My Childhood Crush

Alethea, where are my prints!" I sighed as I hovered over the printer and copy machine. I haven't been here for more than a minute and she is already yelling for her damn prints. She is the most obnoxious person I have ever met, but nobody would ever dare tell her that. Everybody around here kissed her ass, because it was better than to piss her off. I'm sad to say that I am one of the few who kisses her ass. Oh, I'm sorry, how very rude of me. My name is Alethea. I have long black hair with light brown highlights that goes down to the middle of my back. I have green and brown hazel eyes, I am mixed with black and white; so my skin complexion is tan. Most people often mistake me to be Puerto Rican. I am also four foot eleven. I currently work in designing clothes, but my real passion in life is writing books. Although I never succeeded in creating a book. Every time I tried to start one, my mind just goes blink, so for right now I have given up. I chose to design clothes instead. I

I woke up the next morning to Mason knocking on the bedroom door. I sat up so fast and tried to fix my hair, before I answered the door. I don't know why I even bothered to try to look a little decent. It's not like I have a chance with the guy. He probably still sees me as a twelve-year-old. I answered the door when I thought I looked a little better. I looked up at Mason to see him smirking at me."Why are you smiling?" I asked confused. I looked down at myself to see if there was something out of place; but everything looked normal. I turned around to go look at myself through the mirror by his dresser, and I almost had a heart attack. Even though I tried to fix my hair, it didn't work. My curls never want to listen to me. my hair was all over the place. Damn I probably blew my chance with him now. Don't flatter yourself, you never had a chance with him. My inner self said. I rolled my eyes and turned around to go to my luggage. I pulled out a rubber band and put my hair up in a bu

I woke up the next morning with a massive headache and to someone snoring. I looked over to my right to see Mason sleeping shirtless on the floor of my bedroom. I slowly stood up and tiptoed to luggage. I rummaged through my stuff until I found my migraine pills. Once I found them I stood up too quickly. I grabbed my head with both of my hands to try to make my brain stop moving. As soon as my head stopped hurting from me standing up too quickly, I caught a glimpse from the mirror on the side of my eye. I turned my head towards it slowly as to not make my head hurt more. Once I looked at myself in the mirror, I notice I still had my dress on from last night and my hair looked like a bird's nest at the moment. I looked around the room to find a cup of water beside my bed which was also right next to Mason. I walked over to my bed and as I was carefully trying to reach for the glass of water I heard a knock at the door. "Lea, are you in there?" Asher asked while turning the door kn

It's been a week since that night at Texas Long Horn. After Mason dropped me off back at my brother's house, that was the end of it. I haven't seen or heard from Mason at all since that night. I felt stupid sitting around all day and checking my phone every few seconds. Just to get no calls or text messages. I shouldn't have let him kiss or eat me out, I felt so dumb. Today though, I'm not going to let him control my day and night. CeCe called me this morning to tell me about some party someone is throwing. I agreed to go, why not right? Not like I have a boyfriend and I still have to find a date for Asher's wedding. So later that day, CeCe came to pick me up. I packed some clothes and make-up and all of my hair products to take to her place. I decided to just sleep over at CeCe's house for the night. I didn't want to keep my brother up wondering where I am and when I will be coming home. When CeCe and I arrived at her place, she showed me her room. I put my stuff in the corner o

CeCe dragged me all the way upstairs and made me sit on her bed as she stood in front of me."Tell me everything." She said while putting her hands on her hips and tapping her right foot on the floor. I had to stop myself from laughing, because she looked like a mother. Even though she is a mother. "I don't know what you are talking about." I say while smiling. I couldn't help it, im pretty sure my cheeks were red. I was so happy and I couldn't even hide it from anyone."Bullshit Lea. I saw Mason bring you upstairs and the two of you didn't come back down until an hour later. Then I saw the both of you leave the party together. You didn't even call or text us to let us know what was going on; or to tell us you were okay. So what happened? And you better start when he brought you up to a room at that party." CeCe said. My smile widened, I tried to hide it, but I couldn't. "He took me upstairs. Told me he didn't like seeing me dance with anyone else. I told him why not, because it is
