chapter xvii | the first thing i thought

ELIZABETH'S POV

My eyes blinked open and I cringed at the light coming in through the blinds. I moved a little suddenly realizing the two arms around my torso. I was with Alex.

The thought itself just made me smile as I kind of moved around so I could face him. I watched him breathe heavily and he looked perfect. His caramel brown hair fell lazily in his eyes since it had grown out. 

I reached over and grabbed my phone from the bedside table earning a slight grown from the man beside me and pulled up twitter.

I had a text from Josh and bit my lip? Was this wrong? Did I have a thing with Josh and could this be considered cheating? Would Josh be mad? Did I really have to tell him? Josh and I didn't really have a thing but he we could be considered a couple. I mean, I slept with him.

After fighting with myself in my head I opened the text message.

From: Josh<3
Hey! I'm miss you. I think I might be going to that Vegas thing with Jack, so are you going? x

I bit my lip and finally decided that this wasn't cheating because there wasn't anything to cheat on.

I sent a quick reply telling him I'd be there and heard my stomach growl. I'll make breakfast for us.

I locked my phone and wiggled away from Alex's arm and padded downstairs to the kitchen.

I looked in the cabinets until I found two plates, two pans, and pancake batter an started cooking.

ALEX'S POV

My eyes opened to the smell of food and I soon noticed my arms were empty. With a frown I got out of bed and wandered downstairs.

I smiled at the sight in front of me. Liz was dancing to the slight sound of music from the tv and shaking her hips around while biting into bacon. 

She still had that damn jersey on, might I add.

I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her causing her to jump slightly.

"Good morning." I said lazily as I rested my head on her shoulder.

She continued frying up bacon, "Morning." she said happily.

"What are doing?" I hummed.

"What's it look like Alexander." she teased and elbowed me lightly. 

"You're a meanie." I mocked hurt. She turned around and kissed me nose.

"I know, now sit down, you're plates almost done." she pushed me away lightly and I frowned but listened and took a seat at the table.

"Do you like syrup?" she smiled happily.

"Yeah." I chuckled. She was like a little kid at Christmas.

She walked over holding two plates and sat one down in front of me. I smiled at the pancakes, bacon, eggs, cut up strawberries, and blue berries. I was in awe because that was a lot of food.

"Are you allergic to something?" she asked, clearly scared I didn't like it.

"No, that's just a lot of food." I said in shock.

She let out a breath and sat down across from me and we ate silently and happily.

ELIZABETH'S POV

I was honestly scared Alex didn't like it but when he assured me that it was just a lot of food I felt better. 

I ate in happy, blissful silence. "Hey what are we going to do today?" I piped up.

"I don't know, what do you wanna do?" he asked after swallowing a mouthful of bacon.

"Well we should go get cake mixes because I wanna make Jack a huge cake." I smiled brightly.

"Can you bake?" Alex teased me. 

"Of course I can!" I said proudly as I stood up and dumped the bit of food left I had in the trash. I walked back over and grabbed his empty plate and put it in the sink.

"I'll do the dishes after I get ready and stuff." I said simply.

"You're not a maid. I can put dishes in a dishwasher Liz." he chuckled.

"It's the least I can do, you're letting me stay here." he stood up and shook his head.

"Having you here isn't a problem." he shrugged and quickly lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder. "Now lets go get ready!" 

He carried me up the stares while I protested and told him to put me down about 30 times and he threw me on the bed.

"What should I wear today?" he asked, stifling a laugh like he hadn't just carried me and threw me on a bed.

"Can I pick!" I said excitedly, jumping off the bed and hurrying over to his closet.

"I suppose. I'm going to shower. So better have my clothes ready before or I'll go naked." he winked and I hit his arm as he hurried into his bathroom.

"Probably wouldn't be that bad of a sight." I muttered to myself I looked through his closet.

I picked up a pair of yellow shorts and chuckled. Why did he have these? Oh god.

I put them back and grabbed his grey pants that had the America flag print on them. I knew damn well how hot he looked in them so I grabbed them happily and threw them on the bed. 

I continued looking through his closet for a shirt and heard the shower turn off. I grabbed a black shirt that said Blink 182 on the front and threw it on the bed. 

I was planning on hurrying out of the room before he came out of the bathroom but when I turned around I new I was late.

Alex stood there with a smirk on his face and a towel draped around his waist loosely and I saw the v near his area and bit my lip. My eyes trailed up his wet chest and the water droplets in his hair before making eye contact.

"Like what you see?" the smirk still on his lips. I felt my cheeks heat up, "No way Gaskarth. I've seen hotter." Lie, I hadn't seen hotter.

"Mhm, sure." he rolled his eyes and ruffled his wet hair, sending water droplets everywhere. I bit my lip and looked away.

"I'm gonna go sit in your living room while you get dressed." He glanced at me and thought for a moment before chuckling.

"Am I really that hot to be around?" he winked.

"Truthfully, yes." I hurried out and shut the door, groaning. What the fuck was this man doing too me?

I walked downstairs and sat on the couch and scrolled through my phone.

I heard the door open and two voices and bit my lip. Shit.
