His name is Joseph Morgan

Ch.3

Alicia and I are at the mall now, it's been six months since she lost her parents in a car accident. She's changed of course, she only wants to party now.

She's been bugging me since moving in about going with her to different parties, which I finally gave in. So at this very moment, we are shopping for something for me to wear tonight.

"Okay Alicia, whose party is this? " I ask nervously.

"Who fucking cares. We are going to have a good time and forget about our worries." She sighs.

"Besides Jess your nineteen, you need to get out more or you'll end up being like Aunt Charlene. "

And that's all she has to say to make me go. I'm no longer awkward but I can still be shy at times.

I try on different outfits and let Alicia decide what fits me best. So I continue to be a dress up dolly for her. She finally decide on a pink halter top that show my belly button and some black cut off jean shorts that allow the inside pockets to peep out from the bottom.

"Are you sure about this? My dad will have something to say about this. And besides what shoes will I wear? " I continue to look at myself in the mirror and think about how I've matured.

My acne is none existent, my boobs are a C cup, my waist is slim with no baby fat, and my butt sticks out. Alicia makes fun at how big it's gotten. I see nothing funny about it that's why I try to hide it under big shirts.

Now look at it, she is definitely showing it off in these shorts, and the shirt isn't long enough.

"Girl whatever, your not a child anymore. Your a grown woman, besides Uncle James won't see you, your going to the sorority house with me. We can get ready there." She smirks. It's a good thing her sorority have a chapter here. "And you can wear my pink high tops. "

"Great. " I flatly grumble. Of course she have it all figured out. She laughs at me because she knew I would try to get out of going to the party.

----------------------

We arrive fashionably late, that's what Alicia says but I say we're just waiting to make a big entrance for Alicia of course. Lately she likes extra attention, I think it have something to do with her parents not being here to give her attention.

The house is a big three story loft home with huge glass windows that allow you to see the floor to ceiling. There are a lot of people here but it's not crowded.

Alicia whispers in my ear "I'm going to find Jaime, stay here I'll be back. "

Jaime is the love of her life, when she transferred here after her parents death he followed. That must be real love.

I stood by a big white double wide staircase and waited patiently for fifteen minutes and Alicia had not returned. So I left my spot and wondered over to the open area that the majority of the people were.

While scanning the room I notice many different expensive decorations around the room. Who in their right mind would throw a party in a place like this, I hope they have good insurance coverage.

I notice a fire place with a huge portrait above it and I could not believe whom I was seeing. It was Seph's self portrait big as day. Well now I know whose home I'm in, speaking of which, I see him in the corner making conversation with a tall red head.

It's funny how you can see a person many times before but not really see them. I guess you could say it's because I'm older now but I never noticed how handsome Seph was before.

His dirty blonde hair with those aqua blue eyes were perfect along with his high cheekbones and his full lips along with a perfect small nose. Wow he's just perfect.

Uh oh, he sees me looking at him, oh no he's coming my way. I feel my throat drying and my heart starts to beat fast, it feels like deja vu.

He smiles now with his perfect teeth as he continue to make his way to me. He stops less than a foot between us and grab my waist to pull me in to his body for a tight hug. My head is right at his chin and I inhale his cologne.

"Wow Jess, finally you've come to my home. I have been begging Alicia to get you to come. " He holds me close a little longer than being friendly and then he surprise me with a kiss to my cheek.

I stutter, "What? You know my cousin?"

He laughs and release me. "Yes your dad introduced her at the firm as his niece, I started asking her questions about you and she said she hated me immediately. But somehow we are good friends now. Anyway, Wow Jess you are truly a beauty. You've really grown into your skin."

"Thank you. You've been asking about me?"

I'm speechless, so what do I do? I gaze into those beautiful aqua blue eyes and smile.

He smile back and nervously chuckle, "Of course I have. When I ask your dad he says 'that is of no importance to you Morgan.' " he laughs. "I miss seeing those beautiful dimples. " he lean in and kiss my left and then my right dimple.

My smile disappear and my stomach have butterflies. He's flirting with me, have he always flirted with me. Nah not at the beginning , I was a kid then. But he is definitely flirting now.
