Beautiful Disaster

Ch.18

After explaining what happened to Dina and talking for a little while she fell asleep while I on the other hand tossed and turned around the bed.

Deciding I wasn't going to get rest anytime soon I huff while getting out of the bed and head downstairs.

Walking to Dina's clean laundry basket I grab a pair of shorts and change deciding to keep Alec's sweater on. I fold my leggings and walk to the kitchen.

Placing my pants on the side I grab a plate from the cabinet to make myself a plate of mash potatoes and potato salad before grabbing a few biscuits and popping it in the microwave. I set the timer for 3 minutes and grab a cup to fill it with iced tea then put a few ice cubes in it.

When I notice the time say 0:01 I open the microwave door and mentally give myself a pat on the back for catching in time.

Lord knows it takes real skills to master that kind of power.

Lightly pressing into the biscuits to see if it's warm enough I see a figure come down the stairs. When the person steps into my line of vision I smile shyly like a child who's been caught doing something they weren't supposed to.

I didn't want to get caught sneaking food this late at night so I did the only reasonable thing I innocently hid the plate behind me.

"Alec what a pleasant surprise what are you doing here?" I say as he rubs his eyes looking around the kitchen. His eyes fall on my pants and he looks back at me.

"What are you doing sugarplum?" He says back to using my designated nickname.

"Me doing something? Pfft as if. I'm just going to leave do as you please." I say turning around grabbing my cup and walking out of the kitchen but of course he blocked my way by standing in front of me. I mentally curse myself but still remain calm.

"Alec please move I'm extremely tired." I say moving to the side before he stepped in my way again.

"You're naked?" He asked but it seemed more like a statement than a question.

"I'm not naked. I have clothes on if you can't clearly see." I say rolling my eyes.

My food is going to get cold all over again if I keep standing here with him.

"You don't have pants on and I know that because your pants are over there." He says a little uncomfortable pointing to my leggings on the counter. I laugh and do something a fully awake Skyler wouldn't have done.

Placing my food on the edge of the counter for a quick escape I walk a little closer to him while he stepped back.

"Do you want to check if I have on pants or not Alec?" I say seductively or at least I tried to say seductively.

"Sugarplum are you okay?" He says walking around me into the kitchen. I follow him as I play with the bottom of his sweater.

"I'm great Alec but you know you can see for yourself if you want." I say cornering him.

"I d-don't t-t-think that's necessary." He says stuttering as I tiptoe.

"Well I'm going to show you anyways." I say in his ear before grabbing his hands and putting them on the bottom of his sweater. As I felt his warm hands graze my upper thigh I shivered.

This was supposed to effect him but it seemed like it was backfiring.

Pulling my hands away from his I let him lift up the sweater which he was doing bittersweetly slow. By the time he reached high enough and saw the purple outline of the shorts his hands stayed in there spot. He started tracing my leg and I took a sharp breath which made his eyes look in my direction.
