Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 36 (Cancer)

'Oh really and what was it that is being thought?' Alex smirked looking between me and Steph as I blushed profusely.

'Shut up, definitely not what you are thinking!' I got up and punched Alex in the arm as he feigned hurt and rubbed it. As his eyes narrowed, I could see a glare was trying to creep onto his face but it only resulted in making him look constipated.

'Ok break it up you two, don't need any more mushy love stuff, you can fight outa the house or you know...' she whispered, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively as I combusted due to embarresment and was pulled down onto the bed by a grinning Alex. His eyes were shining and the way his hair was arranged messily on his head, made me want to just pull him into my arms and kiss him like my life depended on it.

'Hurhmm,' Steph cleared her throat and I immediately tried to pull away but gave up soon realising there was no way I was escaping from the cage of his arms.

'I tried,' I shrugged as she just shook her head and walked away. As soon as she was gone Alex pulled me down underneath him and began tickling me, making me burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.

'Alex! Ah...Alex stop!' I squealed pushing him away as he finally ended to torture lent over me so he was propped up on his elbows. 

'You are totally irresistable,' he whispered looking me meaningfully in the eyes as I blushed and kept hold of his gaze. Looking at him I started leaning forward while wrapping my hands around his neck and winding my fingers through his messy hair.

'I know,' I whispered avoiding his lips subtly then jumped up and ran into the bathroom before he could catch me. Immediately there was a pounding on the door as I giggled and ignored it, picking up the spare toothbrush Steph had for me. Soon the knocking stopped and I continued getting ready. I peeped out the door, then sensing the coast was clear I stepped outside changing into a pair of ripped jeans and a yellow spongbob hoody.

'What's for breakfast snotty?' I smirked at Steph as she scowled and we exchanged a secret conversation. 

'Pancakes PeePee!' she replied with her own smirk as I cleared my throat blushing and sat on the counter.

'Where's Alex?' I asked picking at the pancake in front off me.

'Oh he's taking a call outside...is he okay?' she ended with a question flipping the current pancake as memories of the painkillers found their way back as I tried pushing them back.

'Hellooooo earth to Analise!' Steph called out to me and I noticed she was now sitting opposite me on the counter.

'Oh nothing its just..well...I just...' I started of unsurely.

'Come on spit it out Ani,' Steph stated giving me a deadpan look.

'Well it's just that a few days back...'

'Hey Pineapple,' I was cut of with a gentle kiss to my cheek by Alex. He was looking delicious as usual, with a freshly ironed suit on and his hair neatly done back for the first time...in a long time!

'Hey you going somewhere?' I asked curiously feeding him some of my pancake.

'Yeah just for a bit I'll tell you about it later I have to go now, by pineapple,' he winked giving me a quick peck on the lips, leaving me with a sweet syrupy tingling sensation.

'So what were you saying?' Steph interrupted my thoughts as I looked towards her and contemplated whether it was right to tell her or not.

'I..I have to go now Steph...but I will be back soon then we can talk!' I exclaimed suddenly pulling on a pair of red converses and sprinting out the door, muffling the protests of Steph in the distance.
