Always Been You

Chapter 17

Semi edited.

~~~Lexi's pov~~~

I snort into my glass as Kristen tells another ridiculous story about her job.

I think I've had too many mimosas.

A little while ago the boys came back so my mom went to watch Parker while my brother, dad, and Liam, went to show Liam how to change his oil and everything that he needs to know about owning a car.

Kristen and I are hanging out in my room, giggling like teenagers about just about everything.

"So you guys haven't done anything?" She asked finishing the last bit of her drink.

I shake my head. "Nope. Kiss on the cheek is as close as we've gotten in the past. I've never looked at him that way before so all when I first became attracted to him it was a bit of a shock, but that quickly wore off."

She smirked. "I bet. Not for nothing considering your brother is my soulmate, but Hudson is easy on the eyes" She said.

"You're not lying. When I saw him without his shirt on I thought I was going to swallow my tongue."

She smirked. "I did something similar with your brother, but now the question is when are you gonna make a move?" She asked.

I flop back against my pillow. "I don't know. I want to do it now since we recently had that almost kiss, but I also don't want to put pressure on either of us especially with Kelly around."

She nodded. "I can understand that, but like I said before I don't think you're putting any stress on him" She smirked.

"Do you think he's really always liked me?"

"Oh yeah. I could tell the first time I met him. He would look at you whenever you weren't looking. He's do anything for you, as you probably see now" She said.

I shake my head in disgust with myself. "I can't believe I never saw it."

She shrugs. "Can't fault yourself babe if you didn't know and you were blinded by Brock" She said.

"Yeah, but I still feel bad."

"I get that, but don't let that get in the way of what could be" She said.

"You're right."

She grins. "I know" She said.

We sit in silence as a movie plays on my TV, but my minds runs wild with all things Hudson.

I can't help but feel like it's our time to be together, but I also don't want to do anything because of Kelly.

Maybe Kristen is right.

Maybe being with Hudson won't be that stressful, but I don't want to cause any problems with the girls.

They're probably stressed out enough with Kelly being back and let's say it doesn't work out with us, I don't want the girls to suffer.

Maybe we can keep everything quiet until everything with Kelly settles down.

"I'm gonna make my move."

She looks over at me. "Really?" She asked excitedly.

I nodded. "Yeah. I'm still a little apprehensive with Kelly being back, but I'll talk to him about keeping everything quiet from the girls until the Kelly situation calms down and until we're sure this is the right thing for us because I don't want to get the girls hopes up or anything."

"I think that's a good idea, plus sneaking around is hot" She winked.

"Yeah that's true, I mean we've been sneaking into each other's windows since we were teenagers."
