The Gray Zone

CHAPTER 23

/Alexis' POV/

I was asleep for about two hours when my phone began to ring. Half awake I accepted the call and heard a familiar voice out of breath "Hi Babe. I'm outside." 

In shock i sat up straight and  went to my window and saw indeed a lanky guy in dark clothing waving to me. I waved back and snickered "And what shall I do now?" 

"Let me in. Let me sleep with you." 

"What?!" 

"I mean not sexually" Jesse cleared the statement up "Just... I'll go insane if I won't hold you tonight." That made my heart jump and I ended the call so I could sneak down the stairs to the front door.

When I opened it the boy smiled widely and waved at me again before I made a step forward to kiss him. I could taste the alcohol and broke away, but our faces were still pretty close. 

"Are you drunk?" I asked jokingly. 

"A bit, I guess." He whispered before kissing me again. This really made me happy because it felt like an entirety the last time we did this and also forbidden. 

"Let's... let's get upstairs" I suggested and took his hand in mine. Carefully I closed the door again and lead him upstairs trying to not make any noise. But that was kind of hard for him because it was dark and he wasn't really familiar with the surrounding. "Careful, Babe ... this way" I tried to guide him. 

"Remember when I stood in your room and you wanted me to go out of-" he remembered as we made our way upstairs. "Shh! You're gonna wake my mom up."

We were almost there when I heard the door to my mom's room open. In the last second I pushed Jesse into the bathroom and turned to her. "Why are you up, Alex?" she asked sleepy. 

"Because... um... I wanted to drink something so I went downstairs. Sorry that I woke you up." 

She examined me for one more moment before mumbling "No problem, I just thought there was someone else with you but I must have dreamed that." I tried to smile convincing before she turned around and got back in her room again. I breathed out in relief.

Jesse sneaked out of the bathroom and smiled foolishly. "Damn you're cute when you are lying." He snickered and kissed me but I shoved him away. 

"Shh! Just get in my room." 

Once we were inside I had to smile too. When was the last time I could spend time with someone so fascinating? He was such a dork when he was drunk and began to look at my posters again.

"Do you actually know how handsome you are?" I asked as I saw him in the dim light and walked over to him. My hands went around his back and I pressed my cheek into his shirt. 

"Well thank you." He giggled and turned around to face me. He had dark circles under his eyes so I began to walk backwards to my bed. After a few steps I felt the edge of it and sat down with him next to me. His eyes just were two dark holes and all I could think about that this was really happening. Right now. 

"Do you mind telling me about the party?" I said under my breath and stroked over his cheek. 

"How about we make ourselves comfortable first, Alex? I see you already have your pajamas on, so let me just..." While he was right that I wore some panties and an old tee from Levi he casually got out of his pants and tore his shirt off I looked at him in awe.

"What?" He asked "Am I not build enough for you?" 

"No, you're actually just really, really hot." I brought my hand up to his chest and traced along the lines. With a smile he leaned over to me and kissed my neck slowly to which I had to give in.
