Chapter 6 - Alexandra

| February 18th | Saturday |

I'm currently on my way to Caitlyn's place, since we're going to cook and bake for Gina's birthday next week and I'm so nervous! Not because of her but because of her family. They're like- super rich and seem kind of judgy. And I'm arriving in full on biker gear, oh god!

So after parking my bike at the street, in front of the house I make my way over to the front door. I take off my helmet and put it under my left arm before ringing the door bell. A fancy sound starts to ring and I really have to hold back a laugh. A few moments later the door opens and I'm face to face with a gorgeous woman, who seems to be in her mid twenties. "Oh hi, you must be Alexandra, right?" She says cheerfully and I just nod awkwardly in response. "I'm Amanda, Caitlyn's older sister. Please, come in." She tells me before stepping aside. I give her a small smile and then enter the big house.

Just as I take off my shoes I hear footsteps coming downstairs. "You're here, hey." Caitlyn greets me with a soft smile, somehow instantly making me smile as well. I stand back up. "Hey." Silence falls over us and Amanda glances between us too. "Uh..we should start." Caitlyn says quickly and then walks over into the kitchen. I glance at Amanda but she just shrugs before waking into the kitchen as well. So I follow them both.

"So..with what are we starting?" I ask curiously as Caitlyn hands me an apron. I put it on immediately. This is kind of giving me flashbacks from when I helped her with pottery..
"Well..we should start with the cake, since the dough needs to cool for a few hours." She answers and I nod at that.

We've been baking for around an hour and it's really fun. Amanda is actually really funny and super cool. I'm surprised that Caitlyn is so shy and quiet when her sister is the complete opposite. But Caitlyn always seems very extroverted and loud when she's with her friends but she's so different around me..

"So..Alexandra, are you seeing anyone?" Amanda's question caught me off guard. But to my surprise Caitlyn chokes on her soda at that. So I quickly go over to her and pat her back. She mutters an awkward thanks, her cheeks super red now. "Uh..no, I'm not. Why're you asking?" I answer while crossing my arms, raising my eyebrow curiously. "Well.." Amanda walks around the kitchen isle and over to Caitlyn. "My baby sister has been single forever! Any chance you wanna go out with her?" Amanda almost begs, which makes me laugh and Caitlyn's face turn even redder. "Oh my god, shut up!" She groans embarrassedly, trying to get out of her sister's grip but she fails.

"So what do you say?" Amanda asks me with a smirk, her arm still around Caitlyn's shoulder. I glance to Caitlyn, who has her arms crossed and her face is super red. "Well..I don't really know her enough to answer that question." I reply with a shrug and an amused smirk. Amanda rolls her eyes at that and then lets Caitlyn go. "But do you think she's hot?" Amanda then asks while walking around the kitchen isle again, so she's in front of us. I snort at that. "Oh yeah." I answer with a smirk and then glance over my shoulder to Caitlyn, who's now turning red again. I wink at her at that and she quickly looks away. She's so shy, it's almost cute.

Amanda laughs at her sister's embarrassed face, on which Caitlyn throws an empty cardboard box at her head. "Hey!" Amanda exclaims and then fake glares at her sister. "Okay, I need a break! See you two later." She adds before leaving somewhere. "I'm really sorry about my sister." Caitlyn says embarrassed as she moves to continue with the cake. "What, why? I think she's really funny." I reply, moving to stay next to her. We're so close that our shoulders are touching. Why is there so much tension between us?

"You sure? Most of my friends are a little caught off guard by her openness." Caitlyn asks worriedly but I reassure her instantly. "Yeah, I'm sure. She's great." I answer with a small smile. "Okay.." she mumbles while putting some foil over the dough and then putting it into the fridge. "Okay, this needs to cool for at least an hour. So..do you wanna go do my room and maybe watch a movie until it's done?" Caitlyn suggests shyly and I smile at that. God, why is she so adorable? But hey, don't get a crush! She's way out of your league and you don't know anything about her! Well..she told me about the stuff she likes to do and a little about her family and friends. Are we..kind of on the way to becoming friends?

"Sure." So we make our way upstairs and into her room. As soon as I step inside my jaw drops. Her room is at least twice as big as mine and it looks so pretty! Everywhere are plants and books and cute decor. And her bed is huge! "You can close your mouth now." Caitlyn teases me before sitting down on her bed. I snort at her sudden confidence and then go to sit down next to her. "So..what do you wanna watch?" I ask while leaning back on my hands. She turns her head to look at me. But then she stares me up and down while biting her lip. Okay, that was so hot..

"I thought about 10 things I hate about you." Caitlyn suggests and I grin at that. "I like that idea." So we both go to sit down in the bed so we can watch the movie, our backs leaned against the bed frame.

The movie has been going for about half an hour and god, I love that move. But somehow I can barely concentrate on the movie because Caitlyn is sitting so close. And we're both under her duvet, it's up to our stomaches. A part of me just wants to grab her and kiss her. But I won't do that, I just can't.

"Ugh, Cat is so hot!" Caitlyn suddenly whines, which makes me chuckle. "I know, right!" I groan but just get a weird look from her. "What?" I ask confused, frowning at her. "So you're into blonds?" She asks me but I just shrug. I'm a little surprised by her question. "I don't really care about stuff like that." I answer and she just hums in response, sucking in her bottom lip as she stares at me. But then a big grin appears on my lips. "But why do you wanna know? Making sure I was telling the truth when I said that I think you're hot?" I ask with a teasing smirk, leaning my face a little closer to hers. Her cheeks turn super red at that. "Shut up!" Caitlyn hits my arm embarrassedly but I just grab her arm to stop her. "I know deep down you're secretly into me. You could just admit it!" I groan while putting her hand down on her thigh, with mine on top of hers to stop her from hitting me.

"C'mon, I don't bite." I tell her in almost a seductive voice, which makes her face turn again red. But she doesn't look away from me once. Then she rolls her eyes. "Fine, I think you're hot. Happy?" Caitlyn sighs, making me smile. "Yeah."
