IN LOVE WITH DAVE: MY HOT STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 100
CARMEN“Mom!” I whispered as aggressively as I could to get her attention and stop her from going on with the call she was currently on with Kate, but she stepped away from me and walked off.“How are you doing? Are you at home right now?” She questioned Kate, and I grabbed on to her hand until she looked at me so that I could shake my head and let her know that telling Kate about it would be a big mistake.“Are you busy?” She stared at me this time, firm and silently telling me that she was going to do it and there was nothing I could do to stop her.“No, I just wanted to find out if you had the time to come over to the house. There’s something important that Carmen and I would like to talk to you about.”My eyes widened when she said that, and I shook my head, but it was already done late. She was now smiling as Kate replied to the offer.“Yes, Carmen is here,” she confirmed.As soon as she hung up, she gave me her full attention and cocked her head to the side.“What? Did you reall

CARMEN“Jasper, did my mother call you?” I asked, standing up as panic filled my entire body when I heard his loud and angry question about me and Dave.“You’re not even going to deny it?” He scoffed, confirming from my answer that whatever he had heard was true. “Where are you right now?”“We can talk about this, Jasper. Are you home? If you’re not, go home and I’ll come meet you there. I’m on my way,” I told him and headed straight for the door, but Terri stood in my way before I could reach the handle.“No, Carmen. I am not going to wait for you at home like some child. Tell me where you are right now and I’m going to pick you up,” he ordered, the tone of his voice letting me know that arguing with him over it would do nothing but prolong the issue and make him angrier.“I’m at Terri’s apartment,” I finally gave in, not making eye contact with Terri as I feared that she would be disappointed in me for telling him where I was when he was that angry.He hung up the phone, and I gave

CARMEN“Jasper,” I cried out as I went for the second option I had after finding out that he had locked the door – I started to open my purse and reach for my phone. “Please, don’t do this.”“I’m not going to do anything to you,” he assured me, his voice dangerously low.In a bid to dial 9-1-1 on my phone, I made the mistake of letting my purse fall to the floor and took his attention to my hands to see what I was doing.“You’re not listening to me, Carmen!” He yelled, grabbing my phone from my hand and throwing it aside.He stepped away from me and raised his hands in the air to show me his gesture of surrender and harmlessness.“I said, I am not going to do anything to you. I’m not going to hurt you,” he said again, walking even further back.“Open the door,” I requested, causing him to frown at my request.“We’re not done talking. We need to finish this right here and right now before any one of us walks out of this room,” he argued, and I nodded. “The first thing I need you to do

CARMEN“What?” I asked as Jasper stared at me after his command for me to call Kate and tell her what I had been doing with Dave.“You heard me, Carmen, but if you want me to tell you again, I want you to call Kate right in front of me and tell her what you have been doing behind her back with her husband, who happens to be your stepbrother,” he repeated.“Jasper, you know I cannot do that right now. It’s not my place. If anything, Dave should be the one who tells her about it,” I told him, my tone pleading.“Carmen, do you want to get a divorce?” he asked, sounding over and done with my words.“Why are you asking me that, Jasper? You just said you would want us to scrap everything and have us start all over again,” I reminded.“And I told you the one thing for you to do in order for that to happen,” he countered.“She deserves to hear it from the right person, Jasper—”“And what about me?!” he yelled, interrupting me. “Do you think I deserved to hear it from your mother? Why didn’t y

CARMEN“I’m coming back to the United States.”I didn’t know how to take the news. I couldn’t bring myself to think of what would happen the moment my parents set their eyes on each other again, and I had gotten used to my father being all the way in a different country, safe from whatever harm my mother had to inflict on him.“Why? I thought you would only come back after Steve is healed and everything,” I said as I wiped my tears.“That was the initial plan, but after Steve found out everything, I don’t think he can handle coming back here and seeing her after everything he knows. He wants her in prison before he comes back, and he wants his son fully protected as well as you, his stepdaughter.”I should have known that Steve would be completely shattered by the truth, but it had to be told to him. I imagined that it was better than dying without knowing that the person he trusted was the killer.“When do you think you can come?” I asked.“I was thinking of coming in five days, but

CARMENMy hands were still trembling when I found the file that I had been searching for, tucking it under my arm placing the diagnostics back where I had seen it.“Oh, my God,” I whispered as hot tears welled in my eyes and I made no attempt at blinking them back or even trying to cover up for it.“Oh, my God!” I repeated when I got into the bedroom and slammed the door shut. I took a picture of what my father had requested for and sent it to him before collecting myself into a ball on the floor as I stared into space.If Jasper had HIV, then I most definitely had it as well.“How the hell did he get something like that?!” I yelled, knowing that there was nobody around to hear me.I took my phone and started to research the causes of HIV in people as if I didn’t know most of it.“God, I cannot do this.” I shook my head, standing up and grabbing my purse before storming out of the house and getting into a taxi.Even the driver could tell that something was wrong from the way he kept g

CARMEN“It’s negative, Dave!” I announced when he picked up the phone, tears flowing down my eyes as I laughed.I didn’t notice how hard it had been for me to breathe until that moment when I realized that the air going into my lungs was easier in its passing.“Carmen,” he called my name as if he was also breathing a sigh of relief. I could hear him laughing at the other end of the phone, causing me to laugh with him.People walked past me, giving me a double take to figure out what was wrong or right with me.“Where are you right now? Can I come to pick you up? I feel like you’re drunk on all of these emotions—”“No, no!” I shook my head as if he could see me. “You don’t have to. I’ll go home and have a talk to Jasper about it. I think it’s going to affect his mental health in a bad way. With everything that’s been happening so far, I don’t think you and I should be seeing each other until it’s all settled.”“It’s completely fine. Just get home safe, okay?” he said.“Oh, I will,” I t

CARMEN“I cheated, Carmen.”I froze in place, not sure what to do about what Jasper had just confessed to me or how to take it.“How drunk are you right now?” I asked as I stared at him, trying to see if he was trying to play a sick trick on me.“Do you think I’m saying this because I’m drunk? I don’t…I don’t know how to keep this away from you anymore. It feels all wrong. We have both done each other wrong.”I took steps away from him with a shake of my head in confusion.“I don’t understand. Who did you cheat with? What do you mean by that?” I blurted, my heart starting to heat up as if someone had set fire to it.“Carmen, you said you were not going to leave me,” he reminded.“Is that how you got sick?” I asked, and he replied with nothing but silence that told me that my guess was most likely correct.“When did you do it? Did you even know the person that well, or was it just a moment with someone you didn’t know?” I didn’t know what I would do with the information if I got it, bu
