Alexandra Abernathy is used to getting what she wants, and when she wants it. She's top of her class, a great daughter, hard worker and always up for a challenge. But when her new neighbor forgets to buy blinds before moving in, she sees his girlfr...
When I made it home I quickly threw on my new dress. Loving the way it held my body...
I threw on a few necklaces and a golden bracelet I got for my birthday last year. Hoping that it would make me look more presentable tonight, since I couldn't curl my hair. Luke was hell bent on showing me a beach on the way home. The same beach he supposedly met some famous body builder on.
Because of his unnecessary detour, I had to rush getting ready. Throwing on some light makeup and mascara, since my skin was tanned and rosy from the sun.
Looking in the mirror, I slipped on some high heeled sandals. Finally liking how I look for tonight.

Okay Alex, just breath... breath...
Tonight is going to be great. Father Jepson is going to be understand, and he'll think it's funny. Not weird, creepy, or wrong...
Fuck.
I should have never told him what I thought about Christian in the first place, and I never should have let Christian come into my house this week. He wouldn't have been invited and we wouldn't be having this little problem here...
Why did I have to be such an open book? Why did my mom want any and every man to like me? If it's not Christian now, it would be some other guys, or some handsome man that sold her a few acres further in land. I love her to death, but I know late at night she wonders why I cant keep a guy, or want to be with one. Sometimes I like being by myself and loving the freedom it gives me, and not having to text someone every five minutes because of their neediness. But the second Christian entered into my home I was hooked. I wanted to text him every five minutes. I wanted to be with him, I wanted to keep him. But as if fate was cruel, he was held by another woman at night, some woman that was not me.

My entire family left me thirty minutes ago to walk to Stacy's. And because I didn't want to walk a few blocks in heels, I called my trusty red head...
"I hate it." He said.
"You can't hate it. You were there when I bought it." I said, crossing my arms over my chest as I sat further back in the passenger seat. "You should have said something then."
"I would have, if I saw how short it was. The boys are going to be all over you tonight, and let's not forget Jake and his younger brothers. They'll practically be—"
"Okay stop." I said, raising my hands in the air. "Luke, if I needed a protective older brother you'd be the first one I'd call. But right now I need a friend." I said, trying to keep my hair down as we pulled up to the Lockwood residence.
"Fine, but don't come running to me when they won't leave you alone. You know they're a sucker for women who dress like that... Were you tryin to get their attention or somethin?" He asked, putting the car in park.
