chapter-8
when I wake up Jake and Rosie, they both get washed up, and we head into the kitchen area where I find Alex with a black shirt on with weird graffiti on it and black skinny jeans. his hair is now dry and his emo-cut hair is nicely in place and his snakebites are changed to black ones.
I smile at his gothic getup. it looks like nothing I've ever seen a guy wear before, I look away when I noticed I've been staring and motion for Rosie and Jake to come sit with me at the table.
I walk behind Alex and tap his shoulder, he jumps knocking over the milk jug and making it all spill onto the floor, I accidently scream making him jump again, and I slide on the spilled milk hitting my head on the counter.
Alex immediately catches me before I hit the floor and Rosie and Jake just stare at us and then when its really quiet me and Alex bust out laughing.
this is probably the first time I've laughed in a long time.
"Are you okay?" Alex asks through his laughter which makes me laugh even harder.
"Y-y- Yeah." I stutter and when we both sober up we clean up the spilled milk.
"I need to go to the store, that's the only milk I had." he says, smiling at me.
"Sorry . . . do you want me to come with you?" I ask.
"What about Rosie and Jake?" Alex asks, and I smile at his caring for them.
"Will you guys be okay without us?" I ask and they both nod.
"If you need anything at all you can just get it, okay?" they both nod and Alex smiles at them. I walk over to them and kiss them both on the forehead.
"I'll be back okay? stay safe, I love you." I say to them and they both smile and Alex walks over and ruffles their hair.
"Ready?" he asks, I smile up at him and nod.
Alex grabs the keys to his black truck and he takes my hand. as awkward as it is, I hold on tighter.
Alex look down at me, "Are you okay?" he asks, and I feel tears sting my eyes and I know he noticed them.
"I'm just so happy your helping me." I say.
" . . . Clair . . . . you are so beautiful . . . and I really like you . . . . I would do almost anything for you." he says looking down at his feet.
I don't know why but this breaks my wall of holding the tears back.
why does he like me so much? what have I done to make him like me like he does?
I touch Alex's shoulder making him look up, "I like you too, Alex." I say and he looks me deep in the eyes, my heart is beating so fast and when his lips lightly touch mine, my heart flutters in my chest.
when he pulls away, i'm out of breath.
"Come on . . . we need milk." he says smiling at me.
