My brother's bestfriend

And here's to a new requested one!!! I've been having major writer's block after having 4 jobs and uni to deal with. :D but! life's good. It goes on. This has been a theme I've wanted to write for a while now! and when it came in a request today I knew I had to do it! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS ONE KITTENS! I just know, you won't regret it!!

My eyes widened at the familiar laughs across the hall in my twin's room. I hadn't realize it was already that time of the day! I sat up as fast as I could from my bed, and made sure to smooth out my tank top and shorts. I glanced with disapproval at my long hazel hair frizzed out in ten different directions.

"Ugh. Why do I look like my face expired?!" I muttered angrily to myself, as I smoothed everything out with a brush. Finally satisfied with my looks, I pranced towards the kitchen to make two lemonades. I grinned at the drinks on the tray as I walked towards Keith's room.

With the tray balanced in one palm, I rapped twice on the door as politely as I could. I could heard Keith's muffled voice saying something like: "My sis is at the door and I can't lose now."

There was a shuffle on the other side and I bit my bottom lip in anticipation. My lower stomach lurched and I inhaled heavily when it swung open.

"Hello Amelia." A deep voice said and I had to bite lip harder. The door revealed sexy blue eyes with a tint of coolness within them and dark handsome features of my crush, Alexander. The boy towered over me by a head and I had to tilt my head up just to meet his eyes. They twinkled fondly at me and he lifted a muscled arm to prop himself against the door, making my body do silly things like, forget how to breathe.

Gawd. I thought to myself, swooning internally. How can anyone always look this good??

"I made you guys some lemonade." I grinned, hoping it didn't look as goofy as it felt. His sexy eyes slowly trailed down to the simple tray and lemonade I held up between us.

"Sweet." The words rolling off his tongue, fresh and wet. I quietly groaned inside at the sound of his voice before reminding myself to keep my cool. He moved to grab them off me and our fingers brushed, letting tiny waves of electricity run through my nerves.

I shivered with delight.

"Your sister made us drinks." Alex announced as he moved back into Keith's room. It was small with a bed and his massive television taking up the rest of the space. The Xbox sat in between both the boys and I leaned into the room a little, debating if I should join them.

"She's only this nice when you're around man." Keith's little comment made the decision for me as I scowled in embarrassment. My heart quickened and I could feel the colour rise to my face.

"I do not!" I denied quickly, flushing furiously at my twin's ignorant comment. The boy in front of the tele didn't even bother glancing at me and I sighed. "I'm off to do some laundry."

I stormed off, letting the red drain from my face as I headed towards the washing machine to collect the white mattresses and towels that were just about done.

My brother and I were both in university at the moment and have both moved away from our alcoholic parents. How we even survived till now is all thanks to support from friends and teachers. And one of them... Alex. He had been here for a while now, and somewhere between the times we spent together I had found myself seeing him as more than just my brother's best friend.

I saw him as a man I yearned for. I wanted his touch, his lips and even his heart. If only he could feel the slightest bit interested, it would be a dream.

My eyes softened as I stared at the white sheets I was now pinning to the clothes line. The wind blew and the trees whispered in my ears. I tucked some of my hazel hair behind my ears and smiled at the daisies on the wet grass.
