That's what he used to call me.Only, I'm not so little, anymore. I turned eighteen in October, and that's practically a woman.A woman whose feelings for him have only grown stronger.The good news is, Gunner is spending Christmas break with my family this year while his parents are in Europe. He hasn't seen me much in the past two years. Not since he and my brother went to college out of state. Will spending three weeks under the same roof finally make him see me as the woman I've become and not just his best friend's little sister?I hope so, because I would like nothing more than to give him a Christmas present this year neither of us will ever forget. A gift no other man will ever receive from me.My virginity.All I need now is for him to get here.Note: This story is a standalone. Ive been in love with Gunner since I was twelve. Now Im eighteen, and its time for him to realize Im not just his best friends little sister anymore. For six long years, Ive lived for when my brothers best friend Gunner came over after school to shoot hoops in the backyard, play video games, or just hang out. Ive hungered for every glance and smile he sent my way, and Ive longed for him to see me as more than just his best friends baby sister. Im eighteen now. Im not a baby anymore. Despite still being a virgin, Im all grown up, and my feelings for Gunner have only become stronger. But when he comes home from college for Christmas break, what if he still sees the little girl I used to be? Hes staying with my family for the holidays, and I cant stand the idea of living under the same roof with him for two weeks if he cant see the woman Ive become. What I never considered was that he might already look at me that way. That he might feel the same way about me as I do about him. That he hasnt wanted to act on his feelings because I am his best friends little sister. I certainly never expected him to steal secretly into my bedroom in the middle of the night and touch me the way a man was made to touch a woman. I only hope that when the best Christmas break of my life is over and Gunner returns to college that he hasnt completely broken my heart. Because the only thing worse than Gunner seeing me as child would be for him to fall for someone else.
