After Ace's little appearance at my job, I was feeling like I was on cloud nine. I thought it would be weird acting so whatever to him. I admit a part of me was hoping he was there because he changed his mind and was coming out for my birthday. The second I saw his sexy ass dressed in a navy suit I knew that was for his father and not me.
Not that I wanted him to dress up for me. It's just that we never went anywhere that would require anything that fancy. Damn did he look like a god though. It made being angry at him hard, but flirting became second nature. Weird how one day you realize how handsome your best friend is and then all kinds of sexy innuendo start rolling off your tongue.
"What the fuck Alley! Why didn't you tell us it was your birthday?" Katie was looking really pissed as she spoke.
"I don't know. Everything has been really messed up lately and I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it." I said, trying to hide my sadness.
Derek gave me his big brother smile "It's ok Alley. I know it's not how you thought it would be and definitely not like every other year, but we should still celebrate."
"Yes! We need to go all out. I say dinner tonight then we throw a party at my house. A party that Ace isn't invited to." Layla suggested with the cutest most devilish smile.
"Party at your house? Will there be alcohol and no adult supervision?" Derek asked, putting his arm around Layla.
I swear that boy didn't know how to give up. Layla was taking immense pleasure in teasing him, so I just laughed at them. She didn't like guys groping her or assuming she would give it up, but she said it was different with Derek. She knew he would not cross the line with her especially since I threatened many times, I would remove his balls. She soaked up all the attention and didn't have to spread her legs. Win win in her eyes. It was a little mean to let her blue ball my brother, but he made it obvious that he found someone else easy enough to take care of it.
We went to an upscale Sushi place and laughed the whole night. It was honestly one of the best nights I ever had. Even Derek seemed to be having fun with just us girls. We planned all the details out for a party at Layla's and Derek was on board to play interference with Ace.
It would be next to impossible to have a party and the most popular boy not to find out about it, but we could try. At the very least it would make him feel like crap he wasn't even invited to my party.
It seemed like everyone was different come Monday at school. The boys still kept their distance, but everyone was finally forgetting to totally avoid me. I didn't care anymore anyway. I had Derek, Layla, Katie, and stalker Christian. I really needed to figure out what to do with Christian.
Derek was able to find out that the following weekend Christian had dinner plans with his father, so we moved the party then and I was giddy at the idea of throwing my own party at Layla's. A party that doesn't involve someone staring at me the whole time or dragging me to his car in tears. I didn't like fighting with Christian, but I wasn't going to let him control me like that either.
By the end of the week, it seemed like everything that happened at the Lake finally died out. Chris even spoke to me a little. He was sure to keep a very safe distance though. Not that I minded all that much as I never like his stupid comments of sweet ass anyway.
I was trying to decide on pizza, nachos, or meatloaf for lunch today admiring how much things had changed in just a few days. I felt someone come up behind me and I turned to meet his gaze. This boy was absolutely delicious, and I couldn't help but wonder if I could just have him for lunch. I could tell he was from the upper side of town so that meant sexy player, but I could still have my fun.
"I would recommend pizza. It's the least disgusting choice." He spoke smiling down at me.
"Hmm, I was thinking about ordering something else, but I don't see it on the menu." I replied, eyeing him from his eyes to his lips. His thin lips turned up in a smile at my comment and I could see the desire in his eyes. Boys are so easy.
It was my turn in line, but before I could speak the boy ordered two pizzas then turned to me. "Can I buy you lunch?"
"I think you already assumed I would say yes." I gave him an unimpressed look as he held two plates of pizza.
"Sorry, I was getting nervous so, I thought to try the overly confident dick approach. I can get you something else if you like." He replied sweetly. I chuckled from his confession unsure how to answer. "Or I can just leave you alone if that's better." He added placing the pizza on my tray.
"Mmm, not sure. The overly confident dick was kind of hot, but the sweet, charming boy is fucking edible." I bit my bottom lip as his eyes widened the more I spoke. I love how boys were so surprised by the words that left my mouth.
"Edible is good. Better then sexy... I think... right?" He really was trying the confident guy and failed miserably. It was actually really cute.
"Right." I chuckled "I'm Alley."
"Ethan," he replied following me to my seat. Layla shot me a glare asking who's the hottie, but I just shrugged my shoulders innocently.
Ethan was just over 6ft with broad shoulders and a thin waist. I'm not sure if he had abs going on under the shirt, but he definitely had muscles. His golden hair was a little long on top and shaved on the sides matching perfectly with his deep blue eyes. He had the hot rich boy look down nicely.
"These are my friends, Layla and Katie." I introduced them to Ethan.
He was polite and well spoken, saying hi then asking questions. I think he was truly interested in getting to know us. It was weird that I felt like he was just being friendly and not trying to get in my pants.
He was interested in me, but it wasn't stupid sexual comments or assumptions I would fall at his feet. He gave me these cute puppy dog eyes instead of the lustful I'm picturing you naked eyes.
"Hey Ethan, you are actually here today. What's up bro." Chris said sliding in the seat next to him.
"Coach gave me a pass to actually be a teenager today and luckily for me I met my date for Friday night." Ethan replied winking at me.
"Oh, who's the unfortunate girl. She is going to be so bored trying to compete with your ego all night." I said with a satisfied smile resting my head on my hand. I loved messing with boys.
"Fuck bro don't mess with that one. She's Derek's little sister and Christian's little slave." Chris whispered to Ethan, but loud enough for me to hear.
"Slave, fuck face. You want to know what an actual broken jaw feels like?" I spat at Chris.
"Chill Alley, I just meant he owns you. I mean controls you... Controls who can talk to you." Chris had pleading eyes at me then looked around.
"Owns me. You think Christian fucking Ace douche bag owns me?" I noticed Chris getting more nervous as he continued to look around and I noticed the lunchroom was silent. All eyes were on us and no other than Varsity dipshit was behind Chris.
"You touch him Ace, and I promise you will regret it." I shot Christian a look that said don't fuck with me.
Christian's hand was grabbing the back of Chris' shirt but then lowered his hand gently on his shoulder. "Just coming over to see what all the fuss was about."
"Well let's see. What is all the fuss about? Oh, right it seems your little stunt the other weekend at the lake has people thinking I'm your slave or that you own me. So why don't you set the record straight, Ace." I got up from my seat without breaking eye contact. "Do you fucking own me?"
Christian cleared his throat struggling with his own control. I noticed his grip tightened on Chris' shoulder making him nearly pee his pants "No Alley, no one fucking owns you. I was just seeing if you needed help."
"If I need help, I'll ask someone else, now fuck off." My eyes never once left his.
Derek came and sat next to me. "I'll sit with my sister, Ace."
I gave Derek a vile look that said I didn't approve of him getting involved but it softened quickly. He was just trying to diffuse another scene from unfolding plus he is my big brother.
Christian let go off Chris then turned to Ethan looking at him, surprisingly. "Hey what's up. I see coach let you out of training for once."
"Yeah... it seems I've missed a lot this past month." Ethan replied nervously, slapping hands with him.
"Leave now! Ethan was finally getting enough balls to ask me out and you're ruining it." I said to Christian, and Ethan's face lit up with a smile.
"Fuck Alley Cat your mouth just keeps going." Derek was now rubbing his temples.
"It's fine, I'm leaving." Christian gave me one last look then walked away. What his problem was I don't know but I was damn sure everyone would know he didn't fucking own me.
As the rest of the week passed it proved that our little scene in the lunchroom not only worked but somehow made me the most feared person in school. I guess having Ace as my psycho bodyguard turned out to be in my favor. The girls hated me even more, but they wouldn't dare show it. In fact, it was getting annoying how much they wanted to please me now. Well, all the girls except a few senior sluts who didn't like the attention I was getting.
Derek was also surprisingly cool with Ethan asking me out and it even seemed like they were somewhat friends. I found out that he competed in swim and track not only for our school but in other leagues so he was barely around. He only took classes needed to graduate and the rest of the time was spent training. Since he was a real athlete, he didn't do drugs and barely drank. Seemed like I found a guy I might actually like to do more than just tease.

"Do you think this says let's end the night with a kiss or drag me to a dark corner and fuck me." I asked my friends, pivoting side to side in a short red dress. I knew I looked hot, but didn't want to look easy. Damn Christian for making me think every time I wore a skirt meant I wanted sex.
"Babe that definitely says fuck me, but you look hot as hell. If Ethan doesn't understand boundaries, then he deserves the blue balls." Katie replied eyeing up my ass. I was beginning to think she had a thing for my butt. Always slapping it imitating what I supposedly wanted from Christian.
She was so wrong though. I just wanted that boy to start respecting me. Maybe even be my friend again. Although I had to admit there were moments that I lost myself in his devil eyes and sexy body. I wanted to push him so far that he would force his dominance over me. Wow! I really need to stop reading those stupid erotica novels. My head is not ok.
I noticed I was staring a little too long at myself in the mirror while caressing my thighs. I definitely had needs that needed to be taken care of and soon. Katie just wiggled her eyebrows and slapped my ass knowing exactly where my mind went. I shooed her away and wanted to get back on topic. What to wear for my date tonight?
"I don't know maybe a little too much. I mean it's a simple dinner and movie date with a nice guy. I say keep it fun and relaxed. Jeans and cute little t-shirt but hair down in curls with black eyeliner to make your gorgeous eyes pop." Layla added.
I checked my ass out one more time. Damn it was nice, especially in this dress, but Layla was right. Ethan was the only guy not trying to rip my clothes off. "Ok, fun and relaxed this time, sexy, fuck me, dress next time."
"Ooo, a second date. That soon. I didn't know you were so eager to lose your virginity." Katie wagged her eyebrows at me moving to smack my ass again. That girl had a serious boundary issue with my butt.
"I'm not saying all that, but I definitely could use some attention. I've been back over 2 months and all I've got so far is kissing two boys at the Lake to piss off Christian. A girl got needs." I slipped off my dress and pulled on a pair of dark jeans with a few tears. As I was pulling a shirt on Derek came bursting into my room.
I really needed to start locking that door.
"Whoa Alley. Why the fuck are you always half naked?" Derek said with Christian standing behind him. His eyes never left my body, and it was making me feel a little heated.
We barely spoke the past few weeks, but I know for sure the sexual tension was increasing. I know he never want me that way or at least wouldn't cross that line, but damn was my mind turning into a filthy slut every time he was around.
"Maybe try knocking before coming into my room and you won't keep walking in on me changing, perv."
"Whatever. Why can't I walk in on Layla changing?" Derek commented, picking up the red dress I had just taken off. "What is this? Layla, want to try this on? I'll take you some place worth wearing it too." Derek asked grinning at her.
"No, she doesn't dick face, and for your information this dress gets more than a tour of your bedroom. Something you have no idea about." I said, grabbing the dress from him and putting it back in my closet.
I kept stealing glances at Christian as he stood in the doorway never taking his eyes off me. I guess we were still pretending we aren't friends. It didn't matter though I wasn't getting lost in the sexy jerk that is Ace rabbit hole.
I pushed Derek out which also pushed Christian into the hallway then closed my door and locked it.
"I was coming in there for a reason." Derek said through the door.
"Sorry, changing, can't come in. Go away!"
"Seriously Alley, open the door."
I opened the door a few inches and stood at the opening not letting them in. "What do you want?"
"You're not going to let me in?"
"Nope and in 3 seconds I'm going to close the door in your face again."
"Fine. I just wanted to make sure everything was still the same for tonight. Straight to movies, then dinner, then home. No other detours, no other plans, and home by ten."
"Yes Dad! Ethan is aware of your psycho overprotectiveness, and I'll be home by midnight."
"11:00 no arguing."
"Midnight and if you say another word, I won't come home at all and let Ethan devour me all night."
"You know I was thinking maybe we could catch that new romcom flick tonight then head over to The Shore restaurant to grab some food. What do you think Derek?" Christian finally spoke, to only Derek of course, but still managed to be a total asshole, as usual.
"You dare crash my date and I'll kill you both in your sleep." I said glaring at Christian, but he just kept looking at Derek with a smile.
"Fine midnight but if you're a minute late we are going hunting for Ethan's dick." Derek replied
"Ewe that sounds more like a gay thing then a threat dip shit." I replied with a scrunched face to my total push over for a brother.
"Whatever midnight and no funny business." Derek said walking away.
"Dude, you suck at giving orders." Christian said to him as they walked downstairs.
