*Alex's POV*
“You can’t be serious!” she exclaimed. “I leave you alone for 5 minutes and you have the school hottie all over you.”
“Annie, come on. I really need your help, stop fooling around!” I sighed in exasperation. She wasn’t taking this serious at all. “What am I going to do? What does all this mean? You know I’m no good when it comes to this stuff.”
“Ally, calm down!” she ordered, raising her hands dramatically just for effect.
“Calm down?” I questioned in disbelief, “CALM DOWN?! HOW COULD ANYONE BE CALM IN THIS SITUATION?! I don’t know what to do, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat and I certainly can’t ‘calm down’!”
She choked, trying to hold back a laugh. After a moment, she caved and I followed suit, clutching my sides as I bent in two giggling uncontrollably at my own outburst. When the laughter subsided some time later, she grabbed my hands in her own, looked me in the eye, an evil smirk creeping over her features. “Here’s what we do…”
An hour later and I was standing gazing into the mirror in disbelief. This couldn’t be me! Annie had undertaken to give me a makeover and I really couldn’t believe my eyes. She was a miracle worker! Granted I’m not what you’d call unattractive, but I was far from perfect, that much I was well aware of. But now, staring back at me stood a girl whom I almost didn’t recognize. I had changed from my worn skinny jeans to my best pair, the ones that fitted to perfection and showed off my “hot ass” according to Annie. Instead of the blue shirt, I now donned a purple halter-top that clung in all the right places, stopping just short of my naval to showcase my flat stomach. My hair fell in loose waves around my shoulders, rather than the usual bird’s nest fashion, and the benefits of Annie’s beauty course were apparent in my make up. I don’t think I had ever looked so well, and I hoped Nate would agree.
“You look HOT!” Annie squealed, clapping her hands in excitement, “He’s not gonna know what hit him.”
“Are you sure this is a good idea, Annie?” I wondered, my nerves getting the better of me. “I mean, what is Trent going to think? What if I can’t pull this off? I’m not even good enough for the likes of Nate Lewis! What was I even thinking?”
“Alexandra Jane Henderson! You are a beautiful, confident, sexy, AMAZING girl. You have everything in the world going for you, you just need to remember that and use it to your advantage”, she stated, giving me the usual best friend pep talk. “ Now, I am not taking no for an answer. You, my friend, are going to strut that hot ass down those stairs and flirt like your life depends on it. End of story.”
I let out a small chuckle; Annie always did have a way with words. She could always cheer me up no matter what and I loved her so much for that.
“Okay, okay”, I gave in, holding up my hands defensively, “You win, I’ll do it.”
Taking one last look in the mirror, I let out a sigh before turning for the door, Annie squealing with the excitement of getting her own way.
My timing could not have been more perfect. Just as I had reached the top of the stairs I heard the commotion from outside the door: they were back. “Showtime”, Annie whispered, causing my stomach to somersault. She passed by me, scurrying down to the kitchen and leaving me staring expectantly at the front door.
*Nate’s POV*
We arrived back in Trent’s house after what seemed to be the longest run of my life. Don’t get me wrong, it was the same route I always took, my favourite run, but this morning I just didn’t want to go. My mind wandered to Alex the whole time and the hour and a half just seemed to drag. I just wanted to stay in Trent’s, just be around her, and look into those mesmerizing blue eyes. I had always known Alex to be an attractive girl, but I don’t know what it was lately, I was just seeing her in a completely different light. She wasn’t just my best mate’s kid sister, she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, and I just couldn’t help myself when I was around her.
As I walked in the door, my breath caught in my throat and I was left frozen where I stood. There she was, half way down the stairs, looking every inch the striking girl I knew her to be, even more so. I scanned her body, taking in every detail. I noted how her high heeled boots and perfectly fitted skinny jeans showed off and elongated her toned legs. I observed the taught skin of her midriff, and the way her halter-top hung highlighting what was underneath. My gaze travelled up to her heavenly face, taking in each and every flawless feature, until it fell on my favourite. Her electric blue eyes met my own and I couldn’t help the smile that appeared on my face. She was breathtaking, sexy, alluring- I just couldn’t take my eyes off of her.
I hadn’t noticed, but Trent had already made his way into the kitchen. She reached the bottom of the stairs just as I did, and I found myself coming face to face with her, my mouth only inches from hers, something I was becoming increasingly aware of. For a moment we both stayed silent, my eyes fixed on hers. Her gaze flicked to my lips only for a moment before returning again, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. I could feel the intensity rising between us and I knew she could too. My heart pounded in my chest and I wondered if she could hear it too. My hand rose unconsciously, pushing a loose lock of her radiant blonde hair behind her ear, before resting it on her cheek.
I didn’t say anything, I didn’t need to, my actions would speak volumes. Slowly I inched my face towards hers, my eyes locked on hers. With merely an inch between us I could feel the heat of her body rising mirroring my own. Her breath caught in her throat and I smirked at the effect I had on her, I loved it. Desire coursed through my body as I closed the final distance between us. Her body melted into mine as our lips touched ever so gently. Even at the slightest touch I could feel the sparks; fireworks ignited and the world around me faded to a blur. I was kissing her hungrily and she was kissing me back with just as much force. My tongue slipped into her mouth and she responded instantly. I moaned at the contact and felt her smile against my lips. When we eventually pulled away we were both breathless. I rested my forehead against hers, my chest rising and falling rapidly as I tried to calm my ragged breathing and pounding heartbeat. She had such an effect on me and it was clear that my actions had done the same to her. For a while we just stared at each other, both of us unable to speak, either from shock, breathlessness, or maybe even a mixture of the two.
Finally I found my words, my voice coming out huskily and thick with lust. “That was…” I trailed off, unable to even begin to describe how incredible that had been. She really was something else.
“Yeah…” she replied, slightly dazed. She dropped her gaze to the floor as her cheeks heated up.
Putting my index finger below her chin, I tilted her head back and kissed both her rosy cheeks. “You’re cute when you blush”, I smiled, “don’t hide it.”
