Chapter Twenty Five: Es Perfecto (It's Perfect)
-
I've got to the fun part in the book. :P I'm on a roll writing this!

Adrian helped me move all my stuff to our new house. It was small, but we picked it out together and I liked it. It was a three bedroom house, I stole the master bedroom. Adrian claimed that because I got the master bedroom, he got both other bedrooms so he could set up a giant office in one. I didn't care so I let him do that.
I set my room up before going for a walk in the new neighbourhood. It was almost night time, but I didn't mind.
Suddenly a hand wrapped around my waist. "Hello Arya." Xavier's voice says. I squirm out of his grip and turn around.
"Xavier you're drunk." I say, noticing it quickly.
"Aw c'mon babe." Xavier chuckles, wrapping his arms around me again. This time too tight for me to get out of. He leans down and I can smell the alcohol in his breath. I try leaning away but he presses his lips to mine, forcing himself on me. I push him off me, but his grip never loosens.
"Get away from me!" I whimper. "You're drunk! I know you're not really like this!"
"You don't know that darling." Xavier smirks, pushing me against the nearest wall a kissing me again. My body was weak from my state and I couldn't push him off again.
He reaches my hands up my shirt and I almost break down in tears.
"Stop please." I whimper as he moves down to kissing my neck. My attempts were feeble trying to push him away. I scream out as he pulls my shirt up, but that makes him somewhat angry and he stops pulling it up when it gets to the top of my stomach.
"Shut up Arya." He snaps, forcing his lips on mine again.
"Get the hell off her." A familiar voice growls and Xavier is ripped away from me.
I collapse onto the ground. I pull my shirt down to cover my skin again before pulling my knees to my chest. I watch as my ex boyfriend punches his cousin. Telling him to go away and not to ever touch me again.
After Xavier leaves, Alex walks over.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asks softly, kneeling beside me. I nod, my eyes brimming with tears. "Come on, let's get you home." He says, picking me up effortlessly. I curl into him, I missed this. A lot.
Alex takes me back to my house. How he knows where my new house is, I have no idea. But I don't mind.
He brings me inside. "Is Adrian in here?"
I shake my head no. Alex nods.
"Where's your room?" He asks.
I point down the hall and Alex brings me there as I direct him silently. He puts me on my bed gently and I curl up on myself automatically. I start crying involuntarily and soon Alex is in the bed too. I'm picked up and back in his arms and he whispers sweet nothings to me.
Soon I fall asleep in his arms.

I wake up against something warm and I curl closer to it. Slowly I open my eyes, surprised to see... Alex!? The events of last night hit me and I wince.
"Morning beautiful." Alex says softly.
I look up at him, remembering just how much I missed these mornings. Suddenly I didn't care he cheated, I loved him too much. This wasn't something I could just 'get over' because I'm in love. But does he love me?
"Do you love me?" I blurt.
Alex looks at me in surprise. "Arya," he says slowly. "I never stopped loving you since I first met you."
I lean up and kiss him. I missed this too.
"I'm sorry for leaving." I whisper after pulling away. "I love you too. I never stopped loving you either."
"Arya, I really am sorry for that day. The woman claimed she was you." Alex explains. "She said she was you and that she came to the bar to see me. My drunk mind believed she was you, until I kissed her. I'd know your lips anywhere, they weren't yours. I pulled away, I promise."
"I forgive you." I say softly.
Alex leans down and kisses me and I kiss him back. I pull away soon after.
"I missed that." I whisper.
"I missed it too." Alex smiles.
