True Love!!!! (Editing! Slowly....)

Chapter 2

   Around noon the next day I got a text from Alex. He told me to meet him at the beach. So, I got ready and went to the beach, letting my Grandma know. She just smiled happily at me and waved at me yelling after me "Have fun!" as I closed the door behind me. I simply blushed. 'Get yourself together, Iris! He's just a friend!' I told myself.

   As I walked down to the beach I saw Alex being circled with girls. I felt a pang of jealousy. 'Don't even go there, Iris!' I warned myself. He looked lost and like he was looking for the emergency exit. I laughed to myself as I went closer. Only to stop dead to my tracks. For the first time I saw his body and it's plain gorgeous. 'Focus, Iris! You have a boyfriend! Also good looking!' I yelled to myself.

Just then he looked up and his eyes locked with mine. He silently begged me for help. I giggled and made my way there. I made my way around the crazy fan group that circled Alex and went to him and hugged him. "There you are, baby! I was looking all around for you." I said in a sweet voice ignoring the jealous angry glares from the fan group. He smiled thankfully at me but he was surprised at my actions, too. I just winked at him and he smiled. "Sorry, love. But these young ladies had the kindness to keep me company. But since you are here I think it's time for them to return to their friends." He told me and shot a charming smile to the girls. "Bye, girls. Thanks for keeping me company." He said and his hand circled around my waist bringing me closer to him. I think the weather got hotter!

   The girls mumbled their good byes and left. He chuckled and leaned down and kissed the corner of my mouth not touching my lips sending my heart to a frenzy and also making anyone who watched believe we had actually kissed. 'Breathe, Iris! Breathe!' I yelled at myself. And I did. He then whispered in my ear as he hugged me. "Thank you so much! I owe you big time! You saved me for the whole summer now! Thank you!" he told me and I simply smiled when he relised me. I liked the hug. I wanted it to last longer, if not forever.

      Soon, we were swimming and then we went for some ice cream and we had so much fun! I really liked his company. He was easy to get along with and really fun. I mean it. My sromach hurt from the laughter. He made a lot of jokes and they were pretty good, too!

  But we soon fell to an easy conversation. "So, where do you live?" he asked me. "Chicago. Where's your College?" I asked him. "Chicago. Northwestern." he told me with a chuckle. For a minute I froze. So, that means that if I wanted I could meet him anytime.... Oh, my..... "That's cool! When you get there give me a call and I'll show you around." I told him. He smiled brightly at me. "That would be great. Now I can't wait to go to College!" he told me and I giggled.

   Later, he dropped me off at my Grandma's. I walked in and Grandma came out the kitchen with a big smile on her face. "He'll go to College in Chicago." I said simply and she smiled more brightly than before-if that was even possible! "Great! So, you'll see each other at winter, too. Be nice to him!" She told me sternly at the end and I blushed.

   I went to bed. This is getting too complicated for my liking. If he's in Chicago I'll want to spend my time mostly with him than I do with my actual boyfriend.  This is not good! I had a restless sleep. What should I do?!

   I decided to send malis to my two best friends. And surprisingly enough-note the sarcasm!- they answered by calling me on Skype. I told them all about Alex Thorne and how I feel around him. They know how I always felt around Sam.

    They were silent for a while. "Well.... "Amy started. "Live it!" she finished. "Yeah, he makes you feel strong things apparently. Live it and see where it takes you!" Jennie said agreeing with Amy. I sighed and spoke. "I don't know, guys. I'll just feel guilty if I do something or 'Live it' as you say." and took a deep breath. "Did you feel guilty this morning when you hugged him and pretended to be his girlfriend to pry him away from the hungry fan club?" Amy asked me.

    "No.... But...." I said and tried to argue but Jennie cut me. "If you don't feel guilty for that then it's the right thing to do. And also not only that but you felt jealous when you saw those girls around him. You said so yourself. Let go, relax and see where it takes you." she told me.

  "I just need to think. Thanks though for the advise and sorry for bothering you." I told them honestly. "Iris Penny Stewart don't make me angry! You never bother us and we're always glad to help you out. Think as much as you want but at the end you know it will happen as we say!" Amy said seriously. I smiled at her gratefully. "Thanks." I said again. "No problem. And this guy must be really hot, nice and charming  for having a fan club around him, your Grandma liking him; and we all know how difficult it is for your Grandma to like somebody. Let's not forget that she still doesn't like and doesn't approve of Sam. But I see that now she found someone to replace him with. Poor Sammy." Jennie said and Amy laughed and I did, too. Because it's true. Poor Sam, Grandma has put him through hell. Literally.

   "And also..." continued Jennie after we calmed down. "He made you feel strongly and made you feel jealous without meaning to. Something Sam has tried to do to see your reaction and you just stared apathetically. And when it happened without him doing anything that time you just raised an eyebrow and walked away. Both times acting like nothing happened." Jennie finished and Amy chirped in "So, true!"

   After laughing and joking around they logged off and so did I.

     I went to bed more relaxed and as I was thinking through all this, again. I decided that they were right. But I'll talk with Grandma first to see what she thinks. Even though I can already tell. She loves Alex and doesn't like Sam. She never hated anyone and said to us that we should never proclaim that emotion. And have kept her advice. So, I dozed off to Dream Land in no time. Let's see what will happen tomorrow when I talk to Grandma.

    In Dream Land I was greeted by Alex and ice cream. Just great.... I expected the ice cream but not Alex. I won't say that it wasn't a pleasant surprise because it was. Oh, well.
