To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

My phone chimed and I woke up to a text from my mom. She had told me that they’d be home later in the day and she’d asked that I make breakfast for them.

The memories of the sex I had with Mason last night came gushing at me and my cheeks suddenly felt hot as I tried to move but I was still very sore.

Mason noticed this and had only pulled me closer to him before moving the hair that fell on my face to the side of my ear and kissed my cheek and forehead.

He got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom to run a hot water bath for me. It felt so relaxing, especially having Mason take my bath for me.

This treatment was one that I prayed would never end because it was just so heavenly. Finishing with my bath, I rummaged through my closet and picked out a dress.

I got downstairs to find the table set already and Mason had already made breakfast, my cheeks flushed and my heart fluttered as he pulled out the chair for me to sit.

We both ate in silence and I picked up my phone to check the time. I didn’t want to leave the house but I had a class today that I couldn’t possibly miss.

When we were done eating, we both got out and Mason drove me to school.

“Hey,” he called just when I was about to open the door and get out. I’d thought of every possible thing he might want to say at that moment.

“I’ll pick you up after school today, okay?” He promised before kissing me on my forehead and my heart cracked a little.

I was expecting an “I love you” but I knew that we were just taking things slow and I shouldn’t be jumping into conclusions like this.

Submitting my project assignment, the professor organized a test and I hated it but I knew that I was going to pass because I studied prior to today.

“I hate that test and I’m pretty sure I’ll fail it,” Nicole groaned but I only smiled as I took a bite of my lunch, “it’s really horrible.” She added before raising an eyebrow at me.

“What?” I asked, snapping at her with my mouth full of food but she only bursted out laughing which I didn’t understand.

“Something about you is different,” she pointed out and I dropped my food as I also raised a brow at her, “you’re glowing and also smiling differently, what’s going on?” She added and I shook my head.

“Nothing is going on, Nicole. It’s just so nice out and the weather is so peaceful.” I answered as I took in a deep breath but my best friend wasn’t having it.

“You could’ve lied to anyone else but definitely not me,” she snickered before her eyes widened, “there’s no way in hell!” She shouted, making me jump.

“What?!” I yelled back at her.

“You finally got laid! Innocent Ava is no longer a virgin!” She laughed and I choked.

I’d wanted to lie to her but nothing I planned to say made any sense and there was no use lying to her so I eventually told her everything.

Nicole as usual asked for the full details and I told her everything that I could from how painful it was to how pleasurable and toe curling it became.

“I knew you’d enjoy it, you naughty girl.” She taunted amidst laughs and smiles and I only sighed, “what’s wrong?” She asked.

“I don’t know, I just want to tell him that I love him,” I started, “you know, confess my feelings to him and all that? I really want to do it soon but I have no idea how.” I explained my dilemma to my best friend.

Nicole only laughed as she tried to come up with lots of romantic and sexy ways for me to be able to finally confess my feelings to Mason.

“I’ll recommend you get drunk, you’ll be able to say anything when you’re drunk. You know being drunk comes with this boldness…” Nicole was still explaining when I shook my head.

“That would only mean that the alcohol is what’s talking and not me.” I protested and she agreed as we both went back to thinking of ways to confess my feelings.

The day went by quickly and it was soon evening when Mason came to pick me up from school as promised.

We both went for a drive and I told him about how my day at school went and the impromptu test we had.

“I just know you’ll ace it,” he affirmed and I laughed, “wanna try to drive?” He asked and I nodded my head positively.

“So, what do I do?” I asked as I held the steering wheel and before he said anything he leaned in to kiss me before telling me what and what not to do while driving.

The drive and the instructions were going smoothly until I bumped into something unexpectedly, it just ran into the road and I had no idea what it was.

“Please tell me I didn’t just kill someone.” I gasped, panicking as Mason got out of the car to check what I’d hit.

“Oh god please,” I prayed silently, “did I kill someone?” I asked when he got back and the shaking of his head made my heart at ease.

“You know what? We can continue driving lessons later.” He suggested and I agreed immediately as I scooted over for him to take over.

We drove back home and it was late already, my mum was home already and I was grateful that I’d disagreed to the idea of kissing Mason because I knew we’d make out till we got to the sitting room.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

That would’ve been weird if my mum saw it.

We ate our dinner silently and when I asked about Danny she told me he had to stay at work late because of how much the workload is.

Following my mum, I went to bed with her since I’d already decided to spend the night with her.
