Chapter Five- Austen's POV

I woke up with something heavy on my chest.  I slowly opened my eyes, and couldn't help but smile.  Zeek was sleeping like an angel, his head on my chest and my arms wrapped around his skinny body.

  "Good morning Angel."  I kissed the top of his head and slipped out of the bed careful not to wake him.  I was gay for my best friend... It started not too long ago actually...  That was when I statred noticing how depressed he would get.  I was obviously worried about him, but it went deeper than that.  Whenever I saw that sad look on his face, it felt like my own heart was breaking, and everytime he smiled, it made my heart burst.

  "Well good morning Austen!"  Naomi was sitting at the counter eating a bowl of cereal, grinning like a hyena.

  "Morning Naomi."  I turned around to get some breakfast, but felt her eyes on me again.  I turned around, and sure enough, she was looking at me with a knowing look on her face.  "What?"

  "Ohhhh nothing..."  I was about to question her again, but Zeek came in the room.

  "Morning Sleeping Beauty!"  Naomi gave him a hug and handed him a muffin.

  "How come you didn't give me a muffin?"  I glared at her.

  "Cuz I only had one extra."  I rolled my eyes and mumbled a good morning to Zeek. 

  "Morning Austen..." He smiled widely, making my heart flutter in my chest. 

  "So, Austen.  The party starts at six, so I'll be here at like 4:30 to help you get ready.  Kay?"

  "Why do I need to get ready so early?"  I took care of my dishes and left the room, leaving them to talk.  That was when my phone rang.

  "Hello?"  I was stupid and ignored the name on the screen...

  "Baby?  Hey!  I just wanted to say I was sorry about what I said last night, and I forgive you for walking away."

  "You forgive me for walking away?"  I laughed at Kylee.

  "Yes, I know you were probably stressed and maybe a little tipsy, so you didn't mean to walk away from me."  I rolled my eyes.

  "Kylee, I was completely sober when I walked away from you last night, and I don't regret doing it.  Honestly, I think it was the best decision I have ever made.  I don't even know why I liked you in the first place."  Easy, I needed a cover girlfriend so Zeek wouldn't find out I liked him...  Well, it didn't start out like that...  I went out with Kylee for relief...  It was when I first developed feelings for Zeek, and I was scared, so I asked Kylee out the next day.

  "Fine, we're done!"  With that she hung up the phone, but not without calling me some very interesting names.

  "You okay?"  I heard a soft voice behind me.  I turned around and saw Zeek with a curious look on his face.

  "Yeah, I'm fine.  Just annoyed by Kylee.  She wanted to get back together, but then she made the breakup sound ike it was my fault."

  "I'm sorry.  She's not worth you getting stressed though."  I gave him an odd look. "You deserve someone who will stay by your side no matter what, and who loves you for you, not your popularity status, or whether or not they ike who you hang out with.  They should be just as sweet and caring as you are."  I smiled at him, because he made me speechless.  All those things, I wanted him to be the one to do them...

  "Thanks Zeeky."

  "No problem."  He smiled back, only making remember why I loved him in the first place.

Zeek's POV

  "Zeek, are you almost ready?"  Naomi whined from the other side of the door.  I had already put on the clothes she had picked out:  a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a white tee, a black leather jacket and Converse. 

  "Yes, I'm coming."  I sprayed some cologne and grabbed my phone and my wallet, heading out the door.

  "So, what kind of party is this?  Like a 'everybody get drunk and do stupid stuff', or 'shaking hands and old people'?"  I asked Naomi when we were on our way.

  "The old people kind.  My mom and Jack's dad arranged it.  I think he's having a party with his friends next weekend."  I nodded my head and watched the trees go by as we got closer to her house.  I climbed out and waited for her when we got there.  "Zeek, I'm so nervous!  What am I going to say to him?  'Hey bro, I know it's really weird cuz we're like brother and sister, but I'm in love with you.'  See, there's no good way to say it."  

  "Just tell him how you feel.  Wait a little while, then take him outside where you're alone, and say you've loved him since before your parents met and how you tried to get over him, but you coudn't.  Try to soun as innocent as possible.  That way, if things don't go your way, which I doubt will happen, he won't be harsh on you."

  "Thanks Zeek."  She took a deep breath and made her way inside.

  "Hey guys!  Naomi, nice dress!"  Jack smiled at her.  Yep, this was going to be easy.  You could tell by the shining look of admiration in his eyes, that he felt the same way about Naomi, as she did for him.

  "Thanks Jack.  Where's my mom?"  I left the two lovebirds to talk, and started toward the kitchen, but didn't get there.  I ran into a hard chest, and almost fell to the ground, but was caught by a strong pair of arms.

  "Woah there!  You okay?"  I looked up and was speechless... This guy was gorgeous...  Thick blonde hair was swept over his dark brown eyes.

  "Y-yeah... I'm fine."  The handsome stranger let go of my waist and stuck out his hand.

  "Weston, I'm Jack's cousin."  I shook his hand politely.  There was no...spark.  Whenever I touched Austen, I felt as if electricity was shooting through my body, but with Weston, nothing happened.

  "Zeek, I'm a friend of his stepsister."

  "Naomi?"

  "Yeah."

  "He's told me so much about her.  He never shuts up, but then denies it if you ask him if he has any stronger feelings towards her.

  "Same with Naomi, although she already told me she likes him.  I think she's telling him tonight."  Damn that handsome face!  How come everytime I look at something beautiful, I can't lie?

  "My ex boyfriend was the same way."  My eyes widened.

  "You're gay?  Wait, did I say that last part out loud?"

  "Yes, and if you're talking about not being able to lie to something beautiful, then yes...and thank you for saying I'm beautiful."  I blushed a dark shade of red and looked at my shoes.

  "No problem."

  "So I take it you're gay too?"

  "Yeah, but only you, Naomi and our friend Felicity know."

  "Not your parents?"

  "No, I'm scared of what they would say to me."  I sighed. 

   "I've been out of the closet for three years.  Trust me, it's nice out here."  I laughed and smiled.  "You have a cute smile."  And there goes the blushing again.  "You blush a lot.  That's cute too."  

  "Whatever, I think Naomi is going to talk to Jack now."  I pointed toward Naomi leading him away.

  "I know this is probably going to be mean and we will never be forgiven, but do you want to go spy on them?"  I grinned and nodded, following Weston out the door.  We hid behind a bush nearby so we could hear them, nd see them without getting caught.

  "Jack, I need to tell you something.  Please don't freak out on me our anything..."  I could see the confuse look an his face.

  "I won't.  Naomi, what's wrong, you're crying."  He wiped away a tear that was faling down her cheek.

  "Do you remember how before our parents met, we would hang out like, all the time?"

  "Yes, I remember."

  "And how we would spend almost every day together?"

  "Yes, what are you getting at Naomi?"  I caught a glimpse of the terrified look on Naomi's face.

  "Jack, I- I've been in love with you since then... I tried to get over you when our parents got married, but I couldn't and I know you probably hate me now and you're gonna tell my mom and your dad and-"  I smiled when Jack cupped her face and planted his lips on hers.

  "It's about freaking time."  I heard Weston whisper next to me.

  "Naomi, I could never hate you.  I love you too.  I tried to act as a big brother to you, but I couldn't do it... I love you so much." They kissed again...and again...and again...

  "Why don't we give them some privacy now."  I whispered to Weston.  He nodded and I led him away.

Still short... SORRYYYY    I can't continue after a cute scene!  You just can't ruin the cuteness of it!!!  I will have the next chapter up soon, I pwomiseeeee <3
