Brothers Bestfriend

Chap: 20

Alexa's POV

Riley's nose is in my hair, his long legs tangled with mine. When I woke up under his covers the next morning. The bedroom windows were slightly open letting and letting in chilly morning breeze through his thin currants, spreading comfortably in his room.

It was so cozy I argued with myself for a minute. My stomach growled, I was hungry.

Trying to not wake him up he was behind me, I carefully removed his legs from mine, twisted my body on my side around so that I was facing towards him. He shirtless, curled up. Blond hair, messy and fluffy from his sleep, falls over his forehead. Without thinking, I twist a soft golden strand, around my finger.

I wait to see if he stirs when he doesn't, I guide fingers towards the back of his neck, and let my fingers weave through his hair at the nape of his neck. Much to my luck, he stirs awake.

Green eyes blink lazily, awake and slow, a sleepy grin spreads across his face. Sweet Jesus, he is a adorable.

He bows, his head in his pillow sleepy, and mumbling, "What are you doing?"

"Uh nothing. There, um was something in your hair." I said pulling the covers off me.

He lifts up his chin and looks up at me, with a playful smile. "Mm, you should be less worried about mine, and be worried about yours."

He nods towards my hair, leaning in whispering, "It looks like a rat nest."

"Doses not!" I slapped him hard against his shoulder, nudging him, then reaching down finger combing my hair behind my ears.

"I'm only joking." He yawns shifting in bed.

I slipped out of bed and walked towards the kitchen. Then I made bacon and cereal for myself eating it. I couldn't believe that, Riley and I are living together.

"Where are you going to again?" Jason asked opening the fridge.

"I'm going shopping with Vanessa." I reminded him, for the second time. I might as well go to the mall. Riley is working all day anyway he was going to come back later. He works with Jason fixing cars at the Auto shop. Riley was training to be a doctor, but changed his mind he wanted to fix cars instead.

"Just to the mall?"

"Yes dad." I said taking his Gatorade taking a sip.

"Attitude." He muttered snatching his Gatorade back from my hands. 

I rolled my eyes. "Do you work tonight?

He gestured towards his work unform he was currently wearing. "No I'm just wearing this for fun."

"Look who has the attitude now." I teased him.

Vanessa came and wrapped her arms around Jason's neck, and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm going out babe."

"Call me when your done?"

"I will." Vanessa confirmed leaving apartment with her keys in her hand.

I rolled my eyes couples.

I followed her and closed the apartment door, behind me. We went on the elevator.

Vanessa drove to the mall with the cars windows down with the radio blasting.

"I need some gray T- shirts." I said, as we headed inside.

"Forever 21 has them right now for sale." She pointed out.

"I will be there, then."

"I have to go to pink to return back something, I will go with you in five minutes."

I nodded, and then went to Forever 21.

They indeed have gray tee-shirts, but I got distracted they had one cute black dress left. I couldn't help but grab it.

I tried on the gray T- shirt the first thing, the thing I came for. The last time I shopped here I was a XS.

The shirt was tight, that told me I needed to move up to a medium.

I tried on pants and they fit I got 2 pairs. I threw the T-shirt and pants aside.

I still had my black dress.

I put on the black dress, staring at the mirror.

It clung to my upper body and it flowed out prettily.

I went outside to look at myself in the 3 way mirror.

"Its looks like it fits you right."  The Forever 21 employee committed.

"Yeah I noticed that to." I said agreeing.

"That's a gorgeous dress." The Forever 21 employee committed again.

I nodded and slipped into the dressing room, changing out of my sundress.

"Alexa?" Vanessa called out. "Are you in there?"

"Yeah." I called out.

"Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yep."

The whole day we went shopping and came back with lots of bags of clothes, shoes.

"It was you're night to make dinner, you came late." Jason reminded me  when I walked inside of the apartment.

"My bad." I said.

"I made it, but you owe me."

"Okay." I said agreeing, before heading back to my bedroom.

"You're not going to eat any of it?" Jason called after me.

"I ate at the mall with Vanessa!" I called back, closing the bedroom door.
