My jaw dropped when I saw what I had just accidentaly walked into. I saw Alice, without a shirt in her room. I started a hasty retreat saying, "I am so sorry. I only saw a bit, i mean, i saw nothing. Yeah. Nothing at all." She just continued staring at me with that dumbstruck expression on her face. I shut the door and turned around, breathing heavily.
"You so did that on purpose," a singsong voice said from the staircase.
"Shut up Emmett, I so did not. Why would I?"
"Well, duhh. You obviously like her," replied Emmett.
"I do not! I dont like Ali--"
At that moment, the door opened and I was face to face with Alice, whose face was as red as a tomato.
"Uhm, you can come in now," she said in a low voice.
"Ohh. Okay." I saw Emmett jumping up and down and mouthing, "You like her, you like her" over and over. When I got inside, I heard Alice's voice,
"Is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"That you dont like me?" she said in a very timid voice.
"Huh? What?? No. Yes. I mean, I kinda like you. A bit." my face turning the same shade of red as hers.
"Oh. Okay. Anyway, why dont you start tutoring me?"
"Yeah, that would be good." I made my way to sit with her on her couch. When I sat down, she moved closer to me and I couldn't help noticing how soft and smooth her skin felt against mine. I felt an insane urge to kiss her right there and then.
'Today is going to be a long day...'
