ALICE

Chapter Nineteen

So, it's a short chapter again, but you'll forgive me, I think.

Wally's POV

Roy and I race down the hall and up the stairs and down another hall to Arty and Jade's apartment. When we get there we knock vigorously. My fist is moving so fast that it's only a blur.

A woman, Huntress, opens the door, laughing. "Come on in, boys," She says. "Their room is the down the hall, first on the right."

Roy and I rush to their room and fling open their door, and there they are, our beautiful girls. I grin bigger than I ever have before. "Artemis!" I yell and run over to her. Roy does the same thing and all I can think about is how gosh darn happy I am to see my girlfriend.

Roy's POV

I run over to Jade and tackle her and within a minute, we're on her bed, and she's in my lap, but facing me and we're kissing, and then I sliding my hands onto her hips, and then she's pulling my shirt off. I slip my hands up the back of hers, spreading my fingers out over her shoulder blades, and we're still kissing, and my lips are moving down her cheek to her neck to her collarbone and back up again. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Arty and Wally doing something similar.

We pull apart, and look at each other and sigh, then mash our lips back together to continue our kiss.

Wally's POV

Arty and I kiss and pull apart, kiss and pull apart, and kiss each other basically wherever we can get to. Finally, after a heavenly eternity, we pull apart we look each other in the eyes. Then Art snuggles against me and says, "Best 16th birthday ever."

Artemis' POV

Who needs a sweet sixteen when they have a Wally?

Jade's POV

I look over at my sister and her boyfriend, who are snuggling and being adorable and think about how she must be having a fabulous birthday. Lucky girl.
