"Dinner was amazing as always Mrs. Hero," Alex said while helping Connor stack dishes from the table. She was over to help Connor tie up loose ends for the play and of course, she couldn't miss his mom's cooking. That would be rude.
"Aw thank you Alex. You are always welcome here." Alex gave the woman a smile. A gleam entered Mrs. Hero's eyes. "You know Alex, a woman should know how to cook for her husband." Connor choked on his own spit.
"Mom!" Alex grinned.
"Yeah, that's true. However, I'll probably end up poisoning the poor guy." Mrs. Hero smiled and gave Alex a pat on the shoulder.
"Don't worry my dear. I'll teach you some family recipes that your future husband would love. Especially, if he was Greek." She gave Alex a wink before taking the dishes from her hands and bringing them into the kitchen.
"My mom is so embarrassing." Alex turned to look at Connor and saw that the tips of his ears were red. This caused Alex to go into a fit of giggles, which in turn caused Connor to flush even more.
"I happen to love your mom." Alex finally said after she calmed down. Before Connor could comment, his older sister Penelope came into the dining room.
"Mom said that you two can go upstairs. Apparently, your lovely older sisters get to do the dishes even though it's your job." Connor gave Pen a cheeky grin and handed her his pile. He grabbed Alex's hand and pulled her towards the stairs. When they got to Connor's room, Alex sat on her usual spot, which was on top of Connor's desk, her legs dangling slightly. Connor planted himself on his bed, with his clipboard already in his hands. Alex took hers out and they soon got to work.
"The set is basically done. We just have to finish painting the boat," Alex said.
"The costumes are pretty much done. There needs to be one last fitting then they're good to go," Connor said. They continued like that for a while back and forth. Both of them furiously writing on their clipboards.
After a few hours they finished. Alex put her clipboard to the side, rubbing her bleary eyes. Staying up so late during the sleepover was not the smartest thing to do. She looked over at the alarm clock on the night stand. It read eleven o'clock. Connor smiled as he watched Alex. She looks adorable when she's tired. Alex clasped her hands together and stretched them over her head, causing her chest to jut out. Connor's eyes immediately zeroed in on her breasts. They weren't the biggest size, but they were nowhere near small. Connor flushed and looked down at his hands. He didn't need those thoughts consuming his mind again.
"So how was your sleepover?" Connor asked to distract himself from his not so innocent thoughts. Alex perked up, her eyes brightening. Connor smiled at that. He was so glad that she finally made some new friends.
"It was so much fun! We talked a lot, had a couple of pillow fights, and even played truth or dare. Of course, Zyanya dared me to give them a sexy dance." Alex chuckled. "I used a chair and everything. I think I surprised them. You should have seen their faces when I finished! Good to know that I'm good at it." Connor imagined Alex dancing a sexy dance and groaned, feeling his jeans tightening.
"Oh really?" Connor asked, trying to sound as indifferent as possible.
"Yup! Then after you called, I went to the zoo with Zita. Well, it wasn't planned. She wanted to surprise me." Alex smiled. "Though she asked me if I had a crush on you." Connor's heart skipped a beat when she said that.
"What did you say to her?" His heart was racing. Connor couldn't understand why he was so desperate to know. He probably already knew the answer and it wasn't one he liked.
Alex's breath caught when she noticed Connor's intense stare. She has always thought he was good looking with his chiseled cheekbones, strong jaw line, and slightly muscular frame. He could almost be like one of those Greek marble statues. He wasn't perfect like them, but he was pretty close, at least to her. Alex always wondered what it'd be like to run her fingers through his curly hair.
