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

BRITNEY ASTON The moment Travis walked out of my room, I walked straight into the bathroom to take a shower. It was a long bath, the cold water trickling down my skin alongside my tears. I crouched on the floor in the bathroom, my head hung low as I just wished the gushing water could wash away my pain. I expected it to hurt but not that much. I could feel the pain in my chest- the hurt from the disappointment i felt towards my self, the anger I felt towards Travis for disrespecting my feelings and the frustration I felt towards my mum for forcing me to move all the way to London and unknowingly being the cause of all my problems. After what felt an eternity in the bathroom, I was almost freezing, finally getting up to return to my room. Looking at the room with memories of Travis and I lurking everywhere, I sighed and began to pick my clothes from the floor, tossing them all into the dirty clothes basket like they were actual dirt. Next, I took the bedsheets off the bed and thre

TRAVIS LEWIS I stared at my phone in my hand, Amber’s text message begging for a response flashing in my face. She needed me to come around. Just to keep her company. As I always did whenever her parents were at it. Just like me, she wasn’t a stranger to family drama. But compared to me, her version of family drama entailed her parents arguing and arguing for years and finally, realizing and deciding a divorce was what was best for them. And not too strangely, it had always had an effect on Amber, the announcement of a divorce having even more effect than she’d expected it. I understood her and tried to be her friend most times. But for the first time, I remained in my room, unable to put her feelings before mine by going over to her place. There was a raging war going on in my head, the war refusing to quieten with every second that passed. It only got more intense, leaving me with a terrible headache and a state of mind worse than the state of the relationship my father a

BRITNEY ASTON It had to be the first time in forever i anticipated a school day so much. After spending the entire previous day locked up in my room feeling suffocated, I just couldn’t wait for an excuse to leave. To not just leave the room but also the leave the house, getting rid of any possibility of running into him. Though I knew there was technically still a chance of running into him at school and an even bigger chance of running into Lucas too, I didn’t mind. I still needed the fresh air and change of scenario. Lucas. My stomach churned at the mere thought of him. As eager as I was to return to school, I wasn’t particularly looking forward to seeing him. I could still feel a bit of unease whenever I thought of our kiss and it got even worse whenever I thought of the possibility that I might have led him on by not rejecting him outrightly. But on the brighter side, it could just be for the better. And with that mindset, I stepped out of the house and took the bus head

BRITNEY ASTON “Britney, it’s time!” “Just give me ten more minutes mum!” “You said that ten minutes ago!” I groaned as I stared at myself in the mirror, realizing that indeed I had asked for ten extra minutes ten minutes ago. But it wasn’t my fault. If it was to be anybody’s fault, it was my mum’s. For making a big deal out of a dinner that was supposed to be between the little members of the family. I was dressed in a simple blue gown. It was plain with buttons all the way to my waist, the rest of the gown falling to stop at my mid thigh. It looked simple and perfect for a normal dinner but with Lucas showing up and Amber, most likely showing up too, I wasn’t so sure. My hair was tied up in a ponytail, showing off my neck as I left the last button of the collar undone. I also had a silver necklace on with matching silver earrings on, enhancing my whole look. “Britney?!” “Fine, fine, I’m on way down!” I screamed to my mum and gave myself a final look in the mirror. S

TRAVIS LEWIS The beach was nice to look at but it was going to take more than a nice beach to elevate my mood. If it was up to me, I was going to remain in my room the entire time but after lecturing Britney and asking her to act normal, I knew I had to do the same. I didn’t mean to get angry at her earlier but I just couldn’t help it. Her behavior was frustrating. And even more frustrating when I noticed Rose was now giving me side looks. Rose was being excited about the trip. So excited I couldn’t wrap my head around. Was it really the change of scenery or was it being there with my father? My father? The thought made me scoff. Though I wasn’t her biggest fan either, I could at least say she deserved better than my father. Actually, no one deserved to be with him. He was better off alone and should have stayed alone. Shifting my thoughts to more positive thoughts, I stared at the shirt I had laid on my bed. Rose had asked us all to get freshened up and then head out fo
