Chapter 21- Shit! I'm kissing Will!
*Kyle's POV*
I'm waiting outside Will's apartment, thinking that they eventually have to come back here.
After waiting for awhile I spot them. Or, I actually hear them. Alexis' laugh captures my attention and I swiftly turn my head. They're walking close to each other, and Will looks at Alexis fondly when she laughs at his joke. Damn, I've never felt more jealous. She should be laughing at my jokes, I should look at her fondly like that. As they get closer I sneak around the corner, hiding from their view. As Will holds the door open to he she blushes. My hatred for him just shoots through the roof, and I have to stop myself from punching him.
When I'm sure that they're inside and won't see me, I run to the fireescape stairs. My military training turns out to be very useful in this situation. I thought that it would be easier but it took a lot of effort until i finally stood outside Will's window. I peeked in and saw Alexis rising from the sofa at the same time that Will came out from what I presume is his bedroom. As she turns around they are suddenly very close. Oh no. No no no no no no no. Please don't. I see them moving closer, and suddenly their lips meet in a kiss. In that moment, my heart started aching.
Ouch.
*Alexis' POV*
As our lips move together I can't help but feel that something is wrong. There's no spark, no passion. The kiss just feels... Empty.
Shit! I'm kissing Will!
As realization dawns on me I roughly push him away with a bewildered look in my eyes.
"Oh no. I-I can't do this. I-I'm so sorry." The words tumble out of my mind as I quickly grab my phone and head towards the door.
"No Alexis, wait!" He grabs my arm but I shake him off.
"No, this was a mistake. Just... Just forget about this, alright?" He looks hurt but I can't deal with this right now so I shake him off and storm out his door. He doesn't follow me.
*Kyle's POV*
"But hey, Kyle. Tell me about your lady." Blake stops his rambling about Emma and I snap out of my thoughts about said lady.
"She's amazing man, you don't have any idea. She's the nicest girl ever, but she's still sarcastic, funny and witty." I plaster a fake smile on my face and force myself to get them out of my mind.
"She sounds great. How long have you been together?" He smiles at me.
"For four years now." I smile the fake smile at him.
"Isn't it time to pop the question soon?" He winks at me and I smile an awkward smile.
"I've got something in mind." I smirk at him.
"Boys, get back to work and stop gossiping!" Our boss yells from across the room and I'm thankful that I get to concentrate on my 'job'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I get to the apartment building at five thirty, I meet Will in the lobby and instantly tense up.
"Mr. Brown." He nods at me and avoids eye contact. He should.
"William, do you know if my girlfriend is home yet? I'm taking her out for dinner." He squirms visibly and still refuse to meet my harsh stare.
"No sir, she isn't."
"Kyle?" Her voice stops me from interrogation further.
"Hi honey. What a surprise to meet you here." I slowly turn around to meet her almost scared gaze.
"Yes, shall we go upstairs?" She smiles pleadingly at me and I give in.
"Of course darling. Come on then." I give her a tense smile and hold my hand out towards her. She cautiously takes it and we move past Will who's eyes are still avoiding us. Alexis completely ignores him which surprises me. Last time I saw then together they were making out.
When the elevator arrives at our floor she hurries out from the elevator, unlocks the door and sprint towards the shower. I sigh and dump my stuff on the hanger next to the door, then proceed to the kitchen. I ruffle through the take out menu's and decide on sushi. I know since before what she wants so I order quickly. When I hang up the phone someone clears their throat behind me and I turn around. There Alexis stand, in a crop top and sweats. She looks at me with red, swollen eyes that give away her earlier tears. I sigh and sit down on the sofa, patting the space next to me.
"So, do you want me to start?" I cautiously ask. She nods.
"Okay, the reason I did it was because I... I don't know. I think I'm starting to...Ugh." I consider confessing my love for her but decide against it.
"I did it because I- Okay, shit. Can't you start?" I plead. She stares at me for awhile until she finally nods.
"Yesterday I, um after I ran away from you I met Will in the lobby. He offered to take me to his apartment and I really didn't want to face you so I went with him and then we kind of... Wekissedbutitdidn'tfeelrightsoIpushedhimaway." She says everything so fast I can't make out a single word.
"Can you say that again? But this time, slow it down. A lot." She gives me a sheepish look and takes a deep breath.
"I kissed Will but it didn't feel right. I didn't feel the spark that you're supposed to feel. So I pushed him away." She avoids eye contact but her words makes my broken heart piece back together, slowly.
"I knew you kissed him. I was worried and then asked someone who told me about you leaving with Will, so I checked his apartment and saw you two kissing through the window but then I left." Now it's my turn to avoid eye contact as she breathes in sharply.
"It's alright. I mean, you were only worried. But now I want you to explain why you slept with Olivia." She narrows her eyes at me and I gulp audibly. I think it's time to tell her the truth.
"I did it because I'm in love with you and I wanted it to go away because I can't be in love with you, I just can't. We work together. But I can't help it. Every time I look at you my heart clenches because you're just so goddamn beautiful." I speak quickly but judging from her expression, she understood every word.
*Alexis POV*
Bloody hell.
