chapter 16: let me tell you Cole, you're fat!

Lexi's POV:
I kissed Cole.
I had to.
seeing his eyes for the first time made my heart drop to my stomach.
I had never seen so much pain through one persons eyes.
he is so hurt.
so damaged.
and apparently kind of super natural or something.
we kissed for ever.
I dont really know how long.
it could have been two minutes, or maybe and hour.
if it was two minutes those were the two most fucking amazing minutes of my life.
Cole finally opened up to me. He trusted me with the truth. everything makes sense now. all the realistic dreams i had with cole in them, finally make sense.
did Cole tell me everything? no. there is still so much I don't know, but what he told me is enough for now.
He showed me his beautiful green eyes, with all the pain and vulnerability displayed in them for me to see, and I couldn't admire him more.

Cole and I are lying on the trimmed grass silently, side by side.
the stars are beautiful.
"lexy" Cole whispers after a good 5 minutes of silence.
"yes?" I whisper back
"are.. are you going to run away from me? was that our goodbye kiss?" Coles voice is hurt. I'm so used to hearing his cold, strictly under control voice when he is speaking seriously, that I gasp at the evident emotion in his voice.
"Never" I say.
"Are you scared of me?" he asks.
"Well I mean the way you manhandled me onto your motorcycle today, while I was mad at you i might add, was pretty scary! I mean, you know how stubborn I am! what if I would have not held onto you and fallen off the motorcycle and died?! and don't get me started on... "

"Lexi!" Cole inturupts me seriously. oops.. did I give him the wrong answer? I catch him smiling though, so I got what I wanted
"No Cole, I am not scared of you. not in the slightest." I tell him seriously.
"unless you're secretly a serial killer, who made up a bunch of supernatural bullshit just to get me to trust you, only to kill me in an empty, huge field, where no one can hear me scream. in that case I may have to rethink my answer" I add.

Cole smiles again, and that makes me smile.
seeing his eyes squint slightly when he smiles makes my day.
Hell it makes my whole freaking year!
suddenly Cole jumps over me, pinning my arms down to the ground.
"Hey, I know some people may be mistaken by your perfectly muscular physique, but let me tell you Cole, you're fat! now get the hell off of me, you're squishing my poor ribs" I whine, attempting to push him off of me.
Cole laughs and pulls his body up onto his hands, holding himself up over me.
"Maybe I want to squish your ribs." Cole says, teasingly

"well thats rude. why would you want to do that?" I question him

"Because I want to.
and besides, you called me fat" he pouts.
I groan in annoyance, trying to push him off of me again, and giving up soon after when he doesn't budge.
"you're annoying." I tell him
"and why's that?" he asks me.
"because you won't get your fat body off me!" I shout
"If i am recalling correctly, which I believe I am, I think you like my so called 'fat body' or was it- my perfectly muscular physique?" Cole smirks
shoot.. did I say that?
I blush
"Don't worry, I get that a lot" Cole smirks, and shit, i think im jelous. Cole seems to notice the change in my attitude, because he moves his face so close to mine that some longer strands of his dark hair touch my face, and he whispers-
"Compliments meant nothing to me until they came from you " I gasp.
"you're so corny!" I yell at him, even though he practically melted my drum beating heart.
"Since you're not going to run away from me, is it okay if i kiss you now?" cole asks bluntly
"no."
"no?" he questions with a smirk, inching himself closer to me, torturously slow.
I smile.
then I lean my face forward a bit, enough to reach Coles, placing my lips softly on his.

"no" i whisper on Coles parted lips.

Lexis POV:

"Alright buddy. talk." I order
"About what? Lexi, you're wrong! I don't know what you're talking about" mason frowns. we are currently sitting on my bed, me in my awesome flowy PJ shorts, and my loose coca cola tank, and mason in his loose v- neck T-shirt and light washed jeans.
mason drove me back from school today, and decided we should hang out.
I quickly turned that into a bff girl to girl talk. well, girl to boy talk, that is...
"mason. come on. you like her! I can tell." I push him
"Lexi! I don't like her! I have never liked her, and I will never like her! she's not my type, and last time I checked I hated her" he points out.
"fine, if you say so Mase."
"good. can we go play video games now?" Mase asks, thinking I have dropped it.
Ha!
"okay. just one more thing" I smirk.
"what?" mason asks in annoyance.
"tell me what you hate about Riley."
"what I hate? are you sure you want to hear all this? I mean.. she is your best friend after all"
I nod.
"okay.. where to begin.. I hate the way she argues with me. well actually its kind of amusing.. no! i.. I hate it! and I hate the way she always calls me gay! ya, I hate that. and um.. i ah. can't think of any more... but I hate her, okay?!" mason gushes, a confused look on his face.
"okay" I say calmly.
"Now tell me what you like about her"
"what I like? I don't like anything about her Lexi! we just went over this, I hate her!" mason whines
"okay. you can hate someone and still like something about them.
for example, I hate Nicole miller. but.. I guess I kinda like the way she.. um.. the way she knows exactly what she wants, and how to get it. I wish I could do that. your turn. what do you like about Riley?"
"fine. but after this we better play video games. and make me food. lots of food." He warns me.
I laugh
"okay mason. I'll make you food. now stop stalling, and tell me what you like about Riley, damn it!"
"okay, jeas woman! I like her smile, okay? its pretty.
and I like her eyes, and the way they bright up in the sun, and when she thinks she has a one million dollar idea.
I like her laugh.
And to be honest I think I actually enjoy the way she makes fun of me all the time.. and how she can probably beat the shit out of half the guys on the foofootball team.."

I clear my throat, smiling

"holy shit! Lexi.. I.. I think I fucking like Riley!"

"No duh sherlock! ding ding ding! we have a winner!" I yell.

mason grunts

"how did I not know this?"

"mason. you're a guy. 'nough said."
mason roles his eyes
"can we eat now?" mason asks
"fine. just one more thing."
"what now?"
I start crawling towards mason, in my bed slowly, untill I reach his ear. then i whisper
"mason loves Riley" and start giggling
mason pushes me off of him, embarrassed and starts chasing me.
I make it half way down stairs, laughing and gasping for air, before mason catches up to me and throws me over his shoulder

"mason loves Riley, mason loves Riley" I chant, while hanging upside down over masons broad shoulder, yelling out for the empty house to hear

mason grumbles something under his breath, and finally puts me down on the kitchen counter.
"shut up, and make me food" he orders.
"yes sir!" I comply, giggling.

"lover boy" I add

Coles POV:

"are you sure about this?"
"I've never been more sure about anything in my life." I answer her.
"Cole." Ginny lifts an eyebrow.
"fine. no. of course I'm not sure! I'm fucking terrified!" I admit
"but Ginny, I love her."
"you're such a hopeless romantic" she hits me playfully. I laugh.
didn't think Ginny would take the news this easy.
This conversation is, of course, after 10 minutes of her cussing me out repetidly.
but 10 minutes of yelling really isn't too bad. I thougt she would be much angrier, and give me a black eye or something.
"as I recall, I believe you hated Lexi when you first met her. I'm pretty sure you called her a slut." I mention, stupidly.
"hmm.. well I was testing her." she shrugs her small shoulders.
I lift an eyebrow, urging her to explain further.
"I wanted to see if I can scare her off, you know, shake her up a little." she informs me.
I smile at the thought of my ten year old sister 'shaking someone up', sure Ginny is pretty tough and everything, and if I didn't know her and she talked to me the way she talks to other people I would probably be pretty damn terrified.. but I know the real Ginny, the sweet girl I would practically murder for, the girl who means the world to me. my amazing, beautiful, talented half sister who I protect like the worlds greatest tressure.
"Enough about your mushy love life, on other news, Derek Evans kissed me today."
"some fucking douch kissed you ???" I all but shout in anger
"aren't you like ten? I thought it would be a few years before I had to start breaking kids limbs.. never mind that now, give me his address and I'll go beat the shit outa him" I order.
"calm down Hercules, I punched him in the face and got sent to the principals office, which reminds me, I need you to sign this" Ginny says, handing me a white paper.
"that's my girl" I smirk, taking the paper and forging moms signature under the black printed words asking for a parents signature.
"thanks" she says, grabbing the paper and walking away.
"and I may also need a parent to show up tomorrow at school and inform my asshole of a principal that the dick was asking for it" she mumbles under her breath quickly, while walking out of the kitchen and towards the stairs.
"wait I second, what the hell did you just say? absolutely not! I am not doing that again, Ginny! the first time was enough!" I scream to her from the kitchen
"Well too bad. I already got your mustache dry cleaned, so you have to go!"
"you did what??!! there is no way in hell I am wearing that hairy beast under my nose again!" I yell.
"thanks so much Cole! you're the coolest!" she yells from upstairs, pretending not to hear me.
I growl.
I guess Im coming late to class tomorrow.
oh no! I'll miss a class!
I laugh under my breath.
like I give a shit, I smirk.
