Climb on My Stepfather (Ashley and Alex) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 16

Amy has always been the worrying type. Constantly looking out for us. It’s one of the things that I love most about her. But I don’t think that I could handle whatever negative thoughts she has about Luke.

She doesn’t know him as well as I do.

“Wow,” Claire exclaims, her eyes blinking rapidly for a moment. “Luke is kind of hot, so I don’t blame you,” she chuckles.

Amy shoots her a disapproving glare. “What if Jason finds out?”

Claire shrugs her shoulders and runs a hand through her blonde locks. “He’s a piece of cheating shit. So what? He clearly didn’t really care about Abby. Why should she care about his feelings?”

She pauses for a second before continuing. “Besides he and Abby never had sex, not even oral, so it shouldn't matter.”

Amy's chestnut eyes are still wide in disbelief. Though she won’t admit it right now, she knows that Claire is right. Jason didn’t care about me at all. He clearly barely gave me a second thought.

“I don’t care what Jason would think,” I say firmly. “And, honestly, I don't care what anyone thinks. Luke and I have a connection, and it’s real.” I look toward

Amy, “I know it might seem weird or wrong, but I feel something for him that words can't describe.”

Amy scoffs. “How can you be so sure that he’s not like so many other rich pervs? Just wanting some young, hot pussy until he gets bored and moves on to the next one.”

Warm tears begin to pool in my eyes, but I quickly blink them away. I’ve known Amy long enough to know that she means well. But still, the thought that she may have a point, that Luke is just using me for a cheap thrill, almost breaks my heart.

Her voice softens as she realizes the sudden sadness washing over me. “I’m just looking out for you Abby. I don’t want you to get hurt again after what Jason did.”

“I don’t think Luke is like that, Amy,” Claire says with a wave of her hand. “Did you see the way he was looking at her when she was walking away? Even from the window, I could see his face lighting up.”
