Hellooooo I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I'm on a roll now so I'm already putting up another chappie just for you my sexy bunnies. I hope you're impressed

Suze's POV

For the rest of the week I tried to have the least contact with Jake as possible, ignoring him and spending most of my time in my room, or out with CeeCee and Adam. When I did have to speak to him, I managed to cut it down to one or two words. I just wasn't in the mood to be near him, and it was better for me because it didn't hurt so much when I remembered his 'slut' comment.

"Thank God the weeks almost over!" CeeCee plonked herself down on the table, slamming her books so hard that my pasta almost jumped out of its container. "I can't wait for the party tomorrow but we HAVE to go shopping after school today Simon. I have no idea what to wear and you need to tell me!"

I opened my mouth to object but she cut me off. "Don't give me that crap about your mall phobia Simon. We're going shopping and that's final. I want something that says elegant, and sophisticated, but at the same time incredibly slutty and available. In fact I'm not too worried about elegant!" We both laughed.

"Seriously though Cee, you gonna try and pull Adam at last? We need to get you something good. Then finally he'll realise what an idiot he's been and ask you out!" I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively at her.

CeeCee squealed. "Yeah and we need to get you something sexy so that Paul will not just lick his lips, but drool too!" I snorted, yes snorted with laughter and mock-punched her on the arm, just as Adam appeared behind us.

"Hey girly girls, what are you laughing about hmm? And Suze that is a wonderfully delicate snort. So lady-like." He patted me on the head, much like an owner would do to their dog.

Nice.

Jake's POV

I'm pretty pissed off with myself to be honest. More than pissed off actually, I'm furious. Why can't I fucking think before I speak? Seriously. I could tell how much that awful 'slut' comment hurt Suze, even before I said the whole sentence. How could I have hurt her like that? I really am a dick.

A dick who's in love with his step-sister. I'm surprised I haven't had a call from Satan congratulating me on how fucked up I am.

And now because of that comment, Suze won't look at me. Or speak to me, unless we're round the dinner table and she has to act as though nothing is wrong. I'm actually quite surprised she hasn't told my Dad, I know she would have mentioned it if Brad had said that to her, instead of me.

Maybe she thinks it's not worth it. I'm not worth it.

The rest of the week college was a blur, as usual. And as usual I kept dozing off in lectures, having the same, shockingly fantastic dream of Suze coming out of the sea. I thought I would become immune to that, but other areas of my body proved my brain wrong. It was getting worse, and by worse I mean I was starting to like her more and more. So much that I even had crazy urges to hide all of her clothes when she was in the shower. And I mean ALL of her clothes, which is a heck of a lot, believe me.

I think I have problems. I'm crazy. I would gladly hide all of my step-sister's clothes in order to have the possible chance of seeing her in just a towel.

Fuck, I'm getting a semi just thinking about it!

Suze's POV

"Cee please I need to sit down!" I groaned at her, as she ignored me, stuffing several possible dresses into my arms and gesturing for me to go and try them on. "I'm really tired and my feet are hurting because of my new shoes and I swear I can feel a blister growing- "

"Simon I have absolutely no sympathy for you whatsoever. Grow up. We're going to a party and we have to look hot. And I'm not going if you're not going, and you're not going if you don't have a dress so get trying them on!" CeeCee literally shrieked the last few words, and I got moving into a dressing room fast- I didn't want to cause a scene, let alone the embarrassment of having your best friend screaming at you in a swanky dress shop.

"Any good?" She called through the door. When I say swanky, I mean that this place was amazingly posh. I was surprised that they hadn't kicked me out due to my holey jeans, but they probably noticed CeeCee flashing her credit card around, so I guess we'd been let off.

Even these dressing room doors were upmarket. They were black, with swirly white patterns painted on, and the dressing rooms themselves were well decorated. They were so big, incorporating a sort of mini-catwalk, with mirrors all over the walls and ceiling, I guess so you could look down your cleavage.

And there was a reasonably sized puffy sofa in every changing room, probably so when you looked at your incredible reflection in the mirrors you had something where you could pass out on, due to how good you looked.

Or in my case, pass out in fright.

"Suze!" CeeCee thumped on the door, getting impatient. "Are any of them any good?" I looked down at the last one that I'd been trying to try on. Trying being the operative word.

"No. They make me look fat and retarded and its squishing my boobs!" I fiddled with the zipper, catching my finger as I struggled out of this stupid dress. "Ouch! Cee please can we just go and get a drink. To renew our energy? Please."

I heard her sighing, but she agreed. "Yeah ok, but only for ten minutes. Then we're launching into dress shopping again!"

"Fine."

I'd barely finished my smoothie before CeeCee dragged me out of the ShakeShed, my personal favourite store in the mall.

"Seriously Suze, we really need something to wear." She grimaced. I groaned, but knew she was right. It was the biggest party of the year, so far, and we needed something hot. So that when I walked down my stairs Jake would turn and realise it was me he wanted.

Ahem I mean Paul. Not Jake.

Damnit.

"Okay, I guess you're right Cee. But only if we can get you something slutty for Adam!" We both laughed, as she dragged me into a small boutique I hadn't noticed before.

"No Suze, something slutty for you and Paulie!" I wacked her, but missed, instead getting the male shop assistant.

The fit male shop assistant. Hey, just because I'm in love with my step-brother doesn't mean I don't notice other guys.

"Oops!" I blushed. "S-sorry." Stammering, I tried not to catch CeeCee's eye, I could tell from the way she'd turned her back on me and the fact that her shoulder's were shaking she was in hysterics.

"It's okay," He smiled. "So what were you looking for anyway? I heard something about wanting to 'impress' other men? Well let's see what we can do for you, come this way." He waved me to follow him, and I did, after sending a series of signals to CeeCee, who had finally turned back towards me.

"Here's a few dresses for you darling," the shop assistant handed me about four, and pointed out the dressing rooms to me. "Go and try them on, I'm sure you'll find something sexy to wear," he winked at me, before turning his attention to CeeCee.

I wasn't feeling very confident about the dresses, after all I didn't want to appear a slut, despite mine and Cee's jokes. I tried on three of the four dresses, to no such luck. They just didn't look right, and one was a weird orange colour, really not my thing.

However, as I pulled on the last, final dress, it seemed so perfect. True, it was red and I was going for a black dress, but I just didn't care. It was amazing. And red was sure to make me stand out. The only problem was it showed quite a lot of cleavage. As in some of the side of my breasts.

"Darling are there any that you like?" The shop assistant knocked on my door. Such a nice change from CeeCee's thumping.

"I'm not sure…" I called slowly, then unlooked the door so he could look. "What do you think?" I did a small twirl so he could see all of it, and heard someone gasp, Cee was looking out of her dressing room.

"Oh my God!" She squealed. "Suze that dress is awesome! Paul is going to have a FIT when he sees you in that. You're getting it aren't you? Please say you are. You look incredible."

I bit my lip, unsure and looked at the shop assistant for advice. He just nodded and smiled. "Definitely. You'll stun everyone in that little number. Seriously, get it." I looked over at my reflection once again.

And reached for my money. I'm not vain or anything, but I must say I looked good. More than good. Hot. Ohhh yeaah.

Hope you enjoyed it! More to come sooon, I'm being a very good girl updating so much aren't I? :)

If you click on my profile you'll find a couple of links that show what Suze's and CeeCee's dresses are like. I know I haven't described CeeCee's dress yet, but it's so you can get an idea of what they'll be wearing.
