To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

The blaring sound of my phone ringing made the both of us jump as we both flew apart from each other. I looked around in embarrassment as I searched for my phone and Xander pointed out that it was in my pocket.

I cussed silently as I picked my phone out of my pocket to check the caller ID. I swear if it’s Mason, I would cuss him out before asking him never to call me ever again.

I sighed when I saw that it was my mum. Why is she calling me at this perfect time? She’d ruined what was supposed to go on between I and Xander.

I looked at him and he also seemed embarrassed as he picked out his phone to scroll through it. I picked the call to stop the torturing sound of my ringtone.

“Mum?” I said into the phone, no matter how hard I tried, my anger and embarrassment could be heard in my voice.

“Where are you?” She asked and I groaned, does she still think I’m a baby for her to always keep tabs on me.

“Mason called me just now to tell me you haven’t been home and it’s getting late.” She added, she was worried about me.

“I told you I tutor Xander, right?” I asked, “I’m with him right now and we’re studying but I’ll be home soon since we’re almost done. I’m sorry mom.” I explained as I apologised to her for the fact that I’ll be getting home late.

“It’s fine, just be sure to get home early and say hi to Xander for me.” She said and I told her I would before she hung the call up.

I turned to look at Xander and he still seemed busy with his phone before I called his name.

“I’m sorry but I have to go now,” I apologised and Xander told me he understood that I have to be home soon.

“But, we’ll get to meet on Saturday, right?”

I added and he nodded instantly.

I couldn’t wait to get some alone time with him again, perhaps by then, we might finally get to kiss.

I felt some sort of connection to him, which I couldn’t really understand yet.

We both walked to the bus stop and when the next bus came, Xander pulled me in for a hug before saying his goodbye and I took the bus home.

The ride on the bus home wasn’t as long as I thought it would be with the thought of Xander filling my mind and making me feel a little giddy. I really couldn’t wait to see him again.

Who knew that me agreeing to tutor him would lead to this?

I got home and the house was unusually silent. I made my way to the hallway and for a moment I’d thought Mason wasn’t home until I heard slight moans echoing from his side of the hallway, making me let out a groan.

He’s home.

“Fuck, yes.” The random girl of today screamed and I immediately covered my ears to restrict it from hearing any more disgusting sounds, like the wet sounds that were getting embarrassingly louder and louder.

I retched as I walked past his room and the sound of the girl’s moan annoyed me even more that I felt like kicking his door down and yanking her out of the house naked with her hair.

I walked to my room with my hand still on both my ears as I got inside. I picked up my phone to call Nicole and tell her about what’s currently happening.

She picked on the second ring and what she said next was typical of her and I wasn’t expecting any less.

“Are you still a virgin?” She asked and I rolled my eyes in disgust, “I’ll be disappointed in not you but Xander if you answer yes to that question.” She added and I laughed.

“Yes, I still have my virginity,” I answered and I heard her groan, “Xander is just a guy I’m tutoring and no one is losing their virginity to anyone.” I answered with a laugh.

“How the fuck is he going to be just a guy you’re tutoring?” She asked and I had no idea what she meant by that question, “Xander is a hot dude and goodness gracious, I thought I was starting to rub off on you.” She added and I laughed.

“Stop overreacting, Nicole.” I cautioned.

“Don’t tell me to stop overreacting, you have no idea how to have fun.” She added with a hiss and I rolled my eyes again.

We spoke for a while and hung up as I laid on my bed with the thought of what would have happened between Xander and I.

We were at the verge of kissing and I have no idea what would have happened if my mum didn’t call, I wasn’t sure of how far I’d have been able to go, but one thing was sure, and it was that I might most definitely not been able to go all the way with him.

I sighed at the thought before bringing myself back to order, I shouldn’t be thinking about him like this and just like I said to Nicole, he’s just a guy and I want him to remain that way, even though I felt a little bit of something for him.

I’m never going to let anything like that happen again. I closed my eyes to try and catch a nap when my stomach growled. I’d thought I was only hungry but the pain soon intensified and I clutched my stomach tightly.

I tossed and turned on the bed before finally deciding to stand up and get to the restroom, I stood up to see my bed stained with blood already.

Great, what a great way to end the day.

I should’ve known. I snatched a tampon and walked out of the room as I made my way to the bathroom in anger and frustration.

I groaned again when the pain kept growing stronger and I walked slowly down the hallway, I got to the bathroom to see Mason come out of there and he wasn’t alone, he was with a girl, probably the one he was fucking when I walked in.

I stood, waiting for them to get out of my way so I could get to use the bathroom but he thought I was looking at him.

“Stop gawking at me, if I wanted to have you I would’ve taken you but it’s so unfortunate that you’re not my type.” Mason said and I hissed.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

What makes him think I was gawking at him?

I pushed him out of my way and he almost hit his head as I rushed into the toilet before banging the door right in his face.

I really couldn’t wait for the bathroom in my bedroom to be fixed so I wouldn’t have to keep getting into stupid situations like this one.
