Alexa's POV

I walked home today. It was a nice day out, so why not enjoy it? I got in the house and heard voices in the living room. I heard laughter and peeked to see it was the soccer team. I quietly made my way upstairs.

"So how's Olivia, Rob" I heard someone say

I stopped in my tracks. I was curious.

"Ugh. I hate her. She's too...sweet. The kind of sweet that makes you wanna throw up." Robin admits with no trace of guilt

"Why are you still dating her then?" Another voice chuckled

"I am determined to win this bet. Plus she's good in bed." Was Robin's simple reply

Poor Olivia...she really likes him...I think she even loves him. She'll be heartbroken when she finds out. I know I'm supposed to tell Olivia right away cause she's my friend, but she hasn't been  much of a friend. I barely talk to her anymore. She and Ariana hang out with the sluts now and they have "no time" for Jess and I. I don't think she'll believe me.

"Dude. Ariana is way better. Hot as fuck and amazing in bed" Cole says

Heh. Olivia isn't the only one who's heartbroken now.

"Damn man. You're lucky." Someone else says. I hear some agreeing.

I stopped listening and went to the kitchen before I barf at what they're talking about. I grabbed a bottle of coke and sighed deeply. I'm trying so hard to push away the strong jealousy I'm currently feeling.

I was nothing compared to Ariana. How in the world could I ever think that Cole would like me? I was not one bit attractive and Ariana had all the looks. Cole just thinks of me as a friend and nothing more. Maybe he doesn't even think of me as a friend. Maybe he-

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps heading towards the kitchen. I quickly grabbed my coke and bag. I rushed up the stairs with my head down but doing that still didn't help me avoid meeting the strangers. I bumped into a hard chest. I bit my lip and ran a hand through my hair nervously. I mumbled a soft apology and looked up. My eyes widen.

'Did that bump really cause me to see double?'

A bark of laughter interrupts my thoughts and I saw the two boys laughing their ass off. I look at them confused.

"I mean I know I'm strong but I don't think my chest is that hard that it  makes you see double." One of them says.

The other laughs even louder and I'm getting more and more confused.

"You're not seeing double, love. We're twins." One says after they've finished laughing.

Oh shit I said that out loud? It all makes sense now. I'm so slow to catch on things.

I smile sheepishly and look down, trying to hid my blush.

"No need to be shy love."

Oh my fuck.

Hold the fuck up.

Are they british?!

Oh fuuckkk. Damn that accent.

I look up and oh my god. They're as hot as their voices. Hot damn.

The two of them are tall with broad shoulders. Their hair is a dark brown color. They have a jawline as sharp as a knife. Their body is so built. Their biceps are huge and I'm pretty sure those are six packs under the tight fitted V neck. The only thing that's different about them is their hair and their eyes. One of them has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes. The twin with the brown eyes has his hair styled into a quiff and the other one's hair was tousled. Both of them are equally hot as fuck.

"Dude. Our hotness has made her speechless." Brown eyes laughs

I look down blushing again

"So what are you doing here gorgeous?" Blue eyes asks me

"I-"

"TWINS WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG" Someone yells

The twins turn to see who yelled and were about to yell back. I took this opportunity to run upstairs without going noticed. I ran to my room to see Axel fast asleep. I lock the door and sat down on the bed.

God that was awkward. Well I guess I'm trapped here till...well until Cole's friends decide to leave.

I took out my laptop and layed it on my lap. I decided to watch some movies till they leave.

I guess their staying for dinner. They've been here for hours. I heard some leaving but there's still some talking downstairs. Axel, who woke up hours earlier,is getting hungry and I don't wanna risk him being seen.

"Auntie Alliiiee. Pleeasseee can we go eat?" Axel whines for the millionth time

"Okay okay okay. We'll go out to eat." I finally give in

His eyes lights up and I went in the bathroom to change my clothes. I put on a knitted sweater and black leggings. I wore a scarf, beanie and finished my look with my boots. Once I finished, I put Axel's sweater on him and put on his scarf around his neck.

Axel and I went out through the back door and we were lucky not to bump into anyone on the way out.

We went to the café I worked since I missed this place so much. I saw Jordan on shift and I immediately grinned. I pulled Axel with me and Jordan's eyes light up when he sees me. He runs over to me and gives me a big hug.

"I MISSED YOU!!!!! YOU LEFT ME ALONE AND BORED HERE. I HAD NO ONE." He yells. I laugh and push him off me

"Damn. Do you have to be so loud?" I grinned at him

"Yes. I miss you." He pouts

"Well I'm here with-"

"You must be Axel!!!" He exclaims and picks him up

"Oh your Auntie Allie talks a lot about you!!! I'm Jordan. Auntie Allie's friend." He introduces himself to Axel

Axel grins at him and waves.

"I'm hungry." Axel says

"Oh that's not good!! We gotta feed that little tummy of yours. What do you wanna eat bud?" Jordan asks

"Mac n Cheese!!!" Axel says

"Mac n Cheese it is then!!!" Jordan puts Axel on his shoulders.

"To the kitchen!!!" He yells and jogs to the kitchen with Axel on his shoulders. I laugh at the two and go find a seat for us.

We stayed at the café till it was closing time. Jordan stayed with us since we were the only customers. I caught up with him and Axel got to know him. Jordan has a little brother and sister, which is why he's really good with kids.

Jordan drove us home because he didn't want us to walk in the dark. I'm so glad Axel forced me to go out to eat dinner. This was way more fun than staying cooped up in my room the whole night.

"Welp this is your stop bud." Jordan stops in front of the house.

"Carry me?" Axel asks him. Jordan grins widely and scoops him in his arms. They get out of the car. Jordan is holding Axel as if he was flying. Axel was giggling and laughing loudly. I laughed and trailed behind them. Jordan stopped in the front door and put Axel down.

"Thanks for tonight Jordan." I say smiling at him. He smiles and hugs me.

"No problem Alexa. You seriously need to come back to work. I'm so lonely without you" he pouts

"Awww I'll come back soon." I say

"Promise?" He puts out his pinky finger

"I promise" I hook my finger with his.

"Well Good night pretty little lady." He kisses my forehead.

He squats down and hugs Axel.

"Good night bud. Visit me again sometime, yeah?" he say

"Definitely. Good night Uncle Jordan" Axel smiles widely at him

Jordan's eyes widen and his jaw drops. He returns Axel's wide smile and hugs him tightly. He lets go after a while and ruffles his hair. He starts walking to his car and Axel waves as his car drives off. I open the door and Axel runs upstairs.

"Aleeexxxaaaaaaa is that youuu????" Chase's voice fills the room

I walk into the living room and see Cole, Chase, Robin,Olivia, Ariana and the twins from earlier. They all turned to me and I see a flash of recognition in the twins' eyes.

"Hey guys!" I grin

"Where were you?" Cole asks

"Axel and I went out to eat. Jordan then decided to join us and we lost track of time" I chuckle

"Who's Jordan?" He asks

"The guy I work with in the café? Remember?"

"Oh. Yeah." He says stiffly

"Hello love! Remember us?" Brown eyes speaks up

I think i just melted. British accents are so hot. Anything that has to do with the U.K. is hot.

"Yeah..." I mumble shyly

"I'm Harrison by the way!!" Brown eyes says

"I'm Jackson" Blue eyes smiles at me

"Alexa." I smile back at them

"Wanna hang out with us Lex?" Cole asks

"Nah. I'd be no fun." I shake my head

"Bullshit! You and Jess are sooo much fun." Chase protests

"Jess is fun." I correct him

"Guys don't push her. If she doesn't wanna hang out with us then she won't." Ariana says. She was rubbing Cole's arm up and down. I swear her clothes get shorter and shorter everytime I see her.

"Come on twins! Let's bug Alexa. It's way more fun than hanging with these four. Sticking with them is like watching porn in real life." Chase says. Cole and Robin hit him with a pillow.

"Stating the truth." Chase raises his hands in surrender

"Well shit. So does that mean I'm stuck with Chase?" I say

"Yup!" Chase chirps

"Don't worry love! You have me!!" Harrison says. He puts his arm around my shoulder and I can't help but blush. I'm weak for guys with accents. Soon I'm being pulled away from him and taken into someone else's arms.

"Don't belive him. Harrison is just like Chase." Jackson says. He was hugging me from behind.

"Actually I think it's time you all go home." Cole says

The sound of whines and protests fill the room. It mostly came from the twins and Chase. I laughed at the boys.

"I wanna hang out with Alexaaa" Harrison whines

"Sameee" Jackson and Chase say in unison

"I'm flattered, but it's getting late and I need to go to bed without having three idiots bugging me." I say

They nod. Each of them hug me tightly before leaving. Ariana kisses Cole before leaving. Once everyone left I turned to face Cole.

"Nice lipstick. It looks good on you" I laugh. His lips were the color of Ariana's lipstick and his hair was messy. His shirt was also messed up but he still managed to look great.

His eyes widen and he quickly wipes his face. I laugh as he fails to get the lipstick off. I grabbed a tissue and wet it a little bit before walking over to him. I stood on my tip toes and he holds my waist to keep me steady. I wiped the lipstick off his cheek and then his lips. I took my time on his lips and brushed the tissue slowly. I giggle a bit when I saw water dripping down his lips. I brushed away the water with my thumb.

"There...all gone" I whispered. I pull away, immediately regretting my decision.

"I'm gonna go to bed now. Night Cole" I say. I don't wait for him to reply and rush up to my room.

I need to get my feelings in control.
