Page 31 of My Alpha Stepbrother's Dirty Secret 3

"Shut up!"I groaned‚ laughing into my palms.

"So what happened?I saw you with a guy making out at the club's lot.You guys looked hot together outside a car.I didn't want to disturb you so I left.That guy was hot as hell‚ though.You lucky bitch.So tell me—was it good?"

"Sasha!"I covered my face again.

"Oh my God!It was good!I freaking knew it!"Sasha squealed‚ practically bouncing on the spot."Wait...who is he?Don't tell me it was just some random guy from the club."

"No‚" I said quickly‚ shaking my head before she got the wrong idea.

"So what then?a friend?"

I shaook my head again.

"An old schoolmate?"

Another head shake.

"Ughhh‚ then who is he?!"she whined‚ dragging the word with exaggerated frustration.

I looked down and mumbled‚ "My childhood crush."

"What?!anna!"she gasped‚ grabbing my arm like I'd just told her I kissed a celebrity.

I didn't even know how to explain it‚ or if I even should‚ especially the part where he wasn't just my crush‚ but also my 'supposed' big brother.

"I didn't even expect to see him at the club‚" I muttered‚ half-laughing‚ half-embarrassed.

"Hold on‚ hold on‚" she said‚ sitting up straighter‚ eyes wide."So let me get this right—you ran into your childhood crush at the club‚ and somehow‚ you guys ended up making out...and he's hot?Like hot hot?and you‚ obviously‚ were looking like sin in that dress...and it got ruined‚ which means..."

"Sasha!"I groaned‚ face heating up.

"What?"she laughed‚ grinning."That's literally the plot of every steamy romance book I've ever read.You gave your first time to the guy you've loved since you were little?That's insane in the most romantic way!You should be on cloud nine right now!"

I paused‚ and her smile faded just a bit.

"What?"she asked‚ frowning."What's wrong?"

I hesitated for a second‚ then sighed."This morning‚ while we were having breakfast...his phone buzzed.and it wasn't just any message.It was from a girl named Sophie.and the message had a red heart emoji."

Sasha frowned instantly."What did it say?"

"Hey babe‚ I'm backkkkk!Wanna meet up?"

"Shit..."she whispered.

"Exactly‚" I said‚ rubbing my arm slowly."I asked him who she was‚ and he just brushed it off like it meant nothing‚ said he had something to handle‚ and then he left...just like that.Didn't explain anything.But my head...it's been spinning since."

"Okay‚ girl‚ listen‚" Sasha said‚ sitting forward."Instead of sitting here and torturing yourself with assumptions‚ just ask him.Don't keep quiet about it.You have a mouth.Use it.Communication‚ babe."

"are you sure?"I asked‚ unsure.

"Yes!I'm twenty.I've been in three messy relationships.and the one thing I learned is‚ talk before things get ugly."

I nodded‚ feeling a bit braver."Okay.I'll call him."

She smiled."atta girl."

I hugged her quickly and left her dorm.as soon as I stepped out‚ I dialed Ryan's number.He didn't pick up.I tried again.Nothing.I frowned and decided to take a taxi to the company.Maybe he was there.
