Chapter 1

Duncan POV

I swear she was the most beautiful thing on this earth the moment she walked down those stairs. At first I wasn't to happy about Owen's decision to make his yacht party all formal and dressy. No way was I going to be caught dead in a suit. But seeing Courtney completely changed my mind. Man, I swear I am the luckiest guy alive to have this girl as my date, even to a stupid yacht part held by the winner of a crappy reality TV show. ..

Courtney stepped directly in front of me and stood there looking me up and down as I did the same. Her totally hot body was slipped into a body hugging, little, black dress. The sleaves were puffy and hanging off the sides of her shoulders, and I immediately noticed the extent of cleavage that was shown. I swear I would have done some unmentionable things to her, if her mum wasn't there. I must have been staring, and drooling, over her for too long because she cleared her throat and brought me back to my senses.

"Eyes to your self pervert," she whispered as she walked past me and out the door into the cool night air.

I turned to her mum, "When do you want Courtney home by? The party is meant to finish at 10 but it'll probably go later."

"I would like her back by 10:30, but I guess if she really wants to stay later she can just ring and let us know," she popped her head through the doorway behind her, "is that ok with you Steve?"

A faint mumble came from the other room that was barely discernable. I managed to catch 'curfew', 'late nights' and 'delinquent'.

Courtney's mum turned back around to face me while her dad continued grumbling. She rolled her hazel eyes and let out an amused laugh. "That's about the closest thing to yes, so I'd take it if I was you. Now get going you two and have fun!"

I couldn't help but smile as I walked to the car from the just closed door. Man her mum was cool!

Courtney was already in the car when I hopped in and was looking solemnly out the window. "You know you're meant to wait for the gentleman to open the door for you princess."

Courtney POV

I looked up at his face, his stunningly handsome face. Okay, did I seriously just think that? Well I guess he is looking really dreamy tonight. With that tight fitting, purple satin shirt and that sharp black suit… Courtney! Snap out of it!

I came back to reality to find Duncan looking at me with an odd expression on his face. It was one I'd seen lots of times before, but it's never been that overwhelming. He also had a faint smile on his face. Wow, was that cute.

"What are you smiling at sweetheart?" I expected a snappy comeback or at least a dig at the use of sweetheart, but instead he leaned closer and a sense of seriousness crossed his face.

"Courtney you look absolutely beautiful tonight."

Duncan POV

For a second I thought that I'd scared her off and completely ruined the moment. So I was relieved when she leaned even closer to me and gazed right back at me.

"Well, You're looking very handsome tonight yourself."

I gave her a sweet smile back and was about to lean in for the kiss when she added, "For a pig."

I held back a laugh. Some things never change.
