In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 7

Chapter Seven When I finally clean myself up and step out of the room, the party has already started. Loud music is on, and a couple guys have laid out the bar section with bottles of vodka and beers.

They are heavy drinkers given by their age. I’m not against party. Back in Miami, I often have small and intimate gathering with my friends. We would grab couples of cold beers and head to the beach, enjoy the evening sea air. We talk, we drink, and we dance. We always have a blast.

I sign at my sudden nostalgic feeling. I miss Miami, and it’s easy and relaxing vibe. Boston is a busy and bustling city. It suits people like Eason, not me. We are indeed from two totally different worlds. I push through the crowd and try to find Eason. I want to talk to him about me staying here, which seems like a terrible idea now. Judging by the speed people pour alcohol down their throats, I better find him soon. I walk pass by two girls smoking joints and try not judge them. Then I finally spot Eason, sitting on the couch, with that blonde girl on his lap. She is giggling about something and then leans in to kiss him. He casually lays back on the couch and lets her groping all over him. I can still tell he’s quite used to their intimacy. I pause as I feel an unpleasant swirl in my stomach. Is that his girlfriend? Why didn’t he say anything about her? But on the second thought, why would he? I’m only his hick stepsister, whom he is ashamed of in front of his friends. I take in a shaky inhale and look away. I can’t stand watching them making out. And I hate that blonde girl already. 1

“Hey.”

I turn around and see a boy holding two red cups behind me. I recognize him as the guy who offered to help me earlier. “You ok?” he smiles at me and offers me a drink, “here.” “No thanks.” I force a smile back, “I don’t feel like drinking.”

“Me neither. It’s not wine. Just water.”

I look at him suspiciously and take a sip. It really is water, “You know if you don’t feel like drinking, you probably shouldn’t come here.” Crap, I don’t want to sound like a bitch. But I’m in a bad mood and it just slips out.

But the boy doesn’t seem to mind. He laughs, “well I’ve already regretted it. But I’m glad to have one sober person to talk to.”

He is nice and charming. I instantly grow fond of him.
