Chapter 17: White Flag - Matthew Ruiz

~•^*^•~Elaine's POV~•^*^•~

We all walked out together with our backpacks and ran towards baggage claim. All the roommates were waiting to pick us up at baggage claim so we rushed over there. Aleks held my hand the as I limped out of the airport. Walking was still a little difficult but the doctors said once I rebuild my strength, I should walk normally within a couple days. Oh my God. I forgot to Whitney and Jake about Aleks and I. I felt awful and somehow I knew that Aleks didn't tell them either. We glanced at each other and he pulled me closer. At least we could say that we wanted to tell them in person. As soon as we got there we immediately saw them.

"WHITNEY!!!!" I screamed letting go of Aleks's hand and running over to her. She screamed and ran over to her. I was really light so I jumped into her arms. She laughed and set me down. This was the relationship we had. We were like lovers and sisters combined. She set me down and we hugged. Jake came over and hugged me and I rested my head against his chest since I was so short. In fact I was shortest one of all my friends. I was sort of jealous of Jake for being tall but I realized I could do way more. He laughed and walked over to Aleks who he gave a bro hug. Eddie gave me a hug and called out to everyone,

"GROUP HUG!" We all squashed together and hugged each other. The siren went off indicating that our luggage was coming in. We walked up and waited patiently for our bags to tumble out. Aleks walked over and put his chin on the top of my head with his hands draped over my shoulder. Whitney gave me a look and I mouthed 'I will tell you later' she nodded and turned back. Aleks grabbed his and I finally grabbed mine. We all walked out to the car and split up since there were two cars. Whitney took Eddie and Natalie and Jake took Aleks and I. We shoved our bags in the trunk and I crammed into the backseat. Jake turned on the radio and we started jamming. When we got home the place was really neat. For some reason something was missing. I looked at the coffee table and saw no games on it. I immediately took out some games and lied them on the table. Perfect. We hauled our stuff to our rooms and I quickly unpacked. As soon as I finished Aleks walked in and sat on my bed. I slipped my hands into his and sat on his lap. He brushed a hair out of my face and kissed my nose.

"I have a surprise for you." He whispers standing up. I covers my eyes and pulls me out the door and into what I guessed was the living room. He takes his hand off and I see Ze standing there. He holds out his arms for a hug and I jump into them. As he spins me around I bury my face into the crook of his neck. He was such a great brother to me. He set me down and stroked my hair.

"Are you ok? I tried to fly back but the next flight would've been too late." He said hugging me again.

"I've been better but I'm fine now." I told him the whole story as we sat down on the couch and I threw my legs over his lap. He sat there nodding the whole time. After a moment of silence he finally spoke,

"Well I am glad your safe. Luckily you have Aleks to protect you. I approve of him." I glanced up to where Aleks was standing but realized he was gone. Ze gave me a hug and started towards the kitchen. Then it hit me. We don't have a guest bedroom. We only have 4 bedrooms and a den which used to be a bedroom but now that Whitney and Jake share a room, we turned it into an office. The office is jam packed with boxes full of merchandise and other things like shirts, hoodies, etc. I knocked on Aleks's door and walked in when he opened it.

"May I help you?" He asked innocently. I nodded and sat on his bed.

"Yeah we have to figure out sleeping arrangements. Ze leaves in a month, remember. The office is full as well." I bounced my leg up and down as Aleks ran his hand through his hair. My heart raced for a second. God I couldn't help it, he was so damn cute. I guess I was staring because he smirked. He sat down behind me and I layed my head in his lap. He played with my hair and I closed my eyes. I felt something warm and soft touch my nose. When I opened my eyes I saw Aleks inches from my face smiling down at me. I leaned up and kissed his lips. I pulled back and sat up. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him and sat me on his lap. I quickly turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. He leaned in and gave me a soft kiss which turned into a passionate one. I wrapped my legs around him and play with his soft curly hair. I felt his tongue trace the bottom of my lips. I open my lips slightly and let him in. He leans back and we fall onto the bed so I'm laying on top of him. His hands held my side and we rolled over so he was on top of me. My shirt raised a bit and I felt his hands touch my bare skin which sent a chill up my back. I gasped a bit in the kiss and I could feel him smile. We pulled back for air, breathing heavily. He bent down and kissed my neck. I gasped and sighed as he kissed my neck again. He brushed my hair out of my face and leaned down to kiss me again.as soon as our lips we about to meet a knock came from his door. He groaned and kissed me really quick before getting up and smoothing his hair as he walked towards the door. I sat up and readjusted my shirt and ran my fingers through my hair. I got up and walked to the door to see Sly at the door holding PuppyChef. Oh my god she was so cute! I race to the door shoving Aleks to the ground. Unfortunately he grabbed my waist and sent me toppling to the floor with him. He smirked at me and held me down as I tried to get up. At some point I stopped and crossed my arms shimmying around to face Sly and PuppyChef. I look up to see PuppyChef at my side licking my arm. I quickly move my hair out of my face and behind my neck when I heard a gasp from Sly. Aleks and I both glanced up at him as he pointed at me. He quickly raced in and shut the door. Aleks and I got up from the ground and faced Eddie,
