I Can't Ignore It {Lams FanFic}

Chapter Four

The past few weeks have been awkward, arid studying. (Arid is a real word look it up.) Anytime I try to go out with Herc and Laf, Alex always reminds me how far behind I am, and then we study. For hours. At this point, I didn't even care that I was connected to him, because I knew in my heart he wasn't right for me. Not because when we hang out he's rude or anything, it's that he never shuts up. Bla bla this, bla bla that. Does fate really expect me to date him?
"John, what's wrong?" Alex says, snapping me out if my thoughts.
"Nothing." I look away from him, adjusting myself on the couch so I'm not facing him, as he sits at the desk. I didn't intend for my tone to come out passive aggressive, but it might have come off that way.
"John you need to focus. You have a test in two months." I winch at the statement.
"Two. Months. Not tomorrow."
"John what is what's up with you today?"
"What's up is that you always hold me behind from activities with my friends, even when I don't need studying at the time!" I stand up from the couch throwing my hands in the air. "What's up with you Alex? Why are you keeping me from my friends?!" Alex gives me a blank stare. He starts to say something but he stutters and closes his mouth.
"Alex leave, I can-"
"Look I'm sorry! I so sorry if it came off like I was holding you from friends! It's just that I really like hanging out with you a-and you only talk to me if it's about school stuff and I like you, a lot! So, what's up with that?!" Alex stood up and grabbed sweat which was sitting on the back of the swivel chair. "Don't worry, I'm leaving...." Without thinking I grab his hand.
"Wait Alex, I'm so sorry I didn't think you felt that way... And I... I like you too, as a friend-" I was cut off with Alex pushing me onto the couch, his lips on mine. I felt the tingle, starting on my lips, making its way through my body. He was sitting on me. I felt his legs spread to fit his comfort, me on the other hand still awkward as hell. What was I supposed to do?
"Oh I'm so sorry..." He said pulling away. I was still in shock. Before my mind could make a decision, my body did. I cut him off, pushing my lips onto his. I wrapped my arms around him, making the kiss more passionate by the second. I felt Alex grab the sides of my face as his legs spread as well.
"Oh, um..." Alex stopped the kiss and faced the sound. In the doorway, Hercules stood facing us, mouth wide opened. I pushed Alex off of me. I noticed my legs spread apart from where Alex sat just moments ago wide open, and I closed them faster than I have ever closes anything before.
"Alex an I were just-" I started.
"Studying?" Hercules cut me off. I nodded. "Yeah okay um... I was just looking for Laf... I was hoping we could see a movie or something. I'm 99% positive he isn't here based on what I just saw, so I'm just gonna go..." As Herc started to walk away I looked nervously at Alex. Alex was twiddling his thumbs blocking out the world.
"Um Herc we could go with you if you want?" I asked, trying to change the subject. He turned around awkwardly and looked over at Alex who was still playing with his thumbs.
"Sure... But should I leave you guys alone or something?" Herc asked.
"What do you mean?" I replied.
"It looks like you two need to figure some stuff out..."
"We should be okay, right Alex?" Alex looked up at me, and nodded. He was going pale. It made me want to hold him and tell him everything was alright.
"I should go... I have so much work to do." He stood up, grabbed his papers that sat on the desk, along with a text book and a pen. He pushed past Herc and out through the hallway. What did I do?
