Throughout It All - A Talex Fanfic

Dinner Secrets

"Pasta or steak?" Hope asked, as she nudged me. I shrugged.

"Why so down?" Hope asked, "this isn't like the Alex I know,"

I sighed.

"Can you keep a secret?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"Yes," Hope nodded.

I took a deep breath.

"So today as I was getting out of the car to go into the hotel, I saw Tobin and Carli talking..."

"Um...okay," Hope looked confused.

"There's more," I quickly added.

"...then, as soon as I walked up to them, Carli gave Tobin this weird, secret nod, and quickly walked away," I continued.

Hope considered the information for a minute, and then spoke.

"It kinda sounds like you might be jealous, Alex," Hope laughed.

"What? Jealous of what?" I sputtered.

"Jealous of Carli hanging out with Tobin," Hope smirked.

I blushed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I challenged.

"Alex and Tobin sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-" I covered her mouth with my hand before she could finish.

"Keep it down!" I hissed.

"So you like Tobin?" Hope excitedly asked.

"Yeah...I guess? I don't know..." I shrugged.

"Did someone say my name?" Tobin suddenly asked.

Hope stares at me, uncertain of what to do. I give her a death glare.

"I...uh...wanted to know if...umm..you...wanted some orange juice?" Hope says while raising her small glass of orange juice.

Tobin bursts out laughing.

"Nah, I'm good. Thanks though," she says with a smile.

Dang, she was pretty...
