The Boy From My Backyard Chapter Four

Chapter Four:

Alexis's Point of View

The bright sun shone through my curtains and illuminated my room. I slowly sat up and looked next to me, Alexander sound asleep. I slipped out of the covers and slowly an quietly went downstairs.

There, sitting on my kitchen counter examining an apple was... Alexander? I stood in the entry to the kitchen confused. "Alexander?"

The boy looked up smiling, "Why hello there." I was majorly confused.

Without moving I asked, "Who are you?" His laugh was warm and happy causing a smile to form on my face.

He grasped my hands looking deep into my eyes, "my darling, I am Jeremy." I couldn't breathe. "Alexander's brother."

I stood there taking my hands from his. "I know you must have a bunch of questions, so let me explain to you with some breakfast." I nodded and sat at the table fully waking up.

Breakfast was in front of me surprisingly fast and I started eating as he explaining his left hand entertained with my right.

"Okay, keep up. My brother and I were walking through the woods late two nights ago. Completely pitch black- couldn't see ten feet in front of yourself. We heard some type of animal, a creature we've never seen before." It had been here also.... "And we took of running and split us up. I heard his scream and spent the night in the tree to be safe but searched hard for him. This morning I saw the blood trail and follow it here." I nodded. "And now I'm in your presence."

My breakfast left me in the sink as something roared or howled greatly from outside. Jeremy stood against me hugging me and held my hair back.

I became dizzy, both boys were drugs easily addicted to. I turned around and suddenly he leaned forward pressing his sour lips to mine. He was sour candy that you can't have enough.

Slowly I kissed him back putting my arms around his neck- thankfully he wasn't too tall. Jeremy placed his fingers in my already messy hair but pulled back after a few more seconds. "Now where exactly is my brother? Not dead I hope?" His smile melted my heart. WAIT!

I wanted Alex! But Jeremy...? How could I want them both?! I sat on the counter gaining a little space, "He's in my bed...."

That made him laugh crazily, "I should've guessed." he winked and I blushed.

He went upstairs an I sat there frozen. Alexander was sweet and heart melting, when Jeremy was sour and intoxicating. How would I choose?!?!
