My Future Stepbrother

Chapter 114

We woke up the next morning and honestly, I expected it to be really weird. To my surprise Chad didn’t make a single lewd comment. As if last night didn’t happen at all and I was grateful. It was embarrassing enough I had a dirty dream about the guy and he knew it, without him reminding me every few minutes.

I hadn’t even got to the locker yet when Brie spotted us and started to scan her eyes between Chad and me.

“Al. Toilets. Now.” She grabbed me by the arm and pulled me across to the ladies with Kallie following behind. Fuck how does she always know these things?!

She slammed the door shut and checked the cubicles were all empty before talking.

“Okay what happened.” She was scanning me like I might have ‘I messed around with Chad last night’ tattooed on my body or something.

“Nothing.”

“Aleah!” I hated when she used that tone with me.

“I had a dream..”

“And?”

“..We kissed”

“And?”

“He touched me a bit..”

“AND?!”

“WE DRY HUMPED UNTIL HE CAME ALL OVER MY ASS! YOU HAPPY?!”

Kallie tried to cover her giggling poorly with a cough at my little sexual outburst.

I turned and lay my forehead against the cold tiles in an attempt to cool my red hot embarrassment.

“Aleah Davies! Please at least tell me there were decent orgasms? Make the gonorrhoea worth it.”

“Two.” I mumble against the tiles.

She starts to laugh.

“Brianna it’s not funny! He fucking knows it happened too! Caught me coming back after mopping up the fucking puddle he left me in. Have I gone mad?”

It’s too much for her and she holds onto Kallie tightly as she tries to stay upright in her fit of hysterics.

“Oh Al... I’m sorry but it’s too funny to not laugh! Are you okay? I mean, did it change anything with you two?”

I shrug. “I don’t know... I mean I really fucking enjoyed it when it was happening and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t the slightest bit upset when I realised it was just a dream but.... I still don’t think I’m ready for anything with anyone. My feelings for Jayce haven’t changed... as much as I want them too just fuck off and leave me alone... like he did.”

Brie and Kallie pull me into a group hug.  “It’ll be okay babe. You’ll get there. Now come on nympho, we’re gonna be late.”

Chad was his usual hands on self today despite what happened last night. It clearly hadn’t made the slightest bit of difference to him. He knew how I still felt about my ex and how I wasn’t ready for anything else but it didn’t seem to phase him, he just still wanted to be close to me.

I thought a lot about everything that had happened the last few weeks, I realised what I really wanted I couldn’t have and I needed to start accepting that. I wanted to turn back time, I wanted Jayce to not have done that with Brittany, I wanted the world to know about us right now and to be shopping for winter formal dresses with Brie and Kal while I gush about how fucking amazing he is. I didn’t want to be having kinky dreams about Chad. This isn’t the position I wanted to be in but I didn’t fucking get us here, he did.

I couldn’t keep doing this to myself. I had to start to let it all go and stop being so scared to let myself feel happiness again, not everything that brought me joy would end up like it did with Jayce.

The rest of the day was better, joyful even. It was the first day of a three day heatwave - Yes in winter, welcome to global warming in Westbrooke. So we spent lunch hanging on the grass. A few of the guys from the team joined us with Chad, much to Bries displeasure, until she got chatting to Josh about Harley then she was much happier.


Chad was on best behaviour, well for Chad. He kept his contact on the top end of friendly, although he still insisted on holding my hand to class. Brie dropped me back to the Manor after school, leaving me on the corner as she had to get to teach a class.


I'd promised dad I'd stay tonight but as I walked up the gravel drive I saw Jayce’s car, unmoved from the moment he left. A pang of regret for my actions last night hit me, I knew when he found out I’d thought that way about Chad, or the fact I’d been staying with him, he’d be hurt. Considering he hadn't even spoken to me since he left maybe I was putting to much stock in him feeling anything for me on his return. Why the fuck hasn’t he called me? I know it was bad but still... didn’t he miss me like I did him?


The cloud I'd been floating on for most of the day started to lose its lustre as I stepped into the Manor. I could feel the emotional leakage wanting to fall again so I zipped it upstairs before anyone could see me, they were busy chatting in the kitchen anyway and I'd just have a good cry in the shower then join them for playing happy families. I was getting really good at hiding what I was feeling around everyone at this point.


I stepped into my room but for some reason it didn't feel so hollow anymore, it actually felt comforting to be around my stuff again. I smiled looking at the jewellery box my mum had bought me so long ago as I walked past it, running my fingers over the top. I needed to the window though to let in some air, it was so stuffy.


The heat was unbearable earlier but now a cool breeze filled the air as it whistled in through the window against my flush face, letting my hair blow away from me. I felt almost free, like an unknown presence was taking the weight I was carrying from me for a moment. I’ll never get bored of this view, the trees swaying gently along the freshly swept road. I had to start staying here again, it wasn’t fair to dad for me to keep disappearing. It was just so hard because every detail of the place reminded me of...


"Hello beautiful."


My heart stopped.


That voice. There is no-one else on earth that can do to me what he can with a single word. Every part of me wanting to turn and run towards it but I won’t allow my feet to move.

Jayce.


He's back.
