Attraction {in editing}

Chapter 1

I walked out of the small shop located in the promenade. The air was cold. I was minding my own business when a man bumped into me.

"I'm so sorry, didn't see you there."

I muttered, looking down at my shoes as the blood rushed to my cheeks

"No it's alright " He smiled, lighting a cigarette

I noticed he had beautiful green eyes. The kind you get lost in. The kind that makes you get butterflies and the kind where you can't hold in a smile and end up standing there looking like an idiot.
If those are the ones that you get lost in, then man was I lost as hell.

"I'm sorry what?" I managed to mutter after studying his jawline for a second. I was so in thought I couldn't even distinguish his words. He lightly hovered his hand over mine and I looked down at them.

"Just that it was alright you bumped into me, Have a lovely day." He said through his smile as he let go of my hand and walked away.

"You too" I mumbled even though I knew he couldn't hear me, he was already down the next block.

I felt those butterflies.

I walked back home, with those butterflies still in my tummy and grabbed my key to open the door.

"James, are you home?" I yelled through the house

Then I felt a hand over my mouth I squirmed and struggled, and eventually kicked the person in the shin.

"God dammit Vic!" James said as he threw himself on the couch holding his leg

"James I'm so sorry oh my god I thought-"

"Thought someone was trying to kill you I know blah blah blah"

"Ughhhh you're such a pain" I threw a pillow at him

"But you love me" He said after lightly tugging my hair

"I suppose, if I have to" I sighed dramatically with my hand on my forehead

"So mean, you're such an ass Vic" He pushed me on the couch

"AW BUT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" I threw myself on him and kissed all over his face

"EW EW EW GET OFF UGH"
He screeched pushing me off

"Then stop calling me names!" I pouted

"Never! However, on another note, you can't stop smiling who'd you fuck?"

"JAMES SHUT UP"

"Well??"

"Okay well this boy named- well- I di-"

"Didn't get his name?"

"Well no but we didn't fuck either we just kind of bumped into eachother. But James he was flawless. And his eyes oh my god"

"Did you feel like Niagra Falls ? You made a puddle?"

"Ugh James shut up, If we fucked maybe I would but we didn't so I'm not!"

"Wow he must be so gorgeous" He sarcastically shot back

"Oh how your sarcasm amuses me, and for your information, he was flawless"

"Well you can't date him because I'm your best friend and I make the rules, I'm supposed to protect you."

"Doubt he'd date me. Look at me! I'm such a mess right now."

"You look great. But you'd look better ordering pizza over the phone for me" He smirked as I got up , he hit my arse

"I hate you." I jumped on him lightly and replaced him by knocking him off the couch

"So what are we going to do about this 'mystery boy' ?" He said picking himself off the ground that I had knocked him onto.

"Hopefully I run into him again. "

I loved James. He was one of those friends that was an outcast like me, but when we were together we had the best time no matter how alone I felt or he felt.

He was my bestfriend so we bought a house together. I mean we share a bed sometimes, but nothing "romantic" has ever gone on. He's adorable, but I couldn't imagine dating him and he couldn't imagine dating me either. But we'd always been close. We never fought, we were good to eachother. We looked out for each other a whole lot and I appreciated that.

"Well I hope things work out. And if they don't, I'll kick his ass." he replied, being unfairly austere.

"Well it's 9 already so I'm gonna go to sleep I'm exhausted." I said hanging up my coat and heading upstairs

"DONT HOG THE BLANKETS"
James screeched from the couch

"Eh. no promises" I said in a low voice .
