In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 6

 

I slightly open my mouth, but no words come out of it. I completely lost track of what I’m going to say.

 

A moment later, I stutter, “isn’t it obvious? You chase me out of your room. You shout at me at the restaurant. And you—”

 

“And I drove around crazy trying to find you, I fought for you, and I risked getting a ticket just to cheer you up.” He shrugs, “yeah, I must have hated your guts.”

 

I flush. That’s why he confuses me. “Thanks.”

 

He grins, “as long as you feel better.”

 

I truly do. The way I feel around him…it’s so new and exciting and thrill. Being with him is such an adventure that it blows my head off. I know that’s partially because he comes from a different world than I do. But I don’t hate it when he gets his rich on, not the way I hated Zack.

 

And that’s why he’s so different.

 

We talk for a while and finish the beer. And he leads me to the guest room.

 

“Bathroom is inside. You’ll find anything you need…towels included.”

 

I giggle. “Anything in particular that I should keep my hands off?”

 

He lets out a short laugh. “No. Just make yourself at home.”

 

We both smile at each other. Just when I’m about to say goodnight, he gently lets me into his arm, giving me a short and warm hug.

 

“Goodnight Natalia.”

 

Before I can react, he takes a step back and closes the door for me.

I had a hard time falling sleep. But once I did, I slept surprisingly well. I wake up feeling refreshed. Breaking up with Zack, running away and chased by some scums in the park all seem like a century ago.

 

I stretch a little in bed and reach out for my phone. God, it’s almost 5 in the afternoon. How long did I sleep? I’m also not too surprised to find hundreds of missing texts and calls from mom.

 

I sign and toss it aside. My mom and her nagging can wait.

 

The house is super quiet when I come out. Seems like no one is around. I walk around a bit and see a slide door on the glazed wall. It was too dark last night so I didn’t notice.

 

I stride over and slide the door open. Then I got completely astonished by the view outside.

 

There is an infinity pool outside.
