All Chapters of STUCK IN BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Startled by the throat-clearing, Ivy and Trevor turned in unison to see Emily standing in the doorway, her eyebrows raised and her lips pressed into a knowing smile.Trevor, always quick to recover, stood up smoothly and flashed her a charming grin. "Hi, Emily," he said casually, his tone polite yet unbothered by the situation. Without waiting for a response, he nodded at Ivy. "Catch you later." Then he walked out, leaving behind an air of tension.Emily watched him leave, her gaze trailing after him for a moment before turning to Ivy, her eyes wide with disbelief and a smirk creeping across her lips."You didn’t tell me you had something with Trevor," she said, her voice tinged with amusement.Ivy shot up from the couch, nearly knocking over the ice cream bowl in her haste. "No! I don’t... I do not!" Her words came out rushed, her face flaming as she waved her hands in denial.Emily’s smirk deepened as she folded her arms across her chest. "Oh, really? Because what I just walked in o

Ivy spotted Justin standing by his locker the next day, his back turned to her. Her heart swelled with excitement at seeing him again after their emotional goodbye the previous evening. She quickened her pace, calling his name softly."Justin," she said, her voice breaking through the noise of bustling students.He turned, his expression brightening as his eyes met hers. "Hey," he greeted warmly.Without hesitation, Ivy closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around him. Justin froze for a moment, surprised by the gesture, before his arms circled her in return."You didn’t have to leave, you know," she murmured, holding onto him tightly.He chuckled softly. "I’m still here, Ivy. And I’ll see you around all the time.""Not the same, though," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. She pulled back and looked up at him. Justin leaned against the lockers as Ivy stood by his side, the usual charm in his eyes dimmed with what looked like exhaustion. She tilted her head,

Emily was caught off guard when she bumped into Robert outside the café. She hadn’t expected to see him after their brief interaction at the supermarket. He had looked at her with a hint of recognition, but this? This felt different, like a twist of fate. She froze for a moment, unsure of how to react, but the warm smile on his face was enough to make her relax a little."Well, if it isn’t Emily," Robert said with a smirk. "I didn’t think I’d run into you here. After the other day, I thought we were done with coincidences."She blinked, a little surprised. "You thought I wouldn’t be around?" she asked, genuinely curious.He shrugged with a casual grin. "I mean, I didn't think we'd end up crossing paths again. But here we are."Emily felt a strange wave of relief, and maybe a little excitement, but she couldn’t figure out why. After all, he was the last person she ever expected to see. Still, she smiled. "I guess life has a funny way of making us bump into people we least expect.""Exa

"I’m so sorry," Ivy whispered, her voice trembling as she stepped back, trying to catch her breath.But before she could move further, Trevor’s hand slid to her waist, pulling her closer to him. His touch was firm yet gentle, leaving her no room to escape. Without a word, he leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss that sent a jolt of electricity through her body.Ivy’s eyes widened in shock, but then, almost involuntarily, she melted into the kiss. It was intense, unexpected, and everything she didn’t know she needed. Trevor kissed her like he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, his hands steady on her waist as if grounding them both.For a fleeting moment, it felt right—too right. But then reality hit.They both pulled back, their breathing heavy and uneven. Ivy stared at him, her mind racing with questions she couldn’t begin to voice."I—" she started, but the words wouldn’t come.Trevor opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Ivy turned and bolted

Justin forced a smile, nodding absently as Kulture showed him something on her phone. He wasn’t really paying attention. His mind was stuck on Ivy, seated just a few rows ahead, oblivious to the turmoil he was feeling.He couldn’t help but steal another glance at her. She looked focused, her eyes trained on the teacher, her pen scribbling notes in her notebook. It was the little things about her that always drew him in—the way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the soft smile she’d give when she figured out a tough problem, the way she’d tease him when he messed up.This was why he had to distance himself.It wasn’t the first time he’d tried this tactic. Pulling back, giving her space, ignoring the feelings that seemed to grow no matter how hard he tried to suppress them. It always worked—or at least, it had before.He’d give it a few weeks, apologize for being distant, and everything would go back to normal. That’s what he kept telling himself. That’s what had to happen.Because the
