Chase, My Step Brother

Chapter Six - Bonding Time -

Detention was very long and drawn out, I didn’t understand the point. I mean the teacher came to make sure everyone turned up and today he was graced with only 5 including myself, then he took off leaving the class with just us students. Two of them left after the teacher had left and I sat confused on how to pass the time so I used it to message my hopeful ride.

After an hour the two students who took off wandered back in 2 minutes before the teacher arrived telling us we could leave. Really no punishment there at all, I texted the entire time. I was happy he agreed to pick me up but still a little embarrassed I snooped to texting him. I wandered to the car park and noticed the familiar sleek black Range Rover parked mostly in the garage. I awkwardly strolled over as I saw him get out the car casually, he was dressed rather over the top to pick me. Looked like he was going out, I hope I didn’t inconvenience him.

“So, now will you tell me why I had to come pick you” he grinned perfectly making any girls heart melt but I had to stayed composed. There were the other detention students walking around the car park too and I didn’t want them seeing my drool. Their eyes on Chase did catch my attention though.

“First off I want to thank you so much you’re a life saver I owe you” I blurted with a big smile as I walked towards his car. He leaned against the bonnet arms crossed over his chest as his arms bulged through his shirt.

“Yeah you owe me, I’m missing half of a movie because of this” I frowned as guilt consumed me, I had become a hassle.

“I’m just messing with you, it’s not till later so I thought I better get changed before I pick you up that way I can leave straight away” he smiled pushing off walking to the passenger door, I gave a half smile still feeling like a burden as I climbed into the truck. He was being a gentleman which was different from any guy at my school, even Carter didn’t open doors for Amber. He shut my door and made his way around to the driver’s side, I was almost nervous to be in his car as I had well never been alone with Chase for any amount of time. Let alone in his car. He started the car and drove out on to the main road as I distracted myself by looking at the outdoor scenery.

“So why did you text me?” he piped up as I scrunched my face unsure whether or not to tell him.

“Because I had a detention” I bit my lip disappointed with myself.

“So?” he laughed playful as I glanced over to his carefree face.

“Well I was scared to tell my Dad because I didn’t want him thinking I was a rebel or a disappointment” I continued as Chase’s eyes occasionally left the road to glance over to me reassuring.

“I’m sure he would be fine, he’s used to me having detentions all last year” I was surprised by his carefree attitude and the fact he was such a bad ass, who would have thought.

“Still I’ve never had a detention in my life so I’m not used to talking about things like this to a parent” I reminded him as his smile turned half smirk which was exceptionally breath taking.

“So you are telling me this is your first? Well I feel privileged that I was able to witness your first” he teased as I was confused on whether it was a flirtacious remak or just friendly, never was good at deciphering these kinds of things but the way he said it made my cheeks flare up.

“First and last” I corrected proudly as I was sure not to end up wasting an hour of my life in there again.

“Sure sure” he teased as he placed his hand on my thigh gently and gave it a slight squeeze, I was so shocked that I forgot to breath for a few seconds but as soon as his hand left my thigh and back to the wheel I inhaled.
