I couldn’t really pinpoint an exact time when my feelings for Chloe changed from that of an over protective surrogate brother to something more. It was so gradual over time. What I could recall though was the time I realised exactly how hard I’d fallen; she was fifteen and I was weeks away from my nineteenth birthday. As we lay together that morning I reminded her of our past, and the day I knew I was in love with Chloe Ellis the girl next door.
Seven years ago…
I could see Stan’s car in the drive, but no one had answered the door when I knocked. I went down the side of the house and tried the side door to find it unlocked and I could hear voices in the back yard. When I walked through I froze at the scene that was playing out in front of my eyes. Chloe was sunbathing, lying back on a sun lounger with her brown curls falling wildly all over her shoulders. She wore a yellow string bikini that barely covered her body and she was looking up smiling at some blond dude with his shirt off and wearing some crazy patterned shorts.
“Who the fuck are you?”
I couldn’t hide the fact that I was seriously pissed from my tone of voice. Who did this guy think he was standing over her like that, his eyes roaming leisurely all over her body. I was a guy and I knew exactly what was going through his dirty mind right now, I felt murderous at the thought of it.
“Luca, this is Danny. It’s okay he’s not some crazy psycho killer, we’re in the same class at school.”
I didn’t take my eyes off him for a second as I spoke.
“So what’s he doing back here with you? Does your Dad know he’s here?”
I was hoping to play the father card and get this dude running scared at the prospect of Stan doing a job for me and whooping his ass.
“Dad’s paying him to mow the lawn.” She sounded all flirty and it set my teeth on edge.
“Yeah paying him to mow the lawn not stand around ogling you.” I snapped then inwardly cursed myself for showing a hint of jealousy.
Why was I feeling so jealous, he was closer to her age than I was. I was jealous though, so jealous it hurt.
“Chill out Luca, Dad’s popped out to get some stuff to fix his car so he won’t be back for an hour at least. That’s plenty of time to get the grass cut.”
Danny the douche bag sat down in a chair next to Chloe and started talking low so I couldn’t hear. She giggled back at him and I suddenly felt like the outsider; I didn’t like it.
Chloe rolled over onto her front, her pert little ass wiggling as she got comfortable. I watched him rake his eyes down her back salivating over her ass and legs. Then she committed a cardinal sin and reached back to unhook the top of her bikini leaving her back totally bare. He sucked in a breath through his teeth as I scowled over at him in warning.
“Can you do my back I can’t reach.” She held a bottle of sun tan lotion out to him and I sprang into action.
“No you don’t pretty boy, your being paid to cut grass so get to it.”
I grabbed the bottle out of her hand as she turned her head to look at me now. She was a little minx she knew exactly what she was doing. Douche bag scowled at me then slopped off and starte
d running the mower over the far corner of the grass as I held the bottle at arm’s length out towards Chloe.
“Can’t you put it on yourself?” I moaned.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to put it on, or touch her, more that I couldn’t trust myself to do it without making a complete fool of myself.
“No Luca I can’t. You don’t want me to burn do you?”
She gave me those damn puppy dog eyes and I huffed and sat on the side edge of the sun lounger, groaning as if touching her was the worst thing I’d ever been asked to do. Damn I’d been hard the minute I saw her lying there, this was going to be pure torture for me.
I poured the white lotion into my hand as she moved her curls to the side and grinned like a fucking Cheshire cat. Then I started at her shoulders running the lotion over her soft smooth creamy skin and desperately trying to hide my arousal which would be obvious to anyone if I stood up now. I ran my hands down her back and along her sides. She felt so warm, like velvet under my fingers. When I got to her lower back I had to take a breath in when I saw the little ties that were either side of her bikini bottoms. Images of me pulling on those ties and seeing her pert little ass raised in the air and ready for me made me insane. I had to get away from her before I did something I regretted.
“That enough?” I tried to sound as bored and unaffected as I could. She had her eyes closed and looked totally relaxed as if I’d just given her the best massage ever.
“I suppose.” She sighed as I threw the bottle on the grass and stood with my back to them both and stalked over to the gate. I couldn’t turn round I was so full of lust for her, so I shouted over my shoulder.
“Tell your Dad I called round…and get the grass done before he’s back or we’ll both kick your ass.”
I went straight home and sprinted up the stairs heading to the shower. I needed to jerk off so badly and thinking about that damn yellow bikini with its tempting ties and her bare naked back made me come hard and fast after a few tugs. What the hell was I thinking? Chloe was driving me nuts and the thought of that guy back there even looking at her made me so angry I punched the tiles and then cursed myself for being so fucked up. She wasn’t his to stare at and fantasise over, she was mine. I wanted her, I dreamt about her. God I fucking loved her but I couldn’t tell her, I couldn’t tell anyone. They’d cart me off to jail if they knew what went through my head on a daily basis about this girl. My girl…the girl next door. My Chloe.
“I thought you hated me that day.” She said, her eyes as wide as saucers after my little confession.
“Are you kidding? I was so hot for you, but I couldn’t tell anyone least of all you. I thought I’d get arrested if I acted on my feelings. But that day I realised I loved you so badly, I wanted you for myself. The thought of that guy even being near you made me wild with jealousy.”
