DILEMMA

CHAPTER 8

(In this part the narrator is Stiles)

I was wondering if I should call Rosey to ask if she is feeling any better. I guess I shouldn't, what if she was sleeping? I hopped off the bed, got dressed and when down for breakfast. Of course, mom was at work. I made myself some banana bread and poured some almond milk. I decided I would go meet her later today in the evening, I'd even bring her some soup.

We almost reached our first stop. Meaning half of the road trip was over. She was sleeping, resting her head on her bag, the window was wide open and her hair ends were tickling my shoulder. I shifted the rearview mirror enough to be able to see her, just in case she wakes up.

We reached. Alexi was still sleeping her hair flying all over the place, she still looked cute. I took a Polaroid of her sleeping, it sounds like a stalker I know but I just couldn't help it. I took her hand a pulled off her scrunchie. I tried to gather her hair and tied it up. Her hair was so soft.

I wondered how a girl so beautiful would ever go out with me. Everything about her is so beautiful. I decided I would get a caramel frappe and a burger. I bought iced tea and a cookie for Alexi. When I came back to my car, there she was smiling at me as if nothing else mattered for her than me. I sat in the car and handed over the iced tea and cookie to her. She looked at it and back to me. "I see you've bought me something." She said smiling.

"Yeah... I didn't know you were awake so I just bought you it just in case you get hungry in the next half of the trip." I said.

She giggled and took the iced tea and cookie from my hand. "Thank you." She said.

I smiled back and started the engine again. "Hey, can we open the That thing?" She said pointing to the sunroof.

I laughed so much until I finally opened it and said, "Its called a sunroof."

"Yeah, whatever." She said looking away trying to hide her embarrassment.

She took off the scrunchie and tied her hair up properly. A few minutes passed before she realised and said, "Wasn't my scrunchie on my wrist when I slept?" I looked at her from the rearview mirror and said, "Your hair was flying everywhere and tickling my skin. I just had to tie it up." She looked at me blushing and didn't say anything.

She turned the volume to the music up. She sang along with the song so full of energy I couldn't help but laugh at her expressions. I joined in on her and we both sang the next hour away.

We pulled up outside the beach house. The first thing I noticed was the amazing view. Beach sand was everywhere and it felt so soothing to walk on. The waves were splashing on the sand and the horizon was something I couldn't take my eyes off.

"Amazing right?" Said Drake.

"It's beautiful." I said completely stunned.

He went back and took out the bags from the trunk of the car. When I turned around to help him I was stunned again midway. The house was huge. Mostly made of glass and completely see-through. All the lights were off but I could see the jacuzzi on the right side of the entrance. I turned around and said, "The house is so big and lavish and... I don't know what to say I just love it!"

He laughed not taking eyes off the bags and said, "I knew you would like it." As he picked up the bags I could see the muscles in his arms flex. I could do nothing but blush.
