GamerGirl Chapter 23 "I love you."

**NSFW** 

*__________*

Alexis' POV

I walk downstairs several minutes after Alex.

When I was finally down there, I saw Alex and Chris watching TV. I decide to go in the kitchen for a snack or two; I did skip dinner after all.

I walk through the doorway and find Ross glued to his phone, scrolling. It made a noise and I asked him who it was.

"It's, uh- it's just Bailey."

I looked at him glumly and open the refrigerator door. "What are you saying to her?"

"Oh, you know, trying to make her feel a bit better. I did call her, but then Trott and Smith started arguing with each other so-"

I closed the refrigerator door quickly. "Yeah, do you know what's up with that?"

"Well, yeah, of course I do."

"What are they arguing about then?"

"I'm not authorized to spread that information ma'am."

I squinted my eyes and stared at him. "And why is that Mr. Hornby?"

"Because, it's a surprise."

"A surprise for what?"

"I've already told you too much." Ross stood up from the stool and began to walk out of the kitchen.

"Ross, wait! Please?"

Ross stopped, sighed, and turned towards me sympathetically. "Lex, I can't tell you, I hope you know that." He exited the kitchen before I could say anything else.

"I love you, you know that?" Alex and I were snuggled on the couch.

"I'm not telling you," Alex said as he continued to stare at the television.

"Okay, that's not where I was going with that, but it's nice to know that that's how you see me."

"Oh, I'm sorry love. You've just been crazy lately with it." Alex rubbed my shoulder.

"Do you expect me not to be? It's drawing you and Chris away from each other."

Alex sighed, "No, I expect it. By the way, I love you too."

"Damn fucking straight. I work my ass off to keep you guys friends."

"We are capable of communication." Alex stared at me.

"Not quiet-enough communication." I glared at my hands, as I fiddled with them, wrapped around my boyfriend's torso.

"Look, we try. I'm sorry."

I looked up Alex with whatever he could see left of my face; it was halfway snuggled into his chest. I just smiled at him. "I know you do. Let's go to bed."

"Race 'ya!" Alex zoomed off the couch and upstairs to I assume his bedroom.

I continued to lounge on the couch, ready to fall asleep. I guess Alex saw that I didn't run up with him and was confused. I heard him sigh, and about a minute later, felt myself being carried.

"I didn't realize when I committed to this relationship that I'd be dating a baby," sarcastically said Alex.

"I didn't realize I'd be dating a dick, but hey, life surprises you everyday," I retorted back.

Smith shook his head and said, "Real nice, smartass."

"You started it," I told him, as he ascended up the stairs.
