“Can I help you?” Nate asked gruffly.
“You like her, don’t you?” Alex asked.
“Who, Amanda? No, not really,” Nate replied. “Why is everyone keep asking me about that?”
“I was talking about Amelia. I saw the way you were looking at her when she was snuggling with Ryan,” Alex said and smirked. “You looked jealous. And don’t try to deny it because I know what you look like when you are jealous.”
“I bet you do, asshole. What’s it to you anyway? And why are you talking to me?” Nate retorted.
“Oh, come on! How long are you going to keep up this act, brother? You can’t stay mad at me forever. Why can’t we go back to the way we were?” Alex pouted.
“That’s where you are wrong, ‘brother,’ you took somethi
“Well, now you know my secret, so it’s your turn to tell me about you and Alex,” she said and broke the hug.“Ah…right. Alex and I weren’t always like this. We were very close. We are twins after all,” Nate paused. “We used to do everything together. We had the same friends. Well, they were mostly introduced to me by him because he was a social butterfly. I barely talked to anyone. I was anyways the quiet kid,” Nate stopped. His voice was turning grim.“What happened between you guys?” Amelia asked, encouraging him to go on.“Well, in our freshman year, I got a girlfriend. Her name was Destiny. Even though I wasn’t as outgoing as Alex, girls liked me. They always go after the dark and mysterious types,” Nate smirked.Amelia rolled her eyes. “Go on,” she said.“Des
“Wow,” Amelia said after hearing Nate finished his story. “No wonder you hate him so much. He sounds like a horrible brother.”“Yeap, fuck him,” Nate scoffed.“So….the girl in the picture in your room, is that Destiny? Why do you still keep her picture?” she asked.“Yes, I guess I should’ve burned that picture,” he laughed bitterly.“You still love her, don’t you?” Amelia said quietly.“I don’t know… I want to think that I hate her. Love caused nothing but pain to me,” he said and looked away.Amelia touched his hand. She half expected him to brush it away, but he didn’t move an inch. He felt her shiver all of a sudden.“You are cold,” he said when he felt her tremble. He held her hand
Amanda was lying on his bed wearing nothing but a skimpy nightshirt. She gave him a seductive smile.“What are you doing here?” Nate asked.“Just came to see if you needed some company,” she said.“What I need is some good night’s sleep, so you should leave,” he said, clearly annoyed at her intrusion.Amanda got up and wrapped her arms around him. “Come on, Nate, I’ve always had a crush on you. Alex and I have always been good friends, but you, you are a mystery to me,” she said.“And I’d like it to remain that way,” he said.“I can’t stop thinking about that kissed we shared,” she whispered.“It was for a stupid game. It didn’t mean anything,” He said.“Maybe I should remind
“So, I heard you and Amanda hooked up last night,” Ryan asked as he stared at the lake.“Oh, you did? Congratulations,” Amelia said quietly before Nate could deny it.“Um…nothing happened between us. I sent her back to her room and told her I wasn’t interested,” Nate said, his eyes never leaving Amelia’s face. He couldn’t read her expression.“That’s not what I heard. Max told me he heard noises coming from inside your room and saw Amanda leaving your room late at night,” Ryan insisted.“Why are you and Max gossiping like a bunch of middle school girls? We may have done other things, but I didn’t sleep with her,” Nate said.“Oh, other things? What kind of things?” Ryan asked and smirked.“None of your damn business. The point is
Amelia was sitting at the bench where she and Nate were sitting the previous night. She wasn’t feeling good, so she wanted to be alone for a minute. She looked up as she felt someone else’s presence behind her.“Hey Alex,” she said and smiled despite feeling nothing but contempt for him.“You know, most new people in our school can’t tell the difference between Nate and me, but you are pretty good,” he said.“You guys are nothing alike besides having the same face. Besides, I just saw Nate, and he was wearing a different outfit,” Amelia shrugged.“True, I am much nicer and better looking,” he grinned.She chuckled. “I beg to differ.”“Oh really? Say, Amelia, you have a little thing for Nate?” he asked.“I don’t know&h
Nate went back to his room, feeling angry at himself. What was he thinking about kissing her impulsively? And why did he have to go and tell her it was a mistake. It must’ve hurt her feelings, and that was the last thing he wanted.He couldn’t imagine what she might be thinking right now. He knew for a fact that he wasn’t entirely over Destiny, so it was unfair for him to confuse Amelia like that. He couldn’t give her his heart since it was already broken.A knock on the door snapped him back to reality. “Who is it?” he asked in an annoyed tone. He was in no mood for company right now.“Open the door, Nate,” Amelia spoke from the other side.He wasn’t expecting her. He figured he would be the last person she would want to see after that kiss. He opened the door and let her in.“Um… what’s up?&
Amelia stared at the hard muscles that were hidden under his clothes. Her heated eyes were overwhelmed with intense desire. She wanted that body against her right now.“Regret? I doubt it,” she smiled.“You are so infuriating,” he said and softly bit her neck.She moaned. “And you are driving me crazy by trying to resist me. You are a hormonal teenage boy. Live a little,” she giggled.“Are you sure this is your first time? I’ve never met a virgin who was so aggressive about wanting to have sex. Aren’t you scared I’ll hurt you?” Nate asked.“How many virgins have you had?” Amelia squinted at him.“I asked you first,” Nate laughed.“I am not scared. I trust you,” she said quietly. “You won’t hurt me,”
Nate woke up early in the morning. He looked down as he felt something soft against his chest. Amelia. He remembered everything from last night. His arms were still wrapped around her. She had her head rested on his chest, where she slept peacefully.I’ve never seen anything so beautiful, he thought.He ran his fingers through her hair but then snapped them back when she moved.“Hmm…is it morning already?” she yawned and sat up. Her cover moved from her upper body, revealing the smooth skin which reminded him of the warmth he felt last night.“Are you blushing, Mr. Bad boy?” she said as she stared at him intently.“Um…fuck no? What are you still doing here? You should get out of my room before everyone else knows what we did last night,” he barked.“You mean how you ravag
