Scars of your love

Chapter 27

We continue to kiss. Alex rolls us, his body is pinning me from head to toe. Alex starts to move south, his lips are on me, kissing my jaw and moving to my neck. My breathing is becoming hard. Alex starts kneading my breast, his fingers are stroking it and tugging the hardened nipple. A moan escapes me, embarrassing me. I grab a fistful of his hair, I want his lips back on mine.

Before we can go any further, the banging on the door interrupts us. Fortunately, the door is locked. Alex presses his forehead on mine. Both of our breathing is laboured, our hearts beating even harder against our chests.

"We are going to be late for practice. Do a rain check on your shenanigans."

Alex lifts his head, glaring at the door, if only he can make the door disappear and shot Logan.

"Coming in five." Alex snaps. He exhales sharply, taking out his temper. I can reciprocate with him.

Alex raises up from the bed and moves to the bathroom. I rise on my elbows, staring at his muscular back and his absolutely wonderful ass. Damn. Alex comes out freshen and starts getting dressed for the practice. I just stay there and enjoy the show. Savouring in the ecstasy of yesterday's and today's morning events. How can so much change in twelve hours? It's doesn't mean that we don't have issues that need to be solved but still. We have expressed our feelings in the most subtle way.

It only takes about ten minutes for him to get ready, only ten minutes to make him irresistible. Alex covers the distance between us and pulls me out of the bed. He gently tucks a lock of hair behind my ear.

"Why don't you meet me after the practice and we can go somewhere?"

Everything inside me melts. All I can do at that moment is nod, as the lump of emotions stuck in my throat is making it hard for me to speak. Alex smiles, a rare smile that actually touches his eyes. A smile that can set a thousand fireworks free inside me. Alex gives me a chaste kiss before leaving.

I fall back on his bed, content at the moment. I have to get back to my apartment and freshen up for and go to the molecular biology lab. After that I am going to meet Alex. Just the prospect of meeting him, is making my blood race.

For the rest of the afternoon, I am busy with my coursework. It has been an exhausting day, with the remnant traces of hangover and the continuous hounding of the professor for three hours long. But it doesn't flatter the excitement I feel as I near the arena grounds. At the same time, I am a nervous wreck. Not about meeting Alex though. I am over cloud nine about meeting Alex but Paul is also going to be there. Some part of me hopes that I don't come across Paul. Another part of me wants to meet him and say sorry for yesterday night. I have to do that at some time. Sooner the better.

I have to apologise to him. In our game, Alex and I- no me alone- has involved him. I just hope he has invited me to the after game party just has a friend and nothing more. He is a good friend and I don't want to lose him. I will talk to him and clarify this as soon as possible. After that I can meet Alex, the thought of meeting Alex is making my blood hum.

When I near the front of the arena, I take out my mobile from my pocket and dial Paul's number. The call goes straight to the voicemail. Maybe the practice hasn't ended yet.

Shit!

I don't want to hurt either Alex or Paul. I go the bleachers and sit on them. I can easily make out Alex out of everyone, he stands out. I stare at his every movement like a hawk, unable to take my eyes away from his figure. The way he moves on the field with ease, the way his muscles flex when he catches the ball. It is intriguing. The overwhelming feeling in my chest is increasing and consuming me bit by bit. As if he can feel my presence, Alex turns and searches through the bleachers. I sink low in my seat to avoid detecting. But all in vain. He finally catches my eye.  I grin and wave my hand like an idiot that I am. This time it is me who sense his smile. I don't know what it is between us but whatever it is and wherever it takes me I will be damned if I don't follow it.
