Holly Would You Turn Me On? (Alex Gaskarth)

3: One Chance One Dance

Alex's POV:

It's been an hour since Holly went in the house and all the guys start to leave. Honestly I can't wait to go upstairs and spend time with her, but then I also wanted to talk to her about, us.

"Dude tonight is your chance. Take it, don't fuck it up. Tell me about it tomorrow." Jack says patting my shoulder before shutting the front door behind him. He was right, it's my chance.

"Hey honey." My mom says as I walk into the kitchen.

"Hey mom."

"What was that about with Jack?"

"You really want to know?" I ask giving her the 'are you sure' look.

"Of course I do sweetie."

I sit down in a chair and she sits across from me.

"I don't like Tasha anymore. I like someone else, but I'm afraid I'm going to mess up our friendship. She's a great friend and I- I just don't know mom."

"Holly?"

"Are you physic?" I ask taken back. Wow she was good. She just laughs.

"No Alex. I'm your mother, I know everything. I like Holly. She's a really sweet girl. If you really want to be with her go ahead. It won't ruin anything, I promise." She reaches out and pats my hand.

"Thanks mom. I'm going to go upstairs and talk to her."

"She's here?"

"Yeah her parents got into a fight and her mon told her to stay here."

"Ah okay." We get up and I hug her tightly. I let go and confidently stride upstairs and into my room to see her laying there under the covers with headphones in. She looks so peaceful. I close the door behind me and she sees me come in and takes her headphones out.

"Whatcha listening to?"

"The usual, Blink, Nickelback, 3 Days Grace, 3 Doors Down." She smiles which makes me smile. She is gorgeous and has an amazing taste in music. I sit on the end of my bed and cross my legs. My confidence leaves me and I start to get so nervous. I need to do this now, it's now or never.

"Can I talk to you about something?" I ask as she looks up at me with a worried expression.

Oh god.

Deep breaths.

Holly's POV:

"Sure." I'm scared shitless, what if he rejects what happened earlier since he's with Tasha? I'll just say it was a mistake, even though we both know it wasn't and I'd be lying.

"Okay I'm just going to say it." He takes a deep breath and looks me in the eyes.

"I like you Holly, a lot. I have for a while and I have now just realized it. When we kissed tonight it, it just felt right, ya'no? And I don't know if you feel the same way about me or not but I just thought I'd tell you how I feel." I sigh in relief. I sit up and grab his hands and hold them in mine. I look into his eyes with an optimistic look and with a smile on my face.

"Alex. I like you too, a lot actually." I give a light laugh looking down. Let it out Holly, don't hold it back. I lift my head back up and look into Alex's brown eyes.

"I always have, why do you think I spent so much time with you? I felt like I was missing part of me when I was away from you. But you're with Tasha." I say quietly.

"Don't worry about it. I'll tell her we can't be together. I just want to be with you. I want to sleep by your side but not as your friend, as your boyfriend. I want to cuddle you, watch movies with you, kiss you, make love to you and have fun times when we go to concerts, as boyfriend and girlfriend. I want people to be jealous that I have such an amazing girl who makes me feel like I'm six feet under the stars." He says rubbing his thumb over my cheek, he was so nervous but it made him even more adorable. I smile and grab him by the shirt and pull him on top of me. I could tell he was lightening up.

"Holly Marie, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks resting his forehead on mine.

"Yes Alexander William, I'll be your girlfriend. So much for keeping this 'just friends'." Alex and I vowed we would never date since it would ruin our friendship, well that's out the window.

"Shut up and kiss me." He says super cutely, making me smile like a bafoon. He smiles back and kisses my lips softly. I savor the taste of his lips before pulling away.

"Alex you need to tell Tasha. Right now. Don't text her, call her. We can't do this behind her back." His smile turns into a frown. I know it was going to be hard for him. He picks up his phone and calls Tasha. I could hear her say hello and Alex takes a deep breath. I lightly rub circles on his back.

"Hey Tasha. I'm so sorry but I don't think we are working out. I know I make you happy but I'm not happy. I want us to both be happy with people we love." He looks at me and smiles; I smile back at him.

"I'm sorry but we need to break up." I hear a scream come from the other line and violent sobs.

"I'm so sorry Tasha." He says before he hangs up. He turns his phone off and I wrap him into a hug.

"I know that was hard for you, I'm so sorry I made you do that.

I shouldn't have, it wasn't my place."

"Don't worry about it Holly, It needed to be done. I noticed how Tasha would be cold to you and I didn't like it. It needed to happen, but it was worth it. I'm with the girl I've had feelings for ever since I first met her." I smile and pull his face to mine.

"And I'm with the boy that makes me feel whole." I press my lips to his soft salty ones and our lips begin to move in sync.

Sparks begin to fly.

Alex rubs his fingers over my thigh, his fingers linger before he cups my face pulling me closer to him. The kiss is amazing, its what I've wanted for so long, and now it's finally happening. There was so much there. It was needy but controlled, it was passionate, it was hungry, it was romantic, it was. Perfect. I pull away breathless, so he was too. I flip up the covers and he jumps in bed beside me and pulls me into him.

"Goodnight Alex."

"Goodnight Holly."

Alex's POV:

Holly peacefully drifts off to sleep. I can't believe it, I need to thank Jack and mom for this. I feel bad for breaking up with Tasha the way I did. Holly wasn't pressuring me, she just told me the truth and thats what I fear the most. What I don't understand is how could she have despised Holly for so long? She's been there from the beginning. She was always nice to Tasha and Tasha didn't give her the time of day. I look down at Holly with a smile on my face as she fuses around a little. We've cuddled when she was crying her eyes out about her exes before, but this time it was different. I feel like a part of me has finally been restored and now I'm whole again. I don't want anyone else but her, it feels so right with her here. I kiss her temple before I close my eyes, resting my head in between her neck. within a few minutes I drift off to sleep with the girl who means the world to me finally in my arms. She finally belongs to me, that's all I could ever ask for.
