Friction to Affection

Chapter - 7

A new morning, a new day. Victoria woke up earlier than usual and was feeling really refreshed. She looked at the clock on her bedside table and noticed that it was 5 in the morning. Huh? It's weird that she woke up early today! She's never been a morning bird.

Anyways, she laid down on her bed again. Tossing and turning and rolling until she fell off the bed, flat on her face.

"OUCH!!" she cried out as she was sprawled on the floor.

Victoria laid there for a moment, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling like a piece of trash. So to increase her self-esteem she decided to go for a walk.

The sun was rising and the birds were chirping as Victoria jogged down her house, towards the park. It was a cold yet beautiful morning. The park was mostly empty cause it was too early. She jogged and stretched for a while feeling the tension in her muscles ease until... She saw a familiar figure nearby. Wait.. Who is that? Huh?! It's Alexander!! What is he doing here?!

A lot of questions were swirling in her mind. She was shocked and was staring at him as he stretched. The jump suit which he was wearing was hugging his lean physique and his jet black messy hair was all disheveled. His sharp amber eyes were staring at the sky.

But then.. Victoria noticed that when he stretched his arm above his head, his shirt pulled up, revealing his milky skin and his six pack abs.

Victoria's eyes widened and her nose immediately started bleeding due to how much she was blushing. She quickly turned away and buried her face in her hands.

"godness!! What did i just saw?!"..she thought.

Just then she felt someone tap on her shoulder. When she turned back to see who the person was.. It was none other than Alexander. He was staring down at her with his same cocky smirk plastered on his face.

Victoria frowned and stood up straight.

"what are you doing here?" she asked him as she raised her eyebrow which made him chuckle.

"morning walk. What about you? I've never seen ya around here before" Alexander asked her curiously.

She just crossed her arms and looked away.. "i was here for a walk too" Victoria said and suddenly.. He burst into laughter.. That damn deep laugh of his was too attractive.

"Why are you laughing?! What's so funny?!" Victoria exclaimed in confusion and slight embarrassment but he kept laughing.

After a few minutes. His laughter died down and he spoke while wiping his tears. "haha.. Sorry sorry.. Its just.. You? Out here for a walk? How come? Did the sun rise from the west today or what?" he teased her mockingly.

Victoria knew why he was teasing her. Cause she herself knew that she too lazy and she never did any exercises too. She blushed in embarrassment and yelled" SHUT UP!!" which made him laugh some more.

She growled.

"even tho u don't exercise, i am still more agile than you" she said in a competitive tone which made Alexander's left eye twitch.

"is that so?"

"of course. I can reach that boba shop before you" she said with a smirk while pointing over to the small boba shop that was in view.

He looked at the shop then back at me.
"fine. Let's have a race then. On the count of 3..we both will run towards that shop" he said.

I just nodded back.. Feeling competitive and soo ready for this lil' competition.

"heh.. 1 2 3 go!!" he yelled and started running..

My eyes widened "HEY!THAT'S CHEATING!!". I screamed as i started sprinting.

We were both neck to neck as we ran and ran and ran. Victoria felt the adrenaline which was making her dizzy but she still kept running. And then they both reached the boba shop together.

"Nooo" she whined. He just hugged in annoyance and crossed his arms which made her shot him a glare.

"just because its a tie, doesn't mean we are equal, i am still better than you" she said with a smirk which made him glare.

"what the hell?! I am better than you!!" he exclaimed as he took a step towards me

"No! I am better!"
"No, Me!"
"No, No, Me!"
"Me!!"
"Me!!"
"MEEEEE!!" he yelled loudly.

We both then breath heavily and then huffed and looked away from each other, pouting.
