Lily was blowing it out of proportions, and it hurt. โWhat if it was a dare? Or a bet?โ People got together for all sorts of things. But there was a high possibility of that, something I never thought about. โIt can't be.โ I said, unconvincing. I didn't even believe in myself. โAlright, Missy. Whatever sinks your ship.โ Lily said rudely, flashed a smile at Gray who was already looking at us funny and focused on getting us home. We drove all the way in silence. Lily was somewhat stiff, bu

Chase's POV Emma tried so hard to avoid me throughout the first day of the trip. She stayed as far as she could away from me at the museum. Unfortunately, I was staying with Jessica too, cause we already booked the accommodation about three months before the trip. Jessica was throwing herself at me as shamelessly and annoyingly as she could. โDo you have more clothes?โ I asked as she walked into the other room in my suite which was supposed to be mine. โI do. But I'm dressing for the occasion.โ She replied, smiling very coyly โWhat the fuck does that even mean?โ I asked her. I was quickly getting pissed. She could've been more covered in a bikini. All Jessica had on was a thong and socks. โChase, do act like you don't see what I'm trying to do.โ She said. โI don't! Please tell me what it isโ I yelled at her. She was taken aback, but not for long. โYou apologized, for, you know, the stupid shit you pulled by slapping me in the public. Let's just say this is me fo

Emma's POV. โYou were gonna go in.โ He said, looking away. โI was.โ I replied, unshifting. He no longer had the courage to stare me down, and I no longer had the will to leave, โMIT looks good on you.โ He said. โThank you.โ I smiled, โI could say the same for you.โ โI see you've made new friends, well old ones,but you knowโฆโ He said. I chuckled within myself. Who'd have known that I could make the bad boy Chase unsure about me? โYeah, I had no choice.โ I murmured. โUhm, how are you?โ I asked, just out of courtesy, I told myself. I thought being brave and bold was gonna make me indestructible by him, but I was beginning to come off as antagonistic, and I didn't like it. Deep down, in the corners of my heart I hoped Kevin would never see, Chase occupied it. I wanted for him to close the distance between us like he'd once done. To treat me like his own. I was getting a little teary, so I dug my freshly manicured nail into my palm, I wasn't gonna cry, I could not.

Emma's POV โCome on, Patty can wait.โ Kevin held me closer. I thought I heard someone enter, but Kevi didn't give me headroom, and I didn't want to distract him. โAnything else?โ I asked jokingly, even though I really was so keen on getting back to Party. โYeah, let's hang out a while.โ He said. โKev, today is the D-day, it's what we're here for. I kinda have to be there.โ I protested. โFine then.โ He said, taking his arms away from around my waist. โCome on, Kev.โ I pulled him back, โyou are not and, are you?โ I asked. โIt just seems like things are a lot different than I felt they would be.โ He replied, looking away. โWhat does that even mean?โ I asked It was our first argument, and I didn't like it that it was happening at Mark's house. โEm, you're obviously with your family. I'm second place. I should've expected that. Maybe I'd have rethought traveling all the way here.โ Kev smiled. โYou don't mean that. Kev, we've literally been together, I only l

Emma's POV Two days, with Kev and Chase the house wasn't what I thought it would be. Chase was barely available, and when he was, he made sure he was extremely busy. Kevin, too, worked in the room Patty had arranged for him, so they had no reasons to cross paths except dinner time. I had an extensive talk with my mom about Kevin. She still really wasn't feeling him, but she was glad I'd moved on from Chase, it was mixed emotions for her. โThis is so good, Mr Norman.โ He smiled at the wine Chase's dad asked Patty to get. โThis old man knows good things when he sees one.โ He looked glaringly at my mom, but she avoided his eyes. The air between them was still a little weird, but they had to put up a show, for the rest of us at least, who had bigger things going on. I'd spent two days feeling like shit for not forcing Casey to come along with me instead of Kevin. In my defense, he said he wanted to meet my mom and properly apologize for all that'd happened in Starry. It seemed l

Patty's POV Emma and Kevin, as she called him, arrived without much fanfare. It'd been a minute since I saw her so happy. She wasn't my favorite person in the house, but I had grown to have a soft spot for her. โHow are you, Patty?โ She squealed and even threw her arms open. โI'm good.โ I smiled. โMeet Kev.โ She smiled, โKev, here's Party. Mark's longest serving home manager.โ โNice to meet you Ma'am. You're in really good shape too.โ The boy flashed his million dollar smile at me. He looked so good, the most pretty eye candy I'd seen in a while. โYou're welcome, Kevin.โ I said. โEveryone's inside.โ Mark and Linda have been attending to the event planners that Chase had coming to the house. With his arm still in a sling, there was very little he could do without Linda's help. The air around them was a bit icy, but they made it work. I hoped for both of their sakes that they fix what was between them. At least he wasn't cheating on Linda with her friends like he d

Chase's POV I'd still seriously been considering excuses for not showing up at the anniversary. It was six days to go. I woke up every morning to thoughts of it. Ding! Ding! My phone chimed. My phone was always on DND and only rang or chimed when it was someone on my favorites list messaging me. I still hadn't been able to bring myself to take Emma off the list. โWelcome everyone!โ, A text on a new group chat read. I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes, and looked at it again. It was just my Dad, Emma, and I. โWhat is going on?โ I asked him. I felt fear, annoyance and excitement. โWhy the group?โ I asked again. โIs that how you now greet your old man?โ He asked. โCome on dad, I'm not having a good morning.โ I said. โI need all hands on deck to give Linda the perfect first year anniversary, and you both are gonna help out, whether you like it or not!โ He yelled at me. โWhat if something came up? A laboratory session I can't miss? Or a presentation?โ I asked

Emma's POV โWhat do you mean next week?!โ I squealed as my mom broke the news to me. She and Mark were gonna be having their first anniversary in a week. โYeah.โ She breathed really deep. . โYou don't sound too enthusiastic.โ I observed. โStuff has been going on, Em. Didn't want to bother you.โ She replied to me. โNow I'm so bothered.โ I replied to her. It's been over a week since Kev and I officially got out of the friendship zone. Kev was explicit with the fact that he wanted more than just to be friends, and I think we'd gone beyond that too. โI shot him.โ She said, I felt like a bomb had just exploded in my head. This was the man who rescued us from the allegations in Starry. โWhat the fuck, mom?โ I yelled over the phone. I was home, and currently the only one in my apartment, so I could tell as loudly and freely as I wanted to. Kevin had begun to spend more time over, although for the bulk of it, he was on his work laptop. โDon't use the f word with m

Chase's POV โDon't ever think of that.โ My dads voice boomed over the phone. โI'm young and still strong.โ He boasted . I'd chipped in the possibility of him taking a break from his numerous businesses and just resting. โWhy are you so anti-rest?โ I asked. Me and the old man were only beginning to really get along. We were still fixing all the cracks in our relationship, carefully skipping over the lost pieces. โIt's just not the time.โ He groaned. We were on a video call. I saw his face squeezed every single time he had to lift his shot hand. โI've got a lot of stuff to make up to a lot of people.โ He said. โYou can't do that if you're dead.โ I reminded him. โYou sound just like your mother.โ He smiled, and looked lost for a while, snapping back only when the glass mug I mistakenly knocked off made a loud crashing noise. โLinda's great too.โ I said. โShe's a good woman.โ I chipped. โShe is.โ He agreed. Every morning I wake up, I bless my creator for giving he

Kevin's POV It'd been a month since Em and I redecorated my place. I appreciated her help around the house. It was beginning to look more of a house than an office space. I'd convinced her multiple times, to stay over, let us enjoy what we'd created, but one thing or the other always up, and fucked the plan up. Plus I had to travel to multiple places, and I was mostly away for the month I just got back from Melbourne, and I think I had the most romantic gift for her. I'd curated a photo album, a cute little pink one containing all the pictures I ever took when we were working on the house together I also had a box of preserved roses. The old lady tried to force it down my throat, and I felt it was a bit too unnecessary till I discovered what it symbolizes. I had it all arranged in the new Nissan Versa car I'd parked in the garage of the apartment. I told her I was gonna come a day after I actually planned, and I tipped Casey off massively, to reveal that Emma had a little we

Chase's POV โYou say this is a smart thing to do?โ I asked Kayla. โWhat do you think?โ The poor girl was probably too tired of being in my drama. โNever mind.โ I said. โI'll just do it later, I don't want the pressure.โ โThat means me.โ She put a hand on her chest and nodded in understanding. โI get it.โ โDon't take it that way.โ I said, holding her close, โIt'd just be too much for you, and I don't want that.โ I said. โI get it.โ She said, โI'll see you later then.โ Kayla stayed in the dorms, so she wasn't gonna be going out with me. We've kinda restricted ourselves to just school, and sometime, I visited her dorm. She never came to my apartment. Said it was still too raw on her. โTake care.โ I said, and let her go. We were done for the day, and it was already almost evening. I decided to stroll back to my place, since there was nothing to rush home to. โWhat's up?โ A bold girl said, looking at me and batting her eyelashes. That was literally the last atten
