/Alexis' POV/
My mom had made meat loaf with sweet potatoes and sauce and it was all prepared around one thirty pm. I still found the very idea of such a lunch boring, embarrassing even. But if that was the only way I could convince my mother that Jesse was a good human, then I had to go with the flow I guess. She had just finished putting plates on the table when the door bell rang and I immediately shouted "I'll go!" Eating with my family made me anxious enough already, eating with them and my boyfriend seemed even worse. When I opened the door Jesse just finished his cigarette and threw it on the ground.
"Hello, Babe." I said and he smiled at me. He wore a flannel shirt which was buttoned up all the way and he even rolled his sleeves up. I stared at him and slightly bit my lip, he really did know how to dress to impress.
"Is everything alright?" He grinned and I looked from his body back into his eyes.
"Yes, yeah" My hands went up to his torso and flattened the shirt "It's just that you look really, really attractive right now."
"Well that's nice to hear." He laughed and took his hands in mine. "Don't worry, Princess. We're gonna rock this."
After twenty minutes in everything was going better than I had expected it. Mom, who at first looked very suspicious, was relaxed and sweet now. Mostly due to Jesse, who singlehandedly kept the conversation going over the most boring topics. But it seemed so easy for him to just nod and laugh and then go on about how perfect the potatoes were. I really admired him for that and glanced at Levi who raised his eyebrows in surprise at me and then there was the laughter of my mom again. She had to love him. Jesse really used all of his charm and pushed all of the bias out of the way and while I was observing everything he 'accidentally' touched my thigh with his leg or arm under the table from time to time which always made me smile to myself a bit.
"So, do you have anybody at the moment?" The tattooed one asked my brother and took another bite from the meat. If one didn't knew that I was his girlfriend, this could have been easily counted as flirting.
"I think Ann Frankowitz is pretty dope." My brother answered.
"Yeah she's super ho-" Jesse stopped mid sentence, obviously trying to not say hot at this moment. "Honorable. I think she won some kind of sport discipline for our school last year." And I tried not to laugh.
When we all were done and Mom prepared the dessert in the kitchen Jesse turned to me.
"How am I doing, Girl?" He asked almost anxious.
"You're doing fantastic. She loves you already." I smiled and leaned forward to kiss him. Then my mother came back with an apple pie in her hands.
"Linda, I don't think I'll fit in my car after eating here." He sighed and earned a laugh again and so it went on and on.
Even after the lunch we still sat there and talked, even I felt the courage to participate and laid my hand on Jesse's arm on the table. He smiled at me in that way he does when he knows that he won.
Finally, mom concluded "Jesse, I am so sorry that I misjudged you because you are truly wonderful."
"Ah, stop it." He waved it aside but Linda continued.
"No! It's amazing how kind you are and I think you and Alexis are a great couple. I'd be delighted to see you around here more often."
/Jesse's POV/
That was exactly what I was hoping for. I breathed out, leaned back and smiled over to my girlfriend who was pretty stocked too. I felt like I had just agreed to a very serious business deal or something even though half of the time I had only remembered what my boys and Lauren had told me on Friday.
"That means everything's fine?" Alex asked her mother who nodded.
"Everything's fine. And again, I am very sorry. How about you guys hang out with your friends now since you couldn't on Friday?" Before I could say anything my girl agreed quickly and pulled me away from the table.
When we put our shoes back one Linda stood in the hallway and smiled at us.
"Thank you for the awesome lunch. I'm gonna drive her home later." I thanked her and she also said goodbye before Alexis took my hand and was already through the door and I stumbled happily after her. When we both heard the door closing again she turned around to me in the middle of our way to my car and smiled brightly.
"You did so, so well and I still can't believe how easy you made it seem." She purred and laid her hands around my neck to kiss me. As soon as I parted her lips she moaned in my mouth and I closed my eyes to take it in.
"How about we drive to your place and see what happens" She murmured, her eyes fixed on mine and I nodded instantly.
Fuck, now I knew what she meant when she said that I was attractive when I was confident. Quickly I walked to the car and during the short drive I looked more at her than the road I think.
My mom and was at our neighbor's, probably with Lea so she could play with the other children. After we got in I explained to Alex where which room was before suggested to sit on the coach. She nodded and I let myself fall onto it, now realizing that all this had drained me a bit, plus I was stuffed with all that food Mrs. Marker had prepared. So I laid one arm around the girl and asked if we could watch a bit TV first and she agreed. I was zapping through the different channels, and she leaned against me, before stopping at MTV where some kind of music quiz show was telecasted.
"So, do you have this concert next week?" She asked and looked up.
"Yeah, we got it. Gonna be on Monday evening and I hope I'll see the prettiest girl in the crowd."
"Oh, you will." She giggled and continued to ask me out about the Neighbourhood.
There was a little pause and then I felt her lips slightly touching my throat, making her way from the bottom to my jaw. "When I'm with you" She whispered between the little kisses. "I always feel so secure and good." And then bit me somewhere underneath my ear which caused me to moan which motivated her to keep going and whispering sweet nothings. It felt fucking fantastic to have her all for myself and I pulled a bit on her leg. Alexis immediately got the hint and moved so she sat down on my lap, looking into my eyes.
"I want you to moan my name." I smirked and placed my hand on her throat to pull her lips onto mine and after a matter of what felt like five seconds she had already opened the first three buttons of my shirt and went with her hands all over my shoulders and chest. And also, she did moan my name. Nice.
/Alexis' POV/
That was exactly what I wanted to do since I saw him for the first time today. His hands were holding me at my waist, just at the fringe of my shirt and I quickly backed up and pulled it over my head, before throwing it to the other end of the couch. I hadn't had my top off in front of a boy in what felt like ages and Jesse's eyes examined me before he bit down on his lip.
"Perfect." He chuckled and began to suck on my skin on my neck, over my collar bones down to my breasts which he also gave some hickys. That was new. Normally, all the other boys would have pushed me to take my bra off too but he just pulled me closer and began to make out with me again.
