‘Jensen? Is that you?’
‘Oh my god! Alanis? I didn’t recognise you then!’
‘Me either! It’s been so long, how are you?’
‘I’m good; I think the question is: how you are?’
‘Apart from nearly being raped? I’m alright I guess, been a bit of a rough day if I’m honest.’
‘Want to talk about it?’
‘Maybe another day; I just want to get back to Pippa right now…’
‘Oh, yeah, right, sorry. Is that the bag you meant?’ he pointed towards the large Tesco bag.
‘Yeah, well, it was nice seeing you…’
‘Umm, I know it’s a bit soon but could I have your number? I don’t want to lose contact again.’
‘Yeah, sure.’ I took his phone and typed my number into it before giving it back to him.
‘Well, this is where I leave you, I guess…’ I picked up the bag and turned to go up the stairs. Before I could reach them, however, his hands grabbed me and span me round.
‘You forgot something Al...’
As I was about to question him, he pressed his lips to mine. He tasted like cherry and, as much as I was enjoying myself, I pulled away.
‘I’m so sorry, I couldn’t help myself.’
‘No, it’s… fine…’ I blushed, before wrapping my arms around him.
‘Can I see you again tomorrow?’ I whispered in his ear.
‘Anything for you.’ He replied, giving me a cheeky wink as I pulled out of the hug.
‘Well I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then…’
‘Bye Al,’ he kissed my cheek quickly before stepping back and watching me closely as I ran up the stairs to my apartment.
I waved to him before unlocking the door and rushing in. Pippa sprang from the shadows and grabbed me.
‘Why did you take so long? It was only outside.’
‘Well, you might want to sit down for this…’
We sat on the sofa and she motioned for me to begin.
‘So I got the bag, but then I had this feeling about one of the alleyways so I went to go check it out and some old creep grabbed me and had me pressed against the wall and he tried to rape me but some guy came along and stopped him and then helped me.’
‘How do you know this guy wasn’t a rapist too?’
‘Do you remember Jensen from High School?’
‘The really hot one that you used to be mega close to?’
‘Yeah, well it was him…’
Pippa stared at me, mouth agape, and eyes wide open.
‘Don’t look at me like that!’
‘So, did anything happen with you and Jensen?’
‘Well he kissed me but that’s nothing really. I gave him my number though and we arranged to meet up tomorrow…’
‘GET IN THERE AL!’
Oh god.
For those of you wondering, Jensen and I used to be best friends, we were the closest two people could get. I liked him for about three years but he never knew, or if he did, never showed any remote interest in me other than friendship. Then we left and went our separate ways, we never stayed in contact, but now I guess I’m re-united with him.
‘Shut up. Anyway, we gonna finish this Disney marathon or what?’
Just as we got comfy, I felt my phone buzz in my pocket…
(A/N) So, how's everyone liking Jensen? Which would you rather Alanis end up with: Jensen or Alex? Hope you're all enjoying reading this...x
