"Hello dear you must be Emily, I'm your mums friend, please, call me Lynn, oh and this is my husband Phil and our children Andrew and beatrice said the woman,
I shook her and her husbands hands as my mum joined me In the door way, I still couldn't believe it, Andrew looked as shocked as I did, he was staring at me with so much intensity I suddenly felt very exposed. I guess I was showing a bit of cleavage and thigh, but was this not the dress my mum had picked out?
We sat down for dinner and everytime I looked up at Andrew he would be looking at me and then quickly look away, it was kind of creepy, but made me feel good at The same time. When he was looking away I snuck a glance at him, he was wearing a suit and looked absolutely amazing I really wanted to tell him that but felt too shy."So Emily, do you have a boyfriend?"
Lynn asked me and Andrew immediately looked up, interested in what I was about to say,
"No actually, I've never really been in a real relationship unless you count forth grade disco"
Everyone laughed, Andrew smiled and looked down at his food,But that was a complete lie,
I was in a relationship a couple of months ago with a guy called Ryan, he was really kind and treated me to anything I wanted. But a few weeks into the relationship we were making out on his sofa and he tried to take my shirt of, I knew I wasn't ready for that and told him I wanted to take it slow. Then I saw a darker side of him, he tried to touch me and I push him off me. In an effort to rip my shirt off he scratched really hard into the back of my arms and neck. After that I got up and ran out of the house leaving my bag. I still have the scars from that day. Two of my guy friends went back to get my bag and coat, I haven't been back since.
I never told my mum or dad about it because I didn't want them to worry."Wow, a girl as pretty as you, never had a relationship, boys these days must be blind"
Lynn commented more to my mum than me"Yes your boy is very. Handsome too has he got a lucky girl in his life?"
My mum spoke this time
"I pretended not to be to interested in what he had to say but I was actually dying to know the answer,"No, I uh just broke up with my girlfriend last week actually,"
A wave a relief and curiosity blew over me.After dinner The adults gathered in the kitchen and Beatrice sat down with my younger brother spencer in the lounge, which left ... Me and Andrew... Oh.
"Em, you look absolutely gorgeous" Andrew said suddenly after the room emptied
I blushed awkwardly and looked at my outfit
"Thanks andr...Garfy" I smiled
"You're really beautiful em""Haha no I'm n.."
"I can't believe you've never had a boyfriend"
I just blushed and looked down.
" you know you don't look so bad yourself"
I said with a flirtatious hint to my voice.
"Would you like a tour?""Hell yeah he replied in a terrible American accent we both laughed and he followed me upstairs, i opened my bedroom door and immediately remembered that my room was a tip, as I didn't think anyone would be seeing it. Andrew walking in and did a 360degree turn
"So this is your room?"
"Yes this is my room"
"Books, shoes, bras?"
"Yeah... Wait WHAT?"
I scanned the room for dirty underwear and my eyes landed on a blue lacy bra on my washing basket, shit, fuck, I feel so embarrassed. I quickly lift the lid and push it in but it's too late he bent over double laughing.
I showed him the rest of the house and then we went downstairs. And it was time for him to leave."Bye Garfy" I whispered as we hugged goodbye,
"Bye Em, see you tomorrow then"
he bit his lip which drew my attention to it then I looked back at his eyes, that were so full of desire, his lips lightly touched mine and it reminded me of my first kiss with Ryan,
Then I pulled away.
I immediately regretted it."I'm so sorry" I said apologetically
"Em, wait it's okay,"
He callIed
But I turned and ran upstairs, got undressed and slipped into bed to close my eyes, I guess he left after that.
