chapter three

''Corey, dude.'' Aidan tapped Corey's shoulder ; trying to gain his attention. ''Yeah?'' Corey forgot about the conversation going on between him and his friends. ''Have you hooked up with Lala yet?'' Aidan nudged him , eager to get an answer. All eyes were on Corey , smirks on all of the guys faces.

''Why do you want to know?'' Corey didn't like to share details of his relationship. He would never have wished to break Lala's trust, he respected her. ''C'mon. You've been with her for 5 months. Surely you've had sex?'' Ben, a fellow jock and friend of theirs insulted. ''It shouldn't matter whether we've slept together or not. What happens between my girlfriend and I stays between us, dude.'' Corey stood up, brushing himself off and leaning against the wall.

''Well, unlike Haim here, I am more than happy to give details about what happened between Brooke and I last night.'' Aidan stated. All eyes were on him as he described the sexual activity he had engaged in with his girlfriend. ''She could barely walk afterwards.'' Aidan boasted. All of the guys gave him multiple high fives and bro hugs. All of them, apart from Corey.

Corey was happy for his friend, but didn't think that boasting about it was the correct thing to do. Corey was always told by his parents that having sex should be with someone who you love and care about. He had sex with Lala, a couple of times. But, for him, it didn't feel right. He liked her, that was for sure. She was beautiful with a jaw-dropping figure. Any guy would die to have her. But, something about making love to her wasn't right for Corey.

He didn't believe that Aidan cared for Brooke. Aidan talks about her like she is a sexual object , and Corey despised that. Corey was more appreciative and respectful towards the opposite sex , unlike his egotistical friend.

''You know Aidan, your sister is pretty hot. And you know what they say. The innocent ones... Are always freaky.'' Ben said truthfully. Corey quickly turned towards Ben ; clenching his jaw. ''Shut the fuck up. That's my sister.'' Aidan cringed. Corey began to relax when the topic of conversation changed. He felt uneasy when he heard his friend talk about Natalya. He couldn't make it obvious , but a feeling of jealousy rushed through him.

Corey wanted to start spending more time with Natalya. He wanted to sit there for hours with her, enjoying her company. Corey had sometimes wished that he was with Natalya. That she would be laying down beside him. He would run his hand gently through her hair and they would talk about things that were meaningless. Simply enjoying each other's presence.

Sure, Corey had thoughts about Natalya that were more explicit than that, but he would never share the details with anyone , especially not her. The main problem was, Corey knew it was wrong. He had a girlfriend, he shouldn't be thinking about another girl. No way should he be thinking of kissing another girl, laughing with her, making love to her. Corey knew how terrible it was, but he couldn't help it.

''Do you want to come to my place, my mom is cooking pizza.'' Aidan proposed to Corey as they walked over to his car. ''Sure, thanks.'' Corey was originally going to turn down the offer, but then he realised. He'd be able to see Natalya without it looking suspicious. Just being around her made Corey happy.

The two boys got into the car and began driving to the house.

Natalya was currently towel drying her hair. She washed her face and decided to apply a face mask. She wanted to feel refreshed. Natalya went into her wardrobe and got a pair of pyjama shorts and a vest out. The vest was rather low cut ; showing the very top part of her cleavage. But, nobody was going to be seeing her apart from her family so she didn't mind. ''I wish my boobs were bigger.'' She whispered to herself as she scanned herself in the mirror.

Natalya had quite a petite frame. She didn't have a completely flat stomach, but she wasn't overweight. She didn't really care about her size, she did dance, so at least she was exercising.

''Dinner is ready.'' Natalya heard her mother shout. She still had her face mask on as she planned to wash it off after dinner. ''Where's Aidan?'' She raised an eyebrow at her mother as Aidan was always home for dinner. ''On his way home from practice. Dad won't be home as he's working late tonight.'' Natalya nodded in response and began to dig into her pizza and salad. She always loved her mothers cooking.

As Natalya was eating her second slice of pizza , she heard Aidan walk through the front door. But, she also heard another voice which confused her. ''Come on, Corey. I'm hungry dude.'' Natalya's eyes widened once she heard the name. ''Shit.'' She mumbled to herself.

Natalya realised she was wearing extremely small shorts with a revealing tank top. Most importantly, she had damp hair and a face mask on. It was just her luck.

Corey entered the kitchen along with Aidan and sat across from Natalya. His eyes widened once he looked at her chest. He shifted awkwardly and started eating. Awkward stares were exchanged between the two ; until Aidan broke the silence.

''You look like a deer in headlights, Nattie.'' Aidan raised an eyebrow. Natalya snapped out of her trance and smiled. ''No, I'm just enjoying this fine meal cooked by our wonderful mother.'' She giggled and looked towards Corey. ''This is really good, Mrs Jones.'' Corey complimented. ''Thank you.''

Once the meal was finished, Natalya thanked her mother and stood up, brushing a few crumbs off of her exposed thighs. ''Bye, Corey. It was nice seeing you, stranger'' she joked. ''Nice seeing you too, stranger.'' He shook his head playfully. Natalya began to walk away and Corey's eyes flickered to her butt. He couldn't help but stare as she swayed her hips from side to side.

He cleared his throat and turned around , facing Aidan again. ''Were you just staring at my sister?'' Aidan cringed ; curiosity lacing his tone. ''N-no. She's my friend, dude'' Corey covered it up. ''Jeez. I remember when us three were bestfriends. Back in the day.'' Aidan stood up, clearing his plate. ''Yep. Those were the days.''

Corey thanked Aidan and Natalya's mom for the lovely meal and walked home. He couldn't get Natalya out of his head.

Natalya laid in her bed , flicking through her note book. She had just remembered that she needed to get her stuff ready for tomorrow. Her and the rest of the group were going to the beach , and she was excited. Natalya got her bikini out of her wardrobe and put it on her bed side table so she wouldn't forget it.

She laid back ; burying her head into the pillows and drifting off into a deep sleep.
