Am I Dreaming? // Ivan Martinez

Chapter 42

**Emilio's POV**

After last night, seeing Sophie and Ivan asleep together broke my heart. I admit I am jealous and have been for a while but how can I not be? If only I had chat her up, if only I impressed her, maybe she would have been mine. I can't keep these feelings to myself much longer. I need to tell someone. That someone will be Rueben.

**later on**

Ivan and Soph just left to grab some food. This is my chance to talk to Rueben. I just hope he will understand.
"Rueben!" I called from the living room.
"Yeah?" He responded.
"Come here a minute, I need to tell you something."
"Oh god, what have you done now?" He sighed, taking a seat on the sofa opposite.
I took a deep breath before telling him the whole story.

"You what?!" Was Reuben's initial reaction. I sighed, beginning to regret my decision. Maybe this was a bad idea after all.
"I know it sounds bad-" "sounds bad? Do you have any idea how mad he will be when he finds out?!" Rueben interrupted.
"He won't find out!" I shouted.
"The truth always comes out" Rueben sighed.
"You're meant to be his brother, not his girlfriend stealer" he said.
"He can never find out..."

**Ivan's POV**

Sophie and I arrived outside the house, but before we entered, I could head Rueben and Emilio almost shouting at each other. Soph and I exchanged a concerned expression but continued to listen in, intrigued by the sudden argument.
"You're meant to be his brother, not his girlfriend stealer" I heard Rueben say.
"He can never find out" were the last words that left Emilio's mouth.
My eyebrows furrowed with confusion as did Sophie's. Regardless, I opened the door and we both walked in as if neither of us heard anything.
