Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 18
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. “So are you gonna come later this evening? Let's go shopping in that boutique you mentioned.” 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. “I'm sorry.” 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. “Keys.” I said to Lily, stretching my hand.In her confusion she gave me her house keys. “Your car.” 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. “Chase kissed you?” She asked again. “Yes. And please stop being so loud. They can almost hear us.” I was referring to Gray and Chase who were just a few feet away. “You should know better than that, Emma.” 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. “What if it was a dare? Or a bet?” People got together for all sorts of things. But there was a high possibility of that, something I never thought about. “It can't be.” I said, unconvincing. I didn't even believe in myself. “Alright, Missy. Whatever sinks your ship.” 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. “Do you have more clothes?” I asked as she walked into the other room in my suite which was supposed to be mine. “I do. But I'm dressing for the occasion.” She replied, smiling very coyly “What the fuck does that even mean?” 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. “Chase, do act like you don't see what I'm trying to do.” She said. “I don't! Please tell me what it is” I yelled at her. She was taken aback, but not for long. “You apologized, for, you know, the stupid shit you pulled by slapping me in the public. Let's just say this is me fo

Chase’s POV “I used to be a two ladies man.” Fred said. “It sounds so dumb to me when I say it now, but I really did believe it then.” “What changed?” I asked him. “I see you're impatient, just like the old me. Matter of fact, you remind me of myself as the seconds pass. “I don't know if that is a compliment.” I responded. “Oh, it is. You're finding yourself, it sure is.” Fred replied. “It took a couple of STDs to quit it, and seeing her broken too. I infected her a couple of times, so she decided to call it quits.I broke down for two months. My man here held the business for me. Then I went clean. “That's fucked up man. I feel so bad for her.” I replied to him. “Well, that was her from the past. She's with a man who breathes her exhale, and eats off the palm of her hands.” He said proudly. “All you're doing is rubbing it in my face.” I replied to him. “I don't mean to, young man. All I'm saying is, I don't even know what I'm saying, I just want to get out o

Chase's POV I was hard as a rock when I left Emma's room. I had never walked out on a temptation that hard before. I’ve had sex with almost all the girls, a statistic I used to be only too proud of until recently, strangely. I idled a bit in the lobby, waiting for my erection to go down. As soon as it started to wane, I straightened out and took the elevator downstairs. The elevator opened to Mr Rudd and Jessica kissing. I looked away, waiting for them to step out, which they did, embarrassingly. I wasn't supposed to be annoyed at seeing Jessica with Mr Rudd, but somehow, I was. I got to the receptionist, and apparently the young lady who kept staring and smiling at me had ended her shift and was replaced by a man, who gruffly said there were no more rooms, muttering something about high schoolers and being used to having things their way. I took off my ID and headed straight for the bar. It was cup after cup, then bottle after bottle, I mourned everything I lost and stood t

Emma's POV Chase was fucking mad. Like I hadn't had a bad day enough. All I wanted to do was eat and chill, before he dragged his stupid self to my room. I didn't know how to feel. I had never been with him alone, ever, not even at the house because he was barely home anyway. He kissed me and took me to the bed, only to lean over me to get his coat.My cheeks were red already, and so were my tits when I undressed to pleasure myself for the first time. He left me high and dry. As soon as he walked out of my room, I rushed to the door, and picked it. It didn't swing open till the next day, when it was time for our departure to heaven knows where. I didn't even open up for the waitress who brought my food up. He probably thought me too unattractive to continue. I threw all his flowers on the bin and put the chocolates in my bag, to give it out to children wherever I met them. As soon as he banged the door, my senses returned. The ones that left when I started to nurse thoughts o

Chase's POV I was so mad at the stupid shit Jessica did. I was more angry at myself. I still couldn't believe I did it. I couldn't even face myself in the mirror. I looked like what I imagined my enemy to be. Jessica had bragging rights, not just over Emma, but me too. “Emma, I swear it was nothing.” I walked briskly towards her. Emma kept switching lanes, so did I. I forgot to catch the name of the orphanage, but the children were already looking at us weird. “Emma, please listen to me.” I begged her. Right in front of me, she took out the chocolates I gave her and handed them to the little girls who were staring at us. They thanked her chirpily and hid them away in their gowns. “That was weird, right?” She looked at me. “Yes.” I replied enthusiastically. At least she talked to me. “As I was saying…” “I'd rather talk to Jesic than talk to you.” Emma faced me abruptly and said. Jessica was literally her worst enemy. “Please, just hear me out.” I said. She too

Emma's POV “We are both hurt. I think it's better we realize that and stop shaming the other person. Emma, you're just as damaged as I am.” Chase said. “That's not rocket science, Chase. Isn't this how you leave everyone you've been with?” I asked, “Broken and damaged?” “That's unfair, Em. You keep skipping the fact that there are always two sides to anything.” He replied to me. “You think I did, Chase?” I looked at him in his sinfully sexy blue eyes I still hadn't gotten an antidote to, not even the anger I felt, “All I did was allow you. I made you do all you did to me. In a way, I even enabled you.” “That's untrue, and you know it.” He replied to me. “I've talked about this, over and over. In my head and out of it, and it's still the same conclusion I reach.” I responded to him. “If ‘out of your head’ in any way refers to the bastard up there, I don't think I want to hear it.” I replied to her. “You've gotta get over yourself, Chase.” I said. “There's life

Chase's POV “You're still here, Em. It means you're interested.” I said. “I'm not comfortable here.” She said in a low voice. “I'd be in the garage, meet me there.” I said. “Maybe this is your time to show how low you regard me.” I let go of her hand which I had in mine, doing it both lightly and seductively. I knew I walked with such swagger, such essence that couldn't betray how scared I felt deep inside. Maybe she'd realize that I wasn't worth shit, and just go upstairs to meet her little boyfriend. I sat in my favorite of my dad's lot, the black mustang I saved Emma's ring in. That particular car had so many memories. I wanted to be in. I checked the time on my Patek, it was a few minutes to midnight. The estate gate was gonna be locked by 00:00, and if I couldn't make it out by then, I'd be stuck with Em and that bastard. 23:53, I had begun to get antsy. It'd be really unfortunate if I left, and Em eventually came down. I kept telling myself to calm down and b

Emma's POV “Can I trust you?” I asked Chase. I was mentally drained. Having played the good daughter throughout the anniversary, I wanted to catch my breath. Little did I know I had just been walking straight into Chase’s arms. “You know you can, Em.” He said, enthusiastically. “I'd hold your secret against me, Em. I wouldn't even tell myself.” His eyes mirrored mine, tired, hunger of the soul, and exhaustion. I couldn't believe that it was the same person who acted like I didn't exist last night. “I don't know where I stand with Kevin, really.” I said what I'd forbidden myself to. I made a deal with my mind to never say it. Just so I didn't believe it. The more I said something, the more I was forced to believe. “Start from the point where you left me, Em. I want to know it all.” He said, looking downI hated when Chase had that pensive look on his face. It felt like he was just a slight provocation away from murder. “After us,” I started, my mind was a bit foggy

Chase's POV “What did you do that for?!” Emma yelled after landing me a slap to the cheek. “I already said I wasn't gonna let you go.” I replied stubbornly. “Chase, my arm is hurting.” She cried, referring to the arm I'd been holding. I felt like a nasty person. Maybe it was the universe providing answers to the question I'd asked so many times, “Am I not good enough for her?” Well, I now knew I was too violent, too relentless, too impulsive, I rarely rethought my decisions, I bent everything to my will, things had to suit me, always. And those were all the things Emma stood against. “Emma, I'm a damaged guy, and I know it's really not your job to fix me. I'm a sorry project who should've belonged to my late mom and my dad who's now a happily remarried man. I get it. No one wants a project. But this is me swearing that I'd never hurt you, Em. I've learned. I do better for myself these days.” I said, frantically. Emma was rubbing her arm where I grabbed her, a sorry rem

Chase's POV. “It's not good that I'm too close to you, Chase.” Emma cried. Her eyes were already tearing up, and her face wet. Her rosy cheeks were beginning to peek from beneath the light make-up. “Why, Emma?” I asked her, letting my mouth say all the things my heart felt. “Am I so bad?” I asked. “I never said anything like that.” She answered. “So what is it?” I asked, exhausted. “Why do you want to be away from me so bad? Why do you treat me with such a long spoon? You can't deny missing me, Em. I see it in your eyes. What is holding you back?” I dared reach for her trembling hands, and she didn't pull away. It was a good thing. “Chase, I just still find it so hard to process. I'd rather think about things that hurt me, than process the whole thing. The past year has been the most tumultuous part of my life yet. I'm so fucking drained, I just need peace.” She said, “And you think that description doesn't fit me.”I asked, against my better reasoning. I then remi

Chase’s POV“I didn't think you'd be here.” She said,“I could say the same.” I replied to her Emma was the last person I thought who'd want to catch a break from the ceremony.She was at the center of it all, and really did well at her job of role playing a perfect daughter.“It's too much.” She replied with a low voice.“What is?” I asked, clearing my throat. “The atmosphere.” She explained, kicking the grass in her stilettos. Her legs looked like they must've been hurting. “Here.”I gave way for her to sit on her favorite swing. I could never take that away from her. “Thank you.” Emma was being her generic self, the side that she showed everyone else. Shy and contained. But I didn't like that. I liked that Emma I fell for, headlong. “It's nothing to Chase’s POV “I didn't think you'd be here.” She said, “I could say the same.” I replied to her Emma was the last person I thought who'd want to catch a break from the ceremony.

Chase's POV I wished I could remain busy throughout the day. A time to rest meant a time to think. I was under the same roof as Emma, like I'd been wanting, but we were yet so far apart. The flowers were an ill thought decision, but I had to do something. Being in the same house with Emma for over three days was beginning to mess with my mental health. “You shouldn't have done that.” I said to myself. If only Emma had kept it a family thing and didn't have that one over, things would have been a lot easier. I intentionally left a note out of the flower delivery, but I knew she recognised the sender, irregardless. Before I knew it,my 5:30 alarm went off, and I had to throw on my tux as fast as I could. It'd be great if my dad and Linda got down to a full audience waiting for them. It was a really big deal for my dad, so big he had made arrangements for his helicopter to pick them both at ten o'clock. Linda was wearing a slick floor length satin dress in emerald green, paired

Emma's POVI decided to see my mom before the dinner. I didn't care if it was right or wrong, but I'd barely seen her all through the day and I was dying to know how she was holding up. Maybe an escape for myself was the other motive, but primarily, I wanted to know how she was doing. “Hey mom.” I said, pushing her door open. It almost felt like it was her wedding all over again. Mark was going all out. And I didn't know why it had to be that big for a guest list of just sixteen people. “This is a lot.” I smiled. “It is.” I saw the woman beneath all the makeup, hair glam, and accessories. She was still just my mom. “Can I have a moment with my daughter please?” She referred to everyone else in the room who wasn't me, and they, by my rough headcount, were about eight. “We can spare only about half an hour.” A kind lady who looked like she was in her thirties said, She had an outrageous makeup done. While it looked good, edgy, classy on her, I hope that wasn't gonna be my

Emma's POV. “You were gonna go in.” He said, looking away. “I was.” I replied, unshifting. He no longer had the courage to stare me down, and I no longer had the will to leave, “MIT looks good on you.” He said. “Thank you.” I smiled, “I could say the same for you.” “I see you've made new friends, well old ones,but you know…” He said. I chuckled within myself. Who'd have known that I could make the bad boy Chase unsure about me? “Yeah, I had no choice.” I murmured. “Uhm, how are you?” 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.
