My Brother's Bestfriend Is My Mate

Nox

It had been a few hours, and I could hear people start to come in. I decided I was going to quickly go and have a shower, before too many people came and I couldn't even manage to use the toilet.

I got my pyjama shorts out of my dresser and a vest top and I had myself a shower.

I couldn't be bothered joining the party now, even if Alex asked me to, I wasn't in the mood. I was just going to shower, get tucked into bed and watch whatever romantic films I could find on the TV.

As I finish showering I start to dry myself and someone's already knocking on the door. I could swear I was about ten minutes.

"One minute." I shouted to the knocker, as I tried to get dressed as quickly as possible.

The door cracks open and I push my body into it shouting again, "One minute, please" as I finished dressing, I opened the door to find myself crashing into an enormous chest. As I hit the floor, I looked up to see Nox staring at me.

He had a certain charm to him.

"Sorry, the bathrooms are free now."

"I didn't need the bathroom."

"Why were you knocking then?"

"Axton asked me to ask you if you needed anything. Here, let me help you up." Nox looked me up and down and smirked.

I felt awkward as I watched his eyes lingering over me, over my breasts.

"What is it? What are you looking at?" I look down searching, looking for something wrong.

"No, nothing. You should really put a bra on when there are people in your house."

"Oh, oh... Well, don't look then." I told him as I stood up very quickly and folded my arms.

"They're hard to miss." He commented. I felt my whole face turn bright red as shied away from him, walking to my bedroom as fast as I could without running.

"Well?" I heard him call, as he stepped towards me.

"What?" I asked him, puzzled as I turned around to face him.

"What did you want?" He asked.

"I, well, I, Erm, I don't want anything from you?" I was so confused. What was he asking of me?

"Snack wise? Axton sent me?"

I was left speechless for a few seconds before it jogged my memory. He had left me completely baffled.

"I'm good, thanks. I haven't touched the food I brought up earlier."

"Okay, I'll check on you later." he said as he walked away. I stood there for a moment, puzzled. Why would he be coming to check on me later?

"What do you mean?" I asked as he walked away.

He didn't reply. Classic Nox. Honestly, sometimes I thought he liked me back. I had managed to convince myself that he did, and then other times I really do feel like I'm that annoying little sister, dying for approval. I hated not knowing where I stood with him, but if I had to bet money on it, I would say he sees me as the annoying little sister.

I went back into my room and dried my hair. I checked my boobs in the mirror, because why wouldn't I? After what had just happened, I was curious.

After glancing for a little bit, I couldn't find anything special.

I laid down on my bed and began flicking through movies to watch, just thinking about how we would be if we were together. I know I sound like a school girl, with a schoolgirl crush, but I didn't understand him. Sometimes, I could swear he liked me like I liked him, and then other times, I felt like he just tolerated me, and was annoyed by me. Boys are complicated.

I picked a random movie and starred blankly into the screen, I wasn't paying much attention really. I heard a knock on that door.

I forgot that Nox was coming to "Check up on me".

I opened the door to find him standing there, Alex was behind him, going towards the bathroom.

"Make sure the prison guard has taken your name, before I have any visitation." I yelled at him.

"Grow up." He shouted back as he slammed the door to the bathroom.

"What do you want?" I asked Nox coldly. He looked shocked but shrugged it off as he barged past me and made himself feel at home in my room.

"Do you want anything from downstairs?" He asked me, pausing the movie.

"No, I'm okay. You could have asked me that while you stood at the door." I told him. He looked at me and shook his head.

"You're mad at Alex, not me." He said, harshly.

"I can be mad at who I want, and I'm mad at the pair of you." I told him.

"I didn't do anything." He said defensively and angrily.

"You were the one that made a comment about me." I raised my Eyebrows.

"Oh, don't be mad that I made a compliment." He said, still angry.

"That's the worst compliment I've heard." I jokingly told him.

"Oh, really?" He said as he stood up from the bed and walked towards me. Shocked at first, I took a few steps back until I hit the wall, and Nox got closer and closer.

"What compliment should I have given you?" He asked me, licking his lips, looking me up and down. A look, I wasn't so comfortable with.

"I didn't mean it like that." I said, trying not to look at him, with those beautiful blue eyes, and that cheeky grin.

"Would you Rather I called you beautiful? Or gorgeous?" He asked me.

I looked up at him, and got lost in those beautiful eyes of his, If aftershave smelled so nice, it was intoxicating, envigorating, I just wanted to smell him, to take a deep inhale of his scent, but that's weird. I couldn't bring my voice to speak. I could only blush looking at him. I felt my cheeks turn bright red, and they felt scorching hot but freezing cold at the same time.

He put one finger to my chin and lifted my head up to look back at him, and there I was, staring in his eyes. I felt my heart beating rapidly. He stroked my cheek with his hand and smiled, he flashed that perfect pearly white smile. Everything about him made me want to let him take me there and there.

He leaned in close to me, until his mouth was level with my ear.

"Kiss me." He demanded. A demand I want nothing more but to do it. I froze. I didn't do a thing. I looked at him taken aback. I just kept starring at his gorgeous eyes.

He took two steps back and my door burst open. Alex walked through my bedroom.

"What's going on?" He looked at me curiously and then to Nox. He kept shifting his eyes back and forth between us.

"I was asking AJ If she wanted some snacks." He replied, as if there was nothing more to it.

"Alright." Alex said quite unsurely.

Nox started walking out of the bedroom and I couldn't fathom what had just happened.

Alex waited for him to leave and closed the door, shutting us both in.

"What happened?" He asked me, with a tone.

"What do you mean?" I asked starring at him puzzedly.

"What did he do to you, say to you?" Alex asked quickly.

"He didn't do or say anything, Axton asked him to ask me if I wanted something to eat or drink. See, as your prisoner, I have to eat and drink SOMETHING and so every time you throw one of these piece of s**t parties, Axton brings me some food up, so I don't starve to death and wither away, like any decent brother would do. See, you think you can lock me away and hide me from your friends, girlfriends, or whatever, and just forget that I'm here. I'm like a huge issue for you. Newsflash, I'm going to be in your life for as long as you live, and you're the only person who has a problem with it. No one else cares but you. No one. So leave me alone. I'm good for snacks thanks. I couldn't possibly eat anymore. I'll be classed as obese by the time I turn 18 just because of all the f*****g parties you ban me from! " I screamed at him and caught myself shoving him out the door. I hadn't even realised I was slowly walking him out of the door during my rant.

I had no idea why I did that. I don't know where my rage came from, but if I had to guess, I'd say it is all the years of being shoved to one side by Alex, the anger just built up inside of me and I finally had enough.

See, it's just the four of us living here. Mum and dad died a few years ago. My brothers somehow convinced my Aunt and Uncle (Our guardians) to let us live alone and that we would be safe. My brothers raised me, practically. Our parents were very wealthy people.

My Aunt and Uncle were more than happy to let us do our own thing, they checked in a few times a month to make sure we were feeding ourselves and looking after the house and everything, and they make sure we did a good food shop and stock up on supplies.

Alex and I used to be so close, and then he's just distanced himself, like he's ashamed of me.

I lay on my bed thinking about Alex and why I said what I said and did what I did, I'll apologize tomorrow. He'd kill me if I interrupted his party now.

My eyes got heavy and my body fell relaxed, and I fell asleep.
