My Irish Love Affair

He's hot

Alyssa's POV

I flung myself on my bed. 'Darling, pass me a bar.' I asked Lydia, who had a bag of chocolate bars.

She passed me one and started munching her way through another one. 'I eat and eat... And I don't gain a pound. I'm still a skinny bitch.'

I looked at her sideways. 'Did you just slip in a Scary Movie 5 quote there?'

She laughed. 'Yeah. It's true though, I don't.'

Lydia was my flatmate and best friend. We'd known each other for over two years now.

Our views on relationships were very different though. Lydia preferred the single life, whereas I was boy mad. We were now 20 and still single.

'Shall we go to town?' Lyd's suggested.

'Great idea.' I jumped up and put on my leather jacket and black converses.

Lydia looked into my mirror and groaned.

'What's up?' I asked.

'My lips look way too dry.' She complained.

I rummaged into my drawer til I found my 2 in 1, lipgloss and lip balm, in light pink and gave it to her. 'Here.'

'Thanks.' She applied it. That pink looked great against her pale skin.

'That suits you.' I said. 'Keep it. The perfect pink to suggest innocence. Unsurprisingly, it never suited me.'

'Thanks mate.' She put the lipgloss in her shoulder bag and we left the flat.

As we left, a guy was leaving the flat next door to ours.

Funny, I didn't know someone had moved in.

He looked about our age, with styled blonde hair and green eyes. His face was like a Greek gods​ and his​ body said that he clearly worked out.

Fuck.

He noticed us. 'Oh, hi.' He said in a soft Irish accent and smiled, showing straight white teeth.

'Hi, we didn't know anyone had moved in.' Lydia said.

'Yeah, I've just recently moved in. I'm Luke. Luke Nicholson.' He replied.

'Nice to meet you Luke. I'm Lydia, and this is Alyssa, my best friend.' She said.

'Nice to meet you both.' He smiled at me. 'Bye.'

'Bye.' I managed to say before Lydia dragged me away.

As soon as we were out of earshot, Lydia turned to me. 'I know that look in your eye. You fancy him, don't you?'

'Well duh, who wouldn't?' I laughed. 'He's hot. More than hot. He's fit as fuck. And he's Irish! I love Irish guys!'

'Since when?' She gave me a funny look.

'Since now.' I admitted sheepishly. 'But, did you see him Lyd's? He is one sex god!'

She laughed. 'Stop stealing my phrases!'

'Sorry, can't help it.' I laughed. 'Let's go shopping bitch.'
