you make me feel… I dunno…relaxed…comfortable.”
    I laughed.
    “Phew.  Note to self: Sucky at first impressions.  Always insist second date.”
    She laughed and turned her face towards me.  Our lips were so close now and our smiles quickly dissipated into serious lustful stares.  What. The. Fuck. Were we doing?  I inched slightly closer to her and I could feel her warm breath on my chin.  I reached over and tilted her head up towards mine.  I could hear her breathing getting faster and louder.  I loved that I had this effect on her.  I loved that she hadn’t just thrust her body on top of me like every other girl.  I liked that she didn’t feel the need to say anything.  I got closer and I could almost taste her lips, feel their fullness on mine.  They were amazing lips.  She had amazing lips and I was going to kiss them.  The rest of the world melted away, I closed my eyes and leant in and then…then I felt her abruptly stand up and ruin the entire moment.
    “I actually am quite tired you know.  Today was a big day.  Thanks again.”
    I think this was my cue to leave.
    “Yeah, goodnight,” I walked towards the door and left feeling completely rejected.
     
    Victoria
    And then he left.
    Shit.
    Shit.
    Shit.
    What was I doing with my brother?  Sure, we weren’t actually related in any way but this was still so totally weird.  I don’t know what is wrong with me, it’s been two days for Christ sakes.  
    I liked him though.
    A lot.
     
    I looked at him from across the room, like really looked at him.  I couldn’t help but think about how extremely handsome he was.  His hair was a light brown and was long enough to just touch his ears.  It sat messily and, what I first thought to be an unattractive quality, I now found incredibly sexy.  It looked so natural, and paired with his piercing green eyes?  I practically melted whenever he looked at me.  He had a chiselled jaw, a thick neck that led down to broad shoulders and, not that I had seen much else, but there was no way that he wasn’t sporting washboard abs under that shirt.  His hands were big and I loved seeing the veins that popped up from his skin on the top of his hand and travelled up his arms.  It made him look strong and manly.  Oh. God.  I really had it bad.  
     
    The rest of the school week went pretty fast.  I tried to keep up an imaginary wall between me and Jake.  I could admit I liked him but I also thought that maybe I was just craving some support and he happened to be the first person to give it to me.  Besides, he also hasn’t got the best reputation with the ladies.  And, let’s not forget…HE IS MY BROTHER!  STEP-BROTHER…step-brother...he is my stepbrother…totally no relation at all, but I still felt that keeping my distance was the way to go.  The thing is though, he didn’t even seem interested to break the wall down.  He had pretty much ignored all week; no more teasing, no more jokes.  Thank god I didn’t kiss him that night in my bedroom.  He was obviously only wanting one thing from me and now that he’s realised I’m not that type of girl, he wants nothing to do with me.  Typical.
     
    I made a couple of friends this week too and they even invited me to a house party tonight.  Apparently everyone will be there.  Usually I would say no to this type of thing but I really wanted to make friends…and keep them.
     
    Jake
    It’s Friday night already and I haven’t really spoken to Victoria all week.  She hasn’t spoken to me either.  To be honest, I’m still feeling deflated after Monday night in her bedroom.  I’m never wrong about a girl’s signals and I could’ve sworn she wanted to kiss me but it turns out she is totally not interested at all.  I’d never had a girl turn me down before, and unfortunately for me, this made her even more attractive.  
     
    “Hey Jake.  Can I get a lift to the party tonight?”
    Shit.  Don’t tell me she is going to a drug and alcohol
