'Why am I doing this? Why am I not still inside enjoying the party? Why do I always push guys away?'
'Trust issues. You even keep your friends at a distance.'
'Why am I talking to myself?'
'Don't act like you don't enjoy it.'
She found her hurried, angry steps slowing and softening. By the time she reached the bottom step of Alexander's house she felt all her anger dissipate. 'What are you running away from?' Alexander's words whispered through her mind. Bending to sit on the step beneath her, Alliyah released a deep sigh. Feeling the warm autumn breeze ghost across her skin, she closed her eyes and deeply inhaled. A startled exhale released feeling something fall on her shoulders. Looking up she found Alexanders eyes descending and his heat engulfing her as he sat on the steps behind her. Hearing trails of the music from the party she snuggled deeper into his jacket, breathing in his scent and allowing his heat to warm her.
Both inhaling and releasing an "I'm sorry."
Surprised, Alliyah turned towards him. "Why are you sorry? I should be the one apologizing for the way I acted."
"I acknowledge that I came on really strong. I'm ridiculously attracted to you, but I want to get to know you. Will you give me another chance?"
"How could I say 'no' with the way you're looking at me like a lost puppy? That and the gentle face caresses your laying on me right now." Alliyah stated while giggling.
A bark of laughter rushed from Alexander before he replied, "You caught me, this is my game."
When her giggling subsided, she paused, contemplating her next words. "I am sorry as well. I shouldn't have been so rude."
"Well, as we've both waved our white flags and come to a truce, can you handle my groping? I can't help it, I just really like touching you."
Throwing her head back in laugher, Alliyah managed a "Yes" in response.
Grabbing her hands and lifting her to her feet, Alexander turned and headed back up the stairs to his home. Once inside, he led her through the crowd and up the floating stairs to the second floor. Making a left down the hall, Alliyah caught glimpses of family pictures. Noticing at the start there were pictures of Alexander as he progressively decreased in age the further along the hall they went. Her hand jarred him to a stop as she stood in front of a photo of him, who she assumed were his parents, and another boy who looked a few years older than him. "Who's that?" Alliyah asked, while pointing to the other boy.
Coming to stand behind her, and wrapping his arms around her waist, Alexander groaned feeling her ass press into his semi-hard cock. I swear, around her he will never be flaccid. He thought to himself before looking at who Alliyah was pointing to. "My older brother." He said, before taking her hand and pulling her behind him again towards his bedroom.
"I noticed there are lots of pictures of you, but I don't see any pictures of him other than that one. How come?"
Upon reaching his bedroom door Alexander paused and turned to her. "He decided he didn't want to be a part of our family anymore and left. So, my parents took down the other pictures of him."
"Oh...but why?"
"Why, what?"
"Why didn't he want to be a part of your family anymore?"
Sighing and resting his head against his door Alexander stared at Alliyah for a moment before responding. 'Should I tell her the truth? No, not yet.' "I don't know." He stated while shrugging. "I guess he and our parents didn't always see eye-to-eye. He made a choice that they couldn't accept and so they asked him to leave and he happily did so."
