Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 77
Jessica's POV It felt so good seeing Chase humbled. It's what I've wanted for the longest time. “Did Chase come by?” Gray asked as soon as I called him to share my good news. “He did.” I replied. “How do you know?” I asked him. “He came earlier.” He said, and remained silent for a while. “Did you know?” He asked me. “Know what?” I asked. I didn't like the tone he was using on me. “Never mind.” He said. “Is there something you want to say to me?” I inquired, cause he sure as hell sounded like he did. “I said not to bother.” He objected, breathing heavily. “How's your application coming?” I asked him. Gray had applied for some modeling gigs. “Haven't checked my mail in a minute.” He muttered. “I think you should.” I suggested to him. “Thanks, bye.” Gray sounded weird as fuck. I rang Lily up countless times, but it kept redirecting me to her voicemail. I wondered where the hell she could've been. “Crazy bitch!” I muttered, trying her number for w

Lily's POV I was determined to make the best of that party, cause for me, it was the crest before the dip. I knew what I was doing, very well. “Emma, I'm just gonna take this call.” We had been ‘banging up this club’, as Emma put it. Emma was a man magnet, I couldn't even keep tabs of how many men I had to ward off. If Emma's mom thought people who partied in the daytime as jobless, then we were quite a burden on the country's GDP cause there were a lot of us. I eased my way, among the teeming crowd of butt shakers, and dry humpers.The DJ was killing it, and everyone was feeling him. The transitions were so smooth that they made the crowd go wild. I was so sad I had to miss I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. It was one of my favorite ever. I didn't even check the caller ID, I just picked the call up. Hearing Jessica's voice on the other side blew me off my high. Jessica was a fucking wrong choice, and I hoped that despite how fogged and clouded my thinking was, I passed

Lily's POV “Do what?” I asked, pretending to not know what he was talking about. “You know what?” He said, keeping his eyes on the road and his hand on the steering. “I'd rather we have this talk when Emma's awake.” “I want to tell her myself.” I replied to him. “Alone.” I added. “Nope. You're gonna tell us.” He said, stressing the ‘us’. “I'm not comfortable…” I objected. “I wasn't comfortable with everyone seeing my dick on a big screen either.” He retorted. “That wasn't just me.” I confessed. “I never said it was.” He shot back. “Could we be less cold, you know, cause of Emma?” I asked. Emma was an excuse, it was because of me. My heart was heavy enough, it felt like I had a shit ton of stuff there instead. “No.” He replied, snidely. “Alright.” I was done with having that conversation, I didn't want it. “This isn't the way home.” I observed. I was half sober, but still very conscious. “You just realized?” He asked, sarcastically. “Matter of

Lily's POV “Why did you do this to me?” Emma cried, staring me straight in the eye. No excuse at that point seemed to make any sense. “I called you my friend.” She continued, “friends are supposed to have each other's backs, friends don't treat friends that way.” “Emma, I know, I wish I didn't.” I cried, Gray was holding me back but there was no more point to the secrecy, I wanted to come out, and I wanted it to be all out. “Were you jealous?” She asked me. I suddenly ran out of words, well, my tongue got stuck. “I was.” I admitted, Gray flinched beside me, but I paid him no mind. “If I'm gonna be honest I was never really into him. He was an eye candy, quite alright, he was also the guy every girl wanted, he was attracted to me, I didn't even have to do too much. I basically just went with the flow.” I explained to her. “It didn't seem like you were going with the flow when you called me by his name.” Gray objected, taking his hands off me like I had suddenly gr

Grayson's POV When I called Jessica and sent her Chase's address, I meant it to be just three of us, talking out our shit. The past two weeks had been quite dramatic, and I was freaking ready to call it all off. I had lost it all, Lily, everything really, everything. “Jessica, please you have to be reasonable.” I begged her, as Lily approached us. “Get the fuck away from me.” She said, looking at me. “Why do these stupid riders take so long?” She muttered, tapping her phone, senselessly. I was tired of being shunned. I grabbed the phone out of her hand, and reach. “If it's a joke, stop it.” She warned, without looking up. “It's not, Jessica.” I said, bringing her head up to mine. “You can't possibly be willing to throw what we have away over this.” I added. Lily's presence interrupted our conversation, but only solidified my argument, to me at least. “I know she's sorry, she even just said it.” I reiterated. “The thing with you, Gray,” She said, touching my ches

Chase's POV Gray was gone, leaving Emma and I to ourselves. the one thing I had been looking forward to. “What was that about?” I asked her.She did not respond. I found that fishy as fuck. And I knew for the next part of the night, I needed to be high. I shoved the lip of the bottle in mine and threw the bottle away, caring less about the shattered shards of glass. “I'm talking to you, Emma!” I screamed. She startled and jumped involuntarily. I saw her breathe faster, and lick her lips. “It's nothing.” She replied weakly. “We were just, uh, talking.” She lied. “I miss the old you, Emma.” I said, collapsing on a one seater. “The one you embarrassed?” She asked, suddenly finding her voice. “Hell nah!” “Matter of fact, I do not.” I said, she looked up, confused. “I don't miss a girl with entanglements in another city.” I said. “Emma, I remember mornings where my head didn't hurt, mornings that really felt good. It was not on those mornings I got texts like this.

Emma's POV I was so freaking pissed and ready to be in bed. It didn't help that I was emotionally spent and had been crying almost non-stop for about two hours. Funny shit, and something I won't ever admit to anyone but myself, I wanted to spend more time with Chase. The disrespect was getting over the roof, and I think I had scores to settle with my mom. I admit to never telling her the full details because of Mark. I felt she was gonna do something silly out of annoyance. It was more than just salting up my wounds when Chase confirmed that she did. Why could she have acted like she didn't know anything about it? Why didn't she say anything?I kept mulling over those thoughts in the car with someone I was highly attracted to, and also very repulsed from. I stole glances at Chase, who looked so sinfully sexy. I felt so much desire for him. I knew it had to be the drink. There was no way he was really that goddamn handsome. He looked like perfection. I was almost beginning to f

Emma's POV Nothing mattered anymore. Not the curfew, not anything. Lily was gone. A joke, a really big joke. I sat, almost lifeless myself, outside the hospital. I was having trouble connecting it all. Life was cruel to me. I kept mulling about how horrible my existence was, stopping only to laugh when my brain made the cruel joke that I no longer had to avoid her. She was gone. The universe had done my job for me. It was even funnier to think that I had wished only about two hours ago, to never see her again. I felt like shit. The air in my lungs was stuck, and breathing got increasingly difficult. I thought I was done with the hardest part of the night when we had all those confessions, or confrontations, whatever. Only for that to happen. “Please let's go home.” Chase broke into everyone else's mourning. I cuddled her brother, and he rested his head on my chest. The little boy was a little too fatigued, and had slept off. Tear marks on his face reminded me of how muc

Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 164
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.

Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 158
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.
