My Stepbrother-Too Hot To Handle

DAMIEN:

Talking with Dabby was fun after we went to our room to change our clothes, and talking about Gina to her wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. She just continued to smile to hide her jealousy, but I could see right through her cute face and just chuckled.

I froze when I read that I had been dropped out of games at the semi-finals, before shock finally coursed through my entire body and settled in my heart. I didn’t feel good about it at all, because it was the first time that I was trying something in a while and got disappointed.

I wanted to go to my room and be by myself till I felt better the way I usually did, but Dabby seemed to have noticed what was going on with me and demanded to know. It had never been my place to tell anyone about how I was feeling before, so I just dismissed her idea to share and went upstairs.

It was unexpected for me to see her enter my room again to placate me, and I did see it as a disturbance even if she was trying to help. My fear of abandonment and

I ended up yelling at her that I didn’t need her help, and it ended up quite emotional because I think she cried when I did that. I felt bad that I acted like that to someone who cared about me after she left, and began to think of ways to fix it quickly because I didn’t want to be on bad terms with her.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

‘Only one day was hard enough.’

Making up my mind to make up with her regardless of how shitty I was feeling, I stood up from my bed and made my way to her room. She was quite surprised when she saw me enter her room, and sat up after I took my seat on her bed.

The reconciliation was faster than I expected it to be, and it touched my heart to know that she still cared to know if I was fine, even after I had yelled at her. If it were the other girls I have dated in the past, they would have thrown tantrums and made the situation even worse than it was.

I hugged Dabby so tightly instead of answering her, because I needed that reassurance that she was there to listen to my problems. Talking to her about it made me feel more at ease, because her words of encouragement stuck in my heart even if I didn’t used to like them.

We ended up cuddling after she hugged me again, and I loved every bit of it. It made me feel more enamored by her, and everything with her was so uncomfortable and effortless, without feeling like I was letting myself out to vulnerability.

She teased me in her cute way about being a romanticist, and I climbed over her in a switch telling her that I could do this even way more than a cuddle. I thought she would cower and shy away or scream that I should leave, but she took the lead and kissed me which did funny things to my body.

‘She had become so unpredictable.’

When she flinched that her mother was coming up to her room, she ran to the door to stop her mother from entering immediately and I jumped out of the window immediately.

Our windows were quite a distance from the ground level, but it was built in such a way that they had a comfortable landing terrace. I took the back door from the poolside through the kitchen, and walked out just in time to catch Dabby and her Mum standing outside.

She was so shocked to see me come out of the kitchen when she probably thought that I was still in her room, and I sneaked a wink at her as I walked up the stairs, after I and Joanna had a brief chat about my supposed state of health. I chuckled at the thought of it till the very moment I entered my room.

I and Dabby couldn’t see one another till the end of the day, and we ended up chatting the entire night on our phones about random stuff. It was surprising, but I didn’t know I could chat with someone for so long, without getting tired or ghosting the person’s chat for eternity.

The next day felt so exhilarating to wake up to, and I was so energetic towards dressing up and getting prepared for the day. Dabby texted to tell me that she was in the kitchen making breakfast, and I joined her a few minutes later already dressed for school.

“Oh my goodness. Damien. You look delicious to the sight,” Dabby said the moment I was about to drink water from a glass cup, and I choked on the water I was drinking in an attempt to laugh. My eyes widened in surprise to hear Dabby say something like that.

‘That wasn’t the innocent girl I knew months ago.’
