Chapter 8

Alexis:

It was late when Chester and I went home without Rob.

He was nowhere to be found when we left.

Brad said he'd take care of it and let us know if anything happened.

I trusted him and left it at that.

Chester and I were lying next to each other in my bed.

He was just in his boxer shorts and me in my panties and a Stone Temple Pilots shirt (which actually once belonged to Chester).

His arm was around my waist and held me against his chest.

"I love you." He whispered in my ear.

"I love you more." I whispered back.

"That's impossible."

"Jerk."

"Bitch."

I raised my head a little to look at him.

"What is it with you all and that stupid Supernatural reference?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I dunno."

I rolled with my eyes and laid my head back on his chest.

Suddenly the thought came back to my mind that I had for a few days.

"Chaz?" I started.

"Hm?" He hummed.

"Does it frustrate you that we haven't had sex yet?"

He opened his eyes and stared at me.

"What? No. It's okay. You want to wait, and that's fine. It's your first time. I can wait until you're ready."

"B-But what if I want do it in the nearest time?"

"Well, then I make sure it's romantic as hell."

I hugged him tightly.

"You're perfect to me."

He kissed me on the head.

"Let's sleep and talk about it tomorrow." He said.

"Okay."

I closed my eyes and put one arm around Chester's torso.

A little later I fell asleep.

***

Rob still wasn't home when we got up.

That worried me at first, but when I read Brad's message that he was going to spend the night with him, I was reassured.

But it worried me again when I saw Brad's car in the driveway at noon and Rob literally escaped.

He cried as he ran past me.

What the hell happened?

I went after him immediately, of course.

"Rob?" I addressed him gently.

"Go away!" He shouted sobbingly.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked worriedly as I sat with him on the edge of the bed.

He turned his head to me and looked at me with empty red eyes.

"I kissed Brad."

I stared at him with a mixture of horror and surprise.

"He replied just to push me away a little later and tell me it was wrong." He went on when I said nothing about it.

"Oh Rob.. You love him, right? It's not just a little crush." I said and put my hand on his.
