To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

I called Nicole back and she told me she was going to tell me about everything when she gets here. It didn’t take long for her to get to my place.

She had a fight with Ryan and I offered a bowl of Ice cream to make her feel better. It was a silly fight and neither Nicole or Ryan wanted to apologize to the other.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“How hard is it to just say sorry.” Nicole said with her mouth full of Ice cream and I laughed as I just rubbed her back. She likes it when I do that.

“Frankly, you could’ve told him that you were sorry too,” I started and she shot me a glare, “but it’s none of your fault.” I immediately added.

“Let’s not talk about me and Ryan anymore, tell me, did you enjoy your party?” She asked and my eyes lit up as I told her everything that happened at the party.

I told her about Mason and I making out and how Mason beat up a guy that came onto me and her face fell.

“Now, I wish I was at the party, it sounds like so much fun,” she sighed and I laughed, “by the way, how is it going with Mason?” She asked.

“Oh, it is heavenly and he’s changed a lot, he’s really romantic and adorable,” I started talking as Nicole only listened with keen interest, “and now we’re dating.” I finished and she gasped.

We haven’t really given our relationship a title until that night when he called me his girlfriend, the fact that he called me that still gives me butterflies.

“Also, I really think I love him so much but I don’t know, I haven’t told him about that feeling yet because I don’t want it to be too sudden and all of that.” I explained and Nicole agreed with me.

“That might just ruin things between you too,” she finally said as she stuffed her mouth with more Ice cream, “I’ve been meaning to ask, you both had sex yet or you’re just doing the boring things?” She added and I laughed.

I explained to her that I wasn’t ready for the sex party yet but we’ve done a lot more than kissing and Nicole laughed at me before seeing the sense in what I said.

Nicole and I kept talking and we also put makeup on our face so we could take pictures together. The day seemed to be going by quickly and just at the moment we finished watching our movie, we heard a knock on the door.

Going to get it, I met Ryan there and he told me that he was here to get Nicole, he finally apologized and they both left.

Smiling, I was happy to see that they’ve finally made up. Really, Ryan and Nicole can’t do without each other, they barely even fight for a whole day.

I went back inside after telling Nicole goodbye and I went up to Mason’s room. He was playing video games but I was bored with no one to talk to.

I would randomly press on one of the buttons on the console or walk in front of him so he wouldn’t see what he was doing, it was all a ploy to ruin his game.

Mason tried to teach me how to play the game but it was useless, I barely knew what I was doing and also wasn’t in the mood to play any stupid video game.

His attention is the only thing I wanted at that moment and I was happy when he stopped playing to focus on me.

“Nicole left already?” He asked and I nodded affirmatively, “you know, I’ve been thinking and now that you’re here, we’re going to do it.” He continued.

My chest tightened and I thought he was talking about us having sex, I’d wanted to talk when he pulled out the paper I wrote my bucket lists.

“We’re adding skydiving and skinny dipping.” He finally finished and I laughed. I had no idea that he still had the paper with him.

Mason is so romantic and I still find it difficult to believe that I’d misjudged and think he was a jerk but for most months of us being together he was really a jerk to me.

We added skydiving and skinny dipping to the list and Mason kissed me before lifting me off the ground and dumped me on the bed and I couldn’t hold back my laughter.

He tickled me and I laughed so hard that my rib began to hurt. Stopping, he laid beside me and we both fought to catch our breath as we laid on the bed.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in as he spooned me. Every moment with Mason was all shades of amazing and beautiful.

“It’s just so sad that our parents are married,” I started and Mason sighed, “I really like what we have going on and I’m so happy with you.” I added.

“I’m happy with you too,” he spoke as he held me tighter, “I have an idea. We could break our parents up so we can stay together.” He added and I immediately turned to look at him as I playfully tapped his shoulder.

“We can’t possibly do that, they are so happy together and Danny loves my mum so much I have never seen her that happy too.” I protested and Mason laughed.

“It was just a joke, Ava,” he let out amidst laughter and I calmed down, “I’m not that bad a person, I can never do something that horrible.” He added and I nodded as he pulled me back into him.

His breath on my face felt like heaven, it was the most beautiful thing ever. I traced my finger on his chest as if I was drawing something.

“I like you so much and I don’t care about anything or anyone else.” He confessed, the way he said it made my heart flutter.

“I really do like you too.” I replied. I don’t really like him, I’m head over heels in love with him but I didn’t want to tell him that just yet.

He lifted my gaze to meet him and his lips claimed mine, his lips were so supple that anytime they were on mine I’m always left yearning for more.

He broke the kiss and looked at me with a raised eyebrow, “what do we do now?” He asked.
