the house, following closely behind me. I lead them into the living room, where all the guys were watching TV. Vlad was the first to see us.
“Who are your guests Alyssandra?” he asked, looking worried.
“Nathan and Chase,” I said motioning to a guy as I said his name.
“Hey guys,” Vlad said looking confused.
“Um, Ali? Where do you want us to put these?” Chase asked motioning to the bags.
“In the kitchen, right through there,” I said walking behind them to start on dinner.
“The bathroom is through that hall, second door on the left,” I said pointing.
Once the guys left to go change, Vlad walked into the kitchen.
“What the hell are those guys doing here?” Vlad demanded.
“We’re having a little party,” I said, nodding towards the beer and the wine on the counter.
“And you didn’t think to call me and tell me about this?”
“I thought about calling you, but seriously you need to stop treating me like a child. I'm 18!” I said glaring up at him.
Vlad just threw his hands up in the air and stormed out of the kitchen, just as the guys came back. And if you thought that they we’re hot with their clothes on, just wearing their swim trunks made them look drop-dead gorgeous! They both had perfect biceps and lick-able abs. I almost started drooling. The ring of a cell startled me out of my trance, making me jump. Nathan laughed and answered his cell. He walked out of the kitchen.
After I got dinner going, I went upstairs to change. I came down wearing only a tight red bikini. I was glad to see all of the guys’ eyes pop out of their sockets. I couldn’t help it, I started laughing.

So, Vlad Thinks I'm A Hoe... Right?

“That’s it!” Chase said and picked me up started jogging to the pool with me screaming and bouncing on his shoulder.
Chase attempted to throw me into the pool, but I kept a death grip around his neck, pressing my body into his. Then somebody pushed Chase and we both went into the pool. With my arms still around his neck, Chase pulled us up. I wrapped the legs tightly around his waist and clung to him for dear life.
We look around to see who pushed us in, but there were like 10guys standing there. Ugh they are impossible. Thank God that we were at the pretty much shallow end!
Just to piss all of the guys off, I started kissing Chase. At first it was nothing, but then he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer. He nibbled on my bottom lip, wanting entrance. I opened my mouth to him and he slipped his tongue in and deepened the kiss. I pulled away for some air and felt a light tug on my hair. I turn around and see Vlad standing in the pool, IN HIS JEANS!!
“God, are you crazy or something?” I ask him, motioning to his jeans.
“No, but I think that you are! Who the hell do you think you are?! Going around kissing some random strangers?!” he yelled.
“Ok, first of all, Chase is NOT some random stranger! And second of all, since when have you become like my dad? Last I checked Mom and Dad didn't care about me! They are in Mexico! They don’t give a fuck!!” I yelled at him.
I un-wrapped my legs from Chase’s waist and jumped off. I hoisted myself over the edge of the pool and ran inside as fast as I possibly could. I grabbed a towel from a closet and wrapped it around myself.
I ran up the stairs and into my room. I slammed the door shut as loud as I could and threw myself on the bed. I was not ganna cry! I told myself that over and over.
I finally got a hold of myself and thought, hey if Vlad is already mad at me and thinks I'm a hoe; why not just show him what he’s been missing while I was in Washington!?
I quickly ran to my closet and threw the doors open. I picked out a little red wrap and put it on. I looked in the mirror. I didn't look “hoe” enough for my brother to totally freak… yet!
I quickly applied heavy waterproof black eyeliner and my black waterproof mascara. I also applied some red lipstick and pulled my hair out of the ponytail.
I fluffed my blonde/dark brown hair, which was a little wavy after the water. It fell in soft waves down my back. NOW I looked totally ready to mess with Vlad!
I quietly walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where the cooler was with all the drinks. I opened it and took out a beer. I drank the whole bottle, then the second one. And the third, and the forth. My head was starting to feel a little numb and fuzzy. I was tipsy. PERFECT!
I grabbed another one and started walking towards the sliding doors to the outside pool where I could hear my brother still yelling at poor little Chase.
I was having a little trouble walking though. I guess I was a little more than just tipsy, but not drunk for sure.
Once I made it outside, I tipped the beer bottle back and drank half of it while everyone just watched me in silence. I walked into the middle of their little huddle and finished my beer. I threw the bottle against the side of the house and watched in shatter into a million pieces.
Everybody looked at the mess my bottle made then back to me.
“What are you all staring at?” I asked, my speech kind of slurred a little, but it was still good.
“A-a-are you drunk?” asked one of the guys I didn't know.
I turned around so fast that I staggered back a step. I felt someone put their arms around me to steady me. I didn't care who it was. I leaned into them and they smelled totally amazing! I leaned into whoever it was a little bit more and sighed. Whoever it was has a really nice stomach. I turned my lead a little so I could see who it was. It turned out to be one of my brother’s friends that I didn't know.
“Tristan, get your hands off of my baby sister!” I heard Vlad yell. Other than that it was completely silent out here. I just realized that I still didn't know any of the guys’ names. Besides Vlad, Kayden and now Tristan.
I felt the arms around me tighten a little bit and heard Tristan say,”she’s going to fall if I left her go.”
“Do you really think that I'm going to let my little baby sister fall?”
“No, that is exactly why you are going to let me take her up to her room and get her to lie down for a bit so she can sleep this off.”
“FINE. But then you are out of there as soon as her head hits the pillow! You got that?!”

Best Friends

Tristan took me up to my room then, and he literally carried me. Bridal style and all. It felt very nice to be in his muscular arms.

Once we got to the room, Tristan put me on my bed and starts to leave.

“Wait, don’t leave yet! I need your help,” I tell him.

“With what?” he snaps at me.

“Oh damn! Who got your Speedos in a twist?” I asked.

“Your bro, that’s who!”

“Eh don’t mind him; he doesn’t know who I am”

“Really? Well when he talked about you it seemed like you guys were pretty close.”

“Vlad talked about me? What? When?!”

“He used to tell us all kinds of stories about when you guys were kids and stuff.”

“Are you freakin’ kidding me right now?!”

“Whoa calm down! It wasn’t anything bad! Although he did tell us about the time you stripped
naked and danced in a window when you were like 3. Oh and the time when you literally started
drooling in class when you saw some hottie and he caught you and the whole class started laughing so you begged Vlad to drive you home when you were 14.” He chuckled lightly to himself while holding me down because I was trying to run downstairs to rip Vlad’s head off.

“Hey, hey, don’t worry. What he told us wasn’t all bad! He also told us about when his first love broke his heart and you stayed up with him all night and held him while he cried and the next morning you made him his fave food and served him breakfast in bed while you watched all his favorite movies with him…“

That sobered me up a lot. I remembered that little tramp Jessica very well. She used him just to get some other guy jealous so she strung Vlad along for 5 months then what’s-his-name finally noticed her and they got together leaving Vlad brokenhearted on the side of the road (literally).

“I can’t believe he told you guys all of that,” I thought out loud.

“Trust me he thinks very highly of you. He even told us that you are his best friend.”

“Hahaha that’s not true! He has you guys!”

“Ya, well we are the guys. You guys will be closer than any of us ever were.”

“And now he totally loves me cuz of what happened by the pool. Great!” I said sarcastically. “I
have to go talk to him.”

I tried to get off the bed but I completely fell on my ass right in front of Tristan.

“I think you should let the alcohol wear off a bit before you go running down the stairs and ending up in a hospital,” Tristan commented.

“Whatever, can you get me a blanket please? I'm going to sleep this off then I have to find Vlad!”

I never found out if he got me that blanket because as soon as I got back to bed, I was out like a light.
