The "Enemy"

Kid in a Candy store

I woke up the next day to the sun shining in through the windows. I was about to get up when I felt a weight on my lower side. I looked down to see that Jame's arm hasn't moved since the night before. I started to get up again, trying not to wake him when he tighten his grip around me. 

At this point it was useless. I turned around to face him. I searched his face and placed my hand on his cheek. His skin was slightly tanned and ever so soft. I rubbed my thumb back and forth. I placed my hand that was on his cheek to his back and wrapped my arm around him. I moved closer enclosing the space between us. 

We were both embracing each other in a tight hold. I could faintly smell his natural scent and I breathed it in with every breath. He smelled so good. I rested my head in the crook of his neck and fell back asleep.

It felt like years later when there was a sudden burst from the door. I opened my eyes to see Sam in the doorway. He quickly clapped his hand over his eyes and yelled, " Mom! Abby and James are..uh.." He revealed his eyes again to see us. I pushed James away, startling him awake and got up from the bed. "Never mind mom!" Sam finished. He obviously did it scare me and wake me up. I ran up to him and pushed him out of the doorway, shutting the door on him. 

I turned around to see Philips just now sitting up in bed and starting to realize what had happened. When he saw me he started to blush and placed his hand on his neck rubbing it. He looked so shy. I walked back over and sat next to him under the covers again. "S-sorry about umm...that." I looked at him confused. "What? Your brother? No he's fine." I could tell he had softened up a bit. "Okay good. He can be a prick sometimes." I shrugged and got up again. "I don't have anything to wear Philips." I groaned at him. He didn't say anything, but got up and started to look around in his closet. "Here." His husky voice rang out from the closet as he emerged and threw me some clothes. I looked down at a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. 

As he went to take a shower I changed into the clothes and while waiting made the bed. He came out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. I looked him up and down. I analyzed how each water droplet fell from his hair to his fairly toned chest. I gasped at the sight and when I heard his laugh it snapped me back to reality. "Oh, uh. I better be going." I quickly stammered out and walked out of the door. 

I made my way down the stairs when I walked into the kitchen. His whole family was sitting at the table. Katie and Sam who sat next to each other and his dad to the right of Sam, leaving a gab between Katie and their mom for Philips. I waved to them. "Goodbye guys." They turned their heads to me. Even his dad looked up from his newspaper. Before I could turn around to head to the door Katie got up and enclosed her small arms around my waist. "Where are you going!? I thought we were going shopping today." She gave me the sweetest and most adorable pout face I had ever seen. I grabbed under her arms and lifted her up for her legs to envelop around my waist. "How could I forget. I was just headed to change at my house. I can't go out with this on." She jumped down and looked at her brothers sweats. "Yeah your right. Go home, but you better be back before 8." She was now waving her tiny pointer finger in front of me like she was the boss. I submitted and held my right hand up to my head and yelled, "Yes ma'am." I made sure not to be too loud, but she started to giggle and so did I. I tickled her a little making her fall to the ground in laughter.

Philips POV:

I saw how Abby looked at me when I emerged from the bathroom. She was in a trance of some sort. Eyeing me up and down like she was a kid in a candy store. God I could look at her look at me like this forever. She was so beautiful. I let out a small laugh when she gasped at me. She looked up and ran out of the room. Fuck. I had just ruined it. She couldn't get her eyes off of me. I had wanted all her attention, just like that since the time I gave her my soda awhile ago. I rolled my eyes and went back into my closet to get some clothes. I decided to wear a plain white shirt, jeans, and my team's baseball cap. 

I headed downstairs and my heart was filled when I saw that Abby was still here. It almost exploded when I saw how good with kids she was. Her and my little sister were so cute together. I couldn't help but wonder if she would be that great of a mom. Stop James. Either way she would never like you like that. Plus you would be an awful father, unlike Benny. She's probably in love with him. 

I watched the scene pan out in front of me with Abby and Katie. Soon Abby saluted Katie and waved goodbye to everyone else and went out the door. She didn't even notice I was there. That although didn't bother me. She would of saw how mesmerized I looked and would most likely make fun of me forever. Or worse never talk to me again. She probably didn't want to anyway with the whole situation of me holding on to her in bed and seeing me half naked. God I ruin everything. 

"Morning everyone." I was now completely over with the day.
