Forbidden Fire

Chapter 1

~Autumn's POV~

"Charlie can you stop being an asshat and give me the remote?" I huffed my eyes focused on my brother. This asshat decided to take the remote away from me as I was watching my favorite TV Show.

"Sorry sis but no can do Atlas is coming over and we aren't about to watch your stupid cooking show" Charlie rebutted as he changed the channel.

"I swear if you don't change it back-" I was cut off by the front door opening

"Hello beautiful people" Atlas said while walking to the living room "what did I miss?" He asked as he saw me and Charlie standing opposite of each other.

"This asshat that you call your bestie isnt allowing me to watch TV, so why don't you and him go up to his room instead." I roll my eyes, I loved cooking well baking. My mom told me that when I was younger I begged her for a fake kitchen set and I would always play with it. I mean that is until Charlie broke it while play fighting with Atlas.

Atlas...

God that stupid idiot...his brown hair and beautiful green eyes. He was two years older than me and was my older brother's best friend. His perfect smile and his little head tilt when he's laughing is so addicting to watch. HE is addicting to watch.

I snap out of it as Atlas took the remote from Charlie and reached out to give it back to me. My hand slowly reach out a little tremble in them as I grab it from him. Our fingers grazing softly as I bring the remote to me.

"Thank you Atlas.." I softly thanked him and looked at Charlie. "You should learn from him" I spat and changed the channel back to my show.

"Bro why would you give her the remote" Charlie exasperated, hitting Atlas with the back of his hand on his chest

"Because we aren't watching TV" Atlas said back, he glanced at me and gave me a small smile as he put his arm around my brother neck whispering something to him.

"No fucking way. You serious?" Charlie exclaimed as he looked at Atlas with astonishment.

"For real bro I got the guy waiting at his house" Atlas said with a slight smirk. My ears perked up and I looked at the two who were starting to walk up the stairs to, most likely, Charlie's room.

What were they up to?

My focus went back to the TV as I watched a professional baker roll out some foundant. Her hands delicately placed the foundant on top of the cake and smoothed it out with her hands. I paused the TV as I went to get my baking notebook from my room.

When I passed Charlie's room I heard....nothing. Knowing my brother, silence is never good. I walked up to his door and knocked. "Charlie?"

"Yeah!" He yelled back.

"What are you up to?" I asked putting my ear to the door.

Charlie didn't answer though, instead Atlas opened the door causing me to fall into his chest.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" I apologized profusely as my face grew red with embarrassment.

"Autumn if you wanted to get close to me just say so" Atlas teased with a smirk on his face.

"I- I-" My face fully flushed as I stuttered. Looking away from Atlas.

"Breathe princess, you can do it" Atlas whispered into my ear. Fixing a strand of my hair and placing it behind my ear.

I felt my stomach fill with butterflies as I felt his hot breath on my ear. I started breathing heavier, looking at everything but Atlas. "Um I'll just I'm gonna go" I said quickly and ran down the stairs.
