To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

Picking up my phone, I texted Mason and he replied almost immediately, we texted about how we both wished we could spend the night together.

I really do wish I could spend the night with him but I couldn’t since I was already in my mum’s room and the only thing I can do now is to wait till morning before seeing Mason again.

“Ooh, who’s he?” My mum’s voice from behind me made me jump and I almost dropped my phone in fear.

How long has she been standing there for? Did she see who I was texting?

“Mum!” I called angrily as I stood to face her, “you scared me.” I pointed out, clutching my chest and she laughed as she dried her hair.

She’d told me she was going to take a shower and I was so engrossed in the chat with Mason that I had no idea when she got into the room.

“Since when have you been here?” I asked, looking confused as I searched her eyes for answers that weren’t really there.

“See? You were so into the chat with him that you didn’t know when I walked in,” she said amidst laughter and I only shrugged, “I only just got in so don’t worry you still have your privacy.” She added.

I’ve never felt this much relief in my entire life. What would I have done if she saw that Mason was the one I was talking to?

“Well, you shouldn’t creep up on me like that. It’s scary and I don’t know.” I said as I walked past her and towards the bed.

She followed me, laughing at me before sitting on the chair in front of the dressing mirror to start her nighttime skincare routine.

“You should invite him for dinner, I really want to see that boy that got you like this.” She started and I could swear that my spit went down the wrong pipe.

“Well, he’s not ready to meet the entire family yet.” I lied after thinking about it carefully for a while and my mum shrugged as she told me that there was no pressure.

I sat on the bed for over thirty minutes as I listened to my mum lecture me about responsibility and safety and I couldn’t help but think about last night.

Did we use any form of protection?

My chest clenched as I thought about it but I managed to shake the thought out of my head as my mum joined me on the bed.

We spoke some more and she told me about how loving Danny has been towards her and how she loved him too.

I couldn’t be happier for her but what would happen if she found out that I’m in love with her husband’s son and have in fact lost my virginity to him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“I’m just glad you’re all grown up now.” She smiled and I laughed as I told her that I’ve been a grownup since I turned eighteen.

I opened my eyes to see the bright room and I was still in my mum’s room. Jumping out of bed, I walked down the stairs but she was nowhere to be found.

Walking back to my room, I decided to have my bath and dress up before going to see Mason.

I missed him so much.

When I was done, I went to his room and knocked on the door but there was no answer. The sound of plates clattering downstairs made me go down there.

“Oh you’re awake.” He said with a smile when he saw me and I sprinted to him and threw myself at him. He pulled away from me and kissed me before asking me to have breakfast.

“You know, my friends and I are thinking about having this field trip and I want you to come, you can invite Nicole and Ryan too.” He started and the idea sounded fun.

“That sounds like fun but what about our parents?” I asked and he shrugged.

“Leave that to me, I’ll convince them.” He assured me and I was happy with that. I finished with my breakfast and kissed Mason as I got out to go to school.

My phone rang and I picked it up to see that it was a call from my mum. She never calls me at times like this because she knew I’d be in school.

Reluctantly, I picked it up and I heard the news I wasn’t expecting to hear. She’d told me that my cousin would be in town for two days and would also spend the two days with us.

“Remember to tell Mason about it since the boys would be sharing a room. He should get to know about it.” She finished and I assured her that I would before hanging up.

I hated the news and the fact that I wouldn’t be able to spend the night with Mason made me sad a little bit but I shrugged it off.

Maybe this is going to be a chance for me to organize my thoughts and get my priorities right. I could also invite Nicole over so I wouldn’t be bored out of my life.

Classes went well but were a little bit stressful and Nicole wouldn’t stop talking about it when we went to have lunch.

“My cousin is coming over and he’ll be staying with us for two days.” I sighed and Nicole immediately took that as her cue to console me.

“C’mon. I’m not sad about that, it’s sad but I’m fine. I needed some time for myself anyway to organize my thoughts.” I explained and she nodded her head in agreement.

“That’s right and I can come over too and we would definitely have lots of fun together.” She started, voicing out my thoughts and I agreed immediately,

We finished lunch and went back to classes. I couldn’t be happier when classes were over and it was time to go home.
