Marriage and Murder (MMU Fanfiction)

Alone Together

Hazel's POV:

"Hi Hazel,"

I didn't answer. How could I? I— I already hurt him. I don't deserve to be with him.

Alex sat down beside me.

"So..."
I didn't know what to say.

"How's things?" Alex looked uncomfortable. I turned to him.

"Alex, I'm sorry. I— I shouldn't have said that. I panicked. I... I just don't want to leave England!" I burst into tears again.

Before I could say another thing, Alex gently tilted my face up to his, and kissed me.

It stayed still for a second, happy. But then I realised that I was kissing a boy. I panicked, pulling away. I stayed frozen for a moment, reliving it, then I smiled up at Alex. He smiled back.

"Everything is going to be okay, Hazel, I won't let anything happen to you,"

"You don't know that!"

"Of course I do. Because, I, unlike you, know George's plan,"

"Well, I, unlike you, know Daisy's plan, which is probably much better,"

We both laughed in unison.

I cuddled into him, "I love you, Alex. But if my father finds out—"

"Which he won't"

"—but he might"

"We'll just be careful! We're detectives! We can solve anything!" I laughed. I've never heard Alexander talk in such a Daisy—like way.

"Well, as long as my father doesn't get suspicious..." I say, hypnotised by Alexander's blue eyes.

"YES!"

"Shush! It's almost midnight! People are asleep!"

Alex laughed and kissed my forehead.

"Well, I never thought it would go this well," We turned towards George's disgusted face.

"See here! Don't look at me like that!" George said to Alexander's glare, "Daisy just sent me to tell you that she wants to keep playing truth or dare!"

"Oh. Um. Yes," I said, blushing.

"C'mon then!"
