When The Sun Goes Down (Jamie Cook)

Chapter 1: Meeting the Arctic Monkeys

As I continued to walk down the street my phone rang, I picked it up from my pocket and saw it was my brother Alex calling. I put the phone close to my ear and answered it.

'Hello?' I squeaked, walking into a creepy alley. Really, it send chills down my spine.

' 'Ello?' sounded Alex his voice. 'Ah, Scarlett! Alex 'ere!' I rolled my eyes.

'Ey up!' I laughed.

'I'm fine, thanks, nah then, I'm just callin' coz me friends are stayin' for the night, so don't be too shocked when ya come home.' I nodded, but soon I realized that he couldn't see me.

'Yeah, reyt. Well, I'm almost home anyway,' I assured him before I told him goodbye. I walked afor a good five more minutes before I saw my house in front of me. I pressed the doorbell, being to lazy to search for my keys. Nothing... I pressed again. Inheard someone strolling to the door and expected to be Alex, but it wasn't. In case' it was a tall man with blue eyes and brown hair that fell just a little above his shoulders. Well... hello...

' 'Ello?' I questioned him. I was slightly taken aback because of his rather handsome appereance.

'Yup,' he said nonchanlantly. His eyes scanned me up and down.

'Can I come inside my own house?' I giggled uncomfortable. He stepped aside so I could step inside and close the door beside me.'

'So... yer Alex's sister, huh?' he smirked. I nodded and started walking towards the kitchen to drop my stuff there and to pour myself a glass of water. I nodded and took a small sip of the glass. Before he could ask me any other questions, the kitchen was intruded by Alex and two of his other friends.

'Ey, Scarlett!' Alex shouted. I waved at him.

'Jips,' I said, walking towards him and his friends. The boy from earlier followed closely behind me.

'These are me mates, sis, this is Nick.' The boy with hair similar hair like the one who opened the door for me, took a step forward and offered me his hand, which I gratefully accepted and shook. 'He plays the bass.'

'Hey, Scarlett,' his sweet and innocent voice rang in my ear. I blushed and returned the 'hey'.

'This is Matt, our drummer,' he waved his hands to a boy, with mesmerizing eyes and I smiled at him. 'And I see ya already met Jamie.' Alex smirked, which only caused me to blush even more.'

I turned around and saw Jamie grinning at me. Not knowing what to do, I offered him my hand. He carefully took my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing my knuckles.

'Señiorituh,' he spoke. I nodded and smiled weirdly. He let me hand slowly go andit fell numn next to my body. For a few moments I just stared at me and he at me, but I turned around to meet Alex amuzed gaze.

'Where are mum and dad?' I squeaked. Alex shrugged.

'They didn't tell me where they're. But they are not commin' home tunight. Or tomorrow... we're on our own this weekend. We and these lads.' Alex furrowed bis brows. 'Ey, Jameh, will ya stop checkin' out me sister's ass, please, mate,' Alex hissed. My face must've turned a crimson red after Alex snarled at Jamie. I quickly turned around to face Jamie. He smirked at me and winked at me. I cleared my throat and and ran upstairs, to my room.

Man, what was wrong with me? Normally, I am a word spilling waterfall, but now I couldn't even form a sentence out of my throat... Eeh by gum... and if that was true what Alex said to Jamie... shit... I didn't even date to look Jamie in the eye anymore. And I still have to eat. Should the delivery guy bring pizzas to my room? Probably not. However, before I started to panic, I took out my books from school and started to study on my mathematics. I took my pen between my fingers and started making some exercises on it.

Two hours passed and when I checked the clock, I saw it was already nine o'clock. Ugh... and they probably didn't even start making food. And I'm not making any. I was home late and studied so it was my main right to not make food. I opened the door of my room and peered outside, no Jamie... What was I even thinking? This is my house, I don't have to worry about anyone in here, I was being ridiculous. I fully opened the door of my room and went out. I went downstairs and when I didn't smell any food, I was getting pissed at my brother.

'Alex?' I spoke firmly. I saw him and his friends sit on the couch, watching TV. Alex looked up from the TV at me. 'Who's making dinner?' He shrugged, and I also noticed Jamie giving his attention to me, his eyes scanned over my body and I pulled my sweater shut so the view to my chest was blocked.

'You?' Alex asked. I frowned.

'No, Alex, I'm just done studyin' and I came back 'ome late, I'm not gerring started on making some food for five persons,' I sighed. Alex pouted.

'What 'bout orderin' some pizzas?' Matt inquired. Nick nodded happily and so did Jamie.

'Sounds good thu me,' Alex said. 'I'm callin' them.' He took his phone from the coffee table and pressed a few number and put the phone to ear level. Jamie stood up and walked towards me with a grin spread across his face.

'Can ya tell me where the bathroom is love?' His thick Sheffield accent sounded like music to my ears and I froze in place. I glanced at Alex, who was busy telling the person on the other side of the line the exact order, and it didn't sound like they got it. I nodded to Jamie and and motioned to the kitchen.

'Yeah, sure, seconds door to the left,' my voice whispered shakily. He smiled.

'Thank you, darlin',' he whispered seductively. He winked at me before he walked of to the bathroom. I gulped audibly and turned around. Alex had finished the call and slammed his phone down onto the coffee table.

'Eeh by gum, does anyone speak English in that restaurant?' Alex shouted to the innocent phone. I chuckled and sat down next to him on the couch and watched TV.
