Someone she knows

I swing the door open, hoping and praying for this to just be over quickly without incident. And then I see him. Standing on my doorstep, holding a couple pizza boxes, is Jason, a guy I've had a crush on since last year. He's looking down at the receipt, probably wondering if he's at the right place with how long it took for someone to open the door. My brain is screaming 'CLOSE THE DOOR!!!' but my body is paralyzed with shock as I stand there butt naked in the doorway.

"I got two medium Hawaiians for--" he stops as he finally looks up. "Emily?" I can feel his eyes burning a hole through me. Or maybe that's just the blood rushing to my face in embarrassment. And yet, I also feel another kind of warmth building inside me. The heck is wrong with me, getting turned on while standing naked in front of a hot guy? "I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Jason's voice snaps me back to attention.

"Oh um no just playing cards."

"Ah strip poker. Nice!" he responds.

"Blackjack actually. Which as you can see I am not very good at." Jason hasn't laughed or screamed and run away, and that puts me at ease enough to give him a little profile view of my naked body, as if it wasn't painfully obvious that I have no clothes on. I'm such an idiot!

"Well ya look great. Never seen this side of you before."

"I hope not! Unless you've been sneaking into the girls' locker room," I cross my arms across my chest in a playfully angry pose that conveniently conceals my boobs, drawing a friendly laugh out of Jason.

"No, I mean the outgoing adventurous side. Never would have figured you for the answer the door naked kind of gal. It's refreshing."

"Well thank you. I'm trying new things." I allow my arms to slip under my breasts, feeling Ashley's stare telling me to stop covering up.

"Anyways, I don't want these to get cold," he says, holding up the pizza boxes, "and you must be a little chilly too," his eyes gesture toward my rock hard nips, which makes me self conscious again, since it is most definitely not the cold causing them to do that. I make a move to cross my arms over my chest again, but I will myself to stop. After all he's already seen it anyway. "And I don't want your boyfriend getting any ideas."

"Boyfriend?" I'm puzzled.

"Your strip blackjack partner?"

"Oh! No I don't have a boyfriend. I'm here with my sister." I quickly realize how weird and creepy that sounded before I could stop myself. Stupid stupid stupid! "It's... I-- I lost my money and then lost my clothes keeping the game going. I told you I'm not very good at blackjack..."

"Huh." he shrugs.

"You should join us!" I blurt out. Where did that come from?

"Wish I could, but I've got another half hour on my shift and my boss would probably be pissed if I bailed early. Actually I really need to get going before he calls wondering what happened to me." Jason holds the pizza boxes a little lower. "Looks like the pizzas were on a card, so I just need a signature there and we're good to go."

I pick up the pen and sign for it, of course giving Jason a generous tip since it's on Ashley's card. And in my bold mood, I go for a bold move. "Call me later," I say as I write my number on the receipt. "If you want..."

"Yeah sure. Sounds like a plan." My heart is in my throat as he hands over the pizza boxes, which finally gives a little bit of welcome cover. "Later, Em." He says as he turns and jogs back to his car. I give the door a bump with my hip to close it and slump against the door. I cannot believe I just did that. Any of that.

"Wow sis! Look at you!" Ashley speaks up. "Pickin up guys like it's nothin," she giggles.

"Shut up and take these before I pass out!" I hand the pizzas over. She puts her arm around me and half carries me into the dining room where we have a nice conversation over dinner. Just like the old days. Except for the part where I'm naked.

"So do you think he'll call?" Ashley asks as we finish our pizza.

"I don't know." I'm not sure I even want him to. What was I thinking? He probably thinks I'm a super weirdo incestuous lesbo getting naked with my sister.

"I think he will. He was totally into you."

"Whatever. He was just being polite."

"Nah come on. Where's that confidence? He'll call."

As if on cue, my phone starts ringing. My heart rate quickens as I check the screen.
