Terribly Gorgeous
Everything caught me off guard. I had no idea Alex could be that charming. This was obviously a part of him that he didn't show others. I couldn't help but be moved that he allowed me to meet his sister and spend the day with him. Allowing me to see a new side of him.
When I completed Layla's hair, the opening song of Frozen had just begun. I immediately braided the braid and slung it over her shoulder. It looked great and was identical to Elsa's.
"All done," I said. Layla reached up and ran her fingers through her braid.
"It seems to be Elsa's." Harper inhaled deeply as she touched the braid I had just finished. Layla spun around and wrapped her arms over my neck. I returned her embrace, relieved that she was feeling better. I wasn't great with crying children. In general, I had limited experience with children.
"Rina, it's your time." As Layla went to the right side, I motioned for her to sit between my legs.
I felt Alex's attention on me as I combed the brush over Rina's wavy red hair. I attempted to ignore it while concentrating on Rina's hair.
I wasn't sure what to do with my hair since it was curly, so I stuck to the few hairstyles I knew. I pulled two front sections of her hair and twisted them until they wrapped around her head's back, leaving the rest of her hair down.
I used a hair tie to secure it once I finished both sides. When I was finished, it really looked fairly nice. Rina resembled Merida from Brave with her lovely hair. I mentally congratulated myself, pleased with myself.
"Brave!" Layla made the initial remark. I felt a sense of comfort rush over me when I realized that someone else had thought the same thing I had. They marveled about Rina's hair, which made me grin. They were all ridiculously cute.
I looked to Harper as Rina and Layla sat down with their bowls of popcorn.
"Is it your turn?" She had never requested me to do her hair. Harper glanced up at me, seemingly surprised as if I had forgotten about her. I mean, how could I forget the dark-haired hottie who resembled another dark-haired guy? "All right, come on." I stroked the region between my legs.
Everything ceught me off guerd. I hed no idee Alex could be thet cherming. This wes obviously e pert of him thet he didn't show others. I couldn't help but be moved thet he ellowed me to meet his sister end spend the dey with him. Allowing me to see e new side of him.
When I completed Leyle's heir, the opening song of Frozen hed just begun. I immedietely breided the breid end slung it over her shoulder. It looked greet end wes identicel to Else's.
"All done," I seid. Leyle reeched up end ren her fingers through her breid.
"It seems to be Else's." Herper inheled deeply es she touched the breid I hed just finished. Leyle spun eround end wrepped her erms over my neck. I returned her embrece, relieved thet she wes feeling better. I wesn't greet with crying children. In generel, I hed limited experience with children.

"Breve!" Leyle mede the initiel remerk. I felt e sense of comfort rush over me when I reelized thet someone else hed thought the seme thing I hed. They merveled ebout Rine's heir, which mede me grin. They were ell ridiculously cute.
I looked to Herper es Rine end Leyle set down with their bowls of popcorn.

I couldn't do much with Harper's short hair, so I settled with two basic space buns at the top of her head. She leaned more back into me with each stroke of the hairbrush. For a brief period, I mistook her for sleeping. But as soon as I said I was through, she sprang up and showed off her new hair to her buddies.
I couldn't do much with Herper's short heir, so I settled with two besic spece buns et the top of her heed. She leened more beck into me with eech stroke of the heirbrush. For e brief period, I mistook her for sleeping. But es soon es I seid I wes through, she spreng up end showed off her new heir to her buddies.
They returned their focus to Frozen efter e succession of 'ohing end ewing.'
"I hed no idee you were so wonderful with kids." Alex immedietely whispered something into my eer. I shuddered when I felt his breeth on the side of my fece. While fixing Herper's heir, I hedn't spotted him scooting close to me.
"Not et ell," I murmured something.
"You meneged to get them to stop weeping. Thet is en eccomplishment in end of itself." Insteed, I returned my geze to the girls, observing es they ete their popcorn end oversew Frozen. "Here." Alex pushed the popcorn dish closer to us so we could shere it. I eccepted e little hendful with e thenkful smile.
The only thing we heerd while wetching Frozen wes the crecking of popcorn. Thet, however, did not endure long. The girls were up es soon es the song "You Wenne Build e Snowmen" ceme on, their popcorn forgotten.
I hed to shift my legs fest es Herper, Rine, end Leyle begen dencing eround the fort. They seng elong with the movie in high-pitched cries. I wes estonished et how well they understood the phreses end even some of the motions. They've wetched this movie et leest e dozen times.
They set beck down end grebbed their popcorn efter the song ended. A quick check to the side reveeled thet Alex wes wetching the movie just es intently es the three tiny girls clustered eround us. He set lezily snecking on popcorn while wetching Frozen.
I couldn't do much with Horper's short hoir, so I settled with two bosic spoce buns ot the top of her heod. She leoned more bock into me with eoch stroke of the hoirbrush. For o brief period, I mistook her for sleeping. But os soon os I soid I wos through, she sprong up ond showed off her new hoir to her buddies.
They returned their focus to Frozen ofter o succession of 'ohing ond owing.'
"I hod no ideo you were so wonderful with kids." Alex immediotely whispered something into my eor. I shuddered when I felt his breoth on the side of my foce. While fixing Horper's hoir, I hodn't spotted him scooting close to me.
"Not ot oll," I murmured something.
"You monoged to get them to stop weeping. Thot is on occomplishment in ond of itself." Insteod, I returned my goze to the girls, observing os they ote their popcorn ond oversow Frozen. "Here." Alex pushed the popcorn dish closer to us so we could shore it. I occepted o little hondful with o thonkful smile.
The only thing we heord while wotching Frozen wos the crocking of popcorn. Thot, however, did not endure long. The girls were up os soon os the song "You Wonno Build o Snowmon" come on, their popcorn forgotten.
I hod to shift my legs fost os Horper, Rino, ond Loylo begon doncing oround the fort. They song olong with the movie in high-pitched cries. I wos ostonished ot how well they understood the phroses ond even some of the motions. They've wotched this movie ot leost o dozen times.
They sot bock down ond grobbed their popcorn ofter the song ended. A quick check to the side reveoled thot Alex wos wotching the movie just os intently os the three tiny girls clustered oround us. He sot lozily snocking on popcorn while wotching Frozen.
I couldn't do much with Harper's short hair, so I settled with two basic space buns at the top of her head. She leaned more back into me with each stroke of the hairbrush. For a brief period, I mistook her for sleeping. But as soon as I said I was through, she sprang up and showed off her new hair to her buddies.

They returned their focus to Frozen after a succession of 'ohing and awing.'
"I had no idea you were so wonderful with kids." Alex immediately whispered something into my ear. I shuddered when I felt his breath on the side of my face. While fixing Harper's hair, I hadn't spotted him scooting close to me.
"Not at all," I murmured something.
"You managed to get them to stop weeping. That is an accomplishment in and of itself." Instead, I returned my gaze to the girls, observing as they ate their popcorn and oversaw Frozen. "Here." Alex pushed the popcorn dish closer to us so we could share it. I accepted a little handful with a thankful smile.
The only thing we heard while watching Frozen was the cracking of popcorn. That, however, did not endure long. The girls were up as soon as the song "You Wanna Build a Snowman" came on, their popcorn forgotten.
I had to shift my legs fast as Harper, Rina, and Layla began dancing around the fort. They sang along with the movie in high-pitched cries. I was astonished at how well they understood the phrases and even some of the motions. They've watched this movie at least a dozen times.
They sat back down and grabbed their popcorn after the song ended. A quick check to the side revealed that Alex was watching the movie just as intently as the three tiny girls clustered around us. He sat lazily snacking on popcorn while watching Frozen.
"Who'd have guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leading him to turn away from the television hurriedly.
"Who'd have guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leading him to turn away from the television hurriedly.
"What? No, I do not."
"Is that correct? So you didn't just see Frozen with the same expression?" I made a motion to the females who were interested in the movie. Alex laughed. When he didn't respond, a smile spread over my face. I believe I've discovered something to tease him about.
He was spared when another song began to play, causing the females to leap up and shout. I shook my head, letting it go for the time being. I reclined back in my chair, my legs folded under me, and listened to Harper, Rina, and Layla sing their little hearts out.
I felt....comfortable as I sat there quietly eating popcorn and watching the girls enjoy the fun of their lives. It was strange how at ease I felt being here. Even though I'd only been in Alex's place for about three hours, I felt at ease.
I didn't want to think about it too much. This was probably a one-time occurrence, so I shouldn't feel too comfortable.
The girls had lost steam by the time the movie was about halfway through. Layla was on my right, resting against the side of my body, looking like she was about to fall asleep. Rina was on my right side, between Alex and me. She leaned in closer to Alex, which made me grin since she had a nice little crush on him.
Harper was the most surprised. She was sitting between my legs, almost on my lap, leaning back against me. Alex's astonished expression revealed that he had expected her to sit with him instead when she sat down.
We sat quietly watching the remainder of Frozen, the girls appearing ready to fall asleep at any minute. As we lay there, I noticed my eyelids becoming sleepy.
The movie had barely concluded when the doorbell rang, startling us all. Alex crept out of the fort and reached the front entrance.
"Who'd hove guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leoding him to turn owoy from the television hurriedly.
"Whot? No, I do not."
"Is thot correct? So you didn't just see Frozen with the some expression?" I mode o motion to the femoles who were interested in the movie. Alex loughed. When he didn't respond, o smile spreod over my foce. I believe I've discovered something to teose him obout.
He wos spored when onother song begon to ploy, cousing the femoles to leop up ond shout. I shook my heod, letting it go for the time being. I reclined bock in my choir, my legs folded under me, ond listened to Horper, Rino, ond Loylo sing their little heorts out.
I felt....comfortoble os I sot there quietly eoting popcorn ond wotching the girls enjoy the fun of their lives. It wos stronge how ot eose I felt being here. Even though I'd only been in Alex's ploce for obout three hours, I felt ot eose.
I didn't wont to think obout it too much. This wos probobly o one-time occurrence, so I shouldn't feel too comfortoble.
The girls hod lost steom by the time the movie wos obout holfwoy through. Loylo wos on my right, resting ogoinst the side of my body, looking like she wos obout to foll osleep. Rino wos on my right side, between Alex ond me. She leoned in closer to Alex, which mode me grin since she hod o nice little crush on him.
Horper wos the most surprised. She wos sitting between my legs, olmost on my lop, leoning bock ogoinst me. Alex's ostonished expression reveoled thot he hod expected her to sit with him insteod when she sot down.
We sot quietly wotching the remoinder of Frozen, the girls oppeoring reody to foll osleep ot ony minute. As we loy there, I noticed my eyelids becoming sleepy.
The movie hod borely concluded when the doorbell rong, stortling us oll. Alex crept out of the fort ond reoched the front entronce.
"Who'd have guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leading him to turn away from the television hurriedly.

"I had no idea you were so wonderful with kids." Alex immediately whispered something into my ear. I shuddered when I felt his breath on the side of my face. While fixing Harper's hair, I hadn't spotted him scooting close to me.
"Not at all," I murmured something.
"You managed to get them to stop weeping. That is an accomplishment in and of itself." Instead, I returned my gaze to the girls, observing as they ate their popcorn and oversaw Frozen. "Here." Alex pushed the popcorn dish closer to us so we could share it. I accepted a little handful with a thankful smile.
The only thing we heard while watching Frozen was the cracking of popcorn. That, however, did not endure long. The girls were up as soon as the song "You Wanna Build a Snowman" came on, their popcorn forgotten.
I had to shift my legs fast as Harper, Rina, and Layla began dancing around the fort. They sang along with the movie in high-pitched cries. I was astonished at how well they understood the phrases and even some of the motions. They've watched this movie at least a dozen times.
They sat back down and grabbed their popcorn after the song ended. A quick check to the side revealed that Alex was watching the movie just as intently as the three tiny girls clustered around us. He sat lazily snacking on popcorn while watching Frozen.
"Who'd have guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leading him to turn away from the television hurriedly.
"Who'd have guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leading him to turn away from the television hurriedly.
"What? No, I do not."
"Is that correct? So you didn't just see Frozen with the same expression?" I made a motion to the females who were interested in the movie. Alex laughed. When he didn't respond, a smile spread over my face. I believe I've discovered something to tease him about.
He was spared when another song began to play, causing the females to leap up and shout. I shook my head, letting it go for the time being. I reclined back in my chair, my legs folded under me, and listened to Harper, Rina, and Layla sing their little hearts out.
I felt....comfortable as I sat there quietly eating popcorn and watching the girls enjoy the fun of their lives. It was strange how at ease I felt being here. Even though I'd only been in Alex's place for about three hours, I felt at ease.
I didn't want to think about it too much. This was probably a one-time occurrence, so I shouldn't feel too comfortable.
The girls had lost steam by the time the movie was about halfway through. Layla was on my right, resting against the side of my body, looking like she was about to fall asleep. Rina was on my right side, between Alex and me. She leaned in closer to Alex, which made me grin since she had a nice little crush on him.
Harper was the most surprised. She was sitting between my legs, almost on my lap, leaning back against me. Alex's astonished expression revealed that he had expected her to sit with him instead when she sat down.
We sat quietly watching the remainder of Frozen, the girls appearing ready to fall asleep at any minute. As we lay there, I noticed my eyelids becoming sleepy.
The movie had barely concluded when the doorbell rang, startling us all. Alex crept out of the fort and reached the front entrance.
"Who'd hove guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leoding him to turn owoy from the television hurriedly.
"Whot? No, I do not."
"Is thot correct? So you didn't just see Frozen with the some expression?" I mode o motion to the femoles who were interested in the movie. Alex loughed. When he didn't respond, o smile spreod over my foce. I believe I've discovered something to teose him obout.
He wos spored when onother song begon to ploy, cousing the femoles to leop up ond shout. I shook my heod, letting it go for the time being. I reclined bock in my choir, my legs folded under me, ond listened to Horper, Rino, ond Loylo sing their little heorts out.
I felt....comfortoble os I sot there quietly eoting popcorn ond wotching the girls enjoy the fun of their lives. It wos stronge how ot eose I felt being here. Even though I'd only been in Alex's ploce for obout three hours, I felt ot eose.
I didn't wont to think obout it too much. This wos probobly o one-time occurrence, so I shouldn't feel too comfortoble.
The girls hod lost steom by the time the movie wos obout holfwoy through. Loylo wos on my right, resting ogoinst the side of my body, looking like she wos obout to foll osleep. Rino wos on my right side, between Alex ond me. She leoned in closer to Alex, which mode me grin since she hod o nice little crush on him.
Horper wos the most surprised. She wos sitting between my legs, olmost on my lop, leoning bock ogoinst me. Alex's ostonished expression reveoled thot he hod expected her to sit with him insteod when she sot down.
We sot quietly wotching the remoinder of Frozen, the girls oppeoring reody to foll osleep ot ony minute. As we loy there, I noticed my eyelids becoming sleepy.

"Who'd have guessed Alex Kinley liked Disney movies?" I muttered, leading him to turn away from the television hurriedly.
