Chapter 67

Angela

A few days passed, and I did my best to avoid Ben. Now that I knew our parents were going to get married, it changed things. Majorly. I didn't know if he knew already since Dad had said Ben met with Dad and his mom before. Did Ben know? Did Dad mention he had a daughter who happened to be a professor at his school?

I wasn't sure he did, and that just made it worse, because I didn't want to be the one to tell him that we were going to be stepbrother and sister soon.

Avoiding him wasn't all that easy. Especially on the days, I had a class with him. I arrived early for class and left as soon as I was done with the lecture, then went and hid in the faculty lounge. I was too afraid to even spend time in my office, in case he went looking for me there. I was lost, and I didn't know what to say to him. How do you tell your lover that you're about to be step-siblings? It made my eyes roll and made me shiver just to think about it.
