More Than Friends

Meeting Chris

I've been standing in front of my mirror for twenty minutes now in a bikini. Scott said we would also swim in his pool and I'm nervous. I have a nice body... or at least i think I do. I don't have a model's body but I have curves and a nice ass. But I'm a little bit unconfident about it, I hate the fact that women grow up with Beauty standards, we are all beautiful just the way we are. But still, I'm really nervous, specially now that I know I will meet Chris. I know we can only be friend and he wouldn't want to date me but a part of me wants to be with him, and I want him to like me.... I'm wearing a red bikini, this one:

It makes my boobs pop. "
"Oh my god, this is way to boobie I need to change."
Someone knocks at the door. Fuck! it can't be Scott! Not yet! It's 1pm, Scott said he would pick me up at one. Shit! Why are you so punctual? I put my robe on and go to the door to see through the peephole. Shit it is him! I open the door.
"Hey Scott."
He looks at my robe and arches an eyebrow.
"Are you seriously not ready yet?"
I let out a sight as he walks in and I closes the door.
"Technically, I'm ready..."
"But?" I look at the ground.
" I've been trying to decide on a swimsuit and I can't... I don't... I don't like how I look..."
I look at Scott and he looks a little mad.
"Seriously? Bell, your gorgeous! Okay, let me see." I wrap my arms around my stomach not wanting to show him " Bell, I'm your friend... and I'm gay. So let me see"
He says in a childish voice and I laugh. I open my robe up and his eyes widen.
"Demn girl, you're hot!" I laugh.
"Scott, its too boobie. I need to change."
I start heading to my room when he stops me.
"Girl, its not boobie enough! If I was straight I would be all up in those puppies." He says pointing at my boobs, I laugh.
"Scott, I'm serious."
"So am I, really Bell, you look amazing and I love your tattoos."
I have some tattoos, I have an arabica sentence in my side rib cage that reads "fight for what you love, no matter what." it's something my dad used to say a lot, I also have a lotus flower right above that and a small ocean wave on my groin.
"The only thing you have to worry about is my brother not taking his eyes off of you. Now put some shorts and a tank top on and lets goooo!"
I blush a little while Scott takes me to my room to put something on. I wish I could make Chris look at me as he says, but he won't. I put my shorts on and a red tank top.
"And you have an ass! Girl I'm loving this!"
I laugh and I grab my bag with clothes so I can change and we go to Scott's house. It's so beautiful and big, we walk through the front door and I can smell the stakes cooking outside. My heart is pounding really fast. I'm going to meet Chris!
"I love your house, it's beautiful!"
Scott laugh a little.
"I'm glad you like it Bell. Make yourself at home. I'll be down in one minute. I have to change"
I smile widely and nod. Scott leave the room. Suddenly a beautiful dog comes in wagging his tail. It's Dodger.
"Oh my god! Hello handsome." I say in a cheeky voice dropping to my knees to pet him. "You are so cute! Who's a good boy?" Dodger barks and licks my face. "Yes! You're the good boy!" Dodger starts to get over exited and I love it.
"That's Dodger." I jump a little and look up. Holy shit! It's Chris! I get up. Okay Bell keep it cool. God! He's so much more handsome in person. My heart is beating super fast.
"He's very cute... and such a good boy." He smiles widely.
"That he is... you must be Bell, Scott talks a lot about you. I'm Chris."
I shake is hand and my heart skips a beat. I smile.
"Nice to finally meet you Chris. Scott... also talks a lot about you."
He arches an eyebrow. Wow, that shouldn't be hot...
"Good things I hope..."
I let out a small laugh.
"Only good things... I promise..."
"Good."
He says with a wink and my heart races, we both smile and I realize we are still holding on to each other's hands and I blush uncontrollably. Scott comes in and we don't notice him until he speaks.
"I see you two have met each other." We let go of our hands and we look at Scott.
"Yeah man, you missed the introduction."
Chris says making Scott laugh. Holy hell he really is handsome. And he has such a kind smile and gorgeous eyes.

Chris

I'm in my room with Dodger getting changed while the stakes are cooking at a low temperature. I'm really nervous to meet this girl. She really sound amazing, I hope she likes me. I hear some In the hallway so I open the door a little and see Scott.
"Hey! You're back. Where is Bell?"
Did she bail?
"She's in the kitchen, I just need to change to my swimsuit. I'll be down in a second."
He goes inside his room. Okay Chris, it's time. I open the door all the way letting Dodger out and he sprints to the kitchen. I go downstairs and hear her.
"Oh my god! Hello handsome." She's talking o Dodger In a very cute voice, it melts my heart. I enter the kitchen and she doesn't see me. She's down on her knees petting him. "You are so cute! Who's a good boy?" Dodger barks and licks her face. I can't see her face. Her black curls are covering her. "Yes! You're the good boy!" I love how good she is with him. I need to see her face.
"That's Dodger."
She jump a little looking up at me.
Wow, she's beautiful.
She get up and smiles at me. She's so damn beautiful, she has gorgeous brown eyes and such an amazing smile. She's also a little bit short, 5.2 maybe. My heart starts pounding in my chest and my moth goes dry. I've never had this reaction to anyone.
"He's very cute... and such a good boy."
And she has such a sweet voice. I smile.
"That he is... you must be Bell, Scott talks a lot about you. I'm Chris."
I kinda want to hug her, but I shake her hand instead.
"Nice to finally meet you Chris. Scott... also talks a lot about you."
"Good things I hope..."
I say and she laughs a little. Such a nice laugh. I could hear it all day long
"Only good things... I promise..."
"Good..."
I wink at her, we are still hanging on to each other's hands. I don't want to let go, and I think she doesn't either. We're closer now and I can see her blushed cheeks. She looks so beautiful.
What's going on with me?
Scott comes in and talks to us, making us let go from each other.
"I see you two have met each other."
"Yeah man, you missed the introduction."
Scott laugh. And Bell is smiling.
"I always miss the good stuff. Are the stakes ready?"
"Not yet but almost. Why don't we go outside so I don't burn them." They laugh and we go outside. "So, Bell. How do you like your meat?"
She smiles. That smile is addictive. I'm already thinking of how I can make her smile again.
Jesus, get a grip Evans. You just met her.
"Medium will be perfect! Thank you."
"Very good choice."
I say and she blushes. I diced that's my favorite look on her.
"It's a very nice day today, thank you so much for the invitation... both of you."
Scott and I look at each other and smile, then I look at Bell.
"You are absolutely welcome."
I wink at her and she smiles widely looking down trying to hide her blush. Yep, I love that look.
Dodger comes running with his toy in his mouth.
"Oh god, your just adorable."
She's completely in love with Dodger and I can't help but smile.
"You want to play sweet boy?" Dodger starts to wagg his tail. Bell takes the toy from his mouth. "Let's go play!" She looks at us with a big smile. "I'll be right back"
She runs with Dodger and she plays with him. It's absolutely adorable how much they are having fun.
"So... what's your first impression of Bell?"
Scott had a huge grin on his face and I laugh while preparing the stakes.
"She's... she's very nice..."
I blush a little and I don't look at Scott.
"You're a lousy liar, do you know that?" I start laughing
"Fine... she's very beautiful." He arches an eyebrow.
"Really? You think she's beautiful?"
I look at him.
"Yes! Don't you?"
I say giving him a confused look.
"Of course! She's absolutely beautiful. But it's diferente when you say it."
I know what he means. I think all women are beautiful but I never say someone is beautiful out loud. For Scott, me saying that means I like the girl... as more than a friend. I laugh.
"Don't star with me Scott."
I say lifting my eyebrows at him and he laughs.
"All right man you win."
He says and goes with Bell to play with Dodger. It's weird that even after I called Bell beautiful he didn't try to make me ask her out. What game is he playing?
