Naked Day Dreams

Emily's POV " Hey midget, when are you ever going to grow?" my big brother Josh asked messing up my hair. I groaned, why does he have to alway embarrass me in front of his friends, I was just trying to get some pizza " I am NOT a midget. I'm a perfectly reasonable height for a girl. Just because your a goofy giant doesn't mean you can call me a midget" I huffed at him running my fingers through my hair angrily. The truth is I am pretty short, especially when comparing my 5'2" height to his 6' 3" height. " Leave the girl alone J, she'll hit puberty eventually after all this is a big year for her. She gets her braces off and starts high-school." My brother's best friend Zack punched him in the arm. My cheeks burned from embarrassment. " Thanks a**hole!" I snapped at him throwing down my pizza and running for the stairs to hiding in my room before anyone could see me get upset. I slammed the door to my room and stood in front of my mirror. In case you haven't figured it out I have a really bad crush on my brother's best friend Zack. He and Josh have been friends since they were in third grade and they're 19 now. When we were younger my brother never wanted me to play with them but Zack always included me and made Josh be nice to me. He hit puberty early and it was definitely kind to him. Both him and my brother were star football players all through their middle school and high-school career earning them a full athletic scholarship to college. Zack stood 6'4" with an incredibly built physique. He had dark hair, flawless skin with perfectly dimpled smile, and prettiest midnight blue eyes. As I stood in front the mirror I couldn't help but notice he was right, I still had a little girl body. I barely had any boobs and absolutely no curves. My grandma always tells me I'm too skinny even though I eat like a horse, At least my braces will be coming off soon. I thought about the kinds of girls Zack has dated. I don't think he'll ever be interested in a girl like me I could never look like that. I remembered his last girlfriend Brittany never missed an opportunity to rub her voluptuous figure in my face and remind me that he'll never see me any other way. I could feel myself start to cry and I flung myself in my bed burying my face in my pillows. I heard someone knock on my door but I didn't feel like talking to anyone so I ignored it. A couple minutes went by and I heard the door open. " Can I come in little pixie?" It was Zack. He's called me that since I was 4. I was obsessed with being a fairy like Tinkerbell but he said I was too much of a trouble maker so I was a pixie instead. I didn't answer, I didn't want him to know I was crying. I could hear him sigh and then I felt the bed dip under his weight as he sat next to me setting down a slice of pizza on my night stand. He rubbed my back. " Pixie don't let your bother get to you. There's nothing wrong with how your growing. You'll get there one day don't worry." He tried to comfort me. I couldn't hold in the loud sob that raked me. " Hey look at me," he pulled me up by my arms so I sat next to him. I frantically tried to wipe the tears as I hid my face in my hands. He gently grabbed my chin and tilted me to look at him. " I mean it," He told me. I know he was just trying to make me feel better so I gave him a small smile. "I think your beautiful just the way you are," he said. Just not beautiful enough for you I thought. Oh well, he's leaving for college in 2 days so I guess I can pretend I'm ok for now. I smiled at him and he smiled back pulling me into a hug and kissing my forehead. I snuggled into his chest savoring his embrace. If only he knew how I felt about him but I can never tell him because he'll never see me as anything but his awkward little sister.
