Love And War

Something New

Hopefully the story is starting to get interesting to everyone. Enjoy :)

Alex's P.O.V 

When Bridgette and I made it to Lorenzo's place, I knocked on his door to make sure he was still home. Surprisingly, someone else answered the door and we haven't met him yet. My goodness, I absolutely adored his blue eyes. Other than that, we went inside and saw Lorenzo chilled on his couch playing his game as usual. Lorenzo introduced us to him and his name is Max. I like that name.

 A few seconds later, he shook Bridgette's hand and I think she likes him already because she gave him a look. But when he shook my hand, I had a strange yet very nice sensation. We looked into each others eyes for five seconds, kind of strange how Bridgette and Lorenzo didn't notice. After that, we suddenly sat next to each other. I was just trying to relax and I had the feeling that I was being watched. Max was looking a me pretty hard and it made me worry a bit .

 I said "Are you okay Max? Is there something on my face?" 

He said "No, I'm fine" and then he back into watching Lorenzo's game.

 The game was getting good and I asked what the name of the game was. He said "Castlevania". The game looked pretty interesting and a little gory. I'm not into those sort of games but I don't mind watching.

Later on, I looked at Max and it seemed like he was falling asleep. While Bridgette was talking to Lorenzo, I was thinking about taking a picture of him dozing off. I think he looked so adorable that I had the urge to take a picture. You know what, screw it! You only live once! I slowly took my phone out, made sure the sound is down, and tried my very best to not move too much because he was close to me. I wanted to make sure that he was asleep, so I poked him gently and he didn't budge. Yes! 1...2...3! Click! Yeeesss!!

Max's P.O.V

Man I feel tired. I felt so tired that I realized too late that Alex took a picture of me. The sound was down and all, but I can slightly see her phone up trying to take a picture. I gave her a mean look and she looked surprised that I woke up. And then she looked a little down because I gave her that look.

 C'mon! I don't like pictures! Dang...I feel a little bad now. But it was still weird how she took a picture of me asleep. "Alex, I don't mind pictures sometimes, but can you please ask me first?" "Alright, I'm sorry"  A few seconds later, she couldn't help herself. 

She said "Could I take another picture?" 

"No" 

"Please? "

"No"

" Please? "

"No"

" Pleeeeeeeaaaassse?!" 

I gave her a stern look and finally said "No." Aww! Welp, I'm not worried, because I'm gonna get a good amount of pictures of you if it is the last thing I do!"She poked her tongue out silly and I said "Let's see you try, want a bet?"

 "Sure, how much would it be?" I gave her a competitive look and we just stared at each other. 

" I bet you $50 if you can get at least 20 pictures of me before this semester ends.

" And if I win, you are going on a date with me five times" "But if you lose, you owe me and you will wear this shirt every weekend".

 I went to my room to get an old shirt that one of my brothers got for me as a prank. It says "I am stupid " with an up arrow. 

She said "Oh no! I am not wearing that! You must be crazy and out of your marbles!" I said "That's the bet, take it or leave it." Bridgette and Lorenzo looked at Alex saying "Oooo!" She gave a little pout and said "Fine! But you're gonna lose this bet!" "Yeah right".

Hours past by and the girls were ready to leave. I said good bye to Bridgette and when I was going to say good bye to Alex, she just gave me a big hug and said " Bye Max, and you are going to lose!"I looked at her with a surprised look and said "No, you are going to lose!" I made a funny face at her and we had a little face off for five minutes. 

After she left, I went into my room and thought about her. This is the first time, in a long time, that I have thought about someone like this. In the past, I had a few girlfriends, but all they wanted to do was have sex and stuff like that. At first I wanted to try it, but I had a second thought and figured that it was not worth it screwing a girl now. I know we had condoms and the girl could be on the pill, but I just didn't feel comfortable with showing my body to a girl or anyone for that matter. I have a chubby yet nice body; I took my shirt off and looked at myself for a moment. I was thinking 'Look at yourself, you need to lose a few pounds. At least 10 lbs.' Thinking about this also made me think if Alex has a type. Now I thought about it, is she even into white guys?

 I said to myself "Naw. Maybe she is into those hood guys who always carry a gun and know how to rap." Secretly, I wish I knew how to rap, like Eminem. But still, I couldn't get her off my mind...

Alex's P.O.V

When Bridgette and I finally got into our dorms, I was thinking about Max. How playful he was, how he's nice and mean at the same time. Honestly, I can't believe he actually made a bet with me when we first met. I thinking the more I know him, the more I'll be amused. And, now that I think about it, I wonder if he is into black girls. 

Bridgette called on me and said " Hey Alex, what do you think of that Max guy?" 

"Max? He seems okay, and kind of fun to be around, why?" 

"Because I think he is adorable! ^_^ "

 "You really think so?"

 "Girl, I know so, you don't see that much good looking white men around here do you?" 

She smiled and I had to think for a second. I said "Not too many, there are a few, but not that much." 

"Exactly! I want to try to get to know him a little better!" She said that and then headed to her room full of excitement. Me, I was just amazed that she was into him. I know the she doesn't have a preference like that, and I don't either, but something in my heart tells me that he is going to be mine and no one else. This is odd, when in the world did I become obsessive? 

I walked into my room and sat on my bed to think and meditate on the things that happened today. I was starting to become curious about these feelings. I want to say it is 'love at first sight', but I don't want to assume anything. I remember back in high school when I liked a lot of guys, and I admitted to a few of them that I liked them and would like to be their girlfriend.

 But it is always these quotes: 'You're cute, but you're not the girl for me', 'I'm honestly not looking', and 'I don't think we will be perfect together'. All of that really hurt. Unfortunately, there was this one guy that I almost said 'I love you' to but he just stopped me. Man was I hurt for days. I just do not want to experience that pain ever again.

 I got up and looked at the mirror and said "Well, you're pretty, but no guy wants you and that's that." 

Then again, if Max actually have feelings for me, it would be great and I can finally try something new in my life. Dating a white guy, that's what!! I smiled at that thought and went to bed. 

Hey everyone! Thanks for reading and I hope you like this one! I'm going to make the third part very soon and thanks for the support! Have a blessed day or night ^_^
