To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

Nicole and I had fun and although we went out only for a cup of coffee, we did a lot more things. We went sightseeing because we missed everything and when it was late, we made our way back home.

Getting into my room we both sat on the bed exhausted and ready for our sleepover. Nicole and I laid down and began to talk about things. I listened with keen interest as she told me about all that happened during the break.

“We visited lots of places and god, do I love his cousins! They were so nice and sweet to me.” She continued and we’ll both laugh at the funny ones.

My interest grew as Nicole told me about Ryan’s family and everything. When she was done, she turned to me and nudged me to start talking.

I told her about the Island and all of the expensive places I visited which was all thanks to Danny and my mum. I told her about the beach and the stars and her eyes lit up.

I knew it wasn’t because of what I was talking about, she’d always considered me boring but after what I explained to her, I guess she felt a little bit interested.

“Did you meet anyone? A guy? Cute one? Tell me!” She started, her curiosity going over the edge and I laughed.

Nicole is always curious when it comes to things like this so I didn’t blame her. I sighed as I thought about her question before answering.

“Not really.” I finally spoke after a while of silence and Nicole sprung to her feet.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“What do you mean not really?” She asked, “you mean, all through the break you didn’t meet anyone that spikes your interest?” She asked again and I shook my head.

“I did meet some guys but well, Mason sent them all away, barking and snarling at them like an overprotective brother.” I explained and Nicole laughed.

The memory of what happened that night at the club flooded me and now that I think about it, I loved it. He was only being overprotective and looking out for me.

“Well, that’s how brothers behave. They’re all the same.” Nicole laughed and I faked a gag.

“It was horrible, I mean, how do you expect your sisters to meet a guy or date one when you keep sending all of them away?!” I said amidst laughter.

“I know, right?!” Nicole agreed and we both laughed as I sat down because Nicole already suggested we put a little makeup on and take some pictures together.

“Speaking of Mason, I noticed something,” she started and I rolled my eyes, “No, don’t roll your eyes, I’m serious.” She added.

“What did you notice, Sherlock?” I asked before bursting into laughter.

“Well, He’s really changed and even nicer to you now, you both haven’t had an outburst since. What’s the secret?” She asked and I laughed as I shrugged and told her that there was no secret.

I sat and allowed Nicole to help me with my makeup since I have only a little idea of how to put makeup on.

“I’ll never understand how you’re friends with me and yet still unable to put your own makeup on.” She hissed as she applied my eye shadow and I laughed.

“Which is why I’m friends with you.” I answered amidst laughter and she gave me a subtle tap on my shoulder.

We took pictures and when we were done, we both decided on the movie we wanted to watch.

“I’ll start setting things up here, you go and get the snacks for us.” I told Nicole and she playfully saluted before leaving which made me laugh.

I picked up the thick blanket and started setting it on the floor. I walked to the bed to pick up two pillows for Nicole and I when I felt someone hold me from behind.

“Holy crap!” I whispered, “you scared the hell out of me, why are you here?” I added again in a whisper.

“I’m here to see you of course,” He whispered back and I asked him to leave at once because Nicole was around and we didn’t want to risk her knowing about us.

Mason pouted and he looked like a little child as he folded his arms on his chest, “you should ask Nicole to leave, not me. I live here.” He said and I laughed slightly.

“I can’t do that, she’s my friend and we’re having a sleepover.” I whispered.

“And that’s why I can’t spend the night with you, because of her,” he said, pouting again, “just tell her to go.” He added and I shook my head.

“It’s just one night, Mason, you can live one night without me now go before she sees you here.” I cautioned and he sighed.

When I realized he wouldn’t leave, I stood on my tiptoe to plant a kiss on his lips. Knowing Mason, the kiss grew and he pulled me closer to him to press my lips on his harder.

“You look so sexy with makeup on.” He pointed out and I blushed as he kissed me again.

Soft and slow, I loved the fact that he could be gentle with me. I watched Mason grow from a man that I detest to someone who I find it hard to sleep without.

Pulling away from him, “Leave quickly now, please.” I pleaded with him and he agreed. I kissed him again and it was slightly shorter than all of our kisses but I just wanted him out of my room so Nicole wouldn’t see.

We turned towards the door so he could leave and both of us froze when we saw who was at the door. I was holding him but I removed my hand from his hold at once.

My jaw dropped and my mouth opened wide when I saw the door wide open and Nicole was standing there too with a bowl of junk in her hand.
