*Hunter POV*

When I started to wake up I realized that me and Alex had fallen on asleep on top of each other. Her head was nuzzled in my neck and her legs were on top of mine. Since I was awake and she was still sleeping, I took the chance to admire her, and take in all of her features. I love the way her top lip curls up. And the way her breath gets loud and heavy when she's sleeping. And the way her blonde highlights fall over her shoulders. She looked so good so I decided I just had to take a picture. I couldn't take it!

I wanted this moment to last forever.

*Alex POV*

I suddenly woke up to someone tickling me.

"Hunter!" I yelled. I just couldn't contain myself.

"Stop Hunter I swear to god I'l-"

"You'll what?" Hunter said as he stopped for a moment and brought his face closer to mine. I could feel his breath lingering on my lips.

"Hunter who's in here your being so loud it's annoying" Brandon says when he barges in, clearly not paying attention to the fact that Hunter has me pinned down on the sofa since he has his face in his phone.

I quickly scooted out from his touch.

I missed it already.

"Oh hey Brandon what are you doing?" I said in a panic.

But he just waved me off "it's okay, I know you guys have a thing you don't need to hide it from me. Just my mom maybe." He said with a wink, leaving the room. He left me and hunter speechless.

But he returned seconds later "Hey Alex, do you by any chance have any cute friends around here? I'm trying to expand my friend group beyond my family here  and the people I know in L.A."

"Actually, I do. I think I have someone in mind just for you. Do you think you would want to come out for dinner and a movie with us sometime? Her name is Lexi. Hunter, you could come too." But I said the last part a little quieter and couldn't help but stare at my feet.

"Oh sweet thanks Alex! That will be perfect, you're the best!" He yelled as he started to walk up the stairs.

"So..." Hunter started as he walked towards me. "A double date... with my brother? Soo romantic" he said as he giggled.

I lightly slapped his chest. "Hey stop! My friends in need too okay?" I said and we laughed it off.

I hadn't thought really about Christine yet. I know me and hunter aren't dating but there's no denying we have a connection. And a strong one at that. I just hope she won't fire me because of it, I need this money.

"Well I'm just going to go upstairs then." Hunter said as he started to walk away.

"Wait, I think I'm going to go home now if that's ok? It's getting late so my moms probably worried."

"Yeah here, why don't I walk you home" he said with that same big, cheesy smile.

As we walked out the door, he called in the house. "Hey guys I'll be right back I'm just going to walk Alex home real quick." And he closed the door but not before more "ooo's" and whistles were heard from up the living room.

*Hunter POV*

I thought it would be the right thing to do. To walk her home and then say goodbye. That's always how I've seen it in the movies at least. Perfect and planned out. Only I didn't know what to say, mostly because of how jittery and excited I got around her. I can't think straight when I'm around Alex.

But I love it.

I love the way I feel when I'm around her.

"So.. this is your house then?"

"Yup, this is it" she said as she walked us up her porch steps. The way the light hit her made her look even more beautiful and irresistible.

Oh those lips.

So plump and pink. Just waiting for me to break the distance. But it's not the right time. Not here, and not now.

I gave her a hug and told her I'd see her tomorrow. The whole walk home all I could think about is how excited I was to see her and how good her lips would feel on mine.

*Alex POV*

After Hunter dropped me off back at home all I could think about is him. How hard I'm falling and how I've only known him a couple days. But it feels like I've known him for years.

I wanted him to kiss me today. I wish he had.

"Maybe tomorrow" I thought as I remembered about having to spend my whole day with them tomorrow and many more days in the future. I guess the good thing is that it probably won't feel like work anymore. But more like a vacation. Since that's how I feel wrapped and safe in his strong arms.
