She looks around my place, "I'm guessing your spoiled."

That's what everyone assumes when they first come see my place. I'm used to it but I'm no spoiled.

I laugh, "No. It's because my father feels guilty."

She nods and doesn't say anything after that. I assume she didn't want to ask anymore. Though I know she still wants to know.

I should just tell her anyway, "My father had been cheating on my mom for years. She finally got sick of it and left. My mom is and always will be a person I trust. So when she was depressed I hated my father for it. He felt guilty about me not having anyone to talk to and now buys me anything I want. Though it does make me happy. My sister likes it too. Though my dad's girlfriend is a different story."

"I misjudged you then. You just a boy hurting." She talks without looking at me.

I smile, "You are the second person who has said that."

"Are you going to help me in the kitchen or stand there looking pretty?" I grab out the stuff needed for our sandwich.

Alexis turns to face me, "Well I guess I could help."

She walks over to me and starts toasting her bread. Then chopping onions, slicing tomatoes, washing some lettuce, and takes out her toast. She's so breathtaking.

"Well stop daydreaming and finish making my food. While I get me a drink." Alexis pinches my cheeks.

I finish her food while she makes herself comfortable in my house. She gets her something to drink and sits down at the kitchen table. I still couldn't believe that she came to my house so willing.

"Here is you sandwich." I place it right in front her.

"Thank you." She starts eating her sandwich.

I couldn't help but look at her as she took slow bites.

"Can you get me a knife please?"

I slowly go get up want she wanted and handed it to her. She cuts the sandwich in half and hands me the other piece.

"Does this mean that you have fallen for me?" I ask while biting into my half of the sandwich.

She laughs, "No. I'm just being myself. Since you are my friend."

I nod, "I knew you were sweeter than a strawberry."

She blushes, "You are really stupid."

"But you like it. Your cheeks are red." I tease.

Alexis dumps her crumbs in the trash and walks around the whole house. I follow her behind just to see what she is looking for. She kept giving that pity look. I didn't want her to pity me or anything. I'm fine.

"Don't you get lonely in this big place?" Alexis said as she kept wondering around.

"Sometimes but it's better this way. I feel safer."

She turns to face me, "You must feel comfortable will me. Since your telling me everything about your past and feelings."

I sigh, "I just want to be open and honest with you."

The knobs to the front doors started moving. I push Alexis in the nearest closet and tell her to keep quiet. I didn't want her to meet her.
