I can not believe Washington. Yes, I would like to be Alex's boyfriend... BUT I AM NOT! We stared at each other blankly for a solid few minutes before Herc snapped me out of it.
This camp lasts a month and I already have the head-man teasing me... He look over at Aaron, who is still laying still, but noticeably better, probably just sleeping, so I let him be.
I look over at Alex, who's eyes are still locked on me. I stand up, watching to see if he moves, but he does not. I slowly walk over to him and rest my head on his shoulder.
A few seconds passed before he noticed and he jumped a little before laying back on me. Such a cute kid, thinks he owns the world, but I see right through him. I can not tell him that, however, so he stays this way. Can he stay like this forever? Just us together? No... snap out of it John, this is not you...
------------------------------------
Later that day, we are outside helping some others with training, when Washington calls us into his tent. Of course, the first thing I do when I enter is look around at how nice it is set up, it must be great only having one person in a tent, but I am glad I have some friends.
He gets right to the point, mentioning how earlier that day a couple camp leaders got into a massive fight and were sent home. He wanted Alex and I to take their positions. I could not believe what I heard. I just got here and I was already on my way to the top. There is so much work to be done. I take the offer immediately and head back outside to help everyone finish up, it is almost break time after all.
------------------------------------------
Alex stayed in the tent a few minutes longer, I will have to ask what it was about later. I see him leave and head over to him, just in time for break! I quickly ask him what the extra time was about and he almost just as quickly responded, "It was nothing." I kept bothering him about it until he finally whispered, "About... Umm.... Us... Together..."
I swear if Washington keeps this up. I guess I made a facial expression of some sort when I was thinking that because Alex looked over at me then pulled me into a long hug. Not gonna lie, it was nice, but is he trying to get somewhere?
I think I lost control because once Alex pulled me in, I held him as tight as I could for as long as I could. I am pretty sure Washington was watching from his tent, but let him! If he keeps teasing us about this, he had to have seen it coming!
