We sat with my face pressed against his chest while he stroked my hair for a while when the rest of the boys started coming down the stairs. We straightened up as Jack, Rian, and Zack came over to us, Jack's arms piled high with food and even eating something, Zack had sodas, and Rian was too busy with his phone to notice anything else. Zack looked at us questioningly before dropping a Dr. Pepper in Alex’s and my laps. "I HAVE FOOOOD!" exclaimed Jack, dropping the load on the table. My stomach growled hungrily so i grabbed some fruit snacks and a nature bar. Alex and Zack didn't waste any time and hungrily fell on the food and not before long it was all gone. "What the fuck?!" Rian, yelled finally coming over to us, cell phone forgotten. He gestured at all of the food wrappers. "Hey bro maybe if you would spend some time with your band mates instead of glued to that damned phone maybe you could've gotten some," Alex said with a smirk on his face. He threw his arm lazily over my shoulder and i could feel my face get 30 shades redder. Rian then started ranting to us about how he can do whatever the hell he wants and Jack being Jack, started arguing with him just for the fun of it. "How about i take you home while dumb & dumber argue over stupid things?" he said, face inches from mine. Afraid i would squeak or no words would come out i just nodded. We got up unnoticed from the other guys except for Zack, who just nodded, and made our ways out the door. Alex jumped in and started the car up pulling out of the driveway and headed the opposite direction to my house. “Alex..?” I questioned looking over at him. “I thought you might be hungry so I was going to take you somewhere to eat. Is that okay?” He asked glancing over at me. My stomach rumbled as I looked at the dash. It was only 7:02 so I had time. “Sure,” I replied with a smile. “Great,” he said grabbing my hand with one of his. I could feel the butterflies just from this small bit of contact. After driving around for a bit Alex pulled up to this small homely looking restaurant. “It looks small and dumpy from the outside but this is my favorite place for a good Cheeseburger,” Alex said leading me inside still holding my hand. A hostess lead us to a small table obviously meant for two people on a date. Alex and I sat and I looked over the menu. After picking a BLT without the tomato and Alex choosing a bacon cheeseburger we had some time to talk. “So,” he began, “Why did you move from Ohio?” I looked up to find his chocolate eyes bright and expectant. He really cared? I wasn’t really used to people caring that much. “Well, my parents were just getting by, we never really had much, and then my dad got this big job offer here in Baltimore. Not in any position to pass it up we moved, leaving behind my brother, his wife, my nephews, and all of our friends.” I drop my eyes feeling a pang of sadness wash through me, cold, and uninvited. Alex notices and reaches for my hand under the table. “I’m sorry. I know exactly how you feel though,” he says eyes sincere, his voice trembling a little. He squeezes my hand and pulls away as the waitress brings the food back to the table. Alex begins ravenously consuming his food, the traces of our little moment long gone, so I figure I might as well eat. We eat in silence concentrating on our meals and when we’re finished the waitress brings our check and we head to the car. We get in and Alex begins the 20 minute or so drive to my house. He pulls in the driveway and turns the engine off. A quick glance at the dash shows me that its 7:59 and all of the lights are off in my house, signaling that my parents aren’t home yet. “oh shit,” I mutter, “I forgot that my parents had to go to a dinner party tonight for my dad’s job.” “is that a problem? You’ll be able to get into your house, right?” Alex asks, catching me off guard by grabbing my hand –again. I smile, “yeah, I’ll be fine. I just don’t really want to be left alone with my thoughts,” I say glancing up at him shyly from underneath my soft brown fringe. “uh is it okay if I come inside with you? Uh, just until your parents get home…” Alex stutters a bit saying this. “Yeah! Let’s go,” I say pulling him out of the car with me onto my porch as I unlock the door. I let him inside and I leave him in the living room as I go into my room to change out of the clothes that I had been in. I pull on some shorts and a hoodie and throw my hair up not caring how it looks. I join Alex in the living room and plop myself on the couch next to him. “ALEX,” I say excitedly, “WE SHOULD HAVE A HARRY POTTER MOVIE MARATHON!” I jump up and go to put the first movie in. I grab a blanket and join Alex on the couch again, and I feel him wrap his arms around me. I throw the blanket over both of us, and before I know it, I’m falling asleep listening to him hum softly. I jerk awake as Alex shakes my shoulder to wake me. “he- oh. Uh. You kinda drooled on my shirt.” “OH MY GOD,” I yell jumping up staring at the huge puddle of drool on his gray shirt. “I’m sorry. Come on I have a shirt you can borrow.” I take him into my room as I rummage through my drawers. I find a Blink- 182 shirt. “take that shirt off and I’ll wash it and bring it to you to school.” He takes off his shirt and I try not to stare but oh my god. He has a great body. He’s actually kind of hairy but I always found some body hair really hot. I throw him my shirt, avoiding his eyes. I’m pretty sure he caught me checking him out because he laughs and wraps his arms around me taking me by surprise. “what? Do you like what you see?” he says with a laugh. “Ehh. You’re not that bad. I’ve seen better.” I’m bluffing. I am so bluffing. He seems to notice and leans into me. “well you’re beautiful, and I really don’t know if I’ve seen better,” Shocked, I snap my head up just as he brings his lips to mine. I close my eyes and tangle my hands in his hair. His lips are urgent on mine, and I can feel his hands leave my waist to roam the rest of my body. He pushes me onto the bed and lays just on top of me, taking his shirt off. I run my hands over the contours of his chest, feeling the tense muscle underneath his skin. He takes my hoodie off, leaving me in a thin cami, just as my phone rings. “Shit!” I jump up grabbing it and answering it. It’s my mom, letting me know that her and my dad will be home in ten minutes. “Is everything okay?” Alex asks, slightly out of breath. “Yeah everything’s fine, but my parents will be home soon.” I sigh. “you should probably leave.” “oh shit, it’s 10:07,” Alex points out. “you’re right I should probably head home. We put our shirts back on and I walk him to his car. “see you at school?” he asks with a smile. “yeah,” I laugh as he kisses me goodbye. “good. Because I might never get my shirt back if you don’t come to school.” I laugh at him as he gets in his car and pulls away.
