Finally 18 (girlxgirl)

Chapter 36

I slowly sit up and yawn, glancing around. I look down and see Alex still asleep.

I slide outta bed and walk to the bathroom. I brush out my hair and walk back into the bedroom, going to Alex's closet.

"Cooper?" I hear Alex's raspy, sleepy voice ask.

I walk back into the bedroom. "Yeah?"

She smiles. "I didn't know where you were."

"In the closet, looking for a single ounce of color."

"Black is a color," she says, laying back down. "It has shades like jet black, midnight black, dark black, so on and so forth."

"Dark black isn't exactly a shade you consider happy and flowery."

"Just shut up and come lay with me."

I walk back over to the bed, climbing in front of Alex. She drapes her arm over my waist and kisses my neck, pulling me closer.

"I had a dream you left me last night," Alex says.

"Sounds more like a nightmare," I say.

"Yeah. You went back to Ethan and then to icky Alexis and then to that Cameron fuck-up and then to Griffin, but never to me."

"..what?" I ask, turning to her.

She shrugs, putting her arms behind her head.

"You remember Cameron..and Alexis?"

"Of course, they wanted you. They tried to take you from me. I always remember my enemies."

I smile slightly at her words and brush some hair from her face. "I didn't even remember them until you brought them up, baby. Don't ever worry about me leaving you, I've done it too much to ever do it again, I don't like it one teeny tiny bit."

"Me either," she says.

I look down at her and just take in her features. The dimples, the cute, tiny nose, the full, soft pink lips, the perfect, straight white teeth, the long, dark eyelashes and the big, deep gray eyes that I've come to love so much. I think gray is my new favorite color.

"What?" she asks.

I say nothing, just take in the rest of her. The long, wavy black hair, the extremely sexy body, with a perfectly toned and slender torso. The perfectly toned legs to match, with the cutest feet ever.

And yes, feet can be cute, Alex makes them cute.

"Cooppppeerr," she whines.

"What?"

"You're staring at me."

I nod. "I sure am."

"Why?"

"Because you're soo beautiful."

She blinks those perfect eyes and eyelashes and glances at the wall. "Thank you."

"You know that, don't you?"

She shrugs. "I guess."

"I love you sooo much."

"Because you think I'm beautiful?" she smiles.

"Because you're stunning. And because you love me and hate everyone else."

"You like that?" she laughs.

"More than you'll ever know. It just proves how much you love me. You hate everyone in the world, except one person."

She nods. "Yeah. You."

"And I love that."

"Good," she says. "Now, kiss me, you haven't kissed me all day."
