Save Your Heart For Someone Who Leaves You Breathless

Chapter 14: If These Sheets Were the States

Katie's P.O.V

     We all walk back to the house and realize Alex took Derek's car. I walk into my room and see Alex left me a note. It read, "Meet me on the beach at 7. Love, Alex." I get dressed into white shorts and a blue flowy shirt. I curl my hair and am on my way.

     I walk on the beach to see nothing there but a blanket layed out on the sand. I sit down and after a couple minutes Alex comes up behind me covering my eyes. I hear a russling and he uncovers them. There was a beautiful arrangment of flowers in front of me."Aw! Thank you so much Lex. I love them! But why did you bring me here tonight?"

     He looks at me and says,"I wanted you all to myself. There are way too many guys around and you are way to God damn beautiful. I want to play you this song I wrote." He takes out one of Alex G's guitars and pulls out a pick. He starts playing and at first I don't quite understand. At least until he gets to the chorus. He gains power in his voice and sings," If these sheets were the states and you were miles away I'd throw them end over end to bring you closer to me because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me. I'll settle for long distance calls. I'm lost in empty pillow talk again."

     He finishes and I clap for him. "It may not be the sweetest song or the most though provoking but it's about you," he tells me acting shy.

     "I love it don't worry," I say back. The song was flawless like him. His voice makes it perfect. His voice could make anything perfect.

     "Come here." Alex takes my hand and pulls me up with him. He hold me as we sway in the wind together.

     He starts humming Jamie All Over in my ear and I whisper to him," It's like we're back in my kitchen again but this time it's much better. This is much better."

     I rest my head on his chest as he says,"This is much better becasue now you're mine." He picks up my chin and kisses me. "We met by chance but to me this was fate. I love you."

     I look up at him and smile,"Alex..I love you too."
