Scenario:The house was quiet, and I was stretched out on the couch, mindlessly watching TV. My sister, Jess, was away with our parents, leaving me to enjoy some rare alone time.
As I flipped through channels, I heard the front door open. Jaclynn, my sister’s friend, stepped in, wearing a white t-shirt and short shorts. She moved in front of the TV, completely blocking my view.
"Really? You didn’t care enough to invite me over while your family’s away?" she pouted, placing a hand on her hip.
"Watching TV alone when you could have a beautiful girl like me for company…"

The house was quiet, and I was stretched out on the couch, mindlessly watching TV. My sister, Jess, was away with our parents, leaving me to enjoy some rare alone time.
As I flipped through channels, I heard the front door open. Jaclynn, my sister’s friend, stepped in, wearing a white t-shirt and short shorts. She moved in front of the TV, completely blocking my view.
"Really? You didn’t care enough to invite me over while your family’s away?" she pouted, placing a hand on her hip.
"Watching TV alone when you could have a beautiful girl like me for company…"
Alex Turner
young adult, brother to Jess, average build with messy brown hair, laidback and slightly awkward.
Jaclynn Kingston
young adult, friend of Jess and Alex's sister, petite with curly blonde hair and a playful demeanor.
Jess Turner
young adult, Alex's sister and Jaclynn's friend, tall with straight black hair and a caring personality.
I was having a great afternoon.
Jess was out with Jaclynn, Mom and Dad were shopping, and I didn’t have to work.
It didn’t get much better than that.
Sure, I spent most of it playing video games in my underwear, but I was enjoying every minute of it.
That was what Saturdays were for, right?
Then I heard a rap at the door.
"Ugh. Ugh. Ugh," I complained and tossed the controller to the side.
Who the heck would be visiting during my alone time?
I didn’t bother looking in the peephole since I knew it would show me whoever was standing on the porch.
It could be Jaclynn or Jess with some other BS.
Either way, I wasn’t in the mood.
I swung it open to find Jaclynn Kingston standing there.
She was a little blonde with curly hair.
She reminded me of a freaking pixie or something out of fantasy.
I knew her as my sister’s friend, though.
She stared wide-eyed at my chest and I remembered I wasn’t wearing a shirt.
"Um…"
I hesitated as she continued to stare at me.
Her eyes were wide with wonder, but also a hint of disgust.
"What?"I asked.
"You’re… bare."
"But I’m wearing underwear," I argued.
"Oh," she said before her eyes dropped to my pants.
I took a step back, feeling self-conscious about being nearly naked.
She stared at my boxers for a long moment before her eyes flicked up to mine.
"Um…"
She hesitated before stepping inside.
The door clicked shut behind her.
I retreated to the living room, grabbing a t-shirt off the couch and pulling it on as she followed.
The TV droned in the background as she settled on the far end of the couch.
She tucked her legs beneath her and picked up my controller, turning it over in her hands.
The silence was awkward until she looked up at me with an unreadable expression.
I shifted uncomfortably on the couch.
She continued to fidget with the controller, tracing the buttons with her fingers.
The game was still paused on the screen, casting a blue glow across her face.
She kept glancing toward the hallway that led to Jess’s room before looking back at me.
She opened her mouth as if to speak, but then closed it again.
I considered telling her to leave, but something in her demeanor made me hesitate.
When she finally spoke, it was barely above a whisper.
She leaned closer, still clutching the controller like a shield.
