The hot hockey captain is my step brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Solene's pov.As I laid on my awesome bed that night, I couldn't help but reminisce about the time I spent with Noah on the beach.With my head in his chest, listening to the soft pump of his heart as he poured out his soul to me.He's been through so much, which was probably the reason he's been holding back on a lot of emotions.I clutched the pillow tight to my chest, a way of savoring the feeling of Noah's body against mine.It didn't help, everytime I'm with him, something at the back of my head keeps telling me how dangerous our relationship was.I keep on ignoring it, Noah wasn't the danger here.I know I'm being indecisive and selfish, not being able to settle for one guy.For now, I'm just going to enjoy my three days vacation without any guilt.Our precious moments was interrupted by Alfred showing up on the beach.He didn't make anything of Noah and I nestled close to each other on the recliner.I was so grateful that it wasn't my mom that found us in that position, she wou

Solene's pov I was the only one left out of the sudden reunion between the Campbell's and Mallory, Noah's childhood sweetheart.My mom actively joined in the conversation as though she's been a part of their family for a very long time.I felt my heart getting squeezed the more I watched them chat and laugh.“Ohh my God Mallory, it's great to have you around, I wish you can stay back and not return to you mom. Your presence will have a huge impact.”I stood up and my chair fell back, still, none of them noticed.A huge impact on Noah indeed, what about the help I gave with his tutoring.Wasn't that a huge impact?I carried my untouched plate to the kitchen and dropped it in the sink like that.When I returned to the dining section, I heard Mallory asking Noah to hang out.“Please, for old times sake.” She pouted.I waited for Noah to turn her down, today was supposed to be for just me and him.No pretty thing was going to ruin it for me.“Of course, you kids can go, take the jeep.” A

Solene's pov.Noah and I are now back together, not that we separated or anything before.Mallory only came by once to say she was leaving with her mom to go prepare and I was more than happy to see her leave.I let her hug me and the smile on my face was because she was going away from Noah for sometime.Everything about her was triggering, from her face to her body to even the way she laughed.I was glad she wasn't around to ruin the remaining two nights of our vacation.I knew that Noah was sad to see her leave, that's why I am here, so that he doesn't think of anyone else.Our last two days at the beach house were memorable.We spent some time at the beach, playing different games, I even carved mine and Noah's initials on a pebble.“Are you doing this because of the cave incident?” Noah asked after I was done.“No, this doesn't have anything to do with it.” I lied.Thankfully he didn't prob further.What I enjoyed most at the beach house was the nights when Noah would come into m

Solene's pov“Is he your friend? Invite him in, there's more than enough snacks to go round.” Mallory was loud behind me.If only she can just shut up a second.I pulled the curtain close just as Vale looked up.My heart started beating wildly. I just hope he didn't see me looking through the window.My phone started ringing again, I better go out and not keep him waiting.“Excuse me.” I tried to move past Mallory, she was still peeping through the curtains.Noah showed up behind us.“Who's that outside?” His voice was deep and gruff, if he knows that it's Vale, there's bound to be some punches thrown.Then again, I shouldn't give a hoot about his feelings, he didn't care about mine and Mallory is right here.“It's Vale, he came to see me.”His eyes became stone cold.“What is he doing here?”“You don't have the right to ask me that, Noah.I can bring in a visitor just as much as you can.”I went outside to see Vale.He kept the book behind him.“It took you forever to come out.” He

Solene's pov.For the one week that was left of Noah's suspension from school.There was a rotation for his tutoring, and some days, Mallory gets to help him. Other days I fill in the spot.Which gives me some extra time to spend with Vale.I forced myself to accept Mallory's presence in Noah's life, most times I just cringe when I see them laughing together or too close.Noah had tried to convince me several times about their relationship.I had no doubt he doesn't have any romantic feelings for her.It's just, anytime I look at her, I feel less.Like she's the type of girl Noah would actually want to be with.“You need to get such thoughts out of your head.” He said to me one night that he managed to sneak into my room.I really am trying, but my dislike for her just outshines every other good quality she possesses.The fact that she tries to be nice to be makes it worse, she comes with gifts for me as well and tries to drag me into conversations she has with Noah.The last week of
