Alex's POV
I love this boy I think to myself. I really am happy I'm here, with him. I could literally stay here hugging him forever.
I'm still hugging him while I start to doze off...
*15 minutes later*
I am awoken to someone carrying me, I feel like we're moving but the person holding me isn't moving at all.
"Huh, what's going on?" I say groggily
"Morning sleeping beauty", I hear a voice say.
I open my eyes and see Johnnie carrying me with my bookbag on his back in the elevator. He's smiling at me.
"Why are you carrying me?" I ask, I'm really confused.
"Well, you were sleeping on me, and you've been on a plane for like eight hours, so I let you sleep and just carried you."
I wrap my arms around his neck and nuzzle my face into his shoulder and try to go back to sleep "thanks", I say before falling asleep in his arms.
Johnnies POV
The elevator stops on our floor. I unlock the door with my free hand. Wow Alex is really light... I look around, no one is here yet. I check my phone and see I have a text from Bryan.
Hey dude, we stopped at chipotle and then were gonna go and explore for a while. You and Alex can come meet us here.
Hey man she's asleep, I'm just gonna stay here, if that's cool.
Yeah bro that's cool, we'll be back in a few hours.
OK cool.
I go to my room and put Alex's bags down, I guess she was going to stay in my room so she didn't have to sleep on the couch.
She's holding on to me pretty tight, I mean I'm only hold her with one hand on her back, she has her legs wrapped around my torso and her arms around my neck. I lean over my bed and go to set her down but she doesn't let go. I then trip over her bag and we fall sideways onto my bed, she's still holding onto me.
"Johnnie what was that?" She asks,
"Sorry I tripped, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
She finally unwraps herself from me and shifts her body around. I go to get up but she grabs my arm.
"Don't leave, I'm scared to be in here alone. It's dark", asked says with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Okay Alex, let me grab a pillow and I'll lay here on the floor right next to the bed. Okay?"
"Okay", she says, its dark so I can't see her features, but I can tell she's smiling.
I lean over her and grab a pillow. I plop down on the ground next to the bed, we're pretty much right next to each other since my bed is just a mattress on the floor.
"Johnnie?", Alex says
"Yeah?"
"Hold my hand so I know you don't leave"
I give her my hand and she interlaces our fingers.•••
-BAM-
"Johnnie!" Alex screams in horror
"What?"
"I'm scared!"
I get up off the floor and sit in the bed next to her, she sits next to me, she still never let go of my hand. I take me hand away from hers and put my arm around her so she feels safer.
"Calm down, its just a thunder storm."
I get up from the bed and turn on a very small lamp so that the room is dimly lit. I then grab my phone to check the time. 1:30am is what my phone reads. I text Bryan.
Hey, where are you guys?
Hey dude, we're still out, we're playing indoor mini golf. Still gonna be a few hours till we decide to come home. How are you guys.
Good ttyl
"Is everything okay?" Asks Alex.
"Huh? Oh yeah yeah definitely",
"Hey, uh wanna watch a movie?" I ask awkwardly
"Sure"
