Alexis POV-3 weeks later

I crossed my legs and uncrossed them. I stacked up the bundle of papers. Almost done. Ever since the day that Miss.Delilah told us about the research project, me and Aiden, oh okay, Aiden and I met every day. Aiden actually isn't that bad. He got his growth spurt and he's slimmed down. He isn't Mr.Hotness but he's..tolerable. If only he got rid of his braces and that damn Justin Bieber haircut. Don't hate Beliebers. Ding dong. I tripped out of my chair and answered the door. Aiden smiled at me. I pointed at his teeth "NO BRACES". He nodded excitedly. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a NEW MAN" I said to an imaginary audience.

"Done phew" I mimed wiping sweat of my brow. I jumped into my light blue sofa. I gestured him to come sit with me. I switched on an episode of FRIENDS. It was the episode with the whole "we were on a break thing". After about 15 minutes of awkward silence, Aiden breaks it. "Alexis". I pause the episode and look at him. "Whats the deal with you and Regan". There it was, words I wanted someone to say because I never had the courage to utter. I could feel my impenetrable wall shaking. I wanted to tell him everything.But I can't tell him. I can't tell Tzara and definitely not Kiara. So I held back my tears and gave Aiden a nonchalant shrug. "Whatever is happening with you and Regan I can tell you are not happy with it and Alexis Ren you are the strongest woman I know." Alexis Ren might be but Mary-Lou Shepard certainly isn't. "Regan isn't good enough for you" I can his eyes. I leaned closer. The subject is 5cm away. Suddenly his soft lips were pressed against mine. He tasted like peppermint, unlike Regan who always had the taste of booze lingering on his lips. The knot in my stomach tightened and a volcano of fluttering butterflies erupted in my stomach. I slipped my fingers through his. But Aiden jolted back and stood up immediately. He grabbed the bundle of papers and fumbled with his bag. "I should be going". He gave me an awkward wave and rushed out of the apartment. 

I fell flat on the sofa. Someone's in looove a voice at the back of my head taunted. NO, definitely not, but maybe I'm a teensy tiny bit in LIKE. Argh. Houston. We got a problem.

A/n: Well this wasn't surprising. I know again short you can count on Julie for long chapters. Anyways hope you liked it. So who do you like better? Alexis or Kiara/ Mary-Lou or Susan.
