In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 60

Chapter 60:

A Huge Step A key. But a key to what? Suddenly, an absurd idea flashes across my mind as I gasp, “You are not asking me to move in with you, are you?!!” He gulps and sits up straighter. I haven’t seen him this nervous before.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m doing,” he smiles awkwardly. “But honestly, this isn’t the reaction I was looking for.”

I sit there still, my mind completely blank.

He is asking me to move in with him? But we are only 18! And, of course, he isn’t like normal students since he has his own house and everything, but regardless, we are still too young to make such huge commitment! I am the only one to think that moving-in is a huge, huge step for a couple? Amidst the silence, he leans over and grabs my hands, “OK now you are scaring me a little. You make it seems like that I’m holding a gun to your head and

forcing you to jump off a cliff.” I force out a smile, “been there before.”

“Just tell me your real thoughts. It wouldn’t be the first time you rejected me, and I think I can take the hit,” he says in a playful tone.

His attitude eases me up a bit. I take a deep breath and try to organize my thoughts, “well… I just think we are moving a bit too fast. We just started dating not so long ago and there are so many issues between us, like our parents, school, college...Are you sure now is a good time?”

And there is another reason. I haven’t figured out what happened three years ago with that letter that went missing for no reason. I find it hard to open up to him with this between us.

“Really?” I raise an eyebrow.

“Just answer me this: have you ever thought of our future before?”

I want your face to be the first thing I see every morning when I open my eyes, starting today.” I find it hard to keep the corner of my lips down, “you sound very forceful.” He smiles with me, “So is it working then?” It is working, probably a little too well. God why is it so hard for me to resist him? “Say something nicer,” I murmur. “I’ll probably say yes.” His breathing becomes
