Chapter nine

Florian’s pov

My eyes widened as Jethson's car speeded onto the road cutting lines of escaping sports cars.

The siren was so loud and the speeding of the car didn't even let me concentrate or think about the kiss, it was just like everything happened in a flash.

In fact I couldn't believe I kissed him and he kissed me back.

And I like it.

He is my stepbrother of crying out loud.

“Jethson!” I shouted as he cuts Infront of a truck, my soul almost left my body.

“Calm down.” Jethson aid to calmly and relaxed his eyes is focused in the road as he gripped and turned the steering wheels. “You don't want the police to catch us and have a tint on your clean record right” he said mockingly.

I didn't give him a response as I clung to the car seat and prayed for my life. I can’t believe this is the person I kissed.

Before I knew it, he pulled up in an alley and turned off the car lights and signaled me not to speak.

I nodded, my heart beating fast as I heard the sirens of the police car getting closer. We both watch as the car passed In front of us.

When there's no sign the police will return and Jethson is about to start his car. 

“Why do you drive so recklessly, what if we had an accident or something?”

“You are alive aren't you, you came to race yourself you should know what it comes with” he replied coldly not looking at me.

He drove out of the alley and we didn't even speak to each other as he drove home.

The way he acted so coldly hurt me. Everything suddenly started to feel like a mistake.

When we arrived at the mansion, Jethson didn't step down and I know that he is not spending the night here.

So I stayed to talk about the kiss, “So about the Kiss—”

“Get over it. It is just a kiss” he mumbled, staring right outside the car window.

“But you kiss me” I started and he scoffed.

“No you are getting it all wrong brother, you kissed me first.” He reminded me.

My heart dropped, I don't know why I expected something from him.

But this is it.

“I am sorry about the kiss that is so impulsive of me. It won't happen again.” I said and pushed the car door open.

Jethson didn't reply me as if he couldn't wait for me to get out of his car. He drove out of the Mansion’s driveway in a high speed as soon i step out of the car.

That night I didn't know why I cry and why my wolf wailed so badly but it hurts a little more than I expected.

The next day, I made sure to get it out of my system and soon our parents returned from their honey home.

I haven't seen Jethson since that night which was better because all I could think of is him.

And it is better we didn't see each other.

 Things were going really well until His father asked him to move back into the house but Jethson didn't agree to.

I knew I had to avoid him, I even blocked Kira.

I settled in my seat today. It has been two weeks since the day I last saw Jethson and honestly it has been better.

I think it's okay when we keep our distance as stepbrothers that don't like each other.

“Florian” A female voice called, I glanced up and saw Immy, A smile spread across my face immediately.

“Immy, Good afternoon” I tried to sound cheerful and not shy and rigid like the first time we met.

“Don't smile at me like that, you didn't reply to my message.”

“Oh…”

Honestly I didn't see her messages because I don't check my inbox regularly.

“Look I am sorry, I have been really busy these past weeks…” I lied, “ i am truly sorry”

The truth is that I didn't really expect anyone to text me except from persistent Kira who I blocked.

But I don't usually get messages from anyone except my mother who prefers to call.

“Apology accepted” she smiled and settled beside me. “So have you been doing it?” She asked.

“Good, you?”

“Great too, Do you want to grab lunch with me? If you don't want to, it is okay.”

I have never been asked for lunch by people except the business required lunches.

Maybe it is time to loosen up, “Okay, I will like to have Lunch with you”

“Do you have class after this?” Immy asked.

“No I don't this is actually my last class”

“This is mine too then after this class we head out of the campus” Immy said and I nodded.

We had class in silence. One thing I like about her is that she isn't talkative, she is focused and doesn't do small talk in class.

Afterwards, we head out of the campus in Immy’s car and drove me to a fancy restaurant.

“Wow, is this not a little serious for a Lunch” I asked as we stepped out of the car.

“No, I don't think so. Let head in” she pulled me by my hand and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.

“Alright” I chuckled to myself as I took myself to a table.

Everyone in the restaurant is wearing suits and dresses which made me and Immy stand out with our casual clothes.

“Are you sure we can eat here?” I whispered to Immy who laughed.

“Yes we can” she said, “Don't worry this is my uncle’s restaurant and their food is amazing”

“Okay…” I glanced around the restaurant before picking the menu in front of me.

“So what would you like to eat?” Immy asked 

“I don't really know” I answered as I scrolled through the menu, the menu was snatched from me by Immy. “Hey” I said to her.

She laughs, “Don't worry, I know what to just order and you like it.” She said to me, winking.

I could only smile, “Fine, I will eat whatever you order”

Immy called a waitress over and she told the waitress what we wanted to eat. I glanced around a little when my eyes fell on Jethson. He was just coming in with a lady.

His arms were around her waist, he lifted his head and met mine. I didn't look away holding his gaze but he looked away.

And his face shows no expression.
