IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER

ANDREA

"You have to go, please ~" Alexis pleaded, her eyes twinkling cutely.

"Nope, not happening. Your puppy eyes no longer work on me." I said, giving no room for any discussion. My eyes focusing back on the iPad in my arms with my legs crossed on my bed.

I've been trying to meet up with the deadline to create more designs for my new clothing line, but with Alexis here... there's no hope.

I could already feel a headache coming.

"Just this once, it's your graduation night for God's sake Andy...live a little." She grumbled.

"I'm too busy for that and you know it..." I stated the fact she already knew.

"I know but you've never gone to a party once in like what...four years?!!" Her eyes widened as she counted with her fingers, realizing it's actually been four years since I ever partied.

"Four years isn't that long, and you know I'd rather stay indoors than go out" I sighed, already distracted from the gown I was trying to design.

"Just this once, do it for me." She blinked cutely, then added "And besides, the party is being held at my place."

Hearing that, my head snapped up as I stared at her in shock, like I'd just seen a ghost.

Her place?!!!

"Absolutely not!!!" I screamed at the top of my voice.

"What? Why?" She asked, dejected.

"You know why" I rolled my eyes.

"Ohh!" She snapped her fingers, "It's just me, he's on a business trip. You don't have to worry about a thing." She smiled triumphantly.

"My answer is still no. You know you can't make me leave the comfort of my own home to a place where there's loud music and sweaty people rubbing against each other." I said.

Brushing my hair back with my fingers, I dropped my ipad and finally gave her my full attention.

"I promise you won't have to do a thing, you just have to show up for the party and stay for some time." She pushed. "It's a party for your graduation" she added, making me feel guilty.

"I..."

Before I could reply, I heard a knock on my door, soft and almost quiet.

"Come in!!" I said.

"Hi, Andy" Amelia walked into the room with a smile on her face , her little dimples showing on both side of her cheeks.

"Oh, hi Lia" I smiled back at her, gesturing for her to come closer.

Amelia is my step sister, I'm older than her with just a year but I like treating her like a child because of how cute she looks.

I'm a sucker for cute things.

My dad married her mom six years ago and I was so happy for him, I'd never seen him happier with anyone else since my mom died ten years ago.

The first time I met Lia, she was the cutest, most obedient fifteen years old I've seen and I couldn't help falling in love with her.

"Come sit" I said, patting the space beside me on the bed.

"Thanks, Andy" she smiled again.

Smiling, I turned around just in time to catch Alexis rolling her eyes.

"Ohh, hi Alex. Didn't see you there" Lia waved at her and I could practically see fumes coming out of her ears.

Alexis has always hated being called Alex. She said it was because it made her sound like she was her brother, but Lia never fails to call her that anytime they meet.

Chuckling, I tried to calm the air between them, before they start blowing my ears off.

Alexis has always hated Lia for some reason, and Lia always makes sure to get on her bad side by calling her Alex.

"Oh shoot, look at the time" Alexis exclaimed loudly as she picked up her phone.

"Are you supposed to be somewhere else?" I asked, completely forgetting about the party.

"Yeah, duhh" she rolled her eyes sassily like I was a dummy.

"Ohh!" I nodded.

"Come on, I'm asking you as your best friend to come with me to the graduation party I threw for you." She pleaded again, knowing that if she puts it that way then I wouldn't be able to say no.

"Okay, fine!!" I drawled, raising my hands as I finally gave up.

"Yay!" She squeeled with delight.

Ugghh!! What did I just get myself into?

"Are you guys going somewhere?" Lia asked, her voice soft... like a light breeze.

"It's non of your business" Alexis rolled her eyes at her again.

Glaring at her from the corner of my eye, she muttered 'What?' before going through my closet to choose what I was going to wear.

"Just ignore her, we're going to a small party at her house" I said, paying no mind to Alexis who was practically tossing my clothes across the room.

"I thought you didn't do parties?" Lia asked, her face showing concern.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll be in her room throughout" I said pointing at Alexis.

"Can I come too?" She asked suddenly, making both of us stop whatever we were doing to stare at her.

"No!!" We both exclaimed but for clearly different reasons.

"Why" Lia asked, her expression changing slowly.

"You know why, Lia. Your not strong enough to go to parties" I said calmly, my voice tender.

Amelia has always been the sickly type, so she was prevented from going to places like parties.

"But you told me I can do anything I want, that I shouldn't let my illness hold me back" She blinked.

"I know I said that, but..." Before I could continue she jumped up and ran out.

"I'm gonna go get ready" she screamed behind her.

"You spoil her too much, you guys are practically the same age" Lexis sighed "She isn't what you think she is though." She added.

"Not this again, why would you say that? She can barely do anything on her own." I rubbed my forehead in frustration.

"Let's just get ready. Here wear this" she said, throwing a piece of clothes on my face.

"This??" I asked in exasperation, using my thumb and index finger to pick up the skimpy dress I didn't know was in my closet.

"Yes, this. Now go put it on" she glared at me menacingly but all I could see was an angry cat.

Chuckling, I ran to the bathroom to try on the dress, but there was no way I was wearing it anywhere that isn't my room.

"Purrfect!!" Lexis coed, her eyes growing wide with joy.

Sighing in defeat, I stood in front of the mirror and I gasped. The gown was too tight, too short and too opened for me.

It was a black coloured dress that accentuate my curves, my cleavage was out in the open for everyone to see.

Turning around, I could help but exclaim in shock as I saw how big the gown made my ass look.

"Damn bestie, you're like a walking sex appeal." She whistled loudly, her eyes roaming around my body.

"You can't wear that!!!"

I heard an angry voice as the door swung open.
