Alex Rider yawned and stretched his tanned, muscly arms above his head as he sat slouched on a red velvety sofa in the corner of the room. He was at a party, with Tom Harris, his best mate, Tom had got an invite from someone who new someone, who new someone, that was friends with the guy having the party. Alex had just got back from a mission with MI6 and needed some time away from his double life, Tom being such a wonderful friend had practically dragged Alex out his front door, assuring him that a good party and some hot girls was just what the doctor ordered. Alex on the other hand wasn't so sure, loud wild partying wasn't his style, the music was so loud that he could barely hear himself think, and he wasn't in the mood, not to me...
"Hey dude" Tom was stumbling over to him, interrupting his thoughts, Tom was swaying his hips from side to side madly, trying very hard to keep in time with the music, which was putting him wildly off balance, crashing into everyone and everything as he made his way over to Alex, attached firmly to his side was a ditsy blonde wearing such a short and revealing pink dress that it would have been illegal in at least three countries. Tom saw him looking.
He winked at Alex and mouthed " Not bad aye"
Alex nodded and grinned at his drunken friend.
" why don't you come and dance mate, the ladies aren't half bad" Tom slurred as he planted a sloppy kiss on the blondes lips. He pulled away giggling childishly and then hiccupping twice.
"Nah no thanks mate, I'm ok at the moment" Alex said, he had just escaped the firm grasp of one of Tom's "ladies" who happened to be wearing even less than the ditsy blonde and practically poured herself onto him the minute he walked past.
"Well suit yourself, I'm off" Tom said excitedly as he dragged his blonde into the nearest bedroom and promptly closed the door .
Alex grimaced, he stood up looking around the room.
"I'm going to need something to drink, if I'm going to get through this in one piece" he thought.
Being extra careful to avoid the girl he had just ditched, he made his way through the crowd, and over to the ice bath, which was housing all the grog for the night.
Alex was rather tall, he had a wiry build but was reasonably strong and could hold him own quite comfortably, he had longish messy fair hair, that fell around his face loosely, he had sharp defined features, and gorgeous light blue eyes, that hardly ever gave anything away, which would have been expected for the kind of things Alex did. He was a spy for the British intelligence agency MI6, he had been on several missions already, but he didn't like it, they used him and had put the people he loved in terrible danger, which had hardened him on the inside in such a way that was irreversible, but he was careful to never let that show, he was shy, distant, and hard to get to know, but once you did it was worth it, underneath Alex was fun loving, passionate when he wanted to be, he had an odd sense of humour, but always managed to make people laugh, he had strong opinions but didn't like to make himself the centre of attention. It was this guy that girls found irresistible, he could get anyone he wanted, well so he was told. But Alex wasn't like that, he didn't go out with anyone and less he liked them, and the girls that had tried to get his attention, hadn't gotten it for the right reasons.
Tonight Alex was wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a dark green collared polo shirt that complimented his complexion nicely. He wasn't really looking for attention.
Alex pushed his way through the crowd, leant over the tub and pulled out an icy cold beer. Alex turned to walk away but as he did he bumped into a girl who promptly dropped the cruiser she was holding. Alex looked around quickly and came face to face with a girl about a head shorter than him, blonde curly hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes he had ever seen in his life. She was smiling at him sweetly as she bent down to pick up her spilt drink.
"Ss..sorry" he stammered
"Nah it's ok" she said, "I didn't like that one much anyway"
Sienna smiled nervously looking up at the gorgeous blonde guy in front of her, he smiled back and she instantly relaxed, he held out his hand,
"I'm Alex" he said and smiled again
"Sienna" she said back as she extended her own arm out to shake his out stretched hand
"Sienna" Addison yelled as she came bounding out of the crowd, cruiser in one hand, and James in the other.
"Over here" Sienna called back and waved to her friend, who instantly joined her and Alex.
"OOhh" she said to Sienna, referring to Alex with her eyebrows showing her approval, "who's this"
"Addison, this is Alex, Alex this is Addison" she said quietly desperately praying Addison wouldn't do anything to embarrassing to make this guy freak out and leave.
"Well kids" she said grinning, just then Addison gave an almighty shove and pushed both Alex and Sienna back onto a large couch directly behind them.
"OOf" Sienna said as she fell back onto the couch landing partly off the couch and partly on Alex's lap.
"Sorry" she said quickly standing up and a repositioning herself so she was actually sitting on the couch this time,
"Oh God" she thought "way to go Addison" Addison's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Bye Bye kiddies, be Good" she said with a cheeky grin plastered across her pretty face and with that the red head disappeared into the crowd, James followed and quickly shot them both a "sorry about that" look and went after her.
Sienna turned to Alex who was staring after Addison with a bemused look on his face.
"Is she always that straight forward about things" he laughed
"Yeah, that's Addison" She laughed back
Alex was desperately trying to think of something to say, but annoyingly the words seemed to have caught in his throat. Luckily she didn't seem so tongue tied because she looked at him, shot him another one of her dazzling smiles and politely said.
"So, how do you know James"
"Who?" Alex responded, a confused look spread across his serious face .
Sienna laughed "James Lesley..you know the one who's party your at"
A look of realisation spread across Alex's features
"Oh" she said laughing "Your one of those people who got invited by someone who knows someone..right"
"Yer, Alex said, I'm here with my mate Tom Harriss he invited me dunno how he got invited though" he said thoughtfully
"Tom Harriss" Sienna repeated " I don't think I know him"
"Ummmm" Alex scanned the room looking for Tom, then spotted him lying on a couch in the far corner of the room on top of his ditsy blonde, they had unfortunately for the rest of the party goers been kicked out of their room.
"There he is" Alex said frowning pointing across the room at Tom. "On top of that blonde chick in the partially undone pink dress"
Sienna laughed and looked at him with a bemused expression on her face.
"Dunno who the blonde is though" Alex added as an after thought.
"That's Cecilia" Sienna said rolling her eyes
"And that partially undone dress she's wearing, is not unusual for her...you know what I mean" Sienna said looking over at the blonde and frowning "She gets around"
"Oh, well I don't think Tom will mind" he responded smiling "he's too drunk too notice"
"Yer I gathered" Sienna said giggling as Tom Temporarily stopped making out with Cecilia to skull the remaining two thirds of his bear, belching loudly, and then returning to the task at hand
The conversation went smoothly from then on, with the topic changing from movies, to sport, to school, to many other things as the party started to disintegrate around them, people getting drunker, and gradually everyone started to drift out, except those who were to drunk, tired, or plane stupid and decided they would sleep right where they were. Alex and Sienna however were blissfully unaware, lost in their own little world.
Alex slung his arm protectively around Sienna's shoulders as a drunk fell over and landed on the couch beside her. She cringed as the drunk fell onto the floor snoring loudly. She turned around to face Alex who was staring intently into her eyes.
"What" she said smiling slightly
"You have nice eyes" he said seriously "Very intense"
From anyone else this would have annoyed Sienna, but Alex looked so honest, and it felt good hearing him say it.
"Thanks" she said shyly
Alex smiled at her and caressed her cheek gently with his fingers. Sienna's stomach jumped at his touch, it has to be the alcohol she thought, there is no way someone's touch can make me feel so... refreshed.
As Alex leant in, his stomach felt like it was being dominated by millions of crazy butterflies, no butterflies was an understatement, mutant frogs would be more like it, yes mutant frogs he decided.
Then he kissed her
