Summer of Boys

Chapter 17

The sound of a loud bang wakes me up from my peaceful slumber. I turn around in bed and see Leslie standing on a step ladder throwing things out of the closet. Another loud bang comes as she tosses out a box of red heels. "What are you doing?" By the small shriek Leslie gives out I can tell she didn't know I was awake. "God Alexis you scared the shit out of me." She climbs down the ladder and takes a seat at the foot of out bed. I sit up and rest my back against the head board.

"So what were you doing?" I ask again hoping i'll get an answer this time.

"I was trying to find an outfit for Tyler P's party tonight." I nod my head until I realize what she said and I shoot my head up looking at her intently.

"How'd you know about the party?" Leslie gets up and walks back over to the closet looking awfully quilty.

"I may have been ease dropping." Leslie puts her head down refusing to make eye contact.

"YOU WHAT?" I shout standing up.

"Alexis calm down it's no big deal! I'm sorry ok?" I take a deap breath calming down before walking over to the closet.

"Here wear this. You'll look great." I hand her a black dress that goes just above the knees with an open back and slits down the sides.

"Thanks babe." Leslie takes the dress and lays it on the bed before walking to the bathroom to take a shower.

I wait until Leslie comes out to go in and take my own shower. There's still enough hot water which feels amazing on my cool skin. After shampooing and conditioning my hair I run the razor over my legs and under arms leaving no stubble to be seen or feel. Who knows, Dylan might get a little touchy. Thinking this reminds me of our time after the Ellen show and I can feel blush creep onto my face.

I step out of the shower wrapping a towel around my wet body and walking into the bedroom. I change real fast into some jean shorts and t-shirt before walking up the staris. When I reach the top of the stairs I see Cameron and Saidie eating pizza. I look at the clock and see it's already 12. Wow I had no idea it was that late. I take a seat next to Jenny and start eating a slice myself.

"So you and Leslie are going to a party at Tyler's tonight?" Jenny asks in between bites.

"Ya Dylan's picking us up at 5:45. I don't know when we'll be back though."

"If you do come home that is." I choke on my pizza as Jenny stares at me with a smile on her lips.

"What?" I swallow the last bit that's in my mouth.

"Don't think I don't know that you've been spending the night at Dylan's." Her smile has now turned into a smirk and I can't help but blush and turn away.

"Listen-"

"Don't worry I won't tell your parents or Morgan." She cuts me off and gives me a smile. I throw my arms around her and squeeze tightly. "You're the best!" I let go and get up heading back down stairs to start getting ready. Before I hit the basement I hear Jenny yell "Ya I know I am!"

--------------------------------------------

Dylan should be here any minute and I am surprisingly finished getting ready. I make my way up the stairs and just as I do I hear the doorbell ring. I walk over and turn the knob showing a very well dressed Dylan. He's wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a white striped button down. "You look amazing." I step aside to allow Dylan to enter the house and when he does he pulls me in for a short kiss.

"You look beautiful." Just as he says this Leslie walks in to join us. "Both of you." Dylan kisses Leslie on the cheek and gives her a hug. I decided to wear the same dress I wore for my birthday sine Dylan told me it was a more formal event. Dylan goes in between Leslie and I guiding us both to the car opening the door for us to slide in.
