Alice pov

I sat their staring . Why is he here? How is he here ? How are THEY here ? They weren't even dressed for the theme they were dressed as waiters .... Wait what ?! Waiters , how are they , I mean they .... I'm so lost at this point . I got up from the table where I was talking with my family , I walked toward the buffet area . I glanced a couple of times , they did to . I was really confused at this moment , two of them walked up to me . God I hope they don't say anything mean in front of my family . The two were slowly walking as I acted to be serving myself some food .

"Hey Alice " Riker said

"Ummm hi " I replied

" you look nice " Ross whispered

"Yeah I like how u added the converse " Riker complemented me

Are they checking me out ? What ? How ? Since when did they find an interest in me ? Me as in Alice ? Do they have eye problems ? They really need to see a doctor or a therapist .

"Thanks " I smiled

" so this your family ?" Riker asked , since when are they so nice to me ?

"Yeah , family from all over the place ...." I replied

"Cool , where are your parents " Ross asked

I froze , not knowing what to say or how to say it . How would I even build the words.

"Home ....." I replied

" isn't this a family reunion ?" Riker questioned

"Yeah but I mean home , home were I'm from" I said looking down

"Home where " Ross asked

Can they just leave me alone , like everyone else does ? How come they can't be this nice to me in school ?!

"Home ... Home as in Aussie " I replied

"Aussie ? Your Australian ? Where's your accent ? But this is family from all over the world ... I thought they wou- " Riker said , I interpreted his sentence

" they didn't want to come " I said walking to the drink area , the followed me . Geez they really care

"Oh , sorry" Riker said

"What are you guys doing here anyways ?" I asked

"This is a part time job " they replied

Why does his hair lay so perfect , his eye are amazing wait he's 21 .... I can't I'm 16 well turning 17 in about 5 days but how is he so perfect ? WAIT WHAT AM I SAYING ?! I hate them !! Or do I ?

"Hey do you have any plans after this ? " Riker asked

I blushed , do I lie ?

"No I don't ..." I said with a smile , I shouldn't be smiling

" do you wanna come over to our house later ? I'll pick you up " he said

"Wait, I thought you guys didn't want anything to do with me " I said

" that's the thing we wanna clear up some things ..." Ross said with a serious face

" alright around 8 is ok ? " I asked

"Perfect , see you then . Wait I need your address .." Riker replied , is this really HAPPING ?!

'Oh yeah "

I wrote down my address on a napkin and gave it to him

Is this really happening ?

Wow ....

As I left to go sit back down , I felt them checking me out

I went to sit with Jeff he doesn't have a girlfriend and I'm single , well duh

They made everyone dance to slow music so he just danced with me

I felt someone tap my shoulder it was him , Riker

' I noticed your dancing with your bro ..... May I have this dance ?"

WHAT IS HAPPING HOW IS THIS HAPPING WHAT .... I need to calm down . Jeff just smiled at me and gave me to Riker . Thanks a lot Jeff . Riker and I started dancing , I feel people watching us . Riker started getting real close to me . Doesn't he know how old he is . He's so amazing , he's perfect .... Wait WHAT am I saying I think I need a therapist

" so " he said , I just looked up . Wow his eye , they are so nice . Yup I need a therapist

" mmhmm " I say staring Into his eyes

" your brother Jeff , you live with him ? "

"Yup I always have"

At this point he started dancing into the garden area , how did I let this happen ?

He stopped dancing and we just stood their in a dance position he let go of me and sat by a fountain . I followed like a dumbass . He grabbed my hand . At this point I'm just like what the fuck is HAPPING ?

" listen " he said

" I'm so sorry about everything , the truth is the only reason were so mean to you is , because everyone thinks your 'nerdy & a loner' . I always feel so guilty . I'm , I'm sorry"

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPING ?! DID HE JUST ? HOW ?

" Alice , your probably thinking that I'm crazy or even a bitch but I truly meant it ."

" I just don't understand , how "

" Alice " he said with a lot of emotion

" yeah" I reply , at this point I don't know if he's lying or not or is this a prank

"Your not gunna believe me , or you probably think I'm living or playing a prank "

How did he know I was thinking that

He smiled at me . I smirked back at him. He picked me up bide style and took me back I side to the ball room . Everyone was staring even his family . He put me down and we went our separate ways

"What was that all about " Jeff asked

" nothing " I lied

" ok if you say so" he said . I love how Jeff is so easy to lie to , but I know he knows the truth

" I'm going to the girls room " I said

I left the room to go but then I felt followed I walked into the hallway to find the restroom . I turned around , it was Riker . He pushed me against the nearest wall and began to kiss me . I was surprised but I kissed back . Now this isn't legal . I could feel sparks . He had to hunch down a little . He's taller than me . We pulled away

"I love you " he said

It just melted my heart . He hugged me .i cuddled into his chest .
