Almost Stepbrother

Chapter Twenty One

Chapter Twenty One

"Wait but I thought your mom only had a boyfriend?" I said as Alec tried to go in his room to not answer my many questions I tried to push out of him in the car.

"They're married but I just don't want to make it seem like he's even a step father, no more questions," Alec said already closing the door on me but I pushed my way through his bedroom.

"You guys don't get along, he's kind of," I didn't know how to word how bad his stepdad was.

"Kallie I don't want to talk to you about my problems," Alec was changing his shirt and I laid down on his bed like this was normal but I knew it wasn't. I shouldn't have been lounging on his bed, expecting him to open up to me.

"Why not?"

"Because my problems have never been something we talked about," he said it like it wasn't news to either of us but it still surprised me, was that true?

"Why can't we change that?" I sat up then and looked at him waiting for him to answer truthfully.

He came towards me, shirt on now, and placed his hands on my cheeks and leaned down a little making me stop breathing, "because this proximity was all we really ever knew about each other. Talking was never our style was it?" he stared at me waiting for me to break into his spell and I wanted to, I wanted to prove him right but I ignored my wants and spoke.

"We both have changed since freshman year Alec," I placed my hands on his chest and pushed lightly.

"Have we?" Alec smirked at me and moved away from me before leaving his room.

I had to catch my breath and relax my heart racing, the proximity always was hard for me. He made me go insane and I hated it. He knew every weakness but yet he still didn't push as much as he could've. He knows all my weak points in my body and yet he gave up and walked away.

Instead of ignoring the part of me that knew not to poke the lion I went to try again. He was lounging on the couch already turning on the PS4 and waiting for a game to come up.

"So you're staying over?" I waited for him to even answer but instead looked at me like I should already know that answer.

"Right, going on the PS4 should already answer my question," I sat down on the loveseat away from him and twiddled my thumbs like an idiot.

What were his weak points again that wasn't crossing the line of just friends. Right I don't know because we were never just friends.

"We should have a heart to heart!" I sounded overjoyed by how it came out of my own voice.

Alec looked at me and then his game that just started before ignoring me and choosing the game instead.

I rolled my eyes at his sly remark before getting up and going into the kitchen, I looked down at my phone that was facing face up and saw that I was put into a group chat with a bunch of numbers I didn't know.

"Where did you and Romeo head off too? I realized you weren't in class after lunch, and Romeo never showed back up either." the text read.

"????" I decided to send to be on the safe side of the possibility of it being Will or Hannah trying to mess with me.

"Evelyn, you stupid bitch. How would you feel if you got a text from a number you didn't know? I'd respond the same way, hell no I wouldn't. I'd block your ass."

Another text came in.

"Says the one who didn't say who was texting back, Isabella you ugly hoe."
