"What the fuck is the matter with you Alex?" You hiss, starting at his red,swollen face. "Why have you been drinking?" You ask him.
"I haven't" he slurs, you can smell the alcohol in his breath.
"I can smell it, Al. Why are your eyes a red?" You ask quietly, starting to feel a little sympathetic.
"Something in my eye, Darcy. Can I come in now?" He slurs.
Of course he could of come in, it was the one thing you wanted more than anything.
"No,Al. Look, I've got to meet up with Ryan in like ten minutes and I couldn't go last night because your stupid little self had to walk back into my life." You babble out quickly, regretting it as soon as you finish the sentence. Alex started to look happy, because you just stupidly,made it obvious you had been thinking about him.
He suddenly starts leaning in to kiss you, and you lean in too, for a second, until you snap out of it and realise what the hell you're doing.
Al stops leaning in and looks at the floor sadly.
"Can I come in?" He asks again. You sigh.
"Fine. But only for two minutes, I'm gonna get you some water, since you're well and truly wasted." you say to him. You walk into the flat and he follows you in, wiping his feet on the mat at the door.
"Have you re decorated?" Alex asks, tripping over something on the floor.
You had redecorated, quite a lot, since the break up.
"Yes." you say, "Yeah, I have."
You turn on the kitchen sink, dipping your finger into the flowing water to make sure the it was cold.
You fill a plastic cup with the water from the sink and pour yourself a glass of juice.
You hand the water to Alex, who was already sat on your couch. You sit on the sofa by Alex and take a sip of your juice. You can feel the warmth of Alex next to you. It was silent for a minute or two before he broke the silence.
"Darcy?" He croaked. You turn to him, his eyes are even more red and had started to get watery.
"What?" you say,
"In all seriousness, how are you doing? Are you feeling okay? I don't want to be the one fucking with your head, yeah?" He says, his accent shining through.
"Well that's a damn shame," you say, glancing up at him.
It was silent for another few minutes, then you feel an arm over you. Alex pulled you close so your face was resting on his shoulder, your head facing his neck. You didn't make any attempt to shake Al off of you, because quite frankly, you enjoy resting on his shoulder. Alex smelt of alcohol, gum, and some cologne. Alex looked down at you, down at your lips to be exact. He didn't make a move though, he stared at them for a minute and then sighed and looked away. You started to fall asleep on Alex, when your phone started to vibrate. Shit. It was Ryan. You were already twenty minutes late. You stand up, slightly disappointed because you could stay lay on Alex forever.
"Where are you going? I enjoyed that," Alex said, sounding really disappointed. "So did I" you thought, but didn't say it.
"I've gotta go,Al." You say. Alex stands up with a sigh.
"Can I call you?" He asks, walking to the door.
You hesitate, then nod. He grins happily and you walk over to the door to let him out. He stands facing you, silent for a moment. Then, he kisses you. This time you didn't try and stop him, you just cup his face and kiss him back. He was really gentle and sweet and when he stopped you sighed with disappointment. He smiled at you then turned around to leave.
"Thanks for the water, Darcy" you hear him say. You can't help but smile.
With a touch up of makeup, you dash out the door to meet Ryan.
