Suddenly It's Love

Chapter Six

I should've been sleeping peacefully in my summer slumber right now but, thanks to that wonderful experience, (sense the sarcasm) I wasn't able to sleep for even a minute knowing his room is beside mine. Of course, who would be able to sleep peacefully if you would remember every part of the kissing scene you shared with a stranger? I still couldn't process everything properly until now.

After hearing Jessica's attempted rescue, I found myself falling on top of the guy called 'Willy'. The both of us were speechless as we looked at each other. I couldn't believe what just happened.

Our lips were firmly pressed to each other and it took me a while to realize everything that happened. When I finally realized our position, I jumped back and covered my lips in utter embarassment as he stood up and looked at me with a smirk that boasted confidence and arrogance.

"I didn't know you were a wild type. I was only going to make you scream in fear until you pushed me down and kissed me. If you just wanted to flirt with me that much in the first place, I'd gladly do that."

What? What did he just say?

"If you wanted to flirt with me that much in the first place, I'd gladly do that."

Okay. What was that?

"If you wanted to flirt with me in the first place, I'd gladly do it."

I think my mind stopped functioning properly. What is it again?

"If you wanted to flirt with me that much-"

"What?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and stood up. Why the heck would I flirt with a douche bag like him? Who on Earth would even try to get his attention? Is he out of his mind?

"You heard me. Or maybe you just wanted to hear it again and-"

"No! Y-you stupid arrogant..jerk!" I stomped away as I heard his triumphant chuckle echo in the room.

I thought I had a deal with my mind to forget all of that but, it seemed like it was still broken from the shame and was under repair.

I am covering myself with all the pillows I could find on the bed and slumping myself deeper in the thick blanket. It was hot and it couldn't get any worse now that I am soaking wet from my sweat. Nothing's gonna happen if I stay here forever. I should face him and let that 'Willy' know that I'm not backing out easily.

I got my towel and clothes and went inside the bathroom to wash away all the sweat and look refreshing enough to go out. When I was done, I blow dried my hair slightly and applied much sunscreen before I got out to change.

I viewed myself in the mirror and studied my appearance. I wore a blue and white one piece covered by my favorite yellow cotton blouse and short shorts with matching flip flops. Instead of letting my hair be in an elegant twirl, I let it fly free to show up a look fit for summer. Satisfied with my look, I twisted the knob and dashed outside proudly until I bumped against him again.

"What a nice surprise. Trying to seduce me again with your outfit?" He smirked boastfully looking at me from top to bottom.

"Never in your wildest dreams, Willy." He flinched at my emphasis at his nickname and I smirked, feeling proud that I had finally beated him in his game when he looked surprised with my reply. I didn't want to have anything to do with him so I did the usual 'walk out session' I do to guys and twisted my flops away from the place.

When I arrived at the beach, I paved my way to the usual place I'd go to and smiled. I needed someone to talk to and I know going here is a good decision to find one.

I prodded to the store's entrance as the chimes jingle and clang. A woman went out wearing a pink apron frill and a summer dress and flip flops. She smiled warmly at me and went to the counter.

"Good afternoon, dear. What would you like for today?" I smiled at how she greeted me today. I ordered here for a strawberry slurpee and I'm glad she remembered my name despite her old age.

"Good afternoon. I'd like the usual, please." She nodded and went inside to make my order. I went to my usual seat at the corner and plugged my earphones in to listen to the soundtracks in my iphone. I haven't been using my iphone lately and now is the perfect time to do so. I brought my iphone to life and hummed to whatever the song was going to play and continued to watch people passing by like usual.

I've been living with a shadow overhead.
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed.
I've been waiting for so long.
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on.

I sighed at the how the song coincidentally fit what I felt right now. A lot has happened and nothing could be more worse than knowing no matter how much I tried to forget, it's still coming back. I was about to go when I saw a figure I didn't expect to see in a million ages again. I saw Will surrounded by a crowd of girls flirting to get his attention. Will's face looked so flushed that he wanted to throw up that made me laugh out.

His reaction was priceless and one picture of it won't hurt, right? I took my phone out and clicked the picture when he looked to my direction in a flash. I was taken aback when he stomped his way into the store and literally dragged me outside.

"Hey, what-" I was interrupted when he covered my mouth.

"Just play along. I really want to get away from these bunch." He pleaded softly in my ears as he gripped on my arms. It was too close for comfort and 'acting out the part' like he said would be too difficult. But then again, he'll need to owe me a favor so, what's there to lose?

When we were near the bunch of 'angry stalkers', he looked at me and I knew that it was the cue to start my role.

"Why did you bring me here, babe? Are these your friends?" I asked innocently with a smile on my face while taking glances at the mob.

"Yeah, babe. Girls, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Alexa." Will smiled sweetly as he purposely placed his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him. When they didn't look convinced, he shot me an apologetic look before doing a stunt that probably killed me of a heart attack. Our faces were glued to each other as he embraced me closer than ever. The girls were stunned and shocked at our little stunt. When they had left pissed off, he pulled me away from the crowd and faced me seriously.

"T-th-" He stuttered as if trying to spell a tongue twister. He was trying hard to blurt it out but, because I was not in the mood, I slapped his mouth shut.

"Before you tell me anything. What the heck was that?" I asked before removing my hand from his mouth.

"Look, it was out of plans but, I couldn't help it. They would always cling to me and they wouldn't believe that if there wasn't proof."

"And you had to do that in front of everybody?"

"We didn't kiss. I only leaned my face closer to yours." He shrugged it like the whole 'incident' was no big of a deal. I slapped his arm hard that earned me a glare.

"What the heck, Alexa?"

"That was for giving me a heart attack and for calling me 'Alexa'." I stated to make it obvious.

"What? It's just a freakin' name. Why get so touchy about that?" He asked out of curiosity.

"It pisses me off."

"Hm, that would be a good blackmail, don't you think?" He smirked arrogantly and I flushed.

No one ever called me that because everyone knew it carried so much pain to me. I've thought I forgot that painful reminder but, it seems that I never did. The longer I stayed there, the more I felt like crying. My eyes started to get watery but I held it back and forced a smile.

"You are such a jerk." I let out with bitterness in my words and trudged away from the place as I let my tears flow down. I've never felt so hurt in a long time and I knew keeping my heart in place was going to be harder than I thought.
