Okay, here is my newest story. I hope you like it. Please Reviews!!!
It was a request from RKOsgirl92. Thank you for your help on this so far.
Lexie Stanton couldn't believe her luck. She was assigned to be the editor for Chris Irvine's new book. He was someone she hadn't seen in twenty years. She had grown up next door to him and had always had a little crush on him but he was ten years older than her and she knew he had always seen her as Abbie's little sister. He had dated Abbie in high school but after graduation, they broke up. Now, Lexie was going to be spending a lot of time with him.
She walked into the arena and began looking for Chris. She wondered if he would even remember who she was. She had told Abbie about being the editor and she had laughed at her little sister as she remembered the crush. Just as she was in thought, she bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention." She said to the person.
"That's okay. It's not often I get bumped into by a pretty girl." John Morrison said to her.
Lexie blushed at being called pretty. She never considered herself that. She thought she was just plain. She was just a petite blue eyed blond. She wasn't tall or sexy. She was just plain.
"Can I help you with something?" He asked her.
"I am looking for Chris Irvine." She replied to him. "Can you tell where I can find him?"
"Sure. I will take you there." John said offering his arm to her.
"Thank you." She said taking it.
They walked down the hall a little ways and came to the locker room. She saw Chris's name on the door.
"Here you are." John said.
"Thank you." She said again to him. She knocked on the door and waited for Chris to open it.
"What?" Chris said opening the door.
"Mr. Irvine, I'm Lexie Stanton. Your editor for your book." She said to him.
"Right, come in." He replied opening the door for her. She looked familiar to him but he couldn't place her but he recognized the last name. "So, I have the chapters on my computer. Do you want to edit them?"
"Sure." She replied. "If you don't mind me using your computer."
"Not at all." He laughed. "So, Stanton, that isn't a common last name. I used to date a girl with the last name, Abbie Stanton."
"Abbie is my sister, Chris." Lexie replied with a smile.
It was then that he realized who she was and why she looked familiar.
"Alexia Stanton." He said smiling. "I haven't seen you since you were ten years old. Now, look at you, all grown up."
"Yeah. Nice to see you again, Chris." Lexie said getting his computer.
"So, how is Abbie?" He asked her. He once thought that Abbie was the love of his life but when she left for college, they ended things.
"Fine. She is a lawyer and married to a lawyer." Lexie replied as she started to read a chapter.
"I always knew she would be a great lawyer. So, what about you? How did you get assigned to this project?"
"My boss just assigned me it."
"Well, I am glad I got you as the editor. At least it is someone I know."
"Yeah. This chapter is good. Do you work a little at time on each one or write a few at a time?" She asked looking at him.
"It depends. Why is something wrong?" He asked her sitting beside her.
"No. I was just wondering. So far, everything looks good." She said closing the laptop. "We can have you message me the chapters or however you want to do that."
"Aren't we going to work together on this?"
"We can if you want." She said blushing a little. After all, this was the guy she had her childhood crush on.
"I would like for us to work on this together." He replied to her. "It's nice to have a friend and someone who knows me working on this."
"Chris, I don't know that much about you now. Like you said, we haven't seen each other in twenty years. To you, I am probably still Abbie's little sister." She stopped not believe that she had said it like that.
"Believe me, I don't see you as Abbie's little sister." He said to her. "You aren't that ten year old little girl with pigtails anymore. You are grown up and I want to get to know you now and you can get to know me. That way, you can really help with the book. So, what do you say? Give it a try."
"Okay. But as your editor, you have to listen to my recommendations and things." She answered back with a smile.
"Deal." He said shaking her hand. "So, let's get started."
Both sat down and she continued to read some of what he had written. It was weird for her to be there with him. He was the one guy when she was younger that she had the biggest crush on. When he would come over to get Abbie for their dates, Lexie would talk to him but she was just a little girl. She knew it would never be more.
But here she was twenty years later meeting up with him again. There was still the ten year age difference but it didn't seem so big now but she knew no matter what he said, he still saw her as Abbie's little sister. And she wasn't sure if there was anything she could do to change that.
