This just officially became the most awkward moment in my entire life.I bet my face is twisted with anger. But I try not to let my fury show because that’s exactly what he wants to see.“Eason,” I grit out through clenched teeth. “This is HARDLY a good time.”He gives me a calm smile.“Emergency, like I said. Do you want to follow me out? Or should I stay, and we can talk here?”I want to throw a punch at his smug face. But my rationality calls me off.The entire classroom has wakened from their afternoon slumber, looking at us with great enthusiasm. I bet rumors about us will fly across the entire school sooner than I expected.“Umm…Miss Ramirez?” the history teacher interrupts our staring contest.I dart him an angry glare. “My last name is Moore, sir.”“Oh, I’m sorry Miss Moore. But if Mr. Ramirez insists that there’s an emergency, maybe you should go with him. See what’s happening.”He has made the judgmental call. Better sacrifice me alone than let Eason ruin the entire class.I

I’d never thought one day I’d be having dinner with my fake boyfriend, my stepbrother AKA my fuck buddy, and my mom.Ridiculous as it may seem, yet here we all are, sitting beside the same table at a fancy restaurant.The waiter has taken our order and left, leaving the rest of us to suffer the awkward silence. As much as I would like to order a glass of wine and pour it down my throat, I can’t. Damn legal drinking age.Eason’s face is bleak and sullen. He only spit out a few words when the waiter asked him what he would like for dinner. The rest of the time, he remains dead silent. Yet his dark eyes keep raking at Alex, not even trying to hide his disgust towards the boy.Alex, on the other hand, is in a complete trance. I thank him with all my heart that he didn’t rat me out when mom called him my “boyfriend” and I feel horrible dragging him into this.Mom is the only one at this table who’s actually enjoying dinner.“Well, isn’t this nice?” Her eyes trail across each of our gloomy

Spread your legs…A part of me feels shamed for everything we are doing but another part of me is elated with joy screaming wildly for him to take me right here and right now.I bite my bottom lip and gradually the later part of me wins. So, I do as he says and shakily move my legs apart.He lets out a chuckle and further closes the distance between us. The stall is tiny so there isn’t much room left for me to move around. I’m trapped between his muscular chest and the cold mental behind me.He unbuckles my short and pulls it down together with my soaking wet panty. My naked bum slightly shivers in the air but the next second his hand comes up to palm my pussy making me moan out loudly.“Watch your voice,” he whispers to me with a hint of smile. “Not so loud babe.”I jerk and suddenly come back to my senses. This is a Michelin-starred restaurant with dressed-up customers and black-tie waiters. This is a decent and classic place. Plus my mom and Alex are only a few walls away. But here

I wake up in his arms the next morning. The minute I open my eyes, memories from last night instantly come back to me.That’s it. I’ve slept with Eason, with my stepbrother.I carefully turn around to look at him. He’s still sleeping soundly. No matter how much of a jerk he is by day, he seems so cute and peaceful right now. The summer sunshine pours in through curtains and onto his beautiful face, giving the whole room an amber glow.I study his perfect, straight, angular figure. Seriously, I can do this all day, staying in his arms and looking at his sleeping face…Wait.I jerk up a bit, scared by that fleeting thought just like I did yesterday. My movement disturbed him in his slumber, as he murmurs something vaguely and turns around releasing me from his arms.I fight back the temptation to crawl back to his cuddle and get out of bed quietly.I turn on my phone and quickly text my mom, letting her know that I got caught up my “urgent homework” so didn’t come back last night. Then

“What are you doing here?” I blurt out.Katherine sticks her head out and seems very excited, “Hey you guys made it!”Made it?I shot her an angry glare. She is perfectly aware of the tense situation between me and Eason, even though I haven’t given her all the details. As my friend, shouldn’t she respect my decision and not invite them over without checking with me first?I’m probably overthinking this. But still, I taste a sense of betrayal.James leans on our car and grins at us, “Katherine told us about your plan. So I figured, why not join you guys and make it into a party?”I snap, “didn’t you and Eason have other plans?”He doesn’t even blush as he replies with a wide smile. “Change of plan. We figured this would be more fun. Unless Natalia…are you shutting the door on us?”Obviously, I am.“There may not be enough rooms for you guys,” said I sternly.“In fact—” Katherine begins but I manage to shut her up with my angry glare. The atmosphere becomes a little awkward among us.R
