The Hendrick Guys

Part 11

Meanwhile at (Y/N)'s apartment

Your POV

"Its not true you know, what Chase said" Alex looks deep into your eyes holding your hands.
"Why would you go all awkward then and just straight up leave?! Honestly Alex i don't care, I've already told you this! I don't care if you did or not, i don't care if you storm off cause of it, i just give up!" You step back freeing your hands and turn away leaning against the window looking out, Alex doesn't react he just sits back down on the bed.
"I know you do care..." you turn to look at him and he starts talking again.
"You were hurt, we could all see that, thats why Mahkaila followed you to the bathroom,"
"That doesn't mean i care!" You shout at him. Alex went on,
"you came home and tried calling me, you even called William after not getting through to me saying you were worried. I heard everything (Y/N)," Alex stood back up and walked up to you.
"So tell me again how you don't care?" He watches your every move now as you move around him over to the bed sitting down on it, he turns and sits down beside you.

"(Y/N)... i promise you what Chase said was bullshit! I don't love Rachel, damn I've only spoken to her once!" He said softly to you while he slowly put his arm around you, you tilt your head and rest it on his shoulder,
"I love YOU, (Y/N). Nobody else."
"Wait what?" You stand up quickly stepping back away from Alex. He doesn't look up at you, he keeps his head down staring at his hands,
"just i..." Alex let out a big sigh,
"i really like you (Y/N)... honestly, I've liked you since we first ever met, I didn't wanna put my foot in when i found out you were with Oliver, that's why i was so quiet when you first started working with us... and the fact I'd just come out of a relationship. I hate him, always have done, but I didn't want to say anything to you when you first started at HMS in case you hated me, you really liked him and i knew that and I couldn't compete with that, you knew him first.." your eyes fill up listening to him talking,
"Alex..." you cut him off and walk towards him still sat on the bed, he looks up at you and stands up when you stop in front of him, you reach your arms around him and hug him, he does the same and rests his chin on your head.

"Can i tell you something, Alex?" You mumble into his chest, he lets go of you and you step back,
"you know I've always had a soft spot for you, right?" Alex smiles after you say this and looks down at his feet blushing,
"...and i love you too. And I'm sorry i reacted the way i did, I'm sorry i just took off without saying anything, and I'm really really sorry I didn't listen to y..." you get cut off by Alex grabbing your face kissing you, after a few seconds he pulls away and pulls you into a hug again,
"sorry but, i heard what i needed to hear and i needed to shut you up soooo," you cant help but smile after this knowing deep down you wanted the same for a long time, tears stream down your face.

He lets go of you and goes and lays on your bed grabbing the remote for the TV and searching for a movie,
"Now my jumper is covered in sadness... or is it happiness?" He says holding his jumper where you had just cried into him.
"Both i guess... you should get in touch with the guys and let them know you're ok! We were all worried about you." He rolls his eyes at you and grabs his phone turning it on.

You go to the bathroom and change into comfy clothes and get back to your room and get on the bed. Alex pulls you close to him and puts his arm over your shoulder, you lean into him and rest your arm on his chest. You watch as he messages in the group chat and adds William to it saying he's fine and will catch up with them tomorrow. He leans over to put his phone down making you move away while he moves and then rolls over onto his side propping himself up with his arm, he just stares at you and you cant help but smile,
"can i help you, Mr Bowman?" You say giving him a little smirk. He blushes a little and sits up,
"you could answer me a question?" You look at him confused and sit up grabbing your drink,
"go on..." you say taking a sip looking up at him while he's fidgeting with his hands.
"Well... whats going on with us? Can i... call you mine? Or are we just friends?" You choke on your drink a bit after he blurts it out and then you start laughing putting your drink down,
"Alex, you're so cute when your nervous! Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" You look at him biting your lip smirking, he looks at you smiling and gives you a little nod before shaking his head.
"I gotta do it properly hold up... (Y/N), will you be my girlfriend?" You laugh at him and crawl over to him sitting on his lap and wrap your legs around him, putting your arms around his neck,
"of course i will Alex," you say smiling as you both start kissing.
