Falling For My Stepbrother 1
Clarity was better.
“I'll be gone in the morning.” I said quietly.
It was sometime between two and three am.
We both sat, lost in our own thoughts, my body shamelessly yearning for his comfort, when I'd just broken his heart.
I kept sobbing quietly cause there was no stopping the tears that stemmed from a place of pain and guilt.
Three times, three solid times, I stopped myself from lurching at his feet.
I wanted to be held by him, but even though the distance between us, physically, was so small, we were more than miles apart emotionally.
What terrified me more than the look on his face was what was going through his mind.
Emma has caught the attention of the playboy in school, who happened to be the sexiest bully, and her Stepbrother....
They battle webs of secrets and lies, from friends and family, and finally, their own ego and desires. Chase wants to be Emma's last 'Goodnight' and her first 'Good morning', so does Kevin. Can he battle the insane attraction she has for Kevin, whom she had unfinished business with? Will Chase throw in the towel and let the rich tech guy swoon his girl? Will Emma ever forgive Chase's betrayal and indifference? Are their issues even solvable?

Chapter: Chapter 65Grayson’s POV “Hey Man.” Chase rang me up. “What's up?” “Nothing much.” I replied. “Just stuck here since Jessica and Lily have found friends in each other.” I slipped, sadly. “I kinda noticed that. What do you think is up with them though?” He asked, in the most demeaning tone I might ever have heard. “They both my women. I won't take that now, fam.” I replied, shutting him up. “What did you want to say?” I asked. He must've called for a reason. “Uhmm, well, I just got in.” He sounded really excited. I could hear the reverberation of his voice, meaning he actually was in his space. “I'm proud of you, man.” I said. I was really excited. A yard of ours to host parties and orgies, finally! “Is she there?” I asked, lowering my voice. “No, she isn't. Dummy!” He said. “She will be soon. Just thought to call you first so you don't disturb the rest of our evening.” He added, light-heartedly. “Oh. This is what you do to a broken man?” I asked, feigning hurt. “Get out

Chapter: Chapter 64Lily's POVIt all seemed like a dream to me. like a very big joke. Chase had the guts to do all that, in a crowd of people he'd been with almost half of the ladies. “Oh friend.” Jessica said, smiling so mischievously. “Don't call me that.” I protested. “Pardon me if I do not know what to say. One would think you'd be next to your friend now, you know, in her time of need.” She said, I knew Jessica was gloating over me, and I kinda deserved it for nursing any feelings for Chase, ever. “Jessica, this is neither the time or the place.” I said. My eyes had begun to water. I didn't see it coming, at all. I thought there was nothing more to a jewelry box than a necklace. Chase asking Emma to marry him, to me, wasn't even a remote possibility. It felt like it was gonna be a high school fling at best. “Welcome to my boat.” She said, smiling. “We certainly are not needed here. Let's row along, shall we?” She asked. We got out of the dining hall and headed straight to the cla

Chapter: Chapter 63Emma's POV I was obviously already being relegated to the benches at the show of my own life. I was the last person who knew Chase was gonna propose. I had a lot to say to my mom and him, but that could wait. Mark got a ton of good stuff from wherever it was they said they visited. “Oh, these are so pretty.” I said, glancing at how much stuff there was and how glittering the whole place looked. He got a big sized teddy, some scarves that looked Hawaiian, anklets, waistbeads. They must've gone somewhere funny to have brought back all that stuff. “You can have this.” I gave Patty some beachwear. I made a mental note to ask Mark how often they got breaks and when they did. Firstly, I must thank him for all that stuff. I saw some other girly things but I could open all those later. I dashed to Mark's room, with one of the scarves in hand. “Thank you so much.” I said, jumping on him. “That's a nice ring you've got there.” Mark said, deflecting. I look back on the ring,

Chapter: Chapter 62Chase's POVI literally was the happiest man on earth. I had just bagged Emma, and one of the most important things to me. “How do I look?” Emma asked, straightening out invisible creases. “Perfect, my love.” I replied, “Besides, they are family.” I said, laughing. “I know, I know.” She sighed. “But you're nervous?” I asked, looking at her. “Very.” She added. Emma took a deep breath and went to meet her mom. I wasn't so enthusiastic about meeting them. For all I cared, I had a done deal. “Hey mom.” Emma's voice sounded strained. Her mom pulled her in and it seemed like a bear hug. I could understand. They had been gone for two months. Two freaking months that might be the genesis of my emergence. My dad didn't even spare me a second look. I laughed deep within me, knowing that he knew I had become a player in his game. Emma's mom took her left hand and admired the ring, during which Emma turned completely red. I busied myself enjoying the spectacle cause th

Chapter: Chapter 61Emma's POVI heard his keys jingle, I also took it as a pause sign. We were definitely doing too much on school property. “That's too many keys.” I said, smiling. “It’s a crying shame it doesn't have the one to your heart in it.” Chase said, smiling. I laughed, Chase could be amusing when he wanted to. “We really should get back.” I suggested. Chase was hysterical, and so was I. “I can't wait to get home.” I said, shyly. and I really couldn't. I remembered the statement, ‘there's light at the end of the tunnel', maybe Chase's proposal was the end of my tunnel. “I'll see you later.” I was so excited and it was getting increasingly harder to tear myself off him. He gave me one last peck on the cheek and I sauntered back into the dining room, with my ring and necklace still on. I was hoping to see Lily, but I could not. Lunch break was almost done, so I just went back to class, where she was sitting. Lily and Jessica were alone in the hall, and I found that kinda

Chapter: Chapter 60Emma's POV Lily came back to sit with me, but it was too late. I watched Chase scream at everyone in his way as he approached. I was prepared to get away, but he told the girls in my way to stop me. “Please, please Emma.” We were making a show the crowd was only dying to see. I didn't like it. Chase was embarrassing me, us. “Chase, please.” I had just a little break from crying, and that was the classes. I cried through the night, I cried myself to sleep, same thing when I was preparing for school. “Emma, no. Please. Don't do this to us.” The crowd was ‘oohing’ and “awing”, I had never been in the public eye so much. It looked so similar to the Kevin issue, just that I couldn't run. “We can do this somewhere else.” I said, shaking my head. “No, Emma.” Chase replied. He was already holding my hand in his. I didn't want to embarrass him. What I didn't understand is why he was still doing this after last night. I thought running to me at the car park in the mornin
