Paige P.O.V.
I put one of my arms over my eyes to block the sun and I use my other hand to search for my phone. Patting down everywhere until I found the phone, 11:44 AM it read. This used to never happen to me but lately I wouldn't know why I would have to get out of bed early. I groaned dramatically and swung my legs out the bed. I walked over to my bathroom and wow my face didn't look that horrible this morning.
I brushed my teeth and hair, splashed some cold water in my face. I decided against changing clothes, my night clothes are way to comfy like a second skin.
Once downstairs I realised that there is nobody home by the looks of it, which is good. Silence is good, I like peace. I grabbed a bowl and made some cereal, suddenly my peace was disturbed by my annoying step brother Ben. "Guess who has a date with a damn hot chick!" He yelled out as he approached me.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. My father married his mother when we were both very little, we basically grew up as siblings but he is annoying and full of himself.
"Do I know the victim?" I asked. "She's not a victim!" He defended himself.
"Okay tell me then, first and last name." I raised my brow to challenge him.
"I still have to learn it." Yeah right, poor girl. We all know how Ben is, everyone who doesn't want to hook up on the first date is according to him a prude. I started walking away. "She's coming over today." He mumbled as he jogged up the stairs. He's such an idiot.
I was scrolling through Netflix trying to find something good to watch, I heard a few sounds by the front door. "Paige." I heard my step brother say excitedly. When has he ever sounded this excited? He walked over to me with a brunette by his side. "This is my sister Paige. Paige this is Emily." He said as he leaned over the couch. "Look how hot she is! Told you I'm winning." He whispered in my ear and then he started walking up the stairs. "I forgot my wallet, I'll be just a minute." He said as he left us alone.
I got up and slowly approached the girl to see if she's as hot as he says she is. "I'm Paige." I said, introducing myself properly while reaching out to shake her hand. She took it and looked up. "Emily."
Holy shit. This girl is hot, her brown eyes reminded me of coffee, her long silk hair was perfect and looked like waves falling down her shoulder. She's about the same height as me and has a very slim beautiful body. I snapped out of my illusion as I heard Ben running down the stairs. Only then I noticed we were holding hands, I never gave her her hand back.
I let go of her hand. "It was nice meeting you Emily." I said finding myself lost for more words.
"Yeah." She said. "Bye Paige." A small smile was on her face as Ben came over and grabbed her hand pulling her out the house.
"Bye Paige." He yelled before slamming the door behind him. I slumped back on the couch.
Why did he rub her hotness in my face? Why didn't I realize I was holding her hand still? It almost felt like it was normal.
Emily P.O.V.
He walked me to my door. "I had a really great time." I lied convincingly to him, the truth is it was horrible. He clearly was thinking about sex and didn't stop looking at my breasts the entire time. Ben was full of himself, he talked a lot about how much money he had and was rude to the waiters at the restaurant. Which I extremely hated, as I know it's a hard job.
"I'm glad. I did too." He said and leaned in slightly. "We should do it again sometime." He said, smoothly leaning in more. I know I do not want to go through this again but I have a problem with rejecting people. I can't do it. "Yeah." I blurted out and he grinned at me. He closed the gap, catching me by surprise but I kissed back. The kiss felt wrong, very wrong. He pulled away smiling. "Awesome." He announced loudly.
Did he really think that was good?
"I should go inside." I said awkwardly as I opened my door.
Why on earth did I agree to another date with that fuckboy?
It's been two weeks since I met Ben, we've gone on three dates and I have to admit he's not that bad. Yeah he's still cocky, rude and way to overprotective but he showed me his sweet romantic side last time as we cooked together and ate it together afterwards. It seemed as a perfect date to me, which we ended with Netflix. At 8 tonight, he will pick me up again.
I pick out a black lacey dress and slide it on, it goes mid-thigh and has a low neck line. I slip on my black pumps, quickly take care of my make-up while I heard the knock on the door already. "Fuck."
I ran downstairs and opened the door, there he was the dark haired guy I was thinking about. "Hi." I greeted as I stepped outside and closed the door silently. "Hey." He grabbed my hand and helped me into the car. "I missed you." He said looking into my eyes. "I missed you too." I happily replied.
"What are you craving?" He asked as we walked up the steps to his house. Erm didn't he plan anything? "I thought pizza?" He asked.
A girl was jogging of the stairs with a look of worry in her eyes. "Oh hi Emily." She looked at me and put on a smile before grabbing her older brother to the side. I heard their voices but not good enough to know what they are arguing about. "Calm down!" Was about the only thing I could make out together with, "I'm on a date. Fuck off!"
"Sorry about that, pizza?" He said with a soft voice. I smiled and nodded before we were interrupted again by the girl with her phone clutched in her hand. "Paige cool off will you?! You're scaring Emily."
She immediately stopped, mid staircase, she turned around and slowly walked back down. "I'm sorry." She said approaching me. "I didn't mean to scare you." She placed her hand on my arm, gently rubbing it. Making my stomach burst with butterflies. I couldn't help but get lost in her gaze, suddenly feeling lost for words I just nodded at the girl.
"Bye angel." She said calmly as she turned once again to walk up the stairs. "Okay pizza." Ben said with a grin when she left.
Hi beautiful readers!
As you see I'm back already :)
I feel very good about the first 11 chapters, I haven't written more yet.
I was too excited to keep it from you all any longer!
The ones who are familiar with my work will feel I think that I'm trying out something new.
Thank you! xxxx
