All Chapters of One Night With My Stepbrother : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Vera's POVMy eyes stayed on Liam, holding his stare from across the field. The school anthem rose up around us, voices blending into one loud sound, but I didn't open my mouth. I didn't know the words, and honestly, I wasn't in the mood to sing anything. My arms were folded tight against my chest, and my jaw felt stiff from how hard I was clenching it."I know what you are doing, Liam. You can't push me away." I said, keeping my face straight, my voice low but firm. "I will make you want me."He held my gaze a second longer before the anthem ended and the players started walking to the middle of the field. His eyes left mine first.I still stood there, staring at the space where he had just left."Vera." A voice called out, pulling me out of my head.I turned to find Queen, her hand waving high in the air, with a wide smile stretched across her face. I lifted my hand and waved back. She flicked her fingers toward me, telling me to come over.I walked down the row to where she sat, g

Vera's POV"None of your business." The words left my mouth coldly as I folded my arms across my chest and looked straight at him.Liam stood there, his broad frame blocking the doorway so I couldn't pass. He ran a hand through his messy hair and let out a hard breath, almost like a growl."It's my business." His green eyes stayed locked on mine. He took a step closer to me. "I looked for you all over the school. I sent you messages." His jaw tightened. "You ignored every single one." He paused for a second before asking again, "So… who brought you home?"I let out a small scoff and tilted my head, studying his face. "Why do you care?" A sarcastic smile pulled at my lips. "You should be happy. You didn't have to wait for me today." I shrugged casually. "I think I actually did you a favor. You had enough time to spend with Sarah.""What do you mean?" His brows pulled together in confusion.I laughed softly and shook my head. "Just cut the crap." My smile faded slowly. "I know you

Liam's POV"Why have you been avoiding me all week?" I asked.A small frown settled on her face. "What do you mean? Did you drag me to this corner just to ask me this?"I let go of my hold on her, studying her face closely. I had seen her earlier, alone in the classroom, talking with Andrea. They weren't standing so close, but the thought that they have haf something more kept eating at my mind, gnawing at something deep in my chest that I didn't want to name.I had walked away, telling myself I didn't care. I had even made it halfway down the hallway before my feet betrayed me… But somehow I found myself walking right back to wait for her outside that classroom door. Then I saw her step out, walking down the hallway and before I could stop myself, I had already pulled her into this corner."Just answer the question, Vera." My hand moved on its own, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. My fingers lingered there a second longer than they should have. "You know you've been av

Vera's POV"Vera! Over here!"Queen's voice rose above the noise in the cafeteria.I turned my head and saw her waving both hands with a big smile on her face. A small smile tugged at my lips as I adjusted the tray in my hands and walked toward her table."I thought you were going to take forever," she said the moment I got close.I slid into the empty seat across from her and set my tray down. "You thought wrong."I picked up a fry, dipped it in the sauce, and popped it into my mouth.Queen watched me for a second, then cleared her throat. "So..." She leaned forward a little. "Are you and Andrea close?"My hand stopped halfway to my mouth. I slowly lifted my eyes from my food and looked at her."No, we aren't."My answer came out short. There was no reason for anyone to know that Andrea and I had once dated."Oh." She blinked. "I thought you two were.""You have a lot of thoughts." I pointed the fry at her. "You should always ask me instead of assuming."Queen laughed softly and plac

Vera's POVI stayed inside the car, my fingers absentmindedly tracing the edge of the car window as my eyes stayed fixed on Liam and Sarah.Even from where I sat, I could tell the conversation wasn't pleasant. Liam stood stiffly in front of her, and arah's lips kept moving. His face stayed hard, with his shoulders tense.I couldn't hear a single word they were saying, but I didn't need to. He sure looked really angry. I shifted in my seat. ‘Should I get down? Or should I stay here?’ My fingers tapped lightly against my knee. If I walked over there, I might only make things worse. If I stayed here...I let out a sharp breath. No. I'd wait.It wasn't long before the conversation ended. Sarah threw Liam one last glare before spinning around sharply. Her hands stayed clenched at her sides as she stormed back into the school building without looking back once.Liam remained standing there for a few seconds, his hands resting on his waist, with his head lowered briefly. Then he slowly t
