Lahat ng Kabanata ng Stepbrother Wants Me: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Lily: The way Mason was staring at me as I danced, it was both scary and a little weird and definitely not how a step-brother should be looking at his stepsister. Carlos was all over me I see why girls fell for him. He was a smooth talker. “So, You staying long, New York?” It was his new nick name for me. I found it actually hilarious. “Nah. Gotta go back to school.” I said as we danced around the bonfires. This was so much fun or at least it would be if Mason wasn't trying to choke Carlos with his eyes. “You can aways transfer here. My sister did.” “No. I love Malibu, but it's a very distracting place. I need to focus if I'm going to come out as an Honor student.” “Mason mentioned you were smart. Hot.” “Indeed.” I smiled. Carlos looked over at Mason and his eyes were practically throwing daggers at him “Your brother seems oddly overprotective.” My stomach flipped. Mason was making it too obvious that we were more than sibling Wow. Those were words I never thought I'

Lily: “Grocery shopping is a Little Mundane, don't you think?” Mason said beside me. I glanced at him about to say something snarky when it hit me He was a bit of a nepo baby. He'd always had someone waiting hand and legs for him. “Right. You've always had someone wiping your ass.” I smirked He glared. “It's cute. I like that one of us never experienced a mundane childhood.” “I hate that you didn't experience my life. You deserved it more than I do.” “Don't be cheesy, baby. I'm actually happy with my childhood.” I said, pushing the cart down the Isle, I stopped at the cereal isle and took four different boxes of my favorite and then the same number of Mason's favorite He claimed he wasn't very selective, but I had been with him for over two months, and he definitely did prefer a type. He smiled when I did that, and walked away towards the milk Isle. When we were done shopping, we left the grocery shop after paying We'd gotten enough groceries to last two

Lily: For a second, neither of us spoke. It was like time stalled, me standing in the hallway in my stupidly beautiful blue dress, and Chad staring at me like he had seen a ghost wearing pearls. His posture straightened. Mine stiffened. We just looked at each other, both frozen in a moment I wished did not exist. Then survival instinct kicked in. I stepped sideways, ready to walk right past him and pretend he was nothing more than a smudge in my peripheral vision. But he moved at the exact same time, blocking me. Awkward, predictable, infuriating. “Seriously?” I muttered. “What are you doing?” I said louder. He swallowed. “I just… Lily, wait. Please. I want to talk.” “No.” The word came out sharper than I meant, but I did not take it back. “I have told you before. I do not want to talk to you. About anything. Ever.” Something flickered in his eyes, a tiny crack of hurt, but I did not feel bad. Not even a little. I tried again to walk past. This time he reached o

MASON: Lily's proclamation was like a poison gas, taking its time to dwell in my head while my mind processed before hitting home and even when it did, I just simply sat still in my car with the phone against my ear without saying a word. I think my mum is cheating on your dad… I had prepared myself over the pass few days, telling my self I could stand whatever Lily eventually threw at me over what happened between us but I was expecting this. I remembered the call was still connected and cleared my throat. “What are you talking about?” I growled out into the phone. I heard her suck in breath on the other end of the line. I knew what she was doing. Closing my eyes, I tried to imagine her sitting on the edge of her bed with a small frown on her face as she got ready to pitch her game. “Exactly what you think I said.” she said in that quiet sure way of hers she usually reserved for arguments. “I saw… I called my mum and she said she was at Singapore with your dad… but then yo

LILY:“There,” Mason murmured suddenly as we both leaned forward, our eyes fixed on the monitor screen. I looked closely and saw what he was pointing at. It was indeed my parents, both of them exiting the hotel with their heads bowed. That's why I hadn't noticed them at first. I still found the very idea novel, almost hard to believe. That my real parents were in an affair. The novelty of it was lost on me though. We skip to the next video and them walking side by side down the hallway, laughing about something. My mom brushed her hand against his arm. He leaned closer like he was whispering in her ear. Everyone who saw them together would doubt they were involved. And oddly, they looked… happy. Even more than when they were still married to each other.The guard clicked to the next angle, and I suddenly like I was intruding on their privacy. On the screen, my mother gently pushed my dad against the door of a suite, their mouths coming together in a kiss. I felt bile rise up in my
