Meant To Be

Chapter 6

{CARRIE}

I frown as I tug on my skirt, I was still unsure on whether or not I liked what I was wearing. I had on a white crop with a high waisted floral skirt, with my hair up in a pony tail and a ribbon around it, leaving my apartment I thought I looked cute but now I was worried. "You look beautiful," Alex says as I walk up to him, I blush and reached for his cheek, pulled him down and kissed him softly. He looked surprised, "what was that for?" "For knowing what to say," I winked at him, linking my arm through his as we walked into school. School was finally, finally over and we were at the graduation ceremony for the seniors, pretty emotional for them I guess, but definitely long and ridiculously boring for us. As the speeches dragged on Alex played with my fingers holding them, kissing them, I tried my best to not look like a blushing idiot which just made Alex chuckle and continue.

"Oh my god was that horrifically long," Alex sighed as he pulled me out of the gym and across the parking lot, I laughed and started heading home. Alex stopped me and starting pulling me in the opposite direction, "if I wasn't dating you I'd be scared," I joke, "but where are me going?" "You'll see," Alex replies. We walk for a while hand in hand talking, laughing, I always thought acting on my feelings for Alex would throw the universe upside-down, but actually dating him didn't change anything, we were still best friends with the benefit of kissing. We stop at a school, more specifically an elementary school, I recognized it immediately, "we used to go here," I smiled, "god it seems like so long ago," I pause, "why are we here Alex?" "Because," he replies, "this is where I first realized I that I am completely, utterly and endlessly, in love with you." He stops me and we're in the courtyard where we used to have our recess breaks, I step closer to him, remembering our countless games of "house" and our stupid fights over crayon colors, I look straight into those gorgeous blue eyes that I've adored since I first noticed them, "I- I love, I love you too," I whisper. Alex smiles pulls me closer to him and plants the most real and passionate kiss on me, in that moment I know that Alex meant everything he said, suddenly the anxiety of being abandoned and shattered disappeared and I lost myself in a kiss.

I walked out of the Starbucks and onto the busy street, I had grabbed two cups of coffee, one for Phil in hopes that he was in a less shitty mood. I decided to cut through the park to clear my head, I walked around drinking my still boiling coffee and observed; I saw a lot of couples, people walking hand in hand, laughing, kissing, I thought of Phil about how he always ended up with the girl he thought "was the one."

My thoughts broke over an amazing voice, I turn around trying to track down the sound; I immediately see a crowd and know the performer is behind the wall of people. Making my way through the crowd, pushing forward careful to not spill hot coffee on anyone I finally see her, and my heart jumps. The girl looked about my age she had stunning wavy strawberry blonde hair that stopped above her shoulders, he eyes were the most adorable shade of hazel, and her voice, my god her voice was the beautiful thing I've ever heard. I didn't realize till I was literally standing inches from her guitar that I had walked right up to her, she stopped playing, "uh hi" I said awkwardly, "hey," she replies shyly, "I'm Dan," I stick out my hand, "Lexi," she says shaking my hand, "do you, um, mind?" She points at the people behind me, "oh yeah, sure um sorry, yeah," I back away towards the crowd. "Smooth," I hear a stranger laugh, I groaned why did I always embarrass myself. "Hey, thank you all for coming today, and thank you so much for all your donations," Lexi says pointing at her guitar case filled with pounds, "I'll be back tomorrow, same time same place." I stand there watching as Lexi gathers all her stuff and the crowd thins, I walk up to her and offer her Phil's coffee, "thanks," she smiles and takes the coffee. We stand there weirdly for a second whilst drinking our coffee, "so," I start, "why are you playing in a park and not Madison freaking Square Garden, your voice is amazing." I see her blush deep red and whisper "thanks, I'm not that good," "seriously," I ask, "can you not hear yourself? You your voice - it just," I try to find my words and Lexi laughs, "thanks," she says again cutting me off. Lexi looks at her watch, "I actually have to get going, I'll see you around Dan." "Wait," I grab her arm, Lexi winces, "sorry," I let go, "can I have your number Lexi?" I ask handing her my phone, "sure," she grins and taps in her number then turns around and leaves, "you don't have my number!" I yell after her, "you're going to have to call me then," she calls back and winks at me. I watch her walk out of the park, I watch her until she gets on the bus not getting enough of her beauty.

I think of Lexi as I unlock the front door to our flat, I see Phil laying on the couch playing Mario, "Hi Phil," I try and sound cheerful, Phil sighs dramatically in response, "oh I'm great actually thanks for asking, and how are you?" I say sarcastically, Phil pauses the game and turns to me slowly looks at me for second: "thanks for my coffee," he says eyeing my cup and matching my sarcasm. I remember giving Phil's coffee to Lexi, dammit I think, and Phil walks back and locks himself in his room.
