Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 168
Emma's POV “I've gotta go meet Kev.” I said, as I got up from the side of the car where I'd been leaning. “Really?” Chase looked stupefied. “I thought we were having a moment here.” “We were. I've just gotta see Kev.” I replied in a really ‘obvious’ tone. “You don't have to, if you don't want to.” Chase was the only person I knew who could sound so pleading and commanding at the same time. “I want to.” I replied to him. “Really?” He looked shocked. “Yeah, really.” I confirmed. Chase turned his back on me. I wondered what was going through his head. He punched the car twice, before finally walking out, leaving me all there by myself. “This is bad.” I whispered to myself as I headed into the house in search of Kevin. The living room was cleared, like it hasn't just witnessed a really big party. The decorations were already taken out, and it looked more like a living quarters than an event center. I ran up the stairs in search of Kevin. Still hadn't prepared w

Emma's POV “What's up, Kev?” I asked him. “What do you think?” He replied to me “You're cold and distant. And your replies are kinda one off.” I explained. “Really?” He asked, again, somewhat absent-mindedly. I saw he was running some codes on his laptop. “You know, I didn't think you'd notice that.” “Why would you ever say that Kev?” I asked, taking my hands off him. I was beginning to get pissed, well, a little bit of guilt and annoyance. “I just wanted to get done with that particular section.” He said, as he turned the swivel chair to face me. “Alright. Everyone has their priorities.” I observed. “You know, that stuff you're trying to do, it can't work with me and I see through you.” He smiled. “Kevin, you're taking stuff from zero to a hundred. What exactly is it?” I asked. “Where have you been, Em?” He asked. “ You know, when he left the table, I thought it was just a coincidence that you mentally logged off from the dinner. But then you were able to p

Kevin's POV I had had such an embarrassing time at Chase's house. Like it couldn't get any worse I blamed myself for deciding to get on the plane with Emma. I really should've just stayed. “Sorry I woke you up.” I apologized, as Emma stirred while I packed my stuff. It was about 6:30 am, and I had just finished packing my stuff. “I was just gonna pack my chargers and cables, I didn't mean to wake you up.” I added. Em looked flustered and confused. Her eyes were quite red. “What's going on, Kevin?” She asked, rubbing her eyes. “Are you just tidying stuff up or you're packing?” “Emma, I've gotta be in Massachusetts before noon.” I said, as I tied my shoes up. My shoes were all set, and really, I was ready to go. I booked a last minute ticket for half the price right after Emma and I got done with our convo at midnight. I waited up until that point to accept the ticket, hoping things would turn out different. “Kevin!” She exclaimed like she couldn't believe her eyes.

Emma's POV “I'm sorry I could not resist the urge to drop by.” Chase said, as he leaned against the door post of the room Kevin occupied only minutes ago. “Just say you overheard us.” I shot at him, tired of his bullshit. “I really do not care that much, Em. Y'all overestimate yall selves.” He said, as he loudly ate a pack of Pringle's. “Give me that.” I said, as I grabbed it out of his hands, and headed for my room. The last few days have been stock full of emotional upheavals, and while I felt like shit for using Kevin that way, I was only glad I had one less person to deal with. “Hey,” Chase called after me as he followed me all the way to my room. “Can you just leave me be?!” I yelled at him, as I shut the door in his face. I was tired and exhausted, and wanted to be by myself. I half expected the door to still creak open, hopefully, Chase was in the mood to press on, but it didn't. I couldn't care less at that point, I just wanted to cry, and cry I did. I b

Chase's POV “Can we talk?” Emma asked, standing in my doorway. The last person I expected to see was her. She and Kevin had a little scuffle in the morning. I only caught on it while carrying my coffee from the kitchen to my room. It felt like the universe was gonna greet me with something more pleasant than coffee, their breakup! I felt high and happy until she screamed at me. Hadn't been more embarrassed in a couple of days. So I did what I knew best to do, pack my shit and leave. It's been too much shit I'd been through. On the drive to my place, I asked myself just how many ‘no’s, both subtle and direct, I needed to be told, to take a hint and leave. I hadn't been more resilient about anything like I was about losing Emma. But even that got tiring. I didn't want to force myself on her, if she wanted me, she'd come.. And she did come. “I don't know about that, Em.” I replied to her. “Well, I do.” She said, and banged the door. That shocked me. I didn't know what

Chase’s POV “You said you wanted me gone.” She replied plied, not slowing down. I had already almost closed in on her. She was just about to fetch her car keys and unlock the car when I caught her hand. “Emma, baby, please.” I couldn't hide my teary eyes anymore. I'd worn sun shades throughout the day, scared that I might see something I'd find triggering. But that was no use with her She was the alpha and omega of my sadness, only she could help me. “I didn't mean any of that stuff I said. You know I don't.” I begged, taking her head full of hair in my hands. “I don't know anything anymore, Chase. The rug has been taken from under my feet so fast, I'm finding it hard to find my balance.” Emma sobbed. “Emma, all I said wasn't true. I still love you like I always did. Everything I said to you, in that room,” I turned back and pointed to my bedroom window, “is a hundred and one percent true, and I still feel that way. I always have, always will.” “Chase, why were you

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

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

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
