WATCHERS AND PLAYERS

*

Alexis has been pacing back and forth.

She was told in her last semester that if she took an extra class and passed with straight A's, she wouldn't have to be at college for another year. She would graduate and finally have her degree. Luke and Ashton had a meeting with their new team. Scarlett and Calum have booked a little vacation, and Eve is busy with her job applications. She's got no one to talk to, whether she failed or passed.

Impatiently, she keeps looking at her phone. For yet another hour, she has to wait. If she gets the call, she will hear whether she passed or not. She is not the strongest at waiting, and definitely not when it's waiting for this type of news.

Usually, Luke or Ashton is beside her, and they know exactly how to calm her down. She doesn't know how to do that on her own. Besides, if she has to wait for something important, she could be calling anyone. Right now, she can't. She hates it. She has been complaining about it internally ever since she woke up.

LEXIE <3 [15:35]
hey, how's the thing with the new team going?
i hope they're more fun than those immature pigs.
i miss you
it has been a long week without you

LU <3 [15:37]
they seem decent, but i don't know them that well
i miss you too, pretty girl
i'll see you tonight, okay?

LEXIE <3 [15:37]
tonight?

LU <3 [15:37]
yes, tonight
i'm staying over
without clothes

Alexis bites her lip as she sees the image in her head. She would fucking love to spend the night with him without clothes. Honestly, she has been waiting for him to make a move. Last month, when he gave her the massage, she already thought she was making it very obvious by literally flashing him. Apparently, that hint wasn't taken.

However, last night, she couldn't contain herself. She went shopping and found the perfect lingerie. With that being said, she made some... Pictures. She didn't feel confident enough to send them, but looking at those right now, she definitely does. Luke wouldn't spread them. Last week, when Eve and Alexis weren't around, Luke got mad because Ashton looked at her boobs. There's no way he's going to spread those pictures.

LEXIE <3 [15:42]
until then... i got something for you
*image*

LU <3 [15:42]
holy fuck
i go to the toilet one time, and you decide to give me a boner

LU <3 [15:59]
i'm still looking at it
you look so beautiful

Alexis feels her cheeks heat up at the comment. She has never sent such a picture to him, but given the little reaction, he really does appreciate it. And given the time between the messages, he definitely got himself off.

Suddenly, she gets out of her thoughts at the excruciating sound of her ringtone. She never really calls anyone, and nobody really calls her. So, she never found the need to change it. But it is horrifying. She quickly grabs her phone to swipe the green button.

After a short phone call, it's official. The straight-A student has officially passed all her tests and is done with school. She never knew what to do after. She never put any thought into it. However, she has to pay less now that school is over. That also means she can work more. Maybe someday, she can get her own apartment. Please don't get her wrong, though. She loves Ashton, and she loves everything about living together, but you can't live with your best friend forever, right?
