Blissful Encounter (Alexa Bliss x OC)

Crossroads

Jackson stood frozen on his front porch, his mind swirling with a mix of confusion and desire. Livvy's unexpected arrival and their intense encounter left him questioning his own emotions and the path he had set for himself. He knew he needed to sort through his feelings before making any hasty decisions that could have lasting consequences.

With a heavy sigh, Jackson stepped inside his dorm room, finding it empty except for his roommate, Marvin, who was engrossed in a video game. Trying to push aside the chaos in his mind, Jackson greeted Marvin with a half-hearted smile.

"Hey, man," Jackson said, dropping his bag on his bed. "How's it going?"

Marvin paused the game and turned to face Jackson, raising an eyebrow. "You look like you've seen a ghost. Everything all right?"

Jackson rubbed his temples, trying to gather his thoughts. "I... I don't know, man. Something happened today that has left me feeling completely off balance."

Marvin leaned forward, concern evident in his voice. "Wanna talk about it?"

Jackson hesitated, uncertain of where to begin. He decided to start from the beginning, recounting the events of his day—the awkwardness with Alexa, the encounters with the persistent girls, the intense football practice, and finally, Livvy's unexpected arrival.

Marvin listened intently, nodding at key points. When Jackson finished, there was a moment of silence as they both absorbed the weight of the situation.

"You've got a lot on your plate, man," Marvin finally spoke, his voice filled with empathy. "It sounds like you're at a crossroads, trying to figure out what you truly want."

Jackson ran a hand through his hair, frustration evident on his face. "Yeah, that's exactly it. I thought coming here would give me a fresh start and a chance to build something real with Alexa. But now, with Livvy's sudden appearance and that... intense moment, I don't know what to do."

Marvin leaned back, contemplating his words carefully. "First, you need to take a step back and assess your feelings. What do you truly want? What does your heart tell you?"

Jackson pondered the question, closing his eyes as he searched his soul for clarity. "I care about Alexa, I really do. But when I'm with Livvy, there's this undeniable connection, a spark that I can't ignore."

Marvin nodded knowingly. "Sometimes, the heart doesn't follow a logical path. It's messy and unpredictable. But you owe it to yourself and those involved to be honest."

Jackson sighed, feeling the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders. "You're right, Marvin. I can't keep stringing Alexa along if my heart isn't completely in it. I need to talk to her, be upfront about what's been going on. It's only fair."

Marvin patted Jackson's shoulder reassuringly. "That's the right thing to do, my friend. Honesty and communication are key. And remember, it's okay to make mistakes. What matters is how you handle them."

Feeling a renewed sense of determination, Jackson thanked Marvin for his wisdom and headed out of the dorm room. He knew he needed to face the situation head-on and confront his own emotions.

The evening air was cool as Jackson made his way to Alexa's place. Thoughts swirled in his mind, and he rehearsed what he wanted to say, hoping to find the right words to convey his feelings honestly and respectfully.

When Alexa opened the door, a mixture of surprise and anticipation filled her eyes. Jackson took a deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Alexa, I need to talk to you," Jackson began, his voice steady but filled with sincerity. "I've been doing a lot of soul-searching today, and I've realized that my feelings are more complicated than I thought."

Alexa listened attentively, her expression a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

"I care about you, Alexa, but there's something inside me that is pulling me in another direction," Jackson continued, his voice laced with vulnerability. "I don't want to string you along or give you false hope. I think it's best if we take a step back and figure out what we truly want."

Alexa's face softened, and she nodded in understanding. "I've been feeling something similar, Jackson. It's been confusing for both of us. I appreciate your honesty."

They stood in silence for a moment, the weight of their words hanging in the air.

"We can take the time we need to figure things out," Alexa finally spoke, her voice gentle yet resolute. "Maybe we'll find our way back to each other, or maybe we'll discover new paths. But whatever happens, let's be open and honest with each other."

Jackson felt a sense of relief wash over him, grateful that Alexa understood and was willing to navigate this uncertain journey together.

As they parted ways for the evening, Jackson's thoughts turned to Livvy. He realized that their intense encounter didn't provide all the answers he sought. He needed to have a conversation with Livvy, too, to understand the complexities of their connection and what it meant for their future.

With a newfound clarity, Jackson returned to his dorm room, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The path was still unclear, but he knew that by being true to himself and those involved, he would eventually find his way.
