I Love A Challenge (Alex Babinski Fanfic)

Chapter Three

What? He wanted to talk? What could we possibly need to talk about? I wracked my brain, trying to find something I had done wrong; but honestly I couldn't think of anything significant. Maybe I accidentally shrunk one of his shirts in the wash, or I borrowed money from him and forgot to pay it back. My mind was racing a million miles as minute when Brian sighed and said, "It's about Alex."

Knowing what the topic was still didn't help to calm me down as I desperately tried to figure out why on Earth he would want to talk to me about Alex. Did he think I was interested in him? Brian knew I didn't go for guys like that; he should know that there was nothing to worry about. I swallowed hard, trying to convince myself I was overthinking. "Alex?" I said shakily, "What about him?"

"I don't want you to feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing," he began, leading back to the living room. "I just want to make sure that you know about Alex." I gave him a look as if to say 'Know what?'. "I just need you to know that when it comes to girls, he's a complete douche bag, like the king of asshole, if there was a player city..."

"I get it, he's a dick," I laughed, rolling my eyes as I cut him off.

"I just want you to know that he's gonna flirt with you, he flirts with everybody and as your brother, I feel the need to protect you," I watched as he struggled to find his words. "Just stay away from him ok?"

I practically snorted trying to contain my own laughter, "You don't have to tell me twice." Part of me was almost offended that my own brother didn't know I was smart enough to stay away from someone like Alex.

Brian relaxed as he let out a small laugh, "Alright, I just wanted to make sure. Now go get some sleep kid. It's late, I'll see you in the morning."

Groaning at his nickname for me and resisting the urge to remind him that I was only 2 years younger than him, I left the living room and retired to my bed. As I was trying to fall asleep I found myself constantly thinking about Alex, no matter how hard I tried not to. I knew I didn't have feelings for him, I mean we had just met, and he had proven to be a major asshole; but he was a cute asshole. Man was he a cute asshole though. I couldn't have feelings for him though, that was impossible, right? I fell asleep before I was able to come to a conclusion.

The next morning at breakfast, Brian reminded me that the band was practicing again that afternoon at 11:00; and I silently thanked God that I had other editing work to do so I wouldn't have to be around Alex. I really enjoyed filming things for the band and it was great publicity, but after last night I wanted to stay away from Alex for a little bit. When I heard the doorbell ring I quickly grabbed some food and ran to my room, only stopping briefly to say hello to Lynn. In the comfort of my room I spent the day working on my portfolio I would be submitting for film school. There was knock at my door. "Come in," I called. I was expecting Brian, probably asking me about lunch or something but when I looked up my eyes were met with a tall, lean, Alex running his fingers through his hair. "What are you doing up here?" I scowled.

"Nice to see you too," he chuckled, taking another step into my bedroom.

I rolled my eyes, "Were you hoping I would be undressing?"

"Maybe," he chuckled, running his fingers along my dresser. "I came up here to make sure you didn't get any cuter since I last saw you, but it looks like you have. You're such a bad girl," he winked. I pretended to gag. "No really, what's it gonna take for me to get you?"

"I'm not letting you into my pants, Babinkski," I sneered.

He threw up his hands in mock surrender, "I didn't wanna get into your pants, I wanted to take you on a date."

"Well you can't do that either."

Alex took another step towards me, "Can I at least kiss you?"

I shook my head. "Don't come any closer." I turned away from him, "You could find another girl much more willing to let you bang her, why waste all this time over me?"
