Taming Life

Jelly Legs

I'd slept incredibly well that night, and was happy to wake up in Alex' arms. I did have to admit that part of me was nervous to wake up before her, what if she woke up and felt differently about everything? I closed my eyes for a while, just thinking about everything.

About 15 minutes later I felt Alex move behind me, and I held my breath to see what she'd do. She thought I was asleep, and pulled me closer to her and kissed my cheek. I couldn't help but smile, and I opened my eyes. She was the sweetest person. My heart was already beating fast, and I could feel a blush creeping up on my cheeks. 

"Good morning Hazel." Alex said, and I turned around so that I was facing her. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Good morning Alex." I said, and yawned and stretched.

"Ew morning breath!" Alex said, giggling. I blew onto her and she covered her face with her hands, giggling.

"Don't be so gross!" Alex said, and I giggled.

"Don't be so rude, my morning breath smells beautiful thank you very much." I said, sticking my tongue out at her. I went up to go and pee and then Alex went for a shower. She came out with her hair wet and in a towel, and she was wearing jogging bottoms and a hoodie. I didn't think I'd ever seen her in something so causal before. I'd changed into jeans and a top with a jumper over the top.

"What's that look for?" Alex asked, smiling. She'd caught me looking at her.

"Nothing, you just look different. In a good way." I said, and I went over and hugged Alex. Alex hugged me back, resting her chin on my head. It made me feel cute when she hugged me like this.

We spent some time just talking and laughing and listening to music whilst cuddling before I decided that I should go early in the afternoon. We both had homework, and I had to be the one to make sure that we both did it. Even though I really wanted to stay cuddling Alex.

Alex stood up as I went to leave, and took her hoodie off. She had a vest top on underneath which clung to her figure. She handed me the hoodie, and I smiled. I also took my jumper off and gave it to her.

"My girlfriend's jumper." Alex whispered, as she looked at it.

"So I'm your girlfriend now?" I asked, trying to keep the look of happiness from my face, but not succeeding.

"Only, only if you want of course." Alex whispered, blushing. I walked up to her and kissed her quickly on the lips.

"Of course I do, silly." I said, smiling as I picked up my bag and put Alex' hoodie in there. I waved at her as I left, smiling to myself as I headed downstairs and out of the door.

I practically floated the entire way home, I was just so happy and in my own little world. I was actually Alex Priestly's girlfriend! It was unbelievable. It really was. This kind of thing never happened to girls like me. But this time, it had! It had really happened. I wanted to dance around with joy as I walked along but I resisted the urge. I couldn't resist texting Alex when I got back, and then I went to do some homework. I never handed in anything late, and I hated being behind on work.

We kept talking all afternoon, just talking about anything, everything. I put a heart emoji next to her name, and every time she came up in a notification on my phone I couldn't help but smile. She was a fast replier, which made me happy. I was the kind of person who couldn't stand it when people were slow at replying. It wasn't that I was impatient, but I overthought things. Unless people told me that they were busy then I would assume that they just didn't want to talk to me and were putting off having to reply to me. It totally didn't show that I had no social life. At dinner, my dad said that I looked very happy, and kept asking if anything had happened. This was really something, as dad didn't notice these things very much. Of course, I kept denying it. I wasn't going to tell them the truth; I just kept telling them that I was in a good mood. Which I was. They just didn't necessarily need to know the reason behind it.
