The Hookup

Chapter Twenty One

Buffy walked back in with Alex. Alex seemed to be better. We all decided to leave, a couple hours later.

"I think we need to talk." Buffy said. We were clean and were currently eating pizza. "Okay?" I was lost and confused. "You know I love you right?" I nodded. "You know that phone call I received from Maria? She was pregnant with my child and she miscarried." I was in shock and hurt. "So you did cheat." I scooted away from him. "Kir. I love you, in love with you. But I love her. I can't let her go." Tears had already flowed down my cheeks. "So the wedding is off and... you're leaving me?" I questioned. He slowly nodded, looking at me with sympathy. I got up, threw the ring at him, and went to Mya's room. Everyone was gathered in there. They looked at me. "I'm so sorry Kir." Mya said. They knew. They all gave me hug, except Alex. I eyed him. He caused this. I walked out of their room and went back to the pool. I went to the jacuzzi. I slipped my Toms off and stripped to my bra and panties. It looks like a two piece anyways. Nobody was there. The door opened and I directed my attention towards it. Ash.

"Babe? You alright?" He asked. It was no biggie that he called me that. He has been calling me that since we were fourteen and we're twenty five. "No. Everything is falling apart. I had a fiancee but he wasn't really in love with me, a baby daddy that caused everything, and no where go." He wrapped his arm around me, his hair flopping in front of his crystal blue gray eyes. "Alex really loves you. We have hung out a few times and he was all like, 'She's amazing and she belongs with me. I want to marry her but somehow she or I keep screwing other people. But I'm done with that. I just want her'" I looked at Ash, gazing in his eyes. He gazed back. He kissed my cheek then forehead before standing up. "I'm going to propose to Mya tomorrow at the beach." He smiled at me. I smiled back. "Thanks Ash. I love you bro." He smiled wider, "Love you too, sis." I see every reason why Mya chose him. And soon she'll have him forever.

I walked back into the room. Buffy was spread across the bed, only in his boxers, and his phone on his ear. He mumbled spanish words before hanging up. He sat up. "Hey." He voice was deep and sexy. I ignored him before laying in the opposite bed. I grabbed my phone, texting Zoe and the girls I was coming over. I slipped on my leggings and a sports bra before heading over bare foot. I heard a male voice inside. I knocked on the door. It opened reviling Alex. "Hey." He voice wasn't as deep as Buffy's but it was indeed sexy. "Hi." I suddenly became extremely bashful. He tilted his head smiling, grabbing my waist, leading me inside. "I was entertaining your friends." I looked at his bare chest. Then looked at my friends, their faces blocked with blankets and pillows. I smiled at them and then Alex. "Guys its alright." I told them as Alex put his shirt back on. "We were playing strip poker." He slyly smiled. We bust out in laughter. "You sleeping with me tonight?" He whispered. I shook my head. "I'm staying in my room, just another bed." He smirked, that same smirk from the hookup almost a year ago.
