ImAllexx x Reader | call me friend but keep me closer

chapter 2

You changed into a white designer t-shirt, tucked into your pale Levis shorts. A pair of white sneakers and a clock on your left arm and your pink MCM backpack.  So yeah, really a simple but nice outfit that fitted your slim thicc body beautifully. 

Ava locked the door and you three took the stairs down, leaving the building and entering the warm city again.

Hannah looked at her phone as you started to walk around the building towards the Riverside Walk. "Ok, so Mc Donalds should be just down the street."

"Yes, Charlie and his friends are there right now."

"Aight, so Mc Donalds is the place where everyone hangs out?"

"Nope, Mc Donalds suck. But I wanted you to meet Charlie so I told him that you two wanted to go to Mc Donalds." 

"What."

"Yes, but you two really have to promise to not freak out."

"What?"

Hannah raised an eyebrow as you kept walking down the river. "Hm?"

"Uhm, Charlie has some friends that are rather famous."

"Well, we have a friend that is rather famous?"

"Shut up." You snapped at Hannah. You hated it when they commented on you being.. famous. It felt forced and weird. Super weird. Fucking christ. 

Hannah quietly put in, "but you really are."

"Ava, what did you mean by that?"

Ava giggled nervously. "Charlie is friends with Memelous. And, uhm, ImAllexx and Will."

"Gahaha what now?" Hannah stopped walking and turned to Ava. "What?"

"Oh, shit, I know them. They're youtubers. Or I don't know them but I know who they are."

Ava giggled again and rolled her eyes. "It's no big deal. So, yeah, as I said. Charlie is there with some friends. Will, Alex and another dude called Brandon. Not famous heh."

"That's not why you're dating Charlie, right?" You realized as you also stopped beside Hannah. "Why didn't you tell us that we were going to meet them?"

"ALEX?!" Hannah gasped. "Alex is so hot that I could finger myself to his face, I'm not even kidding, that's literally all I need-"

"Hannah what the fuck" you interrupted, giving her a frightened look.

Ava turned around, her ponytail swishing around her head, landing on her shoulder. She shrugged and opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again in instant regret. Her eyes drifted from you to behind you. A smile spread across her face, and she immediately turned from annoyed to happy again. 

"Aleeex! Charlie!" She yelled as she walked past you, and you and Hannah turned around, following her with your eyes. She hugged her boyfriend and greeted the other dudes with that handshake(you know).  "Everything good, Alex?"

"Yeah, how bout you?" Alex's dialect was straight up gorgeous, you loved the british accent. Turns out everyone in the group had that accent.
Heaven.

"It's alright." Ava turned back to you guys, making the rest of the group notice you as well.

You gave them a smile as you said, "hello". Alex gaze left Ava and instantly got stuck on you. He smiled back and took the steps he needed to give Hannah that handshake, breaking the eye contact.

"I'm Alex."

"I kno-, I'm Hannah." She replied with a soft blush on her face. Alex now reached out his hand for yours, and you two did that handshake as well, introducing your names to one another. 

Alex took a step back, letting the other dudes to the same thing. When you all were introduced to each other, Charlie tried to make conversation with you.

"So I've listened to your music and I fuck with you, it's cool to meet you honestly, mate." He said, and you gave him a warm smile.

"Glad to hear that, working on another album and I actually got Juice WRLD and Lil Uzi on it. In case you haven't heard I mean. It would be cool to link up with Trippie tho."

"That's fucking ©ool, that's so... wait, what's going on between you and Trippie?" The conversation between you two had caught the attention of the entire group. 

"Yeah, I heard he was all over you at that party in LA and since then you've lost contact? You're not even following him." Brandon put in.  

You shook your head, rolling your eyes. "No, we're just good friends, aight. And I'm literally following 15 people. Trippie and I have just had alot to do."

Charlie nodded shortly. "Ahhh, okay. That.. That's not what you hear on instagram or twitter. Sorry."

"So, are we gonna go get some Mc Donalds or what?" Ava put in, grabbing everyone's attention.

You sipped on your strawberry milkshake, holding the straw between your fingers. Then you dropped the straw from your lips as Alex opened his mouth to speak again.

"So who's taking care of your taxes? That's quite an expensive flat, mate."

You rolled your eyes at Alex and chuckled, "Actually I could afford it. But we all share the taxes actually, I mean, since we all share the home."

"Yeah, I get that." Alex responded as he stuck his hand inside the 'british chips'-bag. "Why did you start with music?" Basic.

"Uhm, I guess I've always liked to just.. sing and listen to music? It's- I got alot of inspiration from X, for example. Billie Eilish. I adore Tupac as well. Lil Wayne. Inspiration you know. And I guess that.. Because of X, you know. Eh." You always found it hard to reply to that question but it was quite a common one. "I don't know honestly. I guess, singing songs that people can relate to, it... I help people. I love helping people."

"Oh, yeah, I see that. Alot of people do it for money. But like, when did you decide that you were going to start producing music?"

You frowned as you tried to concentrate. Alex seemed to actually be interested in this and not just asking for smalltalk. "Well, I never really decided on anything. Look; I still go to school, or college. I'm not sure. The first song I uploaded, was a song that I wrote when I was 14, so I never really imagined it to get big. It was just a lil something, you know. And I uploaded two other songs as well. And people started to notice me on Soundcloud and instagram."

"Oh, Alex is also a Soundcloud rapper, you know." Ava put in with a smirk that made Alex laugh. Ava sat beside Alex, and Alex sat on the other side of the table, opposite to you.

"It kinda feels like the rap game, or whatever game you think that you are in, needs more people like you that actually do music because you find happiness in it. I think that's big." Alex shrugged, the conversation accidentally turned deeper than it had to.

You nodded with a smile, "Thank you." You simply said as you took another sip of the milkshake. "So you're a rapper, huh?"

This made Alex let out a cute little laugh, leaning backwards in the chair. "Pfft, yeah, totally. I'm- Yeah." You responded with a chuckle.

"He has made a 10 minutes long song." Will commented with a grin.

"What."

"Ten minute rule." Brandon explained as he pulled on one of his thick dreads.

Alex swallowed another french fry and shook his head with yet another cute laugh. You smiled giggled as well, as you asked, "Why did you start with youtube?"
