Chapter 3- Thursday night I paced up and down in the hallway trying to calm myself. Every two minutes I'd glance up at the clock and panic even more. Alec was meant to be here any minute. I quickly ran upstairs and grabbed the play of Romeo and Juliet, then brought it down. Suddenly a loud knocking made me jump and I threw the book in the air, which came down on a vase of flowers smashing it to the ground. Mum and dad were not going to be happy when they got back next week. They're were off in San Francisco, enjoying the city, but they abandoned me of course. I reached for the door handle and opened it afraid of what I'd find. Alec stood there, looking at his watch. I couldn't help but stare at how hot he looked. With scratched jeans and a pullover which had the words Wat's up? on it, his hair spiked with jell, it shone black in the moonlight. "Hey. You gonna let me in?" He asked, finally looking up at me. I blushed. "Ok" I stammered. I walked inside and waited for him to follow. I felt more awkrawd than I ever had in my life as I led him into my lounge room. I watched him sit down before suddenly remmebering where I'd left the book. I ran out and found the book under a pile of glass, which I carelssly brushed off. I ran back into the room and sat down. Alec was running his hands through his hair but I did my best to ignore him. We sat in silence for what felt like only a few seconds, but according to the clock, had been ten minutes. "Are we going to start?" He asked, finally looking up. I clenched the side of the couch with my hands in shock of him suddenly speaking. "Yeah, ok, yep, let's.....start, yeah..." I have this problem where I speak a lot and fast when I'm nervous. Nick finds it hilarious, but once I saw myself doing it on camera and I looked like an idoit. I really hoped that wasn't the case right now. Alec did a cough/laugh before righting himself. Obviously it was the case. I handed him the shakespeare book and I noticed my hands were shaking. Taking a deep breath I spoke again, but it still came out really really fast! Urrrgghhh! "So where do you want to start?" I asked. He looked at me and my heart instantly acclerated. All I got for a reply was a shrug of his shoulders. How was I meant to work with him? He looked bored and I could see where this was going. We were probably going to sit on this couch for the whole hour making a random comment here and there. I didn't want to have to do this every Thursday! I suddenly felt embarrassed of what he'd tell his friends back at school. He'd probably bad-mouth me the jerk. It'd be just like him to sit around at my house and do nothing. Anger flashed through me and my cheeks heated up. HE could at least be polite and say something! This was taking up my time! I didn't have to do this! I didn't feel scared to talk anymore, in fact I was the complete opposite. I stood up and again did the signature hands on hips move which I instantly regretted. "Seriously, what is your problem?" I demanded. Alec's face was filled with surprise and he ran his hand through his hair. "You don't know me" He muttered, not meeting my eyes. I looked down at him, scrutinizing his every move. "I think I know you well enough" This time he stood up, eyes blazing, yet I couldn't help think about how beautiful they were. His hands curled into fists at his sides and I couldn't help but feel imtimidated as he towered over me. Curse my shortness. "You don't know the first thing about me" Even though his expression was hard, his voice was soft and low. I felt suddenly bad about what I said. I didn't really know him, so why should I judge him. Alec sat down on the couch and seemed to almost sulk. He had his arms crossed and looked like he was pouting. It reminded me of a four year old who didn't get their way. I sat down next to him and tried to soften my harsh expression. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said" I tried to look at him and my heart fluttered when his green eyes sparkled as he stared into mine. I froze, and I know that's sounds corny, but I seriously couldn't move. All I could do was stare at him. I shut my mouth which had opened slightly in my surprise and tried to wrench myself away from him. The strong wind outside suddenly blew open the front door making me jump. This gave me the opportunity to get off the couch. I ran and closed the door and spun around. I took one step forward and felt something strange under my foot before slipping and flying in the air. I hit the ground smack hard, hearing and feeling something crumple beneath me. I'd slipepd and landed on the broken vase. What is with my bad luck? My ankle screamed in protest as I tried to stand, making me lay on the ground again. What should I do? I didn't want to call out to ALec. I winced as I tried to move my left ankle again, but pain shoot up my leg. I flicked some of the shards of the vase away from me, but I couldn't reach the one that was digging into my back. "Jessica? Are you ok?"Alec's beautiful voice rung through the house. I couldn't help but feel like laughing at my situation. "I'd like to say I am ok, but.....I'm not. I could probably use a little help" I smiled at how dumb I sounded. ALec was beside me in a flash and I couldn't understand how he'd gotten here. "How did you-" "What happened? Did you have a fight with the vase?" He smirked looking at the broken vase. I scolwed at him, but couldn't help give away a small smile. "No, this was already broken...when you got here because...well you don't need to know the details...but I slipped and I've hurt my ankle" He helped me up and wrapped my arm around his shoulder for support. He felt so warm and strong, I felt so comforted. As he took us to the kitchen I couldn't help looking up at his eyes. They were almost mesmorising and every time I looked at them I just couldn't look away. He looked down ay me and my eyes quickly flitted away, but I had a horrible feeling that the light blush on my face would give me away. "Um...have you got a first aid kit around here somewhere?" He set me down on a chair, while he looked through the cupboards. I couldn't help but look at how muscular he was. Stop checking him out! "Yeah, up in the top right hand cupboard" HE reached up there with no effort, where as I would have had to get a chair. ALec put the kit down on the table and rummaged around till he found a roll of bandage. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" I joked. It was strange, I was feeling so at ease with him now. He grinned and I was slightly dazzled for a moment. "Yeah, I actually took a first aid class. See, you don't know everything about me" I instantly felt bad again, even though he'd meant it as a joke. "I really am sorry about that I dind't-" He laughed and started to wrap the bandage around my swollen ankle. I let out a little cry and he froze. "I'm sorry!" He had a look of worry on his face and I felt slightly joyed. It was like he actually cared about me. "It's fine it's not your fault OUCH!" I shrieked. My ankle was killing. And as much as Alec was trying to be gentle, I don't think it was working. "Um...sorry. I'll try and distract you...umm, I'll tell you about myself. I'm the quarter back in the football team-" I chuckled. "Wow! I never knew that!" He finished off my bandage and gave me another breath-taking grin. "I know everyone thinks I'm just a jerk who doesn't care about anyone but himself. But I'm really not like that. What did you think of me?" My heart skipped a beat and my mouth went dry. I quickly tried to speak, when I realised I should just be natural. "I didn't think that. I thought you were a jerk that didn't care about anyone but himself and his hair, which has a lot of product in it" I smiled to let him know I was kidding. He ran his hand through his spiky hair again and was happy to watch him. "What? You don't like my hair? I spend a lot of time on it!" I was feeling better already and my mood was lifted. "I can see that!" I was suddenly lifted up in the air and I shrieked in surprise. I was in Alec's arms and I suddenly froze. He was holding me like I weighed nothing. "What are you doing?" I was so shocked I felt giddy, which made me smile happily. "Going to the lounge room" He ran with me through the hallway and set me down gently on the couch and was leaning over me. I stopped smiling and was again caught in his eyes. Our faces were only centimetres apart and I could feel his warm breath on my face. His eye's sparkled and I couldn't look away, only stare at his beauty. His warm hands cupped my face and that's when I realised what was happening. I should have pulled away, I should've said something, but every part of me ached to stay still. He pressed his lips against mine and I felt alive. I twisted my hands in his hair and wouldn't let go of him. He seemed to have the same passion as I did and I wish he wouldn't stop kissing me. But sadly he broke away and I was left staring aat him absoluetly shocked and amazed. I couldn't help the slow grin that crept across my face. He gave me another dazzling grin before I saw worry flit across his face. "Um, I gotta go, but I had a good time studying" Then he was gone in a flash, moving with the same speed I'd been dumfounded with before. I sat on the couch smiling to myself and couldn't stop. Alec Farley just kissed me. * * * * * * Hey guys! Thanks for commenting! Comment more and vote and I will upload soon! Thankyou!!!!!!! And sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes!!!!!!!
