Discovering Him

C6: His House Pt. 2

"Okay so we need that poster over there," I aimlessly pointed to it, looking down at the paper with the project requirements in my hand, "Then we need to write paragraphs on the main language, customs and traditions, main attractions, and religion."

"That's so much you do it." I looked at him and hit his shoulder. His nose scrunched up and he looked at me like he felt betrayed.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not doing this on my own. Unless you don't want to see me and that's why you want me to do it on my own." He looked at me urgently with wide eyes.

"NO! I never said that." I stared at him and laughed at how seriously he took that. He playfully glared at me and shook his head. I opened his laptop and frowned when a password came up.

"Alex what's your passworrrrrddddd?" He came over and sat down next to me. Really close. Wow. I can smell his cologne and it smells so good i think i'm gonna cry. His password unlocked and i started laughing so hard.

"YOU'RE SO CUTE OH MY GOODNESS!" His background was a picture of him most likely at the age of 1 or 2 and he was eating cake. There was blue frosting and bits of chocolate cake spread across his mouth and chin. He was smiling really wide with his eyes closed and his hands were stuck in the chocolate cake. I looked to him now and saw he had his hands covering his face. I grabbed his forearms and took down his hands. He was blushing and smiling and I was doing the same. I decided to joke around with him a little.

"So what happened?" I asked him.

"What do you mean what happened?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"I mean you use to be so cute. What happened to it?" He gasped and started to pout. His bottom lip jutted out and he looks like he's 5 years old. It definitely was a joke because he looks so cute right now.

"Why are you so mean to me?" He turned away from me and started to fake sob. I rolled my eyes and crawled over to see his face. I wrapped my arms around his left arm and tugged. He didn't budge and pulled his arm to place it in his lap. I sighed and slumped. I laid down so my head was on his hand, and my neck was on his thigh. I stared at him and he had a blank expression on his face.

"Am I really not cute anymore?" He asked me, genuinely wondering.

"Nope." I smiled at him. He looked so sad and i felt bad but i know what i was about to say was going to cheer him up. "You're handsome and cute." He grinned at me and started to play with my hair. Oh no no no no no no no. I love when people play with my hair and i get really sleepy. I sat up really fast and turned to see him. He looked at me curiously.

"I get sleepy when someone plays with my hair." I went to reach for the laptop.

"Noted." I froze for a second and continued to bring the laptop to my lap. He just said noted. Like he'll remember. Ok i need to think about finishing the project. Alex came to sit by me and i rested my head on his shoulder. I started to type the necessary phrases to research the stuff on the project. To get ahead I opened Microsoft word so we could type up the paragraphs.

*Two hours later*

"Annnnnnnnnnd done!" Alex typed the last word of the project and I high fived him.

"Okay so we just need to print it and glue it to the poster." My phone started to play the marimba verison of Rihanna's song work and I grabbed it. I looked at Alex to see if I could answer it and he just shrugged.
