A/N: Hello, everybody!
Thank you, thank you so much for all of you that have been favoriting, leaving comments and being part of Sean and Lexi's story.
I wanted to bring a chapter before christmas but hopefully I'll be back on sunday with another one.
No one had kissed her like Sean Wallace.
There was nothing she could compare to, because she had only kissed a few times in her life but it was soft, warm and felt nice.
Lexi felt the male hands sink into her hair as hers cupped his face. His red beard itched her skin in a nice way. Sean had an amazing perfume – strong and sophisticated, just like himself.
"Fuck" Lexi heard him say.
She opened her eyes when Sean's lips parted from her's and his face seemed farther away. Lexi was still holding his face, but Sean no longer had his hands in her hair. He held the steering wheel with both hands.
"Lexi, I'm sorry." Sean said shaking his head. "I just got carried away by the moment."
"No girl wants to get an apology when she kisses a guy." Lexi muttered a little disappointed.
Sean's reaction was a nervous laugh. Obviously Lexi didn't see the problem of all that situation.
"You are seventeen. You're turning seventeen today, actually." Sean said looking at her. "I...I understand that these things happen. We've known each other since childhood, I was friends with Dmitri..."
"Honestly, Sean. I am not that cliché." Lexi interrupted him. "I didn't kiss you because I have a pathetic crush on you. I mean, yes, I had a little childhood crush on you, but it was a long time ago. I kissed you now because I'm attracted to you and because I wanted to feel alive. I haven't felt this way for a long time, Sean."
Lexi didn't want to cry because otherwise she would just prove Sean's point about her being too young to understand her own feelings. She would hold the embarrasment tears until she was alone in her bedroom.
"You are...you are still a child." Sean said, putting a hand on the girl's shoulder. "I don't want to hurt you, but we can't be more than just friends, Alexandra. Okay?".
He called her by her name and not her nickname.
Lexi turned to him.
"Look at me" She said in a harsh voice "Really, look at me."
"I am" Sean replied impatiently.
"No, you are not. If you were you would see that I'm not a fucking child!" Lexi yelled at him, enraged.
Though the tears said otherwise, he didn't dare to object. Lexi was struggling with depression and grief, and Sean wasn't good at dealing with crying women. He wanted to hug her, but Lexi pushed him away and asked to take her home.
"I brought you pizza."
Lexi was very comfortable on the library couch, a blanket protected her from the cold, and she wore her prescription glasses as she typed something on her laptop.
She looked at the door and saw Sean. He had changed his funeral clothes into something more comfortable and homey. He had a soft look, seemed calmer and less stressed than earlier.
"Thanks" She said and motioned for Sean to come over. "I am hungry."
It was already 11 p.m. Lexi hadn't eaten anything but toast and tea all day.
