Playing With Fire ( BECKFREEN G!P)

Part 7

"I was wondering if you wanted to come away with me next weekend. I have tickets for 'Love never dies' in London's west end. It's the new phantom of the opera." Alex had only been back a matter of minutes before he threw that on me. "You can say no, Freen. I just thought you might enjoy it," Alex laughed at my reaction.

"No, it sound's wonderful." I was blushing a little. "I'm not sure about staying over. I mean, I thought we were just friends?"

"Freen, we are. We would have separate rooms." Alex smiled. "I don't want to ruin what we have, not when it will end up meaning more to us eventually." Alex was so sweet. It was refreshing not to be suffocated into a relationship. Alex was letting me find my feelings in my own time.

"Oh right," I smiled. "In that case - I would love too."

"Great," Alex beamed before going back to eating her dinner. I had lost track of the number of meals he had taken me on, but they always ended the same way - with a soft kiss on the cheek. I had no idea what Alex meant to me, but he was one of the most decent men I had ever met.

"Jane was rambling on about a nightclub you used to go to while we were away," Alex asked, as we pulled up outside my house. "She said you and Nam were taking her. I was wondering if I might be able to join you?"

I was stunned. "Um . . .. I'm not sure when we are going."

"She said you were going on Friday."

"She did?"

"Nam called her while we were away. Didn't she tell you?"

"No, she didn't." Damn Nam, I was going to kill her.

"If you didn't want me to come, I would understand," Alex looked wounded. "I know I haven't really made my attentions clear, but truthfully Freen, I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you in my entire life." My mouth went dry as Alex moved closer. Crap. "You have bewitched me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"What happened to taking it slow, Alex?" I smiled, backing away as his lips became a little too close to mine. I wasn't ready for this yet. I wasn't sure what I wanted.

"I am falling in love with you Freen," Alex whispered. "I can't help myself."

"Alex, I need more time," I smiled nervously opening the car door. "I'll see you Friday, okay?"

"You are letting me join you?"

"Yes," I smiled, just wanting to get away from her. "Thank you for a wonderful evening," I smiled getting out of the car, but Alex followed. he was always the gentleman - walking me to my front door.

"I love spending time with you," Alex whispered leaning in to kiss my cheek. As she moved she unexpectedly kissed my lips. I had no idea what to do. If I pushed her off I would offend him. I was so confused with my feelings. I had no idea what to do, so I simply kissed him back. Alex's kiss was soft and loving. he wrapped her arms gently around my waist, pulling me closer to him, as the kiss broke he smiled against my jaw. "I am defiantly falling in love with you."

"I better go in," I whispered. "See you Friday."

"See you Friday," Alex smiled walking back to his car.

I walked inside, leaning against the door. Alex was the most caring, loving pleasant guy I had ever met, so why was it when I kissed him I felt nothing. No fireworks, no over powering feelings - there was absolutely nothing.

"Nam, I can't wear that dress," I complained as we got ready in my room. It hardly covered my body. I wasn't looking for attention tonight. I was hoping to go the entire night being unnoticed by everyone.
