my life as alexa

Chapter 30 : New year's

I wore a white jumpsuit and went downstairs to greet my mom and her sister's which means Nicole will be here and Dave too.

Dave Johnson is my childhood crush our parents thought we'd be together forever but I soon got over him now we're just casually friends.

People usually spend Christmas at their houses but my mom loves spending time with her sister's so they come over every Christmas to spend time together.

Mom " Alexa get the finger foods "

Alexa " sure mom "

I head to the kitchen and get the five platters and begin to arrange the snacks my mom made with zoey .

Mom " David go help your cousin "

He comes to the kitchen and I hand him the red velvet cup cakes to arrange.

Knowing that more cousins are on the way I made him arrange enough.

Dave " I'm done "

Alexa " Great come over here and help me with the duffel eggs "

I gently arrange them on the platter my hair almost gets on a few but he holds my hair backwards for me .

I hear someone cough and I know it's Nicole.

Nicole " Hayden wouldn't like this "

She says picking a cupcake from the platter and taking a bite.

I try to move but he's right behind me I stand steady by holding his chest for support I move past him and wash my hands .

Alexa " it's nothing and you know that "

Dave " Alright I'll be taking my leave "

Dave's 21 just like Aaron so he usually dosen't have time for Nicole'a taunts and I'm still wondering how I fell for someone my brother's age.

I look at the neatly arranged platter's each filled with Cupcakes,duffel eggs,miniature meat pies,sausage rolls and weirdly enough chicken wings it was my idea .

I neatly arrange them on the table and head back to the kitchen I use the mirror to try and see so I can pack my hair in a bun but I feel someone else's hand on my hair and you guessed it it's Dave he used a rubber band to catch my hair in a tight bun .

I'm not suspecting anything he's quite friendly and nice I'm sure it's just a friendly gesture .

Alexa " Thank you "

Dave " Your a lot taller than I recall "

Alexa " Well I was pretty young "

I said with a hearty smile

Dave " But your smile never changed "

Alexa " Look whose lovely today "

Dave " Nah your still the Dragon butt I know "

Alexa " And their it is "

We both laugh gently

Dave " why don't we beat this joint "

Alexa " more reasons for my mom to push us together "

Dave " True well I'll be eating all the finger foods "

I watch him leave his designer sneakers following his trail .

Damn He's not

I quickly jog the thought out of my head I take my phone from my pocket and call Hayden.
