Special event

It was July, finally, we survived through the school year and now it was finally time to have the best summer of our lives.

It was the 15th of July when we had been invited to this ballroom where a business event was happening. Technically our mom was invited but of course she had to drag me and Alex with her, so we went.

I wore a gorgeous silk white dress up to my knees that I loved and it was perfect for the occasion and weather due to it being incredibly hot. Once we got there, there were all sorts of people that looked formal, I even got compliments on how beautiful I was, mom was proud to call me hers. Alex not so much since he just through on a white dress shirt and sweatpants.

As the night went on I couldn't help but feel myself getting more bored with the time passing, mom was talking to business people, I was at the nearby drink bar and Alex... Alex was nowhere. I couldn't help but go look for him, t wasn't like I had anything better to do.

Once I went outside the ballroom filled with people I saw some boys smoking... those boys being my brother and... no... Atlas. God this dude was everywhere. I went over to them and threw the cigarette out of Alex's mouth.

-"the hell do you think you're doing?"
-"go back inside" (Alex)
Even if I was younger, I still cared about my brother. I looked at Atlas who was simply looking at me with that stupidly cute smirk...he was trouble I'll admit.

"What's he doing here?" I ask my brother
"I was bored so I called him over to hang out with him"
I looked at both of them angrily for smoking... they didn't allow me to smoke but they could? Assholes.

I spent about 10 minutes outside with them before I heard mom calling Alex inside the ballroom, leaving me with Atlas... how lovely. The tension was there.. I didn't like it... but at the same time I did. I could see his eyes travelling up and down my dress, taking in my body that was behind it.
-"you know, out of all the girls I've seen here tonight, you're the most beautiful" he whispers in my ear as if almost in a joking and teasing way, but I felt the seriousness in it... he meant it. I just looked at him with my like parted in shock slightly and my eyebrows raised as I press my tongue against the side of me cheek trying to process what he had just said, my cheeks getting hotter as a blush was creeping on it... what was happening to me?! Off boundaries! Remember?

After he said that he give me one of those cheeky winks and began to walk to the gates of the ballroom to leave. No no no, I hated him, right?
