An unlikely alliance

Chapter 2-Avery

"It's in my bag" I tell him, he reaches for my purse to get my house keys.

 I've been complaining about my ex for what feels like for ever and he listened to every word i say it was 2am when we got back to my place, he insisted on driving me me back home since i was drunk and he didn't drink anything the whole time we were there.

He unlocks my door and walk me to my to my bed "Do you need anything else" Alex says "It's 2 am you should go home and rest you have already done so much. And I probably won't remember anything tomorrow so if i ask don't remind me I dont want things to be weird between us."He does a slight nod and turn around to leave "wait Alex, Thank you... alot"he smile at me and says "Any days" and leave.

I wake up with the worst headache imaginable, I look at my phone to see that I called Alex but I don't remember anything from last night the last thing I remember is Josh breaking up with me. I call Alex to know what happened last night .

"Alex, I called you last night but I don't remember why could you tell me what we talked about?"

"You just professed your undying love to me" 

"Seriously alex what happened?"He goes quiet for a moment before speaking again.

"I really don't know, you called me I picked up and you didn't say anything else so i hung up my best guess is that you butt dialed me"

"ok thanks. are you free today, you can come to my place later" He doesn't answer so i continue my sentence quickly but there's any confusion "so we can review the case, there's 5 days left and we didn't figure anything out yet "

"Yeah sorry i was doing something but I can come over later."

"Ok well see you later, bye"

 I hang up the call and make my way over to the bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror and i look disgusting my hair is messy, makeup running down my face and a crumpled version of my favorite blue dress, yesterday had to be the worst day of my life if it ended with me looking like this. I decided to take a quick shower and brush my teeth I redid my makeup before getting out of the bathroom.

I went to the kitchen to make when i heard the doorbell I open the door to see Alex "Wat are you doing here at" I look at my watch before continuing "9am" 

"You told me to come by your house later" Alex says "By later I meant 1 or 2pm not 9am." 

"Well guess next you should specify the time"

"There will be no next time not after the stunt you just pulled. What kind of psycho goes into someone house at 9am "

"I know your mad and all that but could you please let me in because it is cold out here" I look at him and he seems to be shivering he didn't bring any kind of jacket or scarf to go out in the middle of november. I look at him amazed "AND you come with a simple t-shirt and pants in the middle of November if i didn't know any better i would think you had a death wish." I let out a sigh and say "fine you can come in i'll turn on the heater "He comes in my house and i turn on the heater.
