I stand in the doorway with bags in hand and drop them to my feet.

My older brother Bryn walks in after me and helps move my stuff over to the lounge, and puts my pillow on the sofa.

"I'm sleeping on a sofa? You don't have a spare room or something?" I ask, concerned for the health of my back if I have to sleep on this sofa for a month or two.

"No spare rooms sorry, unless you want to share with me and sleep on the floor. But I didn't think you'd like that very much so sofa it is." He replies, clearly fed up.

"Okay, thanks" I give him a subtle smile and start tidying my things and putting a bed together with my pillow and blankets.

"Lukas will be here soon, he finishes work at 4 so if someone just walks in, that'll be him. Food is in the fridge if you want anything, and the downstairs bathroom is all yours. Now i have to go to work because I'm already an hour late but um, yeah, I'll see you later when I get back about 7" he walks out the door and drives off.

"Right..." I start to look around to see what I could do for the next hour before Lukas gets home. TV.

I sit down onto the sofa and turn the TV on, selecting Bryn's account and searching for something to watch.

After a little bit of scrolling I find this thing called 'Grey's Anatomy' it looks good and it reminds me of station 19 so I decide to watch it.
           
               
*•°☆°•*

At about half 4 someone walks in, who I suppose Lukas is, dressed in blue scrubs and wearing black Adidas sambas.

I sit for a second, staring at him and his biceps. God, his biceps. But he breaks the silence, "Hey, Bryn's sister, yeah?"

His thick British accent fills the room while he keeps looking at me expectant, awaiting my reply.

"Yeah, hi I'm Lily. You're Lukas?" I ask, receiving a small smile and a nod.

"I am yeah, has Bryn already gone off to work?"

I'm still admiring his looks but snap out of it when I'm asked. "He left about a couple of hours ago"

"Right, cool... so uh I'm gonna go and get dressed. See you in a bit, Lily." He walks upstairs and skips up the last two steps before I hear the closing of a door.

Fucking hell. He's so hot, why is he so hot? Bryn's never had hot friends before so what's suddenly happened.

I take a second to recovery my thoughts and relax, before deciding on something to eat. I'm thinking pasta.

"Pasta, pasta... pasta?" I whisper to myself, looking through the cupboard that Bryn pointed to about soups and pasta.

"God where do they keep the fucking pasta-" I exclaim, before I'm interrupted by Lukas walking into the kitchen.

"Whatcha looking for?" He queries, unaware of how attractive he looks in just red plaid pyjama pants with a grey zip up hoodie on.
He keeps looking at me, waiting for my answer.

"Pasta. I'm looking for pasta." I respond, trying to subtly glance at his abs and check him out.

He answers "Ah, pasta is right- here.." while grabbing it from the shelf above me, and placing it in my hands.
"I can cook it if you want to finish unpacking? Bryn won't be here until late so he'll probably eat when he gets back."

I look at him confused, "but he told me he'd be back about 7?"

He gives me a looks that shows he was joking.

"Well what's he doing out so late on a Thursday?" I ask, concerned.

"Well... there's a club in town, I'm sure you can guess the rest." He winks and carries on cooking the pasta.

I take a seat at the counter, on one of the tall, wooden stools. Very comfortable, more comfortable than the sofa I have to sleep on for the next year or however long it takes to fix my apartment.

 *•°☆°•*

When the pasta's done, Lukas serves it into two bowls and hands me one.

I move from my seat at the counter over to the sofa and sit down, crossing my legs.

Lukas joins me and takes the seat next to me, causing the sofa to dip a bit.

I turn the TV back on and play Greys Anatomy again, Lukas looks at me "did you put this on on purpose?"

I turn to looks at him, "what do you mean?"

"Well I'm a doctor and you've put Greys Anatomy on, is there some sort of link?" He winks and looks at me expectantly.

"Oh no I've been watching this all afternoon" I say, giggling a little bit at him assuming the wrong thing and we carry on watching TV.

 *•°☆°•*

There's a knock at the door and Lukas gets up to open it. Bryn stumbles in and looks at me for a second before bursting into tears and hugs Lukas tightly.

I stand up suddenly and jog over to where they're standing infront of the kitchen, "Bryn, what happened?" I ask, hoping for an answer. But I'm just ignored as he wipes his eyes and runs upstairs to his room.

Lukas looks at me weirdly, like I'd know what's wrong. I sigh and go upstairs after him.

"Hey Bryn" I knock on his bedroom door, "can I come in?"

I hear a quiet "yes" come from inside, so I open the door and step in before closing it behind me.

"Hey, what's up?" I sit on the edge of the bed, and he sits up next to me and sighs.

"Don't tell Lukas, but..."
