I woke up to my stomach grumbling.

I fell sleep after I meet my new neighbors.

I went to my closet and changed into my running clothes.

I jogged down stairs and walked into the living room where my father was.

He was talking to a middle aged man and a younger man as they watched the soccer game.

"Hello?" I said shyly.

"Alexandra, this is Jake Johnson and his son Frank, Jake, Frank this is my daughter Alexandra," my dad said.

"Nice to meet you," They said.

"Likewise, where's mom?" I asked.

"She's outside with the others," my dad said.

I nodded my head and walked to the backdoor.

I walked outside, where my mom was.

She was talking to Finn's mom and another girl. The girl was sitting on the chair near the pool in her bikini.

"Mom?" I asked as I made my way over to them.

"Yes dear?"

"I'm going for a run, um, I'll be back soon,"

"Okay, dear. Have you meet Jake and Frank?"

I nodded my head.

"Good, this is Sandy and Jake's daughter, Kelly,"

I waved to her and she waved back with a smiled.

"They're going to join us for dinner," my mom continued.

"Sounds wonderful," I lied.

"Indeed," my mom said as a slash came from the pool. I looked over to where the slash came from and there was Finn.

He swam over to Kelly. "How long was that?"

"Two minutes and seventeen seconds," she said with a board voice.

"I can do better," he said getting out of the pool. He shook his head and Kelly screamed.

"Stop, your getting me all wet you jerk,"

"You're such a baby," he chuckled as he grabbed his towel.

I stared at the work of art before me.

Finn's body was amazing.

His tanned wet skin seemed to glow in sunlight and his abs and muscles moved when he moved in perfect harmony.

"Hey ladies and Alex," he said walking over to us.

I snapped out of my daydream and crossed my arms over my chest. "Funny. I'm leaving,"

"Bye," I heard as I walked back inside the house.

As soon as my feet hit the pavement I began to run at a steady pace.

I turned up my music and turned down the world.

****

I walked home and inside the house where everyone was talking.

"Hey," I said out of breath.

"Alexandra, get ready for dinner it's almost ready,"

"Okay," I said opening my water bottle as I paced around.

"There's a dress on the bed for you,"

"Alright mother," I said heading up stairs.

I walked to the bathroom and closed the door.

Then I turned on the water and took off my sweaty clothes. I stepped into the shower and started to wash the sweat off of me.

Shortly after I turned off the water and reached for my towel.

It wasn't there.

I opened the curtain, to look for my towel, once I poked my head out I was shocked to see a smirking Finn.

"Hey, looking for something," he asked taking my towel from behind his back.

"Give it back," I said trying to stay calm.

"Come and get it,"

"You wish,"

"I do," he winked.

I felt myself blush. "Please Finn,"

"Nah,"

"Ugh," I sighed.

I grabbed the small towel by the shower and wrapped that around my chest. It stopped at the top on my thigh.

I slowly stepped out of the shower holding the towel in place.

"I'm out, happy?" I said as Finn's eyes roamed my half naked body.

I walked over to him slowly and pushed him against the door.

I pushed my body against his and ran my hand up and down his chest.

"Towel please," I whispered in his ear.

I heard him gulp and shake his head no.

"Please?" I begged pushing my body against his harder. I bit his ear and whispered. "Please,"

I looked Finn in the eyes and got chills.

I felt myself leaning in and Finn did the same.

Our lips met and moved together as one.

Finn held me close to him and wrapped his hand around my waist.

The kiss was soft and slow unlike our first kiss, which was fast and rough.

I grabbed my towel from Finn's hands and pulled away.

"Out," I said opening the door and pushing him out.

I closed the door and pressed my back against it.

"That didn't happen," I told myself.

I walked over to the bathroom mirror and looked at my hair. The black was starting to poke through.

Maybe I should just dye it back.

Anyway, I changed into the pink sundress my mom picked out for me and did my hair and make up.

I headed down stairs to join everyone.

They were in the living room talking about something unimportant I bet.

Kelly and Frank were talking with Finn who seemed out of it.

"Hey guys," I smiled.

"Oh hey Alexandra," Kelly said.

"You look pretty," Frank added.

"Thanks and call me Alex, please,"

They laughed. "Do you know Finn from school?" asked Frank

"Yeah, we have a weird relationship," I looked at Finn when I said that. He smirked and winked at me.

"Dinners ready," my mom announced.

We all made our way over to the dinner table.

I sat across from Finn and next to Kelly and Frank.

I didn't talk much and neither did Finn.

I did find out more about his family.

Finn is the youngest of his family.

Kelly is the middle child and she's in her three year of college. Where she goes to school is near by so she lives at home. Frank on the other hand just finished college and is living at home.

I also found out that Finn was an ugly duckling. He never used to be so attractive.

Not that I think his attractive, other people might but I don't.

Anyway, the Johnson family left after dinner and I headed to my room and went to bed.

*****

The next day after church I went to the mall to get my hair color back. The blond is killing me.

My mom took me there and helped pay for it.

Two hours later my mom bought me new clothes and I had black hair again.

I am now in my room in my underwear painting. I don't know why but I'm more creative half naked.

There was a knock on my room door. "Come in,"

"Hey Alex," Frank said walking in my room. Once he saw me he blushed and looked away. "Sorry,"

"Its fine," I said pulling on my clothes. "I thought you were my mom. What's up?"

"Kelly, Finn and I are going to the movies, want to go?"

"What movie?"

"Saw 3,"

"Yeah, I'll go,"

"Cool, I'll see you down stairs,"

"Yup," I said as I walked over to my closet.

I changed into an old pair of skinny jeans and a tee shirt.

I ran my fingers through my hair and slipped on my flip flops and head down stairs.

"Mom," I called.

"Yes?"

"I'm going to the movies with Frank, Kelly and Finn,"

"Okay, have fun,"

"I will," I said leaving the house.

I walked across the street to Frank's car and got in.

"Hey," I said,

"Hey," everyone but Finn said.

Frank drove off and in fifteen minutes we were at the movie theater.

Kelly ordered our tickets while Frank got our popcorn.

"Nice hair," Finn said to me as we found our seats.

"Thanks," I said sitting next to Kelly and Finn sat down next to me.

The movie started and I tried not to pay attention to Finn.

Somewhere in the movie I got scared. I screamed at every little thing I saw.

I turned my head away hide behind Finn. He took my hand and laced our fingers together.

When the movie was over I came out of my hiding place and stood up, still holding Finn's hand.

We walked out of the theater together and to the parking lot.

Finn and I were still holding hands and Finn was close to me. I felt safe with him around me.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'll be okay, I forget how scary those movies are,"

He chuckled. "It's just a movie,"

"I know,"

"You're safe now," he whispered in my ear.

"I know," I whispered back.

"Alex,"

I jump and turned around. "Travis?"

"Yeah, what's up?" he asked walking over.

I let go of Finn's hand and walked over to him. "I'm just leaving,"

"What did you see?"

"Saw,"

"Nice, I'm seeing that now,"

"Cool,"

"So, um, do you have any raisins?"

"No," I laughed.

"How about a date?"

"To?"

"The Halloween dance next week,"

"Pick me up at seven,"

"Deal," Travis kissed me quickly on the lips and walked away.

I walked back to Finn and headed to the car.

Kelly and Frank joined us shortly after. Frank took us out to ice cream then drove us home.

Once I was home I got ready for bed and took out my unfinished homework.

I fell sleep somewhere in the middle of my home work and dreamt about Finn.
