To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

I waited for Mason all night but he never came into my room like he used to. Groaning, I stood up from the bed to get ready for the day.

I picked up my phone to send another text to Mason and just like last night, he only read it and didn’t reply. Frustrated, I tossed my phone back on the bed as I made my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Picking out a comfortable outfit, I made my way down the stairs since my mom already informed me that breakfast was ready.

Breakfast was silent and agonizing and I was grateful that neither one of our parents mentioned anything about us not talking to each other, they only stared at us suspiciously.

After Breakfast, Mason stood to leave the dining room and I stood at once too, sprinting as fast as I could. I made sure I got to the door before him and blocked the entrance.

“Why are you being such a jerk?” I asked, fuming and I just knew that my face would be red with anger and fury.

Why is he being such a jerk? Giving me a cold shoulder for a reason I had no idea about.

“Talk to me and stop being silent, you….” I was still talking when he pulled me away from the door softly and walked inside.

I’d wanted to follow him but he slammed the door in my face just when I was about to enter and I heard the locking sound click.

Angry and frustrated, I hissed as I walked away from his door and back down the stairs. A tingling sixth sense told me that he was only mad at me because of the car Danny got me.

But, why is he mad at me for having a car when he had one himself?

“Hey Danny,” I called and he dropped the remote he had with him as he turned to look at me, “can you please drop me off at Nicole’s?” I asked and without hesitation he sprung up.

The drive to Nicole’s house was silent and I just didn’t feel like talking to anyone but my best friend at the moment.

We got there and I asked that Danny join me so I would be able to formally introduce him to Nicole. He answered and after introducing them, he drove off.

“Oh my gosh!” Nicole gushed, swooning and gawking at Danny as he drove away, “he is smoking hot for his age!” She added and I rolled my eyes.

“Now I know where Mason got the hotness from, it’s in the goddamn genes.” She finally finished and not interested in what she had to say about Danny, we both went inside.

We had cookies and soon got to talking. I asked how she was able to finish the fight between them and she told me they had makeup sex and everything was fine.

“So, well, we decided to try something new and it was so fucking worth it. My hands tied behind my back and I was blindfolded, the anticipation was killing and you know what’s more better than sex?” She asked and I raised an eyebrow.

Does Nicole really have something better than sex? “What?” I asked.

“The anticipation.” She answered before going into details of all the things they did while she had her ‘bondage sex’.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

It sounded like fun but I had no idea if it was something I was going to want to try.

“You know what, you won’t get it. When you and Mason starts fucking then you’ll know and give me all the full deets.” She said amidst laughter and I furrowed my eyebrow.

“Don’t talk about him or even mention his name.” I cautioned and Nicole was surprised, she asked if we fought and I told her everything that happened last night.

“First of all, congratulations on the car! We can finally go on a road trip,” she started, “What if he isn’t really jealous about your new car?” She asked and I raised an eyebrow.

“Why then will he be acting like such a dune head? I don’t even know if that’s a word.” I rolled my eyes.

“Probably because you wouldn’t be needing his help getting rides anymore since you now have your own car.” She explained and even though it made sense, I still couldn’t bring myself to believe it.

“There’s no way he’ll be jealous about something like that.” I replied and she only shrugged as she asked me to talk to him about it when I got home.

Finally dropping the fight between Mason’s and I, Nicole and I started talking about the courses we would be dropping by the time we get back to school next week.

“I just want to start taking half the classes you take,” she explained, “is Mason done with school?” She asked and I shook my head.

“He’s in his final year in college so he doesn’t take many classes.” I answered as I kept munching on the cookie with me.

It started getting late and I went back home to see dinner ready, we all ate and when Mason still wouldn’t talk to me after dinner, I followed him into his room despite his refusal.

“Why are you being like this?” I asked, my voice threatening to break, “is this it? Is this how we go back to being strangers because I really don’t want that.” I added and I saw his shoulders relax.

“I’m sorry,” he apologized as he pulled me closer to him, “it’s just, you’ve gotten your own car now and won’t be needing my help so much anymore.” He added and I laughed.

“Oh c’mon, I would be needing tons of rides and I’d rather ask you than anyone else. Besides, you’ll be the one to teach me how to drive so you don’t have to worry about that.” I said amidst laughter.

“Well, my mom left my dad and I for someone else, you learn to drive now and would probably just drive off to somewhere very far away and I don’t want that, I don’t know what I’d do if that happens.” He explained and my heart ached for him.

“You don’t worry about that, I’m never going to leave you. I love it here with you, you’re my everything.” I assured him and he smiled as he leaned in to kiss me.

“Also, I missed you so much, can I sleep here tonight?” I asked and he nodded with a smile.

We both walked to the bed and Mason was the big spoon. The way he held me made me feel safe and his breath on my neck was like the assurance I needed that he’d always be here.

Damn, I really do love him.
