My brother's best mate Elliot, is a mountain of a man. He works out every single day and has arm muscles that even Dwayne Johnson would be proud of. Needless to say, i've had a thing for him since I was in high school. Me being a curvy size 16, I have never had the balls to try anything with him. I'm now 21 and I still wouldn't mind having a crack at him, but I have always thought that a guy like that would never give me the time of day.
I only live a couple of houses away from my brother, not by choice, and see him every few days so he can eat me out of house and home. Sometimes Elliot comes with him and we lounge around and watch a movie or have a few drinks.
This one afternoon started just like that.
My brother and Elliot came over for some reason or other and we ended up knocking back a few beers. I'm pretty lightweight when it comes to drinking so I was a little tipsy after only a few. The liquid courage must have kicked in because I started finding excuses to touch Elliot's shoulders and back.
He didn't seem to upset by that so I started resting my hand on him for longer periods of time. My brother, who was outdrinking us 2:1, hadn't noticed my excessive handling and was ready to hit the clubs. He asked me if I wanted to tag along with them but I declined the offer to go out and called them a taxi. Ten minutes later, they were gone.
Well that was the end of my fun and games.
I ended up calling it a night and washed my hair, showered and shaved my legs (which took me around an hour). After that I changed into my shorts and tank top and was finally ready to go to bed. Just before I turned in for the night, there was a knock at the door. Ten buck's says my stupid brother has lost his keys again and wants my spare set to get it, I thought to myself.
I opened the door ready to give him an earful.
My voice died in my throat.
Elliot!
