8|romeo...

I smile at Romeo while taking in his view. He is gorgeous. His muscles show through his tight T-shirt and his smile is unforgettable.
"Hi, we haven't met. I'm Romeo." He says as he pulls in for a hug. Wow a hugger, not a handshaker. From the 2 minutes I've seen him, he is such a gentleman.

We both pull away from the hug and my dad picks up the car keys. Here we go. Off to explore my paradise. I grab my phone and a purse Rose also brought for me. Somehow without her knowing what dress I was going to wear, it matched perfectly. She was just so perfect. How? I really liked Rose. She always knew what to do. Not like I've only known her for a day but I think she's going to be a great friend.

I'm wedged in between Rose and Romeo in the back seat. I asked my Dad to drive the 'regular' car because I didn't want to bring too much attention to ourselves. I've never been a fan of big crowds. It's just not my thing. Ever.

Rose makes a phone call whilst me and Romeo are just having the usual small talk. Every few minutes my Dad chirps in saying something and Romeo and I laugh. We go over a small bump and Romeo's knee touches mine but he doesn't move it after the car goes back to its steady pace. I don't mind it, it was comforting. Nor did it look suspicious, seeing all three of us where in the back seat and my Dad and the security in the front seats. I guess I have to get used to these people with us all the time. It's for safety so I don't mind it that much.

The car comes to a stop and Romeo moves his knee away from mine and my knee becomes cold. It was nice having some sort of reassurance, if you can call it that. When Romeo's fully out the car, he takes my hand to help me out too. I think I'm blushing. He's so sweet. He also flashes me a quick smile and I do the same.

We walk through the towns and browse through small individual shops and Rose has picked out so many cute clothes for me. Her gift to me, she says. I'm being so spoilt here, it's crazy.

In one shop I do try on a little dress. It's quite short but I thought it was super cute. I walk out of the changing booth and show them all. Rose smiles and my Dad gives a thumbs up. I do a small twirl but Romeo looks... mad? I turn to see what he's looking at. Oh. A guy staring at me. Particularly my body.

If looks could kill, Romeo would have killed that guy in an instance. But the guy notices Romeo's deadly look and he walks out of the shop immediately. Suddenly, Romeo perked up acting as if nothing had just happened.

I moved on from the situation and said to Rose, "I think I'm gonna buy this. I really love it!" Us girls squeal in excitement and I only realise when we're blocking the doorway when Romeo slips his hand on my waist to get past.

I feel a blush tinge on my face because I love the touch. His touch. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing to me. I've barley been here and I think I'm already crushing. On my new friends brother. Oh no. No. No. No. That can't be happening.

"Falling for my brother?" Rose whispers.
Fuck. She noticed.

I don't know what to do now. It's so embarrassing. Lord help me.
