He raises his eyebrows as he says, “We only met last night. I dont think i gave you any impression of being a dick.”
Well, he didn’t, but his flirting didn’t leave a good impression either! I quietly take a sip of juice without answering him. f**k, I am still feeling embarrassed about this morning, but thankfully, he didn’t say anything about it.
“By the way, you look beautiful. And I am sure you would even look more beautiful without any towel wrapped around that hot body.” He whispers in my ears, and I choke on my juice while I hear him.
Chuckling, he hands me water. Coughing vigorously, I drink water and glare at him. My face becomes flushed in embarrassment. Hell! I was right. He wasn’t being nice for nothing! d**k!
Our parents came before I could say anything to him. I tried to calm down so that I would not let them know anything.
“What's wrong, Eve? Are you okay?” Mom asks as she pats my back.
"Yeah, I am fine. I just choked on juice, nothing else.” I say.
“Silly girl.” Mom says, relieved that I am fine.
“I see you guys are getting along well.” Adrain says looking at me and Ashton.
“Yeah. We are getting along very well, right sister?” He asks, looking at me with a teasing smile. My lips twitch seeing him act.
“Yeah." I say, plastering a fake smile on my face.
“Adrain told me you guys decided to match colours for our wedding. I am relieved to see that you guys are getting close so quickly.” Mom says happily.
Wait! What? That d**k! He told me that Adrain asked him to match with me! I glare at him, to which he replies with a wink and smirk.
After the ceremony ended, I came to my room. As I came out of the shower, my phone started ringing. I picked it up and saw that Joey was Calling. She is my best friend, but sadly, I had to leave her when I moved here. We used to go to the same school. We have been friends since childhood, and our parents were also friends.
When I pick up the call, I put the phone on my ear, but when I hear a loud scream, I put the phone away from my ears.
“Girl! I missed you! You won’t believe what happened!” She says all excited to share whatever happened with me.
“I missed you too, Jo. And what happened?” I ask as I lay on my bed.
“You won't believe it! Ethen came to me and asked where you were! Heck, he pestered me the whole day! He even asked for your number!” She says.
“Wait, wait, wait, What?" I say, not believing her.
“Girl! Yeah! It's true! I can’t understand what’s got into him suddenly.” She says.
“Hold on. You mean Ethen asked for my number and pestered you for me? How is that possible? Don't pull a prank on me, Joo!” I say, still not believing her.
I just couldn’t. Ethen... I have had a crush on Ethen from childhood. I have always expressed my liking towards him. Heck, I even pestered him shamelessly. Joey, however, knew that I actually had deep feelings for them. He wasn’t just a crush. He is handsome, intelligent, Gentlemen, and everything a girl could ask for in a boy. And I have loved him for a long time. What I didn’t understand was why he never took a liking to me. I was the most popular girl on campus. I am beautiful, and boys always chase after me, but he never even glanced my way.
After all these years, I finally decided to give up on him when I moved here. But suddenly, he is searching for me? When he didn’t even glance my way in all these years? Now that's hard to believe.
“Girl? Girl! Where are you?!”Joey says not getting any response from me.
“Ye-yeah.Sorry, what were you saying?” I ask, coming out of my thoughts.
“I asked if I should give him your number. I told him that you moved away, but he still asked for your number.” Joey says.
“Forget it. I have already decided to give up on him. I don't want to think about the past anymore.” I say sighing.
“So, how are your stepfather and stepbrother? Are they good to you?”Joey asks worried about me.
“Yeah my stepfather is very good to me. But can't say the same for his son though.” I say, getting angry as I remember all the incidents with him.
Joey laughs out loud as I tell her everything that has happened between Ashton and me.
“What are you laughing at?!” I ask annoyed.
“Oh my god. I have a feeling that you guys are going to have a long history with each other—maybe some spicy history.” She says, laughing.
“Shut up. I don't like him, and he is my stepbrother. Don't say those things.” I say.
“Ahh, fine, fine. Whatever, When are you starting school?”
After talking with her for over an hour, I go to sleep.
The next morning, I get up and take a bath. As I open my door. The door opposite my room also opens and there stood my stepbrother. f**k, he looked hot in that black T-shirt and white jacket. I withdrew my gaze when I felt his gaze on me and started walking downstairs with him following behind me.
While having breakfast, my mom told me to get ready after having breakfast and to go to school with Ashton to fulfill my transfer procedure.
As I get out of the house, I see Ashton leaning against his Bentley. Seeing me come out, he straightens and opens the door for me. Surprised at his gentlemanly gesture, I raise my eyebrows and get in the car.
As he starts the car, he says, “You look beautiful, princess.”
“What did you just call me?” I ask frowning.
“Get used to it. I am going to call you whatever I like-princess, love, darling, baby, whatever I want.” He says giving me a wink.
I frown but don't talk back as I don’t want to ruin my mood in the morning and look out the window.
