The Unknown

Sean

The girls' room

"Please tell me you're not seriously considering going out with him, Stacey. He's such a douche." I'm referring to this kid named Sean. He graduated last year and he has a reputation for being a total dick. A real love 'em & leave 'em type, always on the lookout for his next conquest.

There's even a rumor that senior year he knocked a girl up and then bragged about screwing the receptionist at the clinic while she was getting the abortion. He is one of those guys who's totally hot and unfortunately, he knows it so he treats girls like shit because he knows he can get away with it. There's too many girls with low self-esteem willing to be treated like garbage by guys like Sean, just for the chance to be seen on his arm and hang with his crowd. I don't want my sister to be one of them.

"I can honestly say, Lisa, that I'm not considering dating Sean," Stacey replies smirking.

"That's because you already are. Right, cuz?" Julie gives Stacey a knowing look.

"I mean just look at him." Stacey shows us a shirtless selfie Sean sent to her phone.

"He is one tasty snack," Carrie says, surprising all of us with her lingering look at Sean's pic.

"Whoa! Where did that come from sis?" I ask Carrie, still in shock by her response. Carrie blushes embarrassed by the attention we're giving her and sheepishly shrugs her shoulders.

"It's always the quiet ones," Julie says shaking her head, smiling at Carrie.

"Can we get back to the matter at hand please?" I ask. "That is, if Carrie's done drooling over Stacey's loverboy."

"He's not my lover. Well, not yet anyway. From your lips to God's ears. Am I right, ladies?" Stacey looks to us for support of her lewd fantasy. She's not getting any encouragement from the three of us. "Really? No one? Come on! You can't deny he's gorgeous. Look how chiseled the boy is." Stacey holds out her phone again.

Sean and I met through his younger brother at an end of the year party he was throwing at their house. When he introduced us, there was an instant connection. We couldn't take our eyes off each other the entire night, even though we were both there with other people. Because of that, we didn't really get to talk that night but his brother gave me his Snap so we started messaging soon after.

  Aside from the obvious reason I was attracted to Sean, his killer looks, there was something about him that just drew me in closer. He was forbidden fruit and I desperately wanted to take a bite. I can't explain why but I really wanted to be near him and get to know him, not just physically either. I mean who wouldn't want that? Look at the boy for chrissake.

I knew his reputation better than anyone but I sensed a loneliness behind his gorgeous face and smokin' hot body. He was danger personified. What was I sayin' before the hormones took over? Oh yeah, I felt a kinship. We were two misunderstood souls destined to meet and fall in love, or something less Romeo & Juliet or fairytale worthy.

I wanted to tame this wild stallion and by God, I was willing to die trying. I couldn't blame my sisters for wanting to protect me but they just didn't understand how I felt about Sean. I've never felt this way about a guy before.

I continue to scroll through my Sean pics.

"Let me see." Carrie rushes over to check them out.

"Down girl." I give Carrie a disapproving look. "You're not supposed to encourage her. What's got you so hot an' bothered anyway?"

"Relax, guys. I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself," Stacey says, without taking her eyes off her phone. She's still scrolling through pictures and showing Carrie and Julie the juicy ones.
