In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Kiss in the Rain I don’t know how long that kiss lasts. By the time I come back to my sense, I’m soaking wet and shivering from fingertips to toe. So I start coughing and sneezing right into his pretty face.

He chuckles, “Alright. At least now I know how you felt about that kiss.” “No! It’s just —I’m freezing here. Don’t you feel cold?” “No. Not really,” he shrugs. “How can I feel cold with our passionate hot love burning in my chest?”

“Eww, gross!” I hit him playfully. “Eason Ramirez, I don’t know you as a cheesy talking guy.” “Now you know. And it’s too late to have a second thought…ok enough of this. We’re heading back. You’ll definitely catch a cold if we stay out here a minute longer.” My feet are numb because of the rain. So I have to cling on his body and stagger forward. He signs and lowers his body having his back towards me. “Hop on.” I hesitate. “Umm…you sure? I weigh like “You weigh like a feather. And with your limp legs, we won’t be able to make it before dawn. So hop on.” I blush and climb onto his back. He picks me up with ease and starts heading towards the beach house. It’s still insanely cold outside. But my body warms up again with him being so close to me.

I rest my chin on the hollow of his neck and ask. “Hey. Have you seen a movie called The Notebook?”

“No. Why?”

“You haven’t? For real?” I gasp. “It’s such a classic. We should definitely watch it together sometime.”

“OK, so A, this isn’t a college interview, so I don’t need to lie about how many classic movies or books I’ve seen. And B, are you asking me out on a date already? Because I have some other plans for our first date and it’s so much better than your boring movie night proposal.” “It’s not boring at all!” I yell in protest. “Hear me out. So there’s a scene in the movie where the couple has a dramatic reunion and they just kiss it out right in the middle of a pouring rain

“Like what we just did?”

“Yeah and it’s so romantic. I’ve always wanted to try it out with someone before I die peacefully.” He laughs and his shoulders are shaking. I hurry to tighten my arms around his neck, so I don’t fall.

“Glad to be at your service Miss.” He teases, “You can pick ten other romantic scenes from the

He pulls out a towel, tosses it to me and then bends down to turn on the tap. I wipe my wet hairs absent-minded, staring after his back. Everything is happening so fast.
