The one✨

Sleep over

Margarrett's P.O.V

I texted Alex to come over and he got to my house in 10 minutes.
"Hey" he smiled and hugged me.
"Hi" I said returning the smile, a little weak though.
I guess he noticed
"Are you ok?" He said now frowning
"Oh, yeah. Come on let's watch a movie." I said walking down to the living room, I got a call.
"Hello?" I answered
"Hey dear are you okay?"
I had forgotten my mom had a business trip to go to for a week, and had left my brother in charge.
Smart huh?
"Yeah mom I'm fine."
"Where's your brother?" She asked
"He said he's staying over a friends house" I explained
She sighed.
"I don't feel comfortable with you in that house all alone." She said
"Oh. It's fine mom. Alex will stay with me." I said coming up with that on the spot.
"Uhmm...." She thought for a few seconds "He seems trustworthy, so I'll allow it But, You better not be pregnant by the time I come back." She warned
I laughed "I won't mom." I rolled my eyes
"Alright, be safe baby I love you."
"I love you too mom, bye " I said and hung up .
Alex was smirking "so I'm spending the night?" He asked
I sighed. "Seem so. But don't get any ideas, it's just this night." I said sternly
"Yeah yeah, whatever. But I don't have my clothes, or a brush." He said
"I would offer you Jordan's clothes but he doesn't like when people where his stuff, so you'd have to get your stuff from your house and come back" I said
"Okay be back in 10" he threw his key up and caught it while walking out the door.
I searched for a movie to watch and I picked Pitch Perfect 2. Right after I did I got out a snack, Popcorn and soda. It was only 2:30 and the movie was an hour 55 minutes, by the time we were done it would be time to make dinner.
Alex arrived with a backpack.
"The guest rooms upstairs on the right." I said.
He frowned "Awh. I was hoping I'd stay with you."
"You wish" I laughed and pushed him
He laughed and went to put his stuff away.
When he came we were set to watch.
We watched and it was really good and funny. Alex actually laughed at some moments. When the movie was done it was past 4, because of all the pauses we had to make to use the bathroom and get things, so I had to make dinner before watching another.
"Alright I'm going to make dinner" I said getting up.
"Alright" he said and continued on his phone. I heard he had gotten a call from his mom too, she was on the business trip with my mom.
I walked in the kitchen and got the materials to make fried chicken, with Chinese fried rice. My mom had taught me to cook and I've been doing it since I was 8.
I was cooking the chicken when I felt a hand wrap around my waist.
"Ooh, fried chicken. My favorite" Alex said in my ear.
"Alright you mind moving? hot oil and the both of us wouldn't be a good combination." I said still attending to my chickens
"Alright," he kissed my cheek and left
When I finished my chicken and fried rice with apple cider as our drink, I was really proud of myself.
I set up the table with our food and called Alex.
" damn. Hooked me up real good!" He said smiling and sitting down.
I smiled and sat down as well, and we began to eat.
"This.." Alex began between bites
"This, is Amazing! How'd you learn to cook?" He asked
I beamed "my mom taught me at 5 and I did a meal at 8 for my dad." I kind of whispered the last part remembering my dad and frowned.
Alex looked at me with concern
I quickly smiled and continued
"I've been practicing with other stuff since then, and gotten really good, but not as good as my mom." I said eating my chicken now
"Well you might even cook better than my mom" he sipped his cider and we continued eating.
"You can cook, and your beautiful, love music, and your a straight A student. Anything else I needa know?" He asked now done with his food.
I laughed "No I'm pretty sure I've told you everything" I said done with my food too.
I started drinking my cider.
"How about your dad?" he asked seriousness on his face.
I paused my drinking and put my cup down, and looked at my hands.
I haven't talked about or to him ever since he left.
"Or you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I'm fine with that." He said
"No it's okay, I want to tell you." I insisted. why not? I mean he knows everything else and the past month we've been hanging out I feel like I can trust him.
"My whole family was happy at the beginning." I paused "then things started going south. When I was 9 years old my dad and mom were arguing constantly, and he would always come home in the night drunk and had always cheated on my mom. My mom didn't have the job she did now, and we were kind of struggling because my dad had lost his job. He was devastated that he couldn't help and he couldn't find another job. so he'd drink the pain away. When he came home my mom and him would argue." I swallowed the lump that was in my throat. I felt my eyes tear up.
"Margarrett you can stop.." Alex said
"Then one day him and my mom got into an argument and he hit her... I tried to stop him but he hit me too.
Luckily my brother came and beat him up." I felt a tear roll down my cheek
"We called the police And he got arrested for domestic violence for 10 years... Before he had gone he said, that he'd never meant to do that to me and my mother and that he's sorry, and he still loved us no matter what." I wiped away my tear and got up. Alex got up and engulfed me in a hug.
"I'm so sorry." He said
"I wouldn't ever dream of hurting you like that in my life." He said this with so much seriousness that I had to believe him.
"Thank you" I whispered
"Anytime baby girl" he said.
We pulled away from our hug and i went to the bathroom to blow my nose and freshen my face up.
I looked at the time. It was 6:00.
We could watch 2 more movies until I get tired and sleep.
I came back and say on the couch next to Alex. I picked The Last Song as our next movie. I snuggled into Alex and my head came to a realization.
I love Alex.
