(Hello guys! It's me again. I was listening to some music and it gave me some inspiration for this story. So as I found it to be quite amusing, I figured I'd write the idea down and try to play with it, see how it works out and so on. So, I dearly hope you enjoy it.)

The Close Call
Chapter One: Too Hot To Handle

"So, what are you up to today, Zack?" My twin Alek addressed me as he plopped down on the lavish sofa right beside where I was currently seated upon it. I let out a sigh and slowly shifted my gaze towards him. What was I up to? Well, I was actually having two conversations by text messaging on my LG env3 right now. One conversation was with my girlfriend, Tess. And the other conversation was with my other girlfriend, Leah. Yeah… I tend to like the ladies, was it possible that anyone could tell? Oh for sure. Definitely. I love the females. Where as my twin... not so much.

"Nothing much," I began lazily, still deciding on whether or not I wanted to get into the details of exactly what I was doing. That was a lot of work after all and it'd be a tragedy if I had to exert the extra effort. "Just messing around." I noticed how he looked at me suspiciously and then smirked. Could he have really caught on to my game that fast? If he did, it was impressive. Extremely impressive.

"Ah, so the usual for you. Who is it you're balancing now?" I blushed, but shrugged it off quickly. There was no way that he actually knew what I was doing with these girls. Did he? Nah… not Alek. He was too innocent for that kind of knowledge. "Don't ignore me Zackary… who have you got on your plate?" I looked at him and then glanced down at my phone.

"Well there's Tess… but then there's also Leah. She's real cute and well… we kinda hit it off. I couldn't just say no Alek." I watched as he sighed and shook his head at what I had just admitted to him. I felt a little pang of guilt, knowing that he was probably disappointed in me. And wait, why the hell did I care again? Since when did he get into my business? I sure as hell stayed out of his… so he should give me the same respect in return, right? I would think so.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too Zack… at one point, you're going to be faced with the decision of what girl you want in your life. Why not just decide now? I mean, no one's in too deep at the moment, so it's easy, right?" I just shrugged as I paid more attention to my texts coming through. This one I liked most particularly.

Heyy sexcii u wanna go out 4 dinner 2morrow nite? – Leah

I dismissed the text message for now as I headed over to the 'calendar' icon and checked up on tomorrow. Ah, I apparently had a date with Tess tomorrow at the movies. See? This is exactly why I saw my cellular device as quite the life saver. Without it, I do not know what I'd do. Probably cry aha. "Zack… sure you might think I'm just rambling, but I'm telling you… you're gonna regret this. But you always have to learn the hard way, don't you?" I text Leah back quickly, telling her that tomorrow night wasn't good for me, but the night following it was, after re - checking my calendar to make sure I was correct with my assumptions. So dinner was good then. It wasn't until my twin literally took my cell phone from my hands and glared at me rather angrily, when I began to give him my attention. "I care about you… and I know you're going to be the one hurting when all of this is said and done, so just listen to me the first time instead of regretting it later on." I glanced at him and deep down I knew that he was right, but I felt that this was something I had to learn myself. Or at least that's how I felt I had to… as much as I loved my brother, I needed to set out and do this all on my own. Without his guidance this time.

"You don't have to worry about me Alek, go play with your 'Boy Toy' and leave me alone for awhile." He looked offended at first, but then he chuckled and shoved me. There was his playful side coming out. Good damn thing. I was beginning to wonder just where it had been lately. Was it as lost as Alek sometimes felt he could be? I sure as hell hoped not and got the result of playfulness.

"Alright, I'll go text – uh, 'feel' him up." He laughed when I noticeably cringed. "Behave Zack, or I'll have to stick Bridgette on your case." My eyes widened as he walked away, chuckling. If he got Bridgette on my case, she'd never get off. F. M. L.

::~*~::

I wearily glanced over at my father, Maxwell and my step – mother Rachel. They seemed so happy together. It was quite evident that they were. Actually, Bridgette kept swooning and sighing over the 'love' they shared with one another. She kept going on and on and on about how sweet, and 'true' she could see their love was. Yeah, sure. Whatever she thought. I personally had a different thought.

Hold up, don't get me wrong or anything. I mean, it's cute – sy and all that but I just can't see myself ever 'falling' for someone. It's just so, it seems so phony. Why would I want something fake? If I wanted fake – ness, I'd date a girl with fake breasts. Can't get more phony than that.

"Aren't they just so cute, Zack?" Oh brother… speaking of the devil, here was the 'Love Princess' now. I really tried, but couldn't help rolling my eyes at her comment. I mean, she was like Cupid's little minion. Spurting lovey dovey bullshit about here and there. Ugh, it was rather sickening when you thought about it… as much as I may or may not have.

Alright, okay… so maybe I have thought about settling down with, 'The One' but I mean… married life seems so, stale. I mean, having sex with the same person, for years? It had to… at some point, get rather boring, didn't it? Eh, perhaps that's why there's all kinds of sex toys, associated objects and such available? Yeah, that had to be it. Keeping things fresh in the bedroom. With something other than Febreze.

Well, the only thoughts I had were of my bedroom… alone. My thoughts consisted of laying down to sleep. Yeah… I needed the rest for tomorrow. I think Del – Rio mentioned something about a chapter test… meh, whatever. I don't pay attention, but I was starting to think that perhaps I should.

::~*~::

So here we have a totally new story from me. It wasn't too long that I ended one, so I figure, why the heck not? And so here is a brand new story from me aha. Of course, I decided to play around with the male twins, Zack and Alek once again. This one more so being about Zack, in his point of view actually. I figured that writing in first person would be a nice change, as well as practice. But anyway, apparently Zack's got quite a load on his plate balancing two girlfriends… well, if you liked it and would like to read more, let me know with a nice review packed with your opinions and such. Thanks for reading and I'll be sure to write some more soon.
