*two months later*

Karl had recently been moved to start filming for Mr. Beast rather than his brother, Mr. Bro. That means his schedule had been a lot busier trying to catch up and get used to being around everyone. Meaning, Alex has been alone a lot more recently.

Today though, he had to be on camera for the first time since working for them. She was very happy for him as he was beyond excited and couldnt stop talking about it. She was about to meet him at the car, when she was stopped by a text from a new number.

***-***-****

Hi! This is Jimmy! I hope you remember me and this isn't very weird, but I know Karl said you were dropping him off so I thought I'd extend the offer of you sticking around.

sure, sounds like fun!

Okay, great! See you soon!

yeah! byee!

"Hey, Im gonna end up sticking around, Jimmy just asked me to."

"Alright, just don't give away my hiding spot." He spoke with a smile, pulling the hood of his sweatshirt up.

She drove to the address with the directions of Karl and arrived seeing cars but nobody around.

"Jimmy says they're in this building over here." He says, pointing to the building. She nods and gets out if the car, pulling the sleeves of her long sleeve down to cover her hands. It was very fucking cold, and she didnt dress in layers.

"Hey, guys, how are you?" Jimmy asked, pulling both into a hug.

"Im fucking cold, to be honest Jimmy." Alex said, rubbing her arms to try to warm herself up. "I feel bad for everyone hiding, its supposed to snow."

"Lex, it started snowing when we got in here." Karl said, pulling off his hoodie and handing it to her since he had another one on underneath.

"You're gonna get cold, get out of here." Alex said, nudging him softly before realizing he was warm and cuddling into his chest.

"Oh, you want me to leave?"

"No, fuck you, im cold. I blame Jimmy, he asked me to come."

"What? You agreed!" Jimmy laughed, watching as everyone got set up with cameras.

"You were taking my boyfriend- or- i mean- my best friend."

"Your what now?" Karl asked, looking down with a smile that stopped her heart. That was the minute she knew, she knew she wanted him back one day. She just didnt know when that day was.

"Shut up." She whispered, gripping onto his jacket and burying her head into him. He brought his hand up and played with her hair while laughing off the slip up.

"Karl has a girlfriend confirmed?!" Chris yelled, jumping up and down around him.

"No, not confirmed yet." Karl said.

"Yet! He said yet boys!" Chandler said with a laugh, just as happy for him.

"Guys, he's blushing." Jimmy pointed out.

"You're a bunch of dicks, arent you." Karl phrased as a statement, smiling ear to ear. "I gotta go get ready, Lex."

Alex nodded and pulled away, standing along the back wall, smiling at Karl and his stupid smile.

"You like him."

"And somehow, we've been here before." Alex said, looking at Jimmy who came and stood next to her.

"Those are all of his clothes, even the long sleeve underneath."

"Yeah, Jimmy, i like him. Im falling back in love with that boy, dude." She said, her eyes never leaving Karl's smiling face as he messed around with Chris who was trying to help him.

"Trust me when i say, he's in love with you too."

"He sure is Jimmy, he's looked at me the same way since we were fourteen years old. I wouldnt trade that kid for the world. I just need to stop being scared of the future and focus on now."

"Yeah, you do. He'd wait forever for you, but i know you don't want him to wait too long." Jimmy said, walking away with a smile and winking at her. Karl walked over and hugged her pretty quickly.

"Im not sure how long this will go, but if it goes on too late can we stay at yours again?" He asked, smiling down at her. She nodded before finally making a move of her own. She leaned up and kissed him gently, grabbing the hem of his hoodie for something to hold on to. He kissed back, moving his hands to her cheeks.

"That was a nice way to say good-luck."

"Yeah, maybe i should do it more often."

Alex was helping film behind the scenes so Tareq could film elsewhere as well. She was filming the moments before Karl was getting caught. Chris caught him and felt terribly about it.

"You filmed it, how could you." Karl said dramatically as they sat down against the wall, waiting for everyone to clear out.

"I was just trying to help, Kar, it's fine." She said with a soft yawn, leaning her head on Karl's shoulder.

"It's sixty thousand dollars i just lost, Alex, how is that nothing." He asked, giggling as he looked down at her.

"Yeah, well maybe you should've lost earlier you could've showered hours ago."

"Are you trying to say i smell."

"That is exactly what i am saying, Karl."

"Let me shower and i'll join you." Karl said, walking into the bathroom with a towel and his clothes. She was on her computer playing Minecraft, zoned into her world. She gave a quick hum in concentration and worked on her house some more. The world was now four years old, but she added Karl in after hearing him beg for four days. The world was beaten, she just was building onto it. It reminded her of her world on her laptop back home.

After close to half an hour, he came back in and joined on the girl's MacBook, logging into his own account. She saw the message pop up that he joined and smiled, looking at her bed with a smile.

"I didn't even hear you come back in."

"I'm stealthy." He said with his signature giggle. She smiled and turned back to her computer screen. They played for a long time, most of the time being Alex killing Karl or teasing him. He then tried burning down her house in retaliation which started burning her entire forest around it which ended in her screaming out in rage and killing him to release her frustration. All in good fun though, of course.

"Let's go to sleep, Alex." Karl said, forcing the tired girl out of her chair.

"But were having fun." She said with a yawn.

"We can have more fun tomorrow after my hangout with the boys, deal?"

"Deal." She said, logging off and shutting down her PC before crawling into the bed with Karl. She almost immediately passed out and Karl just watched as she curled into his side for warmth.

"You will always be my favorite." He whispered softly and pressed a small kiss to her head.
