Choosing Between My Hot Stepbrother Or His Rival My Bestfriend - Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Taylor Anderson
How do I tell him that I already promised Kelly to travel back with him to his family house, if I say that right now he's going to be so mad at me,
“Can you give me three days after the match is over?”
He scrunch his face like he's observing me,
“Three days, why three days?”
“Uhm cause there's something I have to do, it's very important”
“Does it have to do with Kelly?” He asked, his voice was calm, I bite my lower lip contemplating whether to answer that or not
“Will it be mad if I say yes?”
He looked at me for some seconds, just watching me and when I thought he was going to get mad, he smiled
“Fine, just three days and make sure you break up with him with those three days okay?”
“Hmmm” I nodded happily, at least I don't have to break up with him after the match, that's going to be so much of a disaster, now I have a lot of time to break up with him. We ended up laying on the couch and I fell back to sleep again for the second time.
I don't know how many hours have passed but the smell of instant noodle and boiled egg woke me up, the smell was so delicious and I can't help it only for me to open my eyes and the first thing my eyes caught was my picture that was all over the wall, and that's when it clicked in, I'm not in my room, I looked around and I was laying on Liam's bed,
“Wakie, wakie, you're finally awake” Liam was sitting on the sofa with my phone in his hands, I saw the table beside the bed and it had a tray that contained a bowl of hot noodles,
“This noodle?”
“Its for you, I made it just the way you liked it”
“And my phone?”
“Ohh I was just scrolling through your Instagram and I realized they are so many bunch of idiots so I'm blocking them”
I rolled my eyes at him, and pushed the table closer,
“When did you make this it's still very hot”
“Not long ago”
I took the fork and have a bite and gosh it tasted so good even more than the one I usually make for myself,
“Liam?” I suddenly called him as a crazy idea entered my mind,
“Hmmm” He gave me his full attention
“If I finish these hot noodles in three minutes how much will you give me?”
“How much do you want?”
“Hmmm” I paused and thought for a while. I don't need money but I want his money so…
“Hundred dollar”
“I'll take you shopping if you finish that in three minut….”
I didn't wait for him to finish before I immediately grabbed the fork and began eating like someone was about to snatch the food away from me, Liam was looking at me while his eyes was constantly darting on his Patek wristwatch,
“Fuck Taylor, don't choke yourself”
I was taking my last bite when he began his countdown,
“10”
“9”
“8”
“7”
“6”
I drank water and showed him my mouth
“Done” I smile,
“Damn, you shocked the hell out of me, is your mouth some oven or something?”
“You might not know this but back then in high school I use to do this with my friends all the time, we would always bet on something” I said excitedly looking at him and that's when I noticed his mood changed,
“How was your high school life?”
“Fun, very memorable, it was one of the best moments of my life”
“Really?” His mood switched up immediately and I could feel his excitement
“Hmmm” I nodded and pushed the table aside,
“Back then I was popular in my school”
“Wait, what, you?”
“Hmm, I know it's unbelievable cause of how I act now, well you can say that back then it was all roses and green for me, I haven't had my own share of life trials, it was all good and smooth, I was the only child of my two loving parents, they were rich, I had nothing, I was good in school, everyone loves me, and I had nice friends and a boyfriend who adores me”
“Wait” He stopped me immediately
“You used to have a boyfriend?”
“Hmmm” I nodded sincerely
“You two were dating?”
“Hmm, actually we were the typical high school dream couple, he was a genuine person”
“So what happened?”
“He confessed to me first, and asked me out, I'm the type that I do not like letting people down, so I accepted to date him, but I made it clear to him that I do not love him, am that I'm not sure if it's going to happen in the future, but he assured me that he's going to make that happen, he was genuinely good to me, he was nice, but somehow I only liked him as a friend and hoped the day will come when I will finally fall in love with him, but then life happened, I lost my parents and I had to move, I lost my parents, I lost my friends, I lost my identity, and the genuine person that liked me, it was so hard starting all over again in this place after the life I used to have” I muttered the last part, it felt like I went back to the past and revisited the taunting memories that I was fighting to forget.
I was so immense in my story that I didn't even know that Liam was already sitting beside me, until he gently placed my head on his shoulder
“Do you know what pisses me off the most?” He asked
“What?” I raise my head to look at him, he was staring like back at me, but with a glint of regret
“I regret that I'm just finding out about your past, have you told this to any of your friends? Hope I'm not the last to know about it?”
I smile and went back to laying my head on his shoulder,
“Actually you're the second person to know about it”
“Then who's the first person?”
I don't know if that's anger I'm sending in his voice, if not what could it be
“Charles was the first”
“Fuck, that's much more acceptable I thought it's that little boyfriend of yours”
“Liam?”
“Huh?”
“Why do you have my picture all over your room?”
