Love on a hold

Chapter 4

After squeezing and drying their drying their clothes he returns with clean towels for them . He drops them at the edge of the pool and joins her with a splash.
" okay now tell me what all this is about ?" Alex asks surprised even tho she was happy.
" I thought you said we should take our bath after eating so that's exactly what we are doing " Elkin replies messing around her.
" silly ass. When I said bath I didn't mean skinny dipping in the pool but a swim.. In your shorts and me in my underwear." She says laughing as she splashes water on him. After they have a water splash battle with Alex mostly running away from him trying to hide herself from him. As much as she loved him , he didn't know that and she had never let anyone seen her naked before . She was a virgin and even tho she would willingly give it to Elkin , she didn't want it to look like she was pushing herself on someone's boy friend even tho he was her closest friend. After wearing out from their battle , Elkin grows impatient and grabs Alex and kisses her passionately. Alex responds to his kiss . Even tho she was shocked, she was happy . At least she would enjoy this while it last.  He let her go after a serious make out and let's them breathe. With both their hearts pounding vigorously in their chests , Alex stares happily yet stunned at him.
" what is all this about Elkin?" Alex asks out of breath .
" I love you Alex " Elkin confesses. He starts to tell her how much he fell for her when he first say her in school when she returned from her funeral . " I have always loved you Alex" he ends turning pink from embarrassment as Alex smiles adoringly at him. Worry flashes in Alex's face as she realizes he has a girl friend
" oh I love you too Elkin buh what about sandy?" She asks him worriedly.
"We will figure something out. Right ?" He asks uncertainly as he scratches the back of his head as he realizes he never thought of that as he planned to confess his heart out to Alex.
"Yes ! Yes ! We will " Alex squealed as she swam into his arms. They start to kiss till they end end up breathless .
After a few minutes , they head to Alex place and continue to make love . Since it was Alex first time Elkin went slow and lovingly for her to adjust to him. After hours of going on and off they rest in each other's arms and lie in comfortable silence .

" Alex !!  " Ellen calls on her daughter as she entered the house. It seemed dark and too quiet which was unusual of her bubbly girl. " maybe she's asleep" she thought.
Kicking off her heels she heads up to her room to check up on her . Upon entering she turns on he light and gasps in horror at the sight before her.
" omg . Alex McCarty What the hell is going on in here" Ellen screams
Alex stirs and turns to see her mom. Smiling guiltily she gets out of Elkins arms and get dressed signaling her mom to calm down.
" don't whoosh me young lady. I need explanation now " Ellen whisper yelled as she went out of the room down to the living room. She felt thirsty all of a sudden and needed a drink.
After glancing at Elkins sexy sleeping figure she tails after her mom into the kitchen.
Taking a seat on the bar stool across her mom she watches her as she gulps down some cool water nervously. They had never had the sex talk buh her mom had always hinted her to abstain most of the times.
Gesturing at her to start talking , Alex laughs at her moms reaction and covers her mouth as she remembers Elkin is still fast asleep.
" I'm sorry mom. I know you are mad I couldn't abstain but I just couldn't help it "Alex starts
" yea right. But that doesn't explain meeting you in bed with a deliciously young man in your bed. "Ellen warns
" mom, that delicious young man is Elkin and today we both confessed how much we love each other" she replies her mom. She then narrates her whole day to her as she watches her mothers face soften.
" o sweets , I'm happy for you . Buh I'm scared. You are too young to get a heartbreak . I can't see you break again after you lost your dad" Ellen says as she circles the bar separating them and hugs her daughter.
" I'm fine mom. I'm happy." Alex replies
" why didn't you tell me about him sooner Alex? " Ellen asked
" o mom, you were grieving . How could I come home and be all happy at find in love when you were still mourning dad , your lost love" she replied sadly.
" oh my baby" she hugs her daughter.
" mom I'm fine really. I'm really happy " Alex assures her mom
" oh yes . I can see that . But what if you get pregnant or get infected . sweets abstaining is always the best you know." She advices
"Mom! What are you implying. Elkin is my first and my last. And he's a good guy . He doesn't go around screwing everything in skirt." Alex throws a fit
"Alright. He sounds like a good guy buh please promise me you'll be careful honey " her mom tells her worriedly
" I promise mom" Alex assures her with a hug. They smile and hug and laugh sharing a mutual feeling .
They stop as they hear someone clear their throat behind them. They both turn and see Elkin all dressed up standing there awkwardly. Alex goes to him and hugs him sideways pulling him to his mom.
"mom  this is the infamous Elkin. Elkin meet my mom" Alex introduces. Ellen smiles at Elkins extended hands as she pulled him into a warm hug.
" oh don't go all formal on me . You are now my son since Alex has already married you in her head " she teases making them all laugh.
" yea sure ma'am . It's nice to finally meet Alex's mom"Elkin replies
" oh don't call me ma'am . Call me Ellen " Ellen said
Alex stayed quietly as she watched them interact mostly her mom asking about Elkins family. She saw her mom laugh a lot as she realized she and Elkins mom has a lot in common. Soon they end and Alex sees Elkin off after kissing him as he got a cab to go.
