Love and Friendship

Four

Tony: You guys know each other?

He asked confused.

Selena: No. I tripped this morning in the lobby after my run. He catched me before I hit the ground.

She blushed at the thought of this morning's event.

Tony: Oh god Sel. Are u alright then?

Tony the overprotective one as always.

Selena: Yeah I'm fine. (Turning to Nathan). Thank you again.

She smiled showing off those dimples of hers which sent Nathan on edge.

Nathan: Uh... It's no problem. (Gosh. She is so beautiful!)

Tony: So Sel, this is my best friend Nathan. (Turning to Nathan) Nate, this is my out of bounds baby sister. (He said raising his eyebrows)

Selena: Tony! (Smacks him on the arm)

Tony winced playfully and smirks.

Tony: You are! And don't you forget that!

Nathan smiled at both of them and said his hello to Selena. He did not offer his hand to shake, neither did Selena.

Selena: Uh.. I have a bit of unpacking to do before lunch, Tony. I'll see u in a bit.

With that, Selena then turned to her room and close the door behind her.

His heart starts beating faster and he feels sad to see her leave.

Nathan POV

I'm screwed. She is my best friend's sister. What is this?

I do not do relationships. I know that will never happen and it could not happen. Not with my situation.

Selena POV

Tony's best friend?

This is not good. Not good at all.

After moving things around, the house finally came together nicely. It is a beautiful house with a minimalist concept decor. Nathan helps with the TV connection as well as the PS4 for their regular gaming.

Selena took a quick shower and put on a black tunic top with white leggings. She had always been a tad conservative with her dressing.

She came into the living room ready to head out for lunch when she sees Nathan bending over the TV console shirtless.

Something stirred in her and she cannot keep her eyes off of him.

Those perfect muscular arms with a well toned torso. She could see beads of sweat down his back as he tried to move the console to fix the wiring.

As if on cue, he turned and caught her checking him out.

She blushed so hard out of embarrassment and turned so quickly, she banged into Tony.

Tony: Woah Sel! What's the hurry?

Selena: Uh... uh.. I'm hungry!

She blurted out loudly, Tony raised his eyebrow but didn't question her further.

Tony: Ok well, I'll change into a clean shirt and we'll get going. Nate, join us ya. I'm buying since you help us out here.

Nathan: Sure.

When Tony left to change, Nathan starts dressing up.

Nathan: You know, you should be more discreet if you don't want to be caught checking me out. (He smirks slightly)

Selena: (blush harder) Well... I was not checking you out! Don't flatter yourself.

He close the distance between them and she could feel his breath on her face. She swear he could hear her heart beating out of her chest.

Nathan: I don't really mind if the one looking is someone as beautiful as you.

She looked up to those eyes and he gave his dashing smile which makes her knees weak. His eyes darted down to her lips and at that moment, he really wants to taste those lips.

They were just inches apart when Tony said in a fierce whisper.

Tony: Nate. Step away from my sister.
