Alice

Part 2

“Are you hungry?” he questioned. I looked to see him with smile on his face and hand ready to help me up. I was so dumbfounded by his action. I probably looked as dumb as I felt.

Before I could answer, my stomach growled. I laughed nervously. Drake, smiling a bit, help me, dusted me off and handed my books.

I can’t believe I only ate a piece of toast today. That's what happens when works the only thing on your mind.

“Here, it’s my treat,” Drake said, putting his arm around my shoulder and walking is into town.

The first place we saw was Wendy’s and we ordered from there. He got me a spicy chicken to go wrap, French fries and a frosty. We took a seat near a window. Of course, I was the only one eating while he’s either A) Watching me eat or B) looking outside the window. Even though he does this every time we going out, it’s still awkward for me.

“What’s wrong?” Drake asked, not even leaving his gaze from the window. “You haven’t touch your food in almost seven minutes”  

How would you know? Your eyes have been out the window for almost thirty minutes…

“I was… Uhm… How come you won’t eat with me?” I asked in my usual weak voice.

“You know this food is not what I want.” Drake swiftly shifted his eyes toward me.

“Yeah, I know,” I muttered, picking up a French fry and dipping it into the frosty. I was kind of disappointed with his usual answer.

I heard Drake sighed. He suddenly picked up a fry and dip it into the drink then into his mouth. I looked up at him, shock.

“What? You never seen a person eat before?” he asked. I smiled goofy. Jeesh, Drake keeps me on my toes.

I fell on my right knee and scraped it against the pavement of the sidewalk. It hurt so much. I should have listened to Drake when he told me not to run away. I just couldn’t help it. I was so excited… But what was I excited about again? Come to think of it... I don't remember how I got here.

“Tsk, there you go again. You never listen,” Drake told me, walking up to me slowly. I made a sad face. He’s right, I never do.

Drake sighed and bent down in front of me. He exam my cut carefully.

“Hold still,” he warned, pulling my leg and the rest of me followed. Gently, he put his tongue on my wound and started licking away. It felt so weird yet so good.

I felt a tad bit awkward because I was wearing a skirt and I’m pretty sure he can see up it.

The more he licked, the less pain I was feeling. It was like his tongue was healing my cut. Then it was completely gone.

He stopped and looked at me.

“Holy Cheese, you’re amazing!” I shouted, dramatically. His red eyes just stared back at me. I had a foreboding feeling.

“Drake?” I whispered. He opened his mouth and blood was everywhere inside. Then he jumped on me. I screamed my Bloody Mary head off when he bit me.

“Alice! Alice! Alice!” I heard Drake yelled over my screaming. He covered my mouth with his hand. I stopped screaming and started crying.

“Calm down Alice, it was just a bad dream,” he assured me. It didn’t make me stop crying. All I wanted was him next to me.

As if he read my thoughts, he climbed into the bed next me and held me close. His beautiful smell helped me calm down even more. Before, I knew it, I was done crying.

“Are you okay?” he asked, kissing my forehead. I gave a slight nod, knowing he could feel it.

“Was it something like the dream you had last night?” He questioned. I repeated my answer again.

“Did those dreams have anything to do with me?” He continued. I remained silent and listen to his heart beat. He whispered in my ears.

“I’m going to take that as a yes,” he wrapped his arms around me even more. I looked up at him.

“How-How-how do you know?” I questioned. I sniffed away the last of my tears. Drake smelled my hair, completely ignoring my question.

“You need to wake up in the morning,” he muttered. I bit my bottom lip. It’s going to take most of my strength to ask him this.

“Just ask already,” he demanded in a flat tone. I gulped.

“Why- Why don’t you ever spend the night with me? Why- Why are you never here when I wake up?” I questioned.

Drake put his face closer to mine. He suddenly leaned in and pecked my lips. Even though it was just a peck, I could taste the beauty of kissing him. It was like the taste of a candy that’s forbidden and you know you can’t have it. He never kisses me often.

I had to stop the urge to pull him back down and do it again. He buried me in his chest while his face was in my hair.

“When you get you know me more, I’ll spend the whole night with you and I’ll even be there when you wake up,” he explained in my ears. I just wiggled my noses in his chest.

“For now,” he continued. “You need to sleep. Good Night” Drake kissed my forehead.

I close my eyes and headed for dream land.

I feel wonderful! Just finish school, five hour class and got to go home, drop off my school stuff and change into a tank top with purple and blue flowers on it and black shorts. I even fix my hair just like Drake likes it. He loves it when my hair down and I put a cute ribbon in it. I can’t wait to see him!

Suddenly I bumped into a person, who just happened to be a guy. To top it off, a blue vase fell. Not only did it fall, it broke. I knew I was in for some trouble. Plus it was a man!

I quickly got on my knees; shield my face, with my arms, while keeping my eyes close.

    “Oh my gosh, I-I’m so sorry,” I said, afraid what might happen next.
