Falling for him

1

"Hi my baby!" I say with an excited squeal. My cat purrs whilst walking towards me.

"Did you just call your cat your baby..?" I hear my friend Amanda say. She looks at me as I'm some crazy lady. Pfft.

"Yes, and what? She's a beautiful creature... oh yes you are!" My voice pitches up three octaves higher while I hold my cat up infront of my face. Amanda just seems to laugh at me.

"Amanda! What have i said about squealing it's so fucking—" Suddenly Amanda's older brother comes to a stop at the door, eyeing me down. I will admit he's one hell of a human. Tall, olive skin, brown messy waves, and not to mention completely ripped and loaded with tattoos.

"I didn't know we had company." My breath hitches as his eyes lower down to my legs. His eyebrow raises at the clothing I'm wearing, a bikini. A very revealing bikini, where the thin strings were pulled too high on my hips and my ass looked as if there was nothing covering it. Great.

"Ugh, Zeke get out!" Amanda grunts with annoyance and quickly races to the door, slamming it in his face.

"He's so annoying.." she mumbles, sitting back down.

"I think Rosa would agree to disagree." I say with a muffled laugh. That's when we both look over to Rosa with her mouth agape and staring at the door like he's still there.

"Ew, no Rosa! That's my brother." Amanda whines acting like they had a make out session infront of her.

"Yeah, well it's not my fault he's so perfect.. and fuckable.." A laugh arrupts through me. From the look of Rosa's face I can tell she wasn't meant to say that last part out loud.

"Rosa!" Amanda shrieks, hitting her with a pillow. From there Rosa begins giggling. While they're hitting eachother with pillows I decide to grab a glass of lemonade we made the other day.

"Talking about me I see." A sudden voice says. I hold my chest from the fright, my eyes flicker to the side to see Zeke leaning on his door right across me.

"You gave me a heart attack," I say while still trying to collect my breath. I stand up straight and face the 6ft 2 goddess infront of me. Rosa wasn't wrong, he really was fuckable. Especially in his work clothes.

"Enjoying the view?" I look up at his face to see his eyebrow raised. That's when I realised that I was full on ogling his chest. His nice, toned, sweaty chest. One could dream.

"Uh no, I was just off to get a lemonade. Parched, you know." My lie comes quick and I try to slide away and out of the awkwardness. God, if Amanda found out I too found her brother hot... that would be another story.

"Great, so am I, I'll join you." Zeke begins walking down the stairs. He stops when I don't follow him and makes and 'come on' motion with his fingers. I wonder how that would feel inside of me. Oh my God, shut up!

We make our way downstairs and I keep trying to take quick glances at him. I mean one would be a fool to not say he's attractive. Seriously. I've known this man for 4 years and everyday I swear he gets finer. It all started when I was 13 and we were playing tag in the dark. My family was new to the neighbourhood so Amanda's kindly decided to invite us over. While trying to find a hiding spot I walked into a dark room.

I walk into the dim lit room, wondering whose it is. As I make myself to the closet I hear a shower door shut. Shit!

"Hello, is someone there?" A voice calls out. This must've been the son Amanda's parents were talking about.  I awkwardly move out of the closet to find a teenage boy looking at me. I think I remember Amanda's parents saying he's 15. My eyes follow up to him and I see the most handsome boy ever. God, where did they find this child.
