IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 40
TESSIE'S POV I was woken up the following morning by a loud knock at the door. At first, I woke up in a state of disorientation not sure whether I had actually heard it or it had been just in my imagination. Jace's hand was under my neck and my head was on his chest. had no idea how that had happened. Maybe I had turned in my sleep and he had been open enough to hold me like that. It wasn't the first time falling asleep in my bed together but this was different. And I was still mad at him for not defending me against Lexi. "Tessie? I need to get your clothes to do the laundry," the doorknob turned.I sat up quickly. That was Jace's mother. Thankfully the door was locked. I shook Jace vigorously trying to wake him up. He groaned and struggled to open his eyes. "Wake up dummy!" I slapped him lightly several times and whispered, "Your mom is standing outside the door. Go back to your room!" "What?" he sat up in confusion. "G
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 1: TESSIE'S POV
I turned lazily and accidentally kicked the alarm clock off the bedside table. The shattering sound it produced was enough to wake me up fully knowing that I had gotten myself in trouble. My dad had definitely heard that which meant that was another item added to the list of the things I was yet to pay for, all I had broken because of my clumsiness. I held my breath with my eyes closed waiting for his voice from downstairs but after two minutes, it didn't come. I frowned. Where was he? That was so unusual but maybe it was my lucky day. Maybe I was going to have a great start of my junior year but that would only happen if I got out of that bed and got ready. I was already running late as it was and my best friend Ava would be up my ass again. My phone rang. *Talk of the devil.* I thought as I flipped it to see the caller ID. "Hey bitch!" Ava greeted as soon as her face appeared on the screen. "You are not dressed yet?" she gasped.I lowered the camera trying to hide my pyjamas but i

"Did you get the pages for the maths homework?" I asked Ava as soon as I got back to class from a bathroom break only that Ava's mind was elsewhere. "Ava!" I shouted snapping her out of her daydreams. "I'm sorry, what?" she asked suddenly gathering her books. I sighed and sat down heavily. "What? Don't look at me like that, I'm heartbroken." "Or you are fantasizing about a certain hottie who isn't even in your class and is obviously worse than Tim." "Don't be so mean. How could you even compare him to my ugly ass ex? I also sat behind him in AP History. Apparently juniors and seniors are going to have it together this semester so joke's on you." I shook my head. Whenever Ava got like this, getting her back was next to impossible. I didn't blame her though. Any girl who set her eyes on the mysterious new student was prone to acquire that fever and even I had found myself thinking about him in one occasion or two and I didn't like that he was distracting me during my classes. What I
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 3: JASON'S POV
Playing football with the school team in my new school had been the highlight of my first day in the new town and just like my appearance had caused a stir the whole day in all my classes, the football field was no exception. I never cared about my looks like everyone else who wasn't me did. I never wanted to come off as obnoxious but the situations around me forced me to be using that as the only way to push people away from knowing who I really was. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Those were the moments I had to embrace and fit in but it was only because of my mother. Everything I did was for her otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to move states leaving behind the life I had known for eighteen years to start over in a new school in my senior year.I had just changed back into my regular clothes when a message popped up on my screen. It was my mother reminding me of the meeting we had with her new boyfriend. I loved her and it always made me happy to see her smiling especia
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 4: TESSIE'S POV
I ran upstairs and disappeared inside my room breathing hard. I couldn't believe my eyes or even any part of my body but most of all, I was mad. I was mad at my father for all the secrets and what they would have done but I was also mad at myself. His eyes, his face and his smile were stuck in my head. How could all those years of never being crazy about boys be deleted in just one day. I wasn't sure what I was even more mad about. Was it my father for keeping all this from me and then springing all of them at me at once or was it the fact that I had a crush on my stepbrother? "Oh God!" I exhaled sharply as the reality hit me right in the face. I started pacing up and down. If my dad was marrying his mother, that meant that we would be living together. How could I reset my mind and and divert my thoughts from what I had spent the whole day thinking about- what I was still thinking about? "Why does he have to be such a hottie?" I asked out loud in the empty room but a knock at my d
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 5: JASON'S POV
Meeting Tess Prescott had been surprising but within minutes of knowing her, I knew that if I focused more on making her an ally she could be my ticket out of the marriage my mother had saddled me into. Well, it was her marriage but being still in high school, I was forced to live with them which made it feel like a marriage to me too. I had never had to move in permanently with any of her boyfriends. Now we were moving across states and I was not ready to start a new life, even for her especially after I had found out that she had kept a secret from me.As she drove me across the town heading to my aunt's house where we had been staying before that day, I took some time to observe her. Her focus was on the road gripping the steering wheel with too much intensity that made it seem like she was hurting. Tess was obviously younger than me and I had already observed that she was shy. Attempting to make conversation with her always resulted in either being ignored or answered vaguely. I wa
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 6: TESSIE'S POV
I was at school early the following morning for two reasons. Firstly, it was because my father had agreed to let me use my car before the doctor's appointment. I didn't have to wait for the bus which always came much later than the students who drove or cycled to school. Secondly, I had been determined to leave before my father and her new girlfriend woke up because I didn't want to be subjected to another conversation involving that woman. Sure, I was happy that my dad was happy but that didn't mean that I would get used to it so quickly.Ava arrived shortly after me and we walked inside together. As usual, she was her cheerful self which meant the previous evening had turned out fairly otherwise she would have been complaining and guilt-tripping me for abandoning her. I didn't have to ask to get the conversation because, by the time we got to our lockers, she had narrated the whole story about her evening. "Wait, you what?" I asked turning to her. "I poured coffee on her. Pretty s
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 7: JASON'S POV
I walked into the room I was supposed to attend an advanced math class in but stopped at the door the moment I saw her. She was seated alone reading a book I couldn't see, her curly hair covering her face. I watched her for a while knowing that she couldn't see me. Tess was wary of me in a way that I couldn't explain but it was fascinating which bothered me. In a whole school with over thirty girls in each class, cheerleaders and other cool girls who would fit the perfect definition of the cutest high school couple, with my looks and with a hoard of girls all over me but still, none of them had moved me like Tess had. I was obnoxious, sure but I was whenever I needed to be. I figured that maybe if I tried to show her the version of me that she hadn't seen, maybe she would stop treating me like the enemy. I needed her in my corner. I closed my eyes and sighed deeply. Who was I kidding? It was no longer about breaking up our parents. I wasn't a kid anymore to do that stuff. Why couldn't
