Semua Bab Entangled With My Cheating Ex And Stepbrother : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Chapter 31Arlyn Shit! I cursed as soon as my dorm door closed behind him…He'd run away again…He was driving me crazy with these games of his. My hands went up to touch my lips on their own, and I groaned.That had been so intense that I had forgotten that I was supposed to be staying away from him until I was sure of our relationship.I quickly ran to the couch; she grabbed my phone and then called Jane…“Hey, girlie… How are you?”“Reid was here. We kissed.” I blurted out, There was a long silence before she exclaimed.“Really?!” she said excitedly.“Don't sound so excited. It's never going to happen again!” I grunted.“Why not?” “Because he ran off again.”“You know what? Hold, I'm coming over except for me in 10.”“Alright.” I nodded before hanging up.True to her word, she was here in exactly 10 minutes.I opened the door, and she practically bulldozed her way in.“Glad you could make it.” I said dryly.“Alright, come sit.” She patted the space next to her on the couch. “Te

CHAPTER 33JaneHow can I resolve this?This question kept going on and on in my mind the more I thought about Arlyn and Reid. I don't know if me wanting to help them get together was the right thing… what's with them being family and shit? But I knew I had to at least try.Absentmindedly, I wandered once more into the same cafe I had seen Reid and his friend Alex in the other day, though why I was there, I had absolutely no idea.Talk about a scatterbrain. I noticed a waiter walking towards me and stood up to leave, not really in the mood to order anything or eat anything for that matter.“Jane?” A familiar voice called out to me, and I spun around, my eyes searching until they lifted up towards the staircase and found out why the voice sounded familiar.It was Alex, and this time he was alone. I caught movement at the bottom of the stairs and swiveled my head to see the foot of the stairs.There he is…I thought of making a move towards him, but Alex blocked my path, his fingers lat

Chapter 35Arlyn“Dad, I need to talk to you.” I said as soon as we were done with breakfast.“About what, honey?”He asked, walking towards the patio.I followed and took a seat while Marcus busied himself with washing the dishes.“Alright, spill.” He said that, and I gave him a look that said, ‘Where the hell did you get that from?’“What?”“Spill?”“Yes. You think I don't know your little slang?”I rolled my eyes and then schooled my features into a more serious expression.“It's about Mom.” I said,“What about your mother? I thought she was okay?”“She is. I'm the one person that's not okay.”My dad frowned.“You are scaring me, honey.”“Did Mom have an affair while you were married? Is that why you divorced her?”I asked,I froze.“Where did you hear that?’ he hissed.“Mom confessed.”I said without hesitation.“I see.” He murmured, nodding.He looked like he wanted to run off into the highway or something, which confused me because it was Mom that cheated, not him.“Dad?” I call

CHAPTER 37JaneThe next few days after that incident were torture, as I kept running into Alex when I least expected it. I had to struggle to focus on whatever we were discussing because looking at his face at such close quarters kept reminding me of that humiliating moment…That humiliating moment I had blushed while looking up into his face like a high-school girl being asked to prom night by my crush. I remembered it just like it was happening to me at the present time… my near fall, the racing of my heart, my entire face feeling hot… his touch.“... Jane, Jane! Hello…”I vaguely heard Alex, who was sitting across from me, trying to get my attention. I must have tuned out sometime during our conversation, and he noticed. I forced a smile and shook my head at him as if I had been following the conversation. “Of course, it’s going to work… It has to work.”He was giving me a weird look, and I hastily felt my body, thinking a bug or something was moving over me. I realized it was be

CHAPTER 39AlexShit… Talk about being humiliated. “Alex?” Jane said again through the phone. “Are you okay?” I cleared my throat and tried my best to sound clear-headed. “Of course I am… Jane. I mean, why shouldn't I be?”I smiled secretly to myself, glad with the result. My voice sounded steady to me…. Nice. The next words out of her mouth shattered my illusion of joy. “You don't sound okay; that's why. You sound drunk!” Dang…. Nailed it… I am drunk. “Besides, you said so yourself when you called, remember?” How could I forget? I remembered it as clear as day, but I wasn't about to tell her so. “Oh that… I was just pulling a prank… you know, kidding around.” I said, trying to laugh it off, but I knew it wasn't going to sell. Even I could pick out the slur in my words. Someone bumped into me from behind and moved on without an apology, and I launched into some really drunken drivel, hurling distorted insults at the person. All the while, Jane was still on the line. “Where ar
