JASON'S POV

"Bro, I think I found a solution for your girl problem and I might just have found you a date to homecoming!" my cousin announced and jumped into my bed, disrupting my sleep.

"I told you, I'm not going to homecoming, Jude," I groaned and turned, pulling a pillow over my head to block his voice.

I wasn't sleeping, but I was in no mood to talk to anyone. Not after the day I'd had. Months of trying to get over Tessie, all the effort I had put in was not making it any easier. I had finally decided to get over it, get over my ego and talk to her and I just had to stumble over her agreeing on a date with Evan.

Evan! Again!

Yeah, that was it. I wasn't going to try again and I wasn't going to subject myself to that torture— watching them together for a whole night.

"Dude, you are in the football team. You can't miss the game!" he shook me awake. "Besides, do you really want to miss your last homecoming dance just because a chick broke your heart? Look

  • 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

  • IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 67

    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

  • IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 66

    AVA'S POV "Okay, your frown just went from a two to a seventy real fast. What's pricking your butt?" My friend Margo, asked as we walked out of the cafeteria. "Nothing, maybe it's just something I ate?" "Ava, you barely touched your lunch," she pointed out giving me a disapproving look as she blocked my way forcing me to stop right outside the cafeteria. "In the morning? Maybe it's something I ate for breakfast." "I'm pretty sure your half pancake and a sausage are digested by now. I'm also very sure this," she said, expressing with her hands all over me. "Happens every time we walk by your ex-bestfriend and that walking heartbreaker stepbrother of hers. I have noticed so, spill." "Yeah, you never told us what really happened between you two. You two were always so tight than you ever was with us," my other friend, Katie weighed in. I sighed. I was cornered and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to tell them. The truth? No, I would neve
