Laurex ~ A Cinderella Story

Chapter 27: Honey

(This chapter is really short, I'm sorry about that. I started writing this chapter today. So I wrote this in one day. Anyway, this chapter is really fucking adorable and you're going to want to squeal. OfficialBookWormy I'm looking at you especially. Anyway enjoy the chapter!)

Lauren's POV
He stayed holding me for a while. Not that I'm complaining, but I wonder what the hell is going on in his head. I wonder how he sees everything. I wonder how he truly sees me.

"Are you ok, Princess?" I hear him ask.
I lifted my head from his chest and looked at him in the eyes. "Yeah, I am. I feel better now," I told him.
"Ok," he said. He then let go of me and it looked like he was forcing himself to let me go.
"Thanks, Alex for making me feel a bit better," I said to him.
"You're welcome, Princess. I'll do anything to see a smile on your face," he said. Anything?
"Anything?" I asked him.
"Anything," he said. Oh, you just made a big mistake.
"Oh, you shouldn't have said that, honey," I said with a smirk. He saw the smirk on my face and he sent me a toothy grin.
"And why's that, honey?" he asked me with his classic smirk. I then stopped the voice memo from recording on my phone.
"Because I may or may not have recorded you saying that and I might use that for my own advantage, honey," I said and I patted his cheek, his soft toned cheek.

I walked away from him and sat back at my desk and continued drawing.

"I regret saying that now," I heard him mutter from behind me. I turn around to face him and in this angle and lighting, he looked so good. "Like what you see, honey?" Yeah, I did.
"Yeah my comfortable ass bed," I said as I switched my gaze to my bed.
"Oh c'mon. Why do you have to ruin it?" he asked, pouting. He lowkey looked adorable.

I got up from my seat and went up to him. I reached up for his cheeks and squeezed them.

"Awww! Is the jerk feeling offended?" I asked in a baby voice.
"You're so annoying," he struggled to say.
"Aww, why thank you! I try, I try," I said while patting his cheeks. I started walking away and he snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me towards him.
"Where do you think you're going, Princess," he asked. I'm not going to lie, but the way he said 'Princess' sounded so hot.
"Back to my desk," I replied to him, trying to act as if this boy isn't making my breath hinge.
"And why's that?" he asked me while his hands held me by my waist.

I tried to control my breathing when he slipped his hands under my shirt and started rubbing my sides. What is this boy doing to me?

"Because I-uh," I said trying to focus and control myself from becoming weak. "I want to go back and finish my drawing."
"Can't your drawing wait a little?" he asked in a husky tone. Oh. My. God.
"N-no it can't, Alex," I said.
"Are you sure, honey?" he asked, pulling me a bit closer. Control yourself. Control yourself!
"I'm sure, honey," I said, putting my hand on his thigh. And I heard him take in a sharp breath.
"Princess, what are you doing?" he asked me as he stared at my hand that was on his thigh.

I moved my hand upwards toward him on his leg, slowly and I can feel him staring at me. But I didn't care.

"I'm not doing anything, honey," I said in a soft tone. My hand started going up his abdomen and his chest and I felt his heart rate. His heart is beating as fast as mine.
"L-Lauren," I heard his breath hinge. I did that to him.

My hand went up to his neck and went up to his jaw. I moved his head to face me. So he can look me in the eye. His eyes are so pretty. And his hair looks a bit messy, but he still looked good. And his jawline was oh my god.

I felt like I was staring at him for too long because when I snapped out of the clouds, he was smirking at me.

"I knew you liked what you saw," he said with that egotistical smirk of his.
"You're so annoying," I said. He let me go and I was standing in front of him.
"Why thank you, Princess," he said.
"It wasn't a compliment, Jerk," I said, walking back to my desk.
"Well now I'm taking it as one," he said and then he kissed me on the cheek. The fact that he has no idea what those innocent kisses make me feel.
"Well you shouldn't," I muttered.
"Aye!" he exclaimed and I giggled. He then came closer to me.
"You know I'm kidding, you dork," I said, poking his toned chest.
"You better," he said.
"I am!" I exclaimed.
"Good," he said and I laughed. "Well, I'm gonna head out. I have somethings to do, unfortunately."
"Ok, Alex," I said.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school, ok Princess?" he asked.
"Ok, Alex," I said to him.
"Ok, bye Princess," he said and he kissed my cheek one last time and he was out through the window.

This boy.

I watched him climb out through my window. I was hoping he didn't fall, but at the same time, I was hoping he would.

Does that make me evil?

Sadly he didn't. Ok, that definitely makes me sound evil. But I watched him get in his car and drive off. I sat at my window a little longer. Thinking. Just thinking.

Of him.

I don't know what is happening to me. But I love hanging out him. I love how he makes me laugh. I love how he makes me smile. I love he always brightens up my day. He's an amazing guy and I don't know what I would do if he wasn't in my life. I like having him in my life. Wait no, I love having him in my life. I like him. I really like him. Like to the point where I'm literally missing him right now.

I miss him.

He just left my house and I already miss him. I don't just like him. I-I think I love him. Wait.

I love him.

I'm falling in love with Alex. With Alexander Burriss.

Holy shit.
