Author's note: Thanks again for the reviews and the follows. It makes it easier to write when I know people are actually reading it! Now back to Arya and as you may have noticed the timeline jumps back a bit when it comes to her POV. Don't worry it will catch up soon.

Arya

It was the day of the party and Margery had ordered her to go to her place to get ready. Being the loyal dog she was she simply said yes not bothering to argue.

Margery did her hair and make up choosing a bright red lipstick to smother over her lips.

"God I can't wait to see how everyone reacts to you" she chirped. "You've got such awesome lips and this colour will make guys want to bite them just like an apple" she laughed.

By the time they were done it was time to head to the party but before they left Margery brought over a bottle of tequila with some salt and lemon quarters.

"A toast to another wonderful year of being me and to my sexy little friend coming out of her shell" she winked at Arya.

Arya licked the salt off her hand and sculled the shot before sucking on the lemon. Her eyes were watering and her throat burned from the tequila but she continued to match Margery's pace.

When they got there she could feel everyone's eyes on her and could see people whispering to each other. Great this is going to be a fucking horrible night. It didn't get any better as she saw Gendry Baratheon standing there in nothing but his black Calvin Klein boxers. He was as hot as she remembered him being, all tanned and muscle. His raven coloured hair was shorter than it was the last time she saw him but his blue eyes were still as dazzling as she remembered. He was standing next to Theon Greyjoy, Robb her oldest brothers best friend. He still looked the same and she kind of felt sorry for him because standing next to Gendry made him look like a little kid.

She looked away, sure that her face was flushed a scarlet red and continued to follow Margery up onto a raised dance floor that was directly opposite to where Gendry and Theon were standing. Don't look at him, don't look at him, don't look at him she repeated to herself in her head.

A waiter with a mixture of drinks came over to them and Margery shoved a colourful cocktail in Arya's hand. She happily took a sip and continued to dance and drink ignoring her need to turn around and see Gendry one more time in his sexy black boxers.

"Oh my god, Gendry Baratheon and Theon Greyjoy have been checking you out all night Ar" Margery whispered in her ear.

"Don't be stupid Marge, they are my brothers best friends and I'm like a kid sister to them" she replied angrily. She didn't need to be filled with false hope especially by a drunk Margery who was insistent that everyone was checking her out even girls!

"Fine if you don't believe me have a look for yourself. Gendry has his hands strategically placed over his pants, most likely trying to cover the massive boner he has for you" she giggled.

How is this person older than me? – Arya thought and rolled her eyes.

Arya did a quick turn and slowly raised her eyes to where the boys were positioned. There she caught blue piercing eyes staring back at her grey ones. So maybe she is right – maybe Gendry really is checking her out. She couldn't help but smile and had the sudden urge to test Margery's theory herself. She leaned into Margery and whispered in her ear.

"I'm going to say hi to Gendry and Theon – and to take a better look at this supposed erection he has for me" she grinned.

She walked down from the stage and headed into the crowd. She could still see Gendry but he couldn't see her so she had the element of surprise. She paused for a moment when she saw Gendry walk right into Jon and spill his beer all over the floor. Jon didn't seem to upset by it all and she couldn't help but check out Gendry's arse as he bent down to help pick up the broken glass.

"Jon" she called out as she approached the pair and he scooped her into his arms in a big bear hug.

"Wow Ar…you look…ummm…nice"

"Thanks bro…I think what you really mean is…wow Ar…you're half naked" she smiled.

She turned to face Gendry and just as she was about to say hello he bolted into the crowd. "He looks like he is in a hurry to go somewhere" she stated.

"Yea he was heading to the toilet before he bumped into me – probably needs to piss bad" Jon replied.

She stood there for what felt like ages talking to Jon and Theon. She was never the biggest fan of Theon because of the way he talked about women. She never knew why Robb liked him so much – he was so arrogant and thought he was Gods gift to women. She knew he was trying to flirt with her but she ignored his advances and pretended not to notice the way his eyes would roam over her body. To her relief Gendry finally arrived back with two beers and a coke in hand. He gave one to Jon as an apology for spilling his last one which she thought was cute, then handed her the coke which surprised her further. Theon wasn't impressed though and was genuinely shocked that Gendry didn't bother getting him one. She laughed at his reply and tried to diffuse the situation by saying hello to Gendry.

His bright blue eyes bore into her own and she could feel a heat flair up in her stomach and slowly make its way down to her sex. She couldn't help but flicker her eyes down to his crotch and she could tell that he would be huge. Although Arya was still a virgin it didn't mean she didn't want to do things. It just didn't feel right with any of the guys she dated. But if Gendry had been willing she would happily lose her virginity to him. She wanted so much to rake her nails across his chiselled abs and kiss her way down to his member. At this rate her panties would be soaked through. He walked over to her and gave her an awkward hug, like he didn't want her too close to him. They had a brief chat before she was dragged away by Margery.

Margery pulled her through a sea of half naked people until she came face to face or rather face to chest with a ripped blonde haired man with what looked like violet eyes. He was handsome and although he wasn't as muscular as Gendry he still had an incredible body and the way he was looking at her made Arya feel bare. She noticed the way he looked her up and down and saw how he licked his lips. His violet eyes had darkened with desire and he looked like he was ready to push her up against a wall and begin fucking her.

"It's lovely to meet you Arya Stark" he announced as he took her hand and kissed it.

"I'm Aegon Targaryen and I've heard a lot about you" he continued. This man seemed so infatuated with her that it made Arya feel uneasy. She soon felt calloused hands grab her from behind and felt warm breath up against her ear.

Gendry had come up from behind her and asked her if she wanted him to take her away from Aegon. All she could do was nod but she didn't want to be rude so made up a lie about how they had something really important to talk about. She began pulling him through the crowd and they ended up in a dark corner of the room that happened to be clear of people. Her heart was racing and she felt the heat in her pants flair up again. I just want to jump him now.

She started flirting with him hoping he would take the hint and just kiss her already but as soon as he said:

"Well umm…yea of course I was – your Jon's little sister and he told me to keep an eye on you tonight. He didn't want any creeps trying anything on you"

Everything came crashing down. She practically ran to the toilet, immediately locking herself in the nearest cubicle and flipping the toilet seat down so she could take a seat. She replayed the last half an hour in her head and cringed at her stupidity of ever thinking he would be interested in her.

Stupid, stupid, stupid she screamed at herself. Of course he only sees you as 'Jon's little sister' because that's all you are. He is way out of your league and will never see you as anything more than that.

She got out of the cubicle and looked at herself in the mirror. The sexy and bold Arya was now back to being self conscious and shy Arya. When it came to sports and school she never had to worry, but when it came to anything 'girly' she was an absolute mess. Yes she had boyfriends in the past but this was Gendry and he was turning her into some stupid twat who didn't know what she was doing. Just go out there and pretend none of that shit happened. Find an excuse to go back to Aegon and forget all about Gendry Baratheon. She made her way back to Gendry who was leaning up against the wall still looking as sexy as fuck. She noticed him waving off a couple of girls that tried to talk to him – they were pretty and hardly wearing anything so she thought that was strange. If he didn't think they were hot then she really didn't stand a chance. She walked up towards him and noticed that he quickly straightened himself up. That doesn't mean anything don't go getting any ideas.

She pushed the hood from her cardi off her head so she could cool down and began peeling off the white gloves she had on as well so her hands could breathe. She looked down at what she was wearing trying to figure out where to put them. She decided to slip them into the side of her panties and slowly raised the strap and tucked the gloves in. when she looked up she could see Gendry watching her carefully and noticed that the colour of his eyes had darkened.

"No pockets" she shrugged and walked up and leaned against the wall. Gendry was still watching her and she was finding it very difficult to think about Aegon when he was looking at her like that. He slowly walked to where she was and leaned back against the wall as well but as he did his hand brushed up against her and a shock of electricity went surging through both their bodies.
