walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
    Walking into the kitchen, he grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and noticed that Clara wasn’t awake yet. Noel went into the lounge to turn on the TV for the morning news. Flicking through the channels, he heard a knock on the door. Groaning, he got up from the couch, walked to the door, and opened it.
    “Delivery for Clara Lawrence,” the delivery worker said as he held out an electronic device for a signature.
    “I’ll just get her. Wait there a second,” Noel told him. The worker didn’t look much younger than him.
    Walking to Clara’s bedroom door, Noel contemplated whether he should even wake her. Believing it was an important delivery, he knocked on the door.
    “Clara?” He heard no sounds. “Wake up, Clara!” he yelled, getting a little annoyed with her.
    She let out a slight groan and then movement sounded. “What the hell do you want, Noel?” she yelled from the other side of the door.
    “You have a delivery,” Noel replied as he leant on the wall, waiting for her.
    He listened as Clara got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it. The amount of times Clara looked hot as hell couldn’t live up to this exact moment. He was literally stuck in place as he looked at her. Clara wore a short blue nightdress that hugged her slender body perfectly. Her loose curls were messy from sleep, but only added to the appeal of her.
    He groaned slightly at the sight of her. Too attractive to be Alex’s little sister. Noel straightened his posture to make sure she didn’t see him check her out.
    God, what is she doing to me?
    “Are you serious? This early?” she questioned with an irritated tone in her voice.
    “I, uhh, don’t know. He needs your signature,” he stammered out, trying to control his voice. She pushed past him and walked to the front door, giving him the perfect view of her ass. He couldn’t deny himself.
    For a petite girl, Clara has one hell of a body. Damn those curves!
    He noticed the delivery guy’s eyes run down her body as she walked towards him. He had the right idea, but jealousy stirred inside Noel. He was ready to run up to the guy and punch him in the face for checking her out. He couldn’t blame the guy for appreciating her body. It had just awoken a possessive trait Noel never knew he had when it came to Clara.
    That short blue nightdress would make any man weak.
    Noel needed out of there and fast. He quickly walked to his room, grabbed his gym bag, and made his way to Clara. He needed to make it clear to the delivery guy that she was hands off. He promised Alex that no guy would touch her, but it was selfishly for him. He needed to show the guy he had no chance. No guy did.
    “I’ll see you tonight for dinner,” Noel said, smiling at her, only to see her send a heavenly grin right back at him. She made him a little breathless, but he managed to control himself. The delivery guy eyed him as Clara inspected the box standing in front of her.
    “I’ll see you tonight then,” she replied to him as she started to sign the electronic device.
    He looked at her one more time before he pushed past the delivery guy and his cart. Looking at the large box, Noel saw that the sender was Alex and remembered that he was sending her a birthday present.
    “Lucky bastard,” the delivery guy hissed under his breath as Noel walked away from the both of them. That one hiss brought a satisfied smile to Noel’s face.
    I am one lucky bastard indeed.
     
     

 

     
    “ H ave a nice day,” she said to the delivery guy as he collected the device from her.
    “Are you sure you’re gonna be able to push this inside?” he asked, not looking at her face, but instead at her body.
    “I’ll be fine,” Clara replied. The disappointment was clear on his face.
    “Thanks again,” she said, dismissing him. He gave her a disgruntled smile and wheeled his cart towards the elevator.
    Clara walked out to the hallway and smiled the moment she saw that the
