Alex's Story

Chapter 5

Our lips met and all I felt was sparks. Everywhere. It was like his touch sent fire all through me. He grabbed my waist and held me tight. This was perfect, until someone decided to clear their throats. We pulled away and I turned around and saw the gorgeous girl I met tonight. I guess I can see the resemblance, but not that much. "Who are you?" She asked innocently.

"Oh I'm Alex and you are?" I asked. This girl had to be no older than 15, now that I get a better look at her.

"I'm Madeline, Your kissing-partners little sister!" She said rushing over and shaking my hand.

"How old are you?" I questioned releasing her hand and tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"14." She smiled, I smiled back as Christian cleared his throat.

"Fine, I'll go. Oh have fun sharing saliva. Remember sharing is caring!" She laughed as she walked back to the living room.

"Sorry about her." He chuckled.

"No problem, um can I ask for a ride home?" I asked shyly.

" Or you could spend the night." He said, then winked. My cheeks flushed and I turned around.

"How about no." I said turning back around now that my cheeks turned to regular temperature . He nodded and smiled as he grabbed my hand. He led me out the kitchen door and into his car. "Nice car." I complimented. It was a mustang, but I don't know which kind.

"Thanks." He said opening the door for me. I climbed in and sat down hooking my seat belt. He jogged over to his side and got in and reversed a little, but stopped "Okay where do you live?" He asked confused, looking at me.

"Oh on Maple Drive. I'll show you the house." I said as he smiled and the drive off. "So your dad? Does he do that all the time?" I asked.

"Only when he's drunk, sometimes he takes it out on me or my sisters, or my older brothers Matthew." He explained still keeping his eyes on the road.

"Well, I'm sorry, maybe me and you can go to the police and try something?" I offered. He shook his head 'no'.

"Matthew's tried. There's nothing they can do." He explained. We finally got to my house and he parks the car turning it off.

"Well I guess this is goodnight." I said. He nodded. I opened my door, only to be pulled back by Christian grabbing my arm.

"Wait. One more kiss?" He asked innocently. He made puppy dog eyes, too cute. I mean, who can say no to that face. I grabbed his neck with both my hands and our lips met as the sparks regained. I pulled apart, so it didn't get too heated and smiled. He smiled back and winked. I swear I was crimson red. I got out of his car and waved at him.

I jogged to my from steps and opened the door, closing it quickly behind me and slide down sitting on my butt. I sighed really loudly and smiled. This has been an interesting day.
