TESSIE'S POV

As soon as Evan stopped his car in our driveway, I grabbed my pouch and made my way outside. My evening had turned bittersweet all because of him. At least now my mind wasn't overrun by thoughts and all I could do was smile.

I bid him goodnight but before I could walk two steps away from the car, he got out and ran after me.

"Let me walk you to the door," he stated. "You said that no one is home so, I want to make sure that you get in safe," he added the moment I hesitated.

"Okay," I smiled.

The house was deserted as expected and the lights were out. Even the porch light. I had to use my phone's flashlight to look for the keys. I didn't like darkness. The intensity of it always gave me the creeps so having Evan there was an advantage. I finally breathed the moment I got inside and switched them on.

Evan stood outside the door indecisively. I could see it in his eyes. What could I do though, invite him inside? No, that would be a bad idea. It

  • IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 72

    JASON'S POVAfter the wedding, days seemed to pass by quickly, too quickly than I wished them to. It wasn't just about the finals and college coming up; if I even got in. I wasn't even sure I wanted to go. Tessie had been the one to push me to apply into several just as much as she was pushing me to study for the finals, sometimes helping me study. This girl's mind just blew me away every time. I constantly thought she should be allowed to graduate with my class because she was actually better than most seniors. "I'm thinking... maybe I should repeat senior year," I stated absently, lying down on Tessie's bed. "What?" Tessie turned sharply, closing my calculus book. "Why would you want to be in highschool twice?" I sat up and leaned forward closer to her face. "Because I would get to be around you for another full year," I stated playfully then inched closer to kiss her. Tessie responded just for a few second with a smile but just as I placed my hand along her jaw, she

  • IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 71

    TESSIE'S POV The morning after the wedding may not have been the fairy tale perfect and restful because my limbs were aching all over and my head buzzed from the alcohol but, it was perfect in it's own way. The feeling of contentment settled in my chest as I sat in my car with Jace outside the hotel. He was behind the wheel thankfully. I wasn't sure I could drive the three hours back home. The windows were rolled down halfway letting in the cool spring air and his fingers played with mine like he was trying to memorize every inch. We didn't have to say anything. The contact was enough communication as we waited for Ava to show up. Count on that girl to wake up early on a Sunday and you just might have to cancel all your plans. I had my gaze trained on the hotel entrance, a tiny smile playing on my lips. Thoughts about the previous day crashed into each other, from the stolen glances to the adrenaline rush as we snuck around, the passion doubled just from the thought that we could

  • IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 70

    AVA'S POVWe sat there in silence for a long while. I had my knees pulled up, my chin resting on them, the satin dress I was wearing pooling all around me. The air between us was heavy but I was more concerned about Evan's silence and the look of anger he still had. My heart thumped hard. I knew that look. It was so damn close to vengeful and I wasn't sure I wanted him to run telling the Prescotts the truth. "I knew..." I said quietly, my eyes fixed on the patterned carpet. "I mean... not for long. I only found out a little while ago."He didn't say anything right away. He just stared right ahead, his jaw clenched so tight. "You knew," he repeated dully and hollow. "And you are okay with it? I mean you are still best friends with Tessie and close to Jace."I shrugged. This was the kind of reaction you gave when there were a thousand things you could say and none of them would change anything. "I got used to the idea. Or at least I convinced myself I had," I said. Evan let out

  • IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 69

    AVA'S POV I have always loved weddings. The beauty, the magic filled with love and joy, but watching your best friend sneak flirty glances with her stepbrother who also happens to be the one guy I spent months crushing on kind of killed the fairy tale vibe. I mean, I was cool with it. Cool enough anyway but every time Tessie gave Jace that tiny flirtatious smile she thought would go unnoticed, or he brushed past her like it was accidental when we all knew it wasn't, I felt this tiny stab somewhere under my ribs. It wasn't jealousy exactly. Not anymore. It was just discomfort, like watching a movie you don't have the plot of. I did the only thing any self-respecting teenage girl at a high end wedding reception would do. I found the champagne bar and raided it. The first few glasses made me feel giddy. The fifth? I was in full chaotic party mode. I danced with two strangers and a waiter who absolutely didn't sign up for that. I didn't care as long as I was having fun. I was busy swi

  • IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 68

    TESSIE'S POVI stood in front of the dressing mirror, my hands pressing down the length of my bridesmaid dress. It felt foreign on my body. I never wore dresses and the few times that I had to, I always felt like a different version of me especially if I had to wear heels too. Thankfully for Diane's wedding, we were wearing platform shoes, comfortable. The dress I could tolerate. "There she is! My future bride looking as gorgeous as always!" Jace announced as he got into the changing room, taking me by surprise. I turned quickly. "What are you doing here? Your room is on the other side of the building!" "Oh, really? I didn't know that," he teased as he grabbed me by my waist, pulling me towards him. He had on a beige suit and a white shirt, matching the groomsmen. My eyes scanned his whole length in, an uninhibited smile spreading across my face. He grinned. "If I look that good, I think I deserve a kiss." "Shut up!" I said with a chuckle, looked around us fo

    AVA'S POVImmediately the teacher stepped out after the class, I slumped into my desk, sighing heavily from exhaustion. Thank God there wasn't another class after that because I would have died. "Get up lazy ass! Go sleep at home," Margo said, shaking me. "Leave me alone," I groaned, my eyes still closed. "Five more minutes, okay?" "Yeah, that's code for thirty." A different voice said. One that was too familiar to me. I frowned and then slowly looked up only to find Tessie standing over me, a tiny smile on her face. "Hey," she greeted.I wasn't sure what to say to her so I started looking around. This was the first time in months that I hadn't sprinted out of class right after a lesson just to avoid talking to her. I could get up and leave her there but this time, I didn't feel like it. "Where is Margo and Katie?" I asked, just to make conversation. "They just left. They said something about going to watch the boys' swimming practice?" "Mo
