The Heart's Desires. {Robbie Kay}

★ Chapter Thirteen ★

                 • Alexis' POV •

"Alexis. Wake up beautiful." I heard opening my eyes slowly. I looked up at Robbie who was hovering over me. I could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen.  Spaghetti maybe? I lazily rolled over wanting to go back to sleep but I felt Robbie's hands go to my sides and start tickling me. I squealed and tried to get away but it was no use.

"I'm up!! I'm up!!"I squeaked pushing away his hands and he laughed. Whenever he laughed his lips turned up and his dimples were easy to define. His beautiful blue green eyes crinkled with every laugh and it made my heart melt. He was an absolute sweetheart. I got out of bed and followed Robbie into the kitchen. He pulled out my chair for me and pushed it in after I sat.

"Lisa is there anything else you need help with?" Robbie asked as politely as possible. Wait, did he just call her Lisa? She must really like him. She shook her head and took a seat across from me. My mom prayed over our food and then we ate. I nearly devoured it all, even the plate...

"Someone was hungry." My mom joked winking at me. I paid no attention to her and just continued shoveling down my spaghetti.

"It's your night to do dishes." My mom reminded me when she finished her plate. I grumbled and took her plate and stacked it on top of mine.

"You mind helping?" I asked Robbie jokingly.

"I'd love to." He said finishing his last bite of spaghetti before standing up. He picked up all the plates and carried them over to the sink for me. I filled the sink up with water and soap and I grabbed a sponge. I washed all the spaghetti sauce off the plates and forks then handed them to Robbie.  He gladly dried them off. Gosh, he was such a sweetheart. We were almost finished when I had an idea...

I got about a handful of soap suds on my hand and then threw it at Robbie. He had the soapy bubbles in his hair. He had this look of shock and brought his hand to his hair. He pulled off the soap suds and then gave me a "game on" look. That look was devishly handsome I might add. He threw the suds back at me and I screamed. For the next ten minutes we took turned getting the soap bubbled and soapy water and throwing it at eachother. By the end of ten minutes the both of us were soaked and laughing.

"Okay fine you win." I joked holding my hands up in surrender giggling.

"And what do I win?" He asked cocking his eyebrow. I tossed him a dish towel.

"You can help me clean up this mess?" I offered winking. He laughed and then got down on his knees beside me drying off the wet and soapy floor.  I pulled my hair back into a ponytail to keep my hair out of the way. I glanced over at Robbie who was helping me do chores but was still smiling nonetheless. When did I get so lucky? I could tell he cared about me a lot and, that was a wonderful feeling. Although I was on my hands and knees cleaning the floor with my wet clothes and my wet hair pulled back in a ponytail, Robbie still treated me like a princess.

"Yay we're done!" Robbie cheered once we finished drying the floor. He was too cute. I rolled my eyes and booty bumped him as I put the dishes back into the cabinet.

"It's getting late. I better visit my mum and sisters again while I still can." He said. I also loved the fact he cared about his family so much. You could tell they were his number one priority.  I still didn't want him to leave though...

"Okay. Bye Robbie." I said hugging him tightly. He kissed my forehead before walking out the front door. I stood there a minute just blushing and smiling like crazy. When I turned around my mom was standing there giving me that 'Aweeeee!' look. I rolled my eyes at her and laughed. I walked into my room and sat on my bed.

"Robbie is a really cute boy. He treats you like I princess." She said standing in my door frame. The fact she noticed to made me so happy. Thankfully my mom approves of him because if she didn't... I don't know what I would've done.

"He even offered to help me cook dinner after you fell asleep. This boys a keeper!!" My mom said laughing at her own hilarious joke. She walked out of my room but I could still hear her laughter coming from the kitchen. It caused a few giggled to escape from my own mouth aswell. I loved seeing my mom so happy. It's hard to see that with her and dad traveling so much lately. I missed days like this when the three of us would just camp out all day watching TV and sometimes my mom would help me make cookies or brownies and my dad would be so proud of the 'work' I did. A.K.A. eating raw cookie dough and licking the brownie batter spoon.

Robbiw brought the same feeling those memories did. Pure love and happiness. The feeling of being on top of the world without anyone to impress but yourself. I had church early in the morning so I decided to go to sleep early tonight. And I'd be lying if I told you Robbie Kay wasn't the person I was thinking about before I fell into my dreams that were becoming a reality...

*Quick Robbie's POV*

I was walking back from Alexis' when I felt the chill overwhelm me. He was here. I could sense it. Fear washed over my body and I pretended I didn't even feel his presence. I listened for him to talk.

"So have you told her your secret yet, Robbie Kay?" The dark gravely voice asked me. It sent chills down my spine and spread goosebumps along my arms.

"No. I will eventually but it'll take some time..." I said fearful. If she only knew my secret. I was terrified she'd be angry if I told her. The whole idea of actually telling her frightened me something terrible.

I heard the deep chuckle of the man who blended into society. I could hear his voice from all angles.

"Well, you need to tell her soon before the two of you get too attached.  Not only for her sake but yours too." The man warned. I understood where it would hurt both of us. It already hurt that I'd know how this could possibly turn out... and it wasn't good.

|| I wonder what the secret is... Just kidding! I already know!! (; I hope this chapter turns out better. Someone gave me a great suggestion and I feel like it makes my writing easier to read and process. I dunno, what do you think? Did this chapter flow easier? It's kinda short though so I apologize for that. Okay Imma stop blabbing xD Thanks for reading! ♥
