Sharon looked in her mirror before heading out the door to meet Maria at life cycles. She wore a white sheer cropped top with her midriff baring, skinny jeans and black pumps. Her hair was curled and she wore light makeup with a baby pink gloss on her lips. Sharon smiled and was glad to see her perfectly straight white teeth free of braces, she opened her mouth and inspected the tongue piercing she got recently. It was a green barbell and looked good, no infection hooray! Sharon looked totally awesome and was happy to be 18 and have more freedom. Her mother even said so as long as she was responsible and stuck to her curfew which was extended to 11pm on school days and 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. Although Sharon and Alden weren't together now that didn't matter because she was on the rebound and had her eyes set on a certain friend of Adam's...Tony. She heard through the grapevine at school that he was also single and would most likely be at life cycles tonight.

Sharon walked through the door and looked around to find Maria and scope out the scene. She found Maria sitting at one of the tables close to the window and spotted Tony sitting on the couch with some friends of his. Tony looked up and caught her eye which she quickly cast away and strode over to Maria giving her a wave and a 'Hey'. Tony placed his hand on the back of his neck and watched Sharon take a seat opposite Maria. He had to admit she looked hot! He hadn't paid much attention to her over the years but suddenly he was taking notice. Tony also noted how grown up she looks, a few inches taller with long legs and a slender frame and not to mention a fuller bust he was definitely going to reconsider her. The only reason he didn't respond to her advances all those years ago was because she was just Adam's kid sister who was far to young and undeveloped. Now was a different story and he was going to see if there was anything between them worth pursuing, not a relationship but maybe a fling will do.

'So what do you think about Tony and me?' Sharon asked Maria as she sipped her smoothie. Maria did not expect to hear that come from the mouth of her best friend. 'Are you really going down that train again? I thought you forget about him' She said slightly exasperated. 'I was but now that me and Alden are broken up I think I'm into him again' Sharon replied twirling a strand of her hair. Tony was a total stud! Even more so than he was a few years back. He is so Italian and handsome with a muscular frame. 'Well I don't know it might work out this time cause your older' Maria said pondering the idea of Sharon and Tony together. Maria had grown up too just like all their peers have. She wore her black hair with red highlights to her shoulders and got an eyebrow piercing. She was still petite but grew an inch or two and wore a black jacket over a green top with skinny jeans and converses. Maria had black mascara and red gloss on her lips, she was totally exotic and badass. 'Yeah but I'm not actually looking for anything serious just a bit fun, what should I do?' Sharon asked knowing that her best friend always had the best advice. 'Fun eh' Maria raised her eyebrows playfully and said 'Make eye contact and smile simple' she stated. Sharon did so, she looked back over to the couch and was surprised to find Tony looking straight at her with intent in his eyes, he was smirking. Sharon smiled at him hoping that she didn't look too flustered as she felt under his intense gaze.

Tony noted a blush creep over Sharon's cheeks as she smiled at him and thought it was cute. She was definitely giving him the look and he decided to make a move. There was something endearing about her, a kind of innocence. He thought that was a turn on and decided to mark her, ruffle her feathers a little and see her wild side. In fact he had to keep those thoughts in check otherwise he might be seen eager which is not how a guy should operate. He had to be cool, calm and confident which he was already and now was the time to act. 'Hey' he said creeping up behind her and putting one hand on the table with his front slightly touching Sharon's back. She stiffened and did her best to seem oblivious to the fact that Tony's body was in contact with hers! 'Hey back' she smiled wide enough to expose her tongue piercing. Tony was a bit surprised to find her piercing peeking out from her mouth but now he had confirmation that she possessed a wild side and maybe more. 'How's it going guys?' he asked the girls to make friendly chatter as he didn't want to alienate Sharon's friend, and wanted casual conversation with the hope of asking Sharon out. 'Not much' the girls replied. Tony leaned more on the table and turned his head to Sharon 'So you got any plans next Friday?' He asked to the point, smiling confidently. Sharon looked pleased to hear Tony ask her out I mean that was what she wanted and got it. 'I actually don't' she replied coyly. 'How about I pick you at 7:30pm and we can hang out' Tony said not exactly sure how he wanted the date to go. 'Sure' Sharon replied. 'Great I'll see you then' Tony put his hand briefly on her forearm and strode off.

'Did you see that?' Sharon asked her tone a pitch higher. 'Sure did' Maria smiled giving her a thumbs up. As they finished the rest of their smoothies and chatted, Sharon's thoughts drifted to her date next Friday with Tony. 'What am I gonna wear?' She blurted amidst conversation. 'We'll figure it out, ready to go?' Maria asked. 'Yeah let's go' Sharon replied tucking her chair in and giving a small wave to Tony who was standing next to the cashier stand. He waved back and winked at her. Sharon was pleased to see him interested in her although his wink unnerved her slightly; it was like he knew something she didn't! Sharon wasn't sure how far she was willing to go with Tony but he was sexy and older and so not like Alden who was such a gentleman was never too forward with her. This was a whole new arena and she couldn't wait to explore it with Tony. Having him give her such attention and promise of something she didn't know ignited a flame down in her abdomen and desire flushed over her. She hoped she was ready and could handle it.
