Mr. Mendes

Betrayal.

Lexi.

"Yes mom?" I huffed under my breath and I could hear her footsteps coming towards me.

"Where are you going?" She asked and I turned around to look at her.

"I'm just going out with the girls. Emma wanted to finish my birthday off with a sleep over," I lied and she nodded.

"Are you sure you aren't just going to see Mark?" She questioned and I shook my head.

"Mom, I don't even like Mark, and plus, we broke up," I said and her eyes widened.

"Really? Do you want to talk about it? I mean it hasn't even been a full day," she said bluntly and I shook my head again.

"No mom I'm fine, seriously, I just have to go," I said and turned towards the door again.

"Wait, I want to talk to you about something else too," she said and I turned to her again to see her looking towards the dining room table.

I knew exactly what she was think, so I walked into the dining room and sat down.

"So what would you like to talk to me about?" I questioned as she sat down across from me.

"Just something that I've had on my mind for a few months, but never knew how to bring it up to you," she said and I nodded.

"And what would that be?"

"Just how long have you and Mark actually been together?" My mom questioned and I tilted my head at her in confusion.

"Just today, why?" I said and she looked down at her hands.

"Look, Alexis, I want you to be honest with me. Either I found something in your room that belonged to Mark or someone else."

"I still don't know what you're talking about," I said.

"Alexis, I know you're hiding something because if you weren't, then I wouldn't have found a used condom."

God dammit Shawn!

My eyes widened and I tried to think of some sort of lie.

"Alexis?"

"Um yeah it was Marks' but we had a falling out and then we got back together but that obviously didn't work," I lied and she nodded.

"Well at least you're being safe, and keep it that way," she said sternly and I nodded.

"Right...well can I go?" I said while I rose from the seat.

"Of course, have fun," my mom said and I just walked out the door.

I got into my car and turned the engine on then heard my phone buzz. I looked down to see a text from, finally, the right person.

Shawn: Alexis, I'm so sorry for how I reacted I was so stupid...I love you so much and I feel like an idiot for ruining your birthday.

Alexis: Baby, I don't care about that, I just want to be with you right now and explain everything.

Shawn: Can you come over then? Preferably in your birthday present I got you?

Alexis: Already have it on for you. ;)

Shawn: Okay beautiful, I'll see you when you get here. x

Alexis: Okay, I love you Shawn.

Shawn: I love you too Alexis, forever.

Alexis: And always.

I put my phone down into the cup holder and pulled out of my driveway. Now, all I had on my mind was jumping into bed with Shawn. I wanted to end this birthday perfectly, and with him, that was definitely the only option.
