Stay

Chapter 4: Exposed

CARA'S POV

I threw myself on the bed, replaying the night over and over again in my head. I never thought I could have fallen for Alex. He was so attentive when I was on that bike. The closer I am to him, I never wanted him to ever go. I forced myself up to my closet, taking out my pajamas getting ready to take a long hot bath and I noticed the light that shown out of the room from the opposite house of mine. 

His curtains were wide open, Alex's bare back was turned to the window. I caught myself walking towards the window to catch his sights, I observed his naked back and his wet hair where he just got off the shower. I couldn't stop staring at him as he moved his arms, his muscles tensed up. I never knew he works out but damn, I couldn't take my eyes away from him. 

Unexpectedly, Alex turned around and eyes to eyes, they met. I felt the blood rushed up my face as if I was caught doing something I wasn't suppposed to be doing. Alex gave me a cocky smile, as if he knew I had been checking his body out. 

"What?!" I shouted after I opened my window, Alex didn't reply, but he just stood there laughing. I wanted to turn away but his bare chest got me standing right where I am. I snapped myself out of it and gave him a wink before I pulled my curtains to a close.

ALEX'S POV

I stared blankly into Cara's grey curtains, where she stood there just a moment ago. The thoughts of the future would not escape my mind. I know exactly what I wanted to be with her, I wanted to be by her side, I wanted to be hers, forever. I wasn't sure if she wanted the same, I wasn't sure about anything other than the strong feelings that I have for her. I wouldn't mind spending all of my time, waiting for her and figuring it all out as long as in the end, I have her next to me. 

I let out a huge sigh while I closed my curtains. I swang myself on the bed, reaching over to my bedstand to set the alarm clock for school tomorrow. My mind was still on Cara and how when our bodies touched, it sent chills down my spine. My eyelids were heavy, and it slowly closed down. I see Cara even clearer when my eyes were closed, I was mesmerized by her light blue eyes and every little bits of her. 

*BEEEEEP 7:30 am*

I slapped the alarm shut before I could force my eyes open, rubbing my eyes as I sprung myself up from my cozy bed. I rushed downstairs, grabbing a sandwich from the fridge and pecked my mom on the cheeck on my out the door. I took a long look at my bike, where the first amazing moments with Cara all happened. Hopping on to it, I sat there.. Glacing over at Cara's house, waiting for her to appear in front of her door. As I blinked, there she was, wearing a pair of black skinny jeans with an oversized hoodie over her, not revealing what she was wearing underneath. 

She looked incredibly beautiful, without even trying. I dugged into my bag and took out a blank notebook, exposing my true feelings only by writing it down in this little notebook. I jotted down "You look amazingly beautiful :') "  and ripped it off, folding and putting it safely into my black leather jacket. 

Starting my bike, I drove out of my streets heading to the school. My house and school weren't that far from each other, it took about 10 minutes by bike. I didn't even have to look for a space to park because most of the people here have cars or drivers. I got off my bike, parking it next to the nearest door and hopped off, heading into the school. As I was making my way through the crowded space, as usual my eyes searched through the sea of people for the one and only girl, Cara.

I digged my left hand deep into my left pocket of my leather jacket, where I had earlier put in my little note that I had decided to give it to her today. I took it out and I held it tightly in my hand. From left to right my eyes searched for her, and I caught a stare from a person who wished me dead, Sasha. Staring at me from far a way, not a mean look in particular but a look I couldn't read. Right next to Sasha was where all my attention was, Cara looked as if she was lost, her eyes searching for something and I hoped so badly that she was searching for me too. 

Walking towards her with all my confidence and as our eyes met, I knew yesterday wasn't a dream. A huge smile came across her face, making me want to have her all to myself. Apparently Sasha is not going to let that happen. When I reached her, Cara opened her mouth but then closed it making me wonder what she was going to say. I slipped the piece of paper that I had been holding on to my whole ride to school into her right hand, she squeezed my hand back in response.

Walking past her, I didn't look back, hearing Sasha's voice making judgemental comments, "What the hell, Cara," but I didn't hear Cara's repsonse. I walked slower, hoping to hear more of their conversation.

"Get your shit together, Cara, this is not you," I hear Sasha, who apparently cannot keep her mouth shut and had to make a comment about everything. 

"Alex.." I hear Cara's voice calling for me. Her voice was soft, filled with mystery, I turned around to face her as she was half walking, half running towards me.

"Cara, where are you going?" Sasha screamed, acting as if it was a big deal, "Get back!" 

Sasha's pitchy high voice filled the room, most people squeezed in tight, gathering around us, trying to see the view of what was about to happen. As Cara approached me, she paused, leaning in towards me, our lips touched. My body responded to her kiss in so many ways, I reached out for her hands, throwing them over my neck. With her hands entwined around my neck, she pulled me down closer to her. The kiss lasted so long, that I had forgotten about everything. Everyone started to slowly disappear, and without knowing, it was  just Cara and I. In this moment, nothing else felt more better and I have never felt more alive. 

When Cara pulled away from me, she brought me right back to reality. 

"Woah," I let the word escaped my mouth without even thinking twice. 

"I'll see you this evening?" Cara asked, looking straight into my eyes. 

"I'll pick you up," I replied, smooching her as she nodded. As she turned to leave, I entwined my fingers with hers not wanting to let her go. 

The first bell rings, the crowd that was surrounding us were making their way out, chit-chating about what had happened. We both knew it was time to go, she pulled away, our fingers slowly unlocking each other and now I'm just on my own, making my way to my  to my chemistry class. 

Dropping my bag off on the table where I usually sit, I asked my teacher to quickly go to the restroom. On my way there I heard the same high pitched voice coming out of the material room, I stopped. 

"Jeff, stop," I heard Sasha say

"I can't let them know that I'm.." Jeff paused, and when he continued his voice soften, "that I'm gay, I need you to help me cover this up a bit more", Jeff whispered back to her. 

"I can't," I heard her reply. 

"Please, Sasha, I just need a little more time," 

"I can't," 

"You like him don't you," Jeff raised his voice, "Tell me the truth," 

"I do, Jeff, as much as I want to help you, I need to get Cara away from him, I want him mine." 

"Alex is not worth it, you're risking your reputation here," 

I frozed as I heard their conversation, I couldn't believe what I just heard. Trying in adjust and digest in in the informations, I just couldn't bring myself to believe my own ears.. Jeff is gay? And.. Alex? Alex as in me?!
