"Bloody hell, what are you doing in there ? Shaving your balls or something ?" I huffed.
The door clicked open.
"Now that really would be ridiculous . We don't all have your problems. Love ya sis."
I rolled my eyes at him.
My brother, , was the biggest idiot i'd ever met in my life.
We got on perfectly well. We were so close it was just silly. We were more like best friends than brother and sister.
He was the only person that i trusted with my life, and the only person that i told anything and everything to.
Likewise, he did the same.
We had a few little arguments, like when he'd take a horrendous amount of time in the bathroom every morning.
But it was never anything major at all.
Once i'd finished in the bathroom i jogged down the stairs, skipping the last few as i always did, jumping it instead of jogging it.
"You're a pig." I complained, as sipped the milk from the bowl and burped loudly as i entered the room.
He blew in my direction.
"You love it." He winked, getting up and placing his bowl in the sink. "Ummm ... I hope you're not just planning on leaving that there."
"Oi you, this is my flat. And i'm the one that's letting you live here. RENT FREE. I really do think that me making you wash up one little bowl isn't too much to ask now is it ?" replied, sticking his tongue out at me.
I sighed.
"Ahhh, okk. But i told you, you can't use that excuse EVERY DAY !"
He poked his tongue out at me again and started walking towards the door.
"So, you want a lift or are you training it into college ?"
"AHA. Lift please. As if i'm paying train fare when i've got a perfectly good taxi here." I grinned as i pushed him out the front door and into his car.
"Eurgggh. First day back. SUCKS MAN."
"Heeeyyyy ! I know it is pretty awful. How was your holiday then ?" asked his mate as they sat down and waited for their tutor to arrive.
"Well, more importantly, how were the girls ?" Their friend joined in.
"Well, it was pretty poor out there man. I mean, there's just far better looking girls at colleg...I'm sorry i can't do it. The girls were AMAZING. I honestly mean, like UNREAL. Ahhh, it was just pure heaven. You guys so have to come with sometime. You'll love it. I got with 14 different woman. One for every day of the two weeks i was there." enthused.
and looked on, eyes focusing on as they continued to listen to him babble on about the hot chicks.
"Good morning class. Welcome back, i hope you all had a pleasant break."
smirked at his tutor's comment.
"But, you're back now. And i hope you're all preparing for your A levels this year.
The whole classroom was filled with ongoing moans and sighs of dissapointment.
"Alright, that's enough. Now, before i begin with all the notices, i'd like to introduce you to . He's just transferred here from another college. I hope that you'll all be very helpul and welcoming to him. You know it's not easy being the new kid." Their tutor continued, slapping this awkward and embarassed looking boy on the back.
"Now, let me see. AHHH, Mr. . You have a seat next to you. Therefore you will be 's buddy. Help him around, take him to his classes and stuff please ? Now then, we have an assembly at Ten this morning and you wi..." Their tutor continued to ramble on as took his seat next to at the back.
"Hey man. I'm . And this is and ." greeted him with a smile.
"I'm ." He replied, returning the smile.
"Ohhh dude, you shit out here. We have the WORST tutor ever. He honestly never stops talking, he's such a dick. But don't worry, it's cool. It just means he always rambles through the half an hour and we always get out of doing the work." joined in the conversation.
"You think that's bad ? At my old college, my tutor there had tourettes. And she kept twitching and saying random things half way through a sentence. None of us understood ANYTHING she was saying. It was all complete bullshit. So at least this guy can talk for half an hour, and i'll understand it." laughed.
The other boys laughed along with him.
"Haha, awww matee, that sounds quality. Any chance you can take us to your old college sometime ? I so HAVE to see her !" chuckled along.
"I'll try my best." replied, still laughing.
" r ?"
I looked up and nodded.
"Yes. Right. I think i'll put you next to ummm ... let me think ... ."
I looked over to where my new tutor was looking.
I followed her gaze and sat next to a ish, , pale looking girl.
"Hi." I started.
"Heyaa. I'm so nervous. First day and all that, so i'm just going to apologise now if i make a complete idiot out of myself."
I smiled at her.
"It's nice to know i'm not the only nervous one here. I'm ."
" ." She smiled back at me.
"Ok, that's the seating plan sorted. Now, what else. Oh right, yeah ... Welcome to College ! I'm your tutor, Jane. We'll have two half an hour sessions a week, but you can always find me in my office if you need any help. This year will all be a bit new to you, but don't worry the year 2 students are all lovely. They fit in brilliantly last year and i have every confidence in you lot doing so this year too. So, the AS course will consist of exams in January and May. And, Oh Goodness, look at the time already. Follow me, we've got a welcome assembley to go to."
I sighed. was right, college did suck. And my tutor seemed like a tit. She was reading everything off a card for starters ! =/
"OI !" I turned my head, as i heard my name being shouted through the canteen.
I looked up the stairs to these gorgeous, realllly comfortable looking leather sofas, where i noticed looking down at me, signalling for me to come upstairs.
"Who's that ?" asked me.
"That's my brother. He's a second year. Don't worry, he's really cool. Fancy coming up with me for a chat ?" I replied to her. I had most of my lessons with her, and discovered that we both didn't trust boys too easily. However, i did know that was really shy around boys too. I was sure i could change that with time though.
"Hi , Hi ." I smiled at them as they distracted themselves for a few seconds to notice me. They were busy watching some music video on the television.
"You ok ? How's your day been so far ?" asked me.
"It's been fine. My tutor seems to be a bit of a pleb, but apart from that it's been ok thanks. OHHH, wait. Shit, sorry. , this is my friend . , this is my brother ." I rushed, suddenly remembering her.
"Heyyy, hows it going ?" smiled at her.
"Um. Ok." blushed and managed to say just those two words.
glanced at me, eyebrows raised. I just rolled my eyes back at him and sat down on one of the sofa's, next to .
It took me a few seconds to realise there was someone situated on the other side of me.
"Oh right. . This is . He's the new boy. , this is my little sister, ." did the introductions.
"Heyaaa." I smiled at him.
"Hey. I'm just wondering how long i'll be referred to as the new boy ?" He asked, returning the smile.
I laughed.
"Probably forever knowing these guys. You'll never live it down. I'm known as 's 'Baby' sister, even though there's only a year between us."
"So, if i found someone else and brought them into this group, would i be in with a chance of not being the new boy anymore ?"
I laughed again.
"Possibly. But they may just continue to call you the new boy if they realise it annoys you. Their horrible like that." I teased.
"Oii you. Mate, don't listen to her. We're lovely people, honestly." said, stretching over and prodding me.
I turned around as i felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Hi, umm, . Lessons start in 5 minutes. Shouldn't we get going ? We don't want to be late on our first day." said lightly.
I could hear and the guys laughing quietly behind me.
I wasn't particularly very punctual. But it was my first day and i didn't want to upset or anything so i sighed and then smiled at her.
"Ohh, right sure. Let's go then. See you later guys." I said, as i turned back to the guys.
waved.
Then him, and started to talk about .
It annoyed me.
They weren't even being subtle about it, and could blatently hear what they were saying.
I turned around to give the finger when my glance converted to .
He was just sat there, watching me walk off with .
He wasn't laughing, he wasn't smirking, he wasn't joining in with their hurtful chat.
He was just sat there, eyes fixed on me.
There was something different about him.
Something rather lovely.
"Ahhh, i'm so glad that's over with. I'm sick of college and it's only the first day." I complained as me and started to make our way off the college grounds.
"Yeah. I really can't see myself passing any of these exams, i had no idea what the teachers were talking about. Oh gosh, my parents are going to flip when i do badly! rambled on. "Yeah. Same. So how are you getting home then ?" I subtly changed the subject.
"Walking. I only live just down the road from here. You ?"
"I'm suppossed to be getting a lift with but i have no idea where he is. What a bastar..."
"BOOOOO !"
"AHHHHH !" I screamed as someone pushed me fowards, shouting and interrupting my ' 's a prick' speech.
"What was that sis ?"
I realised it was .
He had a habit of catching me half way through these speech's bad mouthing him.
"You're such a dick." I sulked, but smiled quickly after.
He smiled back.
"Hey ummm ... was it ? Want a lift home ?"
"Oh no. I only live down the road." She announced, in a mono-tone.
I looked at her. She was pulling on a loose thread on her dull, mumsy style cardigan, clearly uncomfortable talking to .
She was so different to me, it was strange.
I'm not the most confident, pretty or popular girl, but i can talk to both gender's in the same way, and i get on with most people.
I'd made friends in every single class that i wasn't with in, and from what i gathered, she had made none.
I knew I wouldn't hear the end of 's sniggering about her once we got home.
"Oh right. Cool. ... YO GUYS. It's fine. You can all have a lift. Get in." bellowed across to , and , who were stood near some tree a short distance away.
It irritated me that clearly had no interest in giving a lift, he just saw her with me and realised he had to ask her.
I watched as the four boys all started to make their way towards 's car.
"I'll see you tomorrow. Text me when you get home ok ? Byee." I smiled sweetly at . I felt so bad for her.
"Hey . We've all squashed up in the back so you can have the front seat. Aren't we lovely ?" asked as i silently sat myself down in the passengers seat.
"Really lovely. Thanks." I replied, staring at my nails as i picked at them.
I noticed staring at me for a few seconds, before looking down, and then starting the car.
I could feel the tension between me and the whole way home.
, and were chatting away happily, whilst me and remained silent.
"It's isn't it ? I've done something wrong haven't I ? , we were only joking. I'm sure she's a lovely girl, really." started, the moment we got into his flat.
I sighed.
"She IS a lovely girl . I just wish you'd give her a chance. Yes, she's a little different. You don't have to be so harsh about it. Maybe she's acting the way she is around you, because inside she's laughing about you, and she's restricting herself around you so she doesn't laugh in your face. Because i'll tell you this now, you aint all that Mr. ."
"Geeez . Alright, i'll keep it down and try. I'm giving her a chance ok. But only for you. And i'm NEARLY all that, you can't deny that."
I wanted to stay mad at him so bad but i really couldn't help but grin at him.
"Yeaaah, shame your 2 inch penis is what's letting you down." I playfully pushed him.
He pushed me back and laughed along with me, before pulling me into a hug.
This was always my favourite part of our silly little arguments.
A big old cuddle from my big bro could complete me.
"Hey . Hey ." beamed, as we made our way up the stairs towards those beauts of chairs.
"Heyaaa." I smiled back at him. He hadn't forgotton. He was trying. I couldn't ask for more.
"Hi." She replied simply.
I smiled and shook my head.
I watched as i saw racking his mind, trying to think of something to say to her.
"Oh yeah, . Are you coming to this party with on Saturday ?" He suddenly came out with.
I looked at him confused, and noticed that had the same expression on her face too.
"Party ? What. I don't know anything about it. But ummm, no actually, I can't." She replied.
"Ohhh. Well if you could come, it would be pretty cool of you to be there." He left it at that as he returned to the boys and joined them in watching the music videos on the tv.
I spent the rest of that day trying to persuade to come to the party.
I told her that i'd stay with her at all times, and that i wouldn't get drunk if that would annoy her, and that she didn't have to drink if she didn't want to, and that she could stay at mine afterwards, and that if she really didn't like it we'd just go home and leave early. EVENTUALLY, she caved.
"OK. I'm sick of trying to think up any more excuses. But you better keep to your word then yes ?"
I nodded excidtedly.
"Oh . I really don't think this is a good idea. I mean, what on earth am i even going to wear ? It was such a ridiculous idea. I mean, i'm . I can't go to a party. What was i thinking ?" I listened as she babbled on, trying to talk herself out of it.
"Oh be quiet you. Here, try this on." I suggested, passing her an extremely small black dress.
She shook her head violently.
"NEVER." She protested.
I laughed at the reaction i was expecting.
"You. Dress. Change. Now." I demanded, handing her the dress.
A few minutes later she looked at herself in the mirror.
"What ? I. Umm. I mean. I look. Ah."
"You look bloody good ." I finished for her, as she struggled to recognise herself in the mirror.
I threw a few items of clothing around my room, deciding on a simple pair of white hotpants, and a pretty top with maximum clevage.
After an hour of doing 's hair and make up, and my own, we were finally ready.
"Oh God. Put 'em away . Every fucking party. And then you complain when boys just use you." tutted, as he watched me walking down the stairs.
He was a typical older brother.
Extremely protective of me, and he hated the way i dressed on nights out, and the stupid things i got up to when drunk.
"Shit man. Look." exclaimed, pointing to the top of the stairs.
nervously walked down the stairs.
Her make up applied perfectly, her hair curled perfectly, and the dress complementing her perfectly.
" . ?" gulped, his eyes fixed on her.
"Hi." She smiled nervously, rubbing her elbow.
"Right. Can we go then ?" I replied. I was so happy with my work. I was practically dancing with pride inside.
"Oh. Yeah. Right." managed, taking one last look and walking towards the car.
" . I think im beginning to become a little drunk." shouted over the loud music.
I smiled at her.
She'd never been drunk before, and clearly she was a little bit of a lightweight.
"Well, you can stop if you want. We could go home ?" I replied.
"WHAAT ? No way ! I'm having far too much fun to leave. Honestly , i want to get sooo drunk i can't remember a thing in the morning."
"Ok then." I replied, handing her another bottle.
She walked off, clutching the bottle close to her.
Feeling a little hot, i wandered outside.
It was a house party, and the garden was absolutely gorgeous.
I sat myself down on the little brick wall that surrounded the patio and took in all the features as the garden gleamed under the stars.
I turned my head as i heard someone close the door.
"Heyyy." I smiled, looking up to be met by .
"Hi." He replied simply.
"Whats up ? You sound a little upset." My face crinkled with concern.
"I'm just really missing my old college and my old mates and my old hometown and house and stuff. It's just a little homesickness, i feel a bit silly.
I noticed he looked a little embarassed.
"Babee, honestly, don't feel silly.I can't even stay at a mates house without feeling homesick, you're doing so well. It's only natural. Im here for you ok ?" I eased, smiling at him encouragingly.
He smiled back.
"You ok then ?"
"I think so. Thank you. And, i'm sorry for making an idiot out of myself." He apologised.
"Now you are being silly." I laughed.
"Come here." I finished, opening my arms.
He leaned in and wrapped his arms around me.
I let my chin rest on his shoulder, as both of our hands rubbed each others backs up and down.
I smiled, feeling content. I was so comfortable i just didn't want to let go.
I heard him sniff and pulled away a little to look at him.
A few stray tears were trickling down his face.
I felt my heart break right there.
It was horrible seeing him upset.
"Ohhh, babee." I leaned back into the hug, squeezing him hard.
One of my hands raised to the back of his head and softly started to stroke his hair.
"Thank you so much ." He managed, about five minutes later.
I pulled away from the embrace and smiled at him warmly.
"Any time. And i mean that. Just give me a text or something ok ?" I squeezed his hand and smiled, looking into his eyes.
He smiled back, his big eyes still watery.
" OUT HERE !" We heard shouts, followed by rushing footsteps, and then the sound of throwing up.
"Oh, God, . I feel so bad. Don't leave me. Just stay here please. I don't want , i want you." I heard mumbling, and then returning to being sick.
"Ok, if that's what you want." He replied, pulling her hair away from her face.
"Ohhh. Nooo."
"Hey piss'ead. Feeling bad ? Serves you right." I giggled, walking into my bedroom clutching a glass of water.
"I just. Eurgggh. I feel horrible. But ahhh, , i did it. I got drunk and it was so much fun. Despite being sick." replied, rubbing her eyes.
"Yeaaah, AND, you got with my brother last night." I winked at her.
"I did what ?"
"Don't worry, it was only a pull."
"Gawddddd. I don't remember that AT ALL." She complained, now rubbing her head.
"Well you wouldn't. Now, get your bum downstairs. I'm cooking breakfast."
"Owww. Morning sis." grumbled as he entered the kitchen, heading straight to the paracetemol.
"Hows the head ?"
He shot me an evil look, making me laugh.
"That good hmmm ? Don't worry, i'm making you all a lovely greasy fry up. That's meant to be good for hangovers." I replied.
"Love you." He muttered into the table as his head dropped there.
"What's cooking, good looking ?" asked, taking a seat at the table.
"Ummm, grease on a plate ?"
"Sounds good to me." He smiled.
, and eventually joined them just as I started to dish up. "Hmmm, thanks . It's really great. I'm feeling much better already. Any chance of a cheeky bit of seconds ?" asked, whilst happily munching on his breakfast.
"Yeaaah you can have mine. You're in need of it more than i am. You lot were wrecked last night you tards." I laughed, sliding my food onto 's plate.
"Well, that's not true. I wasn't. Let's not generalise here now ."
I laughed at 's comment.
"Ok, ok. MOST of you were all wrecked last night." I corrected myself.
"Matee. We weren't that bad. It was and who were the worst. And did you see them together. Cooor, they were really going for it. I thought his tongue was actually lost in her mouth or summink. They were like locked at the lips for about an hour." scoffed, spitting bits of food around the place.
I pulled a face.
I didn't know what was more disgusting;
's lack of manners, or the image of my brother and friend getting off with each other.
"Oh shut it you guys." spoke for both him and , as they both blushed furiously.
"Eurggh, GAAY !" I sighed, looking outside at the weather.
It was a saturday, was out, and i was stuck inside and it looked like i would be all day as it was pouring with rain outside.
My gaze out of the window was interrupted as there was a knock on the door.
I jogged down the stairs, skipping the last few stairs as usual and opened the door.
I looked around but couldn't see anyone.
Feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket i quickly whipped it out and read 'Check your doorstep !'.
I looked down towards my doorstep and noticed a tiny box sat there.
I frowned, confused, taking a quick look around my surroundings, but not finding anyone there that could have left the package.
I closed the door and wandered back upstairs, flopping backwards onto my bed.
I opened the box and quickly became distracted by a piece of paper.
On it, i read the scribbles that said;
You're the closest thing i have to a best friend here. Thank you for making me smile again. xxx.
Then i opened the box, more fuller this time, and took out a ring, with a simple jewel in the middle.
I looked inside the band and read the word 'Bestie'.
Placing the beautiful ring on my finger i beamed.
That boy's just a bit special.
"So, . What do you think i should do then ? I mean, was it just a drunkern kiss, or does he really like me ? Ohhh blimey. I've only ever had one boyfriend, and you know that turned out pretty shitty and put me off boys. I really need your help. You know what to do." My ears were filled with 's very own ' babble'.
"What do you mean by that ? That i'm some kind of slag or summink ? AND, since when did you start swearing ?"
"Nooo, of course i didn't mean that. It's just, you're a natural with boys. And you understand them and what their thinking. I'm completely useless. If anyone can help me, it's you. And, i dunno. I think it's just from me hanging around with you lot. Picking up bad habits and all that shit." She replied quickly, clearly still hyped up about my brother.
I smiled weakly.
I was all up for helping a mate out, but i just couldn't be bothered to hear her ramble on about all day. Because that was all she seemed to do now. She was like obsessed with him. And i know that i wanted those two to get on, but i wish they'd just get on quietly.
"I'm going to buy some dins. You can go straight up there with the guys if you don't want to wait in this queue." I suggested, looking at the line of people that was at least 20 students long.
"Sounds good. GAH i hate queues." She moaned, and then smiled, obviously seeing up the stairs.
Every day i was noticing new changes in her;
Her confidence with all of the guys was pretty high now. She was never nervous around them, and she could talk to them about different things for ages. She didn't mind being alone with them, i didn't HAVE to be there all the time. And her appearance was changing now. She was beginning to make an effort. I'd given her some of my old make-up for her to experiment with, and a few pairs of shorts and skinny jeans. We were suppossed to be going shopping this weekend, but i wasn't looking foward to it as much now if all she was going to talk about was .
I looked down as i felt myself gently rubbing the ring that was placed on my finger.
I smiled.
A few minutes later i walked up the stairs to be met by and grinning madly at each other, hugging.
I didn't know how felt about her, but he wasn't usually like this with girls when he was around the boys, so i was guessing he was into her.
He didn't even acknowledge my presence as i walked past him, he was too engrosed in .
I sighed, feeling like I was second best.
Well, i clearly wasn't even that if he hadn't realised I was around.
Plonking myself down on one of those sofa's, i took a small bite of my tuna and cheese pannini and stared blankly at a spot of nothing infront of me.
I was distracted from my pointless gaze as someone leaned in closer to me.
" ! What are you doing ?" I shouted, and then errupted in a fit of laughter as he wiped some cheese from around his mouth.
"I was hungry." He shrugged, laughing along with me.
"You're a tit." I replied, but i broke him off half of the pannini anyway.
"Thankss babee." He smiled, and then munched his way through my lunch.
"Ahhh . Any chance i could chav a bit ?"
"Ohhh. And me !" and chirped, as they realised what was eating.
"Yeaaah ok. I had a huge breakfast this morning anyway." I lied. I'd only had honey nut cornflakes, but their faces dropped.
They were pretty much in love with my fry up's. I didn't even cook them that much, but i think they just imagined i cooked them every morning for me and .
" . When did you get up here ?" 's attention finally fell on me.
"About five minutes ago." I replied. It was clear i was annoyed with him, but i knew we'd have a talk later.
"I didn't notice you."
"Well you wouldn't would you. I'm not ." It kinda just rolled off my tongue, i didn't give myself enough time to think and process what i was saying. I knew it sounded extremely jealous. I immediately regretted saying it.
I watched as his eyes suddenly looked up.
I could see a mixture of confusion, rage and hurt in them.
My heart ached.
One thing i couldn't stand to do was hurt him.
He was the most important person in my life, i hated upsetting him.
"Oh." Was all he could manage, before walking off quickly.
"Fuck." I sighed.
I pulled my hood up, over my head as the wind blew furiously.
My hands were a trembling mess as i tried to rub the ring once more.
"Hey."
I looked up into a smiling face.
"Hi." I stuttered, as a few tears streaked my cheeks.
"You know that ring i gave you has magic powers ?" said, taking his place next to me on the bench.
"Hows that ?" I lamely replied.
"Well, you were rubbing it, and here i am."
"So you're my genie in a bottle ?"
"Baha. Well yes. Just without the dodgy outfit and the stupidly tiny bottle. Could you imagine me trying to squeeze into a bottle. Actually, i thought genie's always came out of lamps, it's just like that silly song that's planted that image in my head. Ohhh dearrr, i am just so confused.".
I laughed through the tears at his ramblings.
He smiled at me, searching for my eyes, but they were looking down at the ring.
"You and are going to be fine, you do realise that don't you ?" He soothed.
I bit back the tears as i pictured the look in his eyes that i'd caused earlier that day.
"And you're sure of this how ?" I asked, as more tears fell.
"I just know. And that's all you need." He assured me, sliding along closer to me and wiping away my tears.
The tears began to fall more fluently as he did so.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"Now you are being silly." He smiled, repeating my words from the party.
"Come here."
I dived into his chest, sobbing continuously as he squeezed me and stroked my hair.
I felt ridiculous, getting so worked up about .
We hadn't even had a fight. I just knew that he was hurting, and it was all my fault.
"Right, come on you. You're going home to sort this mess out." stated, once i'd calmed down a little bit.
With that, he stood up and pulled me up, off the bench.
Taking my hand, we walked side by side back to mine.
I took a deep breath as i closed the door behind me.
I leant against it for a few seconds, gathering myself together, before nodding my head and walking upstairs.
I walked straight into his room, jumping as he was stood right in the doorway.
" I..."
"Please don't say anything." He interrupted me with nothing more than a whisper.
He took one step fowards towards me, and hugged me, squeezing tighter than he'd ever done before.
"Don't ever think you're anything less than number one . Because that will NEVER change." He managed, pulling away from the hug.
I took his hand and squeezed it hard.
"I'm so lucky to have you." I sobbed.
We stayed up that night, talking through everything.
He admitted he does like , but he didn't want anything to ever come between me and him, so he wouldn't make anything come of it. Which i then told him was completely ridiculous. He made her so happy. And she made him so happy. And i would hate to get in the way of that.
I apologised far too many times for upsetting him earlier and what i had said.
And then he looked down at the ring that was placed on my finger and nodded.
"I know that you and will be perfect together. And i want you to remember this moment, because i've known from day one."
After that, he got up and left me in his bedroom, with nothing to think about apart from his last words.
I woke up the next day in 's bed.
"Shitt." I complained, as i realised it was almost one in the afternoon.
I walked downstairs into the kitchen.
Sitting down with my cup of tea and a bowl of honey nut cornflakes i noticed a note on the table.
"Afternoon lazy bum ! I'm sure it really is afternoon by now. Anyways, just thought i'd give you a little read whilst you munch on your honey nut conflakes and drink one of those bloody cups of tea. I mean, honestly, you're just addicted to the drink. I'm really so sorry about yesterday and me upsetting you, and you don't have to apologise to me. It's cool. I know you're sorry. Not that you need to be. It wouldn't have happened if i hadn't been such a tit. It's just i really like her. And i've told you now. But nothing's going to happen, i doubt she even likes me in that way really. I mean, like you said, i'm not all that. Oh well, i'll see you when i get back from college. AH, and, i taped Jermemy Kyle for you ! Me love you long time, haha xxxxxxxxx." I smiled. He was just the best brother in the world.
That friday everyone had invited themselves round our's.
I stayed in my room, suffering from period pains.
I was flicking through a magazine when the vibration of my phone distracted me.
'Are you not coming down tonight ? :(" It was from .
'I'm not feeling too great. Girl problems.' I replied.
Less than a minute later he replied; 'Ohhh right. The old 'Time of the month' again then eh ? I think you should come down. Just for five minutes. I miss you.'
I smiled. He was such a tit. He'd seen me a few hours earlier at college. He was pretty adorable though.
I quickly straightened my hair and re-applied my fading make up and then made my way downstairs.
"Oh God. LOOK AT IT !" wailed in mock disgust.
We all laughed.
I perched on the armrest of the sofa, my feet on 's lap.
"Feeling any better ?" asked.
"Not particularly. But i didn't think i'd feel any better upstairs than i do down here, so i thought i'd come down for a bit.
I could feel smiling next to me.
"Any chance you'll be feeling a little better for our little shopping trip tomorrow ?" asked.
I looked at her sat contently on 's lap and smiled.
"I'm sure i'll be fine."
Everyone stayed until gone midnight. I remained downstairs until they left.
I gave them all a quick hug goodbye, except for .
We hugged for a few seconds longer, harder and closer.
"Text me ?" He whispered into my ear.
'Thanks for coming down. I miss you now though.' He started the texting.
'It's been five minutes. How can you miss me ?'
'You're a very missable person , it's not my fault.'
'I think you're a bit of a tit. But then i guess you're a very tittable person lol.'
'Lol. I wish i could be with you now, watching you smile.'
'Awww, you're sweet. You only have to wait two days until college on monday.'
'Would you be up for coming round mine on sunday ? My mum cooks a proper sunday roast. You'd love it.'
'That sounds good. I'll get to drop me round. See you then mister. Night night. Love you xxx.'
'Night mrs. Love you too xxxxxx.'
" , helppppp meee. Which one makes me look sexiest in ?" whinged, holding two different outfits up against her.
"Both. You should get both. You need a whole new wardrobe my lovely. And some new underwear." I noted, looking at her plain white cotton granny pants and white sports bra.
"Oh yes, i forgot about that. I mean, would run a mile when he saw i don't wear pretty pink bras, and lacy underwear. Gawwdddd, help me . I need something sexy for sexytime later."
I shuddered, not quite sure if it was because she was talking about having sex with my brother, or using the word sexytime. It was a word that me and used all the time as a bit of a joke. Like, when we saw a bald teacher at college he'd be like 'Cooor, . I bet you wouldn't mind a bit of sexytime with that.'
"You and are having sex then ?" I asked, not sure why i'd even asked the question in the first place. It wasn't something i'd like to think about.
"Well, no, not yet. It hasn't been long has it. Well, do you think we should be by now ? Would you have done it by now ?"
"Ohhh, . Please. Just no. That's disgusting." I complained, feeling physically sick by the way she had worded that last sentence.
I picked up a red chequed shirt and tried it on.
It looked good, but it was simple.
"Why are you buying that ? You have so many amazing clothes, it's not like you need any new one's ."
"I'm wearing it to 's tomorrow." I replied.
" 's. Oh wow. Are you two together yet ? Are you going to wear lacy underwear to his. I bet all he'll be thinking about tomorrow is ripping that shirt off you. Wow you're gonna have a grea..."
"Seriously , wtf is wrong with you ? You'll learn that sex isn't even that great. In fact, you'll probably be more dissapointed than anything when it finally happens for you. And don't talk about like that. He isn't like most boys. Just leave it out ok ?" I exploded. I'd built up all of her whinging and moaning and rambling from the past week and let it go right there and then in the changing rooms.
She was quiet after that. I think i upset her a little bit, but the change in her was really getting too much for me.
She was now saying and doing things that i do, and she had this obsession with sex that was irritating because she was so open about it. In some ways, i couldn't wait for to finally get it over and done with and just fuck her, because i knew she'd shut up about it when she realised it isn't as amazing as she had it worked out to be.
I went straight upstairs when we got home.
came back with me, nagging me to see .
As i changed into some old joggers and a hoody i heard her complain about me downstairs.
"She was really distant today, and she got into such a fuss because i was talking about ripping this new top off her tomorrow, before having mad, passionate sex."
"What the ? Why would do that ? He's not like that at all. And mad, passionate sex ? It's not really like that you know."
I smiled as i heard 's reply.
She trailed off then, obviously embarassed, and i heard the door close a few minutes later.
opened my bedroom door, and smiled as i pretended to sleep.
"Don't try and pull that one on me . I know you've just been listening to that downstairs. And i know that you can't sleep with the light on." He laughed, switching the light out.
"Night sis."
"Love you." I turned my head towards him and smiled.
He smiled back and then closed the door.
I was once again rubbing the ring on my finger as i waited shakily at the doorstep.
"Hello you. I didn't think you'd actually come. So you'll have to share my food i'm afraid."
I laughed at .
"Tit. Are you going to let me in then ?"
He stepped aside and i walked in.
He then led me into a little room to the left.
"Mum, Dad, . This is . this is my mum, dad, and older sister .
"Hi." I smiled sweetly at them.
"Hello love. I'm . This is . And that's . Take a seat. How are you ?" 's mum asked me.
"I'll be honest, i'm a little nervous." I smiled, sure my nerves were showing.
"There's no need to be. You've proved to be a hit with the most awkward member of the family. You've done the hard job." His dad said.
I laughed quietly, noticing 's unamused face.
We sat down at the table for an hour, talking about college, and , and where they used to live.
Then his mum got out some baby photo's of ickle , which had us all laughing.
There were a few naked one's, which he quickly snatched off me, much to my amusement.
"Right. I'm taking upstairs so i can't be embarassed anymore." smiled to his mum and dad.
"All right pet. It's been lovely seeing you today . Come round again soon." smiled at me, picking up all the dirty cutlery and plates.
"Definately." I smiled back, before walking up the stairs with .
"Someone's a bit of a natural." laughed, leading me into his room.
"Yeaaah well, it's one of my many talents." I poked my tongue out at him.
"So, how was shopping ?"
"Ohhh, don't even get me started. was just being such a knob. She wanted to buy underwear for when her and have sex. How sick is that ? It's like me hanging out with and asking her what you're favourite position is or something. Eurgggh, she just fucked me right off. And i know she's meant to be my best friend, but AHHH !"
started laughing loudly at my reply.
"And she's not your best friend anyway. She didn't even buy you a ring to prove it." He smirked, lying down on his bed and signalling for me to do the same.
I smiled, looking at my ring, and then lay back on his double bed next to him.
"Yeaaah that's true. Oh yeaaah, and then she was like saying that all you'd be thinking about today is ripping this shirt off me, and how we'd have mad, passionate sex. Blah blah blah blah..." I finished off the whole of the events.
"HA. That shirt is far too lovely to rip. It would be such a shame to ruin it. No. I'd much rather just unbutton it, and then carefully place it on the floor. And as for the sex, i don't think i've ever had 'mad, passionate sex' before. It sounds a bit kinky, shall we try it ? It'll be one to tell the grandkids about." He winked at me.
I laughed, really hard. So hard that i felt a bit embarssed about it really.
"Ohhh yess. Haha. Our grandkids will be poor little warped creatures bless them. AND, worst of all, she was using the word sexytime." I complained.
clutched his chest, and opened his mouth in mock shock.
"The bitch. Doesn't she know that's our word. Eurgggh, i have no idea if she's more obsessed with your frigging brother or you."
I laughed again.
"And, just for the record, can i ask why we're having 'poor little warped CREATURES' for grandchildren ? I'm not some sort of monkey you know." He poked his tongue out at me.
We spent the next few hours just talking about complete shit. The majority of the time, i spent laughing.
"So, how did it go at 's yesterday then ?" only just thought to ask me on the way home from college.
"It was good fun." I enthused.
"Fun ? As in a laugh, turning into a kiss, then leading into a bit of hanky panky ?" He raised his eyebrows at me.
"Baha. please. Hanky panky is even worse than talking about sexytime with you. Naaa, we didn't even hug yesterday, so there was deffo nothing else."
"How long till you two actually kiss ? It's really annoying me . Just get it over and done with. Coz then all will be right with the world."
I laughed at him.
"You're a bit lame my friend. It probably won't ever happen, get over it."
"Ahhh. Probably. I like to see you don't rule it out completely. AND, talks to you about me and her having sex ?" He asked, quickly remembering.
"Uh huh. Only like, all of the time." I rolled my eyes.
"Hmmm. Do you think i should ask her out ? I really like her, but like, i'm scared she doesn't like me and stuff."
I shook my head smiling.
"You are so ridiculous, you know that ? I've near enough fallen out with her because all she ever talks about is having sex with you, and what she should wear to impress you, and how funny you are. Ohhh please, just do it. And then, with a bit of luck, she might actually shut up !"
It turns out, i had no luck.
" ASKED ME OUT. ASKED ME OUT. ASKED ME OUT. Ohhh , it was just absolutely AMAZING. He like actually asked me out, and i didn't mess up or anything, and then we kissed. And it was a proper kiss, and i actually remembered it this time, and i wasn't sick straight after it. And Gawwwwd, it was so goood, and it just means that i'm one step closer to sexyti...ummm...to getting into his bedroom." She screeched down the phone to me.
"That is really great ." I rolled my eyes, flicking through a magazine, completely uninterested.
"AND...This really is the best news ever...I'm going on holiday next week, in the half term. It's like somewhere out in the country. There's this HUGE house there, that my daddy has said i can stay in, and he told me to bring all my college friends with me. So, are you up for it ?"
I stopped reading the magazine, suddenly interested.
"Are we all going ?"
"Yep. Even . I asked him before you, because well, i thought i'd use him as a little incentive for you to come really."
I smiled, even though what she had just said was quite irritating.
I was too excited to worry about that.
" darling, please remember to keep the mess to a minimum. Any alcoholic drinks to an absolute minmum, because Daddy is renting that place to someone else next month, so it really does have to be kept spic and span. But enjoy yourselves. Oh and, i nearly forgot. Here's your 18th birthday present . It's a little early, but you need it now." 's dad spoke loudly, placing some car keys in her hand.
"Oh Daddy, thank you so much." She squeled, hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.
As was the only one that could actually drive, he got the keys.
's dad had bought her a HUGE family car, which had space for 8 people in it, which was pretty handy, because i really wasn't looking foward to us all squeezing into 's .
Three hours later, and the car pulled up outside this mansion.
"Shitt man, look at this place. Is this really ours for the week ?" asked in awe.
"Yep. It's great isn't it ?" beamed back.
We all walked into the house, and quickly started to explore it.
"Ummm, . If this is house is so big, why are there only 5 bedrooms ?" I asked, after inspecting the whole of the mansion.
"Ohhh right. Yeaaah, well there were 7 bedrooms, but daddy knocked the walls down and converted them into a bar and an inside swimming pool." replied, picking up her huge suitcase.
"Well all the bedroom's have been claimed. Where am i meant to sleep ?" I moaned, feeling completely miserable.
She shrugged simply.
"Share ?" With that she walked off.
I left my small suitcase in the large hallway and plonked myself down on one of the leather sofas. The living room was absolutely huge, with eight leather sofa's, and a massive widescreen television.
"This is absolutely ridiculous." I thought out loud, looking at the size of the place, annoyed that i'd have to sleep on one of these beauts for the entire week.
"Hey babee. What's up ?"
I smiled as relaxed on the sofa next to me.
"There's eight bloody sofa's in here, and you have to sit on one that i'm sat on don't you ?" I laughed.
He smiled back at me and then looked, waiting for an answer to his previous question.
"There's only five bedrooms here. So basically, i'm sleeping on one of these bad boys for the week." I sighed.
He shook his head.
"Have you not seen the size of my bedroom ? It's like the size of the tech block at college. No way are you getting dumped in here, we'll just share."
"No, i really couldn't. It's a bit unfair. You don't want to be sharing with a girl on your holiday. You want to be able to sleep naked, and throw your dirty clothes around on the floor." I shook my head.
"Yes, and all of that will still be happening." He winked at me.
I laughed and gave in.
"Ok then, fine."
He picked up my suitcase and carried it into his room.
" , you can share with and i'll sleep on the sofa if you want ?" offered as we sat down, eating a meal i'd cooked.
The kitchen cupboard, and fridge freezer was full so I cooked a roast chicken dinner.
I felt like such a mum for doing it, but the others were all completely useless.
looked disgusted at the idea, as she clearly was looking foward to sharing that room with for the week.
"No, really it's fine. I'm gonna share with now."
smiled.
"Ohhh, fair do's." He replied.
" , this food is so fucking good. Ahhh, please cook it every evening ?" muttered, in between eating.
"There's other stuff in the kitchen, i'm not just cooking a roast every night." I laughed, but i was pleased that they all liked the food so much.
I was so tired that evening that i went up into mine and 's room at ten, leaving them all downstairs to watch television.
I unpacked a few things, uncertain of what were my compartments and what one's wanted.
About 10 minutes later i was lying in the kingsize bed, trying to sleep.
I heard the door click open, and then close quietly.
"Are you asleep ?"
I smiled. It was .
He walked around to the other side of the bed and lay on it, turning on his side to look at me.
"Hi." I whispered back to him.
"Hows the bed ?" He asked.
"Comffffy." I replied, smiling.
"Do you reckon there's any night life out there ?"
"I doubt it, we're in the middle of nowhere. And the nearest shops are a twenty minute drive away."
"Damn it. I was hoping maybe we could go clubbing sometime this week."
"Maybe we could when we get home ?" I suggested.
"That would be good." He beamed back.
" ?"
"Hmmm ?"
I leaned foward and pressed my lips against his, parting them slowly, allowing his tongue access. We were like that for a few minutes, before i pulled away, smiling broadly.
I put my hand to his cheek and felt that he was rather hot.
Stroking his cheek i whispered; "I love you." before falling into a sleep.
The howling wind woke me up early the next morning.
I noticed sprawled out on his front, his face tilted towards me.
I smiled.
He looked adorable.
I found myself fighting the increasing urge to kiss him again.
Last night became too much and i couldn't control the desire anymore.
And now i've finally given in, i think it might just be a little bit harder than it was before.
Not wanting to wake him, i settled with affectionately stroking his hand.
I counted the freckles that were on his hand, arms and shoulders, and then on his face.
"Having fun ?" He whispered, sleepily.
"I was counting your freckles. Their so cute." I cooed.
He smiled.
"That's not fair, you only have a few on your face and one on your wrist. I don't have as many to count." He complained.
I laughed quietly, aware that it was still only half five in the morning.
I suddenly sat up in bed, cross legged with my back straight.
wearily followed suite and looked at me confused.
I leaned in, pushing my lips against his again.
I didn't care about resisting the urge now. I needed him.
He raised a hand to my cheek, as the kiss intensified.
Moments later, he slowly pushed me backwards onto the bed, leaving a trail of kisses down my neck.
He removed my pajama vest top and started to kiss all the way down to the top of my jogging bottoms.
I smiled teasingly, removing his boxer shorts, as he removed my final items of clothing.
After a while, i looked up at him.
"Fuck it." He suddenly stopped.
"You didn't bring one ?" I asked dissapointed.
He shook his head.
"That sucks. Guess we'll have to wait." I replied.
"I'm so sorry." He said, before kissing me hard on the lips.
"I'll make it up to you, i promise." He said, as he broke away from the kiss.
"You don't need to." I smiled back at him, getting under the duvet.
"Told you i'd be sleeping naked in here." He grinned, before we fell back to sleep.
