The New Beginning

Chapter 25- Hallween (Clairs POV)

"So how long has it been for you guys now?" Jamie asked jumping on to my bed.

"One month tomorrow" I said a grin plastered all over my face as I thought about Dustin and me. One month already. It had seemed like three days.

"On Halloween!" She said making weird hand gestures.

"Yup, I get to spend it with him and Alex. Yay me?" I said remembering it all. About two weeks after Dustin and me began dating, Alex finally started talking to me again. I have no clue why he had stopped but I let it go. Shock crossed her face as she did a spit take in confusion.

"Alex? And Dustin? And you? Just you three?" She asked raising an eyebrow."is that really a good idea?"

"I don't know? He asked if he could tag along and how could I say no?" I said remembering that conversation.

"No. It is really easy. Nope, not a good idea or maybe next time would have been except able." Jamie said staring up at the ceiling like she was thinking. An idea suddenly piped in my head.

"You should come too!" I yelled.

"Spend an evening watching Alex and Dustin wait on your every move? No thank you. I love you like a sis and all but for some reason that sounds like a terrible idea." She said plopping down on my couch opening her bottle of Dr. Pepper.

"Come on please! I know you don't have plans because Traycan is in Lincoln for the weekend." I begged.

"Fine.." She caved."but you owe me big time!"

"Hey." Dustin said walking into my house holding three DVDs.

"Hey" I replied as I ushered him into the house to the couch where Alex and Jamie were already seated. We plopped down next to each other comfortably.

"So what are we watching tonight?" Jamie said breaking the silence.

"I was thinking Friday the Thirteenth." Dustin said moving his hand around me trying to stay unnoticed. I looked over and realized I was getting daggers from Alex.

"I hate that movie. It is so stupid." Jamie said leaning back into the couch.

"So stupid it's funny." Alex said. Walking over and putting the disc in.when he returned back to the couch, he sat down and put his arm around Jamie. She loudly cleared her throat signaling him to keep his hand away from her. He just sat there not moving his arm with a smug grin on his face. "Baby, don't pretend you don't like it." He stated looking at her.

She picked up his arm moved it and said," let me make something very clear. Any part of your body that comes close to me, will be removed slowly and painfully. Are we clear?" She had stood up along with him and she had been backing him into the wall.

A scared look formed on his face as he managed to let a little squeal out. "Crystal" he swallowed and said as Jamie went back over and collapsed back on the couch while Alex sat far away on the floor. I couldn't help but laugh at her intimation.

As the movie progressed, I realized I had been snuggling close to Dustin to hide my face."Comfortable?" He asked looking down at my face that was now in his stomach with a grin. I quickly sat up." Never said I didn't like it." A blush began to form on my face as He said that. He then pulled me closer so I was leaning against his neck. He looked down and gave me a simple kiss on the lips. I heard a loud crash come from the couch and watched confused as Alex stormed out of the house. I looked over at Dustin who just rolled his eyes at the door.

"What was that all about?" I asked confused.

"Nothing, he just had to get home early, don't worry bout it babe." He said pulling me closer so I was then on his lap. I leaned back comfortably like it was an everyday assurance.

"We'll, I think that is my cue to leave. I will just leave you guys alone and head home." Jamie said standing up and heading to the door.

"You don't have to if you don't want to." I announced trying to be nice.

"Oh, but I do." And with that she left.

"We'll that was a well interesting time?" Dustin said staring at me with a grin.

"It wasn't that bad!" I yelled giggles escaping my mouth.

"I thought Jamie was going to murder Alex." He corrected.

"I had a good time,!" I stated.

"I would say just cause it was with you this was a happy Halloween.....
