one more night [alex a]

𝐬𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧

April. Saturday.

Me and Alex walk out of his room, after getting some things done... Get ya mind out of the gutter, I meant homework.
Human Biology homework. Just kidding!
...I don't take Biology.

We walk out and see a whole bunch of... People? Humans? I heard about the pronouns thing, and now I'm afraid to speak.

"Sup." Alex nods to the people sitting on the couch. "Alex, you are barking up so many wrong trees." Lydia sighs and I pull him away. The group leaves with Elena and Lydia, Alex and I gather into the kitchen.

"I'm hungry." I say. "Oo, Lydia, can we make some yani que que's?" I ask her. ((Yani queques is basically fried dough, my mother tells me it has its own name for each culture))

"Ah, si." Lydia says yes and I squeal. "Wait, let me call Leslie to get the flour down from the high shelf."

I pout and go sit on the couch. Alex walks out and sits with me. "I'm bored. Wanna go out and do something?"

"Mom's at work and I need to ask her face to face if I wanna go out somewhere." He pouts. I sigh and pull out my phone. I scroll through Instagram and like a few post here and there.

"Wait," Alex says and I look up at him. "Do you have a Finsta?" He asks.

"Yeah, why?" I say. "I don't think I have it." He pulls out his phone and opens up his Finsta.

"Oh, that's okay, it's boring anyways." I lie. I don't want Alex to see my actual Finsta.

"I bet not, what is yours?" He asks. "Um." I'm hesitating and he notices. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just have pictures on there that might, maybe, make you think less of me, so." I look down at my hands and fiddle around with my fingers.

"I'm not gonna judge you." He assures me. I look up and see his beautiful smile. "Ugh. You're lucky that you're cute." I hand him my phone so he can see my user. He types it in and waits for me to accept his follow. I do and sigh.

Alex scrolls through my Finsta. "What's bad about this?" Alex laughs a bit. "They're just pictures of you by the pool in a bikini. And this one you're cuddling Rachel's dog. What is so bad about this?" He laughs.

I laugh a bit too and look at him. "I don't know. I just thought you might think less of me or something, because you and Finn always talk about stuff like that."

Alex sighs and grabs my hand. "I would never think less of you."

I smile and lean in to kiss him, but stop because I realize that we're in his living room and Lydia is only five feet away in the kitchen.
