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.

 

Hearing the door, he pulls himself to the surface and draws his wet hair to the back of his head.
