Beautiful Disaster

Ch.14

After a long but also comforting weekend spent in the cabin our time here was finally coming to an end. It was now Tuesday so we were packing up our things and cleaning up the cabin.

Although I was a little on the fence about coming here I'm glad I did. It was something about the cabin that made me feel like all my worries in the world didn't matter and after the emotional turmoil I put myself through last week I can positively say that I needed this.

As I fold the blanket I scan my eyes around the room. Dina was currently helping Marco take all the ashes out of the fireplace. She was laughing at something he said and he was smiling back at her.

Albeit her telling me that they were no more than two people getting to know each other I had a good feeling about the outcome of there relationship and the reason why I could be so sure of it was because of the way he was looking at her. He looked at her like she was the only thing that was important and to me that was enough.

I smile to myself then proceed to fold the ends of the blanket before putting it on top of the couch which held the rest of the sheets we used.

Picking up my bag and Dina's I leave the cabin and walk towards my car avoiding the fallen branches on the ground. As I cross the road to the old hotel parking lot where my car resides I notice Alec leaning on his truck with his phone in his hand. He looks up in my direction and I smile a little as he winks at me.

Ever since that moment in the kitchen the other night we have been getting more and more comfortable with each other but not fully to the point where I allow the crazy thoughts about giving him a chance in my head.

Even though I probably shouldn't have I found comfort in his arms and slept in them every night since I've been here. It wasn't a thing we talked about but somehow still happened. He never questioned why I spent so much time cuddled into him but even if he did what was I supposed to say?

I mean how could I just 'Hey, you help me sleep and even though we aren't together you provide me with a sense of comfort'?

I understood that we were together in a fake sense but we act in a very real way and I kept convincing myself that it was all pretend but how could it be pretend when the only person we were pretending for wasn't around?

This was the internal battle I had dealt with since our kiss in the kitchen but I never dwelled on it to much because I always have a habit of making nothing into something.

After throwing our bags in, I closed my trunk and walked towards the drivers seat. I started my car and pulled out of the old parking lot driving my car right next to Alec's truck to wait for Dina.

Alec took this as a signal to come and talk to me. "You know we never talked about the rules of us." Alec says peeking his head in through my window.

"Okay, so what are the rules?"

"There isn't much but I just wanted us to talk about it seeing as we never got to." I nod

"Alright, well first, no girls at least not in public and not anyone I know that knows me please because seriously if word gets around that you were caught cheating I'll never hear the end of it. Trust me the rumors about Carter's scandalous adventures were enough to last me a lifetime so keep your dick in your pants until this is over or at least have the decency to be discreet about it." I plead.

"You won't have to worry about that, Sugar plum. Anything else?"

"What would this whole situation consist of? I mean I get the whole fake relationship thing is to make Carter pissed but just explain what is we have to do." I say confused.
