DISCLAIMER: if you are reading this, that means I have edited the chapter before this one so it won't make as much sense, so you can either read it and be confused or pretend this chapter and the ones after it don't exist until I am done editing- ANDREAAAA

I woke up in Alex's bed that morning and nearly had a heart attack when I checked the time. 8:06 am.

Alex had his arms protectively around my waist and I could hardly move. I didn't want to wake him up. Will this change anything? Don't be silly, he probably thinks of you as a sister, but a brother wouldn't say the things he said to me yesterday. I blushed.

I carefully peeled Alex's arm off of me and rolled off the bed. Slowly opening the door, I look behind me, gosh look at those back muscles- oh stop it. Why does he make me feel the way he does.

Maybe we have a connection after all. I creep out of his room and into the bathroom. I look like hell. "Morning sunshine" I hear a sleepy voice greet behind me. "Oh morning" I state not looking him in the face as I brush my teeth. I thought he was still asleep.

"Did you enjoy sleeping will me last night" he offers me a wink. My eyes go wide. He made it sound dirty.

"Fuck Lottie, why do you always have to be so hot" he grumbled and walked closer to me, shutting and locking the door. My mouth went dry.

"Wha-" I cleared my throat. "What do you mean?"

"Don't act so innocent. You're a dirty girl" he whispered. Somehow he got closer than he already was.

He was so close I could smell the scent of cologne and lotion on him from last night. He lifts my chin up with his finger.

Can't he wait til I don't have a mouth full of toothpaste?

He wipes the toothpaste that leaked from the corner of my mouth. I shivered. He grins down at me and leaves the room.

He left my knees weak.

Fuck him

You know you want to-

Ew.

He is invading my mind. He's all I could think about while I was trying to read my book. (Not the dirty ones I can never look at those the same)

Wait- the dirty ones. I have the best idea ever.

I hop off my bed and grab the most dirty book I've got. It's not actually mine. It's Betty's but she left it here. Haunting Adeline. Personally I would never read that book. At least not in this house.

I go on tik tok and look up where the steamy pages are and I choose to put my bookmark between pages 344 and 345.

I place the book face up on my bed, in the perfect spot. If he dare look in my room, that book should be the first thing he sees. I know Alex is a curious person. We all are. I exit my room, leaving it wide open. I knocked on Alex's door.

"Yes" he calls from inside. He was out of breath. Maybe he was working out. Most definitely he was. "Where's Josh?" I call from the other side of the door.

"On a date" I freeze. Josh, on a date, at 9 in the morning? No fucking way.

"Your kidding me?" I say. "Nope, who would have thought." He replies. "Definitely not me" I respond.

I need him out of his room. "Is there anything you need princess?"

"I need help reaching something"

That was a lie but I'm sure I can make it work. There was a groan coming from his room, a minute late he opens the door, peering down at me with his deep green eyes.

I love his eyes. "Show me" he says and I walk into my room, and lead him into my closet.

I point to the very top, short enough for him, but too tall for me. He could easily lift his arm up and reach it, with a little straining.

"Can you get that book, it's in the back corner, just put it on my bed. I'll be in the bathroom washing my face."

Got him.

—-Alex—-

Lottie is one strange girl. I don't know the vibe between us, but it's constant flirting and teasing. She had left the room right before I could even get the book.

She could have just waited for me to grab it. I'm not her servant, yet I would do anything for her.

I place the old dust book on her bed, something catches my eye.

That better not be one of those dirty books. I shouldn't invade her privacy. I need to leave.

She's in the bathroom, she won't even know, just leave the bookmark in, put it in the same place.

No, she trusted me to be in here alone in the first place.

She's basically asking you to read it.

I'm right , if it was dirty, she would have hidden it.

"Haunting Adeline" I read the title, it definitely one of those murder books, I mean it has the word haunting in it. Probably about some ghost girl.

I decided to open it to the bookmarked chapter and immediately regretted my decision. The first word I layed my eyes on was "pussy"

Now I have to read this.

I don't think I've ever been so interested in reading a book in my life. I kept flipping the pages, wondering if this is what Lottie wants, pain and pleasure. I could definitely give her that.  Gross! Snap out of it.

It wasn't like Lottie was a gross girl, she was hot, she had an amazing personality and I always seemed to be laughing around her. If she wasn't crying or embarrassed.

I decided I would give her payback. I don't necessarily know what I'm paying her back for, I just love when her cute face turns pink. I grab my phone, and take pictures of the pages before neatly placing the book back in its original position.

I hurry out of her room and plan my amazing plan.

You know something is coming next... I'll definitely release the next one after this.

Will his plan work?
