Chapter 7 - Coloring Books

Alex's PoV

It's been a month since that sleep over. A month. Ever since then, we've held hands, kissed, kept each other out of trouble, everything except for get married and fucked, but not yet.

It's Sunday morning and my 'dad' wanted me to go to the book store and check it out. I love reading, writing, all of that stuff. Maybe john can come up with me if he's not busy.

Nah. He's got his crazy family already so, I might as well leave him be. 10 am. I pulled on an MCR T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and tennis shoes before running out of the house and down the street towards the main part of town. My phone then buzzed as I was running. I stopped for a second and looked at the message.

BabyFreckles💝: Babe, wanna come over soon?

Me: Sorry, baby. I'm going to the book store. I was gonna ask if you wanted to come too but I knew you might be busy.

BabyFreckles💝: My dad isn't here. He still on that business trip. He won't be back for another 2 monthssss ;) Come to my house, Peggy, Angelica, and Eliza will be there too.

Me: Alright. I love you 💕

BabyFreckles💝: I love you too 💞

I smiled down at my phone, giggling as I placed it back in my pocket and started heading down to the book store, approaching it and walking in. It was a small library, yet it was also so colorful and magnificent. It's bigger than the libraries back in Monticello.

I wanted to get a book for John. Possibly a coloring book or a childish book. If you're wondering why, it's an inside joke. About 3 weeks ago, Lafayette found John's notebook, child coloring books, and other babyish things he drew and colored in. It was honestly super cute to me, but he was fucking embarrassed.

While looking around the book store, I spotted a book. It looked interesting so I picked it up, got the coloring books and items, went to the cashier, and purchased the objects.

Me: I'm on my way, babyboy.

TalkLess: Alexander, this is the group chat.

Baguette: Awwwwww ❣️❣️❣️

Me: so fucking whatttt? You know I'm talking to Jackie.

BabyFreckles💝: Don't listen to aaron, babe. I'll see you soon!! ❤️❤️

I soon made my way to John's house, knocking on the door before hearing a female voice yell 'come in!'

I walked in, Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy sitting on the couch watching tv with my lover. John looked at me and smiled, jumping up from his seat and ran in to hug me tightly. "Lex!"

"Heya, Johnny!" I hugged back tightly, taking in the warmth of his small frame. Kissing his head, I looked at the sisters.

"Hey Alex," Eliza smiled at me, waving politely.

"Hey, Liza, Peggles, Angie."

"Hey" "Hi." They said, not even looking over at me.

"Rude." I commented, stroking John's fluffy hair. He looked up at me, his big emerald and chocolate mixed eyes glimmering. "Can you stay the night? Or does Mr. Washington want you back home soon?" He asked, his lip folding into a puppy pout.

I cooed, kissing John's forehead, "I'm not sure. I could ask George but tomorrow we have school, babe."

"I know, but we're old enough to stay here, right? By ourselves?" He had hope shining in his eyes. "Baby, you have company, just have them sleep over instead.. George is the principal which meannssss, I have to go to school with him."

John whined like a child, hugging my arm tightly, "but you can walk with me!"

"Jac-.."

Angelica jumped in, "Hey, Alex, just stay with him tonight. It'll be alright!" She smiled, getting up and walked towards me, "Take a break from school and have fun, girls we should go now."

"Why? So they can fuck?" Peggy laughed as she stood up and started walking out.

Eliza shook her head "let's just go."

And like that, the girls were gone, and me and john were alone. The smaller male looked up at me again, smiling as he let go of me, "well, is there anything you wanna do, lex?"

"Well, I brought something for you I think you might like." I giggled, pulling out the children coloring book. He had the resting bitch face "you guys gotta let me live this down. Please."

"NOOOOOOOO-" I snorted, beginning to crack up laughing, falling onto my side.

"I-I'm not a child!" He shouted, whining like a baby.

"So adorable!" I giggled.

It was before I realized it that John was tearing up "I'm not a little kid!" He hissed.

I stopped smiling, pulling him close into a hug "Shhh... I'm sorry- I'm sorry baby.." i apologized.
