I woke up feeling Alec's warm breath on my neck. A smile appeared on my face. I wiggled around in his grasp and turned to face him. I reached his lips and kissed him. After that I kissed his jawline when he started squirming and moving. I kissed him on the lips and he kissed me back without even opening his eyes.

"This is the best way to wake up." He whispered in my ears. I giggled like a fan girl as he hugged me.

After some more cuddling, we got ready to have lunch at a nearby café. We spent almost all the day together. He dropped me at my apartment in the evening. As soon as he left I started feeling lonely. I had been living by myself but had never felt this way. Maybe it was because I haven't been in a relationship for quiet sometime. I saw the red rose he had bought me the other day; which was already dying. I was playing with it when I heard banging on the door. I felt as if the door was going to detach from its hinges.

I opened the door to reveal Brandon and Laura with worried expressions on their faces. Laura engulfed me in a hug while I saw the Brandon's expression turn to an angry one.

"Where the hell have you been? We have been looking everywhere for you and you didn't even bother telling us before you went somewhere." Brandon shouted at me. I flinched at his tone.

"Brandon!" Laura warned him.

"What are you guys talking about? I have been here all along." I lied, not wanting to tell them about Alec.

"Oh yeah? We came by your place last night you weren't home. We came by again this morning as soon as we woke up. And yet again you weren't here. We have been worried all day. We stopped by every place we thought you'd go. We were so worried about you. The least you could have done was to contact us or even call back when we called you." Brandon snapped at me.

"My battery died. I didn't know you were worried. I thought you'd be stuck with you wedding stuff." I said meekly.

"We want your opinion as well, Zoey." Laura said to me.

"I asked you something." Brandon asked again, clearly not getting the idea that I was trying to avoid it.

"I don't want to say." I replied without looking at him. He had the right to ask me. I had considered him as my brother ever since I knew him.

"Zoey, I'm asking you once again. Where were you? Or better yet with whom you were with?" My eyes snapped up to look at him. And his eyes held realization. He knew it was a matter of a man.

"I was with Alec." I sighed after sometime. They both frowned at me. Awareness spread on Brandon's face as he had met him.

"Wait, don't tell me... Alec as in your boss?" He asked abruptly and I nodded. "What the hell? You guys work in a professional circle."

"Don't you think I know that? I said the same to him too. But he insisted. He said he don't care about it. He said he like me and I like him. So he asked me out and I said yes." Before I could comprehend anything Laura jumped and hugged me tightly squealing like a little girl.

"I can't believe Zoey finally has a boyfriend. I don't care if he's your boss. I am happy to finally see you like this." She grinned at me.

"Look I am happy for you and I am glad that you started going out but it is frowned upon. People will just assume that you are some sort of..." he stopped to choose appropriate word as Laura and I, both, raised our eyebrows at him. "You know what I mean Zoey."

"Brandon I am fully aware of what I am doing. If he breaks my heart I won't come crying to you if that's what you want." I snapped at him.

He looked hurt at what I said and I regretted it as I saw his hurt expression. Brandon rarely gets upset. He looked at me for a moment and then walked out.

"Zoey, you have to make it right. Do you realize how worried he had been all day for you? You are his family and he loves you for a sister. He just doesn't want you to get hurt. He will worry about you even if you don't want him to." Laura said quietly to me.

I knew everything I didn't need a lecture from anyone. I muster up the courage and went outside. Brandon was pacing around in cool breeze and he was just wearing a t-shirt. I walked up to him and hugged him from behind. He stopped and shrugged himself out of my hold. I staggered back a little.

"Brandon, would you just look at me?" I requested him.

He stopped and looked at me with a bored expression on his face. He looked at me expectedly and I know he was waiting for my sincere apology.

"I am really sorry for hurting you. I shouldn't have said what I said. I was just annoyed at you for not believing me. I love you Brandon. I am really sorry." I said sniffling a little. After a while he just shrugged.

"I will accept your apology on one condition." He said before we can get inside. I frowned at his words. "You have to go with Laura for every shopping. You'll always be there for her wedding stuff. I want you to be happy even it's with Alec." He smiled a little, thank god. He hugged me lightly and we headed inside where we found Laura busy in the kitchen.

"Oh good, you made up. Let's eat." She had heated chocolate brownies from the fridge and put it together with ice-cream, it was some sort of molten cake. We all grabbed our spoons and dug in. We used to do this every time we had sleepovers. We spend a few hours sitting together watching movies and talking until Laura decided to call it a night. She said some thing about reservations and meeting someone I was too lazy to bother listening. I was happy I didn't have to go somewhere. I didn't bother changing into my pajamas and tucked myself in the bed. I was on the verge of sleep when I heard the ding of my cellphone.

As soon as I saw the caller id I sat up and full awake. I quickly pressed the green button.

"I missed you." His voice was enough to make the sleep go away.

"I missed you too." I replied happily.

"You didn't call me. I thought about calling you but then I thought you'd think that I was being clingy or something. But then I thought you are my girlfriend now, I can call even in the middle of night."

I chuckled in the phone. "Yes you can. I was stuck with Brandon and Laura today after you left. They thought I was kidnapped or something. You know Brandon and Laura is her fiancée. They are getting married soon, I hope."

"It feels so good hear your voice again." He said. We chatted for few minutes after that and then he hung up and I drifted off to sleep thinking about us.
