Electricity - Alex Turner

26. An introduction

I woke up and looked around my room. The room was cold and empty.

Was it all a dream?

I went to the bathroom and washed my teeth and face. I looked absolutely horrible.

I slowly walked towards the living room, asking myself if Alex was actually here or if it was all a dream.

I heard a loud bang from the kitchen and jumped into my spot. I quickly walked over the room and spotted someone.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I exclaimed.

"I...Nothing?" He quickly said.

"What are you doing in my house, Alex?" I repeated.

"You...You don't remember the last night?" He asked quietly.

"Of course I fucking remember it! Are you calling me stupid now?" I asked.

"What?" He exclaimed. "No, what the fuck? Of course not." He said and quickly shook his head.

"Fine." I said and sat down on a chair. "What are you doing there?" I asked.

"Me shit pancakes. It's totally alright if you don't-"

"Shut up! They were good." I said and chuckled quietly.

"If you say so.." He shrugged. "Do you have any ch-"

"Check the counter on your right." I said and he nodded.

He placed the pancakes in front of me and I looked at him as he sat down, next to me.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said quietly and he nodded.

"I know. But I'm here for you. Always." He said and I looked in his eyes. His hair was messy and fluffy, his skin was absolutely amazing, and his eyes. Oh God...

"That's nice." I nodded.

"Bella, I'm serious. Even though you don't want to, you have to talk to someone about it. I totally understand if that someone isn't me." Alex said.

"I don't want to." I said and looked down at my plate.

He sighed and cut my pancake and gave me a mouthful. I looked at him confused and he just smiled.

I rolled my eyes and smiled a bit, looking down at the table. I threw a blueberry at him and he started laughing.

That contagious laugh of his.

"Why are you laughing like an idiot?" I asked and looked back at him.

He started laughing even more, for some reasons and that made me smile. I also realised that I haven't smiled like this in years.

"You have...Something on yer nose love." He said and tried to hold his laughter.

"Stop calling me that! We're not friends!" I said and touched my nose. It was full of chocolate. "Oh God." I sighed and grabbed a napkin and quickly cleaned my nose.

"Okay, sorry." He said. "What are you doing today?" He asked.

"None of your business." I said and continued to eat.

"Okay...What are you doing tomorrow then?" He asked.

I looked back at him and widened my eyes. "Are you serious?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Oh my.." I sighed.

"What did you do in the last five years?" He asked.
